Important Information
List of ROMs installable on the SM-N900W8 (by Model number): Here
Current Firmware: N900W8VLU2DOC4 - Download
Status: VULNERABLE
Latest Recommended Modem (LP): N900W8VLU2DOC4
Previous Recommended Modem (KK): N900W8VLUCNI1
Flashing a Modem:
If you have an invulnerable bootloader, you can flash any of the latest modems through Odin no problem, download and flash under CP.If the modem does not stick after flashing:
Flash it without Auto-reboot ticked.
Manually turn off your phone (battery pull required), then immediately go back into Download Mode.
Flash it again, then manually reboot the phone (battery pull again) after done.

Thanks @Calen77 for the find!
Vulnerable: Trippable
Invulnerable: Untrippable under any circumstances while running the bootloader loaded phone. Odin flashing friendly.
Semi-invulnerable: Trippable under one condition (can be ignored if you don't plan to downgrade). Otherwise they are all untrippable.
All 4.3 N900W8 bootloaders are normal bootloaders and will trip when it detects any modification.
All 4.4.2 N900W8 bootloaders are unable to be tripped when doing just rooting and installing custom recovery.
-> The leaked Mexican bootloader allows you to avoid tripping the bootloader even through a downgrade of 4.4.2 to 4.3.
-> Canadian 4.4.2 bootloaders will trip if you attempt any downgrade to 4.3. This is the only issue.
-> You can flash a different modem, a different ROM base (AOSP or TW), CSC, Kernel, Recovery and NOT trip KNOX on any devices.

Currently known N900W8 4.3 vulnerable bootloaders: MI5, MJ1, MJ4
Currently known N900W8 4.4.2 invulnerable bootloaders: MEXICAN NA2
Currently known N900W8 4.4.2 semi-invulnerable bootloaders: NB7
Currently known N900W8 5.0 vulnerable bootloaders: DOC4
For the people running MI5, MJ1 vulnerable bootloaders (excluding MJ4) and not willing to upgrade to 4.4.2 -> I suggest using URDLV to root without tripping KNOX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46818375
For the people running MJ4 vulnerable bootloader and not willing to upgrade to 4.4.2 -> You can use Kingo root to root, however this is a fondly avoided app, as the first version sent your IMEI to a server in China. Hesitant to upgrade to 4.4.2? You're done.
For the people running MJ4 vulnerable bootloader -> I suggest following the guide below this Q&A to get your phone to 4.4.2, so you get the Mexican bootloader to be free of all KNOX and it's dread. (Highly recommended)
For the people running NB7 semi-invulnerable bootloader -> You are free to root, custom ROM flash, replace your kernel, modem updating through Odin, etc. Just do not attempt to downgrade if you want to preserve KNOX.
Q: But but but, what if I.....
A: NA2 bootloader? Nothing you do can touch your bootloader UNLESS you intentionally upgrade your phone through KIES or Odin. These are the only two tools that is able to touch your bootloader. Everything you do will preserve KNOX. The hierarchy of your phone stands so that the bootloader is on top of the recovery partition, and everything else is under recovery. Recovery is unable to touch the Bootloader (like how a normal office worker can't fire their boss).
Q: How about.....
A: NA2 bootloader? You are safe. Stop worrying about sh*t.
Q: How does this work?
A: The Mexican NA2 was a leaked firmware for the N900W8 intended for development devices, it was never released in the "NA#"'s officially for the N900W8 models. (Need confirmation if tripped KNOX on the Mexican version of N900W8) This could mean they turned off the functionality of the security breach on these devices while trying to distinguish the two different N900W8's modems so they don't trip everyone's KNOX when the OTA is released. In layman's terms, the Mexican firmware was the base for the Canadian version, but when applying different patches to distinguish the two regions, they needed a development version that doesn't trip KNOX. The latest NB7 was not patched most probably due to either not noticing this flaw or slow updates as usual (very, very slow).
Q: How do I check my bootloader version?
A: Using @vndnguyen's app on the play store, located here. Look under Firmware Info (in green), and then under Bootloader version. Take the last three characters for the actual bootloader version.

