Rooting galaxy s4 - tmobile - pc does not read phone! Cant root! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Dear wonderful community.
Yesterday my htc one was lost..sad. So i went and purchased a brand new t-mobile samsung galaxy s4 (m919).
I went home and wished to root it. Simple process. Just one big problem. My pc did not want to recognize my phone.
Ok. So i figured let me go to the website and download latest drivers. Nope! Didnt work. Ok, let me try the kies method. Nope! Didnt work either. There is literally nothing that is going in my favor at the moment. I tried my friends galaxy s2, hey what do you know, easily recognized. Tried my s4 again. Nope! Absolutely refuses to be recognized. So here we are at work. Tried on my work pc. Guess what? Nope again!
Somebody please please please help me!
And again im sorry if this is a repost topic, if so please just point me in the right direction! Thank you ahead of time!

That should run Odin okay...
Are you using Odin to try and root it? That's the easy way to go.
I used XP and didn't need to install any drivers.

Try it and see. I bet it will work.
My guess is that you are using an older version of abd, which does not support android 4.2.2, which is why your s2 works fine.

Have you turned on the developer options? Have to do that before it will be recognized.

Try uninstalling the drivers with your phone unplugged, reboot, reinstall drivers, reboot again, then plug your phone in again.

Please have a moderator move this to Q&A, also, is your phone in USB debugging mode? Flash your new rom and activate that, then try rooting it again.

I heard that if you enter "up up down down left right left right b a start select" into the toolkit it gives your phone infinite RAM.
Issue resolved.
I used the Gnex tool and restored with fast boot.
Thanks for the not funny joke

BIG Noob Questions
Hi, I am unfamiliar with Samsung Phones. I currently have a LG phone without all this stuff about variants. I have a Rogers phone but I am unlocking it to run on Telus. That said can I run a Telus rooted firmware? Or does it not really matter what firmware is on the phone. Is it worth while to update the radio?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any answers that you can give.

Telus firmware with Telus phone

Just change the APNs to the desired network and you should be fine.

DMF1977, I tried your way. I downloaded Odin and root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar. As soon as I loaded the root66 file, I didn't even get a chance to hit start, both times Odin froze. Then I saw "Check MD5....Do not unplug the cable...Please wait". I had no choice but to shut my phone down because Odin froze and wasn't doing anything. I tried it twice. Then after I unplugged and shut my phone down I saw this in the box " root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 is valid. Checking MD5 finished successfully. Leave CS..."
I remember last year having a problem with Odin conflicting with something on my laptop when I rooted my Captivate. I ended up having to root it a different way.

It was easy except when Odin froze. I've seen other people have issues with Odin and Kies conflicting. Everything else on the computer was shut down when I did this.

I'm sorry, I don't know how else to help, other than try again or try a different method. I've heard casual was pretty easy, but I couldn't get it to work, so I went a different way.
Anyone else feel free to chime in here?? Lol...

You need to download/flash cf-autoroot using Odin for root access.
Here is the download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip
This zip file also contains Odin, so just unzip all files to a new folder in windows and odin flash
the cf-autoroot TAR file, reboot the phone and your good to go.
Good luck!

samsung t989 Tmobile boot up stuck at teamwin

Hi everyone.
I have a samsung galaxy S2, I tried to upgrade the Rom, but made mistake, now it boots up and stuck at "teamwin" logo. Would anyone please help: how to fix this. I appreciated for your help.
Joe
Hmm, if I'm correct and since you don't seem to be such an expert. You may have to use adb or some other android debugger to flash it from the computer. Better get searching on how to do that because I'm not going to explain how.

wow dude... were you ticked about something when you posted this? he was just asking for help man....
it sounds like your recovery got messed up. download the .img file for your phone, put it on download mode, flash the img in odin, reboot to recovery, reflash your rom. shouldnt be too bad to fix. Old thread i know, but i was just walking down the t-mob S2 memory land and saw this impolite response to a valid question

You can still be helpful even if you are sarcastic, take House on the TV series as an example.
Agreed, but if help isnt included with the sarcasm when someone asks an actual question, then don't bother posting
