Hi all,
Can someone please explain Knox in simple terms to me because the more I read the more I'm confused. I've read so many post on it and its just not sinking in. I had an s4 with KitKat update, it had knox icon under apps but when I pressed it it asked if I want to install it which I never did. On the boot up download mode the Knox counter was present.
Because the phone has been such a bad one me the phone company has sent me a new one. This has jellybean on it as it is new and no Knox icon displayed to install it. Also has Knox counter on startup though.
Phone won't update now because Samsung's own software update has yet again updated jellybean and left the phone thinking I have custom software, did same to my other phone and a tablet. However this is their problem. Something wrong with their upgrades.
But getting back, what I dont get is will an official flash of KitKat trigger the Knox counter? What about custom ROM installed? Is my firmware already locked and can't do any office updates let alone root? I don't think my galaxy tab 3 has knox
Any simple help much appreciated.
Hello! I just had a few questions about the whole new Knox Security thing Samsung has implemented in their newer phones and firmwares. So, what are the consequences of tripping the Knox counter with rooting the device? Does it just void warranty and tell them that it's been modded? I thought I read somewhere that after tripping Knox and restoring your phone back to Samsung firmware, it no longer gets OTA updates. Is this true? Thanks guys! Please go as in depth as you can!
I just got i9305 with TouchWiz 4.4.4 on it and Knox bootloader 0x0 (not tripped). From reading the forums, I get the impression rooting it without tripping Knox 0x1 flag is not possible.
Is this correct?
I installed TWRP on 5.0.2 which tripped KNOX (0x1). I just updated to 5.1.1 and the KNOX Warranty says this, KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0X000). Is my KNOX still tripped?
Edit: Should be 5.1.1 OF7 not OE7
Edit 2: Sorry, delete this thread please. I found my answer.
Well it's been a while since I've checked, but Im having a lot of trouble rooting my phone. Ive figured since the s7 is out, maybe someones done it without tripping knox on my model
I almost dont really care about knox
But id prefer one that doesnt trip it just in case.
Galaxy S6 Edge
5.1.1
G925-T
UVS3DOJC
Can someone help me? Im really trying get NetHunter on my phone
5.1.1 cannot be rooted eithout tripping knox because it requires flashing a kernal that roots the phone and that kernal is housed in the boot partition. Marshmallow can be rooted by the old method of flashing twrp and flashing a supersu flashable zip. So unless Im wrong (may a someone correct me if so) 5.1.1 cannot be rooted without tripping knox. Idk if flashing twrp will trip on marshmallow so do some research on that. If it doesnt there you go all you have to do is wait for it then. If not then its not possible as far as i know. I cant tell you MM wise because i tripped my knox on L5.1.1
