So if anyone is interested I got root on my vzw tab by flashing the same file used for 3g version just head over to the root sticky in development forum and follow the recent posts....p.s. there some issues with cwm supposedly I haven't tried to flash it because I guess it borked some guys tab so you couldn't even get into any recovery so don't flash cwm yet until its confirmed it works...but the Samsung recovery is easy to use anyways so just use that for now
The forum link is below, and the file is under root for 3g version.

I have some experience rooting(evo 4g, nexus 4). I think that i have decided to use Casual root, for the apparent simplicity, to root my att s4. My question: is there a step by step video tutorial for windows 7? I see there are some drivers to download, but im not sure where they go. I downloaded them but after that im not sure what to do. Total newb here, but willing to learn and try.

This is what I have used on my Canadian Rogers S4 i337M via Windows 7 and it worked flawlessly with lots of comments as well within the thread, give it thorough read through and most of your questions should be answered within that thread.

Which of these would be easiest? Is there also a step by step somewhere or a video like the one just posted?

casual is about the easiest possible way to root your device. just follow the simple instructions. do not install any drivers. just plug the device in and start casual. the rest will take care of itself. after the process is complete, continue on to backing up before proceeding. check out this guide. cheers

Ok i read on adams casual that you have to download something so that you can go into download mode. Im assuming they are drivers, but after downloading them I have not a clue what to do.
hey everyone I just went into att and got my new s4 today, well im on the MDL baseband it looks like and I've tried the motochopper root method but its still not rooted, im not sure what I need to do to get it rooted? does anyone have any input or ideas to help me out here? all I've seen are root methods for MF3 and im not sure if I need to update to that version? im not seeing it as an update on my phone either
Use casual root method works like a charm. Be sure to unlock dev option first to allow debugging all instruction are included in thread look for CASUAL ROOT

Hey all! I recently bought a Galaxy S5 through verizon. I was looking forward to getting root access and Applying custom ROMS and customizing my phone even more. Could you guys direct me to an easy-to-follow guide to help me achieve this? I've heard it isn't possible with the Verizon S5. If it isn't, could you suggest some apps to help me further customize my device without root? Thanks in advance everyone!!

We can root and install safestrap, load custom roms from our dev section, but we can not use custom recoveries like TWRP, Clockwork Mod, or flash any aosp roms because of a locked bootloader, (unless you have a developers edition S5 from Samsung.)

Thank you!!
I hate to be a pain in the ass noob, I really, truly do. But I've only ever rooted once, and it was a whole lot simpler than this. Could I possibly get 1 on 1 help from someone?
I rooted, unlocked, and loaded a ROM on my last Note 3 (Verizon) and need to do it again. I have just one problem. I am old and have sometimers disease and I forgot how I did. LOL. Would someone mind telling me the best ROM and a step by step on how to root, unlock, and install ROM. I would be forever greatful.
