Hi all,
there is a new app for rooting phones, the name is Towelroot and it was made especially for Verizon Glaxaxy s5 but the dev says that every phone with kernel build date < 3 June can be rooted.
With this app you can root Galaxy S4 Mini with kitkat firmware without tripping knox counter. It will stay 0x0 and you will have root access.
First of all you must put a vulnerable kernel with build date <3 june
you can grab one from [INDEX] Official Stock KERNEL collection for Galaxy S4 Mini (Kernel for I9195XXUCNF7 is the one you have to grab to work with towelroot, offcourse if you own an i9195 )
Flash it via odin. Leave everything intact and load the kernel to AP.
After the phone boots, install towelroot, press makeitra1n and you are rooted.
Next step is to install SupserSU from google play.
After all the above steps are done, flash the kernel from your firmware the same way as you did it the first time.
There you go, knox 0x0 and root access.
