A galaxy S4 and a Macbook, those things shouldn't be in the same sentence.
However, I found this video on google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5SluqWPus8&list=PLdq__cOJ2egyX7yodrOhlI1Tf2tHG_oVH
Hope this will help you root your awesome GS4.
Or else you could download an app called Towelroot and root the phone from the phone itself.

That guide is outdated and will not work.
Just use Heimdall to flash cf auto root. I rooted it that way using my mac.

My at&t galaxy s4 is rooted, so can I use the CASUAL method to root it again and have twrp, then flash custom rom?
Will this brick my device?
Thanks .

I don't think that would be a problem but just to be safe go back to your stock GS4 version and start over.
Why not just follow the directions in the OP? Quick and easy.

thank you so much for all advises.
All,
I am new to the Android arena (former iDevice owner familiar with Jailbreaking).
I was wondering if there is a root available for this tablet. I just purchased it.
I tried the English version of vRoot v1.7.8 but it said it couldn't root this device. Odin3 does not recognize it either.
Has anyone successfully rooted this yet?
Thanks in advance.

Have you try towelroot? Mine is T331 and working well with towelroot
The rooting guide is in the general section of this forum...just go look. Read the whole thing if you updated your tab in August you will need to downgrade. Good luck!
Towelroot doesnt work
Towelroot doesn't work because i believe I'm updated to the latest update on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (SM-T230NU). is their any possibility that anyone would be willing to walk me through the steps to root it? or if i have to downgrade it can someone help with that too? thanks in advance if anyone does..

Your gonna have to find a kernel that was dated before june 3 if your going to downgrade. Have you tryed vroot, rootgenis or other methods? I dont know how many root applications are out there because I dont have this tablet but there are a few.
Vroot works but you have to Odin back to ne2 firmware. Hope it helps.

I got a successful root without using a computer .
King root worked but not their latest version . I used version 4.1 , their latest version worked but partially . In my opinion their getting sloppy with the updates.

I'm just stock and rooted. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a specific recovery to use. I don't want to brick. Do you know what I should use?
@Tiraniss Im new to Cspire and I don't see much development for our phones hopefully some nice developer will take interest in our devices soon.
I sure hope so. I was able to flash cm on my s4 but the screen got smashed.
Anybody had any luck with this? I've recently switched back to c spire...

Stock verizon note3 sm900v
Android 4.4.4
I'm not finding much in ways of options for root currently. Is it possible to flash my phone back to 4.4.2, root once there, then sideload 4.4.4? Using something like Odin maybe?

SM-N900V
I have tried everything to root my device: SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1
I haven't had any luck with the following:
Kingo
VRoot (IRoot)
Towel Root
SuperOneClick
The referenced URL ^^^
Is there not a way to root a stock 4.4.4 SM-N900V yet? If not how can I downgrade to an OS that will work? Any leads would be great! :good:

Maybe this VIDEO helps you. It's for one sm-n900a.
Perhaps it would if i could find the corresponding files for the n900v. Any ideas where i can find them?
i found everything but this file:N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip
Update
After some extensive searching i found the files and hope to attempt to downgrade according to video posted ^ with my SM-N900V. I found a great site for FW versions for anyone encountering this problem in the future: galaxynote3update
update
This method does not work on Verizon. I found the Verizon equivalent files and attempted this but got a SW REV CHECK fail when trying to download 4.4.2 FW. ATT must not have a version check in theirs. I have exhausted every method out there. Hoping someone comes up with a one click root for this configuration soon cuz not having root sucks
Did you ever succeed?
I just received a new Note 3 from my warranty company. I was hoping it would have 4.4.2 on it
but it has the same version as yours. I really could use root.
Any luck with your phone?
Hey you all
I have found a few pages on rooting our Verizon note 3 4.4.4. I do not know how to attach the link but if you look it up in XDA Verizon Note 3 you will find it there. Thanks to designgears.

Upon further research I found out that if your phone is n900vvrudnk1 it is not compatible to root. It seems that sammy has us under lock-down for now. If we upgrade to the lollipop 5.0 will this upgrade boot loaders also?
My phone is i9505 from At&T. It is not rooted, and I have upgraded to 5.0.1. How do I root my phone now? o.o Thanks.

If it's a real i9505, use CF Auto Root. Otherwise, if it's one of the many devices showing up with an i9505 ROM but i337 bootloader, you'll have to downgrade to 4.4 and use the keeproot method. Go in to download mode and it should tell you the real model.
