I have Galaxy S4 play edition, currently on 5.0.1 Although google has opened up writing to SD card, for some odd reason, I can't write anything on SD card in android. So ideally looking for rooting and cyanogenmod installation.

While searching came across following videos and files, that claim that one can install cyanogenmod without rooting. I just want to make sure this is true and not some bozo trying to mess up with your phone.

Supported devices - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer#Supported_Devices (Has Galaxy S4 international, but not Play edition specifically. If I am correct, both are I-9505, right?)
Files http://adf.ly/uTBGA (Can't get the real link, the file downloads after visiting this link for 5 seconds)
Install procedure - http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install

Thanks in advance.
