First my phone information:
Model number; SM-G900V
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: G900VVRU1AN12
Kernal version: 3.4.0 dated Sun Sep 13 2014
Build number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1AN12
SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SMG900V_4.4.4_0032 Dated Oct 13 2014
Security software version: MDFv1.0, Release 3 , VPN v1.4 Release 1
I want to be able to utilize my external SD card and thus my need to root my phone. I have been reading through the threads and indications are that I can do that with towelroot. I also know towel root would be the way to go. However, given the date of my kernal is this even possible yet? If so, can someone direct me to the proper root instructions if that is other than towelroot please? I really don't want to change from the stock ROM at this time but want to be able to have the flexibility to do that in the future.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all,
This is my first message and I would like to thank in advance to all whom have anything to say.
I just got myself an SM-P602 in Turkey. 602 is a variant of 601 which lacks the phone function (Maybe some other stuff as well).
It came with Android 4.3 preloaded and installed a couple security updates during the first boot. Now here's the current system info:
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: P602JVUAMJ2
Kernel version: 3.4.39-1682900 / [email protected] #1 / Tue Oct 14 18:19:14 KST 2013
Build numer: JSS15J.P602JVUAMJ2
SELinux status: SEPF_SM-P602_4.3_0002
There is a video on Youtube (Unfortunately can't post a link because it's my first message) which shows this feature on a SM-P600. His Kernel version is higher than mine (3.4.39-2040736).
Now I want to know if there's a way to upgrade the kernel to get the multi user support (I guess it's available on P602JVUAMJ4). It's not rooted, but I might take that path if necessary.
Again, thanks a lot in advance
Hello,
I need help doing a fresh install on my android phone. It is a Chinese Android phone called Mega Droid purchased from chinavasion.com. As I do with computers I have installed stuff, removed stuff, gained root access and generally made a bit of a mess of my phone. I feel I need to do a complete re-install of the Android image. Herein lies the problem. I have no idea what Rom I could install with no issues both stock or custom? My phones details are:
Model Number: 11_gq2000s_fwvga
Android version: 4.2.1
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P4,2013/05/08 18:36
Kernel version: 3.4.5 [email protected] #6 Thu Jun 13 17:41:18 CST 2013
Build number: 11gp2000s_fwvga_20130606.

I have Samsung (SM-G900FD) with Lolipop(5.0) and I want to root it without tripping the knox. I have been searching the internet for past couple of days and I have found a way. It involves, among other steps, downloading and installing the "towelroot" apk, but here is the problem. Towelroot method does not work with Lolipop and I have to downgrade the software to Kitkat(4.4.2), the software version my phone came with.
Once again I have searched thoroughly to find a way to downgrade to Kitkat and I came to the understanding that I need to download official KitKat firmware from sammobile and install it manually, but I don't know which firmware to download from the list that appears against my phone's model.
I have following questions:
1. How will I know which firmware to download from the list.
2. Once I have downgraded and rooted my phone, can I upgrade to android 5.0

I am basically a noob, but I know my way around computers and I can do a few advanced things. I can follow instructions well. So, could you please tell me, could I install a Custom ROM onto my device? (See title).
I am looking to install CyanogenMod (12). My device is rooted. I am unaccustomed to installing Custom ROMs, in fact this is my first attempt. If there are already instructions on this, please point me that way. I'm new to these forums, but I have used them to solve some of my problems.
Stock SAMSUNG ROM is installed.
