I've found a beautiful tutorial on this forum to completely remove Knox bootloader from latest S4 mini firmwares and make a "free-Knox stock firmware".. Is there a guide to do the same on i9505?
Thanks a lot

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

I'm on Android 4.3 with my International Samsung Galaxy S4. I have MK9, I can't find anything saying it is safe to root this. Is there a guide anywhere? I'm not worried about voiding any warranties, I paid for the phone in full with no contracts or any warranties. Thanks

Sure, just go into recovery and flash Chainfire's CF-Auto-root.
Here is the direct download link for it:

Good luck!

Hello everyone, I sent my S4 I9505 to samsung for repairs and they have installed lollipop on it.
Can I downgrade safely from lollipop to kitkat?
Thanks a lot for your help all !
there's a guide in s4 general about downgrading from lollipop to kitkat, it's usually quite near the top of the forum...

You can, but it will trip knox.
Thanks for your help.
Is it this thread ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9505-downgrade-5-0-lollipop-to-4-4-2-t3052472
Knox is already tripped

Yes, that's it.
If I understand correctly, you can downgrade from lollipop top kitkat but you cannot downgrade from kitkat to an older version?

I don't think that is entirely true. But it is hard anyway.
Carefully!

Read the thread "i9505 downgrade from Lolipop to jelly bean 4.3" and the thread "Proper way to downgrade s4 from lollipop to 4.3" on the forum sammobile.
Thanks for your help. I will read this later tomorrow.
Did you succeed in downgrading?
