Hey, I got this phone recently, a Galaxy J5 Metal and I want to root it, but it's my first android phone, so I have no idea how to start.
First of all, this is an really specific model, so there aren't any tutorials for it. Would other j5 tutorials work the same, or is the OS different?

Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.
So a few days ago I bought a new Galaxy Tab A. It's the 8 inch model (not sure how many sizes are in the Tab A series). More specifically, the model is SM-T350.
Which tablet is this exactly? A3, A5, A7, etc, etc? How can I tell?
Im very familiar with rooting my Galaxy phones, but getting info to root this tablet is a bit confusing for me. Is there a root method that works for all Tab A tablets, or do I need to find one for my specific model?
Thanks fellas
This is the forum for the A series phones, your tablet is a completely different device.
I rooted and built TWRP, along with a couple of custom roms for the Tab A a while ago.
You will find everything you need in the thread below:

I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you

I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.

Hello guys and gals. I want too root my Samsung Galaxy S8 (T-Mobile) and install TWRP on it, so that I can flash a custom rom. I have however read very negative things about people trying to modify their S8 devices and I am not sure it is as easy or safe as modifying my previous phone (The Nexus 6). I want to ask if it is currently safe, and if so, some reliable links to what I am looking for. Thanks.
You can't root the tmo s8 since it has a locked bootloader, you need the exynos s8.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to root my old S8 that's just been lying around. I haven't rooted a phone since the S4 mini and before that the HTC Evo 3D, so I'm a bit rusty.
I found a thread about the G950W and rooting it, but it now claims to be discontinued. The new thread that was linked only indicates that it's for the G960U.
I also wanted to mention that it has Android 8.0, and I feel like I recall seeing something that said only 7.0 can be rooted? Has this changed? Maybe I didn't look hard enough?
I believe my phone has a Snapdragon processor and I don't recall seeing OEM Unlock under the developer options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

No oem unlock. Still root 7.0 only. Look up extreme syndicate thread and you can root 7.0 from there
So since my S8 has Android 8.0 I'm out of luck then? After looking through the thread I didn't see any mention of G950W or rolling back Android 8.0 to 7.0.
I updated my S8 SM-G950W to android 9 and all the threads I find in forums say android 7 is required/or OEM unlock is required/OR bootloader must be unlocked. I haven't found one starting from android 9 with the Canadian variant with the bootloader locked. Any thoughts on what to do from here?
