Bumping this thread again as I've been given a S4. Have always had an iPhone which was jailbroken now looking to root this device. I'll have a read through XDA but anyone recommend some tutorials that won't brick my phone :)

Prob just looking at root at this stage then might get more adventurous with a custom ROM.

I'd be amazed if you bricked the phone with rooting. It takes about 5 mins and my S3 has had the treatment of about 12 customs ROMs and been rooted and unrooted about 5 times. No brick.

Get Odin, and the correct file. XDA S4 forums will link you with a tutorial.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
