Yes your phone is still secure for banking apps, I use CIBC app all the time without any worry. You will not be able to apply auto updates if you root but you can always get the updates on XDA and apply them yourself. I haven't used a stock ROM or Kernel since I bought my first Galaxy S 3 years ago. Besides, if you get the updates from XDA, you will have them about 5-6 months before the auto update program sends them out.

The thing is.. this is an actual different ROM... I just want a root... Anyway... I got it to work CF Auto root worked... Thanks guys :good::highfive:

Ugh I have been contemplating rooting for a couple of days and I am still on the fence about it. I don't know what about it that makes me so nervous to do it. I keep thinking that it makes my phone less secure, even though I know that I just need to pay attention to what I give root access to.

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

Down Grade 4.3 to 4.1.2 Bell Help

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.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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

[Q] Whats the latest way to root?

Before you jump to conclusions.
1. I have been rooting for a long time, I am not new to this.
2. I have searched the forum and all the info I found including mkskips way to root using galaxy toolkit is outdated. Infact I downloaded GTK from skip's site and it doesnt even list 4.1.2 MC2 version on it. It lists MA7.
3. I looked up kingo app but it doesnt mention sprint note 2.
So lets cut to the chase and please let me know what/how are you guys rooting nowadays?

Thanks I saw that but that doestn seem to install custom recovery like twrp or cwm. Earlier methods like one click root/ mkskips toolkit, all used to do it without needing odin. IF nothing else exists, I am fine trying the chainfire method.

The kingo app works I've used it 3 times now

What are links to help me root my phone sorry I'm new at this. Gn2 sprint on 4.3?

I'm still using mkskips toolkit to root my Note 2. Was on MC2 a few days ago and rooted it just fine using the MA7 option which I believe is #92. Did it succesfully 2 times so I know for a fact that it works. Im back on MA7 now but its great to know I can continue using the toolkit if I ever go back to MC2.

[Q] New Phone/Root?

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.

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
