can i update without losing root?

topic. thanks!

No. Not by accepting an OTA update. You'll have to update and re root.

what about getting rid of the update notification? is it possible to get rid of it?

Yes you can. Install ota rootkeeper from playstore.

I don't even get the update when I check since it has been modified in an "unauthorized way"

You can update via odin. Not through an OTA. Root has still not been written for 5.1.1, so if you want to keep root, don't update.

Dont Update!!!!!!! Not only do you lose root BUT you also lose your unlocked bootloader and you cant flash custom recoveries anymore until someone comes up with a method and you can't downgrade.

The bootloader is still unlocked. It's custom recoveries like TWRP that need to be updated to work in conjunction with the new bootloader. That's all.

What root method should I use??

Hello everyone. I have a question in regards to rooting my S6. My s6 has version 5.0.2 and the OCG baseband. Should I upgrade to 5.1.1 before I root? I would like to root without tripping the Knox counter. Also, if I were to root without tripping knox, would I have to use this method every time I flash a new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just update to 5.1.1 and flash unibase kernel, why do you care about knox? it doesnt really matter if you trip it you still have insurance through your carrier, seriously knox is really only there for companies who provide phones to their employees and dont want them to mess with them.

I can understand that, but I would like to keep from tripping my knox counter. Anyways, I just rooted via PingPong successfully. How do I keep from triggering knox now that I am rooted? Can I flash TWRP or any other kind or recovery?? Thanks.

no, if you want to keep from tripping your knox counter you cant really do anyhting. flashing any kind of custom recovery or rom or kernel will trip it, all you can really do is just stay rooted and thats about it

Got ya. Guess I'm tripping knox then. Thanks for your help.

Ping-pong requires no computer, right? And also , is it confirmed working with this tmobile S6? I am on the latest update and have been stalling on root due to having no PC.

Ping pong does not require a pc. As of the other question I have no answer.

I am on of6. Oem unlocking is on and odin will not flash. I use the directions to the T but it stays on nand write start

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.

[Q] Is it possible to return stock without loosing root?

Hi everyvody. I need to return stock rom, from computerfreek130. I am rooted by sunshine.
Is this possible? How? Will i loose the root?

You are not rooted by sunshine. Your bootloader is unlocked by sunshine. And no, you will not lose it.
Now, will you lose root if you flash back to stock? Yes. But if you want it again, all you have to do is flash SuperSU after you flash the stock rom.

Just do NOT re-lock your bootloader.

Also, regarding your question of how to go back to stock, flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-44-100-stock-t3320815
I highly recommend wiping your data in TWRP afterwards, but it's not strictly necessary.

Sorry my mistake. I would like to say "unlocked" and not "rooted".

thank you very much. It is all ok

How easy to trip knox

Hi guys I had thes8 plus and first thing I did was root and flash custom Rom when it come to selling it to get the note 8 I hated how many apps where still broken from tripping knox
My question is I don't want to trip knox again on my note 8 but how easy is it to trip knox?
Can any apps from app store trip it by mistake or using adb to say go to full immersive mode?
Or a couple off modded apps like YouTube modded?
Thanks

The only thing that will trip knox is flashing a custom recovery - which is required to root.
Don't root and you will be fine.
no apps can trip knox
adb wont either

You can use Odin without tripping Knox, you can flash other Samsung firmware and it won't be tripped just don't Odin a custom recovery.

Kind of you could still flash stock firmware fine if you needed to recover from a soft brick of some sort.
But yeah apart from that just stay away from it

It has the recovery needed to root (trip Knox) and has instructions on how to flash it. Does not get any more straight forward than this.
