I have bought a used S4+ i9506. It has been updated to stock 4.3 and knox status is 0x0.
I see that there's very little development around this device. I have a few questions.
What are my options if I want to root? Are there any?
If so, are there any way of rooting it without tripping knox?
Anyone know if an official 4.4.2 is on it's way? Norwegian phone with csc NEE.
1. Kingo app -> HERE. It doesn't void ur warranty (KNOX: 0x0)
2. NEE doesn't have android 4.2.2 still (Pic attached)

Does Kingo support 4.3 on the i9506? According to this thread it does not:

Hi guys,
As you know I'm fairly new here. I just want to ask if (as far as I've read) based on this POST http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850, I'm running a Baseband Version of N9005XXUDMJ7. It says here that if I root, I will trip Knox but I won't be upgrading. Just rooting. If I continue with this process will I trip Knox?

You are altering system files, you will trip Knox... Doesn't matter that you're not changing rom.
If you were, as long as it was a stock firmware and the right bootloader, you wouldn't trip Knox...

What do you a stock firmware? I would get my firmware from sammobile. So what you're saying is that if I just root I'll trip Knox. But if I change my rom I won't?
So I should just follow the video on RDLV?
Sorry. Running a celeron processor of a brain here. -_-

De la Vega says: "If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
Your firmware is MJ7 so you will trip Knox.
As you are on MJ7 it would be easier to just flash cf-autoroot... You will trip knox but easier to use.
You would trip Knox anyway and there's more steps using URDLV...
On the other hand if you want a different region rom on your Note 3 then you can pretty much just pick and flash a stock rom (as long as the new bootloader is in it) with no fear of tripping Knox....
Just don't think you can go back to MI7 or MJ1 to use URDLV to root without tripping Knox as they have the old bootloader that will see you boot looping until you reflash a newer version of stock rom with the new bootloader.
Hello!!!
I have one question, it is possible to go back to 4.2 or 4.3 after install 4.4.2?
If yes, how can I do this?
Thanks!
No.
It is possible, but it will change your KNOX status to 0x1 and this could void your warranty.
Hello
Is there a way to downgrade xxugng8 kitkat on i9505 without trigger Knox efuse to the latest stock Knox enable fw supported by towelroot v3 in order to root my device without void the warranty?
-> which is the latest stock fw/kernel supported by towelroot and is it downloadable in sammobile?
Thanks a lot for your help

1. Yes with CF-Auto-Root. Im using it and works perfect.
2. Consequences.... Well. The theory tell that you lost the warranty... but reality is different. Depends in what store warranty is void or no for fix your phone
Hey everyone, I really need help.
I've been looking for answers for a long time and found nothing, I'm getting desperate.
I have a SM-N9005 with COO as original CSC code (Colombia)
CSC Version : N9005UUBBMI1
PDA version : N9005VJUBMI7
Baseband version: N9005VJUBMI6
Android 4.3. Knox 0x0
I don't want to trip knox and I don't really need to root I just want to update. However if I can root without loosing warranty and knox 0x1 I could try,
I want to update my Android but Colombia doesn't go anywhere beyond 4.3 so my questions are.
-Can I download a KitKat firmware from another country from SamMobile and install it using odin?
-What country should I use?
-Do I have to wipe all my data?
-Will Knox trip?
-Should I go with 5.0 Lollipop or stick with Kitkat and wait?
-Bluetooth and Wifi will be fine?
-Where can I do all of this if it is possible?
I know they're a lot of questions, but if you can answer them you would save me a lot of time and pain.
Thanks.

UUB is a multi-CSC firmware, it includes COO (Colombia) and CHO (Chile).
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser', enter UUB into the CSC textbox and tap Go button to search, you will see that there is 4.4.2 firmware on the top of the list (N9005VJUFNG3). You can download that firmware and flash via Odin.
All things should be fine. No need to wipe anything. No data will be lost. Knox counter will be safe.
