Hello guys!
I've got samsung galaxy s4 i337 unlocked ((mf3))
When I bought it they told me that I cant root it or I will lose it
Can you help me?
Did you search at all for an answer? Try that and I'm sure you'll find it.
Ok, here's a hint, Google "root method mf3 xda"

If you cant find out how to root a the device than you probably shooting be attempting to root it at all. If that's what you mean by did it work for you.
Not to be mean but a huge clue/hint was given to you. Go back and look in the Q&A section. There is a sticky that can help.

Hey guys.
I think I know how to this, but not sure. What things are required? I am using safestrap but reading ax's guide, it says I need Loki. Also do I need a converter zip,? Thanks

Your sig says you have an i9505. Your info says you are on Sprint. And...you are asking about a Verizon ROM in the AT&T forum. Wow.
Might need to clarify a few things before you can get some help.
Oh wow haha lol. Funny story here. I recently switched from sprint (about a month ago). Never bothered to change that to att I guess lol. Second, I'm running goldeneye 8.0 so I guess that's a build prop thing by Tapatalk

you need to flash the mf3 module zip after the rom and I think you may need to change apn settings

Can you share what you did to get it to work? I'm using the T-Mobile SGH-M919 S4 thanks in advance.

You just need to fish the T-Mobile compatibility module right after flashing the rom.

Flash the rom

I was pretty big into XDA under my Original Note
I now have AT&T S4 and would like to root it.
Is there a way to root the S4 without a PC?
I would like to use TWRP I have goo installed but it wont root my device from Goo so was just curious.
I did browse the forums really didn't find this so I am posting it
Many thanks
What firmware are you on?

You need a PC to format the card, the rest you can do from Terminal Emulator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577
If you browsed the forums you would know that you cant install a custom recovery on an S4 running MF3 firmware. Meaning no TWRP or CWR. But you can root with the above method.
I did look so your saying no matter what cdm and twrp cannot be on s4. Thats fkd if so

Do yourself a favor and look harder. There is a lot of information available about this and you WILL brick your phone if you don't take the time to read and learn about it. Good luck.
Look man I looked I will look again. But I have only bricked my phone once back when first Google phone came out not a noob. Just didn't want to spend hours looking if it took someone 30 sec to respond. Admin please close my thread due to lack of assistance will look elsewhere thanks

I recently received the ota 4.3 update for my at&t gs4, but I've been dying to try cyanogen mod on my phone or at least be able to remove a little bloatware. Could anyone point me to a tutorial somewhere to root this thing if it's possible yet? I do have a little experience with flashing roms and rooting with my old samsung replenish, but only with odin... thanks.
-EDIT Also is kingo really malware like many people on xda say? And does kingo work with the new MJ9 build for AT&T's S4?
If you have a little experience flashing Roms than you'll be experienced in the art of Google search. There are many threads about this already

Works the same for att even though its for verizon. Same root method but beware it could add malicious stuff to your phone and computer. Do a little researching first before you do anything. Good luck

And even when your rooted there is still no custom recovery for 4.3...so no rom flashes are possible

T-Mobile is the only one that doesn't, Verizon and sprint do as well. Goodluck with everything.

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I've been looking stuff up about vroot and apparently it contains some sort of trojan... I also read a comment on YouTube where someone with the at&t MJ9 build had success with it but what are the risks other than bricking?
I see the New SAFEROOT method out on another thread and read through some comments. I am new to rooting and was wondering if simply rooting my s4 device will delete any data. I just need to root my i337 on the latest band to tether. Thanks in advanced.
Will not delete any data. SafeRoot is by far the simplest root method for the s4 right now.

Search is a very useful tool here in xda....and the question you ask also frequently asked, and answered too many times to mention.
One of the popular methods HERE.
A search may yield more options as will google
