Hello. I had already written to samsung to find an answer about what l can do with my problem but i got no solution. Mistakenly I locked my samsung knox because I inserted an erroneous pin. I want to know How to solve this and retrieve the information that I have on my samsung knox, or at least, with whom should I talk or where I can write to have support ?. They gave me some guides and It didn't help at all. Thank u! I really need my knox.
If someone knows spanish tell me, please.
anyone rooted their i9200 on 4.4.2 with knox, using CF Auto root ? or any other method actually (and what method did you use)
Just wanna see if this method is successful, as I've heard some folks say it's not possible with knox. Wanna keep it stock if it's not possible.
thank you!

Whitch option in ODIN 3.10.6 after OTA update problem?

for anyone else who is having issues, if you use the bundled 3.07 that seems to not work. I downloaded 3.10.6 and was able to get it to work on my edge using the 920 file.

There are 4 buttons to load the file and I cant get it to go through with any of them checked. Is there a specific one to check off?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge
Model SM-G925F
Android version 5.0.2
Baseband version G925FXXU1AOCW
Kernel version 3.10.61-4497415
Build number LXR22G.G925FXXU1AOCV
and I would like to root it with CF Autoroot.
I'm not an Android specialist and even the vocabulary is sometimes mysterious to me, so please excuse my naive questions.
The first one is : the phone has received a new software update which is awaiting me to install it, but I haven't done that yet because I saw on the CF Autoroot site that the root for G925F was based on build LRX22G.G925FXXU1AOCV, which I currently have...
So the question is : is it a problem to have the new update (approximately 160Mb I think) pending? Will the root succeed with this pending update?
Second question :
Also, I tried to disable two processes which were called "Software update".
I could only disable one of them (Software Update, 1.59MB size), the other one (Software Update, 19MB size) has its options greyed out and I can't use them.
Is this a problem? Should I re-enable the "Software update" process before rooting?
Third question : what are the consequences of the root?
Will the phone still receive the Samsung updates? I guess that if the answer is yes, updating will remove the root, is this right?
In that case, if I want to keep the root, how can I stop all updates, which currently are pushed to the phone... and that I couldn't stop, cf. question 2.
And, fourth question: after rooting based on the mentionned build, will there be new "roots" for this model, based on newer stock firmware? (so that the phone can receive useful Samsung updates)
Again, sorry for my silly questions, I did read the whole thread, but... I don't get all the subtle "evident" specialist stuff, and I'd like to avoid bricking the phone if possible
Thanks for your answers and help in explaining things to me!

I do believe that when rooting your S6 you will trip the KNOX counter resulting in void warranty and inability to receive official updates. Check out this http://www.kingoapp.com/help/samsung-knox-counter.htm

thank you for any help
If I'm on 5.0.2 and flash 5.1.1 without the new f**** bootloader(and probably modem so as to have signal) through flashfire, will I be able to use cf-root after this??
Or it s a matter of kernel as well?
Of course it will trip knox, right?

So finally cf-root keeping current binary official even with knox 0x1 is not going to happen on 5.1.1??

EDIT: THE OLD MAN FOUND INSTRUCTIONS, AND SUCCEEDED. THANKS! MODERATORS: PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD AT YOUR DISCRETION.
Hi,
Would anyone be so kind as to point this old man (50 years old) to clear and reliable instructions to root a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy S5?
Model: SM-G900T1
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband: G900T1UVU1ANK1
Kernel: 3.4.0-1616453
Build: KOT49H.G900T1UVU1ANK1
Thank you!

Do you care about tripping knox security?
You can use odin to put twrp recovery on the phone, takes the place of the stock recovery, then from there you only need to install the supersu.zip
Hi New Optimus,
Thank you!
I don't think I need to care about tripping Knox security. This is my personal phone, and I understand that tripping Knox security will not void the hardware warranty. Am I possibly or definitely wrong about the latter?
Is this the sequence you indicate?
Flash in TWRP using Odin.
Transfer over supersu.zip, and then flash that using TWRP.
Do I need to find device-specific versions of TWRP and/or supersu.zip?
Again, Thanks!
Andrei
Hello. Has anyone tried rooting the s6 edge 5.1.1 with kingroot and does the rooting process itself trigger the knox bit? i'm not trying to install a custom recovery or rom just get some apps to have root permissions... for now.
Sorry if I missed some threads about this, searched for it and haven't found anything..which doesn't give me much hope actually
It will work but will trip Knox
Bummer,thanks, i'm gonna stay away from it then and try the method that breaks the fingerprint scanner for now
