And yes, that even includes the AT&T and Verizon Wireless models, whose locked bootloaders have prevented other root methods from working.Īs a heads up, this method utilizes a kernel exploit, which means the loophole that it's using to root your device will probably be closed soon. Thanks to a new root utility called PingPong Root from developer idler1984, almost all variants of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge can now be rooted without tripping the KNOX counter. How to Root Your S6 Without Tripping KNOX So basically, you don't want to trip KNOX if you can avoid it. It also likely means that you won't be able to use Samsung Pay whenever that comes out, since the mobile payment service will probably call on KNOX to make sure that the initial security methods implemented by Samsung are still in place. This is why a tripped KNOX counter means your warranty is void, since there's no way of covering up the fact that you've modified your software.
This fuse cannot be reset, so once it's been tripped, there's no turning back. In general, as soon as any system-level changes (such as enabling root access) are detected by KNOX, a hardware fuse is tripped. To give you a bit of background, KNOX is a security platform for Samsung devices which ensures that no modifications have been made to the system partition, and thus, no potential security vulnerabilities have been created by the user. Both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have had root methods available to them before the phones were even released, but the problem with these existing root methods is that they would trip the KNOX counter on your device.
