I installed it this morning. It adds an "close all" button to the active apps list and the led is working now even in silent mode.
afaik the only option to root (especially with locked bootloader) is to downgrade to 23.0.A.0.93, root your device and than upgrade while retaining your root access.

The update will remove root no matter if it OTA or through computer, click here to go to a thread with pre rooted zips for this firmware

If you flash a rooted ROM you'll be rooted. If you flash an unrooted ROM (and a stock ROM is unrooted), you'll still have to root.
Kingo is a lot easier than flashing a ROM is all you want to accomplish is rooting. Flash a ROM if it's different than the ROM you're running, and you want those differences. (If you're at NB4, use Kingo 1.5 or earlier, the latest one (1.6, IIRC) won't do NB4.)

Ok so as of today, one can root the Rogers S3, disable knox with supersu app and install a non 4.1 ROM? Would this also carrier unlock the phone?

Hi,
Did you have to unlock the boot loader for that ?
I reflashed my razr i with stock 4.1 and lost the root access, than installed KitKat OTA update.
Now I' missing the root , but would like to leave the boot loader locked.
Many thanks
Andrew
