Have any of you gotten to this screen? I went to update binaries and it said it would attempt to turn off knox. I canceled the process, but still it's interesting.

It asked the same for me, I just said yes, although for some reason binaries seem to fail at updating. But when using an app that requires root, Super SU still asks to allow root to tha app. I also used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze three apps relating to Knox. You can also do that as well, just to be safe.

I clicked okay. No matter what SuperSU doesn't update, but still works.

That was my plan, but I figured I'd poke my nose around to see what others had done. New device, might as well be cautious.

There's another thread here with a link to a SuperSU app that will not fail to update.

Just FYI it was not actually a link to the SuperSU app the user just stated that he went to the website and downloaded the latest SuperSU files and manually installed SuperSU and then the updated apk. As you said after installing the new SuperSU.apk version it updates properly.

What was the point of this post?

No link provided, no new info provided, so what's the point?

THIS thread isn't about failure to update, so I believe you are in the wrong thread.

Here is the link... And by the way you open the zip with the normal file manager and extract the files and then when you're in the folder find he apk and just install it. It not rocket science.

    Yes I did it. It's safe to do and it does not increase the counter
