So, I've looked through almost all of the threads in all the boards here and can't seem to find a thread that shows you how to root the S4. This is really annoying because it should be a sticky, like the S3 general forum.

I don't think he was saying you "should know" but more of, "and BTW, it also works with". I didn't click the link, but do a search for chainfire and S4 root should bring up a topic or two that covers it.
If you would have read the last 10 posts of that thread someone asked if that method works with mf9 and they answered yes.

@TheAxman is right. When there is threads on page 1 about exactly what you are asking there is no reason to start a new thread. It has always happened and will always happen though. By calling out people you teach them. If everyone holds newbs hands they never care to learn and will continue bad behavior.
The following was my opinion. I am solely responsible for it.

If this is an old topic sorry but I do not have time for read all related treads.
This is what's happened,
Rooted ATT S4, installed twrp 2.5.0.2,
Installed Sho 1.5, used Loki doki
I was getting the costum screen with the padlock warning when booting. All was well.
Decided to try beta 4.3 rooted, now the padlock screen is gone and I get regular boot screen. Download screen says Samsung official.
I'm still rooted and booting OK.
Uninstalled and installed clean rom ,
Flashed lokidoki, still rooted and boot screen still stock.
Is this normal?
If this is in the wrong place pls move it and if this s old news delete it.

If you don't have time to read, then we don't have time to answer your questions. Even if we did answer your question that has been brought up many times before, would you have the time to read the answers?

The reason I posted is because I believed I had something to contribute in the development side.

Nothing good going to come out of this.
Has anyone OTA'd to MF9, rooted and then wanted to reset flash counter and unroot? If so, has anyone tried to do so and found that they are having major issues doing so? Let me know what the problems are and if there is Want/Need for a tutorial. I also want to know if anyone e has had any issues doing so just in case problems are isolated to just me or not. I have successfully done this many times myself to ensure safety and all 5 times have been the exact same way and haven't been able to do it any other way. Please do not remove until we figure out if a tutorial is Wanted/Needed. Thank you.

Well, the reason being in Dev. is due to this where it needs to be if/when posted and Q/A is not where someone is going to look for this type of tutorial. It is a very fragile process the way I have to go about it and do not want to have issues ALL over to be honest.

You have your reason and XDA has our reasons. Development is for development and Q and A is for questions. Simple as that. That won't change. And we are not going to follow your reasoning. The point being follow XDA rules and not your own here please. I had already moved this to Q and A by the time you posted your above response BTW...
That's fine. No need to be rude, just move it and done. I was giving my reasons as to why I posted it, not trying to justify. Keep it calm and friendly here, plain and simple.

What do you mean the real kitkat? This is the real kitkat. If you mean LG's version then you are going to have to wait a while for that i'm sure. It will probably be at least 6 months before we see 4.4 on our phones. But I dont care when it is because i'll have had 4.4 long ago

ok I understand what is happening and that the rule is first search before asking but I'm tired of looking for the solution to my problem among many yarns, which can be up to 90 pages and only discuciones hypothesis that ultimately do not reach any finding the only thing I'm asking is at least one link in which the resources needed me to fix my problem and believe me I have searched but can not find the solution
