Hey Guys,
I bought Samsung Galaxy A8 32GB (SM-A800F) Exynos Variant! Samsung Galaxy Alpha & Samsung Galaxy A7 also using same chipset. Galaxy Alpha has great dev support. So why such awesome sleek and stylish device left? Even there is no root available for now!
I hope in future, devs will consider this device too!!
For rooting try king root latest version. They said that it can root even android 6.0.

Bro, i never use S Voice. So i don't know about it. But you can disable S-Voice in Battery Optimisation Settings, maybe it will solve your problem.

It is not an application that is in the list for optimization. I just don't know what to do about it. Also not having a notification LED is really annoying. Maybe i will try and root and put xposed for the lollipop style ambient notification display, especially since this is an AMOLED display.
But i still do not know what to do about SVoice, if anyone can help, please do.
Does anyone have custom or stock recovery i can flash? i tried to flash one custom recovery and its now stuck on bootloop. Reflashing the recovery wont do any good.....thanks in advanced

Can never be unlocked without a leak from Samsung. Root is possible just hasn't been done or confirmed yet.
So it will be not compatible?
We don't know unless it happens.
I hope soon it happens
Is there any new hopes for rooting updated N900V (lollipop)?
The lollipop update just drains my battery. I miss my old rooted 4.4.2.
Is there a way to rollback and root?

I am also looking to root my sm-n900v on 5.0 lollipop because I cannot stand the Verizon nonsense clogging up my device. Also, I leave for Europe on the 9th and was hoping to use local sims instead of Verizon international. I was under the impression Note 3 was unlocked for this kind of use, but when trying to use a local sim in Mexico, I was told the phone was locked. Is a rooted phone necessary to switch out and use an international SIM? If so I must scramble to figure out another option as I was hoping to root my device, not understanding this was not possible. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I agree. Leading us on but no root.
I'm waiting too
So there is no possible way to root a lollipop Verizon Note 3? That is a bit crazy but the only reason I wanted to root was to remove the pre-installed apps. Please update if anyone has figured out some way. I wish these phones didn't come with all this bloatware. The Samsung apps are fine but Verizon are the ones I'd like to get rid of or at least some of them. Thanks!!

Dead link?
There is no root for the n900v 4.4.4 or later versions, and it doesn't seem anyone is working on one.
At least that was a direct answer! ugh just bummed out now because I was forced to come back to this phone after my other one got a tiny splatter of water on it and freaking DIED.
I really wish someone would

So I've been looking between the S8 and the G6 to upgrade to, and I really like the S8, but I use root a lot for different things- Viper, AdAway, and just general performance things
Does anyone think it's realistic to say we'll get this phone rooted? I remember my old S6 being hard to root, but it got done in a month or 2, and I'm just curious
Thank you to anyone who can help me

If you are referring to the U.S. Snapdragon variants, it will be some time and it will half baked like it was with the S7 and S7 Edge. They locked the bootloader on all the Snapdragon variants and that, obviously, makes it infinitely more difficult to root. The Exynos version of the aforementioned phones had root last year and it apparently performed very well. I wouldn't expect it anytime near launch. These devs have lives, so there will be no timetable.
Also, in my opinion, Viper tends to be a little overrated, but I am just throwing my 2 cents in here.
Now that they removed the remapping functionality for the Bixby button, I will definitely want to root my device (Exynos variant).
So there is no root even with magisk root?

Ive been looking for a exynos region list but this year having no luck to determine the right model on lte and att bands..but all i buy now is exynos because they are or were unlocked.

But with some countries getting samsung pay will they get exynos or snapdragon. Regions that got samsung pay would be locked thats the info ive been trying to figure out....lol

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.

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.
I thinks that we are going to face software instability if we did so. Right ?
I dont think that we need any other custom rom .
So i am thinking of just rooting without installing any custom rom . If i will , it will be only For the z sake of using TWRP.
What is bothering me the silence of all Note FE forum .. no news .. nothing at all . What do you think !!
Limitation number of sold phone is the reason. Even with stock phone, we dont have software support like S7e. Anyway, its ur choice. And would like to use Samsung services in their mobile device so i keep it non root.

Thanks. But I used to root my old note 3 with no problems in Samsung apps , also I got updates every time when I revert back to the original software. And as you said : there is no support beside updates are always very late.

That popular than the Note FE. And at the time of Note 3, there is no huge difference between root and non root about Samsung services. So u can compare these device. I also used S4 and my opinion is try to use Samsung device that official release in your country and not root it if u not have another High end Samsung Device ?

It's up to u. With customization, there will have substratum for that (at least it enough for most of people). With backup, u have cloud and SmartSwitch. And uptake, i think it really not necessary as Samsung Firmware is really good enough for most of situations. Basically, i dont see anything better if rooted Note FE.

root on older samsung phones like the note 3 is very different from how it affects the phone with modern samsung devices. you will lose access to Samsung Pay, Samsung Members, and Google Pay

But Google Pay wont have large number of accept place. Samsung Pay have large number of accepted place. Google Pay wont be affected by root. Samsung Pay, root mean lost forever.
So i think it will be very hard to decied root flagship Samsung device.
Unless you are a software developer there is no reason to actually root a modern android device. As the latest version of Android is pretty efficent.
Root is not really important for android user today. I just wonder why there are so few custom roms for note FE lol..
Root is for customization. Nowdays theres option to customize even if ur device is not rooted.
This is the only android device which I have not rooted as I find not that helpful as most of the feature and customization which we use to get through the root are already available even in the low spec phone
