Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4 Android-based smartphone, isn't yet available for consumer consumption, but that is not stopping a crew of devoted hackers over at the XDA Developers forum from having the device rooted.
What does this mean for Android tinkers? By the time the Galaxy S4 is in the palm of your hands on day one, you'll be able to get down and dirty and root the device, no sweat. However, there's a small or big caveat, depending on how you look at it. Only the Galaxy S4 with Exynos 5 Octa CPU will have support for this root. There's also a rumored Galaxy S4 version with the Snapdragon 600 chip inside.
Head over to the XDA Developers forum to download the needed files to get this root up and running the moment your brand-spanking-new Galaxy S4 sits in the palm of your hands.
List of countries that will get the Snapdragon 600 clocked at 1.9 Ghz or get the Exynos 5 Octa-Core clocked at 1.6 Ghz, according to Sam Mobile:
