I owned a Samsung Galaxy SIII phone. With one of the OTA updates, Samsung installed Knox and locked the bootloader. While I could still root the phone, this combination resulted in not being able to install a custom recovery or rom.
I'm looking into buying a Samsung tablet (Galaxy Tab A8 or S2), and have read that Samsung still has Knox. Do the current Samsung tablets have the same restrictions as far as custom roms and recovery?

I have an a Samsung Galaxy S5 running 4.4.4. I have already rooted my Galaxy Tab 4 and I'm in love and like to root my phone as well. I am aware that SuperSU will unroot a device, but my question is: when I turn in this S5 in 2 years for credit towards a new phone, will AT&T be able to tell that the device was rooted, even if I have unrooted it before turning it in?
Hi community,
I have two Samsung devices with Samsung stock ROM:
Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F)
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition WiFi (SM-P600)
Can I install Magisk on both devices from Magisk-Manager without flasging TWRP and without triggering KNOX?
You can install Magisk through the Manager if you're already rooted, otherwise you'll need a custom recovery. From what I've seen reported in this forum, I think it'll trip KNOX, but since I don't do Samsung I'm not sure.
I'd go with the assumption that it does until you can confirm otherwise. Check the Samsung forums...
Thanks. If I need root or a custom recovery KNOX ever will be 0x1.
So I think we can close this thread.
I am bored with my tab s2 t710 csc xar kinda and want to do something new.
First I want to install magisk on my non rooted tab s2 Knox warranty void 0x0. So I installed magical manager from there can I install magisk??
Also rooting worth it and will the tab s2 get any more updates??
Plus what are the best custom roms available on tab s2 t710
You should first make a system backup via TWRP in case something goes south!
Also, what do you need root for?
I would like to ROOT my S8 without changing the ROM itself. How can I?
Hello, I have successfully applied extreme syndicate root to my note9, but when I wanted to register for Samsung Pay, I always got stuck at the login screen, also I'm not able to use secure folders. Does anyone have the same problems, or does anyone managed to get them working? Thanks.

With root you lose Samsung Pay and Secure Folder, there is no way you can get them back.. Even if you remove Root and Flash normal firmware Samsung Pay and Secure folder will never ever work!
When you rooted your Note 9, you have blown the Knox Efuse on the motherboard!
True for exynos models, once knox is tripped and they are gone. There is a work around for secure folder and for Samsung pay you'll need a Samsung gear watch.
For snapdragons (seems the OP has one since he is using Extreme Syndicate Root.) He should be okay flashing back the stock firmware. (Or things changed from note 8 to note 9 root?) The knox doesn't get tripped as it seems on exynos models.
Do a search on secure folder you should find a thread on it (maybe on the note 8 forums of xda but it should work for all phones.)
Samsung pay is gone when rooted hopefully the gear watch method still works. Don't have a gear watch then no go on rooted phones! But at least you can return to stock on snapdragons phones and have Spay working.
