For anyone else reading this the answer is yes. It will trip Knox.

So we can flash a custom recovery, it will just trip knox? That's not a big deal for me.

What happens if it breaks knox? What does that do?

TMO saying bootloader is locked
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/67380

if it makes you feel better guys, samsung is claiming ALL us versions that are carrier branded will be locked.

ha ha not really no
But interesting to know.
I would have like to see the T-Mobile one still be unlocked.
Especially since they are then uncarrier and all.

I've never owned a nexus. Think it's time or a dev edition m8. But then again jump monthly payments still makes me think twice

it will not, this uses odin and flashes a custom image onto your device. with the locked bootloader it means you will be waiting until someone pushes out an exploit that works with the device.

So if it worked than that would mean the Tmo bootloader is in fact not locked as some have said it would be.

Agreed... my initial though was I might as well just take it back and get the developer version.
But I'm confident the standard one will be the more popular device

Oh, that. That though, is just a GS4 with an unlocked bootloader. It won't be a "Google Edition" and won't be getting updates with the actual GS4 GE. No point since we already have bootloader workaround.

Keep what you have got because the developer's edition probably won't have any Verizon support or warranty protection.

Has anyone tried motochopper? At first glance, I don't see why it wouldn't work. This build is stunningly similar to the At&t Galaxy S 4 and we've successfully rooted those with motochopper.

The business part is not a script, but a binary. You will need a hex editor. I tried but there are a lot of numbers in there that apparently specify the exact version the exploit will work on and it was too complicated.

Ya I tried that days ago the method just keeps giving you permission denied,I've tried every method available even the clockwork and root methods for the 19152 and motochopper,plus almost everything found on internet.I think its just the device isn't as popular than most galaxy lines.I understand the locked bootloader situation, but I know the note 3 will probably be in the same boat.I think the note 3 will be rooted before the1527,its just going to be more popular with more dev support and devs working on the note 3
Do you guys think they will stay with the 5.5 inch screen with the note 3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using xda app-developers app
The note 3 supposed to be coming with a 5.68.to 5.7 inch screen which in my eyes is a big dissapointment.I was hoping for at least 6 inch screen size or 6.3 like the mega.It would be nice if they came out with the same situation as the mega one phone at 5.8 another at 6.3 inch screen.I heard they finally ditched the 16 gb internal memory to stock 32gb internal. Ill probally still going to buy it anyways,still undecided what to do with this mega,keep it or return it,love the phone hate having no root,I got 5 days left before my 14 days are up
Im in the same boat I'll hold on to the mega till they announce the note 3 then I'll make my call. I have a little more than a week left on my return.

If you can wait, wait... if not and you want to avoid the KNOX binary trigger, use Root de la Vega. @mjcollum posted a thread about it in our Sprint Note 3 forum, here.
Personally, I could care less about KNOX security so I used CF-AutoRoot and jumped into all the fun that can be had.

knox knox...who's there...FREEEEE TETHER!!!!!! thats why i rooted!
Yea I pretty much went the keep it as stock as possible route and went the vega route just to keep my options open in the future. At this point pretty much just running a stock system with vega root. Xposed modules.wifi mod. And massively debloated. Seems ideal for me at this time. That way I can still go either way as development progresses . Return to complete stock. Or go all out with roms.

Just rooted yesterday with the vega root, and you can still have wifi tethering with stock, and no knox trip either! Im still getting anxious to start flashing lol!

That's how I feel.. This is the first phone I didn't root the second it was available. . I would rather not trip Knox not cause of warrantee but for the unknown of what effect that might have down the road. Will this self destruct in a month .. Who knows. .

You could side load it and it will work still but not on kit kat. The flash fix for dolphin is the only thing I've seen and I just found out about that. The bean works great for me so I'm in no rush for the kk update.
If you want Flash just use the FlashFox browser. It works fine for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.browser.flashfox
It won't work with the regular flash apk on kk. Anything lower, then yes.
