Are there any root options that might work yet?
no
I'm waiting for a S4 root too. Since most people did not pay the extra $14.99 for overnight like we did, everyone else will get the S4 Wednesday or Thursday. That means developers can't develop Root methods till Friday at the earliest (took 1-2 days for HTC One on Sprint to have root after release day).
@djrbliss stated on Twiiter that he successfully booted a custom recovery and to look for a release soon.

"VZW S4's are not seen in the wild yet, but I fully expect those to be locked as well, and incompatible with this root before a bootloader unlock."

Some have reported success on Sprint S4's, though I still advise against using it and waiting for a Sprint specific version.
And seeing that it's supposed to be the same root block used in the newer sprint OTAs..

Verizon allowed most people to get their S4's on Wednesday as a kind gesture. I wanted the phone sooner, so I paid the fee for priority overnight. It was worth it, as I got the phone on Tuesday. I love this phone!

I got it on Tuesday morning too. No overnight or 2 day shipping, just standard.
I guess I'm one of the lucky few. *shrug* not that it matters since there wasn't even root for it yesterday.

I have to buy a new DNA from Amazon after I was reimbursed through squaretrade for my old broken one. Are all the new DNAs preloaded wtih 2.06? I have a feeling I'm going to miss my old S-off DNA a lot....
No. Mostly 2.04 and prompting to update to 2.06. Rarely will you find version 1.xx

No Verizon SUCKS for locking their phones. 99.5% of people could care less about being unlocked so they just don't like .5% of us. Not sure what you comment has to do with anything do you like locked phones? Just wondering cause it sounds kinda like it. Just saying...

LOL, I agree. First off I just got my DNA Wednesday (for free) and It shipped with 2.04 and I haven't received any update notification as to this moment. Second - I have avoided Big Red for the last 6 years and things like this make me wonder if this was a "good move" for me. However I will admit that the Droid DNA is one of the best android devices if not the best they offer this phone a bad-azz no doubt about it. I like HTC and I think they would or could care less if you boot, root or pollute your phone that's why they offer the unlock codes but they have been doing a terrible job marketing their products so when the #1 cellphone provider in America say's NO, they will certainly comply.
I just got one as well in the free deal and it came with v2.04. It has been asking me to update to v2.06 though.
There is a new way to root with S-off, it is done and getting ready for release for all to do if so desired. serious, any day.

Should be able to check in the bootloader. It's right up at the top below where it tells you either S-on/S-off.
Used the promotional coupon from Verizon and got my free DNA this past Friday. It had 2.04 out of the box. About 3 minutes after I powered it on I received the notification to install 2.06 which does nothing but fix some kind of sim card problems people were having. I did not do my research before upgrading to this phone and had no idea that rooting was not an option at the moment or that may have been a deal breaker. I came from the rezound and had it rooted the enitire time I had it. Sux not having a rooted phone after having one for so long. Almost feels like right now I'm in demo mode or something. Hopefully that moonshine method comes out soon cuz I'm in root withdrawal.

Getting a CPO GS4 tomorrow from Verizon. What are the chances that its running the OLD software? Ya know, the "rootable" one? Hoping so.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
Chances are 70 30. Im on my first GS4 and I had a new one sent to me becsuse it overheated but I got one and the paint was chipped and the 3rd overheated so I never switched away from my first one..all were running MDK. Getting my CPO in a couple days because I went to a higher representative and said I had to wait for my other phones to be receive in the warehouse. Before you put your SIM in the phone, root it and install a custom rom that blocks otas.
Oh yeah. Definitely not gonna put the SIM in. And I mean its not gonna install an update unless I at least hit an "OK" at some point right?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
Yes it will. As soon as you hit wifi without a custom rom, the gs4 will autoupdate. I found out too late...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I got a new GS4 on contract with Verizon just last week (received 7/11). It had the old MDK kernel on it. I was able to deny installing the OTA update and root the next day. Used it normally as a phone in the mean time (wifi connections and all).
I guess I got lucky.

Similar experience. I got mine Monday (7/15) at best buy. As soon as it was activated it began downloading the update. I just denied installation continuously until I finished rooting it.

For some reason, I disabled USB debugging on my old one though so.... adb is impossible, can't get past my password as it's complicated w/o being able to see anything on the screen!

Isn't the bootloader for newer Galaxy phones from AT&T locked? Unless someone finds an exploit then it's impossible to root. Good luck
Count me in for $20 as well. (I hope this will work for the i9205 as well as the AT&T version).

The i9205 does not have a locked bootloader, but it does not work on US LTE bands.
Even though I don't get this device till Monday, count me in for 10$ sh*t this thang needs root.
I'll put in $30, plus I will also try to see if I can do anything to get this thing rooted and the bootloader unlocked.

Because the bootloader issue seems to be the same as the S4, this seemed like a possible solution.
I could be wrong but thought it might be worth researching.

Mine automatically came with overnight but I think it had to do with ordering through a business account.

Same here. I ordered slightly before noon on the 6th with a business account and I am still showing 10/10 with no email either. I'd expect I would be in one of the early batches.
Got mine pre-ordered this past weekend. Was able to get upgrade and keep unlimited data. Yipee! Verizon has said even though it was a software glitch, they were going to honor all upgraded that were placed and approved. Shows shipping by 10/10 but I've heard leaks that they will most likely ship earlier. I've had the Note since a week after release and it's been great. I still use it daily and it's still in great shape. If the Note 3 life is similar I will be quite happy.
Kinda wondering why Samsung felt the need to artificially inflate the benchmarks ~ http://tinyurl.com/l5jxj2m

Kingroot does NOT work with android 4.4.4 and above on the Verizon Note 3. And even if it did....anyone that would pay $400 to root a $250 (max value) phone is an idiot. You'd be far ahead of the game buying a Nexus 6 and rooting it for free.
