?

 

I'll answer myself and also help those trying not to void their warranty.
It works perfectly!!! But no custom recovery. anything flashed through odin or unlocking bootloader will trip knox.

 

From another post I read seems like any custom recovery will trip knox. I found an xga post saying that mobile odin will not trip knox flashing a Rom if kernel doesn't change and you do it without custom recovery. What kit Kit roms for our phone
Have no custom kernels and as far as I know most roms don't have built in recovery. Just thinking if I try to flash a custom rom and bypass knox it should be worth the effort. Like a stable kit Kat rom with no custom kernel not extremely difficult to configure. Any suggestions?

I really thought beanstalk looked cool. However i don't know enough to know if it has a custom kernel. Or if there are easier to configure more stable kit Kat roms.
Also I use my phone for exchange email for work I can't pick a rom that doesn't have active sync working.

 

Here is the question. Samsung is going to release a kit Kat ota. I could wait till it gets rooted. Unroot and take ota and reroot. What is the time frame of its release? Or I could flash jdsingles rom. Once the ota comes out will only stock roms have the same kernel? Or will there be others? More importantly if I except tripping knox eventually does active sync work properly on any custom kit Kat roms? I currently have tethering working and I froze bloat so I'm running fine on stock right now.I use this phone for work msexchange, email so having that working outweighs my desire to try custom roms as well.so far stock email is the only email I've been able to use with exchange, enhanced email and k9 have worked on other phones but not on my samsung phones.does anyone here use a custom kikat rom with exchange email and if they do what email client do they use?

 

I may not care about the warranty after it ends. Is there a custom rom with kk that supports active sync for exchange?
Yes I was already going to stay stock at least till april 28th for the warranty. But as long as I have this job or a job that uses msexchange I have no choice but to be stock unless I know I can use msexchange email on the custom rom through an email client. Im sure someone will eventually release a rooted custom version of the ota. Even though that might seem to take an eternity.

 

Only thing is have you tried it? Or someone you know tried it? Which custom rom can you verify that it worked with? Id like to eventually try a kit Kat rom. But I can't take a chance that two many things won't work.
Even if it worked with stock it wouldn't prove whether it will work with the rom I flash.

 

So slimkat is a slimmed down version of stock kk looks cool. All I need is apn fix?
So its very fast no bloat. Stable? Thinking I might have to check it out when warranty ends.

This apn fix?

Everything else works out of the box after flashing philz the rom and apn fix?

Is there a non alpha stable build of slim kat?

Is it the file for the Sprint S3 since boost mobile is not listed

this one http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1044-d2spr

Which rom do I use when I look on slimroms. I don't see the sph-L710 listed.

 

Actually no next week.
Because knox tripping is irreversible.
Reason knox is not currently tripped and my 14 days ends on
The 28th.

Which means free replacement till 28th as long as knox isnt tripped.
I believe i can just unroot through super SU.

I am registered for the boost esperian, insurance as well, however that costs at least 80 dollars to replace.

It covers lost or stolen phones.

The 14 day boost may not cover lost stolen. I'm sure also not intentional damage.
Or I'm also not sure which accidental damage is covered either.
Since I know for a fact boost insurance will cover it and if it happens for the deductible fee.
I've decided I'll probably do it next week.

So im not actually lying if it somehow gets lost.

So yes i would unfortunately have to pay the deductible but better than the full price.

Im just not tripping knox till my 14 days is up.

It is a boost certified phone.

No rush ive used custom roms before.

If i use slimkat which would probably be the most benefit knox will
Trip. Mobile odin on a stock rom ie,jdsingle might not trip it but not having
Custom recovery to flash back in the event of an issue isnt good.
Also probably not a huge benefit to use a stock deodexed rom over the original stock rom anyway. I usually only flash roms when i can use a newer os, on older phones that may not get updated.

Which recovery did you use that bootlooped the phone?
Was going to try philz.
Heard it was like cwm.
Never once bricked a phone installing custom recovery so far. Well if custom recovery mounts through odin I'm going to go slimkat. If it doesn't stock has been working fine. Maybe already being already rooted will help. Since I'm not sure the 14 day guarantee covers everything, I may have to pay a deductible should anything go wrong. Does my version of odin matter? Because I already have an old version installed from my sgs2? Looking forward to trying it next week. I just wanted to evaluate this phone 14 days without tripping knox. After that I have to pay a deductible if it breaks for any reason anyway.

 

im also assuming that since i have stock recovery i cannot flash philz there.
so i downloaded the md5.tar to flash it through odin.
then once philz is working no more odin backup flash everything from philz cwm
downloading all my files to get ready for friday night flashing.
