What is the best practice procedures from going from root de la vega MI7 running wicked rom knox 0x0 to a current kitkat recovery, bootloader, kernel, rom... I no longer care about knox.
If someone can give me just the basic steps I can figure everything else out but I am confused if I cf autoroot or after upgrade to kitkat and what can or cant be done in odin or what would be the best method to go straight to current builds...

The very best thing you can do if you don't care about knox is to go to
http://SamMobile.com and download the official kitkat NF9 4.4.2 stock
firmware to start with. You can also download it from this link below:
http://tinyurl.com/of4dgnr
Use Odin to flash this firmware. (you cannot flash this using twrp/cwm)
Be sure to do a full wipe before odin flashing.
Then you need to flash cf-autoroot and twrp custom recovery.
Here are the direct download links for cf-autoroot and twrp custom recovery.
Use odin to flash both cf-autoroot and twrp but flash cf-autoroot first.
CF-Autoroot:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...mo-smn900t.zip
TWRP custom recovery:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ltetmo-4.4.zip
Once you have rooted the phone and flashed twrp recovery you are
ready to go, and you can then flash any of the custom roms available
here in the Note 3 N900T threads.
Good luck.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to help.
I just got an s4 on tmobile and I have some questions. I tried rooting it and ran into an error. I found an answer online, which was to flash a stock 4.3 rom via odin, then try the CFT autoroot. So it's all good and I'm rooted. I just have some questions:
1. Why was I able to flash a rom via odin, when all the rom installation guides I see require a CWM or some other recovery?
2. When I try to boot up into recovery I think it's the stock recovery and not a custom recovery that allows me to install a zip. When I used CFT auto root, I saw it booted into a custom recovery to root, did it just get deleted after that?
3. How will my root work with the 4.4 ota? When I check for software updates it says my phone has been modified so they aren't available. So how can I get the ota? Am i better off flashing a custom 4.4 rom? I want closest to stock as possible, so if you have any recommendations for stock 4.4 roms that would be great. Or can I flash the 4.4 stock rom as I did with odin?
4. How does tethering work with root? If I have unlimited data with 2.5gb tethering data, now that I'm rooted, can tmobile tell I'm tethering if I'm using a root tethering app?
Again thank you very much for your help.
1. You did not flash a ROM with Odin, it was firmware.. Very different
2. Yes, I believe that's what cf-auto root does
3. Yes you can flash a 4.4 firmware like you did with 4.3 as long as its for your device, or flash a custom recovery and then a 4.4 ROM
4. Not too familiar with this, but it might be possible to get around it

Awesome thank you. If I flash the official 4.4 firmware for my device, will I keep my root?

No if it is an untouched fully stock rom/firmware but there will be rooted versions of the stock firmware/rom.
Stay with root, you will be better off, custom roms are usually available within a day after ota updates

Wanting to drop stock(latest) back onto my phone as the person buying it wants that. I want to say I remember reading I needed a newer bootloader for 4.4.2. I got my device on launch and got tired of waiting and went to CM11.
What if anything other than clearing data/cache and flashing the stock deodexed/rooted ROM would I need to do? If there is a bootloader, is it a separate odin file? or flashable .zip?

If you're on 4.3 still you will have to Odin a stock 4.3 firmware on to the phone. You can not have a custom recovery on the phone so the Odin way will also replace the custom recovery with stock recovery. Then once your phone is stock, you can then take the update to 4.4.2
If I'm not mistaken, you should download the 4.4.2 fw and Odin that on you phone as well. Even though you are Odining your new fw, the phone must be fully stock or that update will still fail.

Well I was on 4.3 stock then went to Cyanogen 4.4.2. I've now got the deodexed/rooted stock 4.4.2 from the forum here and was able to boot it using leankernel. It works and the buyer is satisfied with it. He know how to flash updated ROMs so he can change later anyway. Thanks for the response though, I was thinking noone was gonna answer.

If you want the newest/latest official stock N900T KitKat firmware why not do the following:
You need to download and Odin flash the official stock KitKat N900T NE6 firmware.
Here is the direct fast download link for it:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537528
The above zip file also contains Odin, CF-Autoroot and TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery.
Be sure to go into recovery before Odin flashing NE6 and do a factory data reset
and a full wipe. Optional: Then Odin flash cf-autoroot and the TWRP 2.7.0.1.
If you want more information and or instructions here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...60&postcount=2
If you want the older official stock N900T 4.4.2 NB4 KitKat rom you can
download it from: http://tekunix.com/downloads/TMB-N900TUVUCNB4-20140305155920.zip
and Odin flash it instead of the stock NE6 official N900T firmware.
Both the older and newer official Kitkat stock roms come with the required bootloaders/baseband.
Good luck!

