I'm still running a rooted version of MF9 4.2.2 on my S4 and have never upgraded to 4.3 so I'm still without the knox enabled bootloader. If I were to put ClockwordMod recovery and flash the newest, stable cm10.2 would it place the knox enabled bootloader on my phone?
No it wouldn't.

Thanks for the quick response. Now I know what I'm going to be doing for the remainder of my night.
A followup question if you don't mind. Would using Philz Advanced CWM over the official CWM make a difference in flashing the zip?

Philz has been more stable of all the recoveries available to us.

Hello,
Apologies if I didnt find it after searching but:
I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy
Thanks!

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

I used to be on stock recovery rooted and was able to update ota while keeping root with ota rootkeeper... And stock recovery

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

So, you want a recovery that has no abilities? No backups. .. no restores. ... reinstall motochopper then.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.
I have a quick question. I am on MDL rooted with a custom recovery. If I flash a custom ROM that's based off of MF3, will it upgrade my bootloader & make me lose my recovery?

No, you can't install clockwork or twrp. The only only recovery you can install is SafeStrap.

You need 3.71 safestrap in the original post.

You must be rooted, and must have unknown sources enabled.

probably because it hasnt been updaed in GooManager to support the L720T.
I believe there is a TAR file that you can flasg via ODIN. Philz has a great recovery that works and is based on CWM.

You can use any s4 rom I believe, but you will lose the Spark function of the T model if the rom doesn't support it.
Main thing, have a good Nandroid of your working touchwiz system, flash new rom, if you boot loop, nandroid back to your working system.
Before you install a ROM and after making a nandroid. Restore it to make sure it backed up correctly.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Make a note of your firmware and baseband as you may need to reflash to the correct firmware in order to have the best experience. I'm still on MK5. I have decided to be patient and wait. The spark is very noticeable compared to my s3 (i had).
I Rooted my phone and downloaded TWRP from goo manager and now i'm stuck in Odin Mode. Is there any way to reverse this?

I did the same thing, no recovery whatsoever. Looks like there's no other choice but to reflash the stock firmware again and start all over again. Hopefully get back stock recovery, Cfroot, Philz this time.
I'll report my results.
Like whenever you turn it on it goes straight to Odin mode?

Can you direct me to a good guide on rooting so i do not run into these issues again?
What is the baseband version and your boot loader is locked, correct?

What you have experienced is due to the restrictions put by the locked bootloader. If you check the baseband version in settings->about phone, it would end with MF3 or MK2 or NB1.
The firmware with these version have locked bootloader which prevents us from flashing any custom kernel or recovery.
The way to flash custom roms is using a different kind of recovery called Safestrap
There are some restrictions with Safestrap though. With MF3, you have to use safestrap v3.65 and you can only flash 4.2.2 based roms. You can also flash Goople play edition 4.2.2 roms. With google play edition, your PC will not recognize the phone though.
With MK2, you have to use safestrap v3.71 and you can flash 4.3 based Roms. You cannot flash google play edition 4.3 based roms though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 has lot of useful information for you.
If you are on NB1, you have to follow Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool to downgrade to MK2 first and then install 4.4.2 based Roms.
If you are on MK2, Deadly Venom Kitkat magic tool has a way to install 4.4.2 (Kitkat) roms.
