I was looking through this thread and it seems that some people are having issues, myself being one of them.

It seems safe. It took me a few tries only because I wasn't paying attention to my phone.

sorry for the side question but...

i've heard that if you root with kingo it shouldnt trip knox and knox will only trip after you flash a rom or recovery. is that true?

It didn't trip Knox for me. But I had to install a program called safestrap. To be able to install a custom rom. I haven't read up 100% on safe strap. But i believe it's the only way to get a custom rom without tripping Knox on a non dev unit.

Beware: Kingo might be sketchy. And why wouldn't a free root service be suspect? See androidnews.co.in/2013/11/08/psa-use-kingo-root-vroot-root-android-device/

1 March 2014 was the last post, and a person with 2 posts both on beware of rooting from an article from Nov 2013? Not buying it, if it were a problem it would have been found by now. How about a new post on how to root Lollipop when it comes out.

Doesn't work on latest update anyway right?
