So I am about to load the ND8 stock tar over my MD4 rom (because I want to ultimately load the latest CM11)... but I am confused.
One of the posts here seems to loosly suggest that after loading the samsung stock tar of MD8, I can simply follow up with ODIN of TWRP. From there I can then load any rooted rom and have root?
Is this right? Seems that in the past, one needed root before installing a recovery.

Yes, but I highly recommend Philz Recovery over TWRP, it has zero problems with TouchWiz and AOSP, TWRP seems to have problems with TouchWiz. Philz also has a root option in the recovery so you can just root your stock ROM and download SuperSU from the Play Store and done.

Thank you so much for the reply! Is it the same if I go to NJ2? Flash the stock and then odin the recovery? Or will NJ2 block me?

Thanks again for your reply. I am trying to find the right "PhilZ" but it seems there is a d2spr and a d2lte version. The spr versions are older. Which one should I go with?

Then just run it through Odin (I suggest you uncheck Auto Reboot and wait until it says PASS and then pull the battery and go into Recovery, go to Philz settings and there will be a ReRoot option. Then reboot and download SuperSU from the Play Store, and you have root).

I had an s4 with ota 4.3 mk2 installed and Knox already tripped. I rooted it using cfauto root, flashed cwm and flashed virgin ROM 3.1. The phone works awesome but I no longer have root for some reason. When I click on superSu it tells me that the binary is not installed
Try flashing the latest SuperSU on recovery.

You may have to wipe factory reset, wipe system then reflash rom, if you want you can nandroid as a backup, TiBu prolly won't work without root.

Try the flashable Superuser app from Koushik and if it does work, then update SuperSu.

Once you have root open SuperSU in your phone and as in the picture

Have you already flashed a custom kernel since
you upgraded to the official 4.3 Jellybean rom?
If not, @jovy23 's stock-modified kernel might fix the root issue
if you are on the 100% stock kernel right now.
Here is the download link for the stock-modified 4.3 M919 kernel:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760972765
Before you flash this kernel it would be best if you odin flashed
cf-autoroot but un-tick the "auto reboot" option in odin before flashing.
After it's flashed remove usb cable & power down the phone using the
power button then power the phone on into recovery.
Then in recovery flash @jovy23 's kernel and all should be good.
Good luck!

I am on a stock unrooted ND8 4.4.2 rom. Tried to update the odex version from my external sd card and it failed. I checked the MD5 and it is correct but the error message is that the "footer Is wrong" and "signature verification failed". What am I doing wrong or does the native hotspot odex file not work with a stock unrooted ND8?

You have to be rooted and using a custom recovery like Philz to flash the hotspot mod or anything else but an official update.zip made to work with the stock recovery.
Use Odin on a PC to flash the latest Philz recovery tar.
Technically, you could flash it with just a custom recovery without being rooted, but someone else would have to answer (or you'd have to test) if it would actually work without being rooted.
You should proudly ask this in the mod's thread.

Thanks for the quick response... I rooted and applied the hotspot mod and everything is working great now.

I've been using PDANET+ FoxFi without a problem. 4.4.2 Stock Rooted.
Which adjustments in the configure option need to be made? I installed the app and am rooted, the app loads and says a network is set up, but doesn't show up anywhere. Thanks

Just grab the Philz recovery that ends in ".tar" and use Odin to flash it.... Or you can just extract the services.jar from the Hotspot mod and replace yours with it with a root browser, set permissions and reboot.

Could this be caused by Custom Recovery TWRP 2.7?
Battery is at 30%, but I don't think it has anything to do with this.

Stock Rom? If so, it will only install with stock recovery.
TWRP recovery only installs custom Rom/s and custom Rom updates (if the custom Rom supports ota updates).

You can't get your MSL without being rooted... Unless you get it from Sprint, lol good luck with that.

I have a SG3 Sprint SPH-L710. I have been flashing ROMS for the past 2 years no Problem.
I tried a few 5.02 Cyanogen ROMS they flash fine and boot. Now when I go back to a Non-Cyanogen ROM it just hangs, even When I tried to do a restore from Phiz it will not boot.
I can load another CM12 ROM and it boots fine. UNrooted and tried to start over using Odin and I can root and load the TAR ROM just fine, but still will not allow any ROMS like Wicked to boot. Installs fine no errors. Just ODIN NJ2 still can't Boot any non-CM12 ROMS. So Basically only Cm11 and cm12 ROMS Will work.
Any Suggestions

Wipe your internal SD card (back it up to your PC first, if possible), lollipop encrypts data on the internal SD and when you flash a new ROM it cannot read the encryption because it doesn't have the key.

After 3 Wipes of the Phone complete format. It finally was able to take the ROMS.
I guess even though the Internal memory was empty, something must have been lingering around.
Thanks for the input.
