Root [Verizon] rooting s4 on verizon

[jhnybgood47]

I am getting my s4 sometime this week and I have a couple questions. I have read a lot of forums about rooting and it seems it is somewhat different for each carrier. Is there a walk through that easily explains how to root a new s4 on Verizon? Are there any must have apps that I need to get for the s4? I am coming from an iPhone and a Windows Phone background. I had a Droid X but only for a short while. I was really bored with both platforms and was recommended to go back to Android.

Thanks

Since the Verizon model is not the International model, the OP might do better looking at the (Verizon) Galaxy S4 - All Things Root section of the forum.

Whoops, thanks for the correction! I didn't even notice the International distinction on there when I posted it.

Sorry, OP. Didn't mean to steer you in the wrong direction.

Moved thread to root section.

This is what I used to root mine.

if your phone comes with the new firmware, you can use this method to get around it: http://androidforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s4-all-things-root/744428-there-root-vruame7.html

it's just root for now, no custom recovery
