Towelroot??

Just wondering if anyone has tried the new towelroot.com on a sprint s4. I'm on the latest OTA and according to the thread it looks like it should work (kernel build date is Jan 2014). I might give it a go

please do report back! I'm currently on 4.3 and refuse to go to 4.4+ if I can't root safely without tripping Knox. I've been posting in the towelroot thread, but no one seems to know.

Sadly, no dice. I tried it several times. It went through the motions and reboot, but never did anything to my knowledge. Installed rootchecker and it confirmed that root was not installed oh well.
