Samsung S4 mini ONLY root - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I am interested in only rooting phone, so I can move some apps on my sd card, but NOT flash any kernels or custom roms. Is that possible?
I found this online,
http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/01/safely-root-galaxy-s4-mini-without-tripping-knox-flag.html?m=1
But before i try it i want to ask u guys if it is OK, and what is the safest way to just root.

You will need to wait a full day or two to get replies. Best is to do nothing until you have at least two rep[lies as the first may be well intentioned but may not be the best.

Yes you need to stop Knox for security specific apps.
Go to settings>general>security and check unknown sources , then uncheck verify apps. This is mainly for installing apps.
But since there's no real indication of what you have installed, and whats running. i'd do that first and go from there.
From what the masses say, its a root issue that has been fixed. SO yes, you have to be rooted to get rid of whatever you are trying to do.
Thanks ill do that.

Why dont you just do this? Just a suggestion if your not ready to root. I'm holding off rooting also (for now ) I'm still discovering all the things it will do just stock.

New to rooting

I have a S3 I747 4.3 and have never rooted before. Can anyone help me to root with a Mac. It relay frustrating trying to find a method for a Mac. I tried motochopper but it didn't work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Instead of using pc toolls..use android tools like ONE CLICK ROOt Or FARMAROOT
Sent from my GT-S7562 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Will that work on 4.3, and what do you know about Croat?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Do you have any warranty left on your phone? If you do, rooting may trip the Knox counter and void the warranty.
I'm not worried about the warranty I just want my phone to be better
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Rooting will certainly allow you to remove bloatware and the like.
Do you have VMWare on your mac? If you do, you may be able to follow one of the 4.3 rooting guides that requires a PC.
No I don't have amything. So I need a step be step that can be used on a Mac.

At&T
As a side note, rooting will not automatically make your phone better.
If you have access to a PC, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
My main reason to root it the battery, bloat ware, and free tether. Sadly I only have a Mac and its like pulling teeth trying to find a way to root for 4.3 on a dang mac . Looks like I may have to find a Buddy with a pc

Just noticed that it doesn't work on 4.3

Just got a note 8 on Att....

Trying to root so I can install a debloated ROM but I don't know which model this is. I know its gt-n51xx what's the last two digits?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you bought an att note 8, the model number is actually i467.
There is a method to root our device, but since it has a locked boot loader we do not have the ability to install a custom recovery or flash custom Roms yet...
Hopefully someone smarter than me can figure that out...

I used SafeRoot to root mine. I followed the method in the [ROOT] Saferoot: Root for VRUEMJ7, MK2, and Android 4.3 thread including the Tomsgt YouTube video instructions and had no problems.
sgh-i467 ROM?

I was able to root mine, using saferoot, very easy. but i cannot find any ROM's. did you find any, please let me know. thanks,
Yeah, there is no ROMs available but you do have the option for 4.3.x or 4.4.x when AT&T decides to update.
I have no issues with AT&T 4.1.2 once I safe rooted.
Had purchased new in March, and is the best $220 for a unlocked US tablet I ever spent.
Pretty much the same setup as what I have on my Note 8.0 WIFI only.
