We recommend getting to know the instrument used for the rooting. This is an app, more precisely, and it’s freeware. The app works on numerous devices and it’s powered by an SRS Server.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V has been around for 1 year now. Inside it are Android 4.2.2 JB and a quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 (among other things). They are safe from any sort of harm. In fact, the CPU will be improved thanks to the app; the OS will remain unaffected since the SRSRoot’s compatible with it and all the other versions. Also, you’ll have many ways to get the phone customized.
The advantages of this procedure
Do you want to do away with the root access? The SRSRoot has an answer to that question, too. The Build ID which helped us root the phone was JDQ39.M919VVLUAMG1. The app that roots your device accepts not only this ID, but various others, too. With it on the Samsung SGH-M919V, you will receive tweaks for battery life, as well; they’ll quickly make your handset into a longer lasting one.
Thanks to this new app, the smartphone is free of security problems. Its goodies include new features, custom ROMs and the following: superuser and admin permission. Root-only apps are featured; bloatware isn’t.
A rooting performed on your smartphone will strip it of its warranty. There’s good news, though: the warranty shall be back as soon as a guide for solving this problem is found and used. Should the phone require an update to the latest Android version, there are tutorials which help. But if you decide on one and the device is already rooted, the procedure will remove the root access. The system partition will be taken away, too. The internal / external SD cards and data, though, will not disappear.
