I've tried this and no luck followed instructions to the tee is there a step I'm missing. .. When I go to odin n go thru all the steps when it starts it fails at but mapping...... am I doing something wrong? N yes I'm a noob please help me

I don't have anything without being there. I used this by DL the entire root zip chain fire has prepared. I extracted the "guts" and then used PC Odin to Odin in root/supersu...then after reboot I DL ROM manager and used it to one click in CWM.
You could also Google QBKing77 and tag root s4 behind it and his video is on there its perfect

Ok so finally got root but qbking77 method didn't work I had to use kingo... now I just need a rom I'm trying to get my wifi hotspot to be able to work any recommendations?

All are pretty sweet....the TW are all real nice and the AOSP side seems to be transitioning to 4.4 from 4.3 so they are "growing"
Depends on what you're preference is.
They kind of frown on "What ROM do you prefer?" threads

Tampered as in KNOX Warranty status? If so, no, if you mean in the about device section in settings, yes..

The modem itself needs flashed in the phone slot to stick, but fair warning - so far it can't be reversed.
(Oh, and thank @crawj for reminding how we did on S4, turned out same trick worked.)

I seem to have the same problem. Both software version and baseband are stuck on NCB. I tried flashing via phone, no errors after completion. Anyone have any ideas?

it's not difficult it's just long .. and for the first time only until you get the rooted package. after you get the rooted package the method will take 15 minutes maximum in any other time you root your device.

In all honesty, if you can't sit down and spend some time reading and following instructions, you don't deserve root on your phone. Its very easy to do. All you have to do is read, and try for yourself.

If you're rooted stock that's OK debloat is OK you should still have the information I need. Just copy from system folder with root file explorer then zip them up and upload for me. Its so I have certain information for that device. Thanks
