Hello! Pretty new in XDA forum and I have a couple of questions and concerns. I was browsing through some threads and I was wondering if I could get some opinion/help from other members.
I have a second phone that I want to mod and I need some help.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (ROOTED)
Model#: SGH-M919
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: M919UVUFNK2
It's an old phone and lately, it's been running really slow and if possible, I'd like to make it run as if it was brand new or at least somewhat close. So the question is, are there any recommended stable roms/mods I could use and if there are/is, will I be able to use it with my rooted phone or do I have to completely factory reset it before I apply the mods/roms?
Thank you!

You are in the wrong section. You have a t-mobile variant.

Hi guys!
So, I plan to get a brand - new Galaxy S i9000, after years of being a WinMob HTC user. Right now I'm just prospecting around and it's pretty unclear for me where to start reading about the root process the Galaxy S needs to receive. So I decided to call for help, if anyone would care to point me in the right direction with any link(s). Just keep in mind I'm not very familiar with the Android and I'll have a not rooted, unlocked Galaxy S to "play" with (and hopefully not to brick).
Thanks in advance!
Read darkstriders sticky. Download odin. Then read some more. You'll need to flash a custom kernel (cfroot) for whichever firmware your phone is currently running. Then you'll be good to go. Steer clear of anything alpha or beta til you've a bit of experience and know how to fix a soft bricked phone.
Hello, my name is Henry. I had just recently came into a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500. The person who had it before me thought they would be smart and put a custom rom and all on it. Well, somewhere along the line, he ended up putting some Chinese crap on it, and it's starting to give me problems with carrier connectivity and whatnot. I would like to know if there was an "easy" way or "step-by-step" tutorial to get it back on the stock unlocked firmware and rom. Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated.

Hello XDA forum members,
I have searched these forums for the last few days so hopefully I am not wasting anyone's time and this question has not been asked. Is there a way to put CM on the S4 variant below? I have attempted to use CM installer with no success because the device is not supported. I was going to attempt to side load the rom to the phone, but had second thoughts after reading the warning on CM's wiki. I was also unsure which variant to use. I know that the phone is GSM, and that it runs on the AT&T network via straight talk, but beyond that I don't think that the phones software is the same as the actual At&T variant. I would love to have CM on my phone, but I would like to be sure that it will not brick my phone unnecessarily. If anyone knows of any information regarding the installation of CM on this phone, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

Hi rhino....any luck with this? I just picked up the phone as well.
I'm really new to rooting and I bricked my old S5 by my own mistake when trying to root it. I got a new one and I just need some assistance in how to find the information I need to get this phone rooted. I've had a mesmerize and an s4 on cyanogen but for some reason I can't find much on my model. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to post asking for something I could just search for but I'm unsure of bad roots that may brick it again. Is there an official thread for rooting these things or do I just have to look for community roots? Any help would be greatly appreciated
And if there is any cyanogenmod that supports my model that would be helpful. Sorry for the beginner question but I really want to be rooted again.
I just don't want to go through the hard-brick process again so I'm afraid of rooting but as I stated I really want to free this phone. A lot of money and a lot of time spent without a phone.
Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.
