hahahahahahha!

There are a number of ways. Are you asking from the standpoint of you wanting to know, or afraid of your carrier knowing?
If you want to know just download any app that requires root and see if it runs.
For your carrier to know, i believe they would need to physically see the phone. For instance bringing it into one of the stores to troubleshoot an issue and having them see a root requiring app.

Root check works well. You can also get Titanium Backup as well and that has a check in it also.

Did you root your device? Lol.

I haven't seen it used anywhere. Does it actually enable any particular functionality?
use for bricking your phone.
no really, it does what it says
Why would there be such a permission?

Replacement S5 with 5.0, BOG5, am I out of luck to root? Any way to remove bloat?

Done some searching through the threads and I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything new. Build number is BOG5. Can I downgrade that and root? Or am I out of luck?
Are there workarounds for removing bloatware? Thanks.

Sorry but OG5 can't be root. You're out of luck for now.
For de-bloat junks, check out this - Install the software to your PC, then connect your phone and click on read the device, put a check next to the app that you want to block, hit apply. If the app can't be blocked, you could use remove option (put a check mark to the option on the top), however be careful with what you want to remove.

Out of curiosity, why can't OG5 be rooted?

Because they patched all the security holes that allow us to sneak in root!! Started from OE1 then OG5. Anything previous to those 2, it can be rooted.
Is there a way to load in an earlier or rooted ROM using Odin? I just found myself in the same situation.

NO!

Easiest way to achieve root?

I know this is a relatively new phone but are there any sort of tools to automatically root the device for you? If not, what's the best, most up to date guide on doing it yourself. Just bought the phone and want to get it rooted.

What's the difference between this and the Super SU method? I mainly just want root for the tethering so will this method give me that?

It will give you root but not tethering. If you need tethering.. not sure yet. On other phones all it took was freezing the right app but I'm not as familiar with moto as other brands.
I haven't rooted my phone yet or even unlocked it. I'm just hanging out until i feel things are "fairly safe". After that I'll be doing what you are.. other than the one thing the phone is perfection.

Samsung Galaxy S8 SG-950F Root?

Hi, I am planning on buying a samsung s8 from my service provider, however I would like to remove some carrier apps that come with the phone and have no way to remove them without root. Is there anyway to root this device?
Never mind I've answered my own question
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Edit: I thought that was going to remove the apps including cache and storage spaces, didn't read enough before replying, so my question still stands, is there any root for 950f? in all honesty it does not have to be permanent as long as I'm able to remove the apps.

Basically it's just an app to hide root by temporarily disabling root access for being able to open some apps that don't allow rooted devices
