How can i downgrade to free-knox rom as no rom with knox support Arabic yet and I want to sell the device with Arabic language and without rooting it as it still in warranty , thanks in advance .
I don't think it's possible to downgrade from a knox rom. I tried it and I hard bricked it. It's not possible to downgrade even from a nonknox rom to a Nonknox rom.

If your phone is KNOX enabled and you attempt to downgrade then you lose warranty because the knox will set to 0x1 forever.

Hello I just wanted everyone to know that I found a root program for our SM-G900T on Android 4.4.2 it says its for Verizon Wireless version but I have been using this for a few months now without any problems. The program is called Towelroot and can be found at https://towelroot.com/

I am sure you are right as my friend who is on the Verizon Wireless, and he updated his phone and he lost his root, I will upload a screen shot of my version.
but if you really want to root without tripping knox you can downgrade your firmware to any rom prior to the June update then root with towel root and now you can upgrade with mobile odin to any later roms while keeping root during the mobile odin flash.
however you can't have any custom recovery without tripping knox.

^^ What he said.
The bootloader is not locked. You can downgrade to any stock firmware and flash whatever stock firmware you want. Anything that NOT stock will trip your knox counter warranty status.
I rooted and flat-out deleted all knox apps in the system folder. I have no idea if that tripped my knox counter, I am figuring my knox counter was tripped because I went ahead and flashed TWRP recovery. Removing the Knox apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app are no big deal.

so flash a firmware <june 2014 with odin, root with towel root, then flash newest with odin?
which firmwares are <june 2014?
When you start the mobile odin it specifically says using mobile odin on this divice will trip the knox counter there is no recovery from this. lol so downloaded the ne6 rom flashed with odin and root with towel root. all good now

What'd you use to flash to a earlier stock firmware? Flashify or Flashboot?
I understand that rooting trips it, but if you flash back a stock firmware, does that untrip it? or is it forever tripped?
tripped for good

Probably talking about the PingPong Tool, link here : http://www.xda-developers.com/pingpong-tool-roots-your-galaxy-s6-without-tripping-knox/
CAUTION : This is not available yet for the S6 EDGE. Only for the standard s6...
There is support for the S6 Edge. I have a Verizon S6 Edge that I rooted this morning with PingPong.

So will it void warranty ?
And what about otas?
OTA will only work after root is removed, which can be done by flashing a stock FW via odin (there's a simpler way as well, I think - flashing certain partitions only).
Knox bit is not set, thus warranty is NOT void.
Cheers.
Will Flashing via Odin erase the data? or not always??
Also, I think unrooting can be done also via Smart Switch isn't it? (again, what about the data in that case?)

There is a bit on the processor (using eFuse tech) that can be permanently set by the firmware. Samsung uses this bit for it's Knox tech. Knox is used for security for business apps and payments perhaps. If you flash a custom recovery, Knox bit is set forever and will not work. This means your warranty is over too. You can tell if your Knox warranty void bit is set in download mode.
This Pingpong root works without tripping the Knox, so warranty is still there
Hey guys.. Bought a new Sam Galaxy Alpha G-850Y and tried rooting it using Framaroot, Towelroot and Kingroot. Framaroot and Towelroot don't support mh device and when i tried king root it Failed at 70%(rebooted once at 53%). Didnt worry then now tried updating my software by OTA. It says Your Device has been modified . Checked SystemStatus it is custom. Then checked root by various root check apps The Results were Different . see screenshots attached. One says not rooted one says not properly rooted and one says Rooted. Now What to do... titanium backup and other apps which require root permision say I dont have root. Trued downloading Supersu but Didnt open properly. As i think m not rooted. Now i am thinking to properly root it and then unroot it.
I want my device status to official. How to??
Or else I want it properly rooted dont wanna get stuck in middle. Please help
NOW heard CF Autoroot works well but WILL IT TRIP KNOX?? [major question]
Any Other ways.. any help is wholeheartedly appreciated.. ?
If you want ro revert back to stock status then search for the proper country firmware on sammobile.com for your version of alpha and flash it with odin. It will erase all errors snd bring the phone to the fresh os.

I know but as you said before I don't think there is any method right now that can root lollipop a5 without tripping knox
To tell the truth, since 2000, none of my phones not broke. For each of them, since I discovered xda in 2008, I had modified software,so I do not look on the phone warranty.
Take your time, and wait for stable proven solutions.
For now this is warm, new, but unpopular (for the moment) phone.
