Here is the link for rooting with MF3

OP, please read up before you proceed. If you don't know what you're doing, I would highly advise against rooting at the moment.

Should be posted in q&a. Next time do little searching before posting

[Q] Stock TouchWiz?

Does anyone know where I can find the stock KitKat TouchWiz ROM for the SGH-I747 (Galaxy S4 on AT&T)? I am looking to root but want to keep my current ROM. As of now I like TouchWiz on KitKat and the battery life is good so it doesn't matter. Or is there a way I can root without flashing a new ROM?

Well, the i747 is the Galaxy S3. If you are looking for a kitkat rom for that, you should probably check the galaxy s3 forums.
If you meant the i337, which is the galaxy s4 for ATT, then there is still no root. You would need to flash a ROM. Sounds like this is the one you are looking for... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825

I used towelroot to root my s5 G900R7. My Knox is at 0x0

I'm just stock and rooted. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a specific recovery to use. I don't want to brick. Do you know what I should use?

@Tiraniss Im new to Cspire and I don't see much development for our phones hopefully some nice developer will take interest in our devices soon.

I sure hope so. I was able to flash cm on my s4 but the screen got smashed.

Anybody had any luck with this? I've recently switched back to c spire...

A galaxy S4 and a Macbook, those things shouldn't be in the same sentence.
However, I found this video on google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5SluqWPus8&list=PLdq__cOJ2egyX7yodrOhlI1Tf2tHG_oVH
Hope this will help you root your awesome GS4.

Or else you could download an app called Towelroot and root the phone from the phone itself.

That guide is outdated and will not work.
Just use Heimdall to flash cf auto root. I rooted it that way using my mac.

Lollipop update/ rom

Can anyone please tell me the best ROM to use to get as close to the Lollipop UI and features. I am using the Galaxy S4 I337 AT&T with safestrap. Most ROMS that I have tried will not work or wont boot up. Is there any Lollipop ROM's for the 9505 that will work, cause I know that some roms will work for the I337. Thanks averyone!

No lollipop will work until it's released officially for the ATT S4. Then safestrap will needed updated to work. Then you'll have a custom ROM with lollipop.

What about a port from the 9505? I know I cannot get the official Lollipop, but something that looks similar.

No. There doesn't exist a lollipop tw kernel that will work with your bootloader.

There are GPE lollipop ROMs for the s4 (I'm using both) but they won't work on safestrap.

So far the closest thing I can find to Lollipop is Goldfinger 9.0. It is a pretty nice ROM and WiFi works as well!
