i am super close to trying this kingo root method. will it work on a galaxy s4 from verizon? i am on the mj7 update.
did you guys load custom roms afterwords or just delete bloat ware? i just want to delete bloat and get back my hotspot ability since i have unlimited data.
is there a program to gain the hotspot ability back with a 3rd party hotspot app?

Yes you can use foxfi. I'm nearly certain you can root with kingo on the s4. Might want to check out their forums though. They say that you'll want to update the superuser apk/zip after rooting because that's where the potential is for them to snoop on you. I loaded a custom rom and that avoided any hassle

For those of you who are on XDA, here are the ROM and Safe Strap threads. These are the instructions I used and it was the EASIEST method I've ever used to root a phone... This should work with MI9, but using Kingo is the ONLY way (at the moment) to root MJ7. My Note 3 is SM-N900V (Verizon)... verified Knox 0x0
*** this is NOT my original work...(credit to DutchDogg54 and others)... IF any of this is YOUR work please let me know so I can give credit where it is due. Again, this is NOT my original work***
Once you are MJ7, start here:
4) I used the Kingo root app - links to Kingo are not currently allowed on XDA but it's very easy to search and find. It's just like a "one click" toolkit - meaning it's a no-brain operation. Download the app and follow the instructions. Currently Kingo & vroot are the only known methods to root the MJ7 build for the Verizon Note 3 so it's one of these or no root for you. IF ROOT FAILS THE FIRST TIME, KEEP TRYING (it took me 3 attempts)
5) Once that's done head over here: [RECOVERY LOCKED/MI9,MJ7] Safestrap Recovery v3.65 [2013-11-13 STABLE] & download the latest version of the APK then install it. Open the Safestrap app in your app drawer and install the recovery by clicking "install" within the app.
6) Next it's advisable to get a trusted & open source Super User app on your device after using the closed source Kingo root method (optional, but highly recommended). Download the latest SuperSU zip - Google search latest version. .
7) Reboot the phone and you'll come to the SafeStrap splash screen - choose "recovery." Once here, go to your stock rom slot by clicking "Boot Options" and ensuring it says "stock slot" in red at the top of the screen. If it says anything other than stock, tap the stock slot button and click "activate" on the following page. Hit back to return to the recoveries main menu. Once confirmed you're on your stock slot, tap install and flash the SuperSU zip (no wipes necessary). Once that's done, tap reboot system.
You're now completely done updating to MJ7, Rooting your device, adding a stable Recovery & installing a trusted Superuser application. Now, enjoy To install ROMs, you do that using SafeStrap [SS]
1. Reboot phone
2. Click Recovery Button when SS splash screen pops up
3. Click one of the rom slots [1-4] then click the Create ROM button [I left default values to test out the ROM. People say that its fine for most, but adjust date portion of partition if you use lots of apps]
4. Once the ROM slot has been created, browse back into the previously created slot.
5. Click Activate
6. Then click Install
7. Browse to whatever ROM .zip you download
8. Done
As far as how to change your primary Stock ROM I wrote this response earlier:
I made Beans my primary ROM.
1. Backed up Stock Slot
2. Restored back up to open ROM slot
3. Booted from restored slot to ensure functionality
4. Backed up Beans ROM
5. Restored Beans backup to Stock slot
6. Deleted un-used ROM slots [Stock and Beans in ROM slot 1-4]
7. Booted into Beans on Stock slot
8. Re-installed SS
9. Enjoy.

Thank you for the info. I have been wanting to root, but my note has a nfc alarm/notification that keeps going off and I may have to take it back to vz for warranty and im afraid to root and take a chance on tripping Knox. I just tried another method to get the nfc alarm to stop. It is intermittent, but will know before too long and then I can root.

People imply issues with kingo. Are these security issues or what?

As far as I have heard it is security. As soon as you root, you want to install superuser over what Kingo installs as Kingo transmits your IME code abd a kot of other information to China.

It can transmit it doesn't mean it does transmit it. Yeah if you update the superuser apk afterword you'll be fine

Oh, then they can clone your phone whenever they like. I'll wait and hope someone comes up with a safer root method.
