So the s5 community got root the other day and the Dev says that it should work on other phones with kernels before June 3 2014 his Knox status also reads 0x0 so I guess his warranty is still in tact..... So anyone wanna try this on our phone and see if it passes through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157

I could be wrong, but I remember reading some S3 users stating it didn't work. It does work on the ATT S4 but ONLY on the NEWEST NC1 firmware update that came out (4.4.2) but did NOT work on the previous NB1 firmware (also 4.4.2).
It is worth a try as it will NOT brick your phone. If it doesn't work it will just let you know it is not rooted.

Many tutorials on rooting Samsung Galaxy S3's are for the SGH-T999. Will those tutorials work for the SAM T999? I'm not sure if my model number is SAM T999, but it does say that on the box.
SGH-T999 is the US Tmobile variant of the SGSIII

That is the tutorial I used for rooting my phone (my box also says SAM T999). It trips the flash counter. Which doesn't matter unless you need to return it. Very easy, impossible to mess up.
SAM-T999, SGH-T999, d2tmo, all the same device.

Hi Guys, just got a note 2, and i have a quick question.
It has L900VPAMC2 verson software on it (4.1.2). Should i hold off doing the OTA if i plan on Rooting and ROM-ing?
Previous experience with Samsung phones tells me 4.3 brings knox, locked bootladers....and problems.
Thanks!
Congrats on your Note 2! Yes you are correct on 4.3 bringing knox and the locked bootloader which means no custom kernels like perseus which is awesome. 4.3 is rootable and I believe you can revert back to MC2. Theres great roms for MC2 and MA7 which im currently on and have the newest MK4 modem installed. Let me know if you want the link to easily root your note 2 using mskips toolkit.

Only reason to worry about MK4 at all is if you intend on running Touch wiz MK4 builds....otherwise if you want 4.4 now just go root and flash aosp.

Yes please! Thanks. I see that Framaroot would technically work, however rooting from the phone itself seems so.....unelegant.
Thanks!

Yeah I love using the toolkit. It installs everything for you so easily including custom recovery. There is no option under sprint mc2 but you can select ma7 and it will root your phone just fine. Tried it a couple times already while on mc2.

Do any of the non-TW builds have any S-Pen functionality (Air Command, etc)?
Hey guys,
I've got a Galaxy S4 on T-mobile in the UK, with the build XXUEMKF. Its Rooted but its running stock JellyBean 4.3 Ive not taken any OTA updates as im looking to install a safestrapped Custom Rom. Just needed some help to make sure I don't soft brick the phone lol.
Im looking to install the Deadly Venom V3.0.2 KitKat SafeStrapped edition in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45657764&postcount=4
Few noob questions though if anyone could help me..
1) The thread title says its for the AT&T version but Im on t-mobile UK, is this going to be a problem or would it still work without bricking the phone?
2) Its got 2 different install instructions, one for people who have the Mk2 build and another process for people with the Nb1 build. I have neither, I have the MKF build..Can I still install this rom on my S4? If so, should I follow the instructions for the Mk2 Method?
3) Im running Stock JellyBean 4.3 right now, can I still install this safestrapped rom or do I need to do an OTA update to the latest KitKat update? Kies says the latest update I can do is Nb3 apparantly?
I hope someone can give me some simple answers to this, Im quite confused. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys
You can flash from 4.3. I'm on MK5 bootloader t mobile and I just clean flashed with no problems so far

The model number is GT-i9505. Only reason I want to use a safe strapped rom was to avoid tripping knox because my phones still under warranty
Should I follow the install method 1 instructions as if my device was a mk2 version straight from my stock 4.3?

Ah I see.. Well not sure I don't think many of us here use that method and I'm not familiar with it.. You should try asking in a safestrap thread if there is one on the at&t forums.. Not sure if it would even work with your model, better safe than sorry!

It will flash on your device (it says so in the OP) as for tripping KNOX I would do what serio suggested
