Not atm, flashing a custom recovery or kernel with (Mobile) Odin will trip the KNOX flag.

Installing a custom recovery will increment the Knox flag.
There are hundreds of threads about this, with abundant detail if you were looking for any elaboration.

It's easy to see how a search would benefit the OP. Your post, not so much.

I meant no disrespect. You've helped me before. I don't post much because I do a ton of searching and find answers almost every single time. But there are sometimes we can't find all the answers. We ask and then are told to search lol.

The HTC one is made for HTC and uses the framework... You must wait for someone to port it... Don't know if it the same for AOSP...

Hello. I did not understand, at the end you managed to flash the htc browser on another device?
Ciao. Non ho ben capito, alla fine sei riuscito a flashare il browser htc su un'altro dispositivo?

Wow, I don't think you can run that, could be wrong, you would probably get it to flash, but the network may not work at all.

I'm pretty sure it won't brick your device as long as you flash your own kernel or a kernel for your device after flashing firmware but before rebooting. I have tried a few 9505 roms without bricking.

Good answer.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Okay, I get that, but it's kind of ridiculous to ask others to potentially brick their device to test something you want so that you don't have to brick your device. Get what I'm saying?
Anyways if you go into the original developement thread for our s4 there are kernels for our device. They are labeled jfltecan or i337m. These are safe for your phone. A kernel is a layer of software that starts the hardware and allows the OS to communicate with the display, radio, camera, speakers, etc... When you flash a custom rom from these threads it usually includes a kernel. This is the main part of rom flashing that can cause bricks. If the kernel is wrong you're going to have a bad time.
If you have a kernel you know works for your phone you can flash that after flashing your rom but before rebooting. That way the worst thing you should have to face is a bootloop.
Hopefully you find this helpful.

The best thing you can do is read read read. Before you ask other people to figure stuff out for you read up! Lots of your questions have been asked before. If you can't find an answer ask people to help, not to do it for you. You'll learn way faster that way.

They will, but you will want to have a jfltecan kernel that you can flash before rebooting. Flash the 9505 rom then flash proper kernel, clear cache and dalvik cache then reboot.

It will bootloop if it does not work, I haven't seen software brick a s4 yet, unless you start playing with the bootloader/partitions, which if you are not a dev, shouldn't even be concerned with.

Out of curiosity, why root? Not much of a need on the Nexus 7. Enjoy your new tablet and don't stress over the little stuff, amigo!
Also, not sure, but I think the toolkit supports the LTE variant. I may be wrong though.

If you're going to root, it's better to do it as soon as you get your device. Root requires unlocking your bootloader and thus wipes your device.

Interesting. There is no root guide for deb (the LTE version of N7 2013). I see the root guide for flo, which bizarrely recommends using autoroot instead of just installing the superuser binaries (why? @philos64 ). I'm tempted to write one for deb myself, despite not having deb on hand (which is generally bad form).
If you want me to write a root guide for deb, thank this post and I'll write it. Alternately, a user with deb on hand and a good understanding of the two required fastboot commands and TWRP could do it.

Spoiler alert. Rooting deb is the same as flo, but I'm itching to create a root guide that doesn't create unnecessary steps or involve a root kit. So yes, I'll do it.

Bricking when rooting is rare as long as you use the right files. And Samsung devices are pretty easy to unbrick you just flash stock back to the devices.
