As far as you wanting to know about putting kitkat on phone yes you can.
Two ways to achieve this one with a custom rom based on kitkat. Theres custom roms for every version of android. Other way is generally there is a rooted stock rom of various android versions as well jb, kitkat, etc.

No. You did right!

You might want to back everything up externally and do a factory reset; just helps the new software bed in without any old cached system info around.

If you still want to root your device post back.

Being able to do backups with a custom recovery and flash new roms is great.

I don't know about the international version, but on US varients one of the first benefits of rooting is the ability to remove carrier bloat. Megabytes of apps that I will never use. This frees up a lot of memory and improves battery life.

There are many apps that require root to run. Some very useful utilities.

You should be able to use TowelRoot to get root without tripping Knox. You don't have to install a custom recovery or connect to a PC. The easiest root method ever.

You will not Brick your phone even if it does not work.

Here's a few rooted apps ideas fr you. The one app that goes hand in hand with rooting is titanium backup. This allows full app control you can erase, backup apps with it amongst other options. You will want a file explorer, personally i use es file explorer there's others as well. I would also recommend an apps to sd app as well example is apps2sd.

Great call on towelroot totally forgot about!!!!!!! I read about it just the other day glad knox is getting knocked down finally. I would root a knox bootloader phone if i had to because 'what i do, but having warranty in back pocket is cool

wyelkins · Jul 4, 2014

Knox is not a problem with TowelRoot.

Personally, I have to have a custom recovery and that DOES trip Knox. But, my phone is 11 months old. I am not really worried about Warranty.

So i have made the 4.3 update, but my phone move slower, delayed. What it is wrong, i did a factory reset after update. Or what shall i do? Maybe if i root it will help? If i root, tell me pls the exact programs to use cuz i am newbie in all this.

Rooting, alone, doesn't affect performance. A factory reset will probably be the most common advice you'll get in this situation. But you say you did that, I see.

Try a custom rom, You might like it

fuzi · Jul 7, 2014

Man, it's not like I don't like how it looks now, it's about how it moves! Slow, is there anything that can help?

whats your setup? You rooted? Running a custom rom? If rooted one option is to overclock your phone to run faster, you can find an app on play store
