I have a question on bootloaders. I have a Samsung galaxy s4 and wanted to root and put a custom ROM on it. But I heard you have to unlock the bootloader first. The question is I can't find the thread and second is can it be relocked if I have to send it in for warranty. Thanks for any help.

Goto the development forum and read the "Stock Firmware Odin" thread.
Then, go to each of the AT&T S4 subforums and read the pinned (stickied) threads in each of them. Pay close attention to the information about T-Mobile ROMS. There should be links in there about threads that will help you understand flashing T-Mobile ROMs onto the I337.
Make sure to use the forum's "search" function for any specific topics you want to know about, but can't find through reading alone.
Good luck.
And give Kenny a break and post in the correct forum. Should be in q&a.

Hey guys.. So I have never really successfully rooted a phone yet but I really need to root this Sprint Galaxy S4. I know there was an OTA update a few days ago so I am concerned that the instructions I am looking at might brick my phone. Is there anyone that could please link me to a thread that will help me successfully root this S4.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for helping me guys!! I just went ahead and Chainfire's rooting method. It was actually easier than I thought it would be. Now I have one last question for you. The whole reason I rooted my device was because I want to use my "Unlimited Data' that I get through Sprint to tether to my laptop. Which app do you guys suggest to do this?
Thanks again!! You guys/gals are awesome!!
Check in dev section. Crawjs hotspot hack. The old versions 3.0 of PDA net work great for USB tether

That is hacked hot spot mod. Also most all custom ROMS have it built in.

Hi, I just got an AT&T S4.
It's currently on Android version 4.3
Can I use this tool to root/unlock it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
My baseband version is I337UCUEMK2
Once I unlock/root it, can I flash any ROM in this forum?
Thanks

You need to read the threads that are in the General and q & a sections. Start with the pinned threads. The questions you asked show that you have not done any reading and all members are expected to search and read. You will be glad if you do, because if you don't you will more than likely end up with a brick. There are several threads that already have the answers you asked. Good luck.
I read the stickied Q&A, which linked to the thread I posted above. It seems that the tool should be able to root and unlock my MK2 phone. I just wanted to confirm to double check.

It doesn't. Read all section stickies, there is a big guide in the general section telling you what works.

Hint--SafeStrap
You are going to have limitations on that build bc of the locked down bootloader by Samsung
so im not sure if people will tolerate this thread, if its against the rules feel free to report it/ban me /whatever.
i basically have a galaxy s4, sgh-i337, it has safestrap installed and im looking to install a custom rom.
anyway before i go through with it i have a few questions, i read a lot of the safestrap thread, and the mf3 threads, its just overwhelming, a lot of info in that thread and its very unclear/hard to locate anything im actually looking for, im hoping i can get a kind person thats willing to take 10 minutes of their time to answer a few question.
if you're gonna post to link me to a Q&A on safestrap and stuff like that please dont. ive read it. anyway, if you can/want to help just send me a pm on the board here. i could use a bit of advice.
if the thread isnt allowed feel free to ban me or whatever i guess.
1) Questions should be in the Q/A section.
2) I'd help but there's no questions in your post. You can PM or ask here.
