Samsung build number and rooting SM-G900P

Question

I would like to root my Boost Mobile Samsung S5. I've read up enough to know that I need to be 100% about the model and software build version before proceeding with the root.



My provider: Boost/Sprint
Model: SM-G900P
Build: mmb29m.g900pvpu3cpg1
Android 6.0.1



I've looked around and found confirmations for this build with one difference, the builds confirmed don't have the "1" at the end of the build I.D.



Can anyone explain the significance of the 1 at the end of my build?



Also will I need to reactivate my service if I root?

Answer

Reference




Can anyone explain the significance of the 1 at the end




Quoting from reference




....The last character is actually the version number or revising code in that specific month




It is not of significance when choosing firmware, it is only a minor build variation




Also will I need to reactivate my service if I root?




No
