Searched and didn't see this thread...Well at least not in Sprint section so here THOU ARE. How to Root very easily and keep KNOX at 0. If later you decide to Flash a recovery or ROM i assume you will trip KNOX.
I don't take any credit for this work. Install KING0APP from link below. Turn on developer mode "app shows you how to do that" Run app with phone connected to computer. When phone reboots you are officially rooted. You can check root with Root Checker from android store.
I successfully rooted and unrooted with his program and didn't trip KNOX. Unrooting does seem to take about 10 minutes. Dont worry its not froze.
The guy has a face book page "second link". Go like his page for more more info and help.
Mod edit: removed link

The latest version (1.1.1) of Kingoapp has been posted on their website and is ready for download. It supposedly fixes the restart issue and a few other things.
Just rooted using this, couldn't be easier. Afterward, installed Xposed framework and Wanam module ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496454 ) and now status is official. Glad I waited to root. Now, to see if (or rather when since Sprint/Samsung tends to be slow with updates) updating to kitkat breaks everything.
Had anyone who already rooted with the old version tried to redo things with the new version?

I rooted with the old version yesterday but kept having problems with SuperSU -- it was out-of-date, and if I updated it from Google Play market it would freeze while updating the binary. So I finally said Screw That, clicked on Unroot, did the Root De La Vega thing (copy files to root of internal sdcard, reboot, erase files and reboot) and that worked fine.
I tried Kingo several times and never got a clean up-to-date install of SuperSU. Everything might be fixed in Kingo now but I really don't care to run those traps again.
I rooted too, how do you install the hotspot? I tried the one from Tim's link and it didnt work.
Yea I posted the new version every where but my own topic. As stated it's on the site.

I am looking too.
If you are just rooted with stock ROM and your bootloader still locked then it is a matter of just removing some files, ie. SU, busybox, ect..
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can even odin back to LJB if you accepted the update because the LL4 Bootloader will prevent it and may brick.
if you are just stock. Open the super su app and under settings click full unroot

Awesome. Everything worked smoothly. I did have to start again though . I think it had to install drivers on my notebook. Thank you Chainfire.
Just checked got a 19 MB update after manually checking. Has anyone installed it yet?
Does it remove features, add features or security updates to prevent root?
If you don't know how to check:
1) menu button (left of the home button it doesn't light up till you touch it)
2) click "settings"
3) scroll down (run your finger toward the top of the screen) till you see system update.
4) select system update (I kind of recommend that you be on wifi or 4G before checking)
5) click update It should then check for an update and then download it and ask if you want to install.
If you are new and have not yet got used to rooting phone be aware that by installing it, that it may cause errors, loss of root, or even dogs to say meow and Cartman to be nice by installing it.

I rooted mine via Chainfires auto-root last Friday when i picked up my N3 and although it did change my Knox flag to 0x1 as reported by everyone else, I have not experienced any issues with restoring backups from TWRP.
As others said, there's nothing in Sprint's contract (that I'm aware of) pertaining specifically to root. The only time the Knox counter MIGHT matter is if you had to send it into Samsung directly for service. But then again, all of us know that rooting/modding our phones is an inherited/know risk taken by each user... or at least I hope this is true.

You've been getting modem crashes on a regular, sustained basis? Are the moments repeatable or unpredictable?

Very unpredictable when they happen.. I cannot replicate. They've all happened since flashing the NC5 engineering bootloader. Once i had 3 in a row all back to back about 5 to 10 minutes apart.
I've contemplated flashing the NC5 developers bootloader but from what you've just told me, they'd probably still occur.
Right now they occur maybe once every or every other week.
This never occurred while i was on stock NAB
