Hi,
I am considering to buy a S5 mini - but I would like to use custom ROMs and root. Now I read that the S5 useses KNOX and that there is also a KNOX-counter (seems to be 2 different things).
Is there a way to get root without changing the KNOX-counter?
And - is there also a way to get a custom recovery without changing the KNOX-counter?
(this are 2 different questions and I would love to get an answer for both seperately ...)
It seems like there is no method to get the KNOX counter back from 0x1 but there seems to be a method to get - at least root - without changing the KNOX-counter.
I had been searching around quite a bit but could not really find a definitve answer - plus: I am not a native speaker but consider my english as quite good - but the phrase: "trip KNOX-counter" which is often used in this context (e. g. here) confuses me (checking trip in a dictionary gives you just some funny results) - I assume it means the counter is changed (i. e. ++1)?
regards
at this moment there is no way to get the s5 flashed without void break in the KNOX-counter.

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I assume that applies to recovery and root? And I also assume that we both are talking about the S5 mini?

ofcourse s5 mini, and yea, flashin a root kernel and custom recovery will touch the knox counter
Kingroot seems to not trigger Knox on the mobiles i have tried(S3 and S4-I9505 and S4-I9506) and (LG Leon), atm i am waiting for s5 mini to arrive and i will test it.
I got a trick to flash recovery without knox counter trip on the other mobiles too which i will try on s5 mini also, i will report back tommorow or the day after.
Try Kingroot at your own risk as always, through it is only root and not recovery too.

I tried latest Kingroot (4.9.3 as of yesterday from apkmirror.com) and no deal (G800H latest ZTO 5.1.1 version, BPE1 basebabd)... If you're successful with your other method, please post. Thank you.

I wrote before: G800H.
I think the list of supported phones lists G800 for the stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM only, it doesn't work on 5.1.1.
sm-g800f kingroot works without trip knox, my knox is still 0x0, but i cannot get recovery on the same way as the older galaxy with Rashr or Flashify.
At the end as second handy I got a samsung s5 mini allready free sim (on other post I was asking if there was a way to unlockit but it seams is hard to do it) so now I will just make different questions then I iwll search on this forum just to don't go OT:
1) I'm planing to root my s5 mini (I downgrade it to kitkat 4.2.2 any suggest a "good"/quick way to root
it?
2) I neade a "good" app to finde/enter wifi routers (that why i neade root I have seen a few on the forum but I dont realy know witch cipset haves my s5 mini
3) Out the box of mu samsung 5 mini is written :" European SIM card only" there is a way to unlockit (maybe with a "secret code" or similar to unlockit so that will work olso with sim card non only Eurepean?
4) Last question..just doing root there is a good application that can upgarde the wifi rx and tx of the samsung s5 mini (so will help olso useing the application for getting access to wifi routers?
Thank's
Helen
I don't know much about G800F, but if you're on 4.4.2 (I don't think there is 4.2.2 for S5 mini), then probably Kingroot can root it. You can find a thread here in XDA.

First answer of my question.."first Thank's"
Let we see the other questions
Take Care Helen
Hey Guys.
First...
Thanks for this mass of knowledge, support and time you are spending to all of us.
I tested 6.0.1 on my old Galaxy S1 I9000 and yeah I like it but I'm so in love with the 5.1.1, so I want to downgrade to this version. Is it possible to do this on the "ordinary" way via TWRP or do I have to achieve this goal on another way? I don't want to brick this old lady. She always had been so good to me. :laugh:
Thanks
