[Q] ROM Galaxy Project and Knox

Hi,
I would like to upgrade to 4.3 but without installing Knox ...
So the Galaxy Project ROM seems to be good and let me make a backup and go back to my old ROM if necessary.
But in the list of removed package, I can see some package with "Knox*".
So if I install the patch "REMOVED SAMSUNG APPS", will Knox be installed ?
Thanks.
P.S. : I don't have permission to post at the Galaxy Project.

I maybe wrong about this but this is my understanding.
Knox is only present in the new bootloader of 4.3. If you are currently on 4.1.2 which does not have the knox bootloader you should not be worried about knox. A custom rom based on 4.3 usually doesnt have the newer bootloaders. So u can just flash over your 4.1.2 and keep the current bootloader. Knox apps are pre installed in 4.3. And by removing those apps will not trigger knox counter as you do not have any to trip.

OK but here I want to add apps in which Knox is listed.
So I understand that Knox will not be installed when installing the main custom ROM,
but will it be installed when installing the "REMOVED SAMSUNG APPS" ?

Sorry, I don't undestand english wery well ; so I was not sure.
I thought that installing a app could change the boot loader. It is not so. Good.

OK. Thank's.
Chance the link is on page 2 beacause it would'nt be easy to find it on page 52 ...

1. In order for knox to be tripped you need to have a knox bootloader which is available in 4.3 OTA update or a full firmware download from sammobile.
2. If you are on 4.1.2 now and flashing a custom rom via CWM or TWRP, it does not install bootloaders. So you remain on 4.1.2 bootloader which is knox FREE. Only your rom, modem and kernel is updated to 4.3 or to what the rom developer has preinstalled.
3. By installing "Samsung Removed Apps" doesnt trip the knox counter if u are coming from my point num 2. It basically just install the apps not the bootloader. So knox will not be tripped even if knox apps are installed. Its just a normal app which u can remove later on with no issues.
4. Lastly i have a note 3 as well which i couldnt care less about knox and tripped it the day i bought it. My previous note 2 was never faulty for the whole time i was using it which was more than a year. Get over knox and trip it. Doesnt make a difference. Makes your life easier by not being afraid actually.
Cheers and flash away.

Looks promising. I like that it doesn't trip KNOX but will the "custom status" be a problem?
I'm 7 days into this phone, still have a week to return/exchange it if something is defective. So far it's running fine, dont foresee need to take it back.
But .............. If I did need to return it, is there an "unroot" and/or a way to remove the custom status ?
*** EDIT *** I haven't read all the way thru the root thread, so if my question has already been answered I apologize.

No Custom Status
I have now rooted twice, flashing the firmware posted in this forum in the middle. My phone has not shown custom on the bootscreen once. I also encrypt before I root, so maybe thats it. Who knew you could be encrypted with root?

Have you uninstall all the att bloatware without problems? Or used greenify to improve battery life?

Yes, all the typical rooting items work as they should. You can even flash zips with fireflash, and not trip Knox.

It's NOT in the bootscreen where you can see the custom status. It's in settings / about device / status. In the last line it crearly says "Custom" under Device status.

You'll generally have to manually flash updates once you've rooted, the OTA process will usually refuse to update a device running a modified system image. Not that big a problem, but sometimes it confuses people.

Or, install Samsung drivers, then Odin, and flash a stock image that way to return to stock, then OTA works fine. There is another thread around here with a stock image, I'd suggest anyone looking to return to stock in order to complete an OTA, to review that thread.

Would we be able to use fireflash and keep root if somebody were to get the OTA and customize it for our needs to keep root, etc? I know it's a hard question to answer, but maybe you guys have experience with other locked bootloader devices.

This is similar to how we did it on the AT&T S4 using safestrap to flash touchwiz based roms that were pre-rooted. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to flash non-touchwiz based roms without an unlocked bootloader.

[Kernel/Root] Root for the SM-G530P 5.1.1 [AOI1]

Root method for AOI1 / 5.1.1 for the SM-G530P THIS WILL TRIP KNOX. If you don't want to trip knox don't use this. If you do use it and whine you tripped knox because you didn't read ,we will all point and laugh at you.
Named it TrapKernel because well its not my normal HispAsian Kernel and I listened to a crap ton of Trap Music while doing it.
Thanks to @g.lewarne and his root method with his Unibase and Unikernel for the s6 , we finally have root after I ported it over to us. So be sure to thank him for his work.
What's included:
Auto installation of root and busy box
Kernel set to permissive
Otherwise stock
So here's the deal. Stupid simple. Make sure OEM unlock is checked in dev options if you have it.
1. Put Phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin
3. Connect Phone
4. Put Kernel in AP Slot
5.Flash it
6. Reboot and profit
Notes:
Download SuperSu from the Playstore. Its not included.
Change ro.securestorage=true to false in build.prop to make phone stop forgetting wifi passwords.
Delete the /system/app/SecurityLogAgent folder ot get rid of ratarded system modified warning
Download
Do NOT mirror this link. Period.
TrapKernel AOI1
Thanks to @Newyork! for testing it
​

Source code for permissive for anyone who wants it. Fork, build it, mod it, whatever
https://github.com/ShinySide/G530P_Permissive

I am the first one to be rooted with this above method!
I can confirm that everything works great!!
Thank you @ShinySide :good::good:

I second that!! Working 100%!! Thanks once again!!

