I recently upgraded to NH7 using Odin and lost my Towelroot not surprised I knew this will happen now wondering if I can Odin back to my previous firmware NB4, is this possible via Odin or I am stock on 4.4.4 for good.
Try towelroot V3 if that doesn't work then yeah you're pretty much stuck unless you use another root method like cf-auto root and trip your Knox counter
Anyone had any success rooting 4.4.4 with Towelroot V3
why are you trying to root with that? this is a T-mobiel device with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.

look into it. really easy!
When going from NB4 to NH7 and loosing root all I did was reinstall the SU app from the play store, and root was restored. Originally had used cf-auto root last year to root.

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.

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

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

Does anyone know if flashing the stock tar in Odin will trip knox?
No if it's Samsung original tar it won't trip knox

How, and what is Odin? I rooted and now I want to revert back and unistall root. I don't have the time for flashing, TWRP and I acted too quickly rooting via Ping-pong root.
Still rocking the MDL bootloader with MK2 modem. Been running latest 5.1.1 roms and not really having too many issues but I keep seeing people saying they upgraded BL to the latest for their variant(On the i9505 forums). I dont care about tripping knox or anything. Would it be worth it to odin NK2 and just start fresh with the latest firmware? Trying to get the most out of this device without getting into another payment with Tmobile.
Thanks!
Let's say you upgrade your MDL bootloader, and upgrade to Android 4.4.4 (NK2) -- would the only way to downgrade back to MDL be to flash the MDL bootloader to override the NK2 bootloader which would then in turn allow you to install the entire MDL rom?

No once you upgrade past MDL to a knox boot loader there is no way to downgrade. At which point I don't think you could run an MDL based Rom because of the modem(not sure why you would want to anyways). I'm asking about upgrading for better compatibility with the latest roms available (5.0/5.1)
