Is the Samsung SM-S975L Galaxy S 4 LTE a different than the s4 sgh-i337? I have been trying for a few days to root it but am now questioning why I can't get any thing to work. This is a phone I bought from Walmart to use on straight talk. I have been trying to use
(New Root Method for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 (OTA MF3 + Safe update to MK2)) and I can't get it to work.

The SM-S975L is a Straighttalk only phone.. Its physically the same as the SGH-i337 or any other Galaxy S4 but it has special programming so you cannot use it on any other carrier and has its own model number.
I have tried the towelroot on my straight talk s4 but it says that my device is currently not supported

Hey fellow XDA members, I have been searching for a way to
root and install a custom recovery on my I337M, but am slightly
confused about this phone, and I don't wanna screw it up.
First off I am on 4.3 - MVLUEMK6. I also have the Knox app.
Am I able to Root using a certain method? I tried Saferoot, but that was a
no go. I have also heard through my searches of "Kingo", which
I'm hoping to try, given it won't turn this S4 into a brick.
Also in the CF-Auto Root Thread, it states near the Downloads,
that AT&T users shouldn't use it, and go figure I'm on Telus. So also a no go..
Can this darn thing be rooted?!?

Thanks very much my good sir, I appreciate your insight on this!
the I337M (jfltecan) is NOT the same as the I337 (jflteatt)
i use a I337M (originally bell), cf auto root works perfect
your phone is the same as mine, use cf auto root and flash via odin on pc, it'll work
I have just recently bought the note 3 and don't get me wrong. IT IS AN AMAZING PHONE and I think it will be better for me if it was rooted. Of course there is a lot of different model numbers and build numbers for the Note 3 like the N9000, N9002, N9005, MJ7, MJ5 etc... My build number is the SM-N900V and my build is MJE running 4.3 jelly bean. I cannot find one solution online to root a Verizon Note 3 SM-N900V MJE on the internet. I was told there was not a way to root this device but I don't know. I was also told to use Kingo but that doesn't work either. So the question, how do you root a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V MJE? Any help would be much appreciated!

Use the older versions of kingo, 1.07 I believe.
Also you can use vroot and then the latest kingo. Vroot will tell you it completed successfully....but it really doesn't, but then running the latest kingo does work.
Not my video...but I followed the instructions and this works fine.

Hello, I just got a brand new at&t Samsung Galaxy S4. It is running android 4.4.2 kitkat, I am trying to get into service mode to unlock it. I have tried the *#0011# code and pressed back and entered 1 and nothing happened, I also tried the other code but option number 6 (UTMS) was missing. Any advice on how to unlock my att galaxy s4? Thanks

Did you ever find an answer for this? Does RegionLockAway work?
I can't use regionlockaway because it requires root and my phone is not rooted because there is no root for 4.4.2 kit kat on the att variant

Hey. I have the same question about sim unlock for ATT Galaxy S4. My phone is running stock NB1. I did downgrade to MK2 and flashed MDL radio (I got hidden menu *#0011#, but unlock didn't work anyways)...finally I did root and installed RegionLockAway and it didn't work too...so I flashed it back to NB1 and stuck with this question

I tried to downgrade from NB1 to MK2 by this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 and I think MK2 that I got is not exactly same as the original att S4 MK2 (cuz it has multi languages and att version I belive has only 5...idk maybe it's wrong opinion) but I'm sure if you have a stock android 4.3 MK2 you can flash MDL radio, then root it and use RegionLockAway, unlock will work. I did it with Mom's att S4 on stock android 4.3 MK2 before KitKat update.
@denverman, when I downgrade, would this void my Knox warranty and set it to 0x1?

Which model do you have? If Towel root doesn`t work there is only CF Auto Root atm, look here for the correct file http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. This does trip KNOX though.

I tried to root SM-G900F international version using "1337 0 1 7380 4 0" - just hanged and didn't work though. Not comfy rooting tripping the knox so will probably leave it!
I just got the 900V (Verizon) update which caused me to lose root. I tried towelroot v3 (with the "new samsung" settings) and still says phone not supported. Anybody with a verizon phone and the new update gotten their phone to root again? If so, can you post the settings you ended up entering after clickk=ing 3 times on the welcome to towelroot v3 text?

Try to downgrade to an earlier rom with Odin and Towelroot should work again or look in the S5 Verizon forum for more tips.

I have the same issue, but how would one go about finding the launch kernel for the S5?
EDIT: spent some more time digging around on the web and I found that sammobile has all the S5 firmware you need to reflash back to stock April version.

Try going to the general Verizon thread for the S5. There are a number of posts regarding rooting your S5 (or re-rooting): http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general

Not if you untick auto reboot in Odin, so after the flash pull the battery and you wait 15 seconds and boot into recovery and data factory reset and reboot. Did it myself mate from NG2 to NE2
Can somebody tell me, does stay official version firmware on Phone info window and on stock CWM window (knox counter 0x0) after root with towelroot ?
Thanks forwarding on answer.

This is because your phone isn't supported by TowelRoot yet as it is a new device. But don't worry, you can definitely try the CF Auto Root.

samsung and towelroot
Hey, I'm a relatively new android user, and I'm dying to root my Samsung S5 SM G900F, but it's proving to be harder than I expected.
I tried the towelroot application but it says that my phone is not supported, even though others have seemed to do this easily. Any suggestions? I use a Mac Computer as well, which doesn't make it any easier....

Depends on what model s4 they have. Just look in the thread for you specific model on how to root and what ROMs are available

TextNow uses the L720T (TriBand) model. I know BC I have one lol. I rooted simply by flashing TWRP 3.0.2.0 for "jfltespr" off TeamWin's site via ODIN, then proceeding to flash the SuperSU zip inside recovery. However, word of the wise, if you're using TextNow Wireless, don't change the ROM!! You will lose the connection between TextNow and Sprint, meaning you'll have 2 different numbers and it messes stuff up. Fun fact in case you didn't know, TextNow S4s are SIM unlocked (GSM will not work in United States, CDMA will though):good:
