I really liked private mode on this cellphone, but last night I just root my device for first time tripped my Knox and install the custom Rom project infinity latest one. Guess what? I can't use my private mode now. They said any rom with
Deoxide will not support private mode.So what should I do now? Should I un root my device back to stock? Or is there any other Rom or fix here?
^^^
Private mode doesn't work on deodexed ROMs, which seems like most of custom ROMs are deodexed. You can try to go back to stock and see if that fixed your problem, I've heard mix reviews about private mode working after KNOX been tripped.
Private mode will work with Knox tripped and while rooted. Deodexed roms break it and so does xposed. If you go back to your stock rooted rom, it'll work again.

Edited this original post here, it was 3:30am when I typed the original.. Anyway - anyone know if rooting can cause any type of instability on it's own? Without installing custom mods, roms, etc - does the act of rooting potentially cause things to not work as intended from the carrier? (my friend had an S3, rooted, and allshare stopped working - he was only rooted). I know there is some type of exploit involved in gaining root access, so that's why I ask. It's not a critique on rooting, I want to do it myself.
Disregard this second post

Anyone? I know it says "at your own risk", but i am curious - are there inherent known issues that can crop up just from rooting alone, maybe from just the method of gaining root through the system?

There may be a few things that don't function properly as a result from rooting. But it's 99.99999% of the time not an actual issue with the files on the phone. Nothing should be modified except for root access.
One of the ones for sure would be ota updates. I read someone else was having issues with one of the Samsung apps for streaming video to devices. These issues and others like them were caused by the system status being changed to custom and can be solved quite easily by setting the system status back to official with wanam xposed. With root and the status set to official your phone should preform exactly as stock in every way except you'll have root.
But be aware if you accept the ota while rooted you may lose root. Would have to re root or use supersu pro to maintain root during the ota.

Rooting will give you many benefits. Some of these include unauthorized apk installation, developer mode, custom firmware/modem improvements and fixes for some less functional stock features. This list could go on and on...
Most carriers frown upon customers rooting their devices for a few reasons; liability, damage control and profit above all.
When your device is rooted, custum, unofficial, and/or the Samsung KNOX binary counter has been tripped, Sprint/Samsung will consider your warranty void. Basically you will need to return the device to official stock and unrooted if you need to have your phone serviced.

Fully agree.
However just to say it again because I see the question everywhere.
YOU CAN NOT RESET KNOX TO 0X0 AFTER IT HAS BEEN TRIPPED TO 0X1.
There is a root method that doesn't flip the knox flag though if that is a concern.

I've never had issues when just rooting a device granted I've only had the s3 and note 2 and now the note 3. But with the note 3 if you use the auto root method it will trip knox and that can't be undone and will void the warranty. The root de la vega method will give you just root access if it's what your looking for with out messing up knox.
Thanks guys. Yeah, like I said my buddy's allshare cast stopped when he rooted, so now he's reluctant to do that again. I know about not accepting OTAs. I think I am going to wait to see what other root methods may crop up, and also see if anyone finds away to reverse any accidental knox trips. Right now, i'm just enjoying the damn thing lol! Thanks all.

If your knox is already flipped no need to wait for a new method. Just cm auto root. Use xposed to set system status official. And optionally get supersu pro and select the keep root ota option or don't update to any ota .the files will be in the development section to flash after its released. Like this and you should be 100% functional and stock/rooted.
I'm currently rooted with the vega root .status official. And everything appears to work for me including allshare.
There is always a risk with changing anything. But in my opinion the benefits out way the risks. And all of this is easily undone by just flashing back to a stock system.

Ok, first what version of Kikat are you running? If you upgraded to 4.4.4 you are out of luck for now. If you are still on 4.4.2 NC5, you can use Towel root. This will give you root access, and will NOT trip KNOX 0x0 !!! However the minute you install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM that will trip KNOX and void your warranty. REMEMBER Sprint will warranty your device with the KNOX warranty counter tripped 0x1 as long as you unroot the device before you take it in or sent it back to Sprint !!! If the device is hard bricked, there is no way to tell it was rooted and they automatically replace the phone. With rooted access and no recovery you can Debloat the device and run rooted apps. Enjoy !!!

darn I guess i'm boned then. I have 4.4.2 but I used Odin to root my phone :-/
I guess if something does happen to where I need to replace it, there's always the *nuke* method or *it's lost or stolen + nuke* method as i do have Sprint's TEP plan.

