Hello Guys,
So i have sold off my at&t alpha because there was no root for the snapdragon version and bought a New Alpha SM-G850FQ. Apparently its supported by many rooting tools i just wanted to ask if any of them provide root access without tripping KNOX. Does Towelroot root without tripping knox (as claimed in many instructional videos)

I WAS READING THIS THREAD EARLIER TODAY AND I FOUND IT INTERESTING AND USEFUL. HERE IS THE LINK http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044 IF THIS WORKS FOR OUR T- MOBILE S5 IT CAN ALLOW FOR UPGRADING WITHOUT USING MOBILE ODIN PRO, RETAINING ROOT AND NOT TRIPPING KNOX. IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR OTHER VARIANTS.
DISCLAIMER : I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS AND BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE .......
BASICALLY WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY IS TO
1 FIRST INSTALL TOWELROOT
2 THEN INSTALL JUST A KERNEL FROM AN OLDER BUILD I GUESS NE6
3 ROOT WITH TOWELROOT UPDATE THE BINARY INSTALL BUSYBOX.
4 FINALLY INSTALL THE CORRECT KERNEL FOR THE FIRMWARE YOU ARE USING
ALL KERNELS CAN BE FOUND HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761412
THIS WOULD BE USEFUL TO THOSE WHO ARE ON NF6 OR NG3 NOT ROOTED AND WANT TO ROOT AND NOT TRIGGER KNOX
So I've seen it done on a Verizon and AT&T Models, but not on a TMobile and i have some questions,
Will it work on my device? (Given my specs below)
Will this brick my device?
Will it trigger Knox?
Just Root and SuperUser Right? No Custom Roms?
How much trust should i put into this developer?
SM-G900T
4.4.2
Kernel : May 23 2014
Security: Release 3
> Any other things i should tell about my device, to help you, help me?
(I Already know the steps to use TowelRoot)
That is how I rooted my phone back with the original software.
If you are running the newest stock version you will need to downgrade first.
Newer kernels have patched the exploit used by towelroot.
..
Rooted my phone on the same exact kernel about 2 weeks ago and it is still (as of today) 0x0 NO KNOX triggered meaning my phone is still safe from knox 0x1, I have not had a single problem rooting or using rooted apps, your safe with the towel root any other questions just ask
Just purchased two TMO S5 to retire my two S4. Used towel root on both phones and it work without any issue. Did the Philz CWM recovery but still waiting for the Rom Mgr version to appear.

I used Towelroot with same software as you have currently. All went fine.
Worked on my new T-mobile S5.. I used this method on my prior AT&T S as well.

There is a not a way to do that yet. I'm sure you used Towel root to root 4.4.2 and not trip KNOX. Towel Root dose not work for 4.4.4 yet. Neither does Kingo Root, and Root De La Vega. The 4.4.4 update patches the exploit in 4.4.2. You can read through my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 unless you are actually using the containerization security of KNOX, you don't need to worry about the warranty. Read about my trip to the Sprint Corporate store. Sprint will cover the warranty as long as if is not rooted when you bring it in for service, or send it back to Sprint for service. If the device is hard bricked there is no way to tell it has been rooted and they automatically replace the device.
I am currently running the OS below.
T-Mobile SG5 Model SM-900T
Android 4.4.2
Baseband: G900TUVU1CNK2
My knox is not tripped and the only apps I really use ROOT for is.
Titanium Backup Pro
Busy Box
Lucky Patcher (to remove annoying ads)
Is it possible to update this to a newer OS and still have ROOT without tripping KNOX?

No, all the ways of rooting beyond KitKit will cause Knox to trip on a Samsung phone.
The easiest way to update and acquire root, would be to flash a new version, that is already rooted. There are several in the Android Development subforum here. GP2 is the most recent for this phone.

So I am finally ready to move on from my beloved S4 but am realizing that a lot of newer phones cannot be rooted due to the fact that at least with Verizon that their rooting methods require you to unlock the bootloader. I was wondering how devices like the S4 were rooted without ever have unlocked the bootloader (at least in the later versions of updates before loki, where it was locked and when I got the phone), and if anyone can pull up sites that have information on the exploits and methods that were used to accomplish this. Thanks