==================================================================================================
My guide to get any Canadian Note 3 on 4.3 to 4.4.2 safely without tripping KNOX
Credits will also go to @Oogar and @polish_pat for the tutorials and their original files!
This is my version of @Oogar's and @polish_pat's guides, and I will keep them up to date. What's the difference? Well I will keep the links as fresh as possible and mirroring them as I see fit.
I will also provide pictures so that you will be assured you are doing the correct thing.
Step 0: Verify your BOOTLOADER version
If your bootloader is of version MI5, MJ1 or MJ4, move onto the next step. Click the button below for a brief instruction how to check.
If your bootloader is of version NA2 (somehow) or NB7, skip to the contents of Step 4, however you won't be on a "happy" (invulnerable) bootloader if you are on NB7.
Using @vndnguyen's app on the play store, located here. Look under Firmware Info (in green), and then under Bootloader version. Take the last three characters for the actual bootloader version.
Step 1: Download these files!
Odin v3.09 - Fast Link
Samsung Kies (for drivers) - Direct Link -- Official Samsung Link
PIT File: (PIT) HLTE_CAN_OPEN.pit
BL File: BL_N900W8UBUCNA2_336994_REV03_user_low_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
AP File: AP_N900W8UBUCNA2_336994_REV03_user_low_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP File: (CP) Rogers Modem.tar
CSC File: (CSC) Canadian Multi CSC.tar
Step 2: I am on MI5/MJ1/MJ4!
NOTE: This will erase all your data from your phone as you will be flashing a LEAKED firmware. Official ROMs do not wipe your data. Make sure you make a backup.
Install Kies, then reboot your computer. (Do not open Kies, it will affect Odin!)
Extract Odin3 on your desktop using WinRAR or 7zip.
Open up "Odin3 v3.09.exe"
Turn off your phone and hold the HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON until you see a warning -> Press Down to Continue.
Plug in your phone using the original USB 3.0 cable (highly recommended)
Step 2 complete! Move onto the next step if you succeeded. If not, try restarting your computer.
Step 3: Odin's opened, device detected!
Make sure your Odin looks exactly like this (as shown in the photo below) with all the defaulted values. Do not tick anything unnecessary that is not mentioned in the photo. If your Odin looks EXACTLY like the photo I showed, move onto the next step (excluding ID:COM values).
Now add in the files you downloaded above according to their bracket names. Make sure that you UNCHECK Re-partition once all the files are set.
Click start and wait for the process to finish!
NOTE: If you can't boot up normally, retry the process above but check Re-Partition in Odin instead.
Step 4: You are now on the famous N900W8 "happy" (invulnerable) bootloader!
If you just want to obtain root and custom recovery, move on to Step 5 and finish there.
If you want to flash ROMs, move on to Step 6. (NOTE: Yes you can follow Step 6 after Step 5, but if you plan to flash ROMs at the start, you don't have to root your current ROM.)
Step 5: I'm not going to flash ROMs, I just need root and custom recovery....
Download ChainFire's CF-Auto Root: Direct from Chainfire's Website
Download the latest TWRP for N900W8: Nicholas' Database or TWRP Server (Slower)
Turn off your phone and hold the HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON until you see a warning -> Press Down to Continue.
Extract "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip" to a specified folder and ONLY touch the .md5 file, DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER FILES.
In Odin's AP area, select "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5"
Click Start
Once it is complete, let your phone fully boot into the lockscreen, the put it in Download Mode again.
In Odin, press Reset, then In Odin's AP area, select "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-hltecan-4.4.img.tar"
Click Start
Once it is complete, take a Nandroid backup and you have finished this guide! DO NOT PROGRESS FURTHER UNLESS YOU WANT TO FLASH ROMs.
If you can't write to your SD card, follow this guide by @Khizar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684384
Step 6: I will flash a custom ROM after this....
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED AN EXTERNAL SD CARD FOR THIS AS MOST ROMS WIPE YOUR INTERNAL, MEANING YOU LOSE YOUR INSTALLER PACKAGE WHILE THE AROMA INSTALLER AUTOWIPES, AND THE INSTALL WILL CORRUPT.
Download the latest TWRP for N900W8: TWRP Server
Turn off your phone and hold the HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON until you see a warning -> Press Up to Continue.
In Odin, press Reset, then In Odin's AP area, select "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-hltecan-4.4.img.tar"
Click Start
Once it is complete, take a Nandroid backup of your current ROM.
Boot into your current ROM and take the Nandroid backup out of your phone's internal storage, and move it into your external SD. [URGENT]
Put your custom ROM you desire into your external SD, in this guide I will be guiding for an N9005 ROM.
Put your custom Kernel you desire into your external SD, you will need an N900T kernel [IMPORTANT, ANY STOCK N9005 KERNEL WILL BREAK WIFI/NFC FUNCTIONALITY] (If AOSP OR S5 ROM, skip this step)
Put this NFC/Wifi/BT fix into your external SD: N900W8 KK WIFI-NFC Fix (NI1 Source).zip -- Thanks a lot @Oogar for the file. (If AOSP OR S5 ROM, skip this step)
Turn off your phone and hold the HOME BUTTON + VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON until you see "RECOVERY BOOTING..."
Install the three files in this procedure:
Wipe /system, wipe /data, wipe /cache, wipe /dalvik-cache,
FLASH CUSTOM ROM → FLASH N900T KERNEL (SKIP IF AOSP OR S5) → FLASH NFC/WIFI/BT FIX (SKIP IF AOSP OR S5)
Boot up and enjoy! If you have any problems follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657214
All of this makes alot of sense.
Yesterday I tried flashing the Mexican files, but I was unable to flash over the bootloader. It kept on giving me an error saying auth fail.
I decided to simply flash the AP file, and then the chainfire root file and of course the recovery.
I am now running Xnote without any issues as of yet. I will mention that I didn't have WIFI after booting up, but I installed lean kernel and all is happy now.
Thank you for your informative post.
B.T.W.... knox says 0x0 but it says custom.
Thanks for the info nicholas.

