[Q] Root

I have read several posts for rooting... there is no way to root without tripping knox?

Nope. CF Auto Root is all we have and it does trip Knox.

So we loose warranty.?

This is how you root:

If you have to exchange you Odin back to stock and factory reset.

Some would say yes. But I say no. I had 3 replacements already. All with 0x1, there wasn't any problems.

Snapdragon root back to stock?

Has it been confirmed that anyone can go from a rooted snapdragon S8, back to stock S8 and have working Android Pay/Samsung Pay? I really don't want to use stock, but I don't want to permanently lose 'Pay' features as well, in case of resell or just wanting the feature

If you go from rooted S8 to unrooted, stock, it will still work with android pay, Samsung pay, and all knox apps.

Quickest reply ever! Thanks for the info.

Note 8 has the knox triggered is there a way to reverse it..

knox has been triggered on my phone can i possibly reverse it

No unless you get a new motherboard
You can flash a modded kernel which masks the knox trip for s health but Samsung pay and secure folder is gone forever not coming back
That's what's stopping me from rooting

thats bad

No need to do that, there's a simpler way. Just disable tima in the build.prop. Microsoft apps will work agajn as well if one chooses to use them.
Change ro.config.tima to 0.

Unfortunately it's pretty much always been that way for knox with only a couple of of exceptions.

i have have samsung health up and running ..i want to see if i can use secure folder

Awful KNOX.... Samsung become peoples enemy, not friend!

Is it really true when you trip Knox a small chip on the mobo essentially destroys itself? Thus no way getting back 0x0 status?

What triggers Knox to trip and how does one avoid it? Can the phone be rooted with custom rom without tripping knox?

@Byte_76
That's not possible. Flashing custom binaries will trigger knox, live with it or stay stock.

Flashing TWRP and root will trip Knox on Exynos.
Flashing samfail(root) on snapdragon will not trip Knox. But no TWRP because of locked bootloader.

I have the 950F. So far I have left it stock because I don't want to trip Knox.
I don't care about Samsung Pay because its not available in my country anyway but I don't want to lose any other functionality.

ADB commands Vs Knox and warranty

Hi, there is any ADB command that voids the warranty and the knox?
I want to use the adb commands to add fingerprint gestures, hide the navbar(using fluid gestures)
Some of these commands does void the warranty/knox?
Thanks in Advance

Adb command alone won't void warranty/knox.
Even if u unlock bootloader, as long didn't flash custom recovery/boot img/root, knox will stay untouched.
Correct me if I'm wrong

If you have Exynos version you can't root WITHOUT voiding KNOX...

Unlocking the bootloader WILL trip Knox.

So, none of the adb commands can void the knox? I can use them normally?

Technically turning on oem unlock only, which will factory reset won't trip knox.
Knox will be tripped once flash recovery or something like that, and of course will need unlocked bootloader for that.

Can you prove that unlocking the bootloader doesn't trip Knox? Everything I've read says as soon as you unlock it, Knox is toast. Why anyone would just unlock the bootloader I don't know.

debloat and KNOX?

I want to maintain my knox for warranty purposes.
It seems like it's safe to debloat with the ADB method and not trip knox? I want ot confirm before I do this.

Its safe because adb only disables them not deletes them.
