I really need help.Few days ago I traveled china and bought galaxy S5.
Now, I want to root the device but In my device the model is only :SM -G900. nothing is written after G900. for that i cant find the version from internet for rooting the device. At last i installed an apps name CPU-Z. In here the model number is showing SM -G900 (k3gduosctc).
But still i can't find the right version to root the device.
plz help me....
You'd need to look at the Sticker behind the battery for determination of the correct Device Model Number. Sometimes the information you see in Settings > About is not accurate. The apps you'd use may get mislaid.
Having said that Since you bought in China, it is likely to either SM-G900I (for Asia Market) or SM-G900K/L/S (Korea Market). My Money would be on SM-G900I. Given that the device is so new, we do not have sub forum for this specific variant yet. But depending on which carrier you are using or planning to use, here are the links to Relevant forums. Sprint Galaxy S5, Verizon Galaxy S5, T-Mobile Galaxy S5, AT&T Galaxy S5
To your question on Root, here's a nice thread for Sprint S5. It gives you a general Idea. But understandably the specifics would depends on your Model.
You may also use Android Hardware Info app or any other Device info apps that look at the hardware to determine Model Number.

Just in addition what Perseus71 already wrote:
Chainfire has already created CF-AutoRoot for various S5 variants.
This is IMO the easiest way to root your device. I have done this with my SM-G900F too.
But first do what Perseus71 has suggested ... you should be sure what exact model of the S5 you have.

what is Perseus71.I told that the model is showing only SM-G900 nothing else.i know there is various model like SM-G900F,SM-G900L etc but my s5 is only showing SM-G900 nothing else.thats why i asked the question.The only thing i can see the model SM-G900(k3gduosctc) when i use cpu-z apps. I can't find this SM-G900(k3gduosctc) model any where...
Is that what is mentioned on the Sticker behind Battery, under Model ?

Hi nissan0808,
I am sorry to inform you that the "UNIVERSAL5410" is commonly used on fake Galaxy devices ( Mostly S4 ). You can make sure by entering your IMEI here: IMEI Analysis. Check under the IMEI Validity Assessment.
Find it by dailing *#06#
This doesn't necessarily mean that you can't root the device, you can try the following tool:
Framaroot
Cheers!

Background: Friend's Galaxy S6 ; SM-G920F ; Android 5.1.1 ; Bricked when failed to root
Hello, I am posting on behalf of a friend who bricked his phone. He accidentally flashed the 5.0.2 CF autoroot when his phone had updated to 5.1.1. Normally, this would be easy to fix by flashing its stock firmware.
However, we have no idea what the country of origin or carrier of the phone are. We only know the model number, SM-G920F, the IMEI, and serial number. I have tried using Samsung's new smart switch to detect the correct firmware, but it did not work. Unfortunately, my friend purchased his S6 from a not-so-trustworthy seller from Indonesia and has not been able to get a hold of them. We only have access to the sticker with its model, serial, and IMEI numbers on the phone's back. Any help or tips will be appreciated. We just want to unbrick his phone. Thanks in advance!

I tried to root a GT -P5210 using the appropriate CF auto Root.
It passed but although I had checked the " aut-reboot" box, it got stuck in the boot proces.
I tried to unlock the bootloader using adb but it did not even communicate.
Samsung GT-P 5210
Android 4.4.2
Kernel 3.4.34-3241387

I've searched everywhere to find a way to root my Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge model SM-J327P and no luck. I've tried every app and program that I know of and didn't work. Is there a root for this phone?
Hi !
Is this a US variant ? As far as I know this variants suffers from this lack of development due to carrier restrictions , currently there is no trace of rooting methods as off yet on xda
You may request it here as well https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck !
