You should be able to root it yourself. Flash a custom recovery in Odin and use the recovery to install Superuser. Your phone will be stock and rooted. This will give you the ability ot use XPosed modules to customize it in just abotu any way you can think up. All without having to wait for devs to do anything.

Hey Guys,
I'm quite new on the forums, so forgive me if I ask questions that have already been answered a lot. Yes, I've read loads about 'how to root the Samsung Galaxy S4', but I just want your guys confirmation about my ideas.
1. I know for a long time now that you can use the CF-auto root to root your S4. But I'm wondering if it still works after such an amount of updates. Currently my phone's build number is I9505XXUGNG8
2. After my phone is rooted, I would like to have CWM as my costum recovery. I know that a really easy way is to install the ROM manager app from the playstore and from there, flash the CWM recovery. Again I was wondering if it still works that easily for the S4
3. After my phone is rooted and has CWM, I think I don't receive any OTA updates anymore right? (even when I just stay on the official TouchWizz rom)
If I don't get these updates anymore then what is a good way to get the newest Android TouchWizz versions? Can I just use the official TouchWizz roms from Sammobile that will come out in the future?
Already thanks to everybody who comments on this thread!
I hope that I can teach other people also something new.
Anyone?

1. Yes
2. I'm not sure. I always flash first non stock recovery with Odin.
3. Yes, You don't get official updates anymore. If You use latest rom from Sammobile You will loose root. Instead You can use prerooted stock roms easy to find on S4 forum. Or alternatively use any of custom TW based roms. Imo Omega rom is closest to stock.

If all you want to do it install a custom recovery and root the stock rom, you might consider just flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery in ODIN. Then using ClockworkMod to root the phone directly from recovery. It's 1 less ODIN step and it gets you to the same place.

Thanks for your reply! That is exactly what I want to do.
Just to be sure, should I do it this way?
1. Download CWM_6.0.4.7_Non-Touch_GT-I9505.tar
2. Flash the CWM_6.0.4.7_Non-Touch_GT-I9505.tar file with Odin v3.07
3. Download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
4. Boot into CWM recovery and flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip from the external SD-card (Because I would place it on the external SD-card)
Then I should be rooted right?

Yes.
And you can replace the version of CWM you mentioned with any other recovery that makes you happy, as long as it's a .tar install file for ODIN.
Why the non touch version?

Thanks A LOT!!!
I prefer the non touch version, because I'm then just a little bit more confident that I don't misclick because of touch (although that probably won't happen) and I think that the volume keys are therfore just a little bit more accurate to navigate with,
Also, if I have CWM installed and rooted my phone, can I then just install ROM manager to keep my CWM recovery up to date or do I have to flash a new one to get an updated version?
Hello,
We can't run our email system on a rooted phone.
therefore, i need to do some changes to the phone like changing fonts and removing some Samsung software.
i want to root the note 4, do the changes and then unroot it without re-installing a stock rom.
is that possible?
i'm ready to donate $25 to whoever answers this question.
No it's not possible, we will have to Odin the stock firmware in order to be back unroot ....as far as I know.
You can make a flashable zip with your mods without root the phone, you need only a custom recovery, once you mods flashed you can revert back to stock recovery

That cannot be posible i,m afraid...a custom recovery cannot be installed on a non root device... however there is a chance.... to make a flasheable zip tu unroot the device and to reinstall the stock recovery once the mods has been installed in a rooted device

Of course you can. Just flash a custom recovery via ODiN.
°°° tapatalked °°°
thank you
Thank you Slink for your elegance.
I know how to flash a custom recovery via odin and how to flash a zip file.
how can i create the zip file? at first, i'll only need to replace one font file with another one having the exact name.
swap keys
and secondly, i'll need to swap the back and recent keys because i have a very small thumb that can't reach the back key on my M8 and Z3.
this only can be done by rooting so far but our company Good messaging software won't then work on rooted android.

Just root. Do your things and then fully unroot by using supersu-settings-fully unroot feature.
once you trip knox your email wont run so you cannot unroot

Don't know about the custom recovery, but I can confirm that xposed framework works fine. I am using gravitybox and youtube adblocks and some other minor fixes. I am running KitKat 4.4.3, so the firmware is 1.0.3.61a. Not sure about the Lollipop version (which is already out in Russia)

Yotaphone 1 or 2? if it's Yota 1, there is no way to reinstall the firmware. They provide a rar file which cannot even be used to sideload via adb. I had to swap a newly bought phone citing all the wrong reasons since I f*cked up the stock firmware. Still due in receiving the replaced phone.
Temp. rooting with gandalf exploit is possible using framaroot.

To flash a Custom ROM there is no need to root, the only thing you need is to install a custom recovery, TWRP is very good. After you have installed TWRP or any other custom recovery, you have to put on your SD Card the ROM that you want to install, and install it from the custom recovery.

You don't need root to flash a custom ROM.
You just need a custom recovery. TWRP is recommended.

You don't need root. TWRP can be flashed with Odin and this doesn't require root.
Rooting and flashing a custom ROM are different and separate things.
