Just after some advice please guys. I just bought an s4 ( in australia ). 1.9 processor and the usuall other stuff but this s4 is the arctic blue model with 16gb internal storage.

I can't find enough consistant information about this model on the forums. I couldn't even find the corresponding firmware for the phone on samsung website so i checked if there was an update for the phone....there was and i downloaded. The below are the new details for the phone. All i want to do is root the phone and remove as much bloatware as possible without downloading any roms or any boot animations etc etc.

1) Where can i get the corresponding samsung firmware?
2) What's the safest root method for this device?


Model number GT-19505
Baseband version 19505XXUEMK9

Kernel version
3.4.0-2082040
