You can use either cf auto root and root the same way as you did with mdl or you can use crawj's mf9 stock rooted tar and odin that to get rooted.

OK thanks alot for the speedy reply. Didn't know if the cfauto root would work with the mf9 build. I did searh, but couldn't find anything. I did see the options u mentioned though.

Galaxy s4 help

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?

Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

Yes custom is better in most cases as far as customizing.

What if everything is back to stock and not rooted but just a custom recovery would that be ok?

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it

Ok thanks i just got my s4 like 2 days ago lol i love it its so much better than the s3

Is MDC the latest stock recovery for the sprint s4 or is there a MF9 version?

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Not really possible ATM. No tar file available. So you are in a way stuck with 4.3 rooted.

Not really unless cnexus makes a stock odexed rom then we can just flash that, flash stock kernel and stock recovery and unroot. Then do a factory wipe. But we dont have those files so if you modded your phone. You stuck until we can get a working tar or the files needed.

I think I saw in the general section that there is a tar file for Odin now. You may want to check there
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Yes, the full MJA tar file is available on sammobile.com, download it and flash with odin.

Unroot return to stock mja clarification

Had installed mja ota awhile back and installed cm10.2 installer from the android market. now trying to go back to stock would flashing the tar file on Odin oc PC version be the safest bet to go?

This might be what your looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586586

By 'complete' I think he means unrooted stock MK2.

if one were to flash this stock MK2 over an already installed MK2 for a completely stock finish, would it trip KNOX? no because it's using stock recovery?

No, it will not trip knox.
