are you saying that you installed a custom rom on a nonrooted phone ?

I don't know much about rooting.I just flashed TWRP and then flashed cm 13 ROM. And there is nothing like superuser or supersu in ROM.
just look at this link : "http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/galaxy-series-cf-auto-root-t3280406"
it should help you,but I still think that you are already rooted if you have custom rom. I never installed a custom rom on a nonrooted phone and I don't know if it is possible.
Cm has its own root. Enable it in developer settings.
So I've normally been good at figuring stuff out on my own when flashing custom roms, rooting, etc but it's been awhile since I've messed with it and it seems things keep getting tougher (or maybe it's just me). Anyway here is the story... I am currently running JasmineROM (Android 5.0 Lollipop) on my Verizon Note 3 (SM-N900V), but I was considering upgrading to a version 6 Marshmellow rom like Temasek. One problem is that for some reason, I never installed a custom recovery so I am not sure how to proceed. I guess my questions are:
1. Do I need to downgrade to Kit-Kat somehow to install TWRP, and if so, what is a good guide?
2. What is the best, fastest, bloatware-free Marshmellow custom rom out there for SM-N900V right now?
3. I looked at the installation instructions for TWRP and it says to only use a specific version depending on whether your bootloader is the upgraded kit-kat version or not. How do I know this? Would it be updated since I'm using a 5.0 rom?
Sorry for the noobish questions and thanks in advance for any help!
Easy answers:
1 you can not back rev to KitKat
2 you can not install any custom recovery until you unlock the bootloader
3 you can not install any version of Marshmallow until you have installed a custom recovery because there is no official Marshmallow for the Verizon Note 3
Look in this forum for how to unlock the bootloader.

a. Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
b. Install TWRP ( I used 3.0.2-0 ) the easy way: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
c. Install CM13 ( This is the only MM ROM I could get to work on the Verizon network) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...opment/rom-temaseks-unofficial-build-t3364382
Thanks for the help! I managed to figure it out myself after realizing I needed to unlock the bootloader. Thanks for taking the time to post!

Hey guys, im having trouble finding a stock version of android 4.4 KitKat for my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (sm-g530t variant) because im trying to get pretty much any version of LineageOS thats Marshmallow and above, but they all require me to have 4.4 kitkat installed, and i simply cannot find it ANYWHERE. if anyone out there can provide me a link, or send me a link to like google drive with a backup of a freshly stock factory reset backup? Just something please, im getting quite desperate as i cannot afford a new phone, but 5.1.1 is giving me all sorts of hell, what with not having adoptable storage and whatnot. So if anyone can help me out, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as i have searched and searched and searched for literally HOURS trying to find 4.4 for this thing, and i never found one. for reference, if need be, im trying to get LineageOS 15.1 or 15.0, if that helps too, but i dont know, im sort of a noob in a way. I can and have flashed a few alternate roms, but i need 4.4 for Lineage. Also, ive already checked on Sammobile, and the only firmware they have is 5.1.1. Ive even searched around XDA quite a bit, and still cant find it :crying: Thanks to all who can help, and have a great day!

You need *4.4 and above* to install lineage. So having 5.1.1 is fine as well.

Lineage 15 isn't working yet. Use the July 2017 build of Lineage 14. There's a few bugs, but I use it just fine. Be sure you are using the correct version of TWRP. I think I had to downgrade TWRP to install Lineage 14.

Oh, alright. i didnt know i had to use a specific version of TWRP, so i guess thats also on the list lol. Do you think it would make a difference if my current rom was a stock TW rom, but deodexed, debloated, and rooted?

Nope. Your stock TW ROM doesn't needs to be deodexed, de-bloted or anything. Only thing you need is a custom TWRP recovery to flash the ROM.

it still doesnt work actually, ive tried both the LineageOS 14.1, 14.0, and the Resserection Reborn roms. none of them work with a deodexed and de-bloated rom.

You're probably doing something wrong if that's the case.
Check if:
- You're flashing images for the proper device (SM-G530T1/gprimelte),
- You're using ODIN or TWRP correctly,
- Your images are not corrupt (there are MD5 files with each build for md5 verification, and zip signature checks with TWRP),
- Your device is hardware unlocked via Developer Options in the stock ROM,
- FRP lock is disabled on your device.
Let me know if you get back to stock 5.1.1 because nothing works. Im forced to use june version of lineage 14.1
got back to a working stock 5.1.1

Yeah i have checked all of those to make sure, but it seems yo just not want to use any other roms. The only rom i got to work was a debloated deodexed rom. If yhere is any other thing you think im possibly screwing up on, please do tell, thanks!
I'm running a G900W8 on LineageOS 14.1. I'm having zero success rooting it using all methods I can find. Is this configuration un-rootable?

What are you trying to do? If the phone is running Lineage OS it should already be rooted. Are you getting some kind of root error?
Oreo has been released for the Canadian SM-G935W8 and prior to upgrading im curious if anyone has been able to root it
Im running a rooted version of 7 and don't want to upgrade if I lose root
I looked on XDA and various forums but cant seem to get a definite answer
Anyone?

Yeah I CANT seem to find a stable answer anywhere!
I ODIN flashed stock Oreo (lost root) after some issues installing un-stable ROM's cause I wanted Oreo earlier lol
I assumed it would be as normal steps?
1. Odin flash TWRP
2.Reboot recovery and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip & Magisk.zip
3.Flash ROM via TWRP????
Best of luck, hope someone reads this thread.
