Hello!
So I recently had trouble re-rooting my Galaxy S4 which caused the device to go useless...
Now, i dont feel that bad as the phone was aging so I took the opportunity to go buy a new phone. Thing is, most of the apps I use involve root (such as Xposed).
Heres my phone detail:
Model Number: SM-N915T
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: N915TUVU1ANK3
The rest:

(change the xx to tt since i cant post direct links yet)
Any good guide on how I can root?
search is your best friend.. especially in the General Forum
here is the link on how to root the 915T model.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
The steps there are for the 5.0.1
but the steps are EXACTLY for the 4.4.4 (which i am using right now, and did those steps)
good luck

Hello,
I really really want to root my GT-I9507, asap, have been looking through this site alot recently and the simplest (for a noob) way seems to be 'CF-Auto-Root'.
The problem I am having and not being able to solve is how do I unlock the bootloader?
As chainfire says it can brick my phone if locked and it would appear that it almost certainly is, but I cant find a way to unlock the GT-I9507. I can see that some people must have as they have used the 'CF-Auto-Root' method.
Any ideas, or if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Katoiam

I got a response on a different page from a person who had rooted their GT-I9507 phone, they said:
I managed to root it mate, flashed latest optus 4.4.2, then flashed Philz recovery, then flashed CF autoroot ( the new version dedicated specifically for i9507 which you may find on cf autoroot website . )
Use This CF AutoRoot; ( This one is for Android 4.4.2 )
http://download.chainfire.eu/503/CF-...zh-gti9507.zip
Check all versions here;
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
If you want custom recovery, use PhilZ ( The same as for I9505 ).
Good Luck.
But as I am very worried about bricking my phone, and as chainfire does specifically say it can brick your phone if the bootloader isn't unlocked , can some one help me to understand why this method works?
I really want to do it, but am very scared
Cheers,
Katoiam
I am beginning to feel a little crazy as I think I am talking to myself!!
On a different forum, some one has just suggest that in Australia the S4 probably doesn't have it bootloader locked!
Can any one confirm this? Or help me to find out if my bootloader is locked? I have also looked for ways to do this but haven't (I believe) found anything relevant.
Cheers in advance
Hi,
I suggest you ask the experts who own your device for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886
Good luck !
Cheers Darth,
I will make a post there now.
I didn't even know this post existed, I have been searching GT-I9507 the whole time as its not so common
So Just to finish this post off,
I have just made the plunge and rooted my phone.
So I used the Chainfire-autoroot method as stated above, and it all worked fine.
I have some issues trying to get odin to see my phone, whihc were rectified by going to samsung for the drivers.
So for anyone who is wondering, Optus have not (at least by 27/1/15) not locked their bootloaders on the GT-I9507.
I hope that this might eventually help someone, and I'm not just talking to my self!
Awesome! I will close this thread.

I recently bought a Samsung Multi Media dock that I finally got to work reliably. I'm not impressed with the experience so I want to flash my phone over to a custom rom so I can tweak settings (and recover from it if I screw it up). I used to have a custom rom on my last phone but since I had to replace it when Cricket nuked their CDMA network I'm stuck with a stock Samsung Galaxy S4, with touchwiz- I hate touchwiz.
My brother kind of held my hand when my phone was first flashed over to CyanogenMod, a more accurate description was that he sabotaged it giving me little reason not to flash a custom image, so I'm still a bit new at this. I've gone threw the forums with the intent of reading up on weather I can and how I should go about flashing my phone. Problem is that I can't find anything that directly relates to the version of the firmware I have and I don't know if its compatible with any of the methods on the table.
I'm rightfully terrified of bricking my phone. I at least want some encouragement of reading about people with a success rate with an identical device before I go off and potentially brick my phone, if I do brick my phone I want it to be completely my fault because I plan on reading every guide and forum thread twice just to make sure I don't miss a nuance of the process.
Anyway,
i have a Galaxy S4, SGH-I337Z
Build #: KOT49H.i337zTUUBOA1
Android Ver- 4.4.2
security software ver: mdf v1.0 Rel 2
any combination of that information just points me to similar threads with no 100% (or even 50%) identical information. I've got three threads open in tabs rite now that say things about MD3 or MK2 firmware and I have no idea if I have those or not.
Anyway I'm hoping someone can find the info I'm to blind to find myself.
Thanks in advance!
Ryo

Hi, I have an SIM-unlocked & rooted AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4:
Model number SGH-I337
Android version 4.2.2
Kernel version 3.4.0-812098
Build number JKQ39.I337UCUAMF3
I'd like to flash the JFLTE-GPE 5.0.1 ROM via TWRP, but have been told that I will need to upgrade the bootloader. How can I do this, what tool should I use? I've searched the forums a lot & was excited about the CASUAL tool, till I read that it "will not work on Build Number I337UCUAMF3". Can JOdin3 be used to unlock/upgrade this bootloader? Or is Safestrap my only option for flashing a new ROM?
Please guide me or point me in the right direction. Thanks for taking time to answer my questions.

hello. I need the exact instructions that actually work to root my galaxy s5 5.0. the root methods on forums never work and I know exactly how to root the phone. but no one gives all the information on exactly how to do it. this is a replacement phone. I had the last version of Android rooted but the instructions on rooting that didn't work also and I had to use an app. I see where people have said you need Android bootloader but bootloader doesn't work through Odin. So can't actually put a custom recovery like TWRP on the phone using Odin. Is there another method that people aren't telling us that actually work or is there an app that can root. Had to use towelroot on my last phone because the rooting method never works. And I have been flashing ROMs for years on multiple phones so i know what needs to be downloaded. Just method can't work for everyone ununfortunately. If anyone has any information on how I can root my phone now that I'm on Android 5.0 would be much appreciated. Or if it's impossible to root the phone now that I'm on Android 5.0. If anyone can tell me that I would appreciate that too. Thnx

My wife has a Tab 2 / GT-5113 that need to be rooted so I can do some much needed updates. It is running version 4.2.2 and the only instructions I can find are for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 and I need to be sure I'm using the correct method for this tablet. I'm well versed on rooting HTC's since I have done a number of them, but not these so I need some directions on the Samsung side.
