[Q] Rooting Galaxy S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i recently got my Galaxy S4 and wanted to Root it.
Is there a root out for my device?

Model Number: GT-I9505
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUAMDC
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-431985

Build Number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDC
Also i wanted to know some information about rooting.
I know that root is getting admin access but im not sure about ROMS and Kernals
Are ROMS the operating system, so after rooting i can use a different operating system?
What is a kernal and do i need it for rooting or is it just needed for ROMS.
Thanks

Note 2 going back to stock - help please :)

Hi all,
I've got a GT-N7100 and I'm currently running Ditto Note 3. I struggled to find which firmware my phone was meant to run on stock. Its a South African phone so I downloaded the XFE 4.1.2 one for South Africa.
I tried installing that and in the process it lost the IMEI. I went back to DN3 and the IMEI is back and all is working. I really want to go back to stock 4.1.2. Is there something I'm doing that's wrong?
Screen when I was still on stock is the following:
Model Number: GT-N7100
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: N7100XXDLK7
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1071214

Screen on DN3 is the following:

Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: N7100XXUEMJ9
Kernel version: 3.0.31-2138564

But first back up you're IMEI from the link below, since almost certainly you're gonna lose it, and restore back later.

I've already tried the towelroot but it says: Phone not supported, I even tried the modstring but it's having the same error. I'm a newbie on this kind of thing so if possible I need a step by step process on how to root, change kernel etc on this.
Thank You

[Q] Deleted Files

Hello, I recently deleted some files and have been trying to recover them. I know there are a few problems to help me but I cannot use them unless I root my phone. I think the only way I can root my particular phone is by downgrading the software to stock and then rooting it. Please correct me if I am wrong. My question is, if I downgrade my software will it delete my internal storage? Also, if I downgrade my software will it affect my ability to recover my deleted files? My phone's information is:
Model number:
SAMSUNG-SM-6900A
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:

VPN v1.4 Relase 1
Also, if I am wrong and this is not the only way to root my phone, please tell me. Or if you know of a way to recover deleted files without rooting my phone, please tell me. Thank you for your time.

Please help!

Does anyone know of any root methods? I can't live with this being stock and I want CM12. Towelroot v1 and v3 don't work, and I've seen that there's no known root methods. Maybe there's a way to downgrade?
Anyway, if you can help or at least try to, thank you a lot!
You cannot root or unlock your device at this time. Maybe in the future another exploit will be found, but it is unlikely for quite some time.
