Root AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337(Not SGH-I337M) and Android 4.3

Trying to root SGH-I337 (not SGH-I337M). I found a few different chainfire downloads, but non of them seem to match my model perfectly. I tried "SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip" which I found on a YouTube video guide, but it had errors during update and failed. Fortunately, It did not brick my device.
On this site "autoroot dot chainfire dot eu/", I found this file "CF-Auto-Root-jfltecan-jfltevl-sghi337m.zip", but it says this is for model SGH-I337M. Which I think is a Canadian model (but not sure). I don't have a "M" on the end of my SGH-I337 model name.
Can someone please point me in the right direction...
Which file should I be using and where do I find it?

Check the stickies at the top of this forum. That's all I'm going to suggest.

Please know that I already looked through the FAQ and stuff at the top of the thread for a couple of hours but didn't find my answer. Anything more specific you can tell me would sure be appreciated.

Everything at the top of the discussion seems to focus on the I337M Canadian model which I don't have. I have the plain i337 USA model. I appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,

Thanks. I also just took a second look at the top of the thread like HORiZUN instructed and found a video that appears to be for my model. I'm watching it now. Between your post and the HORiZUN post, I think I may get this figured out. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks.

I337
installed Samsung Kies but got this error:
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies."
My firmware is: I337UCUEMK2
I may have installed the wrong Kies version because while my device has Android 4.3 on it, it came with 4.2. I'm trying downloading the other version of Kies now. I hope it works.

I337 firmware I337UCUEMK2 root?
Both Kies 2 and Kies 3 do not support my Samsung I337 firmware I337UCUEMK2
so..I'm stuck again and don't know what to do next.

Don't even use kies. Kies is so stupid its a copycat of iTunes that doesn't work for the life of you. At least iTunes you can upgrade.

It will work trust me. Mj6 was a leaked att version of 4.3 then the official was mj9 before they stopped it to fix bugs and brought out mk2. It will work follow that guide. Download the mf3 emergency files flash via odin sideload mf3-mj9 then mj9-mk2 and you'll be back. Follow the guide step by step or follow the updated one ted77usa rewrote.

I337 firmware I337UCUEMK2 root?
All,
I installed the Samsung Drivers and then completed this video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2283918 which had me use the motochopper tool for the Galaxy SF. It looked like it completed successfully and rebooted my phone, but the device is still NOT rooted. It didn't work and I am not bricked either (whew!!)
hovax615,
I'm sure you realize the importance of me getting correct and not bricking my device. Please advise when you say "you'll be back", what exactly will I be back too? to my knowledge I'm already in the beginning and phone firmware has never been changed, because my phone is still not bricked and not rooted. I have never loaded MJ6 (whatever that is). My apologies for being a noob, just trying to understand and do this safely without bricking or messing something up.
It's late for me now, and I will read any replies and continue this journey in a couple of days, perhaps tomorrow.
I really appreciate your help. Please advise.
Thank you all

I337UCUEMK2 Root? (My device is NOT bricked)
This firmware and baseband terminology gets confusing because early when I tried kies, samsung kies calls it firmware (I337UCUEMK2), but my "about" settings on the phone call it baseband (I337UCUEMK2). So I guess the word Baseband and Firmware are interchangeable?
In any case, I'm getting lots of great help here and feel I'm getting close to the finish line. It would seem that I now have two options to try:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2473747 - sent by [email protected]
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 - sent by both [email protected] and ted77usa
Does anyone one have a suggestion or preference on which of these two root methods is best (or to try first)?

Safe root method worked beautifully. Thanks you both. My phone is now rooted.
My next mission is to figure out how to flash it back to factory specs (unroot), for when the day comes that I want to sell it (which is a long ways off ) and so that I can be sure I didn't put any malware on it from all the other failed attempts I made. One of those attempts involved booting to safe mode and loading a zip file from sd card. Though it failed, that attempt went pretty far. It actually wiped my phone and rebooted it. It looked like it may have applied some changes though there was some errors during the process and it did not root my phone.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or provide the link to the factory rom and process for doing it. I'm all ears

...I read this post 5 times trying to figure out exactly what you want to do, or even think you can do! Honestly if you don't know anything about rooting then this particular phone will end up as a brick. The bootloader is locked on AT&T S4. No way around it unless you are NOT on MF3 or later... Is your phone actually rooted?? You can't reset the counter anyway.

The recovery that works with Safestrap is TWRP. And depending on which firmware you just flashed it will either be version that is specific for that firmware. Do you have Safestrap installed yet?

