Hi,
I have a samsung s4 I9505 on Android 4.2.2, I attempted to root the device however after using the root status checker, the device was stating "Not rooted". How do I root my phone?
Current baseband version: I9505ZHUDMI1
What rooting method will I need?
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39901375
This is latest Hong Kong firmware with new secure bootloader for KNOX implementation. Rooting with present method is risky and will also trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag in the bootloader.

Hey,
I have an unrooted SM-N9005 with the N9005XXUBMJ3 Firmware. I read that I can't root this device without triggering the knox counter, because the mj3 firmware has a locked bootloader.
Is there any other way to root it? Is it possible to flash an older firmware with older bootloader before rooting?
I have bought a used S4+ i9506. It has been updated to stock 4.3 and knox status is 0x0.
I see that there's very little development around this device. I have a few questions.
What are my options if I want to root? Are there any?
If so, are there any way of rooting it without tripping knox?
Anyone know if an official 4.4.2 is on it's way? Norwegian phone with csc NEE.
1. Kingo app -> HERE. It doesn't void ur warranty (KNOX: 0x0)
2. NEE doesn't have android 4.2.2 still (Pic attached)

Does Kingo support 4.3 on the i9506? According to this thread it does not:

Hello
Is there a way to downgrade xxugng8 kitkat on i9505 without trigger Knox efuse to the latest stock Knox enable fw supported by towelroot v3 in order to root my device without void the warranty?
-> which is the latest stock fw/kernel supported by towelroot and is it downloadable in sammobile?
Thanks a lot for your help

So is it possible? I have seen guides for this kind of thing but it only had link for kernel and that was for i9505 not i9506 so i'm curious how you can root this model without tripping knox, i'm really confused, any help will be accepted, thanks.
I think that you can, but Knox will be tripped
I have done a fair bit of reading and it states OE1 can not be safely rooted due to the inability to downgrade. Yet the .tar file is available.... i do not care about tripping my KNOX, I have no intention of ever returning to Verizon or any other carrier with this phone. Using Odin, can I still flash a different ROM on my device to start my root process.. once again I do not care about my KNOX counter.
