Root [Verizon] Odin tripped Knox?

[Mayhem]

So I updated to the "latest" build of KK and lost root. Previously Knox was at 0x0 after using Towelroot. Well that small update broke Towelroot so I had to use Odin. I re-rooted and thought nothing of it.

I downloaded Phone Info (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en_GB) from Play and it shows Knox 0x1. I thought Odin didn't trip Knox but apparently it does.

So since I'm now void on the warranty, anyone got any suggestions on stable ROMs? There's not a stable build of CyanogenMod for klte yet so that's out..

Depending on how you rooted your model of Galaxy S5, using Odin to flash a cf-root kernel will not normally trip the Knox Security counter. However, installing a custom recovery via Odin definitely will trip it. Once tripped, I'm afraid, there is no possibility of resetting it. This will only affect you if you use your phone as a BOOK for work purposes where Knox Security is a requirement and is separate from the standard Samsung flash counter. See...

Yeah, no custom recovery installed. I just rooted it to be able to run Xposed modules. I'm still running the stock ROM.

How did you install the Xposed module?

 

[Mayhem]

I just rooted using Odin and ran the APK for Xposed.

My bad Mayhem!

Just checked with chainfire and the CF-root, flashed via Odin will trip the new Knox 2.0 in S5 firmwares.

FWIW, I rooted using the flash the older kernel method, using towelroot and then flashing back to 4.4.4. I just checked Phone Info and my Knox bit is 0x0.
