How can I tell if I have tripped the Knox Flag?

How can I tell if I have tripped the Knox Flag?

You can check your Knox Flag Counter by booting into Download Mode (with device off – hold Power + Vol Down + Home).

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 - you have not tripped Knox...you're doing great!

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 - you HAVE tripped Knox...commence the freak out!

When I hold 3 buttons (power vol down and home) I don't get KNOX WARRANTY VOID.

I get "Press volume UP to install new OS, volume DOWN to cancel and reboot"

Should I press volume UP?

AT&T Note 3.

Thanks

HELP PLEASE! ever since i rooted and flashed my phone, id say roughly 95% of the time, i have to do a reboot when starting my truck as my bluetooth appears to be connected and you see the music "playing back" on the device, but no sound. ive tried turning off/on bluetooth via navigation panel, toggling between AM/FM radio then reselecting bluetooth audio, killing the app (beats music) and restarting it, etc...all at once and at combinations of any of the above and the absolute only way to regain sound through the vehicle speakers is to reboot my device. this never occurred until the root. what the hell is wrong?!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tropazr:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TenaciousB06:
Is it worth rooting and flashing a different ROM now, given that an official Lollipop build is just around the corner? I just got a used AT&T Note 3 with 4.4.2 on it, but if a whole bunch of changes are going to be made to the fundamental system (e.g. device encryption, possible new kernel), would I just have to undo all the work I just did to allow for the official 5.0 ROM to install?

AT&T Note 3 Android 5.0

I just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile, so AT&T "unlocked" my phone if that makes any difference. Regardless, I would like to root my phone so I can remove the AT&T bloatware. Can I root an Android 5.0 phone? I see no guides for 5.0 devices.

Also, considering flashing a custom ROM, but wanted to ask if doing so is going to erase all my personal info? I've got apps on this device that have info I need to keep... Is there any way to flash a custom ROM and keep my data?

Thanks!!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TheAngelicOne:
It's definitely possible to root on Lollipop but you'd have to downgrade to Kitkat to actually do the rooting. After you do the rooting in Kitkat, you would install Safestrap. After you do that, you boot into Safestrap and install a pre-rooted Lollipop ROM and OC1 kernel. Then boot into rooted Lollipop! Keep in mind that all this is for the ATT Galaxy Note 3. You wouldn't have to go through all this hassle with a Galaxy Note 3 that has an unlocked bootloader.

Heya everyone!

I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on4.3. I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the first post, but the thread it links too is missing a file so that's basically a no go.

If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-root-at-galaxy-note-3.html

Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.

Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 440bro:
Here is a link to my 4.4.2 stock rom restore files.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4ess05wexe152/Restore_NC2

Use odin to flash the home file and it's like getting a fresh OTA update. Meaning you might need to factory reset afterwards. If you use odin to flash the other 4 simultaneously it automatically resets everything. You won't be rooted at this point. But you can install the towelroot app and gain root access.

Then install supersu and reboot to enjoy full root.

After that install this xposed module. It provides access to a bunch of modules that can tweak your phone. For example you can install this gps tweaking module and enjoy your pokemon go withing the going part if ya know what I'm saying!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Crxssroad:
Thank you! Someone suggested I do this on another thread so it seems like my most likely root.

EDIT: Route* haha but I left root for the pun. Thanks again.

EDIT2: Everything is working perfectly, thank you my kind sir! If there is any project you find yourself working on in the future, I'll make sure to donate(assuming I bump into one or you can direct me, either way is fine).

Hi guys. My HDX 7 is still running 13.3.2.1, should I update or stay at current firmware hoping for some root method? I just want YouTube, Google Play and a normal launcher. I don't really care about Amazon services.

Thanks in advance!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cevyn:
It is possible to make the HDX more "Android-like" without rooting it. Because root seems distant I've spent some time working on and have shared on my blog how to pull it off:

Also, an app called SuperTube works pretty well for watching YouTube on HDX.

