Does anyone have any info if you're on the "next plan" and root the device on what happens when your turn the device in? I bet att will try and charge your for the device or something along those lines.... just a thought.
If they actually check then you're screwed and will have to pay the insurance replacement fee. Not that you should be on the NEXT plan in the first place, it's a rip off no matter which way you slice it.

ahh reading..its fundamental..............BTW-the benefit of PRO versions of SuperSU or SuperUser also is that you can set it to auto-grant permissions...if that can truly be considered a benifit considering the risks.

Got Xposed- Wanum module, all nice and tweaked. Manually installed a volume booster. Feeling pretty good.

Is this the vomule booster you installed?

If yes, does it work nice when you are in low volume? And when you set media volume to about 5 (of the traditional 1 to 15 scale) it will be comfortably and truly low or the low volume levels are loud even on the lowest levels?

I'm planning to flash the moderate boost file...

Unfortunately, yes that is correct...:crying:
After reading again I noticed that this "issue" will only be related to devices that were not originally shipped with Android 4.3 and Knox already. In this case, S 3, S 4, Note II, etc...

Note 3 will not be affected by this "no upgrade anymore", since it already was developed with Knox.


"As we mentioned above, Devices like S4, S3 and Note II which came without KNOX will get the KNOX system.For example, S4 I9505 got about a month ago 4.2.2 update that includes KNOX-enabled system(MH1). If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsung’s 4.3 update is KNOX-enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmware(for example MH8->MGA), you won’t be able to install 4.3 update."

Hey man. I just checked this out. I see good comments, but when I went to the site on my phone and see the supported devices it doesn't show the at&t model. Upon clicking on the international version it says 404 error. This will work for our "at&t" model?

Just download the program and plug your phone up. The program (Kingo) will say what device is hooked up. Dont worry about clicking on your exact phone and downloading it that way. Just click the download button on the main page.

I am a bit confused.. How does this kingoapp Web site make money and pay their developers?.. If in fact this software is totally harmless and has no adware or back doors then what is their motivation?

Worked perfectly. You do not need to be in download mode. Just regular boot. Fantastic.

I'm quite happy to carry on with stock Rom for the time being, I do want root so as to be able to use applications like Greenify,TB, Antutu and many others. One question though,I see in the title line that what is being discussed is AT&T version: mine is the international version and with no simlock. Can I also use this wonderful rooting program? Many thanks in advance

Whats the difference between kingo and root de la vega????

And why is the root de la vega thread locked?
With Root de la vega ,,,,,It was the first way we could root (Had to do a bunch of steps)

With Kingo, you simply download the program and plug your phone up and hit ROOT....Done

When you download Kingo and plug your phone up, if it says your device type in the programs window, you should be good.
Kingo will not let you root if its not compatible

This was brought up on the AT&T S4 forum and the thread was closed momentarily and then reopened by a mod saying that the method was verified and source was given or something like that.
