[Q] Need help -- Should I Root or OTA update first?

hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S4 sgh-i1337M with Fido in CAanda. I would like to Root and enjoy my phone as it should be.
Before doing anything, I checked for software update on the phone in settings, and there is one that is 100.01 MB. Looking up that size, I think it has something to do with this number (my modem version??):
I337MUMUFNK1 -- which comes up when I search google for an update of that size which is OTA and for my phone.
Samsung and Fido and Google say to call the 'others' as they do not know what this update is for. WTF! Nobody knows what the update is for??
------------------------------------------
My phone info:
I am on 4.4.2
SGH-I337M locked to Fido in Canada
BASEBAND: I337MVLUFNE1
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758
[email protected] #1
BUILD: KOT49H.I337MVLUFNE1
------------------------------------------
The baseband seems to be what the update will modify??? (ignore this if its dumb)
MY QUESTION:
Should I root the way it is now and disregard the latest update?
Should I update the phone now, as I won't be able to receive OTA updates in the future and then Root? (I know I can always do whatever I want after rooting.....
it would still make sense to do this update now, then root as its just easier that way).
Thank you in advance to everyone who knows the answer to this and responds!

Hi,
I posted this the night before...this is a repost after it seemed to go missing.....
Anyways... was hoping for a quicker response than 2 days so far! Lol
I went ahead and did it...no more question.

The device sections are for the phones themselves, not the carrier that you're with, so the section that this thread has been moved to, and today I provided links for, is the correct section for this phone.

Seeking some assistance updating an unlocked (And out of US) G892A from stock

Hello Folks,
As the thread title states, I'm looking for a way to update to the current firmware from stock (G892AUCU1AQG4) - I bought the device a few days after it came out and promptly unlocked it and took it to Canada - OTA Updates are obviously disabled as I'm not on AT&T and there's no indication of a manual update method via USB on AT&T's support pages. Any chance someone has pulled ODIN files for all of the updates (As they seem to be building off of one another, indicating it's basically a nesting doll scenario where I assume I'll need to run update after update in sequence)? Or is there another way to go about this that doesn't involve going stateside and buying a sim and plan?
Did some searching and found a few threads with links or references to the stock files, but didn't see any means to update from stock to current (Or even just the first 8.0 variant)
Cheers and thanks in advance if anyone can save my Canadian bacon.
Edit for background information: I've tried forcing an update via SmartSwitch (RIP Kies) but it says the device is up to date, making me think it's also just checking for an OTA update, but given there's no update available on my wireless network it just dead ends.

Galaxy s5 straight talk issues.

Hello, I have a galaxy S5 straight talk phone.
I used 14.x of lineage with no issues.
I have updated to 15.1 and everything works but I have the following problems.
Loses service (I can actually see my apns disappear)
"Roaming indicator off" is displayed (no way to turn off)
Bluetooth crashes constantly.
Rebooting fixes service drop and Bluetooth but only for a little while.
I tried to find a newer modem as stock is 4.x Android
I tried regular galaxy S5 modems and refuses to flash it always fails auth. (Would love to update finally as it's old.)
I have tried to find fixes but nothing so far. If anyone has a fix please let me know. I love the new version and would hate to go back.
Oh also I have done a fresh flash (deleted everything and flashed so no dirty)
Posted in questions and answers as well but looked like thread was dead (not trying to double post)

I don't have this variant but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS 15.1 thread that's specific to the klte.

Ok thank you doing this now.

I don't want to open a new thread for this but I was wondering how would I change my variant from 992l to g900v so I can get new modem or how would I install the modem from a G900V into my 902l.. There literally Tue same just tracphone bought some s5's and changed the models and such to fit there needs but hw is the same.

I've never had this variant and I've never done this before myself...
My first instinct is to strongly suggest that you don't try it and might result in a Soft/Hard Brick.
I would even think that this would be blocked in Odin with a "SW REV CHECK" Fail since this is the way Odin checks to see if what your flashing is for your device.
With that guidance...
I do see some chat regarding this exact question your asking on the following thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3580168
It looks like some has successfully performed this as well.
I would think that this conversation would probably be best continued on that thread for guidance since it has members who are much more familiar with your specific device.
I do wish you the best of luck with this!

Thank you. The reason I want to do this is my modem is from 4.x android which is ancient now and also I have los 15.1 and its constantly losing service ,WiFi,Bluetooth every few minutes. I was trying to find 14.1 los but its not available anymore and all links I find eventually go back to the website that has it removed.

I had just provided some important information to another member on the following thread post...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=77837824
... where the member has the same device as yours with the G900V Firmware installed and just cannot update the Modem.
That post that I just placed is important for you to remember regarding the Baseband Modem between the two.
Just some final thoughts...
Good Luck!

S5 LineageOS16 encryption
Hey!
I installed LineageOS 16.0.1 on my SM-900F and I can't encrypt the device. Phone just reboots.
Also "Trust" is telling me that SELinux is not enforced and I cant seem to find any settings relating to SELinux. Should I just turn off the notification or what?
Obviously I like my device to be secured as much as possible.
Any tips for where to look, please?
