Confused about rooting my i9505 MDM

Hey guys, I've been looking into rooting my s4, i9505 version running MDM firmware. the cf-auto root doesn't work with MDM (according to that thread) and all the other root solutions seem to be for i9500.
So, is anyone running i9505 MDM firmware rooted? can you pls link me to a working solution to root my s4?
Thanks.

Search pleas

First I link you to xda rules ok.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xda+rules

I have searched. and I explained what I've found. I also asked a specific question about rooting my phone, the specific phone I have (MDM i9505). I haven't found any solutions so far. I have been checking the forums on a daily basis more than once in recent days. you two above this post could not be less helpful. You tell me to search, when I have. If there is a root for my phone, why didn't you point me in the right direction? or is it easier to make fun of people when you don't have an answer? thanks for nothing.

Im on MDM and rooted.

ok, thanks m.nassy.uk
@muhamet, I have a question, those are rooted roms, not just rooted kernel. I have seen those. Will that mean I will loose all my apps etc? thanks both.
edit: one more question. do I have to root to install custom roms in the future? The only reason I am looking to root is to be able to install roms when I decide which one I want to run. Or do roms come with rooted kernels and all I have to do is flash them via recovery? thanks.

Actually - the guy has a very legit question so before you flame him !
I have been in these forums for years and i can honestly say this S4 thread is one of the most mixed up in here !
These rooting questions NEED TO BE MUCH CLEARER, Especially for lots of new people coming in.
Dedicated Thread only for Root I9505 And which root method works - you look around and its in original dev and Android Dev.
Same for I9500 !
Then there is stock / hybrid / custom roms, Pre rooted so no wonder these questions get asked !
Root should only be in one Forum thread for each device and not mixed !
Now im fortunate enough to know what im doing ! but there is going to be so many repeat questions asked in here that its asking for trouble and bricked devices.
It really does need cleaning up.
thx

@m.nassy.uk thanks mate, that worked, I am now indeed rooted and have recovery, ready for the roms! And I do apologize for asking what might sound like a very basic question to some of you. I hope this thread will help others, some less experienced android users. The s4 is only my 2nd ever android phone (s2 was the first) and I'm not as knowledgeable as some of you on here. Thanks again.

No problem

Completely agree as a s2 root newbie I've started to learn the ropes a bit more running custom roms on the s3 for the past year or so. The issue of two different phone models in the same area is bound to cause confusion. I have to check twice, I've loaded up the i9500 development section before not paying attention thinking it was i9505 lol.

thing is, I used ODIN to root my s2 and put recovery on it some 2 years ago, after that it was a case of downloading .zip files (roms) and flashing them via recovery so I have forgotten quite a few things about rooting etc since 2011. but hey, I'm ready now... waiting for a nice rom to come.

I jumped in and got a contract straight away on the s4 from the s3. I don't mind. I got a good deal. But in hindsight I'm going to wait a good few months for any others devices. I'll see this out on its 24 month contract by then god knows what will be out there. Hopefully some custom kernels with voltage control will be released too. Finding crackling through headphones atm.

Ok, so after rooting, recovery doesn't load anymore. Phone just boots normally. Any ideas?

[Q] S4 Google Edition

Anybody with the official Samsung S4 Google edition root or install a custom recovery like TWRP on their device yet? I am getting mine next week and I have not seen any forums for this phone. I am on AT&T but I am thinking T-Mobile TWRP would work once it is rooted since it is unlocked boot loader?
Not sure if anybody got their phone in yet??
Thanks in advance.

But, we do have a thread, in this same forum, and we have discussed this exact thing there, please use the google thread to get answers to these questions that involve the GE rom, I stay active in that thread daily, as do others.
and xBeerdroiDx, thanks, I get 8 thanks to use a day, and you got 3 today from me. No more for you!

I will ask the question in that thread..thanks for pointing it out. Reason I didn't ask in that thread in first place is because it relates to the GE leaked rom on AT&T/CAN S4. My question is related to the actual phone from google that ships from them. I am thinking everything should be same as the TMO version as far as partitions and root methods. I will ask in that thread.
Thanks

Hello i hope im doing this correctly im new and if im in wrong let me know thanks! 1st i have sprint galaxy s5 sport. Ive got it rooted with cf root for sm-g860p. My build ending number is ng3 i really only want it rooted to unlock my hotspot but cant find a sutable way of doing it if any knowns plz help.

One click HOTSPOT
Below is a link to an app that will unlock the hotspot with the stock ROM - I haven't been able to find a custom ROM or recovery for the gs5 sport (sm-860p) mostly because I don't think many devs have one yet - i've been talking to the dev of this app and they are really helpful!

I'm looking at getting the sport, were you able to use the same firmware as the normal s5 when rooting?

Just Getting Started Out!

I have a TMO Galaxy Note 3, Rooted with CF Using TWRP running Version 5.0. Im looking to installing a custom Rom but just kinda overwhelmed with bootloaders on or off ,Kernals and so on. I was just wondering if someone could give me some advice to a Rom that would be a little less complicated until i figure everything else out. Thanks~!

Just head over to android development section and download any rom of your choice. You mentioned your phone is 5.0/lollipop so no need to think about bootloader. While kernel is already in the rom so you're good to go. Just follow instructions in the thread to the letters. Read a few pages of the thread so you could get some info on whether you t-mo is supported or not or for any other issues may have related to the rom.

I would recommend Darklord Note 5 Rom, there is an update coming in the next day or two and I would download that update. It is fast and has a pretty good battery life for me. Plus it doesn't have all the random mods that other developers put on their roms. So you can just put the mods that you need yourself.
P.S. Make a backup of everything incase you need to revert back for any reason. Also, there is no way as of now to have NFC working on a custom rom for Note 3 TMO/ canada.

for me try arya mod or the darklord n5 rom
