Also, I see so many methods out there... What would you recommend for a newb a little scared of the process? Is there a method that's easiest/safest?
As far as ease of updates etc, it just using the basic google edition of android best?
Thanks a ton for any help. I am. Enjoying the forum.
Well, once you root, you no longer get OTA Updates. Updating will be up to you.
As far as learning to root your device, try searching something like 'root S4 Rogers' on YouTube. Watch as many videos as you can find, take notes, and compare them. If they all pretty much agree on files and procedures then it should be fine.
Above all, if you have any questions ask!
Tips: Follow guides that outright say they are for your device. Make sure files match your device.
Again, if you have any questions, don't do anything, consult someone here first.
Happy rooting!!!
