Is the bootloader locked on K-zoom? Could ChainFire help with a CF-auto-root? I asked for a CF-auto-root for the GalCam2.

Hello Folks!
I'm Livio, i'm writing from Italy!
i followed this forum for along time and thanks to You i know almost everything needed, about my phones. i'm owner of a S2, S3, S4 and a S4Zoom (each one with its own root and recovery, except S4Zoom that is without recovery). i'd like to change my s4 zoom for a K Zoom...so i'm here to ask about this smartphone.
Is it under Knox protection like S4? probably Knox will be present like a software in app menù but is it still present in Download Mode (Knox Warranty status)?

I saw, looking at the various reviews that appeared on youtube, that the "knox" app is not present but I wanted a confirmation; thank you very much for the info! Out of curiosity, can you upload a photo of the "Download mode" of the smartphone? thanks in advance! Another question i'd like to make you is about the presence of "Dual Shot" in this smartphone (like S4 does) . is it possible take a picture like that? again, thank you!

Well, I'll tell you my opinion:
if you're looking for a camera upgrade, a more powerful and modern camera, a better camera than S4Zoom... absolutely not, hold tight your S4 Zoom. there are differences between the options and the "shutter mode" of the two smartphones but nothing that worth the buying....i tried to shot the same object in the same situation and position. With KZ (K Zoom) photos are more clear BUT ONLY when you see it on a pc AND ONLY when you use magnification....in a few words: no noticeable differencies. i'll tell you that ergonomics is geater with S4Z (S4 Zoom) and that the zoom of S4Z is more cool (because persons see you moving hand to enlarge or make smaller the scene...)
if you're looking for a better phone side , for a fastest phone with no lag, a larger screen with chance to write in a better way (depending from the size of your fingers), a more accurate touch (in case of gaming)...then absolutely yes, change your S4Z. KZ has all of this.
if you'd like to know something in particular, let me know!

the flash is slightly better, barely louder, barely powerful.
the result is that (in complete darkness), the whites barely stand out more. other colors remain similar and can give an impression of "more natural color" (not necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing). i'm testing KZ and S4Z in "auto" mode. I have not had the opportunity to take pictures backlight so far. the attached files are an example. it's a photo taken to a simple wall with a particular of the door and the radiator. you can see colors and white!

am satisfied with s4zoom camera quality ... cant wait to hold the Mobile version of it (kz)

Yes! I had the S4 Zoom and the K Zoom I have now is a worthy upgrade as it is better in every way, especially the form factor, screen size and shooting modes. I have no regrets.
thanks for confirmation
am currently waiting for my k zoom to be shipped... another 10 days to go !Similar threads

5Sucessful Root of Galaxy K Zoom
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
If anyone is interested, I have sucessfully Rooted my Galaxy K using this tutorial for the Note 3 Neo:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2777693
It uses CF-Auto-Root, and as I figured the Galaxy K and Note 3 Neo share the same processor it might be worth a try.
I have noticed no Ill effects so far, and everything works as expected. As there doesn't seem to be a forum for the K I didn't know where else to post this.
Just remember I am not responsible for your device if this goes tits up.....
Enjoy!33
thanks you!!!!!!
i will give it a look!
for now i tested Towelroot V3 without success.
i'm going to test your method!

BOOOOOOOOOM, rooted!!!!!!!
your method works great!!!!!!!!!!
you're the main man
ps: when Odin says "reset", the phone will shutdown and take more time to reboot. it's normal. it will take 30-40 seconds to reboot after the Odin action! it will install SuperSu, also. great; now i have full ownership on my phone. thanks to ddevey2As one of the first to own one of these cameras on launch day, I have been pretty much promoting it everywhere and certainly contributed a lot in these and other similar forums. But as time has passed it's evident that Samsung has no love for this first edition as they have failed to keep it updated. Even the second edition offers little improvement, just a slight memory increase and minor CPU increase,it still runs Jelly Bean. It's a real shame as these two had so much potential.
The Galaxy Camera takes superb photo's but the interface lags and the start up is slow and it lacks so much that Kit-Kat could fix. Then there's the various scene modes found on the Galaxy S4 and S5 that aren't available on this capable camera.
So.. I recently played around with a Galaxy S4 Zoom and apart from only having 10x zoom rather than 21x and slightly smaller screen the whole experience seemed better. Which prompted me to look at the upcoming GALAXY K ZOOM. Released this week in the UK sporting a 20.7MP camera, better connectivity, double the ram, faster processor, much better battery life, Xenon and LED flash, NFC, many more scene choices, Android 4.4.2 and a lot more specs too many to mention... all in a lighter smaller chassis, and all for £360 (and includes a case thrown in for pre-orders worth £20) means I am done with the Galaxy Camera and today I have ordered the K Zoom.
I hope things for you guys improve, but I wouldn't be holding my breath sadly.
So, farewell Galaxy Camera forum, it's been nice knowing you.
