Root [Boost Mobile] OTA Updated 4.3 and Knox 0x1

[kingpickle]

Updated to OTA then flashed a custom recovery which ofcourse triggered the knox 0x1 flag (which I dont care about anyways). What i'm wondering is if this version of CM10.2 would work for me out the box (4G/MMS/Wifi) with my current knoxed bootloader. What precautions should I take before going for it.

I also have a jtag box and was wondering if I were to flash a previous bootloader (which from what I understand will brick the phone), would it be unbrickable via jtag.

As far as the second part of your post, my understanding is that bricking via Knox, as in trying to restore a previous bootloader, is the ultimate brick that even a jtag cannot fix.

Yes

As far as the stable build of CM 10.2, it works for the VM version so should work for Boost as well. I would download it directly from the Cyanogen website, not from a third party. You will need to modify the assert lines so that it recognizes your MK5 boot loader, and you will need to flash the SuperSU update zip version 1.80 in the same session in order to disable the Knox apps, otherwise Knox will activate and block your root attempt. Finally, the standard issues will apply when flashing a Sprint 4.3 custom ROM-LTE and MMS will require an APN fix that will allow one or the other but not both at the same time.
Hope this helps!
