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.

I see. Too bad. It isnt popular enough for anyone to root it.
So I shouldn't try this?

Has anyone tried the root mentioned in the above post?
i do not recommend anyone try root from that link. that is a clickbait site and none of the information there is substantiated.
keep away unless you want a brick.
Any update on this? Ive been trying to root my SM-G892U but there's nothing out there.

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 am looking at getting a gear 2 or gear fit. If I root/install a custom rom, any ideas if it will still be able to sync with my phone?

I was under the impression that it will be nearly impossible to root the Verizon S5?

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 it still possible to root Verizon Galaxy Note 3? I am no longer able to root my Verizon Note 2 because of 4.4.2. And I am thinking of getting a new phone because of it.
I like the large size. I watch a lot of videos. I like the S pen but could live without it.
I heard that Note 4 will be out soon. Does anyone know if there will be a root for that? Probably not out yet, but I thought I would ask
Thanks
Michael

It's rootable with TowelRoot. You should be able to root your Note 2 with TowelRoot as well. https://towelroot.com/

Sir Bindy,
Do you know if https://towelroot.com/ is safe? I received "tr.apk is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous".
Thanks for your continued support

It is safe. I just used it on a replacement Note 3 that I got and didn't have any issues. Most apk's you download will prompt that warning based on certain security settings in your browser.

Are there any roms you would recommend? Jasmine sounds great, but what is possible with a 4.4.2 note 3? Root but is that all?
I'm coming from a locked bootloader S3, never got to experience the joy of having custom Roms...

Hi All,
I'm having trouble finding a guide for my exact version of my 6 Edge Plus. My Baseband version is G928VVRU2BPD4. I have found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/guide-6-0-1-g928fxxs2bpd2-t3371526) but I'm not sure if it will work for me?
If someone could point me in the correct direction, or let me know if the guide that I linked to above will work for me - I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
I have the same phone and did not see my exact model on CF Auto-Root.
Anyone have any information regarding a easy root for this phone? SM-G928V

Most Verizon devices can't be rooted....
Old thread, I know, but I'm desperate. Is it still the case that this Verizon model can't be rooted? No way around it? I need to root my phone in order to do a deep scan for deleted files.

I'm also looking for a root all over the internet, Why is this model not being looked into anymore? i know the phones 2 years old, but cmon. I assume it cant be rooted because of the bootloader being locked tighter then fort knox itself. Verizon devices are notorious for having extra security.
Finally Root
Hey man, i finally got root for SM-G928V, this soluction is the app Wondershare MobileGo (PC), he have a built-in root application.

Wait what? please elaborate, The program you speak of costs money and i doubt your claims. If a root is possible it would of been posted here already.
+1 - does this Wondershare Mobile Go really works for G928V?

Nope. I downloaded it, does nothing. Cant even detect my phone. Its a waste of time. The bootloader cannot be unlocked on this model because of Verizon and no one is working on a root method because the device is already too old. Im going to sell it and upgrade to a S7 edge. Right now you can get a used S7 edge on ebay for under $250. Just avoid the verizon models.
Hi, my name is Kit and I am having trouble locating information on how to root the specific model for my phone.
Phone:Samsung Galaxy S5
Model:SM-S903VL
Carrier: Straight Talk
Android Version: 6.0.1
Baseband Version: S903VLUDU4APH3
Kernal Version:
3.4.0-8867563
[email protected] #1
Wed Aug 10 18:39:36 KST 2016
Build Number: MMB29M.S903VLUDU4APH3
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I have tried looking about and only found a Chinese Website that mentioned the Firmware.
I am not sure if there isn't a root or if I am simply misunderstanding how to do something.
Please and thank you for taking time to try to help me.
Sorry for the double post and bump, but it has been a few days, and my topic seemed to be drifting away from page 1 and 2.
I still do need assistance if anyone can help.
Please and thank you.
I would like information too just got this phone and would like to root if possible.
same here, theres hardly any info about this phone.
I want this so hard

Do you guys have an app for this device, Samsung Video, that just refuses to update?

Yep! I assumed it was from the fact that I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 before this phone. And I used that phone to restore my apps from. It says about Samsung Video (S4 & Note3) I believe for me.
Any ideas?

I haven't seen the beaming service app refuse to update. I'm not sure why it's doing this. The only thing I can assume is the new version of Samsung Video in the app store isn't compatible with the Galaxy S5 (or the installed firmware), and that somebody in quality control wasn't doing their due diligence.
I've been really happy with this phone so far, just wish I could root it. I haven't tried any suggested methods yet, I'm waiting to see what successes other people are having first before I brick my phone (I'm chicken!). I've been following this thread as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...p-rooting-straight-talk-s5-sm-s903vl-t3503505
Just got this phone about a month or so ago and I can't find anything about rooting it. It is very frustrating because everyone keeps ignoring posts about this phone and it then drifts away and nothing gets answered. I have tried the @kxhan15 's method on root a similar version from Straight Talk but fails in ODIN trying to flash TWRP. I really wish someone would come to the rescue with an answer!
I don't know if there is some other information I can provide that may help or where else to look for assistance. In all honesty I just feel useless having to wait.
Give us root! Dev gods hear our cries!
I have these files. Anyone know what to do to make it into root?

Doesn't the TowelRoot v3 app let you modify some code to let you use it with phones that are not yet compatible? I looked into it but I don't quite understand it.
Hopefully someone is working on it behind the scenes and is just keeping it under wraps.
Maybe it will be a holiday present for us! Wishful thinking though.

I just got this phone I see several people saying it's able to root but I can't find the method for my model.
Please help!

This appears to have all the information needed to root this device. I didn't try myself since not being able to use a custom recovery due to the locked bootloader leaves little to be enjoyed.

At&t s7 edge can be rooted but the bootloader cannot be unlocked. So no twrp and no custom roms.
