[Q] [SGH-i337m (canada - telus)] Which root guide should I follow? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've only found rooting guides for the i9500 and 9505, and hardly any mention of the Canadian SGH-i337m version.
Also, there seems to be 4 distinct GS4 sub-forums (US carriers and international). I am confused about which guides/software/literature pertains to my device; can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you.

What is Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4?

Hey I'm new to this site so sorry if this is the wrong place to post or if it had been answered before!
What does it mean when people refer to the S4 as the Samsung I9500? I have the US Cellular SCH-R970 and I would like to root it and install a more stock android like rom on it and I've been trying to do some research but I keep getting hung up because I don't see my model listed very much. I do how ever see everyone throwing out Samsung I9500 though. Can someone explain this and possibly point me in the right direction?
i9500 is the international exynos version i think.
i9505 is the international snapdragon 600 version.
i9506 is the international snapdragon 800 version.
there are also other models. you can find a lot more info on gsmarena.com

Thanks for getting back to me. That makes sense. So do you know if the US Cellular version of the S4 is limited in roms I can put on it? Like I said, I haven't really seen much on my version.
Well it depends very much on the number of devices sold.
depending on what you want - if you like a specific custom rom - you should search for it on the forums or strait through google. It is very easy to search for something like: SCH-R970 cyanogenmod 11 xda -> resulting in some useful threads.
good luck! and good flashing!

[Q] Foxhound on CAD Note 3

Hey all I was wondering how I would go about installing foxhound on my note 3. There are lots of tutorials out there but seemingly not pertaining to the canadian version of the phone. I am a complete noob so please be gentle with your insults.
Read the guide that is linked in my sig. It is specifically for the Canadian and tmo variants.

Rooting AT&T S5?

So I just got my S5 from AT&T and I would like to root it. I've seen maybe two or three methods that either used towelroot or odin? I was just hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction towards a root that wont brick my phone. Post a link to the guide?
Just FYI, there is a specific forum for AT&T S5.

You own a Frankestein. Install this APP and add some screenshots.
@androidfine16: Without seeing your information from Phone Info, I can virtually guarantee that your only means of upgrading will be to install AT&T firmware, which will not lead to a good experience unless you're not planning on rooting the phone. AT&T locks its bootloader, making rooting virtually impossible.
If you just got this device, run, don't walk to where you got it from and return it.

Hey mate, your device model indicates its a verizon one. This forum is for international exynos variant. Always search for your correct forums before posting. Ask it here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/help
Even this sub forum is for guides etc, not for help. Please post in relevant forums and subforums to get applicable solutions. And be sure to read the rules if you are a new user
As for your question, search or post on your relevant forum, your model has snapdragon processor and it has a locked bootloader. There was a method to root snapdragon variants using engineering kernel etc but I am not updated with the latest development on snapdragon variants. Search on your relevant forum for more info. Good luck
