[Q] root for latest android 4.3 update?

I recently received the ota 4.3 update for my at&t gs4, but I've been dying to try cyanogen mod on my phone or at least be able to remove a little bloatware. Could anyone point me to a tutorial somewhere to root this thing if it's possible yet? I do have a little experience with flashing roms and rooting with my old samsung replenish, but only with odin... thanks.
-EDIT Also is kingo really malware like many people on xda say? And does kingo work with the new MJ9 build for AT&T's S4?

If you have a little experience flashing Roms than you'll be experienced in the art of Google search. There are many threads about this already

Works the same for att even though its for verizon. Same root method but beware it could add malicious stuff to your phone and computer. Do a little researching first before you do anything. Good luck

And even when your rooted there is still no custom recovery for 4.3...so no rom flashes are possible

T-Mobile is the only one that doesn't, Verizon and sprint do as well. Goodluck with everything.

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I've been looking stuff up about vroot and apparently it contains some sort of trojan... I also read a comment on YouTube where someone with the at&t MJ9 build had success with it but what are the risks other than bricking?

Can someone please me a link

Please send me rooting link for Verizon Samsung galaxy note 3 that is the most current update. I having bad luck finding one. I'm on the stock jelly bean 4.3 waiting on dumb verizon to release the 4.4 kit katt.i can no longer wait so I want to root

After rooting, install hashcode's SafeStrap (in android development section). Then you'll be able to install any TouchWiz based ROM (Verizon).

Use this link and it will tell you everything you need to know to root the verizon. and load custom roms. It is what i followed.
However if you have any troubles with kingo not rooting your phone, then try Kingo 1.1.6 version. Look at My sig down below at exactly what i did.

I'm not familiar with the i337u but I'm guessing it's a Canadian variant and the bootloader is unlocked. If so root it with this

Safestrap.

Ok, I'm sorry, I'm with you now. After flashing a rom you need to flash the nc1 module to get Wi-Fi working. See the third post of this, the first spoiler.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227 Download the nc1 module and flash that in safestrap

They'll work as long as you flash the nc1 module after flashing the rom

This is still me. I'm on my laptop now so this is the account for the laptop. I was on my phone earlier. Anyways, flashing the modules didn't fix the wifi.
