Also if you need more info on what I need please let me know
Your asking for help so this should be in the q&a forum. It would really help to know what firmware you're on.

If you don't even realize you are asking about a SPRINT S4 in the AT&T S4 section, you should not be doing anything to your phone until you read and learn about it.

I agree. Also what are your goals for wanting root for your phone? What is it you wanna do with root?
Hi guys,
I know this doesn't belong here but since I couldn't find the thread for the AT&T device I decided to post it here.
I have a handful of SGH-i257, this is the AT&T version of the S4 mini. As you might imagine the booloader is blocked and I don't have that much time to dig in to the unlocking process (I have tried) but I managed to root it and extract the images (boot, radio, efs, system, etc.) So if someone is interested in this please let me know and I will be more than happy to help.
Thanks

Ramping up
The AT&T i257 is great news! I have a Telus i257m, and these phones are great. They are like the i9000, so much potential!! Now that a larger carrier will be pushing them I hope we can get some developers on board and start getting some ROMs up!
We do have a thread started at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520299 where we're trying to get the stock images for most, if not all, the carriers. Do you mind uploading them there?

Does i257 have a notification led like the Verizon version? If so, anybody test it with light flow?

Hallo can you please post or email me step by step root process for this device? would be good to know, my friend was asking me to help him with that.
If you have the current and up to date firmware, you won't be able to root it. Knox will block any root access

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the locked bootloader is the one preventing from rooting? There's plenty user around with Knox and rooted... Just with the Knox flag triggered and void their warranty.

Could someone please post or upload their build.prop

Thank you.
Hell, I'd be happy if they would just give us the 4.4 update...
I'm trying to root this phone and would really be interested in more information as well. None of the recovery images will flash using Odin ("auth" error), and none of those automatic rooting apps have managed anything either.

I have tried every version of Towel Root but to no avail. It is my understanding that the dev that created this exploit is now working for Google and to my knowledge, there will be no more updates! I can only hope that someone here on XDA that's way smarter than me can pick up the baton and get things going again. Probably easier said than done but I'm very hopeful!

There's a feature on the forum called "Search", you could have used that instead

thanks for your interest in replying..however it seems that you just replied with rooting method in general and not knowing the real issue about this specific device..
None of this methods works for this device as of the moment.
I think you also do not have the same device as me so it's really hard to provide something that you're unsure of
