Help!? Galaxy S4 Custom ROM?

Hey guys, sorry if I sound like a total noob right here. So basically I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) running 4.4.2. (KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5) I was wondering if there was a way to root/install a custom recovery so that I could install a custom rom? I'm so sick of TouchWiz and Samsung's bloatware installed on the device. It's been lagging and glitching a LOT lately. Sorry for sounding very nebbish right now.
Anyways, please let me know what is possible.

Your bootloader is locked because of that you cant use cf-autoroot. Maybe towelroot will do it... Next time use Google, this link was on the first side...

[Q] is my galaxy s4 i9505 or SGH-i337?

My brother gave me his old Galaxy S4. Its running on 4.4.2 kitkat. What i noticed is it days at the back that it is i9505 but on about device on settings and on imei check it says that it is an at&t galaxy s4 sgh-i337. Can i flash i9505 custom roms or stock roms(through odin)
Boot into download mode and look at the model number.
Also boot into recovery and look at the recovery version.
These two items will help you confirm if it is an i337.
If it is an i337, you can't flash custom ROMs unless they are based on touch wiz and you use safestrap.

You can flash a stock LP ROM from sammobile.com via Odin: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/
It says on back that it is a i9505 device but on odin mode and when i check online, it says that it is a SGH-i337 device
Boot the phone into recovery. What does it say on the second line of the recovery screen?

LRX22C.I337UCUG0C3 is written
Your phone looks to be an att sgh-i337, not an i9505 because the baseband, recovery, and download mode indicate the motherboard is an i337.
OC3 is an i337: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
The imei from the ROM (*#06#) is different than the imei on the back of the phone?

baseband version: I9506XXUDOL1

sorry if this was asked before, but i cant seem to find any rooting method specifically for this phone.
Thank you so much in advance!
use cf autoroot from chainfire site, it has version for i9506
I've seen those. but would it work on my phone?
because the one in the website has a different build ID. (LRX22C.I9506XXUDOA6)
mine is "LRX22C.I9506UDOL1"
Yes, will work without any issue
I'll give it a try.. thank you
hopefully it wont get bricked.
try using kingroot or kingoroot apps.
it worked for my GT9505.​

Worst case is you try to flash it and it fails. Not a huge deal.

Or you could flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then root from there by flashing the superusersu.zip

T-Mobile GSM Unlock for Galaxy Tab A (SM-T357T)

Hi, I have Galaxy Tab A tablet locked with t-mobile.
1. Is there a way to unlock it without root?
2. If it only can be unlocked with root then what is the simplest way to root?
3. What unlock way is the best?
Details:
Android: 5.0.2
Kernel: 3.10.49-5379129
Thank you in advance
Hi,
You can also use a third party unlocking service for this, which will change the status of your tablet in T-Mobile's database.

Hi there,
See if any of these instructions work for your phoneMod Edit
First post in a forum ever...
Funny thing is that i just rooted my Tab A (T357T) from scratch not knowing a hing about rooting.
Pretty sure that you can not unlock without root; I did a lot of research on this.
That being said, I installed a custom recovery (TWRP v2.8.7) via Odin v3.12.3 (link can be found elsewhere on this website) first in order to flash Super SU and thereby root my Tab A. Upon exit from the recovery booter, TWRP should ask if you wish to root; program will then take care of it for you. You will only need to verify and handshake on the system side via the Super SU app found in the play store. ROOT AWAY...
Root isnt unlock.
