How did you root and did you manage to install a custom recovery?

It doesnt work, the devices isnt supported according to the app.

towelroot worked on 4.3, so maybe it's only not supported on the paper?

If you have root they are in /cache/fota_dn and will be a long string of numbers/letters.

CWM_6.0.4.6_Non-Touch_GT-I9506.tar < thats the one i tried and it did pass the flash but still i got standard recovery.
The phone state is "changed / own" its not official anymore but still same thing no root no custom recovery.

I do not have 4.4,2 installed but that post says that the root supports 4.4.2 on i9506

i guess its with non-official firmware they managed to root.. The version im runing came out yesterday.
I will give it another go and flash an older recovery, there where a few to try.
I will let you guys know if it works.

I can confirm that none of the earlier root methods work.
The thread about rooting and installing custom recovery is probably for older version of 4.4.2.

 

[Zeggi]

flashing custom recovery works.
I used the following recovery version, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757538

Unticked reboot, and after flash was done i forced it to recovery and after that i flashed root

root

I installed the clockwork recovery from 4.3 and then flash the supersu.zip. works perfect.
I use the normal org. Samsung Rom
