I've finally decided to root my phone using the Lineage OS 14.1 ROM, but I hear that if you select the wrong device from the compatibility list that you're gonna end up with a heap of trubble. With this in mind I searched far and wide for answers to which one I need and finally ended up here, I live in South Africa and have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F and Vodacom as my* service provider but the closest options I can see is Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte), (Vodafone, kltedv) and (kltekdi), these are the only ones I believe to be relevant but I could be wrong. Links to download the correct one would be much appreciated.
Hello and welcome to Assist
The klte is the variant for your device(SM-G900F), dont flash other variants

My Samsung s6 edge has no cell service. IMEI blocked. I think what I have to do is "root", "flash" and somehow get the phone to start using the "Generic IMEI"(???)
but whatever info I will get out of this, my friend who is more cunning is going to use to help me.
It's running on the Original ROM at the moment.
Modelnumber: SM-G925F
Android-version: 5.0.2
I want to be able to use my phone again, and will take any measures.
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! Here is a good rooting guide for you: How to Root Any Device. For roms to flash, look here: Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development or Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development.
Good luck!
Hello all,
First time poster here so hoping to drop this off in the right place. I have a brand new (out of the box) Samsung Galaxy S4 which I just purchased from my Boostmobile dealer the other day. Installed the latest Cynogenmod on it only to find that LTE did not work. 3G works fine but this prompted me to look around for help. After discussing in #SGS4 on freenode, I wiped the phone and installed the latest Optimized cm 12.1 build. Again, same problem. LTE does not work and 3G does.
Model: SPH-L720
ROM: OptimizedCM-12.1-20150817
Carrier: Boost Mobile
Something tells me my problem relates to the carrier?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm assuming you didn't have this problem on stock? It could be adb issues with cm. But I'd ask your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374543. They are the experts on your device.

Hi All,
I just picked my new phone up this Saturday. A Samsung Galaxy S5 NEO.
When I got home and thought I could root it and install custom roms on it, I saw to my surprise that there weren't any....
Now I learned that this device is new, so nothing is developed yet, but also that Samsung put his own soc in it (Exynos 7580).
Is there any change there will be root for this device as well custom roms?
I hope so, because that's why I like Android phones, would be a pitty if it's not possible with this S5 NEO.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Root seems to be one of those things to hang tight with for this device. As for ROM's, it is said that Exynos is harder to design for, but so is Intel Atom (anything but qcom really), and yet I have seen Intel Atom ROM's around.
But it's hard to tell how the prospect of custom ROM's will pan out. Is the S5 Neo a popular device? Popular enough to bring in developers? That is the big question, and will determine whether custom ROM's will happen or not.
At any rate, please create an account so you can post in other forums. From there, check out this thread, and put in your thoughts:

I would like to flash a stock ROM SM-G935s to my Korean S7 Edge. Is this possible? If its not, is there a way that I can do the following:
1. Uninstall provider (SK-Telecom)
2. Add additional LTE bands (B7, B41) to make it compatible with my local carrier (Philippines).
TIA.
