Confirming that it works on my ATT US S4
I confirm it does. BUT follow the apps intruccions on the app store before you open the app. This is very important. Do not turn ON the tethering switch of the phone, just set it up (name and password). Then open the app and voilà. Just opening the app it turns everything on. For turning off the tether just hit the app icon again.

Thanks for this technique!
I did everything but my phone still don't get rooted. I don't know why, here is the extract of what I get:
Does someone know what can I do?
I already accept the debug usb on my S4 etc.

Yes, I'm well-aware of this, however, I know not to restore any system apps, settings or information; just normal apps eg. shazam (to keep my tags) etc.
I can always remove those apps and data if they cause issues.
Why not just use chainfire's app I posted earlier? It sounds a lot easier than what you keep telling people to use. There's really no way to screw up while using it..

Install a terminal emulator and open a new terminal.
Type "su" without the quotes and post the output.
Also check your app drawer and see if super user is installed.
Edit. I see you had a failure in your output.
Try running the batch file as administrator.

First of all, thanks you for your quick response
I forget to say that i'm on mac os X.
How may I install a terminal emulator?
I already check on my phone, there is the super user installed but it's not working. And when i use root checker they told me that my phone is not rooted properly.

Install a terminal emulator app on the phone from the google play store
I used windows to root so I cannot be much assistance for mac troubleshooting. Can you try with another computer?

I just install "Terminal Emulator" on the galaxy S4. I type su and it says:
su: not found
---
Yes sure, I can try with my samsung series 9:
I get the same message:
Failure at the end and just before: "FILE_ALREADY_EXISTING"
Edit : Maybe i should use an other way to root it? With odin and so on?

I'm too busy scratching my balls. Maybe we'll go at it some other time.

wow, are you ignorant. I was simply asking a question, not trying to "go at it"
Can you post the full output? I want to see exactly where it is failing. What file is it saying already exists?
Try to rerun the root method, my guess is that it pushed the superuser app, but not the su binary and didn't actually run pwn on your device.

And then I press enter it reboot but it's not rooted ...

I already rerun the method 4 times. (2 times on mac, and 2 times on windows) and I always get that.
I also already did a hard reboot on the samsung and try to root but again the same error.
I was thinking of using an other method with odin and CF-Auto-Root ... :/
My phone is a galaxy S4 XXUAMDM maybe that's why it's not working?
Hrmm. Its failing installing super user becuase it is already there. That shouldnt prevent it from working though.
I did a quick google search and found this.

Does this method work for you?
I didn't try it for the moment ...
I will try it now
I delete the super user before doing this method you think?

418A recent root exploit I published for Motorola devices, Motochopper, should do the trick for rooting the Qualcomm-based variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4, including the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile branded models.
Download the exploit here:
http://vulnfactory.org/public/motochopper.zip
Instructions:
- Extract the entire contents of the zip file.
- If you are using Windows, ensure you have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers available for your phone.
- Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.
- Connect your device to your PC via USB.
- If you are using Windows, navigate to the extracted directory and execute "run.bat". If you are using Linux or OS X, navigate to the extracted directory in a terminal and execute "./run.sh".
- Approve the ADB connection from your PC on your device.
Warning:
At this point, since there are no custom recoveries or stock images available, it may not be possible to repair your device should you accidentally break it. Please be aware of this before performing any modifications to your phone.
As always, future OTA updates may remove the ability to regain root access, so proceed with caution when updating. Enjoy!

Go to System Settings --> About Phone and tap several times on Build Number.9
Sorry about that, just needed to update the version of ADB I was including. It should work fine now. Try downloading a fresh copy from the same link and trying again.
I've updated the instructions to mention that you will need to approve the ADB connection from your PC on the device.9I tried to send a PM to @djrbliss but he has it disabled.
CASUAL handles Windows, Linux, and Mac in a single Java JAR. you can open it up and go into the /SCRIPTS/ folder then open the SCR to see your code rewritten in CASUAL format.
The benefeit of CASUAL scripting is that it performs troubleshooting for the user
Download http://d-h.st/64i
Anyway, i always rewrite in CASUAL format because its more useful to have a single file that works on all platforms rather than a zip file that has differences for each.6
Its more original than anything else that will be in this forum. djrbliss is the originating other of the exploit, and the person that located the vulnerability used.