His was like @Oogar's thread, informative instructions to GET 0x0, but it's not an updating thread that tells you which firmwares are KNOX exploitable, through the different Canadian firmwares
My thread is to inform people about the latest firmwares that are affectable/non-affectable by KNOX, not teaching people how to get KNOX 0x0. This means I will update this thread whenever there's a new Canadian firmware so that the Canadians will know whether it is safe to update to the latest iteration of updates.

NC1 is a Mexico firmware. Meaning you're running on the Mexican version of the N900W8.
If you're running the Mexican N900W8 then sorry, it isn't.
If you're running a Canadian N900W8 with the NC1 firmware, with NA2 or NB7 bootloader, then yes, it is safe.
I'm still alive and well, just no time at all to update. I'm even running stock Rogers right now -_-.
As polish_pat said, feel free to use anything in my thread as I lost track and don't want to update the OP while being uninformed.

You should be able to change your modem. Just flash in Odin. Will not trip KNOX {CONFIRMED BY ME - updated from MJ4 modem to NB7}
Will the Mexican NC1 modem work in Canada, or should I stick with NB7? I'm in a basement, so I'd like to try a different/better/newer modem.

Always use the latest from your region - my code.There's nothing better than what you're meant to be using on your device made for your region.

Actually it does matter. Strange how you got it working.
As the newer version has specific changes for the international variant, it won't matter to you as the Canadian version won't need the new fixes that the international variant needs.
I would just flash the hltecan version through recovery, like an update.
first time using Odin to root.
If I am already on version 4.4.2 and NB7 do i just use step 5 to root, or will I still need to do step 0?

