I am rooted on OC3 with KNOX intact. Is there currently a way to upgrade to OG9 while keeping root and not tripping KNOX?
My main motivation is in using Samsung Pay.
With Android pay, I can uninstall superuser (unroot) and Android pay works. then if i need to do something that requires root access, i can re-install SU and do what i need. will something similar work with Samsung Pay?
will i simply be able to sideload the Samsung pay APK and Framework APK? or will i have to upgrade to OG9? is there a way to upgrade to OG9 and keep root & KNOX?
what are those of you in my same situation planning on doing?
thanks!
In the same boat. **** up the creek without a paddle.

Same as you: Stock (OC3), rooted, Knox intact.
I had successfully installed Android pay. Disabled root with SuperSU. Activated my cards. Re-enabled root. And I was able to make android pay purchases! I was a happy camper....for about 1 day.
Now every time I go to pay I get the message: "This card cannot be used right now." I have tried everything I can think of short of permanently removing root or removing SuperSU itself: different cards, disabling root, rebooting, etc
I was just in the Play Store looking at root cloaking. Has anyone had any success with non-xposed root cloaking? I was looking at the app: Rootcloak Plus / Cydia Substrate. Don't know if that would work on our devices or if that would screw up knox. Anyone know anything about it? I don't have an up-to-date backup so I'm not going to try it just yet.
Here is to hoping someone finds a solution....
do yo have a link for the samsung pay APKs? all the ones i have seen on XDA will not install.
also, did you install the framework or just the samsung pay APK?
thanks!
Samsung pay finally showed up for me on Google play. It downloaded and installed. When I open Samsung pay I get a message that says a software update is required. When I click the update button, Samsung pay closes and I get a pop up that says unfortunately Samsung pay had stopped. Will installing the Samsung pay framework fix this?
From all I've seen, you have to be on OG9 for Pay to work. You could try installing the framework as well, and see if that works. It would be installed automatically in OG9.
for me, samsung pay was more important than root. it was one of the main reasons i got the phone as i tend to forget my wallet a lot...lol. as mentioned by others, when trying to install samsung pay when rooted, it would ask to update. so i unrooted via SU and updated to OG9. as of now, samsung pay is installed and working. however, does any know if i can still get root? i read somewhere that you just have update the ping pong root app and reapply. however, i've also read that ping pong root will not work with 0G9.

There is currently no way to get root on OG9.
OE2 is the last rootable firmware version.
Is there anyway to downgrade OG9 to OE2? Accidently upgraded..

I just had the absolute BEST customer experience at a Costco wireless kiosk. Not only was the clerk very knowledgeable and helpful, but he was also completely sympathetic to the whole rooting situation and willing to help me however he could. On the down side, he was not the one pulling the phone from inventory and had no way to tell what software version I would get, but I asked the girl who did pull the box if she'd be willing to look for a barcode that ended in OC3 or OE1 and she was cool about it. Even though she couldn't figure out how to do it, she ended up pulling an OC3 for me anyway! And when I took it back to the kiosk for activation the dude was like "yeah I'll just skip the setup wizard and let you handle that on your own since you'll be rooting it." On top of that, their deal included a $150 costco gift card, waiving the tax paid for the retail price of the phone, a free 2 amp car charger with an extra usb port, and a windshield mount!
So on to my question, I'm sitting here with a virgin OC3 phone, what should I do first? I've been sifting through the info on here for a few weeks, but much of it is compiled in an "as it was happening" kind of fashion - meaning I'm not sure if all the info provided is relative to "what we know now," if that makes sense. I just want to make sure I get the best rooting experience possible - for instance I'm not sure if I should update to OE1 and then root, or if I can even do that, or if I should just root now and forget about it? If I root OC3 (or OE1) is there a patched 5.1.1 image available out there? Anything else I should know or watch out for?
There is currently no root for 5.1.1 and there is no guarantee that there ever will be. The exploit used by PingPong Root was patched and so another exploit has to be found.
I would say, if you value root more, you're stuck on 5.0.2 and to just root it now. If you want the 5.1.1 update more, update it and use it as if root will not be found, that way you won't be disappointed.
Yup sounds good! Is there anything that OE1 brings to the table that I should consider updating for before or after rooting?
And I guess what I was asking about 5.1.1 - I remember being able to update to a more current version through Odin on my S4 - even though the actual OTA for that version patched the root methods. There was a way to get that update without losing root. So there's nothing like that for the S6 yet?

