I am considering buying this device and this procedure looks really great but I still have one question:
Is it possible to have a custom recovery (CWM or TWp) without tripping Knox warranty ??
If not is there another possibility of doing a nandroid backup/restore (Still w/o tripping Knox) ??
What about flashing a custom ROM (Still w/o tripping Knox) ??
Thanks in advance.

These are interesting questions I also would like to know, since there are also a lot of unconfirmed rumors about KNOX.
Actually you could root the device with towel root and then install terminal emulator and busy box. After that you have the ability to use the needed commands like dd, format, mount and so on. One important question is still unanswered: Can a custom recovery be applied using dd command? AFAIK KNOX gets triggered when flashing an unsigned kernel through ODIN (recovery or OS), means here the bootloader has control. It is unclear which actions trigger KNOX when done on OS level (terminal emulator)...to remove system apps doen't seem to trigger it.
And I think to apply a custom ROM (I mean its files) should work when still using stock kernel....maybe somebody can add some comments / correct me if I am wrong...
I have installed towelroot on my 605 and not tripped knox. However, the build changed from 'official' to 'custom' . Tried to fake it back to official using wanam. However, when I checked for updates under settings. it says my device has been modified , there will be no ota updates.
Can anyone advice how to correct this situation?

I'm using NE2 right now (not sure if NF2 can really be rooted, because the kernel is >June 3rd).
You can do CWM / TWRP Backups!
I rooted the NE2 ROM with towelroot and SuperSU.
Installed 'Online Nandroid Backup *ROOT' and BusyBox (Stephen) and there you go.
Still Official / Knox 0x0

Where did you find out that the kernel is beyond June 3rd? The ROM is released after June 3rd.
And how many times I have to tell you that towelroot works with the NF2. "English motherf**! Do you speak it?" Or maybe people just can't read?
And yes I have tried it and it works, many others have tried it and it works. I'm using NF2 and rooted, many others are using NF2 and are rooted with KNOX 0x0.
If you still are in doubt, I don't mind. It's not mine problem if you or someone else does not want to update (and/or) root NF2.

'In fact, Geohot claims that any Android device with a kernel built before June 3rd (anything running 4.4.2 or lower, basically) should theoretically be rooted by Towelroot.'

Don't know what build date it is (kernel or ROM).

I don't see 'many others'.

Don't like forums? Don't visit them! It's just a question.

Have you seen anyone complaining that it wouldn't work? There would be a sh*tstorm of complains if it wouldn't work or trip KNOX.
I like forums, but I don't like when people are making assumptions, without any facts.
I also dont like to tell people over and over again same thing that has been solved and discussed before.
For sure I like this forum and I like to help people, but sometimes it's frustrating when people refuse to believe something, no matter how many times you tell them.

Great thread to catch up on how to gain root without blowing your warranty.
One question I have is my tab is running this modem P605XXUBMJ4 (full detail on the device below), how do I know if this modem work with the Nordic NF2 modem P605XXUCNF2 I'm about to flash over? or is it a silly question and they all just work?
Edit: Tried it and it seems to work fine except i'm missing the write on keyboard. I figure if the worst happened I can downgrade.

Anyone....with Verizon P605V can confirm after doing this they can obin twrp 2701...?
Verizon does not play fair locking boot loader...I bought mine with 442 and already have SU & root but I want a custom rom would like to know upgrading my NC2 firmware to the one post in OP (NE2) will let me go next step to flash twrp
It is not possible to install a zip with stock recovery (AFAIK)
If you install a custom recovery it will trip Knox !!:crying:

17The why
A lot of this has been said in other threads, however I decided to gather all the up-to-date (as of Jun 17, 2014) instructions and info in this thread to alleviate fears of the infamous 'KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x1' and help people with the process. People with tripped KNOX can of course use this as well, however it won't untrip their devices, duh.
The cheers
First of all big cheers for Pinkie Pie (person who discovered the Linux kernel vulnerability that makes rooting without tripping KNOX possible), geohot (person that used the vulnerability to make a rooting app), chainfire (developer of SuperSU), rovo89 and Tungstwenty (developers of Xposed). Go and donate to these guys if you can!
The what
This post will tell you how to upgrade your P605 to 4.4.2, if you haven't already. And how to install SuperSU and Xposed all the while keeping your KNOX counter at 0x0, CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official and SYSTEM STATUS: Official!
Note: The versions in this text are just for reference - telling you what versions already worked. New ones will surely also work, so you should usually download the newest available.
The how
Firmware
- 4.4.2 NEE P605XXUCNE2 (any of the current 4.4.2 firmwares should be fine, although Samsung might use an updated kernel for the future versions, disabling towelroot)
- From http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53092676&postcount=1
- Simple instructions available here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30325 (you can also download the firmware from here, but download is slow for free accounts)
Root
- From http://towelroot.com
- No special instructions (it's a 1-click root)
SuperSU
- Version 1.99.rc5 from http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/
- Extract Superuser.apk (in 'common') from the zip, install and run
- Answer yes to the Disable KNOX prompt (don't worry, KNOX will not be tripped)
Xposed
- From http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer (version 2.6.1)
- No special instructions
The victory
Congrats! Now you should be on a rooted, SuperSUed, Xposed KitKat with warranty left intact! However before sending it to Samsung, e.g., for repairs, you should flash your original firmware, of course.21
Just Download specified zip and extract superuser.apk from common folder and install as normal program, don't download play version1
You can wipe the tablet from recovery:
- Turn tablet off
- Turn it on holding Volume Up + Power Button until you see something on the screen
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Reboot
NEE will be fine for all P605, however I don't know if it works with something like P605V (US Verizon).1I just upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4.2 two days ago as soon as Samsung released 4.4.2 for my region (Malaysia).
When I click make it ra1n, I get "This phone isn't currently supported"
TowelRoot 3.0
P605XXUCNG1
3.4.0-2955515
KOT49H.P605XXUCNJ1
MDF v1.0 Release 2
Have a look HERE, there is a procedure to do it :good:
