ROOT P605 4.3 BMJ9 and keep Knox 0x0 using Towelroot

shayind4 · Jun 15, 2014

Hi all

I have just rooted P605 4.3 BMJ9 with TOWELROOT by Geohot, Note is rooted and Knox is 0x0. Root problem solved. It was released today for S5. According to Geohot, it should work for several android phones. I have not tested it on 4.4.2 but it's likely to work. I will use Mobile Odin pro to update firmware to 4.4.2 and then flash bootloader separately just in case.

PS: I was on 4.4.2 NEE but downgraded to 4.3 NEE and then back to my region BMJ9 BTU.

Here is the xda thread:

The website is: Towelroot.com

Use SuperSU from:

Thanks a million Geohot!!!

Edit: Towelroot works on 4.4.2 NEE. Rooted and Knox 0x0.

Tried on a p600 and unfortunately it did not work for me

Well that is a damn shame.... Are you running 4.4.2 or 4.3 hawkeye680?

'Should support all phones < jun 3 2014'

"if this doesn't work on your phone
e-mail my gmail geohot+towelroot
with "adb logcat" output and build
and we'll see what can be done"

Perhaps we can get a few logcats going and see if he could add support for the Exynos or Galaxy Note 2014 at some stage...

Stock 4.4.2. Sorry, I don't know how to do a logcat. I've rooted my OG Droid, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Vzw Note 3 though so I can follow instructions if I can find some.

No problems, thanks for your help.

I haven't needed to collect any logs before, but there is a decent tutorial here that mentions the several methods.... It can be done under ADB or various apps in the Playstore can also do it.

I will also look into the root on my 4.3 version with Towelroot and get the logs to send to Geohot, in the next 24hours.

I too failed to root with this new method. I have a p600 (US) on 4.4.2.
Has any one on P600 that's still on 4.3 tried?

Is it possible to Odin a p600 back to 4.3?

This worked with my SM-P607T!

Towelroot just rooted my SM-P607T. Knox Warranty Void remains 0x0. Android 4.4.2.

SuperSU has issues. Won't download / install the binary. Says "Installation Failed!" even though apps are requesting and I am authorizing Root. I installed SuperUser by ChainsDD in the meatime.

I installed Wanam, enabled 4-way reboot menu. Working lovely.

Gotta hand it to GeoHot.

Same here: P605 on NEE 4.4.2, said it rooted, Knox still 0x0

Maybe the binary can be manually installed?

Has anyone removed the Knox stuff as suggested by SuperSU?

Try the latest version from Chainfire's site - http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip Open or extract the file and go to the "common" folder; the SuperSU apk is there. I had to do this for my Note 3.

When I initially ran SuperSU (before the Binary update failure) it recommended silencing / disabling the Knoxx stuff otherwise it would complain there-after. I did so --- no issues so far.

Knox still nicely at 0x0?

SAMSUNG so WROOOOOONG

And in my "noobness", Samsung said that ANY attempt to root or mod the tablet, KNOX counter will be set to 0X1 and Geohot proof them wrong BIG THUMBS UP 4 U:good:.... Pitty this root method is a bit to late for me LOL!!!! im sitting on 0X1, hope some1 will proof Samsung even more wrong about setting 0x1 to 0x0, I know I read about the "e-fuse" and all but one never know the brilliance of the other. Once again good job Geohot.