OE2 is as far as you can go. Go ahead and root OC3 and update to OE2 by flashing a OE2 stock rooted rom if you like.
Here are a couple stock rooted roms. Most of the others you need to be on OE2 already before you can flash them.

Is this the most recommended method to root my Verizon Note 12.2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783950
Is this a permanent root? Will I be able to receive and install OTA updates from Verizon if I use this root and will the root be uninstalled as a result?

That's a good question . I'm looking to root without tripping Knox on my wifi version I just purchased off of ebay. I'm looking for an tar.md5 to start with.. Any help would be appreciated.
Same here. A White WiFi Note 12.2 64GB I bought off eBay, which according to Samsung's website, doesn't exist.
Hello,
Great tablet... I just got one off ebay myself and I see towelroot does not work- app not installed. I Allowed unknown sources in security. I am curious as to why you guys are concerned about tripping the knox since this I think this tablet would be out of warranty, unless you would not want to trip it for resale?
Any success on rooting so far? I am no too experienced but the first thing I'd like to do is get the apk from this enhanced s-note on all my other note tablets and phone.

I tried 2 different versions of Kingroot with no success.
Hi I used the cf auto root - check the 1st pic I attached. Once you plug in a windows pc it should download the samsung drivers then download that specific dl in the pic (I can't copynpaste on here)- it gives you the latest odin program download. It really easy from there. Once you reboot, supersu is there. I then dl'd root checker, titanium backup, busybox, root explorer and most important twrp manager from the play store. It was all too easy. I'm on 5.02 and I did check the knox and it started but stopped and said it couldn't be accessed at this time. I'm keeping the stock rom and just wiped dalvik and cache in recovery.

The most effective way to root this tablet is with Cf-autoroot. It will trip the Knox counter but it will permanently enable SuperSU on your device.
If you root your device you will NOT be able to take OTAs. If you run rooted stock firmware it will alert you that an update is available but most likely it will fail to install. I tried updating my firmware while rooted via Kies and it failed each time.
So I have a galaxy s4 active and I rooted a while back with kingroot I know it isn't good but I did it anyway... and unistalled king root completely and supposedly should have removed my root. So I was trying to play Pokemon Go after recently purchasing a pokemon go plus and I can't play and it is because of safetynet even though I have no root. I realized that when I boot up my s4 a screen with a padlock icon and text that says custom appears. I thought this may mean my bootloader is unlocked and that this could trigger me failing safety net. I have been looking every where on how to relock my bootloader. I just want to pass that safety net baloney.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Try installing latest stock firmware for your device with odin or kies/smartswitch
Regards
Sawdoctor
I used smartswitch and I have the latest firmware
So I used smartswitch and it said I had the latest firmware what now?
I tried everything
So smartswitch said my device isn't compatible to initialize (sgh-i537) so I tried using Odin to return to stock but the only firmware avaliable for my device is kitkat and I have lollipop so I cant downgrade can I? Even then I get and error in download mode saying fail secure download: boot or something like that. If I hard reset through the stock recovery will I be able to pass safetynet I even tried triangle away because I thought maybe it had something to do with my system being custom and it needed to be official and triangle away didn't even work I tried rooting again just so I could rename the su files to su1 which people said would let you play that didn't work either I looking how get magisk I couldn't do it. Is there anyway I can fully go back to stock that will work and will allow me to pass safetynet I am not concerned about root currently I don't need it.
hi folks. i have an unrooted s7 exynos. i would like to install some modified system apps like the blackout apps. youtube, google app etc. i need root to do that but have concerns about android pay. i know this will permanently trip knox and kill samsung pay but not bothered about spay.
i also know that i can potentially use magisk and still be able to use android pay, but that situation seems fluid. anyone know if i can root, change system apps, unroot, and still be guaranteed android pay working? or is it any modification at all to /system that will block it? and if that is the case, presumably reflashing stock rom to recover android pay access should work?
cheers.
If you pass safety net then android pay will work, in theory if you successfully unrooted with no traces left behind then safety net will pass. But the challenge would be a clean unroot, I'm not sure how easy that is. Most unroot methods I've seen are a reset, so you'd lose your app changes anyway.
Magisk is quite effective, afaik the only thing it can't hide from saftey net is Xposed.
