I see there is a root out there already but it seems to be the international and not Asia.
Does anyone know an Asia SM-G900I Root available.
Thanks in advance.
hi dude i have this model as well and have spoken to chainfire and he is waiting for the stock firmwares to be released to create the root for our model,
hopefully will have to be soon, i havnt found one anywhere else for now

Flash CWM.
Once done, do a backup and try CF Root for another model of s5. If it works, report this useful anwser. If it doesn't works, say it and restore your backup.
Can you inbox me Chainfire details, i might be able to give him a stock rom.
cheers

i can also say that ive successfully rooted my SM-G900I Galaxy S5 with the SM-G900F method no problems at all!
Hey guys so does this mean we could possibly flash a SM-G900f firmware on the the SM-G900i phones?

Ooh great news!
If u flashed g900f u will have a different modem so prob best not to
Sent from my SM-G900I using xda app-developers app
I don't wanna risk it, gonna wait for an official 900I root release. Cant wait xD
Root works for the 900i atm just use the 900f cf-root method if you dont care about knox.
Is there a way that I can possibly upload the 900i firmware to flash back to if something goes wrong?

Is there a version of CMW for G900I version. I found it one for H but it warns not to use on other variants.
Thanks

I don't kwow but you can do a backup of your recovery using DD in ADB shell and try to flash CWM for another model of s5. If it doesn't works, restore the img file using DD in ADB shell
Thanks.
Could you explain how to DD backup as ive never done that way before,
thanks

You must connect your phone in ADB and enter this command :
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096"
I don't kwow if the recovery partition is right mmcblk0p10 for your phone. The SG-900H recovery partition is mmcblk0p10 and for SM-G900F it's mmcblk0p16.
Try to backup the two partition with the commands :
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery-h.img bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/recovery-f.img bs=4096"
Look at the recovery.img size. A recovery image amount of size is 10 mb.
I think this command may be universal but i not tested it :
adb shell su -c dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Hope this helps
Thanks for all your help just anohter question.
My phone is 100% new without any root etc so how do i get su?
Should i be doing this in normal op mode on the phone as when i try recovery mode it wont install drivers or find the phone,
when u use in normal mode i get this.

I'm looking for some instructions on how to make a complete backup/dump of my current Stock Recovery.
I'm running djembey's pre-rooted ROM on an i9505 and everything works fine. Looking to flash a Custom Recovery to continue fiddling around with my device, but I would like to backup my Stock Recovery before proceeding, yes I am aware that there are Stock Recovery images floating around but this is for my own knowledge/reference. Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction!
Cheers.

If anyone wanted to double check, I believe:

confirms that the recovery block is indeed mmcblk0p21.

Hi, Ben Ling...
Using Android Terminal Emulator to flash a Custom Recovery is syntactically complicated, and is prone to typographical errors. You have to type in a long, complicated and potentially error prone command line argument.
First off, you already need to be rooted. If you aren't, then forget it... it simply won't work.
Anyway... here is the command line...
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery-image-file.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
Whilst this does work, I think it's significantly easier to just use something like Flash Image GUI or Flashify to flash a Custom Recovery directly from the Nexus 7.
I haven't used the <dd, if, of> syntax via Terminal Emulator for ages... preferring instead to just use Flashify to flash the latest version of TWRP (or for that matter, CWM) on my Nexus 7.
You will of course, already need to be rooted first, as both Flash Image GUI or Flashify, request SU access on first use.
So... if you're looking to flash a Custom Recovery in order to acquire root in the first place... you'll need to do it the old fashioned way first... ie., fastboot flash recovery recovery.img... and then using that Custom Recovery, flash Chainfire's v1.75 SuperSU root .zip..
All of these methods... Using Terminal Emulator, Flash Image GUI or Flashify to install a Custom Recovery, are only useful if you're seeking to UPGRADE to the latest version of TWRP/CWM... as they all assume you're ALREADY have root - and won't work if you aren't.
Hope this helps.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I've used the flash_image command myself, on my Advent Vega. But it's a stand alone binary/executable... and on my KitKat Nexus 7, TE reports it as 'not found'... and I have busybox installed.
Here is my Nexus 7 TE output... both without and with root...

/system/bin/sh: flash_image: not found
127|[email protected]:/ $ su

It would be useful, though, to have flash_image installed. Kind of puzzled why busybox doesn't have it.

You should flash back to stock. It took me about an hour and that was 're rooting. I googled how to unroot LG g2 att version and there's a video that will walk you right through it. I watched it about 5 times and it was real simple. The hardest part is downloading the 2 gb file. I am not a noob nor an expert but it was real easy. I didn't want to wait any longer to flash

Never accept an OTA with Custom Recovery.
You need to wipe everything and then flash a kdz.

if you have not already flashed back to stock and have adb access you can try the following command-
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Those commands are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 and what they do is they remove the ota so that it's like you didn't take it before and may let you boot into os without having to flash back to stock, but if it doesn't work then your only other choice is flash back to stock

What is your model?
For ze500kl. Root and usb debugging.
Commands:
adb shell
su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 > /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Recovery img will be saved in the internal storage.
This way you can back up all partitions to file img.
Then can using fastboot mode to restore partition.
Command from fastboot mode:
fastboot flash partition file.img
For example:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Partition recovery will be overwrite file recovery.img.
Partition names are in the folder
/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name

Yes, this need root. When installing su, just boot twrp, don't flash them.
You can use that "temporary" twrp to flash su, and stock recovery still intact.
