Check that thread, there are clear instructions to help you out. You will have to flash a different kernel before towelroot will work, but its pretty easy, just follow the instructions exactly.

hello everybody ..
i been following XDA-Developers for many many times . actually i learn everything for root and flash etc from XDA .. i'm using Overcome Kernel and rom .
My Advice To You before you even go for flash a kernel you must do 1 simple step to avoid bricking your tab cuz trust me i already bricked it many times
but after reading and learning i knew how to do all the steps for flashing a kernel or a rom and after all , trust me it is easy you only have to follow the developer steps
anyways
before you flash a new kernel you must go here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 )
you have to download the bootloader before flashing anything , read the topic and am sure you'll find your way to flash by this topic. any questions don't feel shy to ask i can guide you by my Experience
hope the topic was helpful for the new users
Yeah, just download bootloader checker to check if you bootloader is signed / locked before you update to another custom rom. Anyway, if it is locked, it does not permanent brick your tab. Just restore using odin pit file if anything happen while updating. However the danger to patch your bootloader MAY permanently bricked your tab. Brick means your tab no longer be able to patch but a need to change the motherboard is the only way to restore your tab.

I have some experience rooting(evo 4g, nexus 4). I think that i have decided to use Casual root, for the apparent simplicity, to root my att s4. My question: is there a step by step video tutorial for windows 7? I see there are some drivers to download, but im not sure where they go. I downloaded them but after that im not sure what to do. Total newb here, but willing to learn and try.

This is what I have used on my Canadian Rogers S4 i337M via Windows 7 and it worked flawlessly with lots of comments as well within the thread, give it thorough read through and most of your questions should be answered within that thread.

Which of these would be easiest? Is there also a step by step somewhere or a video like the one just posted?

casual is about the easiest possible way to root your device. just follow the simple instructions. do not install any drivers. just plug the device in and start casual. the rest will take care of itself. after the process is complete, continue on to backing up before proceeding. check out this guide. cheers

Ok i read on adams casual that you have to download something so that you can go into download mode. Im assuming they are drivers, but after downloading them I have not a clue what to do.
Hi, I just got an AT&T S4.
It's currently on Android version 4.3
Can I use this tool to root/unlock it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
My baseband version is I337UCUEMK2
Once I unlock/root it, can I flash any ROM in this forum?
Thanks

You need to read the threads that are in the General and q & a sections. Start with the pinned threads. The questions you asked show that you have not done any reading and all members are expected to search and read. You will be glad if you do, because if you don't you will more than likely end up with a brick. There are several threads that already have the answers you asked. Good luck.
I read the stickied Q&A, which linked to the thread I posted above. It seems that the tool should be able to root and unlock my MK2 phone. I just wanted to confirm to double check.

It doesn't. Read all section stickies, there is a big guide in the general section telling you what works.

Hint--SafeStrap
You are going to have limitations on that build bc of the locked down bootloader by Samsung
so im not sure if people will tolerate this thread, if its against the rules feel free to report it/ban me /whatever.
i basically have a galaxy s4, sgh-i337, it has safestrap installed and im looking to install a custom rom.
anyway before i go through with it i have a few questions, i read a lot of the safestrap thread, and the mf3 threads, its just overwhelming, a lot of info in that thread and its very unclear/hard to locate anything im actually looking for, im hoping i can get a kind person thats willing to take 10 minutes of their time to answer a few question.
if you're gonna post to link me to a Q&A on safestrap and stuff like that please dont. ive read it. anyway, if you can/want to help just send me a pm on the board here. i could use a bit of advice.
if the thread isnt allowed feel free to ban me or whatever i guess.
1) Questions should be in the Q/A section.
2) I'd help but there's no questions in your post. You can PM or ask here.