As stated on Step 1, if you're already on NB7 you only need to skip to Step 5
EDIT: Yes, I realized I put the download links on Step 0, I switched it with Step 1 hoping it would stop confusion

I usually do this for the Note 3 I have, and it comes in really useful for devs, those running other roms, etc, that just want to upgrade the modem/wifi, bootloader, and CSC without messing with everything else. It's also handy to replace the stock kernel if you need it for whatever reason (towelroot anyone? ). Since I recently picked up a Tab Pro 8.4 from swappa, I did this for mine to do the upgrade, and thought I'd be nice and go ahead and share the extracted parts for everyone else to enjoy.
Here's the MODEM+NON-HLOS (both together and as separate files), Bootloader, Kernel, CSC, and Recovery I extracted from the new T320 1NK1 Firmware. In desktop Odin 3.09, Kernel and recovery would go in AP. Modem + NON-HLOS goes in CP, Bootloader in BL. If you flash the bootloader separately, make sure to tick the box that says bootloader update.
Bootloader:
CSC: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dje1u61d8pk8dou

NON-HLOS.bin: http://www.mediafire.com/download/xuaar11efato1j7
Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/206e1b2g1uact6s

If you have trouble getting the bootloader and/or Modem to stick, install "Triangle Away" by @Chainfire and follow the directions to reset your counter (even if it says zero), then boot into download mode, and re-flash them with Odin and they should stick (WARNING: Triangle Away WILL TRIP KNOX).
NOTE: It has also been noted by several people that booting directly into download mode from a powered-off device and flashing the BL/Modems will make them stick as well.
To verify, you can download "Phone Info - Samsung" and make sure that all applicable items say either T320UEU1ANK1 or T320XAR1ANK1 (Bootloader,, PDA and CSC). NOTE: Not all functions of this app work for our tablets, but most do.

Just a question but I believe it does not affect root, if I were to install the modem/firmware I would not lose root correct? Also, if you were to flash the whole package, does towel root or manual root (think I used Hashcode script vs towel root) does the new firmware allow root access? I don't believe these devices are as locked down as a carrier device, but just wondering! When people refer to firmware and modem, what part is the firmware on this actually? I see the modem, but is firmware part of the NON-HLOS or what ?Thanks!
Edit: Seeing another thread, seems CF Auto-Root will still work, answering my above questions, thanks and sorry for not fully researching first!

My Tab Pro 8.4 (Wifi) shipped with the latest firmware already installed. I didn't want to use CF Auto-Root because it trips the Knox flag, so I flashed this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786800) and then was able to use TowelRoot, which doesn't trip Knox.
Nice job. I upgraded using the full image, downgraded the kernel, rooted my T320, restored your kernel. Very simple and all worked great. Thanks for this.
@toastido Could you give me a link to Kernel BNI1 (Portuguese version) plz?

See screenshot
I have not yet updated to 4.4.4 because I did not want to lose the capabilities of Safestrap. Your solution to that dilemma looks promising. But before I do I have a question... I am not being a smartass, I just want to be certain I understand what you have accomplished... You are now running 4.4.4, NJ5, rooted and with Safestrap using the above steps, is that correct? Thanks.

You need to verify that you have busy box installed, safestrap does not tell you if it installed correctly, so download busybox from playstore or from link in OP. safestrap can be installed while your running NJ5, I've done it a hundred times testing safestrap for, @muniz_ri , @hsbadr, @@RErick and Surge1223

I have not yet updated to 4.4.4 because I did not want to lose the capabilities of Safestrap. Your solution to that dilemma looks promising. But before I do I have a question... I am not being a smartass, I just want to be certain I understand what you have accomplished... You are now running 4.4.4, NJ5, rooted and with Safestrap using the above steps, is that correct? Thanks.

yes I am running NJ5 4.4.4 with most Note4 apps, so I have to constantly reboot into recovery to try note 4 apps to test .
This is not something NEW, this is the same steps we had to do when the KitKat OTA came out, before @Hashcode fixed SafeStrap for kitKat.

I had safestrap install prior to the update so I know what the splash screen looks like lol.[emoji1] I have busybox pro but it wasn't installed. So I reinstalled it and now I will see what happens. Thanks for doing this. Will report back!

if you did not see the SafeStrap recovery screen then your safetrap recovery is not installed any more for what ever reason. Install Busy Box then Install SafeStrap app and reinstall recovery, You also should get SuperSU prop asking to give BusyBox and SafeStrap permision.

