thank you i would not have figured that out for the life of me haha, my old phone didnt have it hidden
Thanks.
I can't wait to try this Monday when I get my phone. Root access will make it much easier for me to tame the beast known as TouchWiz while I patiently wait for CyanogenMod to come to this phone.

The dev noticed this in an earlier post. I believe if you re-download the file provided that an updating adb will be delivered to you. Otherwise it may just be your drivers. Make sure your samsung mobile drivers are up to date.

How do you turn on debugging mode? I can't 'developer mode' on my ATT S4 it's not there.

Go to your device settings -> scroll down to where you see your build number then tap it seven times. This will unlock developer options for the phone.
Confirmed. It works for the Sprint version as well. You might want to sprinkle this over in the SG4 section and state it works with AT&T and Sprint.

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

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.
