I have just bought an S6, finally moving from LG G3 (where things were simpler to root).
I have spent a few hours reading about the possibilities of rooting, flashing whilst not tripping Knox and have a few queries regarding some of the procedures.
I am lucky enough to be on 5.0.2 (G920FXXU1AOCV) which is supported by PingPong root method and Kingroot. I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow without tripping Knox and therefore keeping my warranty.
I am just querying the steps required to do this, I am of the understanding that these are the steps:
1. Root with PingPong
2. Flash TWRP via Odin/Flashfire
3. Flash whichever marshmallow related rom, kernel, mods, xposed framework etc I desire through TWRP (or is Odin/flashfire the only method that doesn't trip Knox)?
Will root remain after flashing marshmallow?
Will I need to change the bootloader at all?
before flashing a marshmallow rom, you have to get the latest bootloader. i don't know if there is another way than flashing it through odin. using this method you lose your root.
also, if you install a different kernel, it's most likely to lose root too.
and with xposed, you need a deodexed firmware at the moment. it's recommended to install a deodexed rom with a clean install. i think, you'll lose root, too.
If you flash TWRP or custom kernel via any method (TWRP, Flashfire, Odin vs), knox will be tripped.
There's NO way to use 6.0.1&root without tripping Knox.

Hi guys, tomorrow i will get my new Galaxy S6 (920F)
I know the PingPong root to get root without tripping knox and FlashFire will also let me flash custom roms without the KNOX being affected.
But i cant find a debloated rom without Aroma (unsupported by flashfire)
Can you please help me?
Even a clean stock international ROM that doesn't trip knox and can be rooted with pingpong root would be ok
same question! :good:
As the title says, is there a way to flash custom Recovery TWRP and install custom ROMs via that without tripping the KNOX counter? Thanks
Search and you will find the answer is NO
I've read some methods like the kingo method and the chainfire method, but I don't know really.
Sorry for the 8 year late post
This has been covered somewhere i'm sure, but i just want to check with my specifics. feel free to link me to a better place.
for now I'm referring to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/flash-tw-custom-rom-tripping-knox-t2892774
--I just successfully rooted via towelroot (by downgrading from 5.0 to 4.4.2) without tripping knox. Did superSU really "disable knox?"
--I want a 5.0 ROM, which has to be touchwiz (yuck!) because sprint requires occasional PRL updates to use their towers. so I'm looking a MOAR ROM
--In the past i've simply flashed twrp or philz recovery and been able to flash any ROM with ease, but now i hear any custom recovery trips Knox
--dev. rompnit says"You MUST be on the OA6 5.0 firmware to run this ROM!"
So my questions are:
1. has anybody heard of a way to flash a recovery (keeping 0x0)?
2. Will knox catch me if i simply Mobile Odin Pro to Stock 5.0 and MOP flash MOAR?
3. Step 23 of the above link says after flashing NeatROM he needed to "Extract and flash MODEM (load as CP) and BOOTLOADER (load as BL) in ONE STEP" Which are the correct ones for a sprint s5? I thought flashing a bootloader will trip knox?
anybody for a petition against the hoops big brother makes us jump through?
Any news?
Hello i have 920I with android 5.0.2 rooted with pingpong root and knox not tripped.
I want to update to 5.1.1 using smartswitch, and then rooting the stock rom.
Is there a procedure on how to do this as i have been confused because each thread gives a different method.
Also would i need to flash new bootloaders modems etc... after the update.
If someone can tell me or link me the best way to get a clean install of official 5.1.1 rom and root it.
Thank you

No, the update with have the latest bootloaders etc...
I have not done it because I don't want a custom kernel on my phone. I am not aware of way to do it without tripping knox.
I have Galaxy S6 running 5.1.1 stock rom.
The only reason I need root so xposed could be installed. What is the best way to root and install recovery without loosing any data?
Not worried about tripping knox etc.
Thanks
