Root Please help me root my galixy s4

[cubby208]

So I am desperatly trying to root my device. And I thought it should be easy to root it with towelroot since it is supposed to work with s5's. But i suppose they have updated the kernel making things not work. Anyway my phone is a
Samsung Galixy s4 SCH-I545, Android Version 5.0.1, Verizon.

And I have tried towel root, and all 3 of the suggested number thingies.

If their is anything i can do to get this device rooted it would be awesome ! Even if i have to downgrade os version.

should help (these are, ultimately, from the thread provided by Jfalls63)

iirc, at one point or another, Verizon/Samsung totally locked-down the bootloader, not sure of the version.

There's no reason to pay for proprietary software to achieve root. I guarantee that Wondershare hasn't figured out any tricks that the intrepid (and highly determined) folks at XDA haven't.

You don't have to pay in that website you can download it right away and the root works!
So you actually just click download,connect your device to your PC,go to tools (after it scans your phone),and then hit the root button

I'm new to forums and wished I had found it before I rooted my first phone. I did a S3 a few days ago using the guide in its forum. Quick,easy and you don't have a superuser installed that you don't like and play help getting rid of
