I was desperately searching for a simple root method on youtube and found one in highonandroid.I am a subscriber to his channel.It supports most of the models(verizon and AT&T not supported) .
disclaimer:
•I am not responsible for any damages to your device while using this method to root.
•Your warranty will be void.
•Knox will be tripped,samsung pay will not work.
So, here is the link to his site:
http://galaxynote5root.com/galaxy-n...alaxy-note-5-on-android-6-06-0-1-marshmallow/
•It is clearly described in the site.
•I am really sorry if this method was developed by anyone in xda,please forgive me.
●Also checked the cf-root page and found one odin flashable file (almost all devices are mentioned in that page).
Google cf auto root you will not miss it.
☆The first method also adds twrp recovery in addition to root.
All the credits goes to
The user of the youtube site (highonandroid.com) for the first method.
The credits for second method goes to the king of rooting chainfire for providing a cf auto root file.
enjoy
Appears to be the same as already covered here:

I am interested is simply gaining root access (not installing a custom ROM).
I just received my Samsung Verizon Fascinate so it is running on updated software as supplied from Verizon/Samsung as of 1.10.12.
Is SuperOneClick still applicable?
Where can I locate the latest download and guide?
What is the latest version of SuperOneClick?
look in the guide thread right below this...section 5
I actually had reviewed that prior to posting. That method seems a bit more complicated than SuperOneClick which I have seen mentioned also.
Is SuperOneClick still applicable or is the method as described in Section 5 the only option currently.
Superoneclick worked fine for me running froyo. Not sure about GB though...
superoneclick is no longer an option or else it would be listed in the guide. Here are your options:
1) Follow section 5 of the guide
2) Use adb to push the su-2.6.3 root file to your device
3) Flash a pre rooted rom
Hi,
I purchased a locked Samsung S8 G950U in July from AT&T. I was disappointed to learn there wasn't a root out for it yet, but figured I could live with it until a root was released. I checked XDA yesterday and saw that a relatively simply root method had been posted. I tried following the PartCyborgRom method for rooting the phone. I was able to get into download mode and load into BL. I then followed the instructions and loaded in the AP file. The phone then asked if I would like to reboot. I was very happy as it appeared I had successfully gained root access. I rebooted the phone.
Now, the samsung logo pops up, but with lots of junk at the top. It then goes into a screen which shows "KERNEL PANIC" and several other errors. Seemingly ranomdly, I am able to get back into the download mode warning screen. I have tried the SamFAIL and SamPWNED methods to root since then, but none have worked.
What should I do? Can someone help me successfully root the phone? If someone is able to help me root the phone, I can offer a small bounty reward as loing as it is not against the rules.
edit: If someone would like to walk me through the root one on one, please PM me and we can go to discord or the client of your choice
You can unroot using official rom or using smartswitch. and for yor model cant help you much there is not much for the snapdragon models.

But on the other hand i had a look in the guide of the rom for your device and is not as easy as you say there is several steps you had to do also did make sure you flashed the righ modem and bootloader for your device do you hace working costom recovery on you device ??
Also, if you don't need rooting that much, I think you can revert back to stock firmware using ODIN?

If you followed the directions as clearly written in the OP of the thread then you did not do what you said above, as those are much certainly the directions. There is also discussion in the op and throughout the thread your exact problem is and what to do about.
They are all right though, easiest and most direct method is to just flash stock. Partcyborgrom uses the SamFail method (hint: i developed both) and sampwnd is v1 firmware only
Hello!
These are a few files and guides for rooting a G930T with the Android Oreo 8.0.0 G930TUVS9CSC1 update.
Most Samsung apps, such as S-Health and Samsung Pay, will not function as Knox has detected root.
I've included a link to a patched S-Health app that allows for step-counting, but HR and Sp02 functionalities are missing.
Read all of this and the original guide linked at the bottom before performing any steps towards rooting the device.
-ROOT GUIDE-
-Backup any data on the device.
-Enable "OEM Unlock" in the Developer Options menu on the device.
-Reboot the device into Download mode. ODIN v3.13 should recognize it with an "Added!!"
-Add the v9 Bootloader into the "BL" entry box. Nothing else should be added or checked.
-Begin the transfer with "Start."
-Once the phone has rebooted into Android, open CMD with "cmd-here.exe."
-Enter "root.bat" into the command prompt window to begin the root process.
-Follow the root directions. There will be descriptions of each step in the CMD window, so read them carefully.
-Once the device has been rebooted and rooted, FlashFire, SuperSU, and other apps will appear on the device.
-Use FlashFire to flash the VoLTE icon removal zip. Check both mounting boxes for the flash to succeed.
The guide has been completed with hopefully no issues.
If for any reason there has been an issue or you'd like to unroot the device, stock files have been linked at the bottom.
In my experience, a factory reset and a flash of the stock files should undo most user errors.

