ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have a question:
The root tutorial is no problem to get root access for my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 XXUGNG8. (4.4.2)
But when i boot in recovery you can see at the top it says XXUGNA8???
And the Android Icon had a red triangle in his belly.
I think the CF Auto Root is the wrong file, I looked it up the Firmware XXXUGNA8 is the for the I9300 S3
Ken you tell me if I’am right or wrong?
Kind Regards,
Marc Jager
