Re-root with Kingo then unroot with SuperSU. (Full unroot in the settings menu) After you restart the padlock should be gone. You may need to restart a second time so the system can switch back to Official status. I've done it twice now and it worked both times.

Download Wanam Xposed from the market. There's a hack in there to prevent the dreaded padlock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
Yup wanam solves it easily. First get Xposed framework, then install wanam, then in the security hack section in wanam, choose fake system status, reboot.

What IF they do a factory reset on the phone.....will this not just wipe the wanam exposed settings and BAM!!! the padlock will back and look even more like you messed up your phone?
i got my exchanged and had this same problem, they went through the phone scrupulously trying to find something that pointed to me tampering. they attempted to do a factory reset but with the state that i left my phone they could not even attempt that. but they tried, which will make your solution a Big Hell No once the reset brings that padlock back....they wont even talk to you anymore.

how did you reboot your phone? you have to use wanam's reboot option to do so, just so wanam can update things to the system. if you reboot by other means, especially by holding the power bottom and select reboot, it won't get ride of the pad lock.
We'll that explains it. In the mean time stupid AT&T updated my phone when I wasn't looking. I am now put to MJ5. I guess I can try to root with kingo.
Edessa Kingo will root MJ5. Im on MJ5 and rooted with Kingo. You may have to run program 5to6 times but it works

I got it to work by rooting and deleting busybox from system/bin and system/xbin. Which survives even after a factory reset. Was able to exchange the phone no problem after using full unroot from within SuPro. No padlock.

Rooted my AT&T Note 3 with Kingo - great - easy.
Trying to get rid of the *Custom* sign and lock at the boot screen.
Installed XposedInstaller and WANAM to make it show Official Status instead of Custom.
Went into WANAM security hacks tab and checked for taking off Custom.
Rebooted as instructed.
Doesn't work.
Any ideas / workarounds ?

Yeah, it's odd. Doesn't work for me either. Even after multiple reboots. I'd love for someone to chime in for more details. I know this has been talked about somewhere, but the only answer I remember was selecting fake official status in Wanam and reboot a few times after that. After many reboots, it's still CUSTOM, but Knox and everything is 0x0. Thanks.

That's really weird, because this worked fine for me. I didn't do anything differently though, are you sure you have Wanam enabled in the Xposed Framework? After you download a module you usually have to enable it. I would try unchecking and checking, rebooting in-between.
It's true. You have to enable that module within the Xposed App. Try a total shut down and not just a reboot as well.
Pull your battery. After that, the icon will go away. You also need to go look at your About Phone and see system status. Make sure it shows Official (It should). Good Luck and let us know....
When I removed the "Custom" icon from startup screen, it took more than one reboot cycle to go away.
The first reboot after applying the setting, there was still the "Custom" and unlocked lock. I thought nothing of it, since I didn't really care... But at some point after that, with no further action in Wanam, the "Custom" stopped showing on reboot.
I rooted again with the same method and custom miraculously vanished.

Hello,
I was rooted on 4.3 with Kingo. I never used the ISIS app before. But after I did the upgrade OTA to 4.4 I of course lost root. But the app is still saying i'm rooted..? Is this some kind of flag that it detected that I have been rooted before? I did some searching on how to enable it but I need root access again lol
Thank you,

You still have the superuser app installed probably because you didn't unroot before the update and it can't be uninstalled till we get root

resetting wont fix it only way is to reroot then unroot to remove superuser so your stuck till we get root on 4.4.2
The only thing you can do is go to the Samsung Experience at Best Buy and ask them to flash the 4.4.2 ROM over what you have now, do a few factory resets after that and the Custom issue will resolve itself.
Same here, was hoping to find a solution. Want that $50

