Root without tripping KNOX would be nice.
Too bad dev for towelroot is with Google now.

Knox, Bootloaders, Samsung Pay, AT&T--- HELP!

I just pre-ordered my ATT S6 and I've got a few questions! I've been spoiled by my Nexus 4/5 when it comes to "openness" so all this Knox business is new to me.
I'm curious what I'm missing out on if I buy the ATT variant or try and get a T-Mobile phone unlocked. I've done enough reading to know that flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox, so I don't want to do that. If I have the Tmobile ver with a clean Knox, can I still install TW roms with Odin? Or do those require a custom recovery as well?
I'm really trying to decide if I should cancel my ATT pre order and try and get a TMobile model instead... but if the TMobile version won't gain me anything (I want to use Samsung Pay) I might as well stick with what I've got..

Well first off the ATT version will likely ship bootloader locked, which in this case you won't be doing anything custom to the phone that could trip knox...locked BL you won't be able to root (till an exploit is found, the current root depends on an unlocked BL and it will trip Knox)..As for TMO it is likely to be unlocked so you can root it, the current method will trip knox, flashing custom recovery will also trip it, and likely you can't reset that counter once its tripped, also if you flash anything in Odin that isnt official Samsung i believe you will trip knox as well (i believe theres a built in consistency/signature check for this) i could be wrong though as its been a while since I flashed anything on Samsung through Odin, I tripped my tmo s5 day one as I didnt care about the knox features.

AT&T = death to development

Does anyone know if tripping Knox will not allow samsung pay to work?.... That's one of the many features I was looking forward to....

Most likely, nobody is going to know until Pay comes out, so figure August or so.

Damn, that's a long time to wait without rooting... Might just hold on to my note 4 for a bit then.... ?

Has anyone tried this?
https://www.androidroot.us.com/how-to-root-samsung-note-5/
Supposedly you can one click root without tripping the Knox. I would love root but I want to try samsung paypay.
Is there another way?
FYI I am on the T-Mobile version.

i ain't gonna trust them.

I don't see where it says "without tripping Knox"?

Snapdragon root back to stock?

Has it been confirmed that anyone can go from a rooted snapdragon S8, back to stock S8 and have working Android Pay/Samsung Pay? I really don't want to use stock, but I don't want to permanently lose 'Pay' features as well, in case of resell or just wanting the feature

If you go from rooted S8 to unrooted, stock, it will still work with android pay, Samsung pay, and all knox apps.

Question Rooting without tripping knox

Hi all,
Is there a way to root the zenfone 8 without tripping knox? Reading about the ramdump issues has made me want to keep the device in a state that I can reverse and send back if need be (at least for a while).
Cheers

Knox in an Asus phone? It's a Samsung thing.

There is no KNOX.
But if you unlock your bootloader - then ASUS will receive your s/n of motherboard and you will loose your warranty permanently. I heard that in some EU countries it should'n be a problem, but personally I have never had such law practice.
So wait for other replies or contact your area ASUS support.

Ah, okay thanks. Am I correct in thinking there is no root that can be done without unlocking bootloader and flashing a patched boot img? Sorry if these are silly questions, it has been a while for me!

That is correct. From what I understand; without an unlocked bootloader, nothing regarding boot images or system files are accessible.

Since Android 6 'regular' rooting requires an unlocked bootloader. There are exploit solutions like Kingoroot, which maybe still might work (not sure a bout this), but the problem with these dubious tools is, that you don't know what they really are doing, and how they possibly modify and monitor your phone and data from then on..
