:good:Can't wait! Also for people who want to back things up prior to root, you can use Helium from the playstore.

Thank you DG. I have one question that I can't find an answer to. Does flashing any stock firmware trip Knox? For example you stated up above that flashing back to stock will remove the custom status and flashing back to stock will take care of that. So are you saying that flashing stock will NOT trip the counter?
I'm just really curious.

"Copy the contents of Root_de_la_Vega.zip to the root of your sdcard"
internal sdcard or external sdcard?

Is there custom recovery, or is that too come in the future? Will there be a you tube video showing how this root process is achieved? This seems different when I rooted my gnote one. Awesome work op!

Internal sdcard, updated the instructions.
No recovery, bootloader is still locked.
I won't be doing a youtube video, if someone wants to do one, I will add it to the QA

Unfreeze My Magazine.21Hey guys, just released a new tool for rooting. Now if a new firmware drops you won't have to wait for me to release something
Universal Root de la Vega
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=249885019Quick update...
DO NOTE TAKE OTA UPDATES OR UPDATE WITH STOCK ODIN FILES THAT CONTAIN BOOTLOADER UPDATES!!
They have caught on and have started blocking the modified system.img.ext417Ok, I have updated the rooting method so the downgrade isn't required! Kind of.
Instead of flashing everything back to MI1, you just flash the system partition and cache. The root files have grown a bit that go on the sdcard, that is because I yanked the MI9 files that are needed to make everything function properly. Like the guy who had issues with his wifi, he skipped downgrading entirely to MI1, I did the same thing and then fixed it with my MI9 dump.
This new method will bring everything back to MI9 except the system partition which should solve the heat issues some of you are experiencing. I will have it ready at some point today. I am still waiting on my source to get back to me on the MI9 odin files, hopefully he will come thru soon.
The method should be easier too, just flash in odin and boot. If not, it will be about the same as it is now.
