My official sgh-m919v thread about rooting and backup.

I'm Just sharing with people that got this phone and doesn't know where to look for useful information's.
This model look's like a variant of the T-mobile model SGH-M919V
I was able to root my model SGH-M919V by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633. All credit goes to them. Not to me.
i also installed Goomanager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263001. All credit goes to them. Not to me.
I did a backup of everything with the TWRP. I will link the backup here.
this backup gave me an archive of 2.47*Go (2,655,360,375 octets) uncompressed.
Doing *#1234# give me this result.

I don't understand why this thread is in the AT&T forum, but anyway as to your question, go to either http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (you have to register to download) and enter SGH-M919 in the search box or go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-M919 and download the firmware for your phone. This is version M919UVUAMDL which should be the pre-ota version. Flash with Odin.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Not the same number as what? I understood @ferlogan wanted to downgrade to original firmware so he can use the motochopper root method.
The firmware I linked is taken right off of the Samsung Kies servers, and since the phones are so new, it will be the original firmware that is on the phone when the phone comes out of the box. I don't have your phone, or carrier, as I'm still on SGH-I777 and AT&T. But you should be able to verify in the T-Mo forum that the version number is the same as the original firmware. The version number for the ota update will be slightly different.

I think he mean to say that the number you put is for SGH M919 (T-mobile version) and we are on canadian Videotron or wind which is SGH-M919V and doing *#1234# give a different version M919VV....
I am also in same boat I want to know which firmware to downlaod to downgrade in order to Root my videotron canadian version, I don't want to brick my phone.

So you can't even get the phone into download mode now?
Its volume down + power + home. Then plug it into the pc and run Odin. If it shows up on one of the COMs then you're good to go.

yeah i was able to bring it back to original state with the official rom and it even show offical rom in the odin menu now. the only problem i got now is, when i connect kit to wireless network, my speedtest is around .3Mbps and .34 for the upload.
The rom i used is the one available in sammobile and it not exactly the same number as before. Even with Skies it upgraded to this version and it so slow on my network now.

how did you brick it?
I too have a SGH-M919V, mine is with Wind Mobile and I just recently got it.
I am assuming there are no stable or compatible roms with this model yet? I want to try rooting it how you did it and then I suppose wait for a stable rom. I'm anxious that our model isn't on sammobile.. yet.
Just curious, is yours also with Wind Mobile? my AP, CP, and CSC came up with the same numbers.
I wish there was more information and light on this particular model, thank you for having this thread.

Some of the other users and I have another thread going that has some of the information that you are looking for. Our phone does have stock odin flashable firmware and it is on sammobile / samfirmware now.
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303384

Which version of TWRP did you flash to your 919V? The one suggested by Goo Manager? It suggests Generic Canadian usually used in 337 phones. Or T-mobile for 919?

Hey Guys!
First Post here, sorry if I get anything wrong. But I was having some difficulties finding a way to root my phone. I want to have my phone rooted so I can download some root only apps and that's it. Nothing fancy. However I found that there a few different threads for rooting and me being nervous I don't want to brick my phone. It would be great if you guys could point me in the right direction. TL;DR I have an unlocked Mobilicity SGH-M919V Samsung Galaxy S4 and I dont know to follow the Canadian Thread or the SGH-M919 Thread.

[Q] Root SM-N900L

Hi everybody
I have a Korean Note 3 Model SM-N900L (Carrier U+).
Is there available CF-Auto-Root for this specific carrier? My current Android release is 4.4.2 CSC N900LLGTENAA.
Furthermore my HS's Modem is set on the Korean frequencies and not on the Italian Vodafone so LTE does'nt work. . Is this problem fixable somehow?
Any help or suggestion is welcome.

I want to say it could work on your board, CF-auto root was released for Samsung devices Galaxy s2 and up while everything below with gingerbread you would have to use a one click app to root it such as z4root or GingerBreak.

I understood CF auto root was released for many Note 3 model.
For instance is available for SM-N9005 , 900S, 900 etc.
I cannot find the file for my 900L. The other two rooting methods you mention (z4root or gingerbreak) are quite unknown to me.
Do they work ?
Thank you

I believe CF-Auto-Root also works for the N900L if you download the 900S (SKT version) because the 3 carriers use the same method.
And yes, somebody did confirm that LG works if you use the SK file.
But you could listen to jisoo's advise (which I would recommend):
Quote by jisoo:
CF-Auto-Root temporarily replaces your stock recovery to install SuperSU. It then tries to restore the original recovery, but obviously this will cause problems if your device is not well supported.
If you are going to install CWM anyway, I would suggest you just flash the SuperSU package after you have flashed CWM with Odin. The advantage is that you can take a full nandroid backup before rooting, in case something goes wrong.
For CWM, you can use the SKT version from here:. This has been reported as working on the LGU+ model, and I can personally attest to it working on my KT Note 3.

