Hi,
I've been trying to help a friend of mine root her Samsung S4 Mini which is running on Android 4.4.2. I rooted my own Nexus 5 easily using Towelroot. When she tried it, she got the notification that her device isn't supported. I gave her the 3 alternative modstrings like 1337 0 1 7380 4 0, which is supposedly for samsung devices, but she reported that the button turned orange, her phone just lagged and 'the screen went black'. I found this guide which describes an alternative way to root her phone, but she has a mac. I read that a mac version of Odin exists by the name of Jodin. Could she follow the guide and simply chance Odin with Jodin? Someone commented he's on 4.4.2 and 'After i flashed the root kit, phone reboot but after the s4 logo the screen just got blank.' so that doesn't look very promising. Or is there still a way she can get Towelroot to work?
Thanks in advance.
