I've looked thoroughly and haven't really found anyone on MJ4 who rooted besides the Kingo method (too sketch for me). Has anyone tried the CF Auto root/qbking77's root method? Is there anything extra I have to do? I know it trips Knox. And are there any limitations of having Knox flipped? Like am I able to use any ROM or recovery?
I used QBking77's method and it worked great. Afterwards, download SuperSU from the Play Store to control your rooted programs and then flash TWRP or whatever recovery method you want. I used Goo Manager for that. Then you are all set to go. You can stay in stock rooted if you want or flash one of several ROMs currently available. Most developers and rooters are not concerned with the security features of Knox and I am not either. In fact most ROMs just omit it. You will be able to make your Nandroids and recover your previous ROMs just like on your previous phones. I made a Nandroid immediately after rooting just in case.
You may want to start with Xposed Installer (Framework) and Wanam Xposed while stock rooted to make some changes to your system just to get used to it and then just dive into some ROMs. Don't forget to make Nandroids before testing any ROMs. Most ROMs can be found here:
