Ok, ill take a look at this. I know magisk but the main problem was / IS systemless root.

Is there really noone who wants systemless root or hide root on our galaxy s2?

Systemless root doesn't work on the S2 if I can remember correctly. Only system root works on the s2 when the selinux is not set to enforcing. I'm afraid I don't know of any way to hide root.

Also I want systemless root on my S2 and suhide, but we can't because the boot image patcher doesn't work. Must use the system root for now:crying:. I'm searching a way to do this...

Do I need to be rooted to flash custom roms?

I heard that alot of roms are now prerooted. I do have the bootloader unlocked on 2.3.6. Do i still need to root, or could i just flash a custom JB rom such as the ones created by Th3Bill?
thanks appreciate the help
has root preloaded.
why would you not want root access? after unlocking, flashing recovery, and installing a custom system, why would you not want root? i'm sure you have a good reason, just curious.
one post? can't tell if serious
You have the BL Unlocked, so flash a ROM and most (if not all) come with root preinstalled already...

I know this isn't directed at me, but I was asking myself the same question this user did, because I need to hide the System Bar on a JB Tablet, and from what I found it is only possible with root.

it'll probably be your only method. the Chinese seem to be taking over these root and jailbreak exploits. over on iOS, TaiG is the only group who has a jailbreak for the newest versions of that. and kingroot seems to be getting a similar status for people who want one-click root exploits.
keep in mind, root is a dangerous thing and it seriously harms the security of your device. you may not trust the Chinese, but they've probably been doing this all along.
good news though, you can replace the kinguser stuff with SuperSU somehow. don't ask me, I'm still running KitKat
KingRoot works. I just did it. Super easy.

I might be wrong but my understanding is that currently you can not install install any custom ROM on OC1, so why rush to root?
Any reason besides ability to uninstall some apps?

Apparently you can flash Stang5litre ROM on OTA 5.01 using Flashfire. I haven't tried it myself but if you go to the last couple of pages on the Stang5litre topic you will see post from those who were successful in flashing it on OC1.

Are there any good root apps?

I can't find a worth root app... Is there smth on the market?
I believe you shouldn't use any one-click-root apps
Just do a little search and root yourself
Reddi r/AndroidRoot has awesome mods and fairly good community, you can ask them

Kingoroot, despite being allowed on XDA and captured as part of their root options threads is malware.
Do not use it.
Unlock your bootloader, flash twrp then flash magisk.
Considering how nowadys everything seems to revolve around "Flash TWRP via Fastboot and then flash SuperSu.zip"
... I fail to see why we'd need that anymore...

Using SafetyNet apps on SamPWN root

How can I use apps that utilize SafetyNet on SamPWND root? I really want to use it but there are several apps that I use that I can't use if I root that I really want/need to use, is there any way around this?
Thanks
Simple answer, you can't. It's a system level root. We need an unlocked bootloader to trick it.

Root Without Triggering Knox

I have tried kingroot, kingoroot and kingroot pc version.
All of these are failed can I root without tripping Knox or can I reset my flash counter? (I read flash counter is e-fused)
Galaxy S9+
SM G965F
If there were a way to root WITHOUT tripping Knox, do you think there would ever be a root that did trip it?

Sorry I can't understand English very well, can you explain a little bit? If I root my device with tripping knox (0x1) can I use Samsung Health or Galaxy Wearable and get OTA updates?
I use Samsung Health an Wearable with root, no Problems.
But you don't get OTA Updates anymore.

Thank you for helping, my last questions:
Can I download them and install manually or by firechain? This is my first root so will I get important disadvantages?
Download manually.
Beside tripping Knox and no OTA's anymore no disadvantages. Maybe your guarantee is Void after rooting.
Don't do it! It's not worth it. You will lose guarantee. Google Camera is also available without root, if that's one of your reasons.

The answer to this is no.
It's an actual fuse that blows.

So what are the disadvantages of knox trip and flash counter other than guarantee?

Besides the usual risks involved with a rooted device...
Knox becomes permently disabled and any apps that depend on it will not work.. So Samsung pay, samsung health, secure folders, samsung pass are a few I know of that would not work.
Other apps may also pick up on the knox trip and/or detect the root will also not work.. Depending on the root utility or what's all included with the root used sometimes you can hide the root from some apps, sometimes you can't. I would not suggest being of the mindset that once done you won't have to worry about it.. As apps are updated things can change.
On a a side note there have been ways to get Samsung health to work posted on the internet, but how well they work or for how long may vary.
Samsung Health works without any Problems here, sync with Gear S3 without issues.
Rooted with Magisk, Soldiers Rom and Firmware.
I rooted my Note 9 SM-N960N with Magisk, Knox tripped, but working S-Health, Samsung Pass (with little tweak with the help of Es File Explorer)

Can you tell us what tweak you did to get Samsung pass to work?

Sorry for the late reply!
Well basically, you just have to rename the Samsung Pass app's extension located in:
1. system/priv-apps folder
2. system/data/app folder
Then reboot your device...
This guy over here found the solution for this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/samsung-pass-knox-tripped-devices-t3687977
Edit:
Original Samsung Pass menu is now replaced with toggle buttons. Flip the toggles and you're set!
Check attached images (I'm rooted, with a custom kernel, working Samsung Pass).

First I rooted mine using custom rooted kernel (ElementalX), that time I was not able to use S Health, but this method solved the problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306
But I'd recommend you to root your device through Magisk. (You have to install TWRP, then flash Magisk.) It's systemless, this way you can get OTA updates!
It should be worth noteing that the classic root that many users are pointing to will trip knox, however there are methods that do not trip knox but are not exactly the same persistent root methods. Both S7 and S8 had the same problem but yet methods existed that allowed rooting without triggering knox.
