Hi, I just switched from Sprint GS3 to T-Mobile GS4.
I was rooted on the GS3 using MOAR. My new GS4 has not yet received the 4.3 update. Should I go ahead and root now or wait until it receives the update.?
Also what are the most popular ROM's available?
Thanks, Randy
Do not accept the update. 4.3 has an evil Knox ridden bootloader.

Root with chain fire autoroot.
Then update to the mk2 modem this way, but not the boot loader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

That's the one I was thinking about.
I haven't accepted the 4.3 update because of the Knox. I went through this with the Sprint GS3.
I'm assuming I Odin the Twrp recovery and do the standard re-boot in download mode to flash the new ROM?
I'm in Hawaii so I'm still awake
Thanks everyone

Can I just ODIN the TWRP recovery? I'm more familiar with that method.
I lived in Hawaii before. Aloha. This is the way I would do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005

What is the process for unlocking the bootloader to flash custom recoveries for this phone?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
The Tmobile version does not have a locked bootloader. Root, flash TWRP with Odin or the Recovery Tools app, flash new rom. Root only won't trip Knox but flashing TWRP and a rom will
Thank you guys some people said rooting would trip it

So after I flashed the MK2 modem, I lost my sound completely. No sound would come out from the speakers nor could I call anyone. I need help.
Have you tried to flash back to the older modems?

I know your running cm, but any chance if you know if you are able to run international 4.3 TW roms without data disconnect when the screen is off?
Does not work for me.
Is it possible to down grade Bell 4.3 to 4.1.2 and it to be totally stock. I have tried to Reflash several different fiels to downgrade but it won't do it. Is it possible to do or am I stuck with 4.3
You are stuck until the devs give us a way back. ..
The entire package can be downgraded.... But the bootloader can't..... Yet....g

I believe u can just enter download mode ansd on the top left itll say bootloader model counter etc.

Flashing is no problem...as we can flash any rom....kernel etc.
The trouble is the bootloader...and it's Knox enabled partition...
Once a flag is set...this partition is re-written and an efuse is blown...
The flag removes the ability to downgrade the bootloader ...as it now protects itself and the changes it made...
A real kick in the berries for us...and a huge bonus for Sammy...
So if your bootloader is flagged...the warranty is toast...
Until a really smart group of developers can figure out a fix...we can never revert to stock again....g

With that said about the partition. Can we not just re-partition with odin?

No...
These changes are well below the standard PIT partition structure ....and are likely hard bound on the EMMC...
I've never seen such a malicious piece of code before...
It resists every known attempt to access the bootloader...
I'm working with a developer today in hopes that a bootloader downgrade patch will work...but I'm not gonna count my chickens just yet..
The corporate clowns at Sammy deserve a **** sandwich for this obvious attack on our right to choose Knox or not...
I was never given the chance to "not" take Knox for my device...and they provided no warning about the outcome if the OTA was taken...
Shame on them....g

say i have a bell or rogers i317m and its on 4.3, all i want is to enable to aws frequency for wind mobile, would i still need to downgrade to 4.1 to do that? im not sure if the aws enabling thing requires 4.1, just the unlock?
Im running the MJ4 leak from a few weeks back. Works fine. for those wondering why air command and all those goodies weren't included, you have to buy the note 3 to get them. Good thing our devs ported them. BTW the MJ4 leak is completely downgradeable to 4.1.1 LJ2
How can I flah a bootloader for my i317m from an att bootloader. If I do that and it dont show my knox I can send my phone in and they will cover a repair. I did that with my infuse by accident and dint remember how

The odin back to stock method gets rid of root i think.
Re-rooting isn't that hard, though. Are you on 4.2 or 4.3 bootloader?

Has anyone found a way to root 4.3.3 for the AT&T Galaxy S3? I see there is a way for the Verizon model but can't find anything for AT&T...
It's 4.3, not 4.3.3. Look in the General Section.

CF-Auto-Root worked for me.
Do you have any warranty on your phone? If you do, rooting may trip the knox counter and void the warranty.

We get it. You are very helpful
Cf-autoroot will root your phone but Knox will disable the installing of supersu. So just download it from market and open it. This will prompt you to disable Knox and then you will be rooted
