ok so I have this samsung galaxy s5 g900v
here is the info
model number = SM-G900V
Android version = 5.0
Baseband version = G900VVRU2BOG5
Kernel version = 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Build number LXR21T.G900VVRU2BOG5
I did as rules said. I searched here is a list of words used
"g900v tutorial" "G900v where to start" "G900v how to" " G900v whats next?" G900V Guide to root" all resulting in (Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. )
I was also told to go on youtube and watch videos on how to root..if root is the correct word to use..I found nothing useful most of them are people that speak horrible English and or are just selling something.. or tricking people into destroying their phones. so where are the tutorials? where is the step by step guides?
WHERE DO I START?
WHAT DO I DO?
WHAT DO I NEED?
HOW DO I DO IT?

I have looked everywhere for the answer to this but can someone please explain what the ROM naming by Samsung means? I remember the last three digits are something to do with the date it was compiled but what? eg - I9505XXUAMDM = I9505 (model number)+XXU (whats this?)+ MDM (What is this?)
i have been at this 3 hours now and i have now idea what to do.
im trying to root my SGS4, i find solutions but then it says something like "you cant use this method unless your device is carrier unlocked".
Model number: GT-I9505
Android 4.2.2
baseband ver: I9505DVUAMD8
Kernel 3.4.0-431985
build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDE
carrier: Virgin Mobile Australia (when it starts up it says Optus though)
why are there so many build number versions? can i just use any rooting method if it doesnt specifically say my build number? why is it so difficult to root! i dont care about the answers i just want a method that wont brick my phone T_T
does anyone know what could work????
THIS IS THE NEWLY CREATED SGS4A (ACTIVE) i537/i9295 forum

Please take your concerns to the SGS4 Forum (search for s 4, with a space in between). You have the regular s4, so you're gonna find a thread there with info you need.
now let us enjoy our s4 active forum, or go get yourself an s4 Active and maybe you'll understand.
- Good Day Sir!
haha... yay we have our own forum now .
Somebody did not take that left turn at Alberqurque!
There are many carriers and models of the S4. make sure you are in the correct forum to avoid creating a $700 paperweight

Why are you posting here.I dont see that model listed in the forum header.If its a chinese clone, maybe you could buy a proper genuine s4 like me, and most people on here have.

U guys never seem to like people wiht different phones, some community you are.
This site is divided into forums.Each forum lists the model numbers for the phones in question.Your phone does not appear in the header.
So as far as Im concerned, it has nothing to do with this forum and you should not post in this forum about that phone.
Same as if you had one of them crappy s4 minis-nothing to do with this forum.
As indicated earlier, if you want to be part of this forum's community, then pick one of the models listed and buy it.....lol
Model # SM-G900
Android version 4.4.2
baseband version G900SKSU1ANCD
kernel version 3.4.5 [email protected] #1
build # KOT49H.G900SKSU1AND3
I want to start by saying THANKS to all the xda community.
I never posted a thread because usually I can take care of everything after reading all the good posts that I need.
Do not consider myself a "newbie" but I have a problem that I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help.
I purchased an international version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 that CPU-Z shows the Model to be SM-G900S (klteskt) and for the life of me I can not get it to communicate with ODIN or KIES. PS: I can access the storage.
I tried every samsung driver, every trick for all windows versions every thread for MT64xx loaders and still no comm with kies or ODIN.
Samsung support mentioned they can not help because support is only for US devices. The phone is currently on the ATT network.
Any Help is greatly appreciated- Many Thanks
hey

Did you find the answer?
Odin should work fine if you have a proper USB driver for your phone.
You said that you had tried every driver. That seems unlikely. Did you try searching the Korean site for a driver? Or downloading the latest version of Kies and using it to install a driver. Also look for the 900S support thread on this forum for more targeted information.
As a last resort contact Samsung Korea, in Korean and request the driver. I'd bet though that you could find it on the Korean site yourself if you try.
.
Look here http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900s, step 1 is for the usb driver.
Hi there , I have the same problem , but I can go in dowload mode ! I try it in every way ! Keep pop up a korean thing !

What do you mean by MT64xx? Is it a MediaTek? If so, you may have a fake device?
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Refurbishment Check' and see what is the result?
i want to put some pics but i don't know how

Hi guys,
being new to XDA Dev, I've read alot on these forums to see the community is indeed a solid one in knowledge and willingly helpful, which is why I'm asking a bit of a lot of informations.
Firstly, I've tried for a while to understand the process of the network unlocking of my phone, I'll relate every specs/infos of it further. It seems I'm unable to get into the ServiceMode menu - although, it seems I would need to flash to the ME2 modem with Odin, which doesn't seem to be a problem: only, from the researches I've made on those modems, it also depends on the model and baseband version. I'm a bit lost here, I only need to know what the process would be and if applicable to know what and where to get the resources.
So here's the infos on my phone:
Model # = SGH-M919V
Running on 4.4.2
Baseband version = M919VVLUFNB5
Sec software MDF v1.0 R2
I'd really appreciate any hints about the subject.
Regards,
Will Wax.