If you want the real YouTube app and you have another android device like a phone or something just use esfile explorer add a drop box account and copy the YouTube apk out of your data/app folder, then install esfile explorer on your kindle add drop box go to were you saved the apk and install it, like cevyn says you can actually get pretty far without root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ManlyFeet:
I was looking to root my phone and flash a custom ROM onto it as I had done a year prior. I opened up my Galaxy Note 2 toolkit and applied a stock ROM and rooted it as normal with TWRP recovery and SuperSU. After doing so I realized that the ROM I wished to installed used the 4.3 Android firmware for the phone. So I found and installed the 4.3 firmware for the device, but after doing so it seems as though TWRP recovery and SuperSU have been removed. Also, whenever I try to use the Galaxy Note 2 to re-root my device, it doesn't acknowledge the device is connected. Also, I get this error on my computer where it says it doesn't recognize the hardware connected, yet I can still use it as a media device and move files. Has anyone had the same problem or can help provide some insight?
[HTC One Max] kisypher:
You need to have stock recovery in order to update.
[HTC One Max] CMPColumbus:
Flash back to stock recovery and use supersu paid to keep its root... Worked fine just make sure you are unlocked and s_off when u update so if something happens you can ruu back to 4.3.. glad I was!!! If you have the tether hack it will not work.. just to let you know

I have a Canadian version S4. For a while now I've noticed that the back camera will not focus. I have tried different apps, different ROMS, and googled for weeks on end and never found a solution that helped me. Hard reset doesn't help, soft reset doesn't work, killing the camera process doesn't work. the only thing I can do is hold the phone really close to whatever I want to take a picture of, which isn't always possible. Is this a problem with custom ROMs, or is it just me?

Conspiracy theory moment:

Or any root exploits in general....when the phones have bootloaders that should not have been able to be unlocked and technically should never have been able to be rooted. ?

[Moto X General] bigv5150:
So what if they know your rooted no big deal. Just because your rooted does not mean your unlocked.
[Moto X General] scoobaspeaz:
I got the update and it never asked me for root. Another way to block it if it is asking you is use the Xposed root cloak module to hide root from it.
[Moto X General] ghstudio:
Isn't the Developer Edition unlocked so that you can do things like root and make changes?
[Moto X General] The Tallest:
No, the Developer Edition is not unlocked by default. It still needs to be unlocked but Motorola will give you the code if you ask. And by ask I mean go through their website and request the code.

I've got a Developer Edition but if Verizon asks for SU permission I'll just uninstall the app.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Lets expand on this conspiracy theory and focus on root exploits in general....

Technically, rooting voids your warranty (which talks about altering the stock software in anyway not being allowed)

So think about it.. this tool could collect info that you are rooted, and tag/flag your account, then when you call/come in for warranty, the rep can deny it for being rooted without having to look at your phone, or any knowledge of how to check for root.

Of course, this brings up the issue of the flag being still on there even if you later buy a new phone and haven't rooted it.
[Moto X General] tcrews:
It asked me on my Developer Edition but I just denied it root access. I then added it to root cloak (xposed module) as an app to hide root from.

Since it works on non-rooted phones, it'll work on a rooted phone with root access denied just the same.
[Moto X General] fury683:
I was curious about this as well. If you deny the root request, would it be the same as the phone not being rooted, to them anyways? Like does that appear to the app to be the same as requesting the command and the phone wasn't rooted?
[Moto X General] ssoares01:
Mine updated but did not ask for root.
[Moto X General] fury683:
Do you get a prompt for all apps? In the settings of SuperSU you can set it to auto approve, or not ask for approval when an app updates (if you approved it once, it will be approved for future versions as well).
[Moto X General] ssoares01:
Yes, I have to approval all. Not setup for auto approval.
[Moto X General] detonation:
If you're rooted, Verizon likely already knows. And probably doesn't actually care that much. When I brought my Dev edition moto X in to get activated, one of the sales guys commented that's he into flashing custom roms and was thinking about rooting his verizon galaxy gear.
[Moto X General] kcipopnevets:
If Verizon kills my IMEI, I have no other phone to use. They can't make me buy another phone so they'd better waive my ETF and stop billing me for my debunked-contract phone. I'll take my MAXX for the measly $200 I paid so far and head to AT&T where I can get something else. But I did get SU request and I denied it right away.
[Moto X General] bigv5150:
Everyone is always worried there account is going to get terminated or phone shut off. The only thing I feel this could mean is they are going to deny warranty claims. So I don't care I China unlocked so I'm screwed either way.
[Moto X General] jideay:
Exactly. Why worry about something we have no control over? I have rooted every android phone and tablet I've ever owned. No problems with Verizon at all. I am a third tier computer tech/analyst/manager, and when I get home from work, I hack equipment. I enjoy it. And I'll keep doing it. IF Verizon even cares, they may be just trying to understand how many phones are out there, eyeing it as a future money maker... It's always about the $$$.
[Moto X General] The Tallest:
I just checked SU and had it set to automatically grant. I changed the setting to prompt now. I then went into the Play Store since I don't get the notifications that things need updating and sure enough, VZW Mobile is sitting there asking to be updated. I have a Developer Edition so I don't care that it's going to probably ask but I'm going to deny it and then either disable or uninstall it.

