Not that I'm aware of. Do you have custom recovery now? I.e. twrp or cwm? If so you can download a pre rooted rom with the phone if not good luck avoiding the computer... is there a reason why you are unable to use your phone and laptop together? Perhaps we can devise a solution to help.

Do you have any warranty left? Rooting or installing non-official Samsung ROMs will trip the Knox counter, assuming stock AT&T 4.3.
Either you have a bad cord or USB port, or you need to install the Samsung USB drivers.
If you need root, you're not going to get around using a computer.

Theramsey's question of custom recovery is important.
There is a recovey flashable solution for our phones at http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/team-epics-root-from-recovery.html?m=1
You can copy any files you need to a microSD card also to get them onto your phone.

But if you got 4.3 OTA & you do not want to lose warranty, be careful. Custom recovery might have already broken warranty.

WHAT??
I think that they are looking to root, and are not already rooted.
How is mobile odin going to be used to flash CF-Auto Root to root when the phone needs to already be rooted to use Mobile Odin? Mobile Odin is a rooted app.
And what good is putting the files on microsd when you still need a computer, in this case which will not connect, and odin to flash?
Those files in that zip are not for flashing from the microsd. One is the desktop Odin, one is the .tar file which you need the desktop Odin, and the other is the desktop configuration file for Odin.

It sounds like you have a bad USB port on your phone.
Thank you for catching my mistake about the CF-Auto..zip. It only delivers an Odin package. CF's instructions clarify it's use for fist time stock rooting, but that won't help with OP's problem.
I posted a recovery flash alternative in my correction Copying files to microSD via a built in PC card reader is a workaround for bad USB cables and PC usb ports that would apply here.

Is there really any reason to be afraid of this and to avoid it by all means? From what I can understand there is a way to reset the counter to 0 so it does not seem to be a threat, but again I cannot be sure.
Not really. Its mostly just personal preference at this point.
I still use the root66 fw though because I flash and experiment so often I wind up needing odin eventually. Figure if ive got to odin, I may as well use the pre-rooted fw.
Some say the toolkit is easier, but as long as you know the steps, it doesn't get much safer than flashing stock with odin. Not at all difficult either.

Guys some help. I been searching around the proper filer to root this phone but some of the links are old and not working.
Somebody need to get all of these together and make it a sticky on the development section.
I guess to root this is like rooting my s2. Flash recovery with odin and then flash the SU. But cant find it.
I want the latest recovery for odin the latest su and I want the stock ICS and JB roms with odin in case I do something bad and I need to flash that to unroot. and get it stock.
Can somebody point me out this. And please somebody make those files sticky so future members like me and old member would have everything handy and easy to find.
another thing. Do we flash radios here? On my s2 we could flash any kind of tmobile radios for better performance and data. Witch are the radios?
Another thing that I noticed when this phone came out is the people were loosing the IMEI number on their device how was that posible and what they do so I wont go through it

As far as I know backing up your efs does not preserve your imei you must set it in modem mode and write it to an app on your desktop. Easy as pie to do though and it's on the forum with a writeup

Thank you for your information. I have found several ways to root. 1 with odin like I used to do with the s2. and 2 with a odin stock rom and no tripping flash counter. Is that still an issue. Is there a way to reset the counter? I used to go back to stock all stock on my s2 and root several times before and that was never an issue! First time I see this about flash counter!.

Yeah tripping the flash counter is still an issue. basically it just keeps you from using all share an to watch movies from the media hub.
What I did when I fist got the phone was Odin root66 then downloaded goo and installed twrp via the app "not cwm"

Hello,
I have several problems with my Note2
The main problem with the USB connection of the device, the device is not recognized. (See picture)
Also have another Note2 and because it works with the USB detection on PC
The second problem: I flashed one Note2Core OC kernel and now when I want to flash back original Rome, I have the following problem-
After a few minutes going off the phone and I can not see anything. then I have to remove battery and restart again
And the keyboard is not seen when I want to type anything
And this happens when I flash the original Rom.
Only when I re-install the custom kernel works only the device again
I hope you can help me ..
and I hope I did not fail thread.
thank you all

Alright so my dad just got a S4, and I did the same steps I did when I rooted my S4, except this time it didn't work. I flashed CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3.2 and flashed the root file via recovery. Now when I reboot it gets to the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, and just gets stuck. In the corner it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing". I'm doing my best not to panic, but I could use some help fixing this.
I can:
Get into Recovery
Get into Download Mode
Any tips and advice would be amazing, thank you!
What "root file" did you use? You need to flash the stock firmware and then use Odin to flash CF auto root or something.

No clue. I just assumed it would be the same as mine. I'd make the safe assumption it's 4.4.2 as the android version, as that is what the website is telling me. As far as Baseband I have no clue. Is there anyway I can find out without booting in?
I've actually done this same exact thing about a year ago with my last s4. All I did was flash the latest firmware with odin and start over. The fact that you can get in to recovery and download leads me to believe everything should be fine, except you may lose all you saved data like messages, pics, etc..

That is reassuring. It was an out of the box thing. We charged it, and then he had me do it real quick. Now I just got to find the latest firmware for 4.4.2.

No problem. I'm glad I could help.
Just for future reference, you dont need to hold the HOME button when booting into Download mode or Recovery. Other than that stickboy is right. If you have to, just go on YouTube and find a 4.4.2 root video tut if you feel you need it.

Alright, so this should work to fix the phone though right? I guess lesson learned in this situation: Look to see what Android Version you're running before getting too hasty.
I'd love to update my firmware to KitKat but nothing I do will let me update it. When I do an OTA update it goes to 27% and then fails (I've tried this multiple times and it ALWAYS fails at 27%)
So far I have tried these other methods:
Installed (and uninstalled/rebooting my PC) Kies multiple times and tried various methods of upgrading it through there like trying download mode, which the phone didn't even recognize because it stayed on "Connecting" until it timed out, but it says I'm on the most current version which is total BS. I then flashed this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644) via Odin to see if that would help updating it OTA but it didn't. It still stopped at 27%. I've done a few factory resets and tried each method again after each time. Still nothing works.
Is there anything you can suggest to help?

If you have either the official 4.3 or 4.4 loader. ..The flash will fail because those bootloaders cannot be overwritten. ..g

I did a factory reset before flashing that ROM via Odin.
My firmware is only 4.1.2 so I'm pretty sure I don't have either the 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader but I don't know which I have for certain. I do know I used the rom I linked to earlier to root my phone when I first rooted it. ChainFire AutoRoot if that helps.
I was looking at installing SaberKat 1.5 because it sounded like a good option due to the lack of bloat and a few tweaks.

Okay. ..
If you have the 4.1.2 loader that isn't the problem. ..
I'd just flash Zens 4.4.2 rom...and then you can retain your 4.1 loader... (good)...
Locate the TWRP recovery thread in development. ..and flash the new recovery via Odin....then flash Zens stock 4.4.2 rom....and done...g
