Ok guys...so......
i have "Samsung Galaxy NOTE 10.1 (2014 Edition)"
Its a 16Gb LTE tablet, i love it! I likr to draw so i love it even more!!

For long time now i hasitates to root or mess with it, i dont want any funky stuff happening to it (as i said, i love it) but i also have NOTE 3 cell, ant its rooted and works great, and i even got rid of those stock apps!
I want now to do that here also (they are anoying) generally i want more controll over MY tablet.

Also i DON'T want to void KNOX please (is it possible?), and i want to be able to un-root it if i ever need to get it in service or something.

Thanks in advance for helping me!

You can't root without tripping Knox. Root can be undone.

Use Magisk and flash it via TWRP.

For some time you could root Lollipop w/o tripping Knox, but with a high risk of funky things happening, resulting in a brick, and that even weeks after rooting. I think this exploit was fixed by Samsung/Google security patches later.
But in early 2016 you could finally root w/o much danger(but with Knox tripped) and later, after oh so long time, came the first decent custom roms for the p605, by David Mueller.
Maybe the official Lineage has evolved into something useful in the meantime, too. I doubt.
Stock Lollipop on the P605 was by the way the last rom, where SuperSu worked for me, but today you gotta use Magisk normally.
