I know this instruction is given for Verizon Galaxy Note 3, not intend for your device.
But did you even try it without success?

First off im not a noob. i have/had a nexus s; captivate, att sgs2 all rooted flashed and the sort. my wifes atrix 4g is a mystery. it could be because i havent spent as much time with it as the other phones but anyway heres the prob: when she got her phone it was running either 2.2 or 2.2.xx cant remember but i rooted it using gingerbreak. then she did the gingerbread update on top of the root. here is the problem. the phone still has the supersuser app and looks like its rooted but its not. how do i remove all of the the components of the root then reroot? theres nothing wrong with the phone it works fine no problems whatsoever. a lil info any advanced users could use: system version 4.5.91.mb860.att.en.us running 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-00001-g41bc3e0 [email protected]#2 build# 4.5.91
any help will be appreciated. ill try to check this tread as often as i can. we just had a newborn 3 weeks ago and a 2yr old running around as well as working full time. feel free to send a pm with any question r possible solutions. thx

What makes you think its not rooted?
In any case, try "re-rooting" using the info in this thread.
Any app that requires root permissions says its not rooted. ill try that and see what happens. thx

Try Root Checker to see if you are rooted.

Yep, must have root
Thanks. Then I would like to root but don't understand the thread linked above. There's so much to go through and questions and answers. It all seems mixed together. I would need a step by step for dummies kind of thing haha.

I get confused when there's something else mixed in. I need info step by step without anything extra. Also I have no SD card. Just my normal gs5.

You need an SD card to root.
So I understand that there is a new update out and I'm wanting to upgrade to it. I'm currently rooted and have xposed installed. I was wondering if I will keep root and not have to wipe my device.
If I have to re-root it, could someone please show me the steps to take? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Here you go....

Yes, to upgrade to the newest firmware you will lose root and more then likely have to fully wipe your phone, just make sure you back everything up. The root method is the same as when you 1st rooted your phone, but I will leave you a link to the root thread. Always try to search for the answer's before asking question's. Hope this helps you out buddy Click here

How to root the samsung galaxy s8 Active?
Is there a guide for it?
And if anyone had tried to make this S8 Active have stereo sound, it would be very useful like other phone that has stereo, it sounds better.
There is no root for the ACTIVE and most likely never will be one the active 5 and 6 never got root.

I see. Too bad. It isnt popular enough for anyone to root it.
So I shouldn't try this?

If you success, let us know.

Has anyone tried the root mentioned in the above post?
i do not recommend anyone try root from that link. that is a clickbait site and none of the information there is substantiated.
keep away unless you want a brick.
Any update on this? Ive been trying to root my SM-G892U but there's nothing out there.

Well, there's "[Root][G892A/U][V1/V2][SamFail][ROM]PartCyborgRom, Root for the Galaxy S8 Active", but I think the take away from that thread is that only the early firmwares were rootable.
EDIT: Specifically, see this post to perhaps get that rooted custom ROM working if you are on a v4 or v5 bootloader.
