[Q] Root with different bootloader

Hello XDA!
I just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4 VE with buildnumber KOT49H.I9515XXUIANK2 and I wanted to root it. After looking I found Chainfire's AutoRoot, but that is made for buildnumber KOT49H.I9515XXU1ANI3. Can ik still root my device with that or am I stuck with Samsung's crapware?

Don't look at the build numbers, it doesn't matter. Just flash it.

First of all, thanks for the reactions! Now I ran into a different problem: I can't boot into Download Mode or Recovery Mode. No matter how hard I try, I've pressed every possible button but nothing worked. Tried On/off+Home+Volume down and On/off+Home+Volume. Please help me!

Edit: never mind, I just had to remove the accu ^_^

Lollipop update on Galaxy GT-i9515

Hi everybody,
I need help with my rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition (gt-i9515, running 4.4.2). I'd like to update it to lollipop and I can't find any specific tutorial for the i9515, which for some reasons seems to be different from the basic i9505 version. I'm running the official rom, since there isn't any support for custom roms on the i9515.
Somebody help me please

Official Update
Hello, no need to do anything guys,
just go to Settings / Check for Updates, it will automatically download the official Samsung Update to lollipop 501

Thank you for your answer, but I had already tried the official way before posting and it didn't work because the phone is rooted

Download the ROM from sammobile and flash it with Odin. You will need to re root and please bear in mind that xposed currently does not work on Samsung Lolipop ROMs

Thank you very much, I'll try that!! :good:

I just realized that the GT-9515 is not even mentioned between the s4 models, hence there's no firmware available to download. How do I solve this now?

Forgot to root... galaxy s5

Hello,
So as you just read, i tried to install the original firmware on a galaxy s5 with cyanogenmod.
I downloaded the original firmware (G900F VFG) via sammobile, but i forgot to root the phone again... I get an write error (ext4).
What do i do now!?
I cant find much on the internet, because search terms like root and galaxy s5 are too much.
Kind regards,
Jeroen

You can't install a firmware with a custom recovery....The only thing that will install a firmware is Odin.
What OS is on your device right now?
