Just began the root process with motochopper and I get a problem su binary out of date.
I don?t know where the fix might be and if you could direct me as to a new root process

It was my impression the I337 isn't rootable after AT&T's latest update.

4.2.2 is very vague - we need to know your build number. Go to options/more/about device/build number - tell us what it is.

It sounds like you're on AT&T with MF3. In that case, you need to read here:

Great to know one can at least root their SGH-I337...if they're feeling brave.

from my Sony Xperia Tablet Z or XTZ or "Ecstasy"

Read the link I posted above. Motochopper does not work with your build.

i guess then the question is, is there a way to root without Motochopper? if so what method

Yes there is a way. Just did mine yesterday and it was pretty easy. Here's the link to instructions:

New Root Method for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 (OTA MF3) - xda-developers

You may want to follow that thread if you have any issues doing so. Long story short is you have to push the root files to your phone from your sd card via adb commands using the Terminal Emulator app (free in play store). Follow the instructions and you should be fine.

I don't understand...I said read the link I posted above. In that link it explains that motochopper doesn't work AND shows you where to learn how to do the new root exploit...all the info you need sitting there waiting for you if you will just click the link I posted for you a WEEK ago lol
