If u use towelroot on my note 4 will it trip Knox? Has anyone tried?
Towelroot doesn't work. Go to the development section and follow steps for CFroot. It will trip knox though.

Mainly Knox Counter stuff.
1. would rooting trip my knox?
2. would installing such apps like Titanium backup/xposed trip my knox?
3.would installing a custom recovery such as CWM/TWRP trip my knox?
If I read it correctly somewhere. As long as I don't install any custom rom/kernel . My Knox Counter will be okay?

Continue reading. It depends what version you have weather you can optain root. You cannot install cwm or twrp. Must use safestrap or flashfire. Use towel root to root the phone if your version is compatible

Well there only about 5 different stock firmwares that have been released for the G900a. Just cause its a G900a don't mean it can be rooted.

1- It depends of how you root it. If your root does not involve modifying bootloader/recovery/kernel, no. For examples, there are methods where you use towelroot on an older android version, then update the phone with a modifies update file (with no modification to the kernel). That does not trip knox. But if you use something like CF-autoroot that touches your recovery, then yes, you will trip knox.
2- No.
3- Most definitely yes. Any recovery that is not signed by samsung for your phone will trip your knox.
Looking to get an unlocked Tmobile branded S6 (I'm on at&t). What android version/baseband should I be looking for in terms of ease to root/modify?
Any. All trip knox.

Any 5.0.2 and older can be rooted without tripping Knox. 5.1.1 will trip Knox, as well as flashing a custom recovery will trip all versions. If you don't care about that, then it doesn't matter. Just make sure you follow all the steps correctly

I have a custom recovery installed on 5.0.2 without tripping Knox. Its in the General section. I put in some instructions a week ago
Hello everyone. I have a question in regards to rooting my S6. My s6 has version 5.0.2 and the OCG baseband. Should I upgrade to 5.1.1 before I root? I would like to root without tripping the Knox counter. Also, if I were to root without tripping knox, would I have to use this method every time I flash a new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
just update to 5.1.1 and flash unibase kernel, why do you care about knox? it doesnt really matter if you trip it you still have insurance through your carrier, seriously knox is really only there for companies who provide phones to their employees and dont want them to mess with them.

I can understand that, but I would like to keep from tripping my knox counter. Anyways, I just rooted via PingPong successfully. How do I keep from triggering knox now that I am rooted? Can I flash TWRP or any other kind or recovery?? Thanks.
no, if you want to keep from tripping your knox counter you cant really do anyhting. flashing any kind of custom recovery or rom or kernel will trip it, all you can really do is just stay rooted and thats about it

Got ya. Guess I'm tripping knox then. Thanks for your help.
Ping-pong requires no computer, right? And also , is it confirmed working with this tmobile S6? I am on the latest update and have been stalling on root due to having no PC.

Ping pong does not require a pc. As of the other question I have no answer.
I am on of6. Oem unlocking is on and odin will not flash. I use the directions to the T but it stays on nand write start
I remember reading somewhere it was possible to update from rooted 5.0.2 to 5.1 without tripping Knox and using Odin. How do I go about it?
There's a thread in general about it. Do step 1 and 2. You can skip the rest

Same method for the last 3 or 4 updates.
