It should point you in the right direction
Also, don't take any OTA updates.

Im new to this whole rooting deal. Ive been looking on you tube videos on how but the links they put never work. Is there a step by step instructions on how to root my s4.
Yes, there are root guides. Yes, they are in this forum. No, this is not Q&A.

Could you provide more information... can you go into your About Phone and post what it says.
Baseband... MDL, MF3, MK2?
If your on MDL / MF3 your want to start at this thread...

If your on MK2 your want to start at the link @HORiZUN posted above in his post.
@NighthawkXL, that root method works for all current firmware versions of the S4.

I did the same thing. SafeRoot is basically a one click root, no terminal commands, no exfat. So much easier.

Hi, I've had my G2 for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. The only thing is that I've gotten so sick of the loads of bloatware and useless junk that I've decided to root it. I've rooted 3 or 4 phones before and the methods for the G2 seem just about as easy as it gets. I found 2 guides, one for actually rooting and one for installing TWRP recovery. I was just wondering if it matters what order I do this in, and also whether or not these guides are all I need to get my phone all ready to flash roms and all that other fun stuff. I've included the links to the videos below. Thanks in advance

Yes I know about this thread. But in regards to installing TWRP, should I do this before or after rooting the phone?

After you root, follow the link to ioroot19, you should be able to simple use freegee to install twrp.

I don't feel like the minor update (which my phone didn't come with) is worth uninstalling TWRP and unrooting, so I'm just going to keep this for future reference. Right now I am on the stock ROM, but I'm rooted, have a few bloatware apps uninstalled, and have TWRP recovery installed.
If I wanted to go back 100% to unrooted, unmodified stock as easily as possible, what would I have to do?

Hi i was just wondering if there has been a root method for the 4.4.2 OTA update. I updated a few weeks back and have been dying for root access.
The baseband version is N900VVRUCNC4.
Thanks in advance!

Like I said. Oughta sticky one of these so there aren't 8 million threads asking the same question.

Think there's any possibility we'll get it? I would hate to have to sell this device and move on
Im sure there will be in time?
Would we be able to downgrade thru Odin and then root and then flash rooted version of 4.4.2?

Doubt it...most of the devs that might be capable moved on from Verizon and really do not care. The reason being soon as a exploit is found and released it then is patched by the next update. It's a cat and mouse game not worth playing. There are methods out there that allow you have rooted 4.4.2, The sticky at the top of this section explains it all. "Never Accept OTA Updates".

No The Verizon N3 is model N900V and this article deals with the UK model N900
Also, in the UK the status of the Knox warranty counter doesn't matter. In the US it does.

Thanks for the link. Question, looks like my phone downloaded the update and it says ready to install. What happens if I say "install"?
