I have a samsung galaxy s6 thats on the way from boost mobile but when I get it I want to have at least some root but without tripping knox or voiding my warranty. I want to get a new rom , get root access on my phone, keep my carrier and samsung updates coming, install a custom recovery, use xposed framework, and have a way to get all android updates up until the next version after android 8.x. Is there a way to make this happen.
You can't.

hello people of XDA devs
this question has probably been asked before on the threads but im new to forums so im not really familiar on how things works here.
just a question though, i am planning to root my samsung galaxy s5.
i know im going to be tripping my knox counter but my question is will i get OTA updates still if my knox has been tripped?
i want rooting for xposed framework, lucky patch, busybox and for nandroid recoveries

You will need to flash back stock recovery in order to get ota updates.
Why do you need to trip knox??
you can root the S5 without tripping Knox!!

Even with the latest os 5.0?
I used to have an s4 and back then no one has found out a way to root it without tripping Knox and I'm not going to flash any custom rom. I just want the xposed framework and lucky patcher

You can flash back to kitkat and then upgrade with flashfire to stock rooted lollipop.

Really, and how is that done. I have an S5 on AT&T running 5.0, phone was replaced through warranty for a newer version of the S5.
Towelroot didn't even work on my phone when it was on 4.4.2 through 4.4.4
So if there is any that you know how to root my phone, please let me know because I've been looking for a working root since I obtained the phone.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I want to root to get full functionality from the device. I have read several root guides but they seem to be very old. Things like Towelroot I have read doesn't work anymore.
So if someone can give me a link or post and effective and up to date guide for rooting would be great.
I also have a few questions about rooting.
1. I have heard that some roots trip Samsung Knox so I need a root that wont do this
2. What does the Knox flag 0x1 actually do to the device other than void warrenty? I have heard it permanently disables Samsung services for the phone/tablet like Kies and adds warnings to the boot screen, but I don't know if this is true.
3. I want to get Android updates for security and such, will a small update cause unroot? (I will also upgrade to Android 6.0 if/when its available for the S5 and I know upgrade will unroot)
If there is a chance of tripping Knox I will not root. I also want to be able to return the phone back to exact stock software, settings and flags as before it was rooted if I choose to.

Don't root!!
I've got the same problem as you brother. I've got the same phone specs. I think we are out of luck right now. Attempting anything is probably a really bad idea.
But I second this call for help, I'm curious to know if there is anything that can be done.
@Woogoo as of now you can't root the AT&T S5 latest OS so don't try...
Hey, i got my samsung galaxy s6 new but its on 5.1.1, dont know why i though it will be on 5.0.2 but it is on 5.1.1 :crying:
Is there anyway to root my s6 without trip knox?? I dont want to loose my fingerprint scanner but i really want to root, is there any way???
The modelnumber is SM-G920F and the android version is 5.1.1 and my my basebandversion is G920FXXU3COI9
no sorry not as yet
You will not loose the fingerprint scanner if you root, only Samsung Pay and a few other apps require knox.
In the q&a from the pingpong root thread there is written:
Q: How to root 5.1.1 then since PingPong root will never work?
WARNING: User report that fingerprint sensor and incoming call stop working after using the engineering sboot.
A: The classic recovery root method. You shall find details in many other posts. If you are T-Mobile user, lucky for you that there is a leaked engineering bootloader which make root a piece of cake without tripping Knox warranty bit:

by the way, i have no carrier lock
I know that if you root your device, you trip knox and you can't use samsung pay.
I'm sure someone asked this before but I can't find it:
If I flash back a stock with ODIN, I know my knox will be tripped 0x1 anyway, but as it's official and non-rooted, would I get samsung pay back? or is it linked with knox being tripped?
Thanks.
Samsung Pay only works with Knox 0x0.
When you go back to a official Firmware you cant use Samsung Pay.
Is therer any way to use Samsung Pay on a rooted S6 with Android 7?
May be possible
If you have tripped Knox Counter while rooting. You can never use Samsung Pay I guess. If you have Magisk Root Method If the safetynet feature checks out then. You can probably use Samsung Pay.
I've seen a thread where a guy said it's possible to use Samsung Pay on a rooted S7 by flashing skme sort of stock kernel. Is something like that possible on the S6?
