Hi all.
1st if all, i want to know whether i can remove this KNOX from my GT-I9500. I got it when i updated to 4.3.
I haven't rooted my phone and I'm using the custom rom.
I've heard that installing KNOX takes away my freedom to root my GS4.
Please help.

Nope. You're stuck with it mate.
You can still root and flash custom ROMS though so don't worry

I want to root my device and flash a new kernel (alpha kernel).
But it only works with 4.2.2
Can i downgrade after rooting?

Hi.
It's impossible to downgrade if u are on 4.3 firmware (MJ5 version) plus the new bootloader.
What do i do then? I want to download the Omega rom and do the s tweaks to maxx out my battery life.

I'm afraid you're stuck with it, mate.
Wait for indie to update his new version.
U may want to try other ROMs that's available on I9500.

Can I still upgrade to the 5.0 android when it comes out even if my S4 is rooted??
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yes, but you might have to install a custom firmware or return to stock without root, or just remove the root and wait for the ota update.

I hope we get it, but I'd say we'll be waiting quite a while but no guarantees either.

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes custom is better in most cases as far as customizing.

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

All the custom roms don't have a bootloader. Just flash away.

I have been reading that users are having wifi problems when flashing new bootloader roms on old bootloader devices? Just ensuring :-S

If you flash a custom rom true the recovery, then nothing can go wrong. Just make a nandroid backup in case it doesn't work and you want to go back.
I'm on NB1(4.4.2) stock rooted. I want to flash Cyanogenmod 11 hut don't wanna risk bricking my phone so I wanna be sure. I was gonna flash it using safestrap recovery v3.72 on ROM slot 1. Now I don't know if I flashed CM if I would have to flash a kernal with it. Thanks.
