You might check this out over at the T-mobile Section. I have read that some sprint folks have used this but I haven't taken the plunge myself.

Hey guys and girls just joined the site been looking around and reading alot of interesting things.
Like the title says im running 4.1.2 but i hear there might be a release of 4.2 coming the 20th?
I'm wanting to root my phone and join the club. I'm pretty much a newb when it come to this I want to make sure i do everything right when i start the process i'm a truck driver so my phone is a important part of my day to day activity and cant end up bricking my phone.
Ive been looking at youtube vids and reading comments some people having problems and some doing just fine.
Could someone recommend a link one with a video to show the process that would be great, should i wait for a over the air update to 4.2
Sprint won't be going to 4.2 . They are bypassing and the upcoming update will be 4.3. I would wate until the update comes out before you root. That way the roms and rooters will be able to be written and hou can have all the perks of an official 4.3

I disagree. I would root now. It's possible with any OTA update, it could secure the root exploit. And nothing has been really said when any update is coming. Could be a couple weeks or a couple months.
And if you're rooted already, you'll only need to wait a day or two before someone uploads a rooted version of the update to flash.
Plus, if you fubar something, it's likely already been done and you'll be able to find a fix.
And if you do depend on your phone, it's hard to say what things may get borked with the update. So by waiting those few days for the updated rom, you'll find out what is not working and can decide if updating is right for you. Sometimes updates will bork things like GPS.
Personally, I don't see anything you really gain by waiting.

Ditto on rooting before an update. Get root before the Knox **** hits your phone and your warranty is permanently b0rked. Once 4.3 and Knox is on your phone, if you ever root there's chance in hell of ever claiming on your warranty. More likely than not.

What happened with the link being removed for the toolkit download? I watched the video on post #4 seems to be easiest way to do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Is this still a good option for rooting the phone?
Any ideas?
Just got my 4.1.2 note today. Within an hour after bringing it home I found the old toolkit I rooted with my other note before I traded it. Why wait

Not wanting to wait just want an instruction how to I'm a trucker with a lap top and never have Wi-Fi unless I'm at McDonald's so I don't get to check and download what I'm needing to.
I already asked this in the newbie thread but they sent me here...
I'm getting confused after reading countless threads regarding root, s-off, and 4.4.2 so I'll keep my question brief:
Can I get CM11 on my HTC One (Verizon)? I have a stock phone with 4.4.2, not rooted, and s-on. I know s-off cannot be achieved due to root being unavailable at this time. Is there another method to get a custom ROM onto the phone?

You're kind of in a waiting game right now. Sounds like Mobile Tech Videos can get you S-Off...for $75. Beaups has been quiet for awhile, I would assume he's working on an exploit though.

Ok, I kind of figured that was going to be the answer. I wasn't sure if there was some sort of side loading method floating around that I missed. I'm definitely not paying $75 for root. Does the java card method that only costs $25 not work? I'd be willing to pay that but not much more...

I believe it would, but I don't think anyone has successfully gotten a hold of Sonic. I tried back when 4.3 wasn't able to be cracked and Ive never heard back.

There is talk of a guy that says he has an exploit for 4.4.2 but he isn't willing to release it till August. People has linked his twitter where he has talked about it. I know it does no one any good from now till then and I am sire we will get more updates by then and could patch his exploit. So basically a waiting game for people that has 4.4.2. Not Mich else you can do. Worse case scenario is not to take any ota till August and hope the guy releases it.

Yeah I've been following those threads. Let's just hope someone else finds a way to root the darn thing. I'm so pissed at myself that I took the update without thinking about it. The phone works fine without a custom ROM but I just installed an appradio in my car and I want full mirroring. ARUnchained requires root to work....ugh

