Like I said I bought 4 Note 3's for a Sprint family plan.

I already have two fully functional note 3's that I have rooted the piss out of and know exactly how to get them stock or rooted three ways to Sunday.

My question is I am not sure if I see a whole lot of difference on 5.0. Yes its nice but is it that big of a deal?

I mean it doesn't really matter if I trip KNOX but if I ever wanted to sell these it would be easier to sell if they were BONE stock.

Options:

1. Do not trip KNOX and just Towel Root all 4 phones and put whatever I want on them and keep it BONE stock. If I ever sell I can just flash stock ROM and rock out with my **** out.

2. Or can I dirty root them all via cf auto root. Trip KNOX and have the latest OS on the phone. I can still get the device to BONE stock except it will say KNOX 0x1.

Well ...

Can you guys chime in and let me know your thoughts? Which option should I choose? Am I missing something on why I should or shouldn't?

I have figured out how to perfectly flash the note 3 on stock DEODEX ROM and get Xposed Installer working on 5.0. But I can get it working on 4.3 or 5.0 perfectly. Am I missing some big feature either way? Weather it be 4.3 or 5.0? I mean should I stay with 4.3 just with ease and battery or 5.0 for something else?

Let me know!

Thanks!

P.S. And what I mean about 4.3 and 5.0 is the Android Operating System. Stay with Jellybean or go with Lollipop?

Update - 01

WoW! These phones are on the orginal "N900PVPUBMI3" firmware. They must be some of the original ones out there.

at this point in the device's life cycle, I would think it would no longer really matter. Mine is 0x1 (2). I actually have a custom 6.0.1 ROM on mine that runs great, and has working hotspot. Only thing i really needed was the s-pen software. I would recommend the update because of stagefright and just general security patches.
