Question about Root and KNOX

Hi all.

I'm new to all this rooting business. I have a Note 3 device and what i would like to achieve is to have rooted phone with KNOX working on it. Can KNOX work normally after rooting? First of all i would like to root my phone only to have full control over apps privileges (app ops). I'm not interested in custom roms or any other activities of that sort. So my question agai is can i use KNOX after rooting the phone? Is it possible just to disable KNOX's notification without disable it from working on a rooted device?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] boloboss:
Are you sure about it? I understand all that "flag" concept and what's the result of it which is making KNOX permanently useless. What I can't find anywhere is can KNOX still work on rooted phone. Alll the threads are about does rooting trips KNOX or not (trips=flags). None of them clearly says can we still use KNOX after root, if somebody choose to use it.

My SM-G900T rooted just fine with Towelroot

I got SuperSU from the Play Store and it installed ok, version 2.0

Didn't update the binaries but it still runs ok

Just hit cancel when I got the message about Knox being detected

Ran SU and disabled Knox when the prompt appeared

Three days later, everything seems fine

When will this support Moto G? Is it possible?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
Knox has two components. One is in the bootloader and checks the integrity of the recovery and kernel. If it sees anything has changed at that level it trips the knox flag immediately, which is irreversible. The second element runs when the OS is up and running and its main task is to monitor the activities of the apps running on your system and shut them down if they act "suspiciously". When you are rooted and install SuperSU, this second element of knox keeps detecting the background root activity and shuts them down and gives you warnings. I haven't seen it anywhere that this can result in actual tripping of the flag but I think there is a high level of risk there if you let root and knox exist concurrently. So if I were you, I would root, disable knox via SuperSu, make all the changes that I want, disable updates, then enable knox and immediately unroot. I am not sure why you want knox to run on your system but it is partially designed to block rooting.

Root Checker, Adfree Android, and Titanium Backup all say I have root access. Trying to install SuperSU now so I can manage root access. Right now root seems to be unlimited, so any app that requests root just instantly gets it. Seems a little dangerous to me.

Be sure to get SuperSU. It's very important to have so it can deny/grant access by the apps it should. Be sure when loading it updates binaries. If it "struggles" a little or doesn't update binaries (or anything else that looks fishy) uninstall it & reinstall it. I had to do this last Monday after successfully getting towelroot.

Strangeness after root...

This maybe just me but I'm doing some testing now, I've got a S5 SM-G900W8 version and rooted with v1 of towelroot. I've noticed a couple of odd things, 1st, a couple of times my screen just went blank, home and task buttons light up but nothing on screen, have to do a full battery pulled to get things back in order, the other thing is it doesn't seem to want to stay in LTE mode, keeps dropping into H+ mode for data connection. Blank screen has only happened a couple of times and seems intermittent, it's never happened before just started after rooting, maybe it's coincidence. The LTE is more the issue, so I did a full unroot and have been keeping an eye on the device, so far, no blank screen and LTE seems to be much more stable, only time it drops down to H+ mode is when I'm in the basement of my house, weird.

Anyone having similar issues?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sashusmom:
No, root is not needed. I used an app called catlog, 1-run catlog, 2-attempt to root, 3- when phone reboots, open catlog, save the log and you can send it right from the app. Use the menu button (soft key to the left of the home button) and all of your options are there.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
You're "lucky" I just sat down at the computer as you sent that last post so I can reply quickly. What device/phone are you trying to do this on? If it's a Galaxy S4 (like mine) the Bootloader is Locked! So is every other S4 on VZW or ATT. ROMs are a NO GO. Towelroot only ROOTS the phone. There were probably (at this point anyway) 100's of posts of people asking and others telling this the past week that No ROMs can go on the S4 until the Bootloader can be unlocked (the Verizon/ATT models). If you have a different carrier I can only give you 'so much' advice.

The only thing I've done is towelroot (then Root Checker) > SuperSU (

very important

to have SU) > ES File Explorer > Root Browser & Titanium Backup (Pro) and so far I've loaded & explored Xposed - which can only be loaded with root. Titanium Backup was the primary reason I wanted root as not only does it back up apps, it also backs up app's data which is what I wanted. The lack of being able to install any ROMs at this point is not a big deal to me. I just got my S4 May 3rd and the quad core processor vs dual core on my S3 is an enormous improvement in how fast this thing moves...but it does use more battery :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LEDAHGRIM:
Is the L70 D320 (Mexico) supported? I just tried towelroot and after clicking "Make it rain"

Sorry for my error in my earlier reply to you. I replied to your reply & didn't see you have ATT (I just went back in the thread & see that now). That bootloader is locked, which you are probably aware of, which may prevent some of the ROMs you want.

My experience with Safestrap is limited & I apologize if my comments were incorrect. I also didn't mean to yell with some words in CAPS. Hope you weren't insulted. Did SuperSU load up ok for you? Be sure to check what it is automatically giving access to and what apps you will be prompted to allow access.
