Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 so download goomanager and use TWRP to make a nandroid backup(which from my understanding is a complete system image of what my phone was when the backup happened) just to have for safe keeping just in case? I probably wont be fooling with roms...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Awesome. Guess I won't be fooling with that either. Guys I appreciate the friendly support and help here. I'll be in touch if I got any other questions. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Yea I've been reading a lot about the roms. I might hold off and just stay rooted until more stable 4.4 roms come out. Truthfully all this has been motivated by not being able to use Google wallet since at&t blocked it. If I could stay on my...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Got titanium back up. From it I can destroy the bloatware, and other stuff right? Also when I rooted it it disabled Knox. Can I completely remove it with titanium? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Cf was stupid easy. I am successfully rooted. Now it's either twrp/cwm. Use one of them to flash the actual rom I want. Now that I'm rooted what's this I always hear about making backups? Any suggestions? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Gonna be real honest here. I've been doing more reading and root is step one. I'm a noob to all of this. Gonna do a root now. For the record I was watching YouTube video about getting kit kat. He said twrp then install cwm, the use cwm to flash...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 That makes a lot of sense and I can see the practical applications of Knox. However I have attempted to install a custom recovery and then from the recovery flash a rom. I have made sure I'm using all resources designed for my device, the problem...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Does this disable the Knox bootloader? Cause the issue is Knox is stopping the entire process by preventing me from using a custom recovery Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 Yea Knox has really chapped my *** thus far. I get it if my employer says you can't screw with your phone because it's for work. But I'm an end user of my device and I have this noble notion of using it as I see fit. I'm faithful that the devs will...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 As I understood Knox it was for cubicle world and ensuring that people who use their phones for work would have an extra level of security for sensitive work information. As for Knox for the regular Joe blow, I didn't think Knox really did any...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 That's the problem I have. I've flashed twrp via Odin, after it is flashed I turn phone off and boot up in recovery mode (vol up home and power) and it refuses to go into twrp. It stays in the stock recovery. If twrp took I could flash the rom and...

Re: Installing custom recovery after OTA 4.3 So what's the course of action? Do I have to wait till someone cracks Knox before I can install a custom rom? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Alright, I have been unsatisfied with the note 2 4.3 OTA update from At&t. I spent the entire day today reading up on odin and putting custom recovery on then flashing custom roms to get what i wanted. I decided to pull the trigger after much reading. I fired up ODIN and put the latest TWRP...

Did att disable Knox? I keep hearing it eats battery and I can't find it to kill it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
