So I was totally stock on KitKat until yesterday.
I asked a question in the q&a section if the original jellybean root worked on KitKat and nobody seems to know. So I went ahead and rooted anyway. It seems to have worked except:
What works:
1) it boots into clockworkmod recovery
2) in ES file explorer, i was able to flip the switch for root file permission
3) in ES file explorer, after flipping the root permission switch, I was able to edit the build.prop by adding the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line
4) when I boot into odin/download, it shows the tripped Knox counter and modified status, so I know my root did _something_
What doesn't work:
1) when I try to enable tethering after adding that line to the build.prop, it performs the tethering eligibility check anyway, and won't let me toggle the switch, even with a T-Mobile sim that has a tethering plan on it (its unlocked and works with any sim)
2) SuperSU won't open, and when I use cwm to flash the latest (2.14?) It flashes successfully, then when I reboot and try to open SuperSU it does the same thing and won't open
3) when I try to flash cm12.1, it aborts
4) when I try to flash cm10.1 , it aborts
For 3 and 4 maybe I need a newer version of cwm recovery?
Sooo... ??? Is going on?
