Hello
I would ask you if it's possible to root this device right now.
It runs with Gingerbread and this OS is rootable.
Thanks for your help.

Does it work? Don't like the idea to try it first.

Hey guys! I have a galaxy s4 I337M and I want to know if I can install any latest I9505 firmware specially XXUBMEA and if you can guide me trough the process because I am starting in this stuff. I am coming from IOS.
I have been reading trough the forum but I am confused cause some people say YES and sometimes people say NO. Well at least that´s what i´ve found.
Please, help me!
Most of the roms in i9505 are what you are looking for...start here...

You better read the noob guide and understand everything before you start.

Hi guys,
Please excuse my ignorance and thanks for taking the time helping noobs like myself.
So im looking at rooting my S5 to enable me to delete the bloatware and tidy it up a little while not flashing a custom rom but have a few questions. I'm sure they've all been answered but like most things online, the more questions i find answers to, the more seem to pop up.
So firstly I've got a G900F running lollipop. As im only looking to gain root access and not install a custom ROM do i need to downgrade to KK. If this is the case can i pick any date version of the sammobile site, or should i just choose the most recent.
Secondly to root the phone should i just follow the instructions on the link below.

They're not crystal clear to me so are there any all out noob guides out there?
Will doing either of these also wipe my phone and regardless should i back it up and if so using what?
Oh but that link i posted doesnt work so....

That one however does!
Hello all, flashed v28 of Omega rom (4.4.2) way back to my t-mobile galaxy s4 (sgh-m919? Device model shows i9505 but device name is still sgh-m919 and I bought it from t-mobile). In the past I've done this a few times, usually from stock phones, but it has been a while since I've done this and I've never made a major upgrade to a newer ROM. Im a bit hesitant to do this on my own without first posting as I hardly remember what I flashed to my S4 the first time around other than the Omega ROM, and I haven't been keeping up with S4 development at all since then, so I'm unsure of whether or not I can simply wipe and install v41 of Omega (current ROM has started being wonky, various things becoming unstable, cannot connect to camera, etc). I was reading the thread and there was enough talk of kernels, custom boot loaders, and other things that I just felt confused and decided to seek the wisdom of the forum before proceeding. But, I am correct in assuming that this ROM which carries i9505 in the title thread can be flashed to my device yes? If I recall correctly that is what I did before.
If anyone can advise me, caution me, or otherwise inform me, that would be very, very helpful,
Thanks.
First thing which you need to do is move this post to the general section

Ah, you're right. Had the wrong browser window open. If a moderator kindly would?
I already reported the thread, so the mods will see it, evaluate things, then move the thread to its proper location. Moderators are unlikely to see requests to move the thread nor comments from others that the thread needs to be moved. Report the post rather than wasting time posting about it.
Thanks for the explanation and thanks to the mods for the move, its obvious I don't post on this forum much.
Back to the topic at hand, anyone care to comment? Anything I need to do?
Specific help for your T-mobile device can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile as this is the international S4 forum. In general, you should be able to use any ROM from this forum, provided it does not flash a bootloader or modem. Most don't. The only wrinkle I can think of is that if a ROM uses a custom kernel, your device may reject that kernel. Thus you should look at the link I provided and see if there is a custom kernel for your S4 that you can flash after flashing the ROM.
Needless to say, make sure you do a factory reset in recovery to wipe out any lingering problems Omega ROM may have caused.
I may have flashed a modem previously when I originally flashed Omega ROM. If so, will this cause a problem? I'll take a look at the other forum, thanks.
Is it rootable yet? If so what's the process please and ty
Two things, you have posted in the wrong section, and second thing if you are bothered looking through the forum you will find hundreds of ways to rooting your device generically...