Trust me most of us are waiting and are on the same boat. I can't wait to put cm11 on my work Verizon phone because the battery life is so horrible and I actually do use the phone for work. On a normal work day from 10-8pm I usually have to plug it up to charge by 1-2pm :-/
Hey guys, I've finally had enough of trying to make my MT4GS work how it should and am finally starting to seriously shop around. I think I've settled on the GS4 but I've been lost wading through hundreds of forum posts. Honestly I just have one question: If I go to the T-Mo store right now today and buy a GS4, is it possible for me to flash the Google Play version of the ROM to the phone? I'm kind of confused with the whole Knox update thing whether or not it's possible, though I did catch the post about not letting the phone update and clearing the cache on first boot.
I know the answer is somewhere spread across multiple posts, but I just wanted to get a definitive answer before I go get the phone. Thanks for your help in advance!
Yes you can.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you can. I bought mine with 4.3 installed. Rooted that, then reflashed stock to get 4.4 when it came out. When I rooted 4.4 I didn't pay attention well enough and used a method that tripped Knox. If you want GPE don't worry, you're gonna trip Knox which is no big deal unless you want the warranty. When I realized I've tripped Knox I have installed 4 different roms including Google Play Edition. I need wifi calling so I'm back to a TW based rom now.

You might want to experiment with it thou. When will someone provide us with an open, unlucked bootloader like t-mobile device?

Dude, how many threads you going to post this in? It's old news - Tmobile got access to a leaked engineering bootloader a while ago. That engeneering bootloader is something that has to be leaked, not something can be developed. In fact Samsung themselves reached out to xda to have those leaked files removed (check their root thread). Sprint will not betting access to a Sprint engineering bootloader. It's just not going to happen.
I do believe that sprint has one for the same reason t-mobile has one (repairs). If we collectively shmooz the sprint repair shops, we might find one, no?

Anything's possible, soooperstar in the sprint s6edge threads says he's got an engineering bootloader and is looking for testers if you wanna be a guinea pig.

Thoughts on Android Pay?
Has anybody been looking at Google's Android pay? Should be for a larger number of phones, I'd be more likely to use this than a Samsung solution.
I bring it up because it makes the issue of tripping Knox irrelevant, at least to me.

The thing is.... Android Pay relies on NFC, so the vendors have to implement that. Samsung Pay works anywhere without any extra vendor implementation.

So which is it? Will it not work on rooted devices or knox tripped devices? If being rooted is the issue, can't we just unroot and then be able to use it?

The current means of gaining root is to use a custom kernel. Installing that kernel, any kernel other than stock, trips Knox. So at this time any rooted device has tripped Knox and unrooting won't change that.

I've heard that its basically impossible to downgrade to 5.0.2 if you've upgraded. So basically anyone who upgraded to 5.1.1 is stuck? Is it just a waiting game now and hoping for a lucky break on 5.1.1 to find/develop a kernel that won't trip knox?
Ive had enough of a 4 hour battery. Im rooting this device and tripping the knox tonight. If i feel like paying for something with a phone, ill run out and buy an iphone.

Does tripping Knox break just samsung pay or does it affect other apps like Google wallet?

That's sooo worthless and a waste of time. Root= not secure AT ALL. There is no way this would EVERRRRRRR be allowed if 1,000,000 people signed it.

How is root less secure? People who have root are more cautious they won't fall for the regular virus tricks, they will probably use adaway which will block viruses, and they will get security patches faster.
And if Samsung isn't convinced by this they should at least open the MST hardware to third party developers so they can make their own payment solutions.
Another thing Samsung could do is allow people who tripped knox but reverted back to stock to use Samsung Pay. Imagine buying a phone on ebay with tripped knox and not being able to use a advertised feature.

I have to agree. Having root doesn't mean my phone isn't secure. In addition, how can I use root to magically make a purchase without taking money out of an account?
If Samsung is worried about someone else making a root app to access my accounts, then that is my own fault. I still should be allowed to use a feature on my phone. I don't like how they think they have the right to tell me what I can and can't do with my 700 dollar device. It's MY device. I'm responsible for anything that happens to it. Period.

Hey guys I've been scouring these posts and am unable to find a way to root my 928 t 5.1.1 I know the previous ways have been patched. Thought I came across a way to route over the computer. I would rather not trip Knox I want to make sure I can still jump to another phone Tmobile contract with Knox tripped. I have been trying King root everyday for a few weeks now to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
I believe you are in the wrong forums, friend. This is for the standard sized edge. Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge-plus
Edit: also, from everything I've read, T-Mobile does not check for a tripped KNOX when you jump.

You are correct. i dont know how many phones i've turned into them for various reasons, the sales people dont care about rooted devices. most of them tell me there's no issues with rooting / not rooting. However, if you are a **** to them, they can refuse to replace the device or take it in for trade / upgrade. I believe it is a company policy to not accept or support rooted / knox tripped devices but this is not enforced.
