thats the thing bro i don't have a pc mac only
 
ok well i can try to give it a try for you...but to let you know before hand 4.3 root means your warranty is dead...currently there is no way to reset the trip counter which lets sammy no if you modified phone. this is because of the new software knox that comes with a knox bootloader which was implemented in 4.3...so if you do get to root decide first if that is something you wanna risk.

is it worth it??? I'm not really sure i just heard so much about it i wanna customize my phone like themes and all....make it look different i just got this phone about a week ago and really don't know what they have on the play store thats good...

been an iPhone guy since the first one came out and wanted to see what android is all about and so far i love it....
 
well i say yes but im biased cuz i always root...there are many advantages to having it rooted...the question you have to ask yourself is do you wanna risk it for hardware malfunctions not being able to be fixed

btw not much on mac rooting :(
