How to root Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 with build XXUBMH1? The latest build for Samsung Galaxy S4 in South Africa is XXUBMH1. I followed this guide to rooting S4s but it doesn't work on this build.


How can I root this phone, preferably without having to load a different version of the firmware first?
(Bonus) How can I find such information without trawling through many pages of discussions on forums.xda-developers.com?


If it's relevant, I'm running Ubuntu 13.04.
I found this application quite useful https://towelroot.com/ download and run on your device and it roots your device for you. Its been recommended by XDA.I ran it on my s4 I9505 and worked perfectly.