How to Root your SM-G925F (International S6 Edge):
This should work on both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1. I have upgraded to 5.1.1 before doing this.
I recommend you hold off on this operation if your device is still running 5.0.2 and don't want to upgrade to 5.1.1.
If you want to keep 5.0.2 and still perform this operation than you must use a compatible 5.0.2 Kernel and TWRP - posted below.
WARNING: Because of the engineering bootloader which is 5.0.2 you're going to lose the Fingerprint scanner. If you can live without it then proceed.
Root without tripping Knox and having all the functionality (keeping the Fingerprint scanner working) on 5.1.1 is not possible.
Only for 5.1.1, custom kernel and TWRP for 5.0.2 posted below + also a different method for 5.0.2
1. Download ODIN v 3.10.6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451 and extract it to a folder.
2. Search online/PM me for the engineering bootloader for your device G925F
3. Download the 3 archives from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-recovery-2-8-7-1-g925f-android-5-1-t3144866
3.a.1 TWRP 2.8.7.1 for S6 Edge - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765202
3.a.2 TWRP 2.8.7.1 for S6 - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html
3.b.1 Unikernel latest version - recommended kernel with so many benefits, now also working with devices that are using the enginnering bootloader (no need for 3.c. if choosing this kernel) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60533128
3.b.2 Alex-V Kernel - works on a G925F that has an engineering bootloader. All the other ones mess with the display in a way that you'll get a white screen with greenish non-understandable ui elements - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765201
3.c. Super SU - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765203
4. Disable Reactivation lock by going into Settings -> Lock screen and security -> Find My Mobile -> Login with your Samsung Account and then disable Reactivation lock
5. Disable Fingerprint screen lock type by going into Settings -> Lock screen and security -> Screen lock type and select any other screen type than Fingerprint
6. Copy to the your device's sdcard (phone): custom kernel and rest of downloaded files to flash
7. Shut down device and start in Download Mode (with the phone turned off keep pressing on power, volume down and home at the same time until a green screen pops up, then you'll need to press on the volume up key)
8. First you'll need to flash the engineering bootloader. Open ODIN and click on BT and select the appropriate sbin file downloaded at step 2. Flash it and wait for the device to reboot.
Don't be alarmed by the green text that will appear in the top left corner when the Samsung logo is being displayed. It's 100% normal and the device hasn't suffered any damage.
9. Enter Download Mode again and this time in ODIN, go to options and uncheck the Reboot device. Click on AP and select the TWRP 2.8.7.1 and flash it.
10. The device won't reboot because you've unchecked the Reboot device option. You'll need to press on power + volume down + home until the device turns off and then pres on power + volume up + home until you'll see the device enter the TWRP recovery. At that point the buttons can be released.
11. Inside TWRP press on Install and navigate to where you have stored the custom kernel and rest of the files. Select the custom kernel (then add another zip to flash and then select Super SU if using Alex-V kernel). Flash them and reboot your device.
12. Congratulations now you have a rooted G925F with Knox fuse intact!
13. You can now flash anything custom on your device without tripping Knox as long as you don't flash the bootloader with a stock one, you need to keep the engineering bootloader flashed.
If you want to return to stock at anytime you can flash a full stock ROM from Samsung and all should be fine. Knox isn't going to get tripped because everything is returning to stock, even the bootloader.
14. WARNING: Before flashing anything else after you've successfully acquired root you should backup your EFS partition just in case via TWRP recovery.
All credits for rooting and installing TWRP on G925F go to Alex-V, AndreiLux, simple Team, chainfire
The research on which kernel is going to root and work perfectly with a G925F that has an engineering bootloader installed go to me. A lot of trial and error, white & greenish screen, overheat etc...
If you have any questions post below.
Enjoy!
Custom Kernel and TWRP only for 5.0.2 - untested but should work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/28-04-2015-hybridmax-kernel-t3095373
Different workaroung for making it work for 5.0.2 users
If you're device is running 5.0.2 and it gets stuck on the Samsung screen, in order to fix it you'll need to flashed a stock 5.1.1 ROM then repeat the tutorial and all will work as expected with Knox being intact.
Device on which you can use the following custom ROM tutorial:
G925F 5.1.1 rooted with engineering bootloader
1. Download the 5.1.1 custom ROM you want
2.Download Unikernel or Alex-V's kernel
3.Copy to your device the files downloaded at 1 and 2
4.Boot your device into TWRP (recovery mode)
5.Flash the 5.1.1 custom ROM and the custom kernel. (you can select multiple things to flash one after another without rebooting the device afterwards)
6.After the ROM is flashed you'll need to continue the flashing procedure and not reboot the device until the custom kernel is also flashed
7.After the 2 packages have been flashed successfully you can reboot the device and enjoy your new rooted G925F running a custom ROM, custom Kernel and with your Knox intact.
Enjoy!
WARNING:
If you try to flash any other kernel, one that's not built specifically for G925F like Unikernel or Alex-V's you'll end up with a wrong TSP FW version, one that belongs to G920. Currently the only fix available for this issue is to use a specifically built kernel/stock kernel for G925F.
Here's what you're going to get after flashing any unified kernel (check via *#2663#)
Phone's TSP FW version: ST015681 - incorrect (G920)
Part's TSP FW version: ST0195E4 - correct (G925)
TSP threshold: 512
config tsp fw version: G920_ST_3A1F
tsp checksum data: 1B5C2E4D
Both Phone and Part have to have the same version, the correct one ST0195E4 for G925. If you try to use the TSP FW Update command you will make them both have the G920 TSP FW...so until a solution for this is found we cannot use any unified kernel while running the engineering bootloader.

