Please help! Working Root method needed! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So i really want to root my verizon s4. I'm using it on tmobile service. I was trying to find a root method but it seems like the threads are closed and I don't want to brick my phone. I"m wanting to flash hyper's rom after i root it. Can someone please provide me links on how to achieve my goal of successfully rooting and flashing hypers rom. I attached a screen shot of my about phone section so you can see everything. Thanks!

You'll need to download safestrap. That's the only recovery that will work with our phone

[Q] kindle fire hdx root

hello im new in here.. I buy today the kindle fire hdx 7 from a radioshack store that was closing in 80 bucks i want to root it and istall a android rom because i dont like the amazon one ..but this tablet is old and come with this version 13.3.0.2 and have an update ready to 13.3.2.5 im scare to update but i cant find anything to root my version any help ?
Try to remove the update before it installs by erasing and registering the kindle. Then, read the twrp thread and other threads in the dev section.

Usually. You can roll back if you need, but not if it updates much further.

Here you go. Start here. You will probably need to roll back first. All of this is risky. I suggest reading a lot before doing anything rash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2986004

You are still okay, but either turn off WiFi or disable updates now. Use towelroot and the HDX toolkit to do so. If you leave it on WiFi much longer, you will not be able to replace the native is with an alternative build.

i root the hdx and have SuperSU install and disable the ota from the toolkit .. but when I try to use safetrap does not work what could it be I still in the same version

I am not sure. I know little about safestrap. But, be careful. I do know people who have bricked devices troubleshooting safestrap. You can still use an alternate recovery, and I recommend that highly

Use Odin to flash TWRP, unchecked reboot. Pull the battery. Then boot your phone into recovery.
I cant seem to find a twrp file to Odin. .do you happen to have one please

Not sure if you still need it, but go here https://dl.twrp.me/hltespr/ and download the .tar file and then flash through Odin.
Or use twrp manager from the play store to install it.
Which version would one install?? I went from 4.4.4 nh7 custom to oc5 official.. 5.0 . Im now rooted once again... not sure which twrp i am suppose to go w. ???

Just bought a rooted phone of swaapa

As the title says, I just received my phone from swaapa. after my s4 mdk version broke. The phone is rooted and it's running 5.0.1 I'm not familiar with this version. So for safety measures can some one link the restore file you would use to restore it back to stock (the one used in odin).

There is no way to put the phone back to MDK. However, the info in this thread will give you some guidance on downgrading to KitKat and keeping root, among other things. 5.0.1 isn't bad. I'm running stang5litre's debloated 5.0.1. I bought my SGS4 from Swappa, as well. It was not MDK, either, so I'm limited to what ROM's I can run. Hope this helps.
Is it AOSP or touch wiz? If its aosp it's likely to have an mdk bootloader. Can you give us a screenshot of your "About Phone" in settings?

So, my only guess is he has an MDK bootloader with the stock 5.0.1 TW installed.

Don't flash a stock ROM in Odin. If you do that you will loose the MDK bootloader forever. You're a lucky person, you can flash whatever you like right now, whether it is a TouchWiz or AOSP. If you loose the MDK bootloader you loose the ability to bootloader bypass exploit.

Yes, or you could just update TWRP to the latest version and try a 5.1.1 CM based ROM. I recommend Exodus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3135866

Two things, Triscuit:
1) You posted a link to a WHOLE ROM and not an OTA;
2) The ROM you linked to is for the MDK bootloader which most of don't have.
Please be careful, guys!

You can download it from Sammobile. I just downloaded it a couple of days ago. It was a very slow download though. They want you to pay for faster downloads. See link. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SCH-I545/

I used Odin. I'm not aware of any other way except maybe a custom recovery.