I run a stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5 with Philz custom recovery version 6.12.9 hltespr. The device was rooted and warranty tripped the second day I owned it. I was in a Sprint corporate Store a couple of wks ago. Showed the tech my rooted note 3. He said I can't touch that, I said what if I unrooted the phone. He said no problem, now I can warranty the phone. He didn't care that the KNOX flag was tripped at all 0x1. Just can't be rooted when you bring it in for service. Sprint doesn't care about KNOX only Samsung cares about KNOX. When Samsung paid millions to the NSA to design a security system to track and spy on others than they care !!!
I needed to replace the original Email.apk & Exchange2.apk with an XDA-version ( Exchange Security Bypass ) since i don't want the exchange server to lock down my entire phone so i rooted my Alpha. In addition i removed S-health and some other apps i don't want on my phone. Of cource, now the built in update-function from Samsung won't work and when Lollipop is pushed out i'll be left out
So my questions are:
1. Can i unroot my phone and get updates through Samsung even though i replaced/deleted some apps?
2. I presume i needed root only to install/replace the email-app, if i unroot my phone, will the replaced app still work?
3. After what i've done, can i restore the original firmware somehow and get my "update priviliges" back?
You can get the stock firmware and flash it (using kies or odin/heimdall & sammymobile)
Cool, thanx!
Which flashing tool would you recommend?

Triangle Away does not work with the Alpha (yet?) and a modified ROM is spotted by Knox and will not update.
No doubt when Samsung release a Lolipop firmware it will be available to download from the usual places and flash with TWRP or Odin.

1. you can unroot but i doubt that automatic updates will work. the OTA will not work in a custom rom. as long as you have official/stock rom installed (by odin or other methods), OTA will work.
2.as soon as you flash a stock rom/firmware, all the apps and bloatware will be back.
3.yes you can flash an official/stock firmware via Odin or other methods. you can check updates on www.sammobile.com/firmwares

an unrooted stock rom will not be marked as custom regardless the Knox counter. i had S4Mini previously and i only had to flash stock rom and OTA will work (although i never used it. i like to chose which firmware is best and available through the above menioned source. knowing that OTA will work on stock rom, i don't think triangle away is important unless you want to sell the device and cover the tracks that you've tried unofficial firmwares

well, that's the difference. now Knox counter disables warranty but other functions are kept. i think that's why we don't see new versions of TriangleAway app
Pretty easily done with Odin and TWRP.
ALERT! This will void whatever warranty you have. Also, I am not at fault if your phone comes to life..... or dies.
Just need to download Odin (there are forums all over for finding the files.)
Download the TWRP recovery flash file:
http://dl.twrp.me/hltespr/twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar
Download Chainfire's SuperSU and copy to SD card:
http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Power off phone entirely.
Hold Volume down + home and power the device on, then press Volume up to confirm entering Download Mode.
Open Odin.
Connect Phone to computer.
Wait for drivers to install if not already. May need to obtain Samsung USB drivers (http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers)
When the box shows "COM #", click the PDA button and select the TWRP image file you downloaded. (or other recovery).
Uncheck "Auto Reset"
Click Start.
Once finished, disconnect device.
PULL BATTERY
Power into Recovery first thing first by holding Volume up + Home. (failure to do so will result in the stock recovery being flashed back on boot by the phone)
Recovery will autopatch the ROM to prevent the stock recovery from being rewritten on reboot. (or should)
From inside your recovery, flash the SuperSU update zip.
Reboot and enjoy root!
(I had to try a couple of times through trial and error to get it to stick)
Thank you.
Thank worked like a charm!
Worked first time. Thanks!

It does from what I can tell. A stock ROM flash should be able to reset Knox, it did for me, but varied results from other threads on these forums.

