CF Autoroot and Phliz recovery method seem to send the device to bootloop instead of rooting this particular build. Any leads?
I got the same build. I wanted to root but Now I am afraid after reading this.
Any updates on this?
P.S. This is brand new S4 so don't wanna mess up... please suggest!!

Hello all,
I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 that just updated to 4.3. Can someone direct me to how I can gain root access? Also, I am assuming that noone has published a way to crack the bootloader as of yet? Thanks in advance for any help concerning this.

There are several methods of rooting 4.3 but outside of that you will NOT be able to install any custom ROM's, recoveries,etc.
However, these methods are unsupported by XDA as the authors are in China and haven't released vital information on the ingenuity of their program (in terms of privacy and security). Thus I am unable to post it here, however... a simple Google search will yield the program if you are willing to take the risk of a random Chinese company having who knows what data from your device. The only way to have avoided using these programs would have been to put SuperSU into survival mode prior to upgrading to MK2 (4.3).

Root help
I was looking to root AT&T MK2 4.3 S4 for 2 reasons. 1. to be able to tether 2. to be able to record calls. I read other threads but found that after root, I need to install Wanam xposed framework, and reviews show that both hacks don't successfully work on MK2.
Saferoot is probably is best root method for MK2 AT&T but Safestrap recovery does not appear to be as good as TWRP or CWM as ROM Slots are required and memory will not be used to fullest.
Please help, anyone has success with any root method to accomplish 1. tether 2. call recording successfully on MK2?
or Successful recovery install (TWRP or CWM ) so the custom ROMS like hyperdrive can be installed.
Thanks all...
Safestrap help...
Hi all.. Please help me with another question... (AT&T MK2 4.3 S4)
First I would like to thank all developers for great great work here and all members for sharing their experiences and suggestions...
Do I have to create ROM slot in order to flash Hyperdrive ROM and keep stock ROM as it is
OR I can backup and wipe stock ROM and flash hyperdrive over it, and keeping one active ROM?
Only reason I dont want to create ROM slot is that then I will not be using the whole memory, I want to use all16GB..
Also I am getting a security policy update pop up on phone, should I install it before rooting or just ignore it?
Please advise,
call recording
guys anyone knows if call recording works on MK2 4.3. It does not work on stock ROM using Wanam. The phone freezes. Not sure if it will work with any other ROM.

Hi mate
You can root with this:

The only problem is that the knox bit will be set and the warranty gone......other than that it will work, unfortunately there is no method to root the i9500 without tripping the knox bit .

Hey guys, I'm in a really tough situation here and would SERIOUSLY appreciate help I unrooted my galaxy s5 with the "full unroot" method in the Supersu app so that I could update my phone to lollipop but after I unrooted, i tried to update myphone via OTA but it keeps saying I can't because I modified the system in some way then I tried to reroot with kingroot but kingroot still can't root my phone so now I'm stuck without the update and no root! Please help me I want to reroot my s5 my specs are Samsung Galaxy s5 SM-G900H with XXU1ANG3 THANKS IN ADVANCE!
So which Android version are you on at the moment? KitKat or Lollipop? I had to install a custom recovery in order to be able to root Lollipop by just flashing SuperUser whereas in KitKat I would have had to use CF-Auto-Root (I'm not sure if it works on L) or TowelRoot, which unfortunately did not work on my device because I have the G900H as well.
EDIT: I just carefully re-read your post and it seems that you're still on Kit-Kat, so I would use CF-Auto-Root and ODIN in order to reroot the device. Does it trigger the knox alarm? I honestly have no idea but I sure hope it doesn't. I triggered mine because I couldn't care less about warranties in Egypt.
Okay thank you so much for your suggestion but I have another question. In case I soft brick my phone during the Odin process (which I have in the past) how do I flash it back to normal or something like that, I'm pretty new at these root methods :/ I have never installed a rom so I'm still on stock
Hi guys,
I rooted my s5 over a year ago and its still running 4.4.2. I have been looking for months but i have been unable to find any guides that show how to get a custom recovery and rom with out tripping knox.
I have found it soo frustrating and cant understand why samsung decided to make it so difficult when it was so easy on the older models.
Could anyone help a brother out and link me to any good guides to help me install a custom recovery and a good custom rom without tripping knox.
cheers all
