i have been at this 3 hours now and i have now idea what to do.
im trying to root my SGS4, i find solutions but then it says something like "you cant use this method unless your device is carrier unlocked".
Model number: GT-I9505
Android 4.2.2
baseband ver: I9505DVUAMD8
Kernel 3.4.0-431985
build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDE

why are there so many build number versions? can i just use any rooting method if it doesnt specifically say my build number? why is it so difficult to root! i dont care about the answers i just want a method that wont brick my phone T_T
does anyone know what could work????

Please take your concerns to the SGS4 Forum (search for s 4, with a space in between). You have the regular s4, so you're gonna find a thread there with info you need.
now let us enjoy our s4 active forum, or go get yourself an s4 Active and maybe you'll understand.
- Good Day Sir!
haha... yay we have our own forum now .
Somebody did not take that left turn at Alberqurque!
There are many carriers and models of the S4. make sure you are in the correct forum to avoid creating a $700 paperweight

Ok, im sure the title caught your attention. Im currently deployed in Afghanistan, and im weeks from coming back to the states. I bought a galaxy S4 from the bazaar here on my fob. After a couple days I rooted it with Odin and the MD5 root file was CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5.
Ive been having trouble with the phone, ect. Widgets not working, wifi is sketchy, programs not loading correctly. I either figure its because of the software I put on it, or because I bought it here in Afghanistan. Im hoping that its the software and I didn't just blow some cash. Ive been searching the forums for a couple days now on this site as well as others, trying to download stock firmware for this phone, but im not exactly sure which to download. My intentions for this phone is to bring it back to the states and put my ATT Sim card into it. I could really use some help and it would be greatly appreciated. Heres all the phone information I feel could be needed.

There is nothing to see, it's as if the GT 19507 exists only in Australia, owing to the different iterations of 4G.
I guess no-one is going to take the risk and use another 4G ROM, or root.

Firstly it's I9507 not 19507
Pretty much the same issues here as the other folks.
only a different number on the kernel. The I9507 only exists in Australia & Hong Kong
more commonly registered as Samsung Galaxy S4 TD-LTE (According to the Samsung website)
Like others I've been told 'Use the 19505 software you'll be fine'.
I have however managed to get my hands on the I9507 firmware through http://www.sammobile.com/

Unlocking the bootloader
Hello,
I know this thread is a little old now but seems to be a good place to ask, so I hope some one sees this and can help!
I really really want to root my GT-I9507, asap, have been looking through this site alot recently and the simplest (for a noob) way seems to be 'CF-Auto-Root'.
The problem I am having and not being able to solve is how do I unlock the bootloader?
As chainfire says it can brick my phone if locked and it would appear that it almost certainly is, but I cant find a way to unlock the GT-I9507, only for AT&T and Verizon (American not Australian). I can see that some people must have as they have used the 'CF-Auto-Root' method.
Any ideas, or if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Katoiam

I managed to root it mate, flashed latest optus 4.4.2, then flashed Philz recovery, then flashed CF autoroot ( the new version dedicated specifically for i9507 which you may find on cf autoroot website
. )
Use This CF AutoRoot; ( This one is for Android 4.4.2 )
http://download.chainfire.eu/503/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jftdd-jftddzh-gti9507.zip
Check all versions here;
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
If you want custom recovery, use PhilZ ( The same as for I9505 ).
Good Luck.
This may be a stupid thing to say, but I am very worried about bricking my phone, so how come it doesn't brick the phone if chainfire says you have to have a unlocked bootloader?

The steps I wrote above were the ones I followed, I haven't touched the bootloader, only upgraded to stock 4.4.2 then rooted it and flashed PhilZ recovery.
I have just made the plunge and rooted my phone.
So I used the Chainfire-autoroot method as stated above, but didn't flash either the stock rom (as I already had 4.4.2, nor the recovery (as it was saying it needed to be rooted before it would work!)) and it all worked fine.
I have some issues trying to get odin to see my phone, which were rectified by going to samsung for the drivers.
So for anyone who is wondering, Optus have not (at least by 27/1/15) not locked their bootloaders on the GT-I9507.
I hope that this might eventually help someone, and I'm not just talking to my self!
Hey guys Im new to this Galaxy S5 flashing and Im trying to figure out something. I notice alot of the roms say that it will only run on the 900F S5 model but I flashed alot of those roms on my device and it worked just fine on my 900M, So why do some people say it will not work on the 900M or I need to use thr KTooozes kernel in order for it to work? Can someone fill me in on this? Thank you

Both are GSM, but the F variant is the International version, where the M is mostly for the Americas. Otherwise, your device is mostly the same.

So I guess that would explain why I dont have any issues when flashing the F roms on my device. I guess the only thing that will really differ is the modem and bootloader.

Hello everyone! im sure this post has been covered but I having trouble navigating around and finding the info I need. I would like to start by saying 6 years ago I owned an htc hero that I rooted and installed cyanogenmod on using xda developers. everyone on here was extremely knowledgeable and helpful so this is where I am returning to first with my questions and issues. here is my story.\
we ordered and purchased my mother a galaxy s4 online. it came from Germany. We received it already unlocked, rooted, and custom software installed
its one thing for me to start with a stock phone and do it all myself, but im not sure how to take this already modified phone and turn it into cyanogenmod or back to stock (without losing root).
here is the phones current info

I am very very outdated on my terms and what this all means but very much willing to learn!! im exited to start modifying her phone and making it better as it is ALWAYS dying and im not sure why the company we bought it from modded it in the first place. I would like info on what was done to this (if anyone knows) and how I can either get it wiped clean (so they have no access to the custom stuff they put on it) and how I can install either cyanogenmod or another up to date custom rom, OR how I can restore it to factory rom that way I can do updates to newer android WITHOUT LOSING ROOT (if this is possible) all recommendations links and info is appreciated! I used to be apart of the xda community and have been out of the loop for a few years and would love to start learning again. my biggest fear is bricking or ruining my moms phone. she needs it for use everyday and I cant do anything that will ruin her phone (although I know all this comes with risk I trust the knowledge of most of the experienced users on here). her phone is an unlocked gsm phone as it is hooked up to a bring your own ATT phone Straight talk line.
