Does anyone know if there's a legit way to root s4 i337 MK2? I keep getting conflicting info.
I tried Kingo Root yesterday. So far it seems to be working great. During the process, I received several pop ups to install software that was considered potentially harmful. I cancelled each install and was still able to gain successful root. While prices was simple and took about 5 minutes.

In the mf3 thread they said kingo is not recommended. Is there a reason it's not? I used kingo on mf3 and if it works on mk2 without problems I'd like to use again as I don't need custom recovery or roms. But I'm afraid of att updating again and it screwing my phone,

Jeesh. It worked so well too. Wish it could be reversed engineered to see what they did to root.
To answer your question, No there is no verified safe method to root MK2 if you are not already rooted prior to update.

Do you know if anyone is working on a root for this update?
Kingo works for MK2. I can confirm it worked with no added instability or apparent issues on the 2 I337 devices I've messed with. But is it reliable? Well, it does send your IMEI to a Chinese server for some unknown reason. You can try Vroot if you want but it's definitely not as 'user friendly' if you catch my drift.

So this definitely works? Now I've never had it rooted so this would be a first time root. Can you post a link

XDA evidently considers Kingo malware, so no link from here. But just type "kingo galaxy s4 root" into Google and it should be the top result. Their website states that it is for the i9500, but it has been confirmed for the i337. As always, USE THIS PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
We have a safe new root method if you guys want to try it. This is confirmed working on the VZW S4 but should work for you guys too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48392009

Glad I found this post, I too am curious. I wonder if it will be like when I had the canadian s3 and could just flash the AT&T rooms just fine. Gonna hold of rooting the s5 until this is cleared up

Yeah, thats what I meant. Gonna wait in general until the rom variants are sorted, who knows maybe there will even be a way to root without trip.
Hey guys. I got a notification about a software update for my Rogers G900W8.
Was wondering if I should apply this update and would it affect root?
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I made a post about this the next day the S5 was lunch. Rooting wasn't an issue for me as for flashing ROMS, some are compatible here, just need to ask them first. I'm wondering if we'll get our forum as well.

I would think most roms would work, I'm just wondering about our modem and baseband. Is it just a matter of flashing our modems to ensure lte function.

Meh, I didn't think about that =/. I guess you get no signals if modem/baseball aren't compatible. Is there a link to get our modem/baseband?
On the Note 3 N900w8 users got lucky, they could downgrade to JellyBean and back to Kitkat without issues, could root (on JB) without tripping KNOX and can pretty much flash ANY international ROM on their device (in this case the N9005 ROMs, N900T ROMs etc) -- IT is possible, now I use this term very very loosely that you *may* be able to flash a whole lot more than w8 only ROMs.
So before I go any further I would just like to quickly note that I have tried to do some research on this question before posting it and have came up empty handed.
Now for the question: My Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 updated to NC1 the night that the update was released and I was wondering how I could currently achieve root on NC1?
Specs:
Model: Samsung SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: I337UCUFNC1
Currently running 100% stock and would like root.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

The same way you root NB1. This has been asked, you proceed with the downgrade as normal. It may help to go to NB1 first and then MK2.

At one point we all were and called ourselves like that. What bothers is that we see the same questions on new threads over and over. A forum was design to read and search. Once you don't find your answer you post a new thread. Some moderators will suggest the same to avoid clogged our forum. That's how we should treated and care for. I don't feel it's offensive and if it is apologize to those who feel that way.

I remember when I had my GS3 I had to flash stock 4.3 (which if I'm not mistaken still has a locked bootloader) and then I flashed a custom stock 4.1 rom and was able to flash the latest CM 11 plus a modem/bootloader combo zip from 4.3 and it worked fine. Is that even in the realm of possibilities with the GS4?

I had the GS3 also and it was great you could flash anything Ubuntu and more, but now AT&T tied our hands because the war it's having with Samsung we pay. Others phones like the HTC it's reported to be bootloader unlocked. You can flash cm 11 without any problem.

I JUST got my G-Note 3 Flashed, at a Local Device Center, with 4.4.2. Kingo Root would NOT root it.
Towelroot made quick work of it. Good Stuff.
Bootloader remains locked (of course).

Successful Root for Stock 4.4.2 NC2 Note 3
Stock 4.4.2 AT&T NC2 and A3 bootloader. Towelroot worked with no issues at all. Running XPosed, Titanium Backup, AdBlocker. All AOK.
Much thanks again Geohot!!!
No guys, this is not a scam. It works perfect on my N900A Note 3.
Woohoo! worked on my SM-900A NC2. Thank god, I was really feeling down not having root.

My warranty just ended and i wanted to try a one click root method. I saw a lot of samsung users on youtube using towelroot so I decided to try that. I downloaded the app, the first time i clicked make it rain, it read, phone is not currently supported. In the video discription it gave a different modstring for sprint model s4's. So i tried that, and i got the same message. None of the modstrings seem to work and ive tried many other root apps but i prefer towelroot. I dont have a computer on hand to use odin and i really want to use a one click method. How far away will the next update be to fix towel root and if not any other one click apps??

If you took the NG2 update, Towelroot won't work. That loophole is currently closed.
And don't ask when something will be updated. The devs here do this for free and have personal lives to worry about. They'll get updates out when they get updates out.
