I purchased the I9500 from eXpansys and received the following:
Model #: GT-I9500
Baseband: I9500 UNUAMDK
Kernel Version: 3.4.5_534999 Wed Apr 24
Build number: JDQ39.I9500UBUAMDK
I am using the phone on Fido in Canada.
What rooting method will work for me based on the above info?
Thanks,
akey
flash this: kernel. Or this stock kernel
and you got full root.

The first one won't give you root. It's a rootable kernel. Not a rooted kernel.

Hello members. just got my s4 today, had a read through the posts, was wondering whats the best way to root my device which would also give me cwm recovery as well?
My about details follow:
Android 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUBMF8
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-917495 [email protected] #1 Wed June 19 20:07:29 KST 2013
Build: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMF8
SELinux: Permissive
Secure Boot Status: Type: Samsung
Would i need to root 1st then flash recovery, or can it be done with just flashing cwm which would give me root?
I am planning to stay stock for now with cwm, and ideally do not want to have a insecure kernal/yellow triangle. Can someone guide me please, btw i dont have knox on my device if that helps.
I've come from a s2 which had cwm recovery and was very confident using that, have not used odin before.
Thanks

You can use CF-Auto Root from chainfire then just flash CWM (do a search for the links man).
There are multiple posts on cf-root and cwm, can someone direct me to the right ones i will need please, in relation to my current firmware. Thanks

ok i have never had this much trouble finding a root for a device before, but i guess theres a first time for everything. the only roots i can find is either vroot or kingo which, as my research tells me, is highly unsafe. so if someone could direct me in the right direction that would be awesome. my device info is as follows.

Give it a good read over and try it out if you want...it might help.

That thread is for an older firmware and no longer works on MF3 or MK2.
I used klingo root on mk2 there is also the safe root method that works
Saferoot has been used by a lot of folks as mentioned. But, you guys need to get heavy into the SafeStrap threads. All info is there--
I'm having trouble finding the right root to use for my specific build and software, as well as which ROMs would work. The trouble is this odd BUO part of the software version, which I'm not finding any other mentions of here or elsewhere. So, if someone could point me in the right direction for the root and recommend a ROM I'd be really grateful. Thanks.
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build #: KOT491.D80220b
Software version: D80220b-BUO-xx
There is no root for 4.4.2 yet, only some workarounds involving going back to 4.2.2
You could flash back to 4.2.2 then re-flash with this method for 4.4.2 & root, Its fantastic!

Cool I checked it out, 1 question though. Is this safe even though my device wasn't rooted with ioroot? Cheers
If it's not rooted at all then it will not work.
If it's rooted then it will work.

Take safestrap off and use cwm or twrp. With cwm or twrp you can flash any rom you want.

If you have a Canadian phone it will be i337m, if it is a US phone it is i337. Looking at your build and base band it looks like an i337. You want to make sure your using the right procedure and rom for your phone, they are not interchangable between i337 and i337m.
