I was with sprint for 15 years and part of the nexus or HTC brand ever since smart phone days. My first taste of rooting was the the HTC Evo on sprint.
I can help out with testing in anyway that I can, anything, to calm my nerves on not having a rooted phone for the first time in years.

Now that you're a member of the Verizon/Samsung family might as well get comfy not having root :silly:

Possible the only reason I'm on the fence for the s8+ and debating whether to hang around for Pixel2

It is for the exynos version. It will only work with an unlocked bootloader. The international version has a unlocked bootloader the US (snapdragon version) has a locked bootloader.

It shows the Verizon variant in the list. Root doesn't require an unlocked bootloader, kernel mods do though. My GS5 was rooted from the day I got it. But only recently did the bootloader become unlocked to allow kernel/source modification. Just wondering why the Verizon variant would be listed if Chainfire's method doesn't work for it

The CF-Auto-Root supports the following Galaxy S8 Plus models:
SM-G955F
SM-G955U
SM-G955N
SM-G955W
I realize there's a chance he doesn't know the details but it was listed on the 3rd so just bringing it up.

Root using CF Autoroot requires an unlocked bootloader. So it is a no go on the SM-G955U. Your GS5 was a totally different animal than the newer Samsung devices. CF Auto Root modifies the kernel to achieve root.

I'm on T-moble I guess there getting this phone. There track record for locked bootloader are becoming more and more prevalent... Does anyone know???
Wish it would be, but highly doubt it'll be unlocked. Need to get hands on one...
The V10 and G5 both had unlocked bootloaders. I currently have both. But still cannot push any fastboot commands.
Not saying the V20 will be Unlocked but the chances are high.
I really don't have issues with my G5 other than after the latest 10D my fingerprint reader sleeps/doesn't respond as well as with the initial software. But the V20 apparantly to me is the G5 part 2. I can imagine what the G6 will be like.
LG V10 has been out a year now?
And there isn't a single good ROM for it.
How's that for track record.

The T-Mobile G5 only has a modded stock ROM...so its in the same boat.
New devices come out too frequently these days, there's not enogh time for rom to be cooked....
That's to bad about the roms here. I'm spoiled since there are so many roms, kernels, mods, etc. over in the Nexus forums...
Speaking of root, G5, V10 (6.X), and V521 (G Pad X 8.0) have fastboot flash/boot commands disabled. However, all we need is pre-rooted .tot or .dz file flashed with LGUP. @tungkick may help us on this. If so, I will get it and trade in my V10.
Yes my G5 is Rooted but I'm sure the V20 will get cracked the same way.

The T-Mobile V10 has a few Roms. Including CM.
Since I'm with Verizon, the chances of their V20 being able to be rooted or unlocked is pretty slim since they always lock their stuff down. But there is root on the Note 7, which is shocking.

I believe it is a true root method, not an engineering kernel with with the S7 root method. But since the Note 7 still has a locked bootloader, can't install TWRP or a Custom ROM.

It is only Root using leaked Sprint firmware. It is specific to that leaked firmware version so you can't upgrade to a new release unless a leaked version of that new release is leaked again. It is better than nothing but not a great option either.

I didn't go with the Note5 last year due to no memory card slot. Then looked at the Moto Z Force, but since it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, and since my Note 4 still takes better videos, I didn't go with it. So I waited on the Note 7, tried it out a few times in the stores, felt fragile to me with the glass back, and now with the battery issues, I decided to wait on the V20 or whatever else is coming out later this year.
Just got a brand new verizon S7 (since my aunt did not want it). I am on Tmobile and have no plans to change to Verizon. I popped in my Tmo sim and it works, but I guess I am still missing Band 12 and maybe wifi calling. It has been a while since I have done custom roms and rooting. I would appreciate some pointers as these are my criteria
1) Need all the bands possible to be used on Tmobile
2) Samsung Pay and android Pay
3) Root is not required for what I do and sometimes my wortk email will not install when it snifs root. (it used to on my S5 2 years ago)
Right now I am on G930VVRS4APH1 (BASEBAND VERSION and build)
Looking for advise on what I should do. I read too much and am confused about being in bootloader V3 or V4 and not able to get back . I am familiar with Odin and TWRP etc, but have notg kept up with the community. With my S6 I have mostly stayed stock.
Help me out folks if you can and especially with links and what firmware and ROM to install.

Don't root if you need this. Samsung Pay gets disabled permanently when Knox is tripped, and Android Pay doesn't work when rooted.

Wrong. Pls give out accurate information. Knox never gets tripped as the kernel we use doesn't check dm-verity. So you Knox will not get tripped . But Sammy pay will not work with root. However Android Pay will work , use cloak from xposed. [emoji12] [emoji318]

Don't use U fw it sucks! Has no doze which is the main battery saver built into MM. Force doze does not cut it. I suggest you flash a rom with working doze whatever you flash. Good luck and Merry Christmas to you.

