I apologize if this has been addressed already but i have not been able to find an answer. Is there a way to successfully root a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 on 4.4.2 which was updated OTA on a Mac? Thank you.
Cf auto root.

What about the 4.4.2 update and the SD Card issue. I'm having major issues with that right now.

You can use either cf auto root and root the same way as you did with mdl or you can use crawj's mf9 stock rooted tar and odin that to get rooted.

OK thanks alot for the speedy reply. Didn't know if the cfauto root would work with the mf9 build. I did searh, but couldn't find anything. I did see the options u mentioned though.
I am reading a lot of folks who are having issues with the Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T MF3 build and I don't want to become one! Can some users that has been using "known good" methods for a bit confirm what root method and recovery you are using, please?
Thank you, Moniker

Search for the exFAT card reader method its very easy for root.some people are also using kango root exploit as well
Search Safestrap for its making flashing ROMs safe and easy for most.
That's the only options available for our ATT I337 S4

Is there a compatible official firmware (odin flashable) that I can revert to, not finding any for the MF3.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
you can root on mf3. there are guides in general i think. you can not unlock your bootloader though, only the pre mf3 gs4s can.
It is kingo root. It is easier than the exFAT method.
There is no Odin for MF3. Look for Safestrap.

Yeah kingo is more noob friendly, run program > hit root (pushes supersu) > enjoy :3
Hope I was no imposition.

So I can't return to stock and reset the flash counter if I needed to!?! I am only familiar with flashing Samsung devices with the official firmware via Odin and using triangle away to achieve that...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Its downloaded OS upgrade to 4.3, currently on 4.2
I haven't installed it yet as it states you cannot downgrade after this update.
I will probably be interested in custom roms and rooting, if I update to this will i not be able to root etc?
Sorry if this is a noob question
You always update via OTA or download ROM and flash?
Which model do you have?

Tell me the firmware your currently on. If pre KNOX your good.

I'm new here, so please excuse my forum etiquette. I have the sprint samsung gs4, rooted with Odin on 4.4.2, no change in kernel or rom (that I know of).
When I go to messaging> menu> settings>, there is NO delivery reports option. Anyone that can explain this to me, or assist me with turning on delivery reports, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have researched this already and I have found NO similar case to myself. Every other guide I find shows the delivery report option available.

I don't have it on stock unrooted NAE so it doesn't seem to be a missing feature.

So are you saying that it's not showing for you as well?

did the thanks screen pop up when you rooted and is the updating the binary in supersu work?
He fixed it. SS 3.72 won't work for you until you install busybox. Flash away peeps.
from my locked note 3!
I installed SuperSU but I can't seem to update the binaries :'(
Why this method???
I'm not understanding. Why do we need this if we are already rooted? Im running DK with SS 3.72 with total control of my phone (besides bootloader) am I missing something?

It's root that supports all the latest OTAs for Samsung's phones, and possibly many others.
I also have the 72276. I also recall someone mention to disable Knox. I thought that you could only do that if you were rooted. How do you disable it? Thanks

I'm guessing that SuperSU will need to be updated to work with this method?
What is this 72276? I don't know what this means. I have the note 3 rooted.

Find the latest supersu .zip and install the apk in it I'd wager it is rooted you just don't have su installed
