If you download kies, you shouldn't need to even open it. The drivers will still d/l to your PC. However, it it still isn't working you can do as mentioned and get them from Samsung or you can go to the Developers section and get them from one of the "All in One" or "Index" threads.
You can D/L the drivers from here...

Try Kies 3 and see if it works. The 4.3 update should roll out as an OTA, so KIES probably won't help much for that.

CWM + ROOT

This guide is no more. Due to the fact that seedrom193 had a guide made before this but with missing file issue, I did this one
to provide an easy way with more than one option.
seedrom193 fixed his guide now so I deleted this as I promised.
I leave the thread still existing for now. There might be some usefull info for someone to find.
Thank you.

Oh, sorry. I looked over a few of those root guides and some of them had missing links and one wasn't totaly complete I think, so I just thought
I'll do a quick guide on how to get everything in five mins.
I think it was yours who had missing files.
Get yours fixed and I'll delete this :good: No problems bro.

First file still missing, and supersu wont be seen in app-drawer unless you download it from play as well.
Every app who wants su will just hang unless you do that because you cant grant or deny access.
I made total unroot today to figure this out, and that was what I came up with. Everything else failed.
About pictures - You can upload them directly to xda. No need to use another host.

1st post added link to complete guide on how to use CWM.
Thanks for the SuperSU file for CWM.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong but when I rebooted the phone in 'download mode' it's stuck, saying "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". What do I do now? I tried running Odin3 but it just said successful but I'm not sure if anything happened.
Update: I noticed that Odin doesn't recognize my drive so I guess it's just stuck in that 'download mode' and I think I know why. I read that the IMEI needs to be recognized and while this was probably not a smart move I followed this guide to root the phone before I put in my SIM card because I have to break it loose and after that I can't use it in my old phone. Question is, what the hell do I do now? Since it says I can't reboot it and I can't use Odin it's a bit of a dilemma.
Update 2: Nevermind, I had forgotten to update USB drivers and then reboot. Question, is it possible to continue without TriangleAway? They warned about potential bricking the phone and I'm not planning on flashing any ROMs at the moment.

Make sure to go to google playstore and download SuperSU and update it, afterwards just download Triangle Away and use it. I rooted my phone 2 days ago and everything is perfect.

Yes but I don't want the risk of bricking the phone. Assuming I don't get a power outage during activation with TriangleAway there's minimal chance that something gets screwed up?

No, it's not needed then but are you sure? Did you flash firmware or recovery?
On this phone you don't get a triangle on boot, but it's seen only in download mode.

I flashed it with CWM then rooted according to the guide, I don't think I know the difference between firmware or recovery.
Anyway, I haven't booted into download mode again to see as last time I could restart the phone so what do I need to do once I'm there to reboot again to normal mode in case I only want to see if the triangle is there?

Help! No os on s4!

I was trying to install cyangenomod 10.1 on my rogers s4, it wouldnt boot just loop on boot screen, so after a while trying to make it work I accidently wiped my phone clean! Custom recovery root....GONE!
Anyway to get this up and running again?

I tried KIES will not connect (stuck at connecting...), tried on two different comps and reinstalled usb drivers as well.
I think I may have found a fix, I have the Canadian Rogers version of the s4, they call it the SGH-1337M which is pretty much like a i9505...
reason Odin wouldn't flash is I was trying to use random i9505 firmware. I found a link to a official Rogers 4.2.2 firmware hopefully this works

Root AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337(Not SGH-I337M) and Android 4.3

Trying to root SGH-I337 (not SGH-I337M). I found a few different chainfire downloads, but non of them seem to match my model perfectly. I tried "SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip" which I found on a YouTube video guide, but it had errors during update and failed. Fortunately, It did not brick my device.
On this site "autoroot dot chainfire dot eu/", I found this file "CF-Auto-Root-jfltecan-jfltevl-sghi337m.zip", but it says this is for model SGH-I337M. Which I think is a Canadian model (but not sure). I don't have a "M" on the end of my SGH-I337 model name.
Can someone please point me in the right direction...
Which file should I be using and where do I find it?
Check the stickies at the top of this forum. That's all I'm going to suggest.

It will work trust me. Mj6 was a leaked att version of 4.3 then the official was mj9 before they stopped it to fix bugs and brought out mk2. It will work follow that guide. Download the mf3 emergency files flash via odin sideload mf3-mj9 then mj9-mk2 and you'll be back. Follow the guide step by step or follow the updated one ted77usa rewrote.

I installed the Samsung Drivers and then completed this video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2283918 which had me use the motochopper tool for the Galaxy SF. It looked like it completed successfully and rebooted my phone, but the device is still NOT rooted. It didn't work and I am not bricked either (whew!!)
hovax615,
I'm sure you realize the importance of me getting correct and not bricking my device. Please advise when you say "you'll be back", what exactly will I be back too? to my knowledge I'm already in the beginning and phone firmware has never been changed, because my phone is still not bricked and not rooted. I have never loaded MJ6 (whatever that is). My apologies for being a noob, just trying to understand and do this safely without bricking or messing something up.
It's late for me now, and I will read any replies and continue this journey in a couple of days, perhaps tomorrow.
I really appreciate your help. Please advise.

