Hi all ive jumped from my old reliable s3 to an s8 and am now looking to root.
From what ive seen there is no easy way like there was with the s3.
Is that right?
I have the smg950f.

Please don't be lazy and use the search function of this site and use google. This thread is all there is about your phone. Read all of it. Don't expect someone else to read everything for you, good luck.
I have seen a post about the Samsung Tab A and Rooting. This was about a month and half ago. I was wondering if there was a way to root the device. I know it is still a fairly new device.
Thanks for advice in advance

You can just go to www.supersu.com and find a tutorial on how to do it. I want to tell you all of the steps but it is a tedious process so I hope I helped!

Sorry to ask the dumb question. I see a lot of roms and kernels already made, but I'm reading in various threads that root is not yet available for the S7 Edge, so I"m a bit confused.
Are we able to root the s7 edge? I haven't gotten it yet but will soon.
Thanks!

Yes it's easy if you've got the right model but impossible if you don't

If you have the t-mobile version twrp doesn't work
S7 Edge Plus?
Can you please provide a link as to where you acquired it as well as the exact model of the device?
If it's Qualcomm, you're probably SOL.

I was gonna ask the same question. S7 edge plus???
Lol. Did i miss something? Did Apple buy Samsung and make a new update to the s7 edge?
I got excited when at first clance i saw twrp for s7 edge. Saying to my self, " Its a Thanksgiving Day Miracle."

Yeah, I don't believe that there is such a thing as S7 Edge Plus.
On an unrelated note, what rom are you using galaxyuser88? I don't recognize it from your signature.
@OP
There is no custom recovery. No TWRP. No custom kernels either. We install roms via Flashfire... of which... there is only one (so far) to flash.
No. You cannot install roms from other carriers (unless they are intended to be universal) or for other S7 devices.
No. There hasn't been any progress on changing any of the aforementioned.
Yes. All of this can be found here in the forum if you're willing to search and read.

Its a rom iam currently working on. Its using alot of note7 stuff that overdrive was working on before the whole fireball and recall. Unfortunatly i was hoping that me and overdrive could make something good for the s7, but he decided to leave sammy and get an lg v20. So iam trying to do it in the limited time i have between work and side jobs. Hopefully soon ill have a working rom..

Well... I believe that this community might welcome an another rom to chose from.
Even if it is incomplete. Just a suggestion.

Agreed, but right now i am having an issue with sys.ui . Iam trying to get it working without any sys.ui fc, i hate posting anything with those type of problems due to the fact that many user on here do nothing but complain about fc even if you tell them that doing this or that will cause an fc and not to do it. We went thru this on the note 7 rom we started to work on.

100% agreement with you there!
And if you don't have much free time to work on it, it'll be too stressful to provide support for.
Maybe it would get posers to learn how to be ACTUAL power users, and fix stuff themselves.... Good learning tool!

Yeah that would be nice. But Some XDA user have gotten to the point that they want everything to work. Otherwise they complain and the most common response you get it. "Why is the dev posting something that is not working 100 %." , " Why doesn't this rom have this or that" or my favorite " I need this or that app in this rom to work. ( this is more towards being rooted and needing to have sammy pay or android pay working) ".
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?

We should try this. It looks like a dedicated site for samsung phone.
If you success, let us know.

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.
