If, while in the Original Android Development section (where this thread was originally posted) you would have simply looked at the titles of the what... 30 threads here, you would have seen "[SGH-M919] CF-Auto-Root [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]" and been like "Because this thread has 'root' in the title, perhaps it pertains to rooting the SGH-M919."

To answer the question, yes, you can root your phone. Check that thread I so sarcastically mentioned.

"outdated stuff floating around"

pertains to the thread mentioned. That is almost a dead thread for the past 2 months so why would i post in there?

You can. I have a Galaxy S4 that is running the same build and kernel version as yours. I rooted with CF-Auto-Root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294005. Be warned, though! Rooting via CF-Auto-Root will trip the Knox Warranty Void counter. As of now, the counter cannot be reset. If you want to keep warranty, then root using SafeRoot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758. I have used both methods before and they work just fine.

CF-Auto Root works on MK2, tell me again how it's out-dated?