I was in your situation as well , since I got a Verizon Galaxy S7 from a deal at Best Buy , but I needed to used it on T-Mobile . I believe I successfully flashed the latest APK1 T-mobile firmware (latest one from early November) . I am able to use WiFi calling and MMS , but I haven't tried video calling yet. Looks like I'm getting 4g LTE speeds also (I live in suburban part of Los Angeles).
Use this post from XDA forum to find the latest firmware version :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/one-stock-t-mobile-930-firmware-t3520525
I also used this guide as well :
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2016/06/Ho...al-Firmware-on-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-S7-Edge.html
However, I suggest d/l 'ing the USB drivers from Samsung website directly, instead of the source cited in that website (seems suspicious). Also, having SmartSwitch on the PC saves so much time to backup your current phone's contents, believe me!
Hope that helps.

I actually need to do the exact same thing but my Verizon S7 is on the G930VVRU4API3, so from my understanding the U firmware i need to flash is the G930UUEU4API3?
just a tad bit off topic here, but i'm on tmobile right now with a tmo version S7 and wondering if it will work on Verizon if i unlock the phone?
I'm about to buy an international G935F Galaxy s7 edge. And sell my Tmobile usa g935t, all this because I want real full root, twrp, rom development, etc...
I've never had an international version before and want to verify rooting a G935f is possible even currently today (may 2017) with all current updates. I'm assuming when I get it (I'll be buying a used device second hand online) the previous owner will undoubtedly factory reset it and/or simply Odin a fresh current firmware.
Assuming that's the case, rooting a G935f should be fine and can be done right?
Are there any differences between the 935f versions? Do I need to ask any questions before hand? Should I be looking for anything specific? Specific quirks, etc....
I do live in the usa, I'll be using Tmobile usa on the device exclusively. I do not travel... I'm only buying the international variant strictly to get real full root, twrp, and rom development.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you for reading.

No problem rooting G935F. I have the same phone.
I'm one of those users who can't live without rooting. I actually risk my phone warranty by rooting within 1 week from purchase. I've done this for all my phones, fortunately nothing bad yet happened that will need warranty repairs.
I'm using Tasker with Secure Settings for automation. Also Xposed for modifying system such as status bar and dpi among others.
Is there any issue using the G935F on tmobile? Does the 4x4 MIMO work? All the LTE/radio bands work for Tmobile?

It had a bunch of overheating issues and i think some features may have been mia. the same exploit isn't available here, yet, because it relied on an early build of the 935u model, and there is no such build found for these phones, yet.

It used a special engineering kernel. That is purchased by certified Samsung repair shops. It was basically worthless. It made the phone run so poorly.

I actually think if we get either root or bootloader unlock we will get both. With how Samsung has the device locked down it is going to take someone finding a new vulnerability that allows to unlock the bootloader or root the device. But it could take a long time to find. Too many lines of code to even count.
Other option is the someone at Samsung releases the kernel source code or some sort of bootloader unlocking software. Right there is a group of debs working hard at it but they are not close. I'm rooting for them but I would not hold your breath.
Also most of the new phone will never get root anymore. LG, Motorola, Google, Samsung, HTC all are going to be completely locked down this year.

I've seen the term "temp root" going around. What is that exactly? I want to move a user app into my system folder to make it a system app, and I believe I need root to do this. Is there any way this is possible to do without a full root and bootloader unlocked?
No. "System" is read only.

With a unlocked bootloader, you can do an official CF Auto Root right now.

Do they physically touch the device and do it in front of you? Or does it come out of the box unlocked? I'm trying to see what I can dig up.

I have Sprint and was going to go today to get a new phone. Is there a particular firmware version i should look for ? Or is there a range of firmwares i can check for to make sure i will be able to root it when i get home? i def want to be able to root my new phone but last time when i got my new s8 ans s9 the firmwares were pre updated and i was unable to root either of them. Thanks in advance for any help!
None of the US models can currently be rooted and as far as I'm aware the international models aren't compatible with Sprint since it's a CDMA carrier.
If root is important to you then you should probably look at purchasing a different phone.

I have Sprint and was going to go today to get a new phone. Is there a particular firmware version i should look for ? Or is there a range of firmwares i can check for to make sure i will be able to root it when i get home? i def want to be able to root my new phone but last time when i got my new s8 ans s9 the firmwares were pre updated and i was unable to root either of them. Thanks in advance for any help!

check this out
remember: in order to get root use magisk 19.3 patched ap only for now. v20 isn't working properly with sd855 devices for the moment. that's my experience.
if you have random reboots after rooting check this out:

That's why you shouldn't buy an US version. I'm from Germany and I'll never buy a mobile phone from there anymore. Especially not from Samsung. My actually galaxy s10+ is from Hong Kong. Waited 2 weeks for it. Snapdragon 855 instead of exynos. Bootloader unlocked, rooted.
Just check if baseband frequencies are supported. There is a cool app out there called spectify. Check it out
Well they ended up replacing my s9 w insurance instead of upgrading me. So aparently I need to find a guide for SamFail I assume?
