Samsung Galaxy S8 SG-950F Root? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi, I am planning on buying a samsung s8 from my service provider, however I would like to remove some carrier apps that come with the phone and have no way to remove them without root. Is there anyway to root this device?

Never mind I've answered my own question
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Edit: I thought that was going to remove the apps including cache and storage spaces, didn't read enough before replying, so my question still stands, is there any root for 950f? in all honesty it does not have to be permanent as long as I'm able to remove the apps.

Rooting RC33 with SIM Unlock?

Hi,
I currently have a SIM Unlocked G1 on the Rogers network in Canada, and I want to root it to install unsigned apps. I've seen tutorials all over the place for rooting a G1, but what I want to know is if I will lose my SIM unlock or not. I already had a close call when I did a factory reset, but a little bit of quick thinking on my part fixed that problem.
I just wanted to find out before I go and have to spend another $20-$30 for another code.
Thanks in advance!

The answer is 'no'. If this wasn't self-evident to begin with (and/or you were too disinclined to use the Search function) then I suggest you NOT root.

Can you read anything other than how to register an account? There are stickies that have been out since the beginning of time that details what you can and cannot do, for all phones that have root. Your question is so broad, that a Google search can answer your question. You're also in the wrong forum, and most of your other posts are begging for help/spam.

Start here: http://lifehacker.com/5789397/the-always-up-to-date-guide-to-rooting-any-android-phone
Bottom line, rooting gives you access to system areas of your phone so you can make changes that you otherwise could not. But you should know that a rooted phone is a greater security risk.

Replacement S5 with 5.0, BOG5, am I out of luck to root? Any way to remove bloat?

Done some searching through the threads and I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything new. Build number is BOG5. Can I downgrade that and root? Or am I out of luck?
Are there workarounds for removing bloatware? Thanks.

Sorry but OG5 can't be root. You're out of luck for now.
For de-bloat junks, check out this - Install the software to your PC, then connect your phone and click on read the device, put a check next to the app that you want to block, hit apply. If the app can't be blocked, you could use remove option (put a check mark to the option on the top), however be careful with what you want to remove.

Out of curiosity, why can't OG5 be rooted?

Because they patched all the security holes that allow us to sneak in root!! Started from OE1 then OG5. Anything previous to those 2, it can be rooted.
Is there a way to load in an earlier or rooted ROM using Odin? I just found myself in the same situation.

Can I ask why you had to create another thread about this? A simple search for this would save a lot of clutter..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/bounty-verizon-samsung-galaxy-note5-sm-t3191974
I have been looking...I saw that thread but apparently its just a collection of people wanting the same thing but it does not state anyone has take up the offer, so I was not sure if they did it privately...dont make assumptions...I have been looking..tks

You want the same thing as they do too so how is your thread any better than that one?
This thread is essentially the same thing as that one but on that 1 they are keeping track of all the money offered.
Also, if it does get root, you won't be flashing cwm or twrp any time soon and if you were to do that with the bootloader locked, you'll brick the phone. There's a way to obtain root with the bootloader locked it just needs to be found.
Or..... You know... Just download package disable pro??? It uses Knox to remove it. You can just as easily bring it back... And use adguard to get rid of ads

Apps for root exploits?????

Hello everyone and I have a few quick questions. I will admit first that I am still using my AT&T Galaxy S5 and have been doing so for 4 years. I've recently been thinking about a new phone, and needing one since my battery sucks now. So, I'm looking at the Note9. On my S5 I was able to get a form of root access through an app named TowelRoot. I know I can't get full root on an AT&T phone but are there any other apps or workarounds to allow SU abilities on the Note9? My other questions is if there is not a way to get SU abilities, is there a version of Xposed, TB or anything similar that doesn't require root/SU to use the Xposed modules? Pardon if I overlooked threads with possible answers but I wanted to ask for any insight and or information. Thank you much.

Unfortunately no, they have their phones locked down. However you can get a Chinese variant, or international variant and get full root.

Ah man, that sucks. Thank you for the information and I'll try to figure out something soon.
What changed is that now there is something called secure boot that checks for root on startup so even if a app can root it wouldn't boot so its pointless so they stopped being developed
In case you haven't seen this thread yet, there is hope.
