I just wanted to ask the exact same question...
But in my case it's for the I9505.
I still have the XXUBMGA Official Stock Rom with root. No KNOX bootloader, no custom rom.
I do, however want the latest Jellybean but I don't like that KNOX thing.

I would stay away from the official firmware. Read the Knox Q&A for more answers.

Same goes for you, stay away from official firmwares and just wait for a custom rom with 4.3.

So you saying that the costum roms don't have the KNOX bootloader?
Honestly, I didn't really follow up on everything regarding KNOX as I don't have that much time anymore (work, wife, children).
I see that there is a new Omega rom based on the latest firmware. Perhaps I should check that one out.
Now I'm going to do some more research regarding this.
Thanks again for your time.

Only the official firmwares have the bootloader. Just stay away from official firmwares if you want to root/flash different roms and you will be fine.
But it can never hurt to read more about Knox
Hello guys, I'd like to ask on how to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 kitkat 4.4.2 XXUENC2. I tried many root methods already but none of them work, maybe they are old already or outdated.

Qns on ROMs
Hi Guys,
My SM-9005 kitkat 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0-1703205 baseband N9005DXUENE3 was rooted with Towelroot and I've checked with rootchecker, it says that I have root access. However in my phone's download page my system status remain as "official" instead of "custom". Is my device rooted properly? or Is this normal?
1) How to install custom recovery compatible with my device?
2) Currently my Knox remain as 0x0, will the process of installing a custom ROM trip Knox by any chance?
3) Are launchers only compatible with stock ROMs and not custom ROMs?
4) Currently what are the top Stock & Custom ROMs compatible with my device? (If I'm focusing more on games,performance, batt life and very low usage of S pen).
Thanks in advance!

Search before you ask for help. All these have been answered many times in this very forum.
Official or custom system status has nothing to do with rooting.
Find custom recovery from development section and flash it with Odin.
Custom ROM does not trip KNOX, but flashing custom recovery and/or kernel will.
What launchers you have in mind? Stock TouchWiz ones might only work on stock(-based) ROMs. Third-party launchers should work on all ROMs, though exceptions can occur.
There is no best ROM. Try different ROMs ones, see yourself what is best. A ROM may be best for one, worst for other.
Also - If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here.

Hey mate! That's the advantage of towelroot. You are rooted without tripping knox warranty or changing the status to custom. In other words, you could still get OTA updates when it's available eventhough you're rooted

Click the "make it rain" button

Hi,
Thanks for your clarification, still a bit confused though, and I don't understand you by "If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here". Please don't feel offended as I'm new & total noob to the root & the ROM "world". FYI, I did search & read up the internet for information but I don't understand most of it. Thus I'm seeking help here.
1) In order to install & flash any Custom ROM, one must have custom recovery for back up first right? Since by flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox, then why do so many people (including me) trying so hard to find a way to root our devices without tripping Knox in the first place?
2) Does custom ROMs & kernels comes separately and not together? For example, I can install custom rom A and flashing kernel B from custom rom B or other sources?
3) Are there ways to customize or modify my device e.g Changing boot up animation, overclocking the processor, changing batt logo etc... while rooted and running on original ROM?
I have the Cricket Galaxy S4 SCH-R970C and was just wondering which subforum applies to me? IE to root, custom recovery, and flash ROMs from? I usually deal with Sprint/VZW phones (mainly Nexus devices) so I've never had to decypher by model numbers. Thanks for the help.

You can search for "jfltecri" because that's the "Name" for your phone. But there aren't special forums on xda

Flash this in Odin: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltecri/philz_touch_6.15.4-jfltecri.tar.md5
Or what do you want to do excatly?
@Tkkg1994 So here's what I've done:
Use TowelRoot to root my device. It is currently on 4.4.2.
I have booted into download and saw these, so I know I'm good here:
Knox Kernel Status: 0x0
Knox Warranty Status: 0x0
I would like to install a custom recovery on my device as well as custom ROM.
1. I saw CyanogenMod's guide (here) to installing a custom recovery then custom ROM. Will this guide trip the Knox flag for the recovery OR the ROM?
2. (Knox, as I understand it, is for warranty purposes only, correct?)
3. If that guide will trip Knox than are there any you know I should follow for a custom recovery and custom ROM?
4. Also, which subsection of S4 would I be able to install ROMs from? I've seen the jfltespr lump in the jfltecri a bunch when I search. Would most sprint ROMs work for the Cricket S4?
5. And lastly, if I do not care about Knox, does it matter how I go about installing the recovery and ROM? (I know what I'm doing flashing wise, I've owned a GNex, Nexus 5, few tablets, etc) Just pushing the recovery.img via adb then flashing a ROM? Cricket does not offer warranties and if I ever flashed it to sprint I wouldn't get a warranty so does warranty really matter?
Thanks for the help and sorry for being long winded. If you do decide to GRACIOUSLY answer, could you kinda format them like mine so I can follow along? Thanks!
@Tkkg1994 got an answer for me bro? Sorry to bother. And thanks.

1. Yes it will trip your knox, because you don't have the original firmware on your phone, it only can be tripped once. For both things.
2. Yes, you're right there.
3. Question is, have you got a problem when your knox will be tripped?
4. The Sprint ones should work fine. I would make a backup in the recovery and try a sprint rom.
5. If you don't care about it, it's don't really matter how you do it. I would flash Philz Touch through Odin3.09 and than install your custom rom in the recovery
Sorry that I answered that late, didn't saw your post before. Sorry again!
Hello, is this possible, to flash custom firmware without knox 0x1? I saw somewhere that someone wrote about how the ODIN, but I do not know if it's true.

first of all this is the wrong forum to ask questions and secondly look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
i guess that is the answer to your question on flashing without tripping knox. on the side note, next time pls search
Sorry and thanks
I saw a post on android central and a guy said he was able to root his note 3 with out tripping knox, he said that it didn't trip because he didn't flash a custom rom, and since SuperSU promps you if you want to disable knox when you download it. So my question is do you need a custom rom to root the galaxy s8 and does SuperSU actually stop knox from tripping?
Here is the link to that forum post that I saw:

Bro it was the first knox now it's smarter. You flash something that is not Samsung and your warranty is gone.