Thank you
Can you let me have a brief step by step procedure?
The step about how to install superSU package after CWM is not very clear to me. I believe CF autoroot authomatically install super su ...or not.
also which is the meaning of " your device is not very well supported"?
XDA ....always one step beyond
Thank you!!

Hi, that means that I don't really recommend CF-Auto-Root because it just keepa recovery. So what I would recommend is to flash CWM at Odin (make sure you've downloaded SuperSU. Zip to your downloads on your phone before) and then go to recovery - install zip - choose SuperSU.
Sent from my SM-N900L using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I just want to confirm that the cf auto root for the SM-N900S korean file has worked on my SM-N900L korean phone!
I then flashed CWM using odin.
Hopefully others in the future will root the 900L with confidence!
Thanks!!!

Flashing international ROMS

Since the galaxy s6 edge has the exynos 7420 cpu does that mean international roms will work on US carriers? just have to change the APNs?

I have been wondering the same thing. Have you gotten any further with this?
I'm in South America and would like to flash an INT ROM hoping to get LTE working here. LTE Band where I am right now is 1900 mhz. Would flashing an INT ROM "unlock" the phone for that? Are there other "consequences" that one should be aware of when flashing an official International ROM? Any comment on this is appreciated :good:

Im searching information about too. I tried install some 925F roms then flash 925p kernels but no luck. GPS not working, data/voice not working, even no mobile operator setting in setup.

You would need more than just download and flash!!! You need to port libs, xmls, framework, apps etc to make it compatible with Sprint

Anyway of getting a sprint compatability zip?

Thanks for the info. In my case I don't need to make it compatible with Sprint since I'm in South America. Any suggestions on how to flash an official International G925 Rom?

I think that will happens only when somebody write unified kernel for F/I/*/*/*/and P version of this phone. I researched this and found that noone from kernel makers want not do this. In nearby thread one programmer offer to try modified bootloader for 925p (to be able rollback to 5.0.2). He can't even find testers(. No one want brick their phones.

G955FXXU1AQH3 unlocked, bloatware grabage problem.

Hey fella's, and ladies. I just got my G955F, bought inside of the US off of the same person I usually go through. Turns out It's a UK model that came with Vodafone bloatware and shows 4G instead of LTE (even though it IS LTE). Is there a US variant? And if so can I flash the phone with any G955F variant software using odin? So I guess I'm asking, what is the best, and purest firmware if I am in the US. I have T-Mobile and I'm in Cali. Thanks ahead. (Sorry, but I posted this in the S8 section originally, like a dumb-dumb)
Also, could I flash with G955U unlocked firmware?

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-G955F
Here you can download the US ROM and use Odin to flash - these are official ROM's so Knox will not be tripped

NO
You CANNOT flash a G955U rom to a G955F device
It will definately soft brick or even hard brick your device
You can flash this rom ( https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955F/EUR/download/G955FXXU1AQH3/184528/ )
No bloatware, multilang and fast updates.

If you did, than you would have known the answer!!!

Got it. Couldn't find any US firmware on that page. Part of my question about the US firmware, or multilang firmware comes from the fact that Walmart sells G955F's. I would imagine whatever firmware is on there would be what I would want. Just don't know what that is.
-Thanks for all the replies so far. If I can't figure out what firmware comes on the US Walmart G955F phone, I suppose I will go with the variant listed above.
-Also, will VoLTE work on the multilang rom? Or is there a rom that works with T-Mobile and VoLTE? And if anyone is wondering, I wanted to Exynos variant, that's why I didn't buy G955U.

Please

variant of what? you looking to stay w/Japanese or go to another region/country?

I just want to use an operator-free rom stock, but I can still use it in Japan
Thanks for help!

What's Japan use for cell svc, GSM? Exynos phone? If so pretty much any custom Exynos ROM, with the version appropriate CSC ought to work just fine.

Maybe it's out of topic, but kinda similar with my question, and the last reply is still quite recent.
I just got a used s8+ g9550 (TGY/Hongkong). I looked at Phone Info app, it comes with Hongkong PDA & CSC (G9550ZHU1AQG6), and US version of BL & CP (G955USQU1AQGL). Still on Nougat 7.0.
It works just fine here in Indonesia. But I'm afraid it won't be getting any OTA updates since I'm not living in China. Is it actually OK to mix up the firmware (AP, CSC,BL,PDA) like that? What versions are compatible with my device?
I'm totally new here. I don't even know why there're 4 firmwares for each device, and what each one of them is for. All I know CP = Modem/Baseband, BL = Bootloader. Mind to explain it to me? Thanks

I'm totally new here. I don't even know why there're 4 firmwares for each device, and what each one of them is for. All I know AP = Modem/Baseband, BL = Bootloader. Mind to explain it to me? Thanks

I beleive your phone is a snapdragon processor not exynos - if it is chinese, I think there may be a way to unlock the bootloader but I am not 100% sure of that. I know that the S7 Chinese was able to be unlocked but there was a special ap you had to install in order to do it.
I know I haven't helped much but I wish you good luck...
