QUOTE(wajahebat @ Jun 18 2014, 03:44 PM) You can download your latest firmware from www.sammobile.com. And flash using Odin without tripping the knox. Root will trigger the knox flag to 0x1, that's the basic until now but im unsure of i9505. As im i9500 user. Ive seen quite a lot of dev's doing an analysis on how the knox behavior. Visit XDA's forum   QUOTE(mudkipryan94 @ Jun 18 2014, 04:07 PM) as ex-S4 4G , i9505 owners said, once u root w CF-auto root, your knox counter will triggered forever... this s4 is still in warranty,since Knox BL is started from 4.3 MK5 firmware till NDNB firmwares [imo] well, just root it n dun fear about it as well  anyway, own opinions  my concern is to have another kernel so that i can control n limit voltage so that it consume low power and yield minimize temp.. but root will knox counter, im thinking twice to do or not to do.. my s2 is super easy then this s4 matter   |

After I update im no longer can dowgrade rom ..correct? |

QUOTE(wajahebat @ Jun 21 2014, 11:13 PM) So true, Helium app should be good to make app backup. But i think problem may arise when you restore your app data after flash 4.4.2 is there any method to root 4.2.2 so that i can install TB ..easy like that.. so that sure i can't have prob to restore data As previous rom (where you made backup) is on 4.2 JB. But im not soo sure. Can try tho. advice plz |
