I just got an s4 SGH-1337m as a replacement phone running 5.0.2 out of the box and have yet to find a root method for it. Could anyone enlighten me on how I might do this? Everything I have found seems to be old or not compatable with Canadian models.

Hi Everyone
I have been seaching on here to find a way to root my Att Samsung Galaxy S4 that is running Android 4.4.2 but I can't find the right thread on here. The ones I find are either to root the international version or for the S4 that is running an older version of Android. Can someone help me with finding a thread to root my phone?
There is no direct root method for kitkat. You will need to downgrade to MK2 and install a prerooted ROM.

This is the forum for the intl s5 not the Sprint one. Remember to choose the forum part with the same model number.
Lollipop Blocked Downgrading to Earlier Versions.
I think you can get around it by finding someone with a nandroid backup from the version you want.
Hello, I just bought the Samsung Galaxy S5 today at my local Walmart and saw it saying it got Android kitkat (4.4.2) I know that the Samsung Galaxy S5 can upgrade to lollipop or even Marshmallow. I wanna know away to get that without rooting if I have to root I wanna the safest and easy with no bugs. Now if I have to install a ROM and I want a Link to the ROM that will work for this phone. The ROM needs to just work without no bugs or slowdowns.
-Here is the info-
My phone: Straight Talk (Tracfone Wireless) Samsung Galaxy S5
Android Version: 4.4.2 KitKat
Model Number: SM-S902L
If you need anymore info just reply.
Thank You!
G'Day All,
I have a G900P model.. currently running Android 5.0
The wife has an Optus bought S5 and hers has upgraded to 6.0.1 automatically.
Am wondering if I can upgrade mine as well or am I better of sticking with 5.0 as it works fine.
Cheers
Gwalch
Australian S5 is g900i
G900P is sprint i believe which is American - not sure your phone is going to enjoy living in Oz
Think your better off rooting it and getting the sprint rom section in your favourites