Hi everyone.
I'm no-one special, but I have rooted several phones. I usually wait till the ability to revert or not trip a counter (knox in this case, but most stock bootloaders have one these days afaik ). I had some spare time and have been researching for the last few hours getting my facts straight before I attempted anything. I now have root.
I'm only writing this because it wasn't too clear on the forums about rooting without tripping knox, even after some searching and reading the stickies.
I have just rooted my S5 (SM-G900F). I can confirm that the knox counter isnt tripped using a samsung phone info app i found (also double checked in dl mode).
before we start, heres some notes:
- So as far as I understand, towelroot works on more than just the SM-G900F but i suggest you check first.
- Using odin will add to your counter if you flash anything other than stock with it afaik. This was the same for me on the S3 but I had triangle away.
- Installing a custom recovery via odin will add to the knox counter obviously.
- Installing a custom recovery via another method might trip knox.
- Flashing a custom ROM will add to the counter. (couldnt anyway without custom recovery)
- Boot into download mode using VOLDOWN, HOME, POWER and click continue (i suggest un-plugging it) this will show u the counter.
- Quick view the counter with this app: Phone INFO Samsung
-With root access it might be possible to do something that will trip knox, even with it "disabled" by supersu. be careful. :angel:
- apparently if you trip knox, you cannot update the radio. quote from alan shore
- OTA updates will probably remove root
- Most places, if you trip the counter, your warranty is void.
- you can fix s health issuses caused by xposed by editing the build.prop (not sure how same that is with knox)
Heres how I did it:
(0. I actually did a OTA and security policy update check before attempting this.)
1. disable security policy updates (security) and automatic updates (about) in the settings. This is just in case. Updates might remove your root.
2. Download tr.apk from towelroot.com/ by clicking the icon. Please note that when i did this Avast AV flagged it up, which i then disabled and re-downloaded the file. Use at your own risk. I had no problems...
3. Enable Unknown Sources (settings->security), copy the apk to your sdcard install. I again got a flag from avast... i clicked ignore
4. Run it. Might take a little while...
5. Install SuperSU from the market.
6. Run super su and let it install the su binaries.
7. Depending on what you want root for, you may wish to disable knox using super su (i intend to use xposed so i did). When I attempted to let it disable knox, it failed. As it instructed, I rebooted and ran it again... all done.
Now I installed root checker and titanium backup and had a play. root works. I rebooted and checked download mode, knox counter : 0x0 root is still there after reboot. all done! Make sure you have read and understand the notes before you go off using root.
I hold no responsibility for any damage or loss of data.
I do not claim to have made anything. a big thanks to all the respective contributing devs, esp chainfire for his never ending development for android, and geohot creator of towelroot for making it all possible.
If you have errors and questions the original thread for towelroot is below:

They should just give you a 'superuser' right for you to be able to modify the system files, etc.

No this doesn't wipe anything, it just allows things to run with elevated permissions(root apps).

Its not much of a problem, but install xposed installer from the internet, then download wanam xposed within the app/play store. Restart phone after activating the module on from installer. Go to security hacks and click "Fake System Status". Restart phone. Voila! You won't see that problem any time soon after that.

I've tried installing Xposed several times now with no luck. I install in TWRP, reboot, and then my phone sits on a black screen with the blue light for forever until it goes to the Sprint LTE logo and then just stops there. I end up having to shut my phone down (which won't happen unless it's plugged in to charge), go back into TWRP, and then use the Xposed uninstaller. Then when I reboot, everything loads back up perfectly. I don't really know what's causing this? I apologize as I'm kind of a noob to rooting & such.
I have a Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920P on Android 6.0.1. Any advice?
(The only reason I really wanted to get Xposed is so I could install a module to bypass the root status for Snapchat...lol)

Maybe remove Xposed, then unroot, root systemless(at least SR2), root switch, then turn off root and login. Once logged in turn root back on and install Xposed. Should work

Maybe remove Xposed, then unroot, root systemless(at least SR2), root switch, then turn off root and login. Once logged in turn root back on and install Xposed. Should work

I'll try that. I flashed from Odin to wipe everything off and Snapchat works, but I don't have TWRP anymore. Even without Xposed and root, even when I JUST had TWRP, Snapchat wouldn't let me log in. But I'll try what you told me and hope it works

So after a bunch of trouble with my phone, I'm left with what I can only assume are leftover files of Xposed that I didn't get off my phone when I flashed the uninstall file. I'm not rooted and only have TWRP, but Snapchat still refuses to let me login.

Maybe do a factory reset to clear those out and see if snapchat will work

I ran the uninstaller for Xposed again and it seems to have wiped the rest of the files because snapchat now lets me login. Now time to follow the instructions you gave me before w/ systemless rooting my NAND is backed up too just in case I screw up again.