Only F? No luck on W8 or A?
Does also engineering boot loader gives ability to reset knox too...?
I know Samsung service center can do it...
Or can we change the model with the engineering bootloader? (Aka switch W8 to F, T to A, others vise versa)
(Looking at HTC all series with S-OFF like god mode)

Unfortunately only F and T have been leaked for both G920 & G925.
I don't know about resetting Knox. I am under the impressing that the Knox Fuse is a psihical hardware one and once it gets burnt there's no way going back.
Haven tried to change the model, I'm guessing you are referring to a deeper change, not only to what's displayed inside the About, which would be pretty hard without deep knowledge of how a Samsung phone knows what model it is.
if it was a fuse it woudnt come on S3/Note2 because these phones were built before knox was even announced, unless they had a spare efuse lying around in the phones just to activate it in near future....
Hey is this a thread to promote Alex´s work? if so its fine, but i found that Aou kernel has a solution for the fingerprint issue on the Tmovile variants over the Unix kernel, am i wrong?

Yes and no. It promotes the only combination that is available to have a rooted G925F with custom kernel, rom, Knox intact running 5.1.1. Aou is only available for G92xT. I'm not aware of any workaround to fix the fingerprint sensor on 5.1.1 while running on a 5.0.2 engineering bootloader.

If you don't want to trip Knox you first have to flash the engineering bootloader, this will make the fingerprint scanner to not work. Then you can flash any custom kernel/rom without tripping knox. If you flash the OEM bootloader but keep anything else custom flashed you will trip Knox. So it's up to you. Keep Knox intact, lose fingerprint scanner, enjoy root and customisation or keep everything stock or don't care about knox and flash anything you want.

if you say fingerprint scanner issue is due to the sboot if i flash the stock 5.1.1 one over the root ONLY (everything else stock), am i going to trip knox? i do not think so, can't see why would it be so

I'll explain one more time.
You need to keep the engineering bootloader flashed at all times if you want to flash a custom kernel in order to get root and not trip Knox.
If you flash the engineering bootloader,then the kernel and then flash the stock bootloader back you are going to trip knox because you would be running a custom kernel. Is that more clear now?

