Hello.
I recently got an Orange branded Galaxy S I9000 (baseband I9000BVJV3 and Android 2.3.5). I am wanting to get CM9 installed on it but first I obviously require a root. A lot of the roots I have seen around are for different baseband versions to this phone, though I don't know if this makes any difference. If anyone know a way I could root this phone I would be grateful if you could help me out a little and post it
Thanks!

Hi.
I have a problem to identify my phone.
I was bought it few days ago, and I don't know what model it's it.
Screenshots below.
Under battery it's says that this is a SM-9005 model, but under back cover it's says that this is a SM-900A model. In download mode it's a SM-900A model.
It is a SM-N900A.. Not sure why it would say N9005 under the battery tho.. The NC2 Bootloader belongs to At&t.. You are aware that your phone has a custom Rom on it right? The Rom on your phone has is one from the International Note 3.. You can easily revert it back to stock AT&T firmware .. Seeing you have the NC2 Bootloader you can not put any Firmware below Kitkat 4.4.2 witch I believe is what is on your phone right now.. You can also upgrade to 4.4.4 Kitkat or Lollipop 5.0.. At&t Note 3 has a locked Bootloader so be careful not to flash any Rom that is not TouchWiz base or custom Kernels, Meaning true AOSP roms like CM, Slim, Paranoid Android, Pacman an so on will not work an will more than likely harm your phone.. Hope this helps..

I want the international wersion. I don't like this 4g icon. Can I easy change it? Maybe it's a custom stock rom from N9005 without at&t apps and other bloatware? I really like stock touchwiz here but it's so many apps that I will don't use it never...what can I do now? Thanks for reply
Yes you can install another international as long as it is TouchWiz. So let's find out what kinda Rom you are looking for? Do you want to stay with Kitkat Roms or are you looking to upgrade to Lollipop? And another question, Are you familiar with Safestrap recovery? After you let me know I will get you links to a great Rom an easy to follow instructions for installation..
I'm having the same thing too. I got the device in the UK but it's an AT&T model.
I've got Safestrap on my device already and is looking to install Lollipop on it. How do you suggest I do that? I really like Knox security from Samsung but it is a pain to install ROM now. And I want to install a stock Lollipop on it if possible.
Thanks in advanced.

You are a life saver. I also have the same issue as mlekopan16. I bought my device in UAE online. Reading your post I am assuming my device is also 900A. I am also attaching screenshots from my device. Request you to have a look. I was able to install safestrap on my device and it is working fine now. I want to use custom lollipop roms on my device but dont know what does a locked bootloader mean. My question is can I install custom lollipop rom and can I still use it with any other network or it can only be used with AT&T? Please advice.
note 3 upgrade n9005 which is actually n900A

hello
i am having the same problem how do I upgrade my 4.2.2 kitkat phone which shows n9005 in android and n900a in download mode to 5.0 lollipop. i wish to do an update without locking the carrier
If the phone in download says it is an n900a, it is a AT&T Note 3 sm-n900a with a locked bootloader.
You will need to look here to upgrade to 5.0:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
I have a safestrapped rooted g900a phone. Running 4.4.2 with Unity rom v2.1.0. I've been looking for a newer rom. Perhaps marshmallow. I've googleed quite alot and have the understanding that safestrap won't work anymore. Not that I understand why 100%.
Can I just use odin and flash a newer rom and continue to use safestrap for booting?
As chance would have it... I purchased my s5 right when towelroot came out.
I've been reading about cm for the s5 for international versions. Do you think this could be a possibility or is the locked bootloader a problem, even with safestrap?
Also to flash any newer rom, would I have to uninstall / remove safestrap? Install a new bootloader? Is that even possible?
Much thanks in advance!
Any extra info you need please feel free to ask me.

Search is your friend. Too much info for one post. Search in att s5 general.
SM-G870A Peace
So there is threads where it shows cf auto root works for all g800f but the build number is different. if im afraid that ill brick my phone trying to root it. Im newbie for this things so if something goes wrong i dont know what to do. Im from bulgaria and my phones warranty expired this month so i decided to root it mostly to use lucky patcher. If someone can make it clear if its ok to do that when build numbers are not matching ill be happy waiting for someone to enlighten me and thanks for the help i appreciate that
Well my experience says that the build number does not matter. You have to choose only the right android version thats it.
I understand you but there is explainings how to root g800f with 4.4.2 and I saw a thread about rooting g800m with 5.1.1 there is not for g800f...
Thanks for reading my post.
I own a G925A, 5.0.2, AOCE, SIM Unlocked and rooted, STOCK rom.
Now i want to update my system a little bit, and flash a new ROM with debloated, NO AT&T and Samsung apps, and root. A nice and clean Rom.
My question is, what version of system should i update? I read some posts and people sayting AT&T locked the bootloader so after 6.0.1 you can do nothing.
So should i update to 5.1.1 and find a non-stock rom and stay with it? Any suggestion? There's almost no post on AT&T S6 EDGE Android Development.
Thanks for the help
