Rooting mja

Hello everyone and thanks for helping me out in my last post. OK so I wait and get my mja update, which by the way fixed all the bugs on the gs4. Now I am thinking I want to root but I can't find a guide online anywhere, a Lil help would be appreciated.

You haven't searched or read much. You can use CF auto root.

No I have done my research CF doesn't work with sprint gs4 Mja build

The only way to root MJA is to use CF and trip the Knox counter.

OK just a few more questions. So in the distant future will it be possible to turn knox back to 0x0 and unroot phone?

Maybe. But it doesn't matter. At this point in time, it has been confirmed that Sprint will not be denying service for devices with the Knox counter tripped.

Yep your right. Only thing I'm having trouble with now is where is my cwm to flash cyanogenmod.
I also have great news for all gs4 users who aren't rooted yet and running mja. I ran cf auto root on my pc with all anti-virus turned off and everything worked perfect, no SU or knox problems at. I was on sprint mja build.
Read up, make sure u have the right software and drivers and you should be fine.

From galaxys3man30:
Mr.kennyglass123 just got some confirmed info that sprint will repair/replace your phone with the knox counter set 0x1 so that's some positive news. I've have been able to successfully root and add a custom kernel to 4.3 without any issues and it's not as bad as it seems just people where making the mistake of trying to go back to a earlier update and with the new bootloader that just not possible right now. So, it's not that scary to do this update but I can understand where ur coming from thou buddy. I will be here to help you with it if you need me buddy I have successfully remove all of knox from the ota rom so far so it's that hard to get removed and such. Just trying to give some encouraging info buddy.

An important clarification, Sprint will do this! Samsung will NOT!!!! It is very important you understand the difference. If you are paying for Sprint TEP (Total Equipment Protection), Best Buy Protection, or even Square Trade Insurance then the Knox flag shouldn't be a problem. If you do not have any of the insurance packages and you are solely relying on the Samsung warranty for your phone than you should know that Samsung will reject any warranty claim if the Knox flag is tripped or they can tell that you rooted it. They will fix your phone for a fee.

N9005DBTDMJ4 N9005XXUDMJ7 is out - upgrading questions

I am currently on dbt mj3 knox 0x0 rdlv and want to up to mdj4.
How to do this without loosing root and tripping knox? (Have urdlv on my pc)
Will i keep preferences of my root apps (frozen in TB, wanam exposed preferences, greenified app)? Will the root apps stay?
Anything to do before i start the upgrade (and maybe reroot progress)?
Sorry about those many questions, but its my first proper andoid device and i dont want to mess anything up
Thanks in advance

If you update you will lose root so you will have to root again all your rooted apps settings will stay all you will need to do is update exposed framework

Not 100% on this but I believe RDLV will trip KNOX 0x1 on MJ6 or higher, so I wouldn't update if I were you.

No, you don't trip knox with MJ6/MJ7 if you use URDLV and my solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47091411&postcount=62&nocache=1&z=5607935257721692

Hi i updated using the usual urdlv files and falshed modem and no-hlos afterwards
Now no cam no wifi binary customm
What can i do to fix it? Can binary be reset? Can i create the tar.md5 (with cygwin right?) And flash it over my device to solve it? Would this wipe my phone?
EDIT: root obtained (greenify somehow seems to work without superSU) and knox 0x0, also got sys staus back to official

I haven't rooted yet. There are ways to do it without tripping knox so long as you arent using kitkat (which i am not). However, i was first told to use kingo and it told me that it was going to use the ODIN method that will void my warranty so i didnt do it yet. :/

**** I'm on kit kat can I down grade?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

LOL... If the JB you are using is higher than MJ1 then you will trip Knox no matter what method you use.... This has been stated SOOOOO many times I can't believe you guys didn't see it...
You can root KK using cf-autoroot, just make sure it is the latest, and PC ODIN... And no, you can't go back to a JB firmware from KK...

OK thanks :thumbup:

If your Bootloader version > MJ3, you can't root without tripping Knox.
You can find your Bootloader version by using my app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (download link in my signature).
Here you can find many other useful information.
P.S: Please be noted that Bootloader version may not always be the same as PDA version.

You can root and then upgrade but you'll have to root again so may as well upgrade and then root to save a step.
Only way to root Mj7 is cf-autoroot. You need the old version to root your current firmware and the latest version to root 4.4.2.

Kingo contains malware. Best not to use it.

If you are on 4.4.2 MJ4 or newer you cannot root without KNOX beeing tripped. Period It will remain 0x1 wether you flash once or 50 times.

Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!

Hi Guys,
I have a new Note 3 (SM-9005) and wanted a definitive answer about triggering KNOX 0x1.
Is it possible for me to root without triggering KNOX?

My FW\SW details are;

CP: N9005XXUFNF2
CSC: N9005OXAFNF4
Any help greatly appreciated.