Ok maybe I explain myself in a wrong way
1.- flash sboot.bin 5.0.2
2.- flash twrp recovery
3.- flash SU.zip
4.- flash back stock recovery 5.1.1 (at this point we achieved root and an intacted Knox)
5.- flash back stock sboot.bin 5.1.1 (so here we recover the fingerprint scanner)
This is the way I think, where is the fail? Sorry if I'm an annoying guy XD
NOTE: I'm only concerning about getting root I don't care about custom roms or so, just root

You misses a step there. In order to get root you'll need to flash a custom kernel. That's a deal breaker if you want to keep root, knox intact and return to stock bootloader. You simply cannot have this combination.

Not unless, someone upgrade and then try to downgrade
OK, dumb question. I've rooted devices, put custom ROMs on them, wiped them, etc. all before. But one thing I'm not sure about.
If I flash this EPJ2 using Odin, would that wipe out all my apps and settings? Or would I only lose root until I re-root?
Just wondering if I should plan on backing everything up. Thanks.
I took the plunge from maximum overdrive, phone feels smoother than before.

Flashed the file above un odin. Came from overdrive with beastmode kernel. Although I miss the customization my phone always felt laggy. I debloated, rooted and installed Xposed. So far so good

Have you tried to install overdrive again? Just curious to see if it works.

You can still install all the TW based MM roms without any issues after upgrading to EPJ2, no problem with wifi/nfc etc.

The question can you use OD V3.2 after upgrading to EPJ2.....cause OD said you would lose his Rom once you update. Has anyone tried that yet?

As, I said any TW MM will work. If you install EPJ2 on top of another ROM, you will obviously lose customization.
If you need to go back to OD, you would need to Wipe your ROM and install OD through TWRP recovery.

Ok, just wanted to know if I could still use OD on the new bootloaders. Wasn't sure if I could still use custom MM ROM's.
@OvrDriVE Let say I updated to EPJ2 would I still be able to flash v3.2 on top of that? I'm just curious!
Thanks

My experience is that you can downgrade from the MM Series of T-Mobile Firmware BLs and Modems.
For example, I was successfully able to switch between DOK2, EPE3 and EPJ2 using Odin 3.11.1.
I'll include just the Bootloader (BL) and Modem (CP) Odin files in case anyone wants 'em, as I usually find them in a post somewhere down the line on the official firmware comments.

Quickie Instructions I have on a notepad file along with these files on my SD Card for reference.
Found it on some forum or site that was real helpful!
INSTALLING THESE FILES
1. Load phone in download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
2. Open ODIN3 on your computer. (Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed, you can install KIES to get these.)
3. Load the bootloader file in BL.
3a. Load the modem file in CP.
4. Hit the start button, and let the files flash.
5. If there are no error messages in the log portion of ODIN3, then you have successfully flashed and upgraded to the bootloader/modem.
Note: You can check this in your "Settings - About Phone" section.
Here's a screenie from my CM 12.1 flashed phone.

Unfortunetly for me, doesn't work on T3.
Okay, here is the deal. I was trying to install a costum rom on my att galaxy s4. What I did was I rooted it using king root and tried to flash a rom through rom toolbox, but I believe it was just going to take me to my recovery. After that the screen got stuck on the costum screen with the padlock, and only seems to turn on with a charger plugged into it. I am on 5.0.1 lollipop and have managed to flash the original recovery, but any stock rom I try to flash using Odin fails by saying complete thread failed or something like that, and says on my phone binary 1 or something like that. I really need help on where to start.
Thanks
What is the exact Odin error?
AT&T never released a full firmware for flashing via Odin beyond 4.1.2. Look here for a possible solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
Once the phone is running a 4.3 or higher bootloader, the bootloader is locked and custom ROMs can't be installed unless the custom ROM is based on a stock ROM.
There's an ODIN flashable Android 4.2.2 MDL bootloader tar file out there somewhere too.
If the bootloader is locked, and it sounds like it is since it's running 5.01, Odin will not be able to flash a 4.2.2 ROM or bootloader.

Are there any other options, or should I just give up on it?
Look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814.
Pay attention to this part of the post which may help:
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.

I finally fixed it. I had downloaded that rom before, but it hadn't worked. I decided to try it again and used a different USB port and it worked! Thanks for the help!
