Hi Kaml.

Yeah, it's a bit confusing when you first go to it. If you dont like the adrenaline/fear/expectation mix, better is to ask someone else to do it for you :)

You say that's too complicated to root with a locked bootloader. That’s not always true, it’s relative. The post I linked to you is very clear and it’s not complicated at all, but you will need to start from a 4.2.2 rooted ROM, maybe that’s the complicated part for you.

Anyway, I suggest you to confirm if you can unlock your bootloader. Did you checked it already? It may save you time by knowing it beforehand.

To check, go to the dialer and type: *#*#7378423#*#* then go for Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you are able to unlock it. This is from thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2484622

Read that thread, especially when it says “before unlocking please take backup TA partition from here”. By backing up the TA partition you can restore it later if need and then you have some chance of not losing Sony warranty if you ever need it.

Im not aware of other methods for rooting 4.3 besides the link I posted on my first reply, take a look and you will find other methods (probably).

Anyway, if you are interested in backing up the TA partition, it’s only possible if you have a rooted phone already and that’s kinda of a chicken/egg problem so that’s another motive of seeking for rooting methods without touching the bootloader at first. One way to solve it is to half root your phone, enable USB debugging and Unknown Sources from development menu, then run the script to backup the TA partition.

How can i downgrade to 4.1 SS!?
[Sony Xperia M] Shazam_strikes:
Bro you need to flash the 4.1 firmware using the flashtool.

I was just wondering if now that there is a 4.4.2 ota out for the DNA that it will make the custom roms more stable? I updated to it and kept root and it doesn't seem to be any different and I hate the stock ui. Want to go back to a custom Rom but they all seem to have some issue or other that gets old over time so I end up crack flashing everything on here every few days haha.

[HTC Droid DNA] CH1978:
Yea I saw that a couple days ago. Guess I worded it wrong. Now that the droid has a stock 4.4.2 will the developers be able to take whatever parts they need from it to fix the bugs etc on custom roms? Or will the DNA having the 4.4.2 radio and kernels etc will it make the custom roms such as the m7 and m8 ports and Google editions of 4.4.2 more stable?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
HTC did in fact release the 442 kernel source, so new 442 Roms will be stable and I can fix z and my beast mode kernel
[HTC Droid DNA] CH1978:
Awesome!!!

4.4.2 Sense based ROMs definitely should be much better. The CM based ones probably not a big difference.

How do I check if my bootloader is unlocked? Is there any way to unlock this device without going through Motorola?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
You can check in the AP Fastboot screen. It will say unlocked if the BL is unlocked. You can try the UL exploit, as this is a 925, but I'm not sure it would work. Why not go through Moto?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauricioBR:
The most obvious way to know if it's unlocked is whether the phone shows a "Bootloader Unlocked" warning on boot. If that's not shown, [MENTION=5127013]RikRong[/MENTION] told the way -- AP Fastboot.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bennyb0y:
I have the T-Mobile MDA Vario with the recent update from Jun 2006:

ROM Version: 2.21.2.6 WWE

ROM Date: 3/9/06 (March 9th)

Radio version: 02.19.11

Protocol version: 4.1.13.09

ExtROM version: 2.21.2.109

Am also running Magic Button v 2.0 (build 51023). No overclocking or anything else.

Bottom line is I go into IExplorer, connect to GPRS to browse to any web page. Then I close IExplorer and from then on when I use the keyboard to type a text message for some reason everytime I create a New Text Message it always defaults to upper-case as if the CAPS SHIFT was double-pressed. This is annoying as I always have to double-press the Caps Shift key before typing any text.

This also happened BEFORE I applied the update. Is this some kind of overseen bug? Has anyone seen a fix for this? Would appreciate it for piece of mind. :( I always have to reboot the device each time as a workaround.

Thanks.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
I think you should be more clear on what your problem is; I for one can't understand you, but if your sdcard0 only has two folders, it would seem that it just got formatted. Also, I don't know what custom rom you flashed, but if you're on 4.4 and format the internal memory, it becomes unreadable, can't remember why. You have to go back to 4.1-4.3 and format from there.

I dunno why everyone is so uptight about tripping knox because regardless of whether knox has been triggered, Samsung has an obligation to fix our devices under warranty. They have to prove that any fault with the device is the direct cause of being rooted or changing the system software. This is the law in Europe and applies to consumers who have purchased a device in the EU

Even so, rooting does not void your warranty because in the event of a repair being needed, Samsung have to prove that you or I changing the system software or rooting our devices was the direct cause of the malfunction.

Rooting with custom state, binary counter or knox void warranty outside of Europe and lower it's used value or just can't get it sold for business related product

Jailbreaking doesn't scar an iPhone, but if you send it in "as-is", people at Apple won't fix it for you regardless of the problem.

This time you get a permanent scar when you root. So you try to be as careful when scraping your knife on your screen, in case it gets that permanent scar.

Wow, you must feel so proud to try and bump up your post count!

Go edit the Wikipedia and do something about it, instead of running around and saying someone's wrong when you don't have sh*t to show for it.

We know S4 had it first, I was telling them to fix the wrong Wikipedia entry. Go have a read and stop bumping old threads up for useless responses as you wrote above.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdm9mm:
Knox was preloaded but not implemented on the S4. So it had it before the Note 3, it was just not implemented but it was there ready to be triggered.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
Yes, that is what I meant, and exactly what I said. It was not implemented until the Note 3.

Everything was preloaded ever since the start of the usage of Snapdragon chips. That is why KNOX can be installed onto older devices prior to the S4 as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BROKEN1981:
Wow total unexpected! !!! Nice way to act like a snot over the net. If you now say you know s4 had it first then why do you say otherwise? And what do you mean I don't have crap to show for? Do you know me? No. And it was not to boost post count. Why would I car about that? As soon as vzw had the s3 and s4 I had it. And on day one when I got the s4 vzw tried to tell me how good Knox was.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
Wow. Do you not understand what's being said above? Read carefully word for word.

I don't need to know you, but at least I don't go around saying "S4 had it before note 3. FACT" with no facts given and shown statistically and visually with pictures and timeline facts. A community is supposed answer clearly and detailedly, not just pop in answers that prove no point except to back people up.

I was just assuming on the Wiki's facts, but if they are wrong, I was telling people to go change it, but why isn't anyone changing it?

You have to update your S4 for KNOX. But you do not have to update your Note 3 for KNOX built-in. It is your choice and your mistake if you did so.

Anyways, there's no point arguing - Note 3 came preloaded with KNOX. S4 is your 'mistake' or intention to install KNOX (but you weren't forced to). Whatever the Wiki says, someone who has an S4 should go fix it. No point arguing if you can't just fix the wiki and finish it off.

as for rooting, Saferoot + Disable_Knox method worked for me no problem , and to tether I had to use app " WiFi Tehther Router " which can be found in Play Store and works great ..
