Simply flash the CF-autoroot TAR using Odin for full root access.
Here is the direct download link:

In case you need Odin, here is the direct link to it:

Will this work with NF4 update? Ive seen that some had to flash back to "NE6" (or something like that) in order to get it to work.... Thanks for the help
It worked fine for me on stock NF4
What you need to get is MrSkip's Android Toolkit to make the process fool-proof (literally). If I find it, I'll post it.
Edit: http://www.skipsoft.net/?wpdmpro=skipsoft-unified-android-toolkit-v1-2-8
This is the answer to all your rooting problems. Just download it on a Windows PC and follow the onscreen steps. You won't mess this up even on the latest firmware.
The whole NE6 issue is when you DON'T want to trip Knox. If you have already done it, or don't care, then you don't need to worry about that method.

Flashcounter can be reverted to zero using Triangle Away.
Install this file using Odin. Make sure you set this in Odin as a PDA. It will not trip the flash counter. It needs to be unzipped fist, then flash the .zip inside.

i appreciate the suggestion but i'm not going to download 500MB to my computer or phone when i can use a small file to root my phone. then use triangle away to reset the counter to zero.
Did you have issues following the instructions I provided? I told you to ask if you had any questions.
The only thing that trips the flash counter (NOT A BIG DEAL) is flashing through Odin (stock roms do not trip counter). Forget the counter is there, and have some fun with your phone.

Well not "new" but you know. I just recently got my galaxy s3 (love it) and rooted it when i was on ice cream sandwhich. than i found out my carrier rolled out 4.1 (at&t) so updated my phone but then lost my root. Im coming from iphones where with jailbreaks there was a different procedure for each ios. Is it the same for androids?

Yes I can. I rooted using that method and all of my apps and data was intact...with SuperSU added so I can utilize apps that require root. I lost no data whatsoever.
I did not install a recovery though because I am wanting to run the rooted stock ROM for the moment and just did not want to bother with recovery at the moment since it is an extra step (just being lazy). Eventually I will get around to installing a recovery and CM since it has always been a favorite of mine.

But see, now this http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html site says to install recovery, then run the root.zip inside of recovery to root.
This is conflicting information, as the how to here at xda says to flash the whole ROM again.

This is one way of rooting. The object behind the original link to XDA was to not flash the trip counter. I only mention XDA because I know this allows you to root JellyBean. Follow the xda verbatim step by step as it has been proven to work for JellyBean. Note that the posting on XDA does not say follow the instructions on the site linked in the quotes, but rather to download and extract the file referenced in question. Then you continue with the procedure as posted on the forum in XDA. Please note the remarks regarding a recovery and JellyBean and the counter being tripped.
There is not always one way to root. Take note that the above link for downloading the file for recovery is older than what has been done on the XDA site. Newer information typically is the safer way to go.

Glad it worked. The information here on XDA is much more current than the site you were refering to anyway so your chance of success should lean more toward the updated information.

I just wanted to say that I was curious if I could simply flash the stock deodexed MK4 4.3 ROM from my existing rooted MC2 TW ROM with TWRP recovery and so I took a chance. I had zero issues.

Hello everyone, super noob here. I have an S4, T-Mo variant M919. I'm still on 4.2.2 but want to upgrade to a custom kitkat ROM. My reasoning/impression is the official kitkat version would not allow apps which requires root permission, nor tethering on my $30/month walmart plan. So I'm considering trying these ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2703752
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2682842
My questions are:
Are these roms compatible with my S4? (The current baseband is M919UVUAMDL, and build number is JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL)
What's the best way to install these custom roms?
Will I lose anything by upgrading (I've seen some posts about Knox-enabled bootloader, plus from experience with Apple iDevices, once you upgrade it's hard/impossible to go back)
Do I have to root first?
Is there a tutorial I can follow?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.
If you are serious about rooting and upgrading then you must follow instructions completely. It is very important that you follow every step to make sure you retain your warranty and don't trip Knox. Now that we got that out of the way let's get started.
Do you know what Odin is and how to use it? If you do then go to the link I provided and download Odin, Root_MDL.Zip and TWRP. I recommend using Twrp recovery because is compatible with the majority of Roms. Once you have downloaded those files come back and let me know and I'll give you the next step.

Absolutely! If you follow instructions you will definitely keep your warranty. This is why I gave you 1 step only. Knox won't be tripped so don't worry. Once you get rooted I will point you in the right direction. You can send me a pm when you're ready if you like and I can walk you through it step by step.

After Updating to the newly updated firmware for both Sprint and the Boostmobile/VM variant, I am very sure a lot like me are facing difficulty with any workable method of rooting these new firmware. I spent up to three days searching OPs and cant actually find any guaranteed solution. So I am hoping this thread would help us find all the answers we need at one place. Those who have successfully rooted NJ2/NJ3 should share their method with us.

I saw the guide. Towelroot no longer works , as we all know.
I happen to use Linux as an OS, and the Odin alternatives didn't work for me (it's been a while so my memory of it was a little fuzzy) I didn't just give up after the first try or anything, I've asked question about it before.
I'm wondering if there could be an alternative to Towelroot at this time. Ideally I'd rather not have to rely on some program on my PC. I'm not afraid of the terminal, either.
Yes I also faced several failures before I managed to get my phone rooted. I used chainfire's autoroot for sph710 and it worked so you might want to give it a try

One is a Flashable Zip...not sure if I have used it, but it should work and the other you must unzip and flash using Odin...I know that one works.
I used Chainfire's CF-root method but I also did not care about tripping the flash counter because this is a used phone from eBay and I have no warranty to worry about.
Well I just didn't care about warranty. Anyway it worked for me but I've Knox tripped