It should have booted past that screen before waiting the ten minutes. Can you still get in Safestrap? Sometimes you can have a bad download. Try one of the mirrors for the rom link and download again. Or you can try to wipe and flash it again. I had problems with hyperdrive when i tried using it. (Some roms just don't work on some people's phone). Can you try another rom like. Deadly Venom or Google Play? Seems most people have fewer problems getting those installed.

Your best option, and proven to work would be to just reflash your current firmware or downgrade back to MK2. Then root it easily with Saferoot. Then Safestrap it, which comes with TWRP recovery. Once that is done you can either restore a backup of the rom... if you have one on the SD card. Or download the rom again for the firmware you are on.
That's what I would do, (have done) when that happened. None of which is very hard to do either. So... what firmware are you on?

I really wouldn't know how to correctly walk you through with installing Safestrap through ADB because because of the different way it mounts.

Did you install the Samsung USB drivers?
Have you tried a different USB port on your pc?
If that doesn't work try to Uninstall amd reinstall the Samsung USB drivers.

Anyone else notice tremendous lag after rooting this phone?
Mine has significantly slowed down and lags constantly where as before it was lightning quick. Any fixes for this?

Mine does that no matter which root I used

Look in the "Note 4 is rooted" thread or almost every other thread that mentions lagging while rooted -- it's been clearly defined as being Xposed causing it at the moment. Root on it's OWN should never cause any lagging issues like that.

Yes, everyone needs to quit asking that. And no there will most likely never be a way to root without tripping it, so just root.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T818 Update on TWRP and root

Like the title says, the new T-Mobile version of the S2 with the Snapdragon processor. Is there any type of development being looked at for it? I'm looking to be able to debloat it at the very least. Any knowledge of that here at all?
UPDATE: So looks like that TWRP for the T819 works great for the T818 devices. Go to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627/page67 and follow the directions there.
All thanks and credit to @ashyx and any other TWRP devs for this.

I too would like to know about this. I just want root. I read that 813 may be possible because of processor but I don't know

Don't know if you noticed in the TWRP thread, but we finally have our answer. Try using TWRP for the T819. I'll be giving it a try after work. If you do it sooner can you let me know if it works? One of us is going to have to be the guinea pig.

Did you go into developer settings and make sure OEM unlocking was checked? Says in the TWRP op that you may have to do that.

There is a permissive kernel on the development section for the 819. It might be worth a try. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/kernel-sm-t713-permissive-kernel-t3425938/page17

Yeah just wanted to check with you to make sure root worked, and what root you used. SuperSU or PHH?

What about root? Is there a clean root method that doesn't cause a bunch of ****?
Want to try to play shield games, mount and blade for instance.

stock firmware
I've heard the same about our bootloader
but here's the firmware you were asking for:
dubdubdub sammobile dot com slash firmwares slash database slash SM-G935p
(sorry about the lack of link, I'm under 10 posts still)
I have been using the G935U firmware since October. I like to pretend it's the closest I'm going to get to a debloated ROM for this phone.

YES there is a Clean root method i just rooted my Sprint S7 Edge about 10 min ago using Root Junkies adb Method. it was VERY EASY and short

I'm thinking of getting the edge. I'm not an expert. I have rooted phones but never used abd. Is it hard to use? And with root can you use Hotspot ?

However the ONE Thing that didn't work for me was my data so had to reflash back to stock. Still waiting on a reply from root junky for a fix incase i decide to re-root

Let me know if u get that fix.

Hate to be anal here. You mean that your carrier settings were lost and wifi was your only work around.
If that is the case I'll bag this idea till I know it's fixed.
Who is your carrier?

Carrier is Sprint. All i know is that i couldn't make a phone call or surf the web Unless using Wifi. Simply watch the video in the link and read the comments below and decide for yourself. Sorry im not a Tech Savy as most of U are.

I had the same problem, found a root method that worked but lost my cell internet connectivety, still had calling and texting though.
I just want root to use gltools so i can play nvidia shield games and mod games with gg.

Rooting after a certain version has the issues you described. I think it happened when the BootLoader upgrade happened. Look into the u firmware. Rooting on this device is different and kind of unstable.

to my understanding from other methods that i've seen on here they all say to remove ur sim card so idk might be an option if someone wants to attempt it and if it works I'm down for doing it

I found one with all workarounds for the problems with rooting this phone. Fixes for data cell service, and you can google wifi fix to save your wifi information after reboot. Involves build.prop editor.

@Nickvanexel Normally when folks boast about something important on a popular device, they back it up with either a how-to or links that point them in the right direction. Not only to verify proof but its also common courtesy. I see neither the 2 from you on this post or anywhere else. So tell me...
Was your intention to dazzle everybody with bullsh¡t or are you that much of an asshøle? ???
