Hey guys
I don't currently have this phone model, but my friend wants me to root and install a 4.4 rom on it. Just have a couple of questions.
Would saferoot or cf-autoroot both work? I have no experience with either so if someone could recommend one over the other that would be great. I'm a little more experienced with saferoot since I'm recommending it for people who took our 4.3 OTA. Never actually used it.
Also for us Verizon folks, we got locked bootloaders in the update. I know that Knox is included in the update, but am I able to still install a custom rom over it? I understand the Knox counter will be tripped, but I'm not concerned about that. Just don't want the phone to soft brick from an installation.

Cf auto root works. You can still install custom roms if you trip Knox

and have a device status read "Normal" ?
Mine reads "Modified". What steps do I need to take?

Could try to Odin back to stock firmware and then follow Mr. Robinson's thread for his already injected Rooted Roms.
But keep in mind once you have a different recovery other than the stock one you'll still be considered Modified.
Thank you. Looks like I will wait for next update an decide if is worth to unroot. Currently im on stock firmware with ota root keeper used before last update. Rooted with exynos abuse.

Sounds like a smart plan.
Flash to K8, root with exploit, use OTA rootkeeper. That's what I did and mine still reads normal even with root enabled. But honestly that is the best rooting method without using a different recovery and tripping your flash counter.

I want to Root my wife's Sprint Note 2. I recently updated her phone to 4.3 through KIES. I have been searching for about an hour now and I don't see the best way to root this phone. I have read up on the Kingoroot and Chainfire methods. Neither one are very specific on if they work with the 4.3 update.
I really don't care at all about tripping the Knox counter, I just want the phone to be rooted with custom recovery. I am sure the answers are there, I just don't think I am using the right terminology to find my answers.
Kingoroot works fine. I along with many others have used it. For custom recovery just use odin to flash what you want. There is a guide on what knox files you should remove. Louforgivenot is the op of it. It is either in general or q&a

Thank you for the info...I had a feeling that was the way to go! One more quick question, can I flash a 4.1.2 rom after rooting?
You dont need to even root to flash a rom just odin the recovery. Bootloader and baseband/radio from mk4 work with all roms i have tried touchwiz and aosp.
FYI DONT ROOT 4.3 IN RECOVERY.

Hello everyone!
I'm about to upgrade my device, will get a S4, but I had previously installed custom roms in the past, and the counter has tripped, right now I have the 4.3 update, do you guys know if it wont brick my device? I only have root access and disabled the knox security, besides that, I'm running with everything stock
Thanks for your help!

Question.... I have the NC2can I just Odin twrp and flash a rooted knox free custom rom and all is good?
Yeah, just remember that you will trip the Knox counter

Yes understood, not worried just thought something may have changed in nc2 since nobody posted how to root it? Or people prolly still using the other 4.3 root method or removing knox and flashing superSU. Thank you sir!
There is a method posted to root, but since you want a custom rom its really unnecessary

Been trying to figure out but mixed messages.
I know if I upgrade my at&t n3 phone to kk, I am screwed. So I rooted and froze the at&t upgrade till they fix things. Kk downloaded to my 2014 tablet but I keep saying no to the upgrade.
If I let it upgrade will it lock the bootloader or prevent later rooting?
Thanks.

I rooted my SM-P600 after upgrading to KK through kies, I used the custom recovery flash method without any problems.

I update mine to kitkat, followed the above, and gained root. It worked even though I was updated to UBUCND2 (the us edition, not UBUCND1 mentioned in the article).

yeah, I already tripped knox when I rooted in jellybean, so I didn't mind ... but if keeping Knox untainted is important to you, I guess there must be other ways ...

So if I don't upgrade, I can root and get kk without tripping Knox?

If you root, you will trip Knox no matter how it's done. No getting around it.
[ How do you plan on getting KK without upgrading? ]
Now I'm confused.
Wait... Is you N10 LTE or WIfi Only? If you accept the OTA on the N10, YOU WILL NOT TRIP KNOX. If you ROOT YOU WILL TRIP KNOX.
You can have the upgrade to KK without rooting. Just Keis or OTA.
I was meaning rooting then a 3rd party ROM or upgrading Ota, root.

no matter what version you are running. If you root the wifi version, you will trip the knox status no matter what:crying:
