So as you can see I am a noob here. Noob at rooting too. Well I tried using Odin to flash my phone before rooting and now I get an error that says "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Tap here for more information."
I have the Verizon S4 and im just looking for some help on getting a quick root to my phone. TowelRoot doesn't seem to be supported by my phone.

When this happened I had flashed to NG6. Now it appears I took the OTA update and am on NK1. Is NK1 an issue for rooting since its fairly new?

Having a problem- can't seem to root
Hey guys- I have a question/problem.
I updated via Kies as well. I didn't like the stock ROM, so I wanted to go back to "The Unofficial" that I was using before. However I can't find the right thread to get mine rooted for some reason. Can somebody point me to the right one please? I'm still fairly new at this and trying to get the hang of it.
Thanks!

No.
Once you have CWM you can flash any Rom...You would only need root of you wanted to run that firmware....rooting with cwm before you flash a Rom is an exercise in futility...the Rom itself will be rooted one flashed.

That's because you just flashed a gingerbread kernel on an ics Rom.
The gingerbread root .tar is for gingerbread only...
Solved! Thank you,

Casual will not work.
My phone got bootlooped with the OTA update and I have been trying to fix it. All I can get to is the custom rom download. The system reset will not work. I have tried multiple firmware flashes with ODIN. Can someone please help.
Thanks,

There is no way to downgrade once you've gone to OC1 via Odin or OTA.
Sorry

Depends, if you odin'd the I545VRUGOC1_Neutered_Full_Odin then yes you can go back to kitkat. If you're baseband is OC1 then you're out of luck.

I didn't mean "completely" in a way that it's unusable, but you only get root access via ADB, since SuperSU will not work. So that sucks :/

Thanks

You can try to rename this to : "update.zip" w/o quotas and update from stock recovery or HERE you got ADB sideload files. If i remember correctly bout ways you will wipe your devices , so make backups of whatever you got important on your phone.
Good luck
