You cannot flash a zip file with Odin you need to extract the zip file. after extraction you will find . Tar or. md5 extension file if there are no such file with that extensions then you need to go to recovery and flash the zip file there

I have a Verizon sch-1545 vrufnc5 rooted with a new rooting process called towelroot it's an apk you install and it roots your phone it roots the galaxy s4 so I'm sure it will root your phone and it doesn't even need safestrap. Yah all those long downloads of md5 files and flashing are finally over! So look it up its free and gets the job done.
