No...

On the note 3 forum people have managed to root with a special root and flash firmware with mobile odin v.3.85 without trigging the knox flag.
From what i understand a restore with recovery will still trigger it .

Few questions about rooting this device

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

It's G900A.

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.

[Q] How to flash CWM without tripping KNOX?

Title tells all.

Yo take a look at my post I just did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...shed-twrp-idiotically-p-knox-tripped-t3154743
So far there is no way , and if we do it would then trip knox. Check out the error message I got when I flash twrp.

You can get past KNOX. Look around. I had the same problem you did and I had to re-flash the stock ROM.

KNOX is still tripped @ 0x1 after flashing stock through odin , it should be a 0x0. IS there something I am missing?

you tried to flash a custom recovery which is impossible on the AT&T S6 that's why you tripped Knox

So does flashing stock though odin trip knox? Or is it because he tried to flash a custom recovery

Using Odin to return to stock does not trip Knox.
Flashing or trying to flash a custom recovery will trip Knox.

anyway to disable Knox?

Can TWRP be flashed without tripping KNOX? (Need TWRP only- not trying to root phone)

I'd like to flash TWRP onto my Note 5, but want to be absolutely sure it will NOT trip the KNOX counter. Is this a possibility at all, or does flashing any custom recovery lead to KNOX being tripped?
I am NOT looking to root the phone - I just need TWRP. (I am fully aware that at the moment, all rooting methods will trip the KNOX counter.)
Thanks!
Tom

It will trip Knox.

Thanks for confirming - that's what I figured as well.
I'm guessing that flashing ANYTHING other than the unmodified stock image would result in Knox being tripped...

Flashing other recoveries, kernels, and modified firmware packages will trip Knox.

[Help] Advice on rooting PA2 firmware

I just managed to update to PA2 from OI5, and there is a root method available.
I have two questions:
Can I root my S5(AT&T) without tripping KNOX?
If I do root, can I update to the latest Marshmallow via Odin and keep root?
Can I "debrand" my S5 by flashing a stock S5 firmware via Odin (remove AT&T bloatware and bootlogo)? {http://www.naldotech.com/remove-carrier-branding-galaxy-s5-debranded-firmware/ this link says you can but does not provide a download link}
Thanks.

You can root on OI5 (which means you would have to downgrade). As of now we can't get root on MM in ANY WAY. But, the root for LP doesn't trip Knox.
Refer to my guide in the General section for rooting instructions.
You can't flash a ROM like that with ODIN due to the locked bootloader. You would have to flash using FlashFire.
