Rooting S4 Sprint 4.3 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Does anyone know where i can find information or process to root the Sprint S4? I am currently running android version 4.3 with baseband version L720VPUEMK2.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Cf-auto root, or Saferoot. You should search more before posting. I believe there is a sticky on this topic.

I used cf-autoroot in my MK5 GS4 without a problem.
The only issue was getting adb commands working. Took a reboot or 2 before it would adb connect

4.3 mk2 or mj9

Hey everyone. What will the baseband version be for 4.3? I see people saying its I337UCUEMK2 and I see others say its I337UCUEMJ9. Which one is it?? Its driving me nuts... I'm trying to look and see if people already have a root option for 4.3 for the gs4 and I need to know whether to search for MK2 or MJ9. If anyone could tell me which one that would be great. Thank you in advance. Much appreciated!

The I337Z is running on 4.2.2 built JDQ39.I337ZZTUUAMH1
they did not push 4.3 update on it yet
Let me know when a rom for i337z comes, and the 4.4.2 update is OTA now but I don't want to update because I might loose root

You should be able to use any 4.2.2 Touchwiz ROM through Safestrap.

It's been less than 24 hours... have a little patience.
Try it out and let us know. When I get to my computer later I will be experimenting with some methods.

Trying to Root AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 4.4.2 methods fail, why?
I am trying to root my AT&T Galaxy S4 i337UCUFNB1 android 4.4.2 kitkat. I have tried the towelroot method by Geohot and it fails because the phone reboots and I've also tried the "motochopper" method :"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604":4382 , which looked like it was going to work and then I get this error in the image provided. I don't know what I am doing wrong I followed the steps of both methods, if someone can help me figure this out I would be VERY grateful!

There are plenty of threads with information in the general section, including a thread convienently named All Things MK2 And NB1. Make sure to check that and read more before asking questions unless you're on an I337m, in which case you can disregard anything I've said ;P

You can't do what you want but there are roms you can flash. Start here

[q] root 4.4.2 ?

heelo i have SM-N900V android 4.3,
I wanted to know is there a way to do an update to 4.4.2 and make ROOT?
If so would love to help (explanation)
Not possible right now . Only 4.3 root to an 4.4.2 rooted rom.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Then you can explain to me how to do ROOT to 4.3?
Or if you have 4.4.2 ROM with ROOT
Using the search method or reading topics on the same page you posted is usually a good idea. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762999
