My wife is using the SGN2 with JB, not sure is 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. And I plan to update her SGN2 to the latest KK 4.4.2 MY rom via OTA.
But before I do that, there are few things I need to clarify.
1. Will the Knox be implement once updated to KK 4.4.2?
2. If Knox is implemented, I assume it will work similar like the SGN3, which means we can't flash custom kernels, recovery, roms in order to keep the Knox flag 0x0?
3. If the Knox is not coming together with the KK 4.4.2 MY rom, meaning we can still root the device and install custom recovery like usual, then reset the counters by using Triangle Away?
4. So far, any SGN2 user with KK 4.4.2 MY rom successfully rooted with Towelroot?
5. Once we are in KK 4.4.2 MY rom, can we still move the apps into the external SDcard?
I hope some fellow sifus can enlighten me, so that I won't screw up my wife SNG2...

Updating to KitKat and yes you will have Knox. Even have Knox you still can install custom ROM's kernel, recovery etc. Just that you will get Knox warranty void 1. If already out of warranty you can just ignore it la. Triangle Away can reset the flash counter and System Status but cannot reset Knox warranty void.
You can either stay on latest non-Knoxed bootloader which is MJ5 but if you use latest ROM (flash via recovery not ODIN) you will encounter many problems such as WiFi not working, but can be fixed with a patch and cannot charge the phone while the phone is off.
SD issue you can go Playstore download KitKat SD Fix.
So in conclusion, just go for 4.4.2 if the phone already out of warranty or you don't care about warranty.
