Hi mate.
I'm new to all this myself.
First you need to root your device:

Then you are ready to flash a new rom. I used the task650&phantom rom and I'm going to use the pershoot kernel when I find out how to do it.
Here's the rom:

My advice is to just take your time, do a bit of research and follow the steps carefully. Oh and back up.
Off the top of my head you will need the following apps: RomManager, titanium back up and titanium back up pro.

A quick way to see if its rooted (doesn't always confirm if you've moved files and/or apps around) is to look at your apps list for "Superuser".
If its there and you didn't put it there, you're probably rooted.

Thanks Paul!
I followed the instructions, but it went to FastBoot instead of Recovery.. how do i fix that ?

No probs. I'm sorry I haven't got a clue how to help you with that,
I'm sure someone on here will though.

Anyone has any idea how? Im stuck on the Fastboot , couldnt get on CWM after flashing via odin.

Not to sound like a total jerk... But i recommend that you read and read ana read and watch many vidoes before you start flashing/rooting/modding/hacking/whatevering...you will thank me for this later when you DONT screw up your device... There are a few guides within this forum that are decent... Still not noob friendly like they should be but after some good reading i think you can get the hang of it...

The root methods you have listed are intended for older versions. The only functioning NC1 root method is towelroot. Please check the all things NC1 thread prior to posting. All info can be found there. The person above has given the link to towelroot. If you go to the galaxy s5 forums, you can get a tutorial on it, but it's pretty straightforward. Enjoy your rooted device.

Remember that the phone has a locked boot loader. So, the stock kernel and recovery cannot be replaced. The only working recovery is safestrap. There is also restrictions on the Roms that can be flashed.

Need Help Rooting Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9506)

Hi, I recently bought a second-hand Samsung Galaxy S4 (Screen is cracked the bottom + back camera also cracked.. it was only $10).
I want know what the best way to root this phone is. The most common tutorials I have seen are for GT-I9505 but the one I have is GT-I9506, not sure if it makes a massive difference but better safe than sorry. I am looking to root this phone and flash stock android on it, then get Xposed Framework. I'd appreciate any suggestions! Really dislike TouchWiz.

You could try this.
But you don't actually have to root it. You can flash a custom recovery and then flash a custom rom which is already rooted.
You only have to root it if you have to backup apps.

Well you should now...do not try to root it with programs like king root or so....just use odin...is the best option

Yes it is possible...you have to flash cwm recovery and google "root.zip" ..wach some videos and you will see...it's eazy
