hi. i have a 9505 running 4.3 stock rom (yes i have the knox during the update, thanks sCamsung for not letting me know, *****es)
i know i can root 4.5 stock. my rom is MKF.
but what comes after root, im not too sure about some things
i dont care about knox 0x0 or 0x1
my questions is :
-how can i install a custom recovery without ending with a brick ? which one is appropriate ? remember i got stock knoxed 4.3
-can i install a custom rom after flashing recovery ? which one is appropriate?
maybe this kind of questions has been answered 10000 times with old 4.2 roms. but for stock 4.3 i didnt see much things about it and want to be sure before trying to flash.

Hi all!
I've bought a new S4 (i9505) and fortunately I don't have knox on my device...
Now I'd like to install the last 4.3 GE and may be the CM 10.2 when in stable state.
My first question is: if I flash the recovery (CWM or ... ?) and then the GE and/or CM ROM the knox will not installed right? I'll only need Triangleaway app to reset counter?
Second: if I get trouble and I'll need to flash back to stock for warrenty, can I flash the actual stock ROM via kies and bypass the know problems?
Third: I saaw that there's not only one post for the GE ROM... where can I find the last standard GE release flashable via recovery?
Thanks!
You should read the forums more before you start doing anything. It will save you lots of trouble in the future. I know its a lot of information in this forum, but read read read before you start doing things to your expensive phone.
If you stay away from knox enabled stock roms, you will be fine. That is with stock roms that also flash bootloaders. My advice would be to stay away from flashing stock roms in general and look for a custom rom that suits your needs.
Don't use kies, but just use Odin if you want to get back to stock.

Thanks! I've really appreciate your help!
I've read a lot of posts but is not simple to understand all and/or read all the messages, so apollogise if me and someane else write down a new post hoping someone point us to right thread.
Well... I've understood that ODIN is my friend and I'm downloading from sammobile my current stock ROM without knox so I'll be able to reflash stock ROM if necessary keeping my S4 far from knox.
Now.... someone con point me to the last 4.3 GE ROM because I still can't understand wich is the cleanest (similar to the real GE) and stable ROM to flash...
Thanks guys!

You can flash Custom roms like Omega v13.1, i get to use 4.3 rooted without KNOX.
Just flash a custom recovery and install from there. Do read instructions carefully when installing.
Guys, unless you want a knox enabled bootloader on your phone. Stay away from the official 4.3 rom. If you have no idea what Knox is, then you should read the thread about it.
You can also install PAC MAN Rom, CM, Paranoid Android etc. Knox Free
I bought a new N9005 (Model : SM-N9005ZKEBTU ).... and Installed latest Kitkat (Poland) via ....
Now I just want to root it.... no custom rom etc, just wanna stay on stock for a few months ...
How can just root it.... where can I find the stock kernel which can make it root (Like I did in my previous phones like S2, Note, Note2 )...

Not a problem, it is easy to do. But you will trip the Knox counter. And you will not be able to return to 4.3 to avoid doing so.
AFAIK from all the posts (probably several hundred in 20 threads or more) you made a one-way decision by upgrading to kitkat.

I knw I wont be able to come back ... but sooner or later we hv to be on kitkat,,,, and I think this kitkat (poland) has no problems as long as it is stock...
Plz tell me an easy way to root it, like any kernel flashing whch make it rooted ? There r many customs roms with kitkat but I dont wanna try custom roms for few months
Basically I have a lots of data backup stored in titanium backup root (From my last Note2)..... wanna restore many apps with data from that
Also if I unroot it by flashing stock kitkat again, will it reset my knox counter?
The best way to root remains cf_autoroot, but it WILL trip your knox warranty bit.
Currently there is NO way to root KK without tripping Knox.
hey guys this is my first post and i looked forum and didn't see any information about downgrading on 4.4 to 4.3 . i saw some guys saying its not possible but i assume they mean official downgrade. the thing is i got n9005 with 4.4.2 installed and iam not happy with it so i want to downgrade it to unofficial 4.3 roms. as i understand boot loader changed with 4.4.2 and doesn't allow to go back but what if we can install new bootlader and official ROM. is that not possible too?
2nd q is 0x1 means void warranty what about 0x3 (they say tripped) is this something real or i misunderstand this?
3th q is can i even if i downgraded custom 4.3 and want to go back to stock rom is it possible?
i don't want posts saying its already inside of forum. i just want straight answers.

1. No.
2. Misunderstood, you only trip Knox once.
3. You can always flash stock rom back but sometimes need pit file for carrier roms as hidden partition sems bigger...
Straight enough?...
anything new about downgrading from 4.4 to 4.3?
No. Still can't be done.

Hi mate ,
My first question is what bootloader you have old one (4.2.2) or knox bootloader ( >4,3)?
If not sure check in download mode if there is any knox related text if so there is nothing you can do about the warranty bit
FNE7 is a 4.4.2 rom if you flash it for sure you will flash the knox bootloader , if you do and root you will set the warranty bit
You can flash that firmware, you can root BUT you will set knox to 1

After you've put a cwm or philz or another bootloader on your phone, flash this:

This will remove knox.
