Hi, I'm new to the Knox thing so my 2 questions are
1) What is Knox?
2) What harm do I do to my phone if I root and trip the Knox counter?
Thank you for your patience.

2) This is a joke post?
3) Never occurred to you to type "knox" into the search box (top right).

No, I was not kidding. But thanks anyway. I just found out what I needed at the Kingo website. And for your trouble to take the time to answer me if you have a donation button I'll donate to you. Thanks again.

Not sure if this will trip Knox counter or not. I'll let other users here who are more familiar with this particular method chime in.

Chainfire's root method always trips the Knox counter.
Existing thread here
Anyone else try @Chainfire cf-autoroot yet for the SMG920T?
I have tried several times and Odin keeps stopping at NAND Write Start and nothing I try can get it to go past that point.
All thanks to @Chainfire for his amazing work!

I am rooted using CHAIN Fire's CF AUTOROOT - the trick is you have to use the Latest ODIN - 3.10.6 I think - here is a link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613
Donf use the ODIN that comes with CF Auto Root unless he has updated it to the one I have linked to here. THis is the only one that works that I know of.
GOOD LUCK

Trying it out now. Will let you know. The cf-autoroot I downloaded came with 3.07. When that didn't work, I tried 3.09, so now it's onto 3.10...

Worked great. Have another question...
An app: com.T-Mobile.PR.adapt
Is requesting SuperSU access. I can't find anything on this app. Are you familiar with it? It only asks at boot. I went in and told it to forget it and haven't heard from it since.

I saw that too but I didn't know what it was and wasn't sure what would happen if I didn't accept it - so I did - maybe I should forget it? What could it be?
I haven't figured it out yet. I denied it until I know what it is. Also has to manually freeze and remove all the Knox crap, SuperSU didn't ask me to disable it...
If we root, will Knox be tripped if we don't install it?

Yes, it will trip your Knox counter.
That brings me to a question I had, hopefully @Chainfire can answer. ..
After root, supersu didn't ask me to deactivate Knox; why? is it safe to go and freeze or remove all the Knox crap?
Unfortunately I'm waiting until I hear more information on Knox in regards to Samsung Pay. I know Chainfire and others mentioned the possibility of it needing an un-tripped counter, but until we know for sure I'm staying un-rooted (which is killing me).

As was mentioned in the cf autoroot thread in the main galaxy s6 forum... You haven't had Samsung pay so far, so if you don't get it with root, you won't be missing anything you had...

If you search on it - you will find another thread. It seems to be a T-Mobile security app (At least that's what the other users think). I do not know what it is but they recommend....
Do not give it access and freeze it with TB.

I think he was saying the logic of 'you never had it, therefore you won't miss it if you don't get it' was stupid. Whereas you were being a little more gracious saying it was 'interesting' logic. In all honesty, it is a ridiculous argument. Of course you will 'miss' features that the phone should include if you lose them due to root. Even if you would not have used the feature, it still is a missing feature, just one you personally do not care about.

Root after Update?
I received the S6 two days ago. It came with Android Ver. 5.0.2 and there was an update available as soon as I activated the phone. I have not yet taken it. Has anyone taken this update and then rooted successfully?
Hey All,
I've spent days now scouring the web looking for anyone and anything to root my G920A running G920AUCU3CPD6 (Marshmallow 6.0.1). There is absolutely nothing I could find. I have queried just about every method, and I have several emails out to various developers, sw companies, etc., but nothing yet. Is there anyone out there who can help?

No.
Jeez
Wow what a blunt reply. Anyway I have also been probing the far corners of the clearweb for a root on this device. No luck. PingPong root doesn't support it, SRSRoot says that it rooted the phone, but it doesn't actually work. I'm not going to try to flash a rom with odin cause i need to keep the data on it. Lmk if you find anything out. Peace.
I believe the next logical step would be to try reverse-engineering parts of the new kernel and look for exploitable bugs, rather than looking for work done on the subject by other individuals and attempting to classify them as the same thing.

I don't care about the data, since I lost it already anyways. I would be willing to flash via odin, but didn't find anything useful. Sounds like you may have?

I wouldn't even know where to begin with that, bit outside my technical expertise. Is it something you are familiar with? Or can you point me in the right direction?
Can I downgrade from the PD6 OTA? I am running 100% official. I see there are no tools for rooting 6.0.1, but can I odin down to a version of 5.1.1 that I can root? It's been a while since I have done that, and IIRC sometimes it's impossible to downgrade once you have upgraded. I don't care about Knox or Samsung Pay, losing those is fine.
Thread jacked! Haha
I heard you can, man. Check that 'Root 5.1.1 with a snag' thread that Metalcated started.
I think somebody mentioned you can. Usually you can't - you're right - but I don't think this bootloader was enforcing it. Worse comes to worst it'll just fail to ODIN it and you're stuck. No real risk of bricking. :good:

I mean, a good hex editor would be a start.
Maybe like IDA Pro? I love IDA :3
You could probably scope out some good Android disassembly tools if you look.
Maybe checking the AOSP code itself?
Maybe look into the Android system images that you can download with the SDK?
Not sure. A bit out of mine too, but definitely an area of interest.

Will be trying this on my G920A soon. (PD6)
Short answer: No.
Long answer: it's not public yet. I saw many people in other forums talking about a private method that allows them to root G920A 6.0.1 and untethered (unlike the one we have right now for 5.1.1). I do not have the files and I don't know if it's going to be released to the public. I hope one of the insiders leaks it soon because I don't wanna upgrade to 6.0.1 without root.

Thanks for your development and the support of this community with Dirtycow.
To clarify, are you seeing any exploits that could be leveraged in order to root and it will take more time for development, or is it just out of the question?

Blu has changed preloader since v6.6. no access to preloader from sptf, so no flashing, no root
Thanks mrmazak,
Anytime sooner will there be root ?
No, there will not be root. The security holes have been plugged. The tools used to modify the phones have been blocked.
If you installed a recent over-the-air update, you are out of luck - no recovery, no flashing, no rooting. Period. End of story. Done.
Never accept an over-the-air update for a phone that you want to root or modify.

Wow **** blu.
Guess I'll just return it, you know, cause **** sales too!
Sorry, I am new to rooting with many of my phones and I am getting very frustrated at how many developers patch the root. I used to think Android was friendlier for root than iOS is for jailbreaking, don't think so anymore.
Is there a root friendly list of phones new you have on this forum up-to-date?
Sort of hard to buy a phone requesting from the seller to have the "right version" on it. Ex.) blu phone prior to v6.6.
Thanks.

If you have custom recovery , then yes. The dirty cow part is only needed to allow bootloader unlock. So once it's unlocked and you have recovery , should be no problem to root
Trash talk lol, nothing is impossible just that you can't do it simple!.
