Confirmed working!
Sorry knew nothing about this Knox warrantee thing. Do you think it will be possible in the future to flash a custom rom etc without voiding this or is it too soon to answer that?
Did the s4 have this Knox thing?

Great Work Chainfire. Confirmed working earlier this morning/.
guys you cannot restore apps with titanium backup until titanium puts out an app update. they have been made aware, and im sure there will be a frix soon,. if you need a backup restored, there is a method listed over in the international note 3 cf root forums...
let the games begin!
we also have working recovery completed today as well - shabby penguin
and also got a return to stock odin package done as well - garwyn
lets blow this device up with some real devs now guys!

Okay so I been testing it for about an hour or two. GPS is fine. Data is fine. Everything is smooth. Volume rocker skip works with the different music apps I use. The samsumg keyboard doesnt have auto correct tho. I dont own anything blue tooth so maybe some other testers can confirm if it works but I dont see why it wouldnt. Also there was no boot anination. It might have been because I chose to install the Saber kernel. I will continue my testing throughout the day. Everything seems perfect so far

Searched and didn't see this thread...Well at least not in Sprint section so here THOU ARE. How to Root very easily and keep KNOX at 0. If later you decide to Flash a recovery or ROM i assume you will trip KNOX.
I don't take any credit for this work. Install KING0APP from link below. Turn on developer mode "app shows you how to do that" Run app with phone connected to computer. When phone reboots you are officially rooted. You can check root with Root Checker from android store.
I successfully rooted and unrooted with his program and didn't trip KNOX. Unrooting does seem to take about 10 minutes. Dont worry its not froze.
The guy has a face book page "second link". Go like his page for more more info and help.

The latest version (1.1.1) of Kingoapp has been posted on their website and is ready for download. It supposedly fixes the restart issue and a few other things.
Just rooted using this, couldn't be easier. Afterward, installed Xposed framework and Wanam module ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496454 ) and now status is official. Glad I waited to root. Now, to see if (or rather when since Sprint/Samsung tends to be slow with updates) updating to kitkat breaks everything.

I rooted with the old version yesterday but kept having problems with SuperSU -- it was out-of-date, and if I updated it from Google Play market it would freeze while updating the binary. So I finally said Screw That, clicked on Unroot, did the Root De La Vega thing (copy files to root of internal sdcard, reboot, erase files and reboot) and that worked fine.
I tried Kingo several times and never got a clean up-to-date install of SuperSU. Everything might be fixed in Kingo now but I really don't care to run those traps again.
I rooted too, how do you install the hotspot? I tried the one from Tim's link and it didnt work.
Yea I posted the new version every where but my own topic. As stated it's on the site.

can this be used from any point your phone is on. Meaning can it be used from any custom rom, even aosp (when devs cook one up?) or even if softbricked?
you just probably have to factory reset for phone to boot correct?
also does this bring back stock recovery if you were running a custom recovery?

Yes, this should be safe to flash in Odin regardless of the Rom you're on. Yes, this is a return to stock mj4. It flashes the modem, firmware, radios, kernel and recovery. This is everything back to stock mj4.

I was on CleanRom ACE 5.0 I think. Then I deleted my EFS data from within the service menu. Then I couldn't get a cell signal.
Today I flashed back to a stock I605VRAMC3 using ODIN. That didn't fix it.
Can you please point me in the right direction on how to fix this?
I've read the forum for about 3 hours and can't find the answer.

No, I have twrp installed on my phone, but didn't make a backup on this phone.
I don't think I have any saved backups from older phones either.
Is there a file I can copy to my phone or ADB commands to make it work?
I've seen a few posts where people ask for the EFS files, maybe there are three of them?
I don't know what the result of those requests were.

Thanks! I had replaced my Note 2 in December using my assurian insurance with $100 deductible. So I called them today and told 'DonTrey' what happened. He said they'd send me a new phone for free so I didn't argue.
It should get here tomorrow. Are there any issues flashing to the latest ROMs? Which one would you recommend?
Depends on what firmware is installed when you get it. If it's completely locked down then safestrap will give you root but no custom roms as of yet. I prefer meanbean but that's just my opinion. I run meanbean reborn v0.9 It's so smooth and battery life is the best. But again just my 2 cents.

OK thanks Macasus, I might try that meanbean. Is it a 4.4 or 4.3 Touchwiz based ROM? I saw some ROMs that included some stuff from the Note 3. I might try some of them out.
I'll do some reading and find out how to tell if my new phone is completely locked down. That would suck. I'm hoping it will arrive today.
I have a week of vacation, and of course I have to deal with my phone for half of it. I'm almost ready to jump ship and get an iPhone. j/k

I am rooted and on ToxicSwamp MJ4.. I do not care about tripping Knox. I would like to know if there is a stable KitKat and if so how do I get there from here. Do I need to go back to just plain stock rooted MJ4 or is it stock unrooted MJ4? And do I use unrooted recovery or TWRP? And bootloader. .. and Kernal? Things are changing so quickly it seems and I'm getting further and further behind. As you can tell I'm also more and more confused.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Please try to excuse the noob-ness of it all.
