The firmware is now available download as Over -The-Air (OTA) update as well as through Samsung KIES. However, those who cannot access the official OAT update notification or Samsung KIES for some reason can install the same manually using our Step-by-Step guide posted here.

Galaxy S4 user, who have already installed the latest OTA update from Samsung, can root their device using tried and fasted CF-Auto-Root method, which is explained in the tutorial below.

NOTE:-  Rooting is essential for installing custom ROM, third party apps and latest system tweaks. Rooting a device will void hardware warranty. Thus reinstall the latest official firmware to restore stock setting on the device and reclaim its warranty.

STEP FOR ROOTING

2. When you see the warning screen, let go off all buttons then hit the volume up button to entre ODIN download mode.
3. Connect a micro-USB cable from your Galaxy S4 to your computer.
4. Next, download CWM recovery for your galaxy S4. Clockworkmod is currently available  for GT-I9500, sprint SPH-L720, and T-mobile SGH-M919 models.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Also download ODIN,Samsung USB Drivers and SuperSU Zip files.

You should see yellow highlighted box.                                                                                                                                                                                                     Next, choose PDA, then browse to the CWM  recovery you downloaded earlier for your Galaxy S4. (It's a file ending in .tar) Hit start to begin flash CWM recovery to your phone.
6. This will flash a custom CWM recovery to your Galaxy S4 and your phone will reboot.                                                                                                                                                                                 If you see "pass!" that means everything went successfully.

17. Run the superSU app once and update the binaries.
