Until now this firmware I9301IXXUANF4
was unrootable, because towelroot didn't recognize the device, since the kernel has been patched.
I made it to root, by simply downgrading the kernel to the older version XXUANC6 dated 22 march, as @geohot says on his site " .. should support all phones < jun 3 2014
click the lambda, install the apk
run towelroot"
that was just a simple thought I had today. to grab the older firmware and flash the older kernel over the new firmware.
The procedure is simple. update normally to the latest firmware either with OTA or odin, as you wish.
Then go into download mode and flash the kernel dated 22 march from XXUANC6 and reboot.
apply towelroot like normal
if you want the new kernel flash the XXUANF4 kernel. or stay with the older kernel. your choice. Enjoy.

Hopefully this device gets more attention!
