Did you try Kingo Root? I just got an S4 zoom last week and I rooted it fine with Kingo Root. I just had to let it run for a few minutes and allow it to restart quite a few times until it asked me to accept to root. I used Kingo Root on an S4 I previously owned and it also worked fine. I even un-rooted a few times and re-rooted and it worked fine on the S4 normal =).
i dont trust this root method.
some say its a virus.

Some old news about it did say it was a virus or that it contained some Chinese spy software (vRoot or something) but I believe they removed it or never had it, I forget which one. I just know that I never had a problem with it so far.
Think i used safe root & disable knox

I see thanks I have the AT&T SM-C105A and am trying to find a way to root
I'd be careful with the C105A AT&T version. Nobody outside of AT&T has the firmware and you cannot flash any other C105A firmware to it. On top of that is the stupid AT&T check that essentially soft bricks the phone if the check fails.

just use kingoroot and everything will be done. There is no virus in the software. they do not store your info. They just root your phone and away you go. get it from http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm

actually you can flash the mexico Telcel firmware found at Sammobile as the mexico version is still the same model and still uses AT&T LTE service
Do some more research you will find it
Edit:
Here is the Link:
C105AUBUAND1 Sammobile link Here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28254 Know that Sammobile is having problems with their servers so download will be slow.
My guess would be that only the ASPN's may be different. So right dow your ASPN's from your existing firmware then if different change them back after flash.
That is the same firmware I tried to undo the soft brick (ATT unauthorized software lock), it would not flash.
Today I got my Galaxy Alpha G850F with Build NHB from Vodafone Germany. I tried towelroot and framaroot, but no success.

is your bootloader locked?
i want to buy China Mobile version(G8508S) here in Shanghai and i am afraid the bootloader will be locked and this method above won't work.
mine is g850f, don't really know if I have locked or unlocked bootloader.
For information obviously it tripped the knox warranty void, but I don't care

Cool that's it's rooted already, but there's not a lot of support for the phone, no ROMs, etc.

Ditto for me... on the fence with this one. It has the perfect weight and size, I just don't want it to be an oddball version of a phone that no devs wind up supporting. I've been waiting and waiting for the Nexus 6/X but either way based on the two rumors it seems like it is going up in size which is the opposite direction I'm willing to go.
Guys wait a little, the phone was just released!

I'm interested in this device (to replace a Galaxy Note 3 Neo), however I need it fully HMP-enabled. Is it so? For app support, you can try 3C CPU Manager or 3C Toolbox, it should support your CPU 8 cores already, and show if it's HMP enabled.

We are trying to tell you that if you try and execute this root method you will likely brick your device.
Don't ask for help and then argue with the people providing it.

Well first off 955u refers to a LOT of devices.
Maybe it one of them is safe. but by all means flash it and go for it.

Damn it slimberg. You are clouding the issue with logic.
Doesn't really matter if the model number is supported, the software version also needs to be supported, which it isn't.
Regardless, don't you think that if a viable root method for this phone was available, that it would already be posted on this forum and that ROMs, Kernels and the like would now be available?
Just a thought

Ok I took the chance in flashing my SM-N950U to the U1 firmware using Prince Odin and it worked. Be sure that both firmwares are bootloader v3 or you WILL BRICK also as a safe precaution i deleted my google accounts and any that controls the FRP so that it would be off.

Which U1 firmware did you flash? And what firmware were you previously on?
So does that mean this whole "you can't cross flash between U and U1" thing has been debunked? It was just an issue with people trying to flash a lower level bootloader?

U is for the US carrier branded phones (950U) and has the carrier bloat added on top of what is downloaded during setup. The U1 (950U1) is for the US unlocked unbranded phones sold at Best Buy and others. That has no carrier bloat added and what is automatically downloaded depending on what sim you have can be uninstalled instead of disabled. The downside to U1 is you will be missing some carrier specific enhancements like VVM for Verizon and other features. But with that said there are some apps and features that are not hidden on the U1. I have a U1 and prefer the cleaner software it has.

in your pics, it shows the phone seeing both sim slots, so that functionality should be fine. Flash this in Odin and it will no longer be rooted, but knox will be tripped forever on that phone. no way to un-do that part.

custom f firmware? the stuff you get from sammobile is OEM stock firmware
there isnt a bespoke dual sim firmware available. From what can gather, the firmware detects what hardware you have and will show dual sim if it is so equipped. Ive seen the d/s version discussed several times on here and thats always been the outcome.

i wouldnt trust the IMEI info page unless it somehow remotes into your phone via an app of some sort to physically check the hardware. CPU-Z pulls from the SOC, mobo etc itself. You can prove this by getting an older version of the app from one of many apk repositories (apkmirror, for example), once downloaded turn on airplane mode so that the apk doesnt know what device its being installed on, install it, run it and see what it says. It could have some info baked into the app for it to cheat, but id be for more likely to believe the imei info is cheating than cpu-z

i hear ya. i would flash the F firmware since that is what CPU-Z says it has. Im betting that the info from IMEI details is what was supposedly shipped on the device. Your software version says its a Exynos chip, CPU-Z says it is too. Id not trust anything thats telling you what processor is in your phone that isnt interfacing with it directly such as firmware and CPU-Z.
