I just flashed I537UCUBMI2, this is the first 4.3 for i537, but I found I can't root it! I can't remove the AT&T software and add Chinese language.
I was just want to give up, lucky, I use one Chinese software called “ROOT大师”, you can just search "VRoot" with Google. Now my phone is rooted, and I have removed all the annoying software.
Good luck.
Can you provide a link for this root method and a tutorial on how you used it? This way there is no confusion for anyone. I for one would appreciate it because I've been on mf1 for months now and have wanted to flash the mi2 leak but I've been waiting patiently for root.

This is getting me very anxious. Has anyone else looked into this? I'm at work and not going to be near a computer for a few hours so if anyone has info please share.

Sorry to reply late, because I am in China.
I will show you the steps in brief.
1. Just flash leaked I537UCUBMI2
2. Go to setting, enable the USB debug. Just like other Android 4.X phone, I noticed we should tick always enable to connect to this computer.
3. Install the "root master", this is a Chinese software, maybe something can't display correctly in non-Unicode computers.
Software download:
REMOVED
After install this software, open this software, connect your phone to your computer, maybe need to install some drivers.
4. Just simply click "一键ROOT"， the green button, the phone will restart 2 times, and after that, your phone is rooted.
After your Phone is rooted. The software will show:"三星I537已经拥有ROOT权限“
Sorry, because I cannot post pictures. Just follow the steps, you can make it.
Thanks for replying. I've got everything downloaded and I will try tomorrow after I get off of work. Thanks again.

Be wary of these Chinese root methods. They are known to collect your IMEI number which is not needed for a rooting process. Therefore XDA has not allowed any links to their software at this time.l

Thanks for the heads up. I figured something wasnt right about this. When i searched for this root method every site that i had found was in Chinese which made me start to think about it. Another thing that makes me wonder is that we have had this leak for awhile now and no one else has had success with root and then out of nowhere this pops up. Plus the op doesn't have very many posts here on xda. In going to play it safe and wait on something else.

Rooted anyway. 4.3 is much faster than 4.2.2. Samsung keyboard is better but still doesn't match up to real Swype imo. Battery life is remarkably better. 22 hr 40 mins with 23%. 2 hr 43 mins screen on time. Always died on me before. Seems more stable overall but watchon is broken for me.

Actually piracy is not the most important thing for me. May be this software will collect IMEI or other information, but I think they will not do anything bad, the built-in software is more annoying for me.

Did you use the chinese software?
Kingo root method would probably be better for you than Vroot. Kingo has responded to XDA's request to remove the IMEI collection...it just not has been confirmed but they have always kept communication open with XDA.
Yes I used the Chinese software.

I didn't even look I just installed SuperSU over it. Works perfectly.
I flashed the 4.3 leak and rooted using vroot. I replaced the superuser app with supersu. I'll report back in a few days if I run into any problems.

I asked some expert, the Chinese root method use the "Master Key", by using this bug, almost all Android 4.3 devices can be rooted easily.

Thanks for suggesting Vroot, tried it on friend's S4 active and worked like charm. Although it installed unnecessary app to manage data when connected to PC which i removed using titanium.

I tried it and it works good. After I rooted it I downloaded SuperSU and ROM Toolbox pro and froz VROOT so it wouldnt come back and try something. No problems running AT&T SGH-I537 4.3.3 rooted...
Just got the new update in from Samsung for my sm-g900F.
Using the phone for about an hour now and one thing that is noticeably better is the fingerprint sensor. I've tried the weirdest angles I could think of and it still works! Much less errors than before.
Overall phone also seems to be responding to commands better but I'll know for sure after a fee days of use.
Still waiting for a Play edition so I can have aosp now!
What update? I'm in Scotland and haven't received any

Well if you have root why not flash the new rom with Mobile Odin Pro straight away and enable Everroot and the other 2 options and also keep root.
For everyone that didn't receive the new ANG2 update yet:
My XtreStoLite stock ROM is already based on this firmware already since yesterday.

I noticed that we have less free ram in total! Is that so? Or is it just me?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yup! Showing 325 MB free for me right now. But in use the phone is definitely much smoother.
So smoother operation in a 250mb update, less ram available and still 4.4.2 droid. Makes me curious for the whatsnew log. I really hoped for 4.4.4 by now since other very expensive flagships left 4.4.2 ages ago in modern Phone time table

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy
Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.

There is also a adb (android-sdk-tools) version for Mac afaik. Google or YouTube adb and mac and you`ll find lots of threads. Link https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other.
Wrong section and adb works perfectly fine (better in fact) on Mac.

you do not use adb to root, ever. you use fastboot. fastboot to unlick your bootloader and fastboot to flash a recovery. then you use your recovery to flash supersu. there's no adb involved. why do people keep thinking that you use adb to root???

other devices had one click root apps, and towelroot. android 5.0 and the nexus 6 dont have them(yet). with a computer is the only way you can unlock your bootliader. and its an easy 3 word line.. fastboot oem unlock. is that difficult? its a nexus, there isnt any hacking needed. google sets up all nexus so its easy to unlock the bootloader and then gain root.

I searched throughout the entire forum and couldn't find anything on it. Has anyone tried to root a this tablet but the "NOOK" version. The only reason why I'd buy this over the original is because I'd get a pretty good discount on it. But would sort of only be interested in it if I could root it and but another rom on it. Thanks for the help.