I337UCUEMK2 Root? (My device is NOT bricked)
This firmware and baseband terminology gets confusing because early when I tried kies, samsung kies calls it firmware (I337UCUEMK2), but my "about" settings on the phone call it baseband (I337UCUEMK2). So I guess the word Baseband and Firmware are interchangeable?
In any case, I'm getting lots of great help here and feel I'm getting close to the finish line. It would seem that I now have two options to try:

2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 - sent by both [email protected] and ted77usa
Does anyone one have a suggestion or preference on which of these two root methods is best (or to try first)?

Safe root method worked beautifully. Thanks you both. My phone is now rooted.
My next mission is to figure out how to flash it back to factory specs (unroot), for when the day comes that I want to sell it (which is a long ways off ) and so that I can be sure I didn't put any malware on it from all the other failed attempts I made. One of those attempts involved booting to safe mode and loading a zip file from sd card. Though it failed, that attempt went pretty far. It actually wiped my phone and rebooted it. It looked like it may have applied some changes though there was some errors during the process and it did not root my phone.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or provide the link to the factory rom and process for doing it. I'm all ears

Trying restore my rooted phone not sure what im doing wrong

Trying to restore my but im having issues. I follow guide now that i unroot i cant get any wifi but 3g is working find and if i go back to my old rom i cant get any 3g or 4g but i get wifi its really weird.
Getting
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
and
set warranty bit kernel
messages when booting my phone not sure if that has to do with it but i thought it was clean stock install i did what ever guide said.
We're gonna need some more info about your phone. This forum is for AT&T and Canadian S4s. Which one do you have? (i337 is AT&T and i337M is Canadian) And with that said, which firmware were you on before you did this?

I have a bell SGH I337M. Any way what is happening is i cant get wifi to work at all now that i went back to stock and im getting what i listed above when i boot my phone yet i went back to store firmware. I have a warranty on phone but i dont think i can send it back becase it says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel which i guess shows its been rooted so my warranty with bell wont work and i can get rid of that message or get wifi to work. Also my phone is laggy i cant even operate it keeps saying not responding do you want to close.
I think i did unroot all correctly put it into download mode flashed tar file for bell i337M firmware but i still am getting this message on boot, wifi not turning on at all and like i said phone is laggy unusable.
I also googled how to get rid of the message at boot everyone said to Flash stock firmware which i did but its not gone i think this phone is 100% ****ed.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated other wise im forced to get a new phone.
Even if i could just get rid of that thing on boot i could at least repalce my phone so its looks like its not rooted.
Also rom i installed b4 was GRAVITON maybe i did something wrong with that and no wifi wont work i need to flash a kernel that will work with bell s4 but i have no idea what one to use.

Did you do MK3 or MK2 and did it match your phone? Or was your phone something else?

I am going to piggy back on this thread....
I have a ATT S4 with MF3/root/safestrap. I want to sell the phone and get back to stock. Can I just do the settings->factory reset? Do I need to use ODIN?
thanks.

First... you need to flash Bell firmware not At&T.... would be helpful to know where you actually started from... were you on 4.2 or 4.3? There is a thread here that has all the stock firmware but you need to pick the right one... if you were on 4.3 you need the MK6 firmware...as long as you can reach download mode your not hooped yet....

yay another root thread!
Didnt see an actual Chainfire CF-Autoroot post is all.
I'm rooted with the tmo version but I'll try this one too. I have a bad stutter constantly and wonder if that has anything to do with it
So has anyone try rooting using this method?
Yup

Well every time i try to and i get to the step of turning my phone off and go into odin it never shows up on the com port.
It works!
But I can't figure out how to get the wifi tether router to work...I've tried all settings with no luck!

Did you install the Samsung USB drivers?
Have you tried a different USB port on your pc?
If that doesn't work try to Uninstall amd reinstall the Samsung USB drivers.
Anyone else notice tremendous lag after rooting this phone?
Mine has significantly slowed down and lags constantly where as before it was lightning quick. Any fixes for this?
Mine does that no matter which root I used

Yep.... Is that the cause?
I rooted with the T-mo version of chainfire (before the Sprint version was available).
How do I revert/unroot to stock so I can then root via the Sprint version?

Many times where? I've only been in this forum with not one mention. That's fine I did an Odin reflash of the stock rom, so all is good again

Open SuperSu and go to settings and click on permanent unroot

Look in the "Note 4 is rooted" thread or almost every other thread that mentions lagging while rooted -- it's been clearly defined as being Xposed causing it at the moment. Root on it's OWN should never cause any lagging issues like that.

Yes, everyone needs to quit asking that. And no there will most likely never be a way to root without tripping it, so just root.
