Hello, I'm in China, Beijing with my girlfriend and her mother bought her this lovely Samungs 4 chinaunicom phone. It doesn't come with any google services, and my girlfriend really wishes to use these google services. She wants to root it, but I don't know much about this topic. I was wondering if someone can write a detailed guide or point me in the right direction. I see so many guides for different androids. I was just hoping to know what to do for this model.
Thank you so much everyone!

Hi,I have uploaded some files that wil be used to root the I9502 and flash the recovery.
First, put zip file UPADTE-SuperSU-V1.30.zip and the google apps in your sd card. Reboot your phone to the Download mode.
Extract the two zip files: i9502-csc-root.tar.zip and i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.zip
Then connect your S4 to pc,and open odin. You should choose CSC for i9502-csc-root.tar.md5 ,pda for i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5. Start to flash them.
After that,reboot your S4 to CWM. WIPE the data and cache before install UPADTE-SuperSU-V1.30.zip .
At last install your google apps. OK, that's all. Enjoy it.

I have not rooted prior to 6.2.1 but really want the android market so now I must root. I have a few questions;
I keep seeing something about having to download root explorer from the amazon market to use the new method, would es file explorer work?
Sorry if I'm way off base on any or all of this, I've never rooted anything
I'm tech savvy so i could do it if i had a definitive list of all the progams needed and preferably a video tut of the process. Im seeing a few different ways so im confused as to which way i need to do it. Could someone please point me in the right direction ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
You seem to have the ability to read and write the English language why don't you go over to the thread where this is being discussed and read the information that is offered and make a decision.

Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Soo.. google is retarted in the whole country specific apps situation. I am dual citizen currently in the states for a long time and Capital One Canada just came out with a mobile android app!! Can somebody please install and use apk extractor to get APK then email to me? Thanks will be givin I have tried soo many ways to get this app... if there is any US apps you want id be happy to do the same!
Thanks awsome xda peoples!
didnt post contact info
not sure if i should be posting email on here... so if you down to help just reply and well figure it out! Is there a PM system in XDA?
Use a VPN ?
I'll do that for you. I'll post the link in this post. hold on.
Here you Go!
Link to C.O
Thank you!!! Now that i have installed it, even if i reinstall phone i can install the app and i can get future updates, its weird how they have it set up but if you successfully install out of market app then you can download it straight from GP in the future! If you ever need an american app let me know I should have tried xda first went to soo many shady websites trying to find apk and my phone says it cant use vpn for some reason maybe because i have such a debloated ROM.
Hey man, canadians look out for each other!
But now that you mention it, id like for you to tell me if you know where to get a gt-i9505g logic board. Owning an i337 is killing me slowly!!
hi guys,
just got today an S5 and quite happy with it so far.
I would like to do few things on it, hope you can suggest me the best way:
- get root (Lollipop 5.0, possibly keeping Knox unaltered)
- remove bloatware (especially my magazine)
- make it sim free, I belive is locked to the operator, got it on contract
can you please recommend what's best for doing those 3 things?
thanks a lot,
Gabrio
how about you read the forum, jesus christ it's right there in front of you.
hello Lingo, thanks for your reply
that is what i have been doing for the past 2-3 hours and because i know it's sometimes confusing, i was asking in advance. May i ask you to not swear with the name of our Lord? it's not pleasing to him and there's no need doing it. thank you

If you really had been looking for the last 2 hours, my dear sir, surely you would have noticed the stickied threads which answer all of your questions. One particular thread will even tell you that these kind of posts don't belong here in "General". Good day to you.
here's a few useful threads to get you started:
General advice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700073
How to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
If you just want to remove bloat from your current rom, I'd recommend smart debloater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-smart-debloater-t2802034
But if you want a new/customisable rom check out Phoenix rom where you can pick and choose what you flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302
To make it sim-free, you'll need to get an unlock code either from your network or maybe off somewhere like ebay.
Hope that helps

thanks so much those are really helpful... if you could help me with one more thing which I found and is really off (again on this model)....I would love to edit the SMS_Candy.apk and disable SMS to MMS conversion after 480 chars or tricky it, I remember on my sgs2 I did a mod and basically increased that to "after 99 SMS convert to MMS" which did the trick nicely. I had a look at the files and it seems more complicated on Lollipop 5.0? do you know by chance? thanks a lot!
TBH, most custom roms will have that mod already included, I think phoenix rom has it

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot
now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

I wasn't asking for him to send me a private message or anything. I just wanted to know if he got it fixed or not before I spent my time writing all the steps out. I didn't feel the need to write out a really long response if he already got his phone fixed. He was the only other person that had the same problem as me. I'll gladly right out all the steps once I get home and get the time.

I think you're missing my point and the purpose of XDA. He's the only one that responded, but they could be 5 more. Your fix may help someone else tomorrow or a month from now. It will be nice in the spirit of sharing (XDA) once you find a fix to post it in case someone else needs it. I personally benefited from the one below and I was about to post it as possible fix.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know
Hi my name is murdoc, you guys can call me doc.
First i would like to say i appreciate anyone taking the time to read this thread and thank all who choose to participate.
I have been reading for about 12 hours on what it is to root you phone. I am still unsure what to do.
I have been trying to get all the necessary files to root my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge, SM-G935V, Android 7.
I have hit some road blocks and still dont have everything i need. Can someone point me in the right direction via link?
At this impasse i thought it may be easier to downgrade to android 6 and use that particular rooting procedure.
Is there any validity to my assertion? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
Again thank you for your time.