Anyone try this yet?
Can somebody help me out? I am trying to go back to stock and despite having a free membership on sam, it will not allow me to download the stock firmware. It keeps telling me to sign up even though I am a free member. Free members should be able to get the latest firmware at a slow speed without paying correct? I dunno why somebody just doesn't toss these files up on a dropbox or google drive.

Root worked . But i'm trying to return to stock because a deal came up with Tmobile and i want to return everything to stock for a possible trade in.
I've added an archive of all of the files at the bottom of the original post, @ftateen.
OK I have read every post in this thread and now my brain hurts. It's been a long day so I am probably just being stupid, however.... I have a 930 with bootloaderv9 I believe (g930tuvsacsg1). Can I follow the rooting guide but use the 930u engineer to gain root or is my phone still a no love zone>

I'm in the same boat. From what I can tell, it seems like T-Mobile added bootloader 9 to the update, but I can't confirm whether using the version linked to in this post will work without issue or if the versions have to be a perfect match to not fail/brick/trip Knox.
All I really want is to root my old S7 so I can play around with root-level access. I'm not using it for mobile data, just tethering to my current phone's mobile hotspot, so it makes no difference to me if I end up with a T-Mobile tweak of Android or something more like a stock version.
SV REV CHECK FAIL : [boot]Fused 10 > Binary 9
Hi,
Upon trying the files you provide, I get the above error msg.
I've search everywhere (I think) in order to find the updated BL...
Thanks anyway - If you have a solution???

Hello! I'm a newbie in all of this, so forgive me if I'm asking something obvious.
I used this thread to root my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0, but I can't edit the hosts file.
Root Checker says Root Access is properly installed but when I try to edit and save the hosts file I get a message that I can't save because it's a read-only file system.
I tried to edit using ES File Explorer and Cx File Explorer with no luck.
A long time ago I had this same phone rooted with Android version 6.0 and I was able to edit the hosts file.
Any idea how to fix this? All help would be appreciated.
-------------
UPDATE: I found a solution. Another file explorer worked. I have no idea why the others didn't.
I am trying to root my SM-N910F using CF Auto Root but when the phone reboots, I noticed that
it says boot image not found, aborting........ and the phone will not root. Is there anything I am doing
wrong or that I missed to cause this issue?

Wasn't it much easier if you install TWRP first, then root it using magisk?
Thank you for thatsuggestion. I didnt know that I can install TWRP before rooting the phone first
I had trouble rooting with CF auto root on my SM-N910F, not exactly the same problem as you.
Then I did some reading into other root alternatives and basically found out that SuperSU, which CF autoroot uses, was sold to a Chinese company called Coding Code Mobile Technlogy sometime around 2015. As it's closed source and Chinese firms particularly have been known not to respect user privacy, I would go with Magisk instead as it's open source, plus I have had zero problems with it so far.
Thank you so much for your help. I am not an expert with the rooting, but done a Note 4 Verizon before and it wasnt easy.
Now I got the 910F and I want to make sure I dont brick it. Can you tell me where I can find exact instructions? I already
downloaded twrp-3.3.1-0-trlte.img is that the correct version for my 910F ?

