Rooting Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

[z3r0aCc3Ss]

Recently, I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500
Build number is: I9500XXUAMDK

I tried to root my phone by two ways.
1) Using ODIN

Code: Select all

2) Using motochopper

Code: Select all

Both methods failed. It didn't cause any harm to my phone, but somehow I am unable to obtain root access of my phone.
Can anyone solve my problem?

With ODIN, when you restart your phone in the end, and select "ROOT YOUR PHONE" option in the final step, this step didn't happen. See the above link, and step number 11 is not happening.

With motochopper, I am getting adb driver issues. I tried hell lot of ways, but couldn't solve it.
When I run "adb devices" command, I didn't get any connected devices. There seems to be problem with "passing adb command from PC to device"...

I can see if I can get some time now the coming week, then I'll try to root mine as well (Done it before, don't need it, but don't see a problem with it either).

be careful DL'ing progs - remember that scammers want to infect your phone and computer.

Well, there was no method to root Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 XXUAMDK a few days ago, until I found the solution:

Code: Select all

Now my phone is rooted...
