[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 4.4.2 KitKat Root - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
So I have been trying to root my newly updated Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337 AT&T) for a couple of days now and still no success.
I've tried MotoChopper, a series of different CF-AutoRoot files and neither have given any luck. Odin stops right after SuperUser.apk is pushed over and gives the "Threads failed: 1 Success: 0" message.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in Advance.

THERE IS A THREAD FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and are you running stock or custom and look it up on the galaxy s4 troubleshooting page before you post here
Search it up i dont want to help in this thread but i will help you or someone else will when its in the right thread

I have the same problem, I am attaching here my cell data.
please help me.

Same problem
I have a galaxy s4 att 4.4 and have been wondering the same thing. Seems like no one has found and way to root the phone yet. As for the guy who flipped out in the post above. Give it a break man. This website is made so a bunch of developers can come together and help each other out and fix problems. There should be no putting down just because it was put on the wrong thread or whatever. It's the people like you that ruin the fun in hacking for all of us. If there's already a thread then just tell the owner of this one or any one nicely and point them in the right direction with a Link or something. No need to be mean.

It looks like the link that you may want to look at, that Mr. Turtle so Douchingly didn't want to give, is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the Link but I can't find a thread that specifically talked about rooting the galaxy s4 4.2.2. I wish they would find a way soon

Where is the link?

How about a link to the exact thread then, bud? Prove that there is one. If you dont, there is no thread.

Can anyone direct me to the right place? the link above doesn't seem to show me where to go.

Was this done on a phone with a Canadian wireless service? I don't know how similar the phones are between the US and Canada (pardon my naivete), but if so, how risky is this root method for a US phone?
Thanks.

I just registered to say I am in the same situation. I just got a Galaxy S4 i337 with 4.4.2 from AT&T and I am already desperate to get it rooted. My 64GB Micro SD card is going to be almost useless until I do thanks to Google royally screwing over my ability to use external storage, and I'm already almost out of internal storage. I am hesitant to try something for i337M if it's untested with i337, and I'm not about to risk bricking my brand new phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't need any of the info., but I'm searching for a friend who is not tech. inclined. Still think you deserve a "Thanks" for that because Turtleman was not helping at all. After all, that's what these site for. One hand washes the other.

[Q] I need help unrooting Verizon S4-sorry to have to ask..

First of all let me say I'm sorry to even have to post this. I've looked and I'm sure this question has been posted a million times. But a lot of it just looks like Greek to me.
I recently bought a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and found later that evening that it was rooted.
It's running Hyperdrive and the latest version. Also has a TeamWin screen.
I'd really like to unroot it and return it back to bone stock. But I haven't had any luck finding the firmware or instructions on how to do so that a new guy could totally understand.
If someone could give me a step by step and where I can find the stock firmware, I'd be forever grateful.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you all have a great day!

I haven't used it myself but you should keep apps and data and be stock unrooted. If you have any issues or questions you can ask me or the OP of that thread.

A No-Wipe will still leave remains behind of software. If you want stock follow what I sent you.

I figured it would have removed the root access and the TWRP recovery and leave it in a mostly stock state.

Yeah... That's the main reason why I downgraded back to nc5. There aren't any roms based on nk1. Nc5 is a lot easier to do all the fun stuff on

You should downgrade back to nc5 and re-root with towelroot. There is a no wipe solution. Just flash it through Odin. Then install safestrap if you want to get flash happy with the TW roms in the development section

Please help me!

Guys please help. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 sch-i545 (verizon) and I recently rooted with Kingroot. I am on version 5.0.1 and was wondering if you guys could walk me through installing a rom. The rom I am trying to download is the Synergy rom because it's a deodex rom and goes for my phone. The only this is idk how all I've done so far is install superuser and that's it can someone please walk me thru it would he greatly appreciated.
I'm curious.
What makes this subforum appropriate for this question?
Why wouldn't you visit the s4 forums?
Why would you ask about installing some other ROM in the Paranoid Android forum?

I don't know anything about the Verizon s4, but the post has been moved to the appropriate forum and all you need to do is read the stickies and info that's already been written. There is zero reason for someone to have to rewrite everything you need to know when it's already been done.

Does anyone can post how to unlock Samsung Luna? thanks for any updates or reply...
Do you have the rooted firmware link? I have the combination file for this I'll trade for the rooted firmware. I am also looking for a way to unlock this model. Since I have the combination file and you have the rooted firmware, it should be possible to flash on the pda part and unlocking shouldn't be too far off if someone has the base knowledge of how the unlock works.
