Rooting and ClockWork Mod installation on Galaxy S4 i9500 on Kitkat 4.4.2

Hey folks,

Just got myself an S4 i9500 and it happens to have Kitkat 4.4.2 loaded. I scoured the web to look for the sure fire way to root and install a CWM like recovery tool so, here it is;

Rooting

• Use odin and  CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.zip
• Download them here and yes, Odin is included in the ZIP file
• Check out the following site for instruction details 

Recovery tool

• Root your device first
• Use Odin and philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar.md5
• Download them here

• The instruction is pretty much standard Odin steps... just point the PDA to the .md5 file

Once you are done, you should have Super SU apps on your S4

Set the phone on recovery to check if you have the recovery tool installed.

Good luck !
