[Q] Can i root a samsung galaxy s4 MG1 version?

Hey guys
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Canadian model # SGH-l337M
Baseband version ending in MG1.
Im wondering wether this is FULLY rootable? I am a complete noob to android as i just picked the phone up yesterday. Coming from and iphone 4s, and 5. Anyways i updated the phone accidently, and now its on this version. I read somewhere that some versions are rootable, and unrootable? Anyways I can still return the phone as i havent even stuck the sim card in the phone yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also wondering if there is a good daily site/blog you guys could recommend? I used to visit www iclarified dot com.
Thanks

Incorrect.
That guide is for every build except MF3. Step 2 (after reading step first, of course) contains the link to rooting your I337M.

This will work, as I've rooted MG1 with these steps in the past:

[Q] Current Status of US T mobile Note 3 with KK.

2 Nights ago I made the mistake of upgrading my device. Samsung, I think OTA is the right term? Now on 4.4.2.
Am I correct in understanding that there is currently no working root method for my SM-N900T?
I have to be missing something?
Thanks

No, It can be rooted. I rooted immediately on upgrade a week ago.
Search the general Note 3 thread for CF-Autoroot. Use the version for the N9005. Yes! not the N900T. Apply using ODIN.
The N900T version will not work.
Here is the link. http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...xx-smn9005.zip Make sure to extract the tar file from the zip downloaded.

Ok, I'll keep digging!
Thanks.

Did you have any success? Note that the link to the file download was in my post.

Yes! Many thanks!
I have also found the Tmo Note 3 forum. When I found the Samsung GAlaxy Note 3 forum in google, I though this was it =D
Just flashed W03 Slim 8.5, and I'm going to go down the list and try um all!
Again, thanks!

Guys, there are already at least 2 other threads asking for this. Please search before you post.
It is being worked on and one way or another, someone will get it and post it either in the General thread or development thread if it is a zip by that point. Just like with root, be patient and just make the best of what you have for now; we are all in the same boat and probably want to accomplish the same things :good:

If your phone is on 4.4.4, you can try this. I am trying to do it myself but having an issue backing up my phone

I'm on 5.0.1 unfortunately. I'm dying for a downgrade firmware. Like a dummy I took the 5.0.1 update and did not realize there was no att kk firmware released yet

Please read most carefully. I wrote that is the same way for all stock lolipop rom for international N9005.

This method will trip your knox counter.
Aren't there any other solutions to keep the counter to 0?
Now I have the N9005XXUGBOA1 rooted, and want to flash the newer N9005XXUGBOG2 without loosing the root.

Yes there is.
I used this method for my n900w8 and should work for your model using the specific files for the n9005.

Enviado de meu SM-N9005 usando Tapatalk

Hi there,
I updated my SN-9500 (International) successfully from Firmware 4.3 to 5.0 (using N9005XXUGBOA1_HOME.tar. But I am not able to ROOT it again. Nothing works: neither KINGO ROOT, neither the way kouros17 mentioned (refering to Chainfire). I trief each and everything.
Every attempt leads to the message: SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery and the downloading interrupts always after 4mm. Does anyone of you has another idea to get the ROOT work? All the normal and common ways do not work. Thanks in advance for helping me out ... Robert

When I upgraded to lollipop I followed the instruction found here on XDA but I didn't remember the exact thread .... You have to flash the old kernel of KitKat on lollipop, use towel root, then flash the lollipop's kernel..

Yes, you need a Sd card in your phone, but before you flash anything, first make a Backup in your sd card using flash fire.
