I think I can answer my own question: it doesn't seem to work. If there ever is a No Knox root for 930F, it will probably come out of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/knox-exynos-root-method-via-engkernel-t3423438, and - unfortunately - it does not look like it will be any time soon. And if they are successful, it looks like it wont work for 930FD (one of the few instances, it seems, where there is a difference between 930F and 930FD...).

I am on PJ2. I keep reading of people being able to downgrade but I thought it wasn't possible yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] epicman_1200:
I've been reading that people are having major problems downgrading to PJ2. I do not believe you can downgrade from PJ2 effectively. I think you should wait untill the next root method comes out to root PJ2 or wait till an android nougat root method comes out. I would sit back and relax and avoid possibly bricking your Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I heard one person tried to downgrade from PJ2 and right after it finished flashing, The phone because unresponsive and wouldn't even turn on.

No you can not maintain root whenever flashing different firmware, you have to re-launch the root.bat and install superSu

Not sure if you read my post directly before yours, but as of today, you cannot root your G930P running the PK1 firmware. Anything newer than PJ2 cannot be downgraded to the version that can be rooted (PE1).

hi. i didnt want to enter in xda becouse i was insulted by chainfree developer and i defend myself and insult him.

I enter agaim becouse i read your topic root without trigger knox, so root and no warrantly void, root no knox trigger.

i want to ask how is that possible, on samsumg s7, becouse chainfree developer lie me that when samsung s7 is rooted knox is tripped. so make ir simple: you coment that rooting and will not void garrantly and knox will not be trigger. i cant belive becouse from some inhuman other peoples are insulted what inhuman and peoples need to defend themself. i know it is possible to root without trigger knox. man can you confirm that follow your step it will not trigger knox, becouse how i say chainfree developer coment me that when root is detected knox is trigged. i want root my samsung s7 but i dont eant to trigger knox ans if i know that samaung will come with knox i will not buy it, becouse i find that samsung keyboard is sending all my data to who know where and im seeling advance permission program, becouse i have vodadone spain and other spy program that i want to disable permission and i will tell others, i try app ops permission and what i found is that os android use microphone illegaly, so samsung can record you when they want and you will not see it.

and peoples they spy on you. to the developers of xda, if this person say he root his samsung s7 and no knox trigger, then delete all another false post of peoples false complaining that knox has be trigged, all internet is full with lie, do this, do other and then knox will be not triggered and in real knox was trigged. if this really work then someome need to backup his work to make future update work and no knox trigger. the humankind need you.

anyone have updated links to these downloads?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] epicman_1200:
hello.

I am sorry I have been inactive in the past few eventful months.

so the reason this doesn't trip Knox is because you don't have to install a new bootloader in order to initiate the root. this method isn't a root per say. however, it does allow you the access a rooted phone would. How these method works are we push a developer firmware image to the device using Odin. this doesn't trip Knox. it treats it as just a firmware update.

Hi,

is there a way to improve the performance of the camera?

like improve the shuttle speed ? faster reaction time ? :confused: :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
You mean shutter speed? No, at the moment there is nothing you can do to speed it up. Especially when taking pictures where the light is low, the camera switches to night mode automatically, making the shutter speeds extremely slow. EXTREMELY ANNOYING, making the camera COMPLETELY USELESS for indoor shots. I think the way the IDIOTS at HTC were reasoning was that this would be a good alternative to the LED light the old TyTN had.

[sarcasm]This plus the disabled multimedia and 3D acceleration sure makes the TyTN II a device very well suited for business.[/sarcasm]

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
i agree, with a 3 mp camera with af and with a reaction time of a 19th century digital camera dosnt really do much
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Fiftypercentrick:
I don't think we'll have too much luck.

Like a normal camera the shutter needs to be open longer to capture a darker image. Sans a flash, I don't think too much progress will be made when it comes to night/dark images and capture speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
I would be happy if they fixed the auto focus problem I show here, and allowed night mode to be switched on and off manually.

well we can just hope they come out with someting to solve the problems or make more improvement to it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luzigno:
Hello everyone, a few weeks back my cellphone caugh a virus that everytime i was connected to the internet would begin to show ads and download and install more apps. So I tried to erase it doing a hard reset just to discover that the virus was still downloading stuff and show ads even after the hard reset. So i checked here and there and it seemed that the only way to kill it was to flash the rom from my phone. So i got the ROM from my phone, downloaded SP flash tools and installed the drivers for my phone. And after I tried to flash it the phone would just turn the screen and keep like that, screen on but all black. I tried a few times to re flash it, with no change so i tried to format and flash it again but now the screen wont even turn on. Its there a way to un-brick the phone or is it dead for good?. Even though I cant turn on the phone or screen, when i plug it to my pc it is detected but when i try to flash it or do anything with SP flash tools it doesnt start as if the phone wasnt plugged in, I also noticed that the red light of the cam is on.

Thanks beforehand.