So clear data/factory reset and clear cache in recovery. Reboot into download and flash NE6, then cf-autoroot, then TWRP? I didn't see you say exactly when to flash NE6.
hey guys,
I need help asap! I tried using the video on this website to root my tmobile S4. I downloaded Kies, Odin 3.07, ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip, and CWM as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-jfltetmo.tar, I did NOT install triangle away( i forgot). I went through the steps and passed in Odin. then, when I pulled the battery and booted in CWM i couldnt find the file so i went to the store to buy a sdcard. when I came home i re-ran through Odin and found the root zip on the external sdcard. I successfully installed the root zip and clicked reboot. my problem arose when it showed a "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" in red, and a "SET WARANTY BIT: KERNEL" in yellow. it seems to be frozen in this screen and i can only use the CWM and Download mode. I have tried re-using Odin .
Please help!!
That's an old root method. You can either
1) flash a custom ROM and go about your business
2) Odin back to stock firmware and root with cf-auto root or towelroot

1) You can find tons of Custom ROMs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development
You usually flash them to your phone via a Custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Or, is some cases you can use ODIN. Read, Read, Read, Read before your flash. It is very easy to do, but you need to understand what you are doing. All Custom ROMs come pre-rooted.
2) You can download a stock ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Or, you can use Kies to download and install the most recent firmware for your phone.
TowelRoot is a new option for rooting stock ROMs that are version 4.4.2 (KitKat). This method of rooting doesn't trip the Knox flag.

Thanks for replying however, you do not flash custom ROMs via Odin, you need a custom recovery like twrp or cwm.. Stock firmware you do flash via Odin.. And their Knox flag is already tripped, wouldn't matter

Thanks for correcting me that most of the time you flash Custom ROMs via a Custom Recovery on the S4.
But, if I'm not mistaken you can flash Custom ROMs via ODIN as long as in the right format and you select the correct partition.
However, most of my Custom ROM history is with a HTC device, so I may be mistaken.

It is possible but 99% of custom ROMs are not made to be flashed with Odin, in the past two years I've only seen about 1. And it is also inconvenient
I'm not rooted but bootloader and baseband numbers are the latest N900TUVUDNF9 . So my next step would be to Odin a custom recovery and flash effortless ROM? How do I root without flashing effortless ROM? SO I CAN BACK UP MY factory ROM?

If you dont care about Knox, simplest way will be to use Chainfires CF Auto Root. As simple as that. I think the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46098939. Do a quick search and you'll get it.
If you do care about Knox, it is a simple but little more tedious process. You'll have to Odin back to NE6, then use Towelroot method to root, then flash NF9 again. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-to-root-nf4-knox-0x0-effortless-nf4-t2846142.
All this has been covered extensively in the forums.
Confused about rooting with T999UVUEOH1
ok
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 Samsung ROM, the phone will have knox. Best thing to do would be to run OTA updates until the phone is running the latest ROM. This will ensure that the phone has the most recent bootloader and modem.
Once updated, you can easily root the phone by flash TWRP for the d2tmo via Odin. After installing TWRP, you can flash supersu 2.45 or 2.46 via TWRP and have root access.
Note that flashing TWRP will trip the knox counter.
Ok
The method I recommended should not cause any loss of data. To be safe, always backup before flashing anything.
Is there any warranty left on the phone? If not, tripping knox isn't going to matter.
Any attempts to downgrade the bootloader may result in a bricked phone.
Looks like the root66 method involves flashing a prerooted stock ROM. If you want to try the root66 method, just make sure the root66 ROM's bootloader and modem are the same or newer than the phone's version. If the phone has oh1, I would not use the root66 method.
Ok
Flashing TWRP and supersu from TWRP is the easiest in my opinion.
Just make sure to get the tar version of TWRP to flash in Odin.

Nahh!! The easiest way is use TowelRoot
Only need to press a button! I'm using that firmware so I CONFIRM that it's working
I guess it depends on the rom. It wouldn't work on stock 4.4.2 for me.
The kernel was patched against Towelroot in 4.4.2. We were never updated past 4.3 so it should work fine.
