Good morning my gentle people.
Recently I got the 6S Edge and naturally of course like every other XDA member I would like to customize it.
I've searched far and wide for more information but all I could find were just the definitions of words. I have multiple questions to ask;
Is there a safe way of rooting my phone? (With KNOX still intact please)
Is there a possibility to unlock the bootloader?
If I root/unlock my bootloader, are there any malfunctions in the behaviour of my phone afterwards?
Is it safe to flash anything when everything is still original? (no root, no unlocked bootloader)
Again some more info:
Buildnumber: MMB29K.G25FXXU4DPIL
Android OS: Marshmallow 6.0.1
KNOX: 2.6
Thanks for the help in advance.

What recovery is best for my phone?
Also is there an order of which stuff needs to e flashed? Like do I need to flash a recovery before I flash a kernel or a custom rom?

Flash twrp first.

Cf auto root to root your phone. Knox will be tripped.

Then flash any custom roms or kernels through twrp.

No only flashable zips or .img can he flashed through flash fire. Has to be through odin.
All cf autoroots trip knox
Flash fire is a root app... you need root to use it.

When you flash anything with Odin it increases your bin counter you can see it if you go into download mode.It tells Samsung how may times you have flashed your device although you can reset it with triangle away.You cannot by pass it only reset it, to avoid increasing it just flash custom roms with a custom recovery this does not increase the counter.

Hello,
I have a SM-G925F with an official firmware (G925FXXU1AOE3) and rooted with PingPong method.
As the title says, can i flash TWRP through Flashfire without triggering the knox ?
Second, can i flash a custom rom through Flashfire without modifying recovery/kernel and triggering the knox?

Sorry buddy but it's no and no. Attempting to install any custom recovery will trigger Knox and flash fire only automates the process and avoids you going into recovery mode it still requires a custom recovery to function.

What are you talking about ? i use flashfire, it doesnt require a custom recovery to function.
My idea is to change the rom (with a custom rom based on an official firmware") but to not touch to the recovery/kernel.
In this case, if i flash it through flashfire, Is it triggers knox?
I always confuse flashify with flashfire. You are correct. Sorry about the confusion.
Is this possible? I am new to samsung! Is this correct, you can flash a custom rom without tripping knox?
Just to be clear, with flashfire you can install twrp and custom kernels without tripping knox?
I haven't tried, but Knox isn't something that checks what you flash and then it's done. It even runs during boot. Whatever you will install to this phone, it will know and it will blow the eFuse if you try. The Software is extremely capable of detecting unofficial firmware. Same applies to flashing a kernel. The kernel will be permissive and not signed properly, which will set of the fuse before you can say "Knox Warranty void"
If I flash an official rom customised with a stock kernel like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
Are you sure the knox will be triggered ?

i tried to flash the twrp with flashify and my knox was triggered
I don't want to flash twrp ( I know it triggers knox), I just want to flash a rom, not the recovery, not the kernel.
And I talk about flash fire, not flashify.

Did we ever get a concrete answer on this? I also would like to be able to flash a ROM with flashfire and NOT trip Knox. Has anybody done this successfully?
I just flashed twrp using Flashfire and can confirm that it will trigger knox!
Anybody who has tried to flash a ROM with Flashfire instead of a custom recovery?
Is there a rooted 5.1.1 rom for Odin anywhere?
Preferably already deodexed.

I have a stock rooted ROM here and am working on a deodexed version but I see no benefit/need for creating an Odin version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404
just asking . apparently with this root method of using a permissive kernel, the privacy mode is broken. any idea if that can be fixed and keep root?
benefit is that it's everything in a single package. including bootloader, modem etc.. twrp is good for flashing a different rom of the same version but for upgrades it's better to use odin. imho.

The ROM for 5.1.1 isn't flashable through FlashFire to keep root and Knox 0x0 right?

Correct, you need a custom kernel to root 5.1 which trips the warranty bit any way you flash it.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 5 (G900T). T-Mobile Un-locked and now using on At&t Straight Talk and i want to root it I am on Lollipop 5.1.1 with firmware G900TUVU1FOG6 look for the best option and safest Ty

If you want a custom rom just install twrp and get on a og6 rom.
or you could use @ShinySide root method to keep stock rom and obtain root.
However both trip Knox oh well Knox is nothing on s5

You will need to flash a custom recovery after. I recommend twrp. Then you can start flashing custom roms.

I'm 99% sure you won't get bootloop flashing the auto root. But download stock ROM just in case if this happens just flash the stock ROM. But like I said it's slim chance that this will happen.
The first time you flash cf auto root it may bootloop like 2 times but it is completely normal

No, you can reset the flash counter but knox will always be 0x1 (tripped) to be honest not many people or too bothered about knox. I've had my phone in for repair a few times with tripped knox. Samsung never even checked
