I re-rooted with kingo after the update. Knox is still fine. Some users report that newer versions of kingo don't work. I used ver1.8 and it was flawless.
Does anyone think that we will see native root for Lollipop? I really don't want to odin back to 4.4.2 and the development on Lollipop ROMS are going to be awesome once we get a serious root solution! What do you guys think about seeing this in the near future?
I'm sure we will see root for Lollypop but I doubt without tripping Knox.
Tripping Knox doesn't matter to me. My warranty is up anyways
I'm running rooted 5.0 right now - Thank You @Walter.White
Going back to nc2 wasn't that big of an issue.
Hi Experts,
I am plannign on rooting my SM-G925T butu I have a couple of questions before I continue, I have an out of the box version and not updated yet as far as I know, it is currently on 5.0.2. I see a guide to Root but it is for 5.11.
- Is it better to update my phone first before rooting as the guide I saw for rooting without tripping knox is for 5.11.
Thats all my question for today, I may think of something else later though.
Thanks
You can root 5.1.1 without tripping Knox, but that means your fingerprint scanner will be rendered useless.
Personally, I stayed on 5.0.2, rooted with PingPongRoot and flashed a debloated ROM using FlashFire — all with Knox still intact.
If you want to root without tripping knox and have functioning fingerprint reader, stay on 5.0.2 and root using ping pong as stated by above poster

Thank you both for your response, I would stay with 5.0.2 then.
OK guys I have a question that I am not sure is the right thread but I need to SIM unlock my phone. The only ways currently out needs the phone to be rooted. I have a question of a plan I have and wondering if you guys would know if it works?
I plan to do what you said above and root 5.0.2
Get the phone unlocked.
Then flash the stock rom and get rid of root.
And then upgrade to 5.1.1.
Do you guys happen to know if this will work without messing with my fingerprint reader? Thanks!

It won't, but you may lose the unlock depending what method you use

FYI, this worked completely perfect. Used Ping Pong to root, unlocked and then flashed stock 5.1 and still unlocked
How do I root 5.1.1 DOI1 without tripping knox? I'm aware Samsung pay and fprint scanner are gone but I have a question.....If I decide to unroot and flash back to stock (with knocks untripped, hopefully) is it possible that Samsung pay and fprint scanner should work as a result?

You cannot root 5.1.1 DOI1 without tripping Knox since Samsung updated the bootloader and we don't have an engineering bootloader for it. If you were on 5.1.1 COF6/8, you could still use the engineering bootloader while sacrificing the fingerprint scanner and Samsung Pay. As long as you don't trip Knox or use a custom recovery, you can still use Samsung Pay after flashing back to stock.
So who ever is on 5.1.1 DOI1 non rooted stock(brand new phone) and attempt to flash custom rom ,root phone etc will not be able to revert to stock (like from the box) and will lose SamPay and Fingerprint scanner?
In case we root, we will Tripp Knox and disable Fingerprint scanner?

Only trip knox, which yes it will make samsung pay useless, and you cannot reset knox

How about Chainfire root without modifying system? Did anyone tried this?Maybe there is still hope for us?

Can you share what debloated ROM you used? I can't tell how to know if a rom works with FlashFire. I am still on 5.0.2, rooted, but still stock. I would like to try some more roms.

I'm using Looper 2.0. There really aren't that many options for those still on 5.0.2; it seems like the only other one is XtreStoLite. You may have more luck in the Unified Development forums, though I'm not sure if you'll be able to take advantage of T-Mobile specific features (like WiFi calling) on 'universal' ROMs.
I almost forgot to add: it's absolutely essential that you remove the boot.img from any ZIP before flashing or else you'll end up tripping Knox.
I was already looking at XtreStoLite. Do you know if its Aroma installer options work with FlashFire?
Im on this version of 5.1.1. and looking to root. I don't care about knox. I only care about the fingerprint scanner which I am under the impression only gets disabled with that developer bootloader used for not tripping knox. Anyways I flashed a version of TWRP which worked but wouldn't let my phone boot. Itd get stuck on the Samsung screen (not bootloop). I got the recovery is not seandroid enforcing message. I managed to get back to stock after that but Can someone point me into the right direction for which TWRP or CWM I should flash and or kernel after that. I just want to get a rom on this thing. Might as well since ive already tripped Knox.
Hello everyone, there is any way to get root on stock MM rom?
To get root on a stock MM build is very difficult and one of the methods requires unlocking your bootloader, which breaks many of the features of your phone, starting with the camera.
I think it would be easier to follow bilboa1's great guide , downgrade the rom to an older firmware, root that, add recovery, then flash a pre-rooted MM build. That way you will have a rooted MM build without all the agro of unlocking your bootloader.
But MM hasn't been out very long for the Z3c, it may not be as amazing as you expect, if you read all the threads, it's still full of bugs and issues. I would wait a few weeks for Sony to roll out the next patch, then it might be worth flashing.
Thanks for your reply
A little piece of advice before you start: think really hard if you are going to need to do things that require an unrooted phone. I went through all the process to root my phone and it was nice when it was rooted, but then I wanted to watch TV and the app for that detected root, so I had to unroot which was a pain too... all in all: rooted Z3C is very nice, but the process is a pain, so be sure!
Hi,
In the future I would like to root my Note 8 and be able to undo root in case of problem.
I kepp receiving updates from Samsung that contain absolutely nothing in the changelog. I understand some of the updates contain rooting blockers.
Which update should I ignore if I want to safely root and unroot?
You can never know when and what update Samsung will push and how it will affect possibility of rooting. You can only research and write in the forum after the update release to ask the other users if rooting is still possible after the update.
If you root its better to disable auto updates.
Rooted my Note 8 SM-N950F with Magisk 16.7 with the latest Oreo firmware CRG1. You won't get OTA's after rooting anyway.