Can you please tell me witch other G530 the G530P is most like and the differences. I have a G530P and have been learning on it but don't feel like i want to brick it. Im looking for a CWM version however i seem to be one of the 8 people on earth listing that exact model # G530P ?
Thanks in advance.

Make that 9. I have it rooted but need a cwm or other recovery too.

Friendly warning for people who are rooting the G530P after March 26th, there is a new software version rolling out labelled as APC4. It's still 5.1.1 but there could be compat. issues if updated to APC4. Unknown yet. Try at your own risk.
Thanks again to OP for making this phone rootable lol

My friend tried it just now and she said it did root the device. So no compat issues. People can enjoy the APC4 bugfixes with the AOF8 / AOI1 root kernel.

Not booting
OK, I have a SM-G530P with 5.1.1 AOl1, after flashing this with Odin and it doesn't get past the SprintSpark boot screen.

Clarification needed
Is this 'Permanent Root'? I rooted my G530P using the CF method and when using EFS Pro, it told me that the device didn't have permanent root. Can anyone tell me if CF is permanent or Temporary?

Excuse me for being a a beginner at this but, would I be able to remove the kernel and go back to the original and if so what is the process?

have u heard anything on a custom recovery?

I am so new to this, and in the process of moving some of my pictures to my pc, my folder "Camera" just disappeared. I was dragging specific files over and poof it was gone. I have now spent hours trying to find a program to "undelete" or recover these pics, (((btw iRoot installed onto my PC and them plugged my phone in put SEVERAL apps on my phone without asking permission))) I am now in the process of trying FonePaw Android Data Recovery, but I need to get it rooted. I have version 5.1.1, and I have not had success rooting it. Does this post say that I cannot root it? WAAAAHHHH!!!

Can someone reup the links? They're down. I'd like to root my S6 Active, but can't find the files anywhere but here.

dropfile(dot)to/5Gboiih
dropfile(dot)to/bzMkKJy
dropfile(dot)to/bGUAOGr

File expired

Here is the copy
https://yadi.sk/d/X_hrqvTItZCHP
The most important file is g809ahybridrecovery.tar . I wonder if it's possible to unlock bootloader with it and leave it unlocked... Don't have the phone myself yet.

Did somebody actually try it? Included instruction is a bit unclear about the mechanism itself -
1. Boot hybrid recovery
2. ADB push install-su archive and run it
3. After all - flush included stock firmware - seriously?

Need help
So I followed the included instructions, but Odin got stuck for several hours. Does anyone know how long it's supposed to take to flash the files?
Anyway, I'm not sure what to do with the G890A.zip after I've followed the rest of the instructions either, nor do I know what
3.Connect to PC and open the FIX_ROOT and run it.
4.Verify root, and do any unlock, IMEI CERT READ/WRITE
means.
Sorry for being such a N00B, but if someone could straighten me out on how to do this, I'd appreciate it.

SM-J327T Root Method & Custom Recovery REQUEST

Hopefully now that we got our own set of threads, someone will find root....

Any root methods posted for the SM-J327T will also work for the SM-J327T1 since they are the same exact device. But anyone from the previous thread that was under Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) please continue posting on this new thread. I have requested that a moderator move the old thread to here to avoid any confusion from new people looking for a root method for this device.

I would totally help build a rom for this device, that is once we can root it. However i don't think ill ever be purchasing another samsung again.

Same here, im going back to Motorola.

Any old unlocked phones? DeviceManagement if so pm me about them. Im stuck on metro. Not sure for how much longer though. And I don't know why they insist on locking us out of OUR phones. It is a pain, such a pain. And the reason i even got this phone is to fix my service issues. However they are just as bad.

Yes we use odin. odin is included in the zip file.but i have just tested it and it fails to flash because the bootloader is locked.

Any root methods posted for the SM-J327T will also work for the SM-J327T1 since they are the same exact device. But anyone from the previous thread that was under Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) please continue posting on this new thread. I have requested that a moderator move the old thread to here to avoid any confusion from new people looking for a root method for this device.

The bootloader is probably unlocked on that model. Apparently all international bootloaders are unlocked for Samsung.

i am not totally sure that its unlocked. our device has a exynos chipset and for some reason it is locked. but i am starting to think that samsung messed up some code so even if your flashing something knox wont trip for some reason. but if anyone has the money feel free to test the international version that will be the only way to know for sure.