I'm no expert myself, in fact I'm new to it! but I'll share with you what I know.
I basically flashed TWRP to the phone using Samsung Odin (Loads of videos Youtube showing the process) Then I used Android Debug Bridge to push the Magisk flashable .zip file over to the phone (I think I could have actually just copied it into /sdcard - Androids name for internal storage bizarrely - through windows just like any other external device) before booting into TWRP on the phone, and simply selecting "install", selecting the Magisk .zip and flashing it from there. Then I just booted into Android and I seem to remember either the Magisk manager app will now be in your app draw, or alternatively there is an app placeholder there which allows you to download the full manager app, I can't remember which it is but small difference. Here is a link to the official Magisk thread on XDA which you can use find the download links you need. Take note that right at the top it states...
"Magisk does NOT have a website. Do NOT download Magisk from unofficial sites"
When I did it I downloaded Magisk from one of the top websites that appears when you search "Magisk" in Duckduckgo (they look very official) however after I read the notice above in the official thread I wiped the phone and did the process over again just to be safe! I hope that is helpful. :good:

did you remove battery after the flash?
Thanks for your help. Yes I tried that after the 2nd attempt when I set Odin not to auto reboot, I removed the battery
and then booted the phone after inserting the battery with the same result, not root. I am wondering why it says
boot image not found, aborting....... since I loaded the CF Auto Root which should be the correct boot image
Hello out there.
I purchased an in box Samsung Galaxy S5 900A from At&t on Ebay. I purchased this phone because I knew that it was volte compatible with the phase out happening this month with old phones not compatible with volte. I use this phone with straighttalk and I am satisfied with it. The thing I discovered though is that I could not upgrade this phone from Android 5.0 to anything higher because I was not an ATT customer so these ota updates were pretty much out of my reach. I then stumbled onto this forum knowing that i needed to root my phone to continue. I followed the following guide which I will add here but please excuse me if I am doing it incorrectly:
Rooting the G900A
*Note for Mods: if you could sticky this thread that would be great, I think its really helpful
NO THIS DOES NOT WORK ON THE G870A
Updated with even newer-er method on 03/04/2017
DISCLAIMER:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. I nor XDA is responsible for the effects this may have on your device or your life, whether that be bricking, loss of data, combustion, nuclear war, or the election of businessmen as President (wait what).
Remember, its not root that puts your device in danger, its how you use it.
If you don't know what a locked bootloader is, or think that Chainfire is a new video game, you shouldn't be here, go read a little about Android and the Galaxy S5 before continuing
So let's begin:
What You'll Need:
This *experimental* firmware: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120704448 (Thanks @NavSad !)
The SuperSU APK, Towelroot, and FlashFire, all available from this zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298935990 Mirror
This modified "from-noship" pre-rooted OF3: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298933039
What To Do:
Step 1: Goin' Wayy Down
Use ODIN to flash the experimental firmware.
MASTER CAUTION: This will wipe ALL data on the device!! Backup your stuff before proceeding. I nor XDA is responsible for loss of your memes!
Simply flash the .TAR.MD5 file in the zip using the AP slot in ODIN, and then wait for the phone to boot (which is literally all of 10 seconds).
Step 2: Our Old Friend
After the OS is installed, go to the file manager and install Flashfire, SuperSU, and TowelRoot.
Run towelroot. Simply hit "make it ra1n" and 3 seconds later you'll have the root binaries installed.
Now open the SuperSU app and hit "new user", let it do its thing and then update the SU binaries (don't worry, its safe to reboot!)
At this point you've got root! Now, let's get back to the present!
Step 3: Back to the Future!
Open FlashFire, grant it root access, and flash the modified OF3 with these settings:
Mount /system read/write
A wipe isn't required, but it is recommended (if you do wipe, make sure to put that card B E F O R E the flash zip/ota card!)
Hit "flash", let it flash, reboot, and load.
Guess what? You're done! That's right, you've done all the steps!! Simpler than before, right?
The OLD Method:
This method is not recommended and is only here for historical purposes.
Thanks @NavSad, @DejaVuAgain, and everyone else for their help and hard work!

I have done everything to the letter up to the start of step 3 but am uncertain what series of events I need to complete first. At the end of step two it states to update the binaries. I did that, but I did it "Normally" and not through TWRP. Was that the correct thing to do? When it comes to flashfire, I am uncertain what I need to set to what. I am unsure what correlates with mount/system read/write in relationship to this app. Am i doing this flash process with flashfire, rebooting and then using odin to flash the prerooted os3? I am confused as hell and am scared to death that I am going to screw my phone up. All i want is my phone to be unrooted, which is done and a way to complete this process with my phone looking somewhat like it did before. Right now, it's in a working limbo state, albeit with limited features. My phone is currently on version 4.4.2, Baseband G900AUCU44OF1, Kernel 3.4.0-2166968
Thank you.
