No I don't sorry
Don't know if this is what your lookin for ?
what drivers? PC S4 (USB and other) drivers? Go and install Kies and let it connect once, it will DL the proper drivers and install them, and after that kill Kies and Kies processes on your PC and you're set for Odin...
Edit: Then if you need those specific drivers again and on the same PC (or even a different one), then repeat the steps or simply perform the backup with Driver Magician or similar and you'll have them even after the PC format...
Dang! now I already rooted my phone. So whats next for me? Should i install recovery now?
Go ahead and install a custom recovery and flash away.

Here is cwm rec (bottom 1st post)here just flash the .tar via odin
PhilZ is an advanced version of custom recovery with more customization and options. It is working great and I don't really see the need to go for a regular CWM; either PhilZ or TWRP should be the way to go - depends on what you fancy more :good:

I followed the instructions and used the files T530_NH7_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5 and T530_ROOT_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5.

I also found this recovery, but I can't copy it with ODIN. I tried the "twrp2840-190114_matissewifi" IMG, ZIP and TAR, but I always got an ODIN-error.
There is also an openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-matissewifi.img linked in this post.
Should I try this img or which one have you used?
Have you used Odin for flashing the recovery file?
Why was the head fool by towelroot if the counter has 0x1 ?

Make sure ur on KitKat base. Then flash the cwm file from Odin. Untick auto reboot from Odin. After flashing remove battery and place it again. Then go in recovery mode directly via vol+ +power +menu. Then flash the suopersu file and reboot. Then open suppersu app and disable Knox. Then again flash supper su from recovery. None other methods will work in kk for rooting.
Thanks Gung raja. . Successfully Rooted My Phone
I've searched and tried too many methods none of them worked.
I even broke my device (soft break) while I was trying to do a root using a method for SM-A800F model, and I had a really bad day.
I couldn't restore my device using stock rom it failed on writing boot.img step (using odin).
I had to extract boot.img from the stock firmware (using winrar) then creating a new boot.tar using this tool tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad to fix the problem.
I've tried too many "one click root apps" for both PC and Android (king root, Frama, mobogenie, root genius, rootx, few more) also none of them worked.
any help would be great
Thanks
SOLVED
I managed to get my phone rooted by following the instructions on this reply

I've got this response from RVR, But I'm not convinced that this solution will work, because the recovery is not for this device.
it's for Samsung Galaxy Alpha which has 5.0.2 android version, mine is 5.1.1.
I think he just opened androidfilehost forum and searched for A8 and got a file for wrong device:
androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=A8
Here's the link ..
Select in the AP tab of odin
Uncheck the auto reboot button
flash
reboot straight into recovery
Try flashing the SuperSU zip .. : download.chainfire.eu/SuperSU
Keep Stock firmware handy to flash in case the zip flash fails
