I've been trying for the last two days to root my rogers s4 build ending in NI2, I've tried everything from towelroot to motochopper to heimdall.
I don't have windows my os is linuxmint, is there any way to flash cf auto root on Linux or some other method of rooting?
Sorry if this has been posted already.

Can you set up a Windows vm on your machine? Try cf-auto with that

I rooted my phone or at least I thought I did, but when I try to use flashing it says I don't have superuser access. I have successfully rooted a galaxy we and a HTC one xl, so I don't consider myself a noob. I guess I am to this device though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you share what you have done so far? What guides have you followed?
Installed drivers then used iroot. File found on xda. It installed superuser app but when trying to use flashify to install twrp it says I have lost root access.

I'm giving up my GS4 and need to wipe absolutely everything and put it back to complete stock, however I only have access to a Mac. What's the safest and easiest way to do so and reset the flash counter on the way?

Go to DL mode and use Kies to do an emergency recovery.

Will that reset the flash counter?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No. If you need to reset that, you will need to root on stock, and then use triangle triangle away to reset it, then use SuperSu to unroot.

Is kies the easiest way? It's terrible software, and is rather avoid it if I can.

You can go to sammobile.com look for the MDL tar file for odin and flash through Odin.

The same that I said before goes for Odin as well.

Looks like kies it is, since I'm stuck on Mac.

Actually, is there a 100% stock ROM of the latest, or second to latest, that I could flash through TWRP, and then update to whatever the latest is through it?I can delete everything manually, but that would be an easy way to stock, right?
kies didn't play well on my iMac in as far as phone being recognized. you may fair better--
here is a mac thread where OP is fairly helpful and can you restore with heimdall--might take some learning of the commands

It sounds like flashing files through ADB/fastboot on a Nexus. But man do I miss One-Click packages like they had back in my E4GT days. If only there was... I'd even do what I can and get to a Windows computer ASAP if I could get a One-click.

I liked adb/fastboot on my nexus one. Lots of versatility. I only have the iMac bc my daughter-in-law gave me one when my sony vaio crashed. kinda liking it though.
I did a full restore on a mac using Heimdall and I did not need to use the command line. I did not look at the linked thread very carefully so you may have found what you are looking for. If you'd prefer my method of using the Heimdall GUI, shoot me a PM and I'll post instructions here. I'd actually been meaning to work out how to make a Heimdall package...hmmm....

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:
No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.
Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Flash the latest firmware for your device for solve your problems.
Where do i get the latest firmware from? And i dont know which is the latest one. Also will this remove root?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
And has flashing the latest firmware removed this problem for other people?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?
If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:

However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.

Hi everyone,
I am currently rooted with Towelroot and fairly familiar with rooting.
I am wondering if I were to root my note 3 now, will towel root interfere with anything? Do I follow the guides verbatim or are there any special things I need to take note of?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Just download the app open it and push the symbol in the app. It will root. Granted your on 4.4.2 no it will not mess with anything.
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app
So I'm rooted now, all I need to do is to follow the instructions on twrp recovery to get it an I can start flashing the roms?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes its very easy but you will trip your knox 0x1 so if you are sure about it download odin from your pc install it and flasg cwm or twrp recovery you can download cwm from here choose your model https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager twrp find your device here http://teamw.in
Next follow this guide to flash it
