Root G920FXXU2BOFJ without tripping KNOX?

Hey dudes,
I'm relatively new to Samsung devices, so I have few big questions.
1. Is it possible to root the new firmware G920FXXU2BOFJ without tripping KNOX counter?
2. If there is a way to root but only with tripping KNOX, can I somehow reset the counter and go back to 100% stock without any traces?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, there is a method using PingPong Root however you need to be on 5.0.2. If not then unfortunately there is no way to root at the moment without tripping knox.

I know about PingPong Root. But I'm asking to root 5.1.1! ?

No way without tripping Knox, if you don't care about Knox flash uni kernel which will auto root your s6

Okay, thanks. Is there any way to reset the KNOX counter (like TriangleAway), e.g. when I flash a stock rom will that reset the counter??

There is currently no way to reset the counter at the moment. I am sure some devs will figure it out at some point.

Alright! Thanks a bunch....Guess that means waiting for me

Any progress on root for 920I 5.1.1 knox 0X0?

Hey guys,
I am planning to move to 5.1.1 stock G920IIUS2COH1 for my 920I but I want to know if there is still no possible solution to root without tripping KNOX?
I have 5.0.2 rooted I did not install TWRP to avoid tripping KNOX, is this better to stick like that?
Thank you

You will not hear of a fix, it might come, it might never not. If you need root stick to 502

It's possible if someone manages to leak the engineering bootloader for G920I

Rooting S6

Hey guys
I recently acquired my S6 . I was wondering if someone could instruct me on how to root it? I don't mind tripping Knox or voiding warranty. I found rooting instructions but I'm not sure they work on my build and I don't want to mess up my phone. Please assist me in rooting. Build details are in screens hot below

I have the same problem. The current how-to is so outdated that i don't dare to root my phone using that.
And yes those builds complicate things.

same here I wanna root my S6 marshmallow without tripping KNOX

If you don't mind tripping KNOX the root is pretty simple. Just flash this file by Chainfire with Odin and you are done. However you can't root without tripping KNOX.

Does rooting without using a custom ROM trip Knox?

Hey, I want to root my GS6 but i'm not sure if it will trip the Knox counter or not. If I don't use a custom ROM with the root, I just keep using the one that it came with, will KNOX be tripped?

If you are on 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 you have to Trip Knox. I remember there is a engineering Bootloader somewhere which allows you to root without tripping Knox. But not sure about this.

What can I do without tripping Knox?

Wondering what I can do on my S6 that doesn't trip Knox, if anything. Running Android 5.1.1 (just downgraded from 6.0.1).
Would love to be able to run a custom rom like LineageOS and have perm root, but if that requires tripping Knox, its not worth it to me.