Wow your the first person that I have read that was able to reset a blown an efuse American sprint note 3 Knox that way.
I'm reluctant to try it.
And thinking about it it looks like that yes it would looks like it needs a a non stock recovery.
I'll wait.
Looks like we are about to have a deodexed stock rom with root about to drop. From the other thread post in here.

Just to clarify. Once KNOX is tripped there is no reseting it unless the insides are swapped out. When you trip KNOX you blow an e-fuse which is non reversible. However there are ways of upgrading and keeping root without tripping knox, but thats has nothing to do with this

so tripping KNOX and blowing the e-fuse is bad, right? so what happens after? does the phone self destruct? and is there a way around it?

It's only bad if you care about warranty. Once rooted it will show 0x1 in Download Mode. A Samsung repair Tech or Sprint Repair Tech can see that and refuse to fix your phone

Worked a treat on my Note 3 SM-9005 Lollipop, took 1st time no probs.
Knox is tripped but what the hell, I've been living with the stock build up until the Lollipop update.
works fine
I recently upgraded to ok2, and used this same procedure to reroot my phone successfully.
Coming from JellyBean MJ4 firmware would it be safe to flash the pre-rooted OK2 through TWRP?
Flashed fine from NAB and seemed functional enough but I wasn't happy with the Lollipop UI. Reverted to NK4.
Thanks worked from OK2 Stock.
One question... Can I use another SU application? I was trying to use an old wireless tethering application but it is asking me if I am rooted and won't start.
Titanium backup runs fine and says I have root, as does Root Checker.
If not, does anyone have a working wireless tethering application for their Note 3?

I use Wi-Fi tether router. It's about $3 and works beautifully. (It does license check I believe)
They haven't updated their language to include lollipop, but as a general rule, whatever it says to do for kitkat will work on lollipop. Under "Configure Router," they have a link to the website with a list of configurations. Just follow that, and you should be good. One thing that I would add is to leave the "lte tether patch" unchecked.

You could try finding a newer superuser zip to flash in recovery. I do know that a couple of older ones gave that issue. I personally didn't have any luck with another supersu app, but the last time I tried a different one was on kitKat.
Hi guys,
So I've recently started a contract with the Samsung J5 phone. Although it's a really nice thing, it has a very big draw back compared to my previous iPhone 5c (yes I know, an iPhone, I hate them too bit I needed it for work... No, really!). It's memory capacity. My iPhone had a huge 16GB internal memory capacity whereas my J5 has a measly 8GB which has already filled up fast.
Why? Because I have so much bloatware on the phone that it's completely swamped the internal memory, and even though I have a 32GB external SDCard, I can't use the thing to store any of the pre-installed bloatware because it's on the protected read-only partition.
Anyway, I've been searching for a way to root my stock firmware (really not planning on changing ROMs with this one as I quite like the stock one for the moment) so that I can delete those pesky bloatware apps and free memory on my phone.
After looking into it, I started learning about how KNOX can be tripped and have it's "Root Flag" change from 0x0 to 0x1 which instantly void the manufacture warranty... Not good! I live in the UK and everything insurance revolves around the manufacture warranty!
Also, there's something about OEM Unlocking too???
My phone is as follows:
Model: SM-J500FN
Android Version: 5.1.1
KNOX Version: 2.4
Even so, here's what my questions are (Finally! XD) because after scouring the internet there is no single definitive place that does what I want.
1) How do I root my stock firmware?
2) How do I root my phone WITHOUT tripping KNOX?
Sorry for the long post, I wanted to give as much information as possible.
Bump, anyone got any ideas at all?
The root I used is chainfire autoroot. Go to autoroot.chainfire.eu and download your version phone version of root file.
Flash the file using Odin by going into download mode. Unlock oem Bootloader first.
Now start the flashing process and your stock rom shall be perfectly rooted.
Flash twrp v 3.0.0.
You now have a custom Recovery. Install Flashfire application from playstore or their website and download xposed v79. 1 (custom built by wanam xposed). No other version but v79. 1.
Now you also have xposed. Congratulations.
However my Knox tripped when I rooted my phone long ago. But who cares about Knox?

Are You Serious? who cares our device's warranty depends on knox if it gets tripped it cant be undone and we cant claim warranty too plus its unique and extra special feature too