EDIT: Meh, I was going to Root Cloak it then update/disable but decided I don't ever use the app so I don't care. I just made a backup and uninstalled it. Screw it.
[Moto X General] JustROLLIN:
I got the update, but never prompted for SU access. I checked the logs and nothing was ever granted so I just disabled the app. Viola.
[Moto X General] The Tallest:
I forgot about my wife's phone. She said she updated this morning but never asked for root permission. I can't remember if I set her phone up for automatic grant or not. Either way, I'm uninstalling it from her phone too.
[Moto X General] ssoares01:
I just went through the logs to make sure I'm not having a "moment" and no requests from the VZW app... weird.
[Moto X General] iKrYpToNiTe:
I wasn't worried I just thought I'd create a thread for people who got prompted and wanted to know why, so I posted the class file that shows exactly what information they were gathering. I'm exactly like you I've rooted or unlocked every device I've owned and will not stop because of this. I personally just thought it was sketchy that they use that app to basically do an electronic survey of your phone, and thought other people might want to know :)
[Moto X General] jideay:
I just downloaded the update. It did not request super user permissions. I checked the SuperSU log just to make sure. nothing there. Interesting.
[Moto X General] iKrYpToNiTe:
I think it's on a timer or something there was a alarm function in another class file I don't know if it was related or not. But it didn't prompt me immediately after I updated it was actually a couple minutes after I rebooted a couple hours after I updated it.
[Moto X General] jideay:
Sure enough. It just popped up. Very interesting.
[Moto X General] scootier:
Yeah, it prompted me a few minutes after the update had installed.

Luckily I bought the phone outright so even if they know, they can't do a darn thing.
[Moto X General] fury683:
Yeah, mine asked for root probably 30 minutes (at least) after I updated it.

Edit: Another theory is that they're tracking who is rooted and checking data usage to see if you're using a lot of data (tether) on an unlimited plan and can use that to breach your contract.
[Moto X General] The Tallest:
What if you don't have a contract? My wife and I do not have contracts and we don't plan on renewing. We've still got our unlimited plan. Neither of us tether though but both phones are setup to tether via Xposed. What are they going to do with those people? Jokes on them, threaten to change my plan and add tethering at $30 a month as well as force us into a tiered plan and we walk. There's nothing holding either of us to Verizon. Just imagine if there are a lot more still on unlimited with the same attitude as my wife and I. How much money is Verizon willing to lose? Not that I honestly see them doing that but one can never be too sure.
[Moto X General] fury683:
I guess I'm not "on contract" either, because I bought my Moto X outright and my 2 year renewal for the Razr Maxx is expired. There are still terms of use, though. I too have tethering through Xposed, but use it maybe once a week, and it's only for when I want to use my Razr Maxx and I don't have wifi available. I use it for 5-10 minutes to do things with apps that would appear to be exactly the same as the usage on my actual phone, and shut it off. It's there more because it can be than because I need it.

I listen to Pandora in the car for 2-3 hours each day and usually use 8-10GB of data a month. I'd be more concerned if I was actually tethering and had several PCs going through my phone and was doing non-mobile stuff (torrents, tons of Netflix, XBOX Live, etc).
[Moto X General] ericshmerick:
Bye warranty!
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
So root access denied is different from no root access? Then they can tell who is rooted? They can determine if su exists.
[Moto X General] :
With my various Verizon Android phone(s), I've done a lot of wiping, reinstalling, rooting, etc. I don't think any Verizon app has ever survived more than 5 minutes after any reinstall - prior to ICS, they got frozen with Titanium Backup, after ICS they just got disabled.

Interesting that they're at least checking for the root status of the phone. It's easy to make conspiracy theories but I'd tend to wonder if they're just collecting information about the customer base, seeing what people are doing with their devices. Usually companies don't actually want to invite PR headaches, and aggressively targeting root users would certainly be a headache since the enthusiasts are going to be their most vocal customers.

Of course they might well be trying to reduce warranty costs or something, but I suspect they're just doing some bulk customer profiling (e.g. "hmm, 15% of our customers are root users on locked phones, maybe we should up the advertising on developer editions").
