[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.

New to T Mobile

I left Big Red last week and just received my t mobile phone yesterday. It arrived with G920TUVU3DOI1. I have spent hours pouring through these threads looking for a root solution. Everything seems to either break KNOX or the fingerprinter sensor. Maybe both? I would like bootloader unlocked, but just root would be ok. Is there a solution?

Nope, everything you do will most likely trip knox and void your warranty. The only way to root is to flash unikernal which will void your warranty. Samsung has an efuse which cannot be reset when knox is tripped.

I'm rooted with knox tripped and my Finger Print Sensor works fine..

Unfortunately DO1 and on can't be rooted without tripping Knox

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.

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.

Would TWRP w/o Root trip Knox

My question is simple. Would it trip my Knox if I flash a custom recovery, like TWRP without rooting?
I want to flash some roms to give them a try but I don't want to trip my Knox. Is this possible?

Yes.

You will trip knox if you modify your system.

I think even just unlocking the bootloader to be able to do mods at all, causes the security chip Knox to permanently 0x1 (trip)

Yes? As if yes, it will trip Knox, or yes, it is possible to do it without tripping Knox?
