I have scoured the internet and this forums for an answer to see if this AT&T S5 Mini can be rooted. Most articles seem to talk about other variants of this phone. Chainfire's site does not list the A model. There is one article (http://www.gogorapid.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-sm-g800a/) on rooting this model, but it is for a different baseband version. The SRSRoot site claims it can root this phone...
So, the phone details are as below:
Device Name: Samsung-SM-G800A
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G800AUCU3BOJ8
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-6091345
Build Number: LMY47X.G800AUCU3BOJB
Knox Version: 2.4.1
From Samsung site, this version was released sometime in November of last year. I found the rooting guide for G900A (for a different build number though) on this forum and I am assuming that it is not applicable to G800A model.
Anyways, can I root this phone? I believe that this model with this baseband version cannot be rooted due to locked boot-loader... I wanted to confirm my understanding (or misunderstanding) as I have never rooted phones and I am hesitant to trust any answers outside these forums.. Thank you.
At this moment, I test with kingroot and nothing.
with debloater dont work too

Hi all.
I have a Korean version of the Galaxy Tab that I'm using in the US.
Model: SHW-M180S
Firmware: 2.2
Basebad: M180S.DL24.0810.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build: Froyo.DL24
What are my options for rooting / firmware flashing? I've searched the forums for the ROMs that I might be able to use, but I don't see anything listed specifically that fits.
If I didn't care about getting the modem working, does it matter which version I decide to use? I know the Korean version have a bit more hardware in it (mainly the over-the-air TV), but I don't care about that either as it's completely useless in the US.
Hi everybody,
I just received a used Galaxy Note model GT-I9220 from a family friend who bought it in China (I'm from the US). I would like to root it and replace it with an operating system of my choice. The problem is, I don't see anything on the XDA Developers site about this model, as it seems to be specific to China. I've googled a little bit, and I'm getting conflicting information about whether or not I can use the same tools as for the N7000.
My precise specs are:
Model number: GT_I9220
Android version: 4.0.9
Baseband version: I9220DDKL1
Kernel version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKL3
I know absolutely nothing about using Android, the process of rooting, or anything in-between. I would like to use the guides on this site, but it would be nice to know whether or not any of it is even relevant to my Galaxy note model. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
As far as I know, the i9220 is the same as the N7000, you can flash N7000 firmwares on I9220.
Make a search in n7000 section with "i9220", you'll get more affirmative answers.
Then, I suggest you to consult the stickied threads made by dr.ketan in these sections, you'll find every guide you need.
Finally, next time you have a question, post it in the Q&A section

Geohots method is only for the i537 - not the i9295. The i9295 uses CF-Auto-root for the 9505, and then you end up with a rooted phone but a recovery you can't see because it uses the wrong screen drivers, so you either flash the stock recovery if you want to, or just flash the custom CWM recovery found in its own thread in the original android development subforum.
Instructions for how to use CF-Auto-root is apparently found here http://honai-android.blogspot.nl/2013/08/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-active-i9295-on.html
I can't find the thread I originally used when I rooted mine, which is weird, because I could have sworn it was stickied, but I guess something happened. Anyway it's not complicated, and not particularly risky. (Regular disclaimers apply).
Good luck!
If you want to try others methods to root your S4 Active, there is the software KingoRoot on PC to install : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667886
I have recently purchased the S5 Active G870A 4.4.4.
How would I go on about rooting this phone? I've seen all kinds of post that says how to do it, I read the comments and people is bricking their phones because if not the correct kernel or whatever.
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-G870A
Android Version: 4.4.4
BaseBand version: G870AUCU1AOA1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-116194

If some one could maybe I don't know pass me a link that won't brick my phone or maybe place some steps in the comments, be cool.
Thanks a lot, highly appreciated!

Hi everyone,
I'm new here but I hope someone can help.
I bought an old S6 Active from the US for my husband to use on the EE network in the UK. It all works fine, no issues at all, but I really need to activate the WiFi Calling option which is currently greyed out under Settings>Connections.
I've been doing quite a bit of reading around and from the EE forums they suggest flashing EE firmware onto the phone and this should allow the WiFi Calling option.
First question, is this correct?
Second question is, I cannot find any non-AT&T firmware that is specific to the S6 Active model that I have (SM-G890A). There is plenty of firmware for the S6, of various model numbers, including UK EE firmware from Sammobile.com. The question is can I use an S6 firmware on the S6 Active and if so what model's firmware can I use?
Details of the phone I have are:
Model No. Samsung-SM-G890A
Android version: 7.0
Baseband version: G890AUCS7DRA2
Kernel version: 3.10.61-12599862
[email protected] #1
Build number: NRD90M.G890AUCS7DRA2
I've not logged into any accounts or used the phone in any way yet, so if anything needs doing that may wipe the phone it is not a problem.
Thanks very much for any help.
