Hi all, I recently bought the Note 3 and it is the 1st Samsung device I've owned. So I'm not familiar with Samsung devices. I searched in this forum but there is no FAQ topic to start up. Now I want to root my phone and then flash custom ROM/custom recovery etc... What I have to do before start? Unlock something? Backup whatever?
Please kindly show me all steps need to do beforehand, or show me the topic I should read before start.
Thanks so much.

so I got a Galaxy s5 in august. The phone is awesome as is, but I really want it rooted. I tried towelroot, but that failed because my phone runs on kitkat 4.4.4. I then tried Odin3 v1.85 to attempt it. This didn't work either. What other things can I try?
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For reply or more questions please register an account on XDA forums.
Stand by
Until then read carefully this thread: [HOW TO][ALL VARIANTS][19/11/ Gain root, custom recovery, prep for modding on your S5
Good luck
Hello,
Generally rooting a samsung device is fairly generic. However before I suggest a method I need to know the model number and variant of it you're using. Some devices have locked bootloaders which may require a different method to avoid damaging the device.
Hello everyone! I always had rooted all my devices and now just upgraded my note3 to note 4 and I really can't find a safe way to root the note 4n910f with the latest official updates on him (5.1.1 COI3 ). Any advice for a safe root method? Thank you all!
What do you mean by safe ? Are you talking about rooting without triggering know? If so then not possible for 5.1.1 atm and most likely not gonna happen.
Other then that just check out the rooting guides.
Hello,
I just rooted my G930V, and I am looking for TWRP. I tried to flash couple of them, but they gave errors. Can somebody share the link for G930V TWRP?
Thanks!

You can't, your bootloader is locked

How is that possible? There is Lineage OS for G930V. I mean someone must have unlocked it already.

Nope, all US snapdragon S7s are bootloader locked, no Lineage OS for it afaik, just look in the Snapdragon ROM development forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nels-recoveries--other-development-snapdragon
Now look in the Exynos dev forums

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out how to install LineageOs on my Galaxy S7 SM-G930V (Verizon) but as far as I understand this is just not possible? And there is no other customrom either for this type?
Thanks

It's not possible dont waste your time possibly bricking your devices, there's no bootloader unlock and probably never will be...
Flashfire

You can install twrp using FlashFire after flashing the ENG_BOOT image. It works on 7.0, not sure about Oreo.

Ok so I am a mom of 3 including an infant and exhausted trying to figure this out. Trying not to clog the board opening a new thread. Long story short- I want to use an app that the developer has not been able to fix the errors with it when using Nougat on an S7. They suggested I upgrade to Oreo or Pie to fix this. I have an unlocked phone purchased outright on eBay and use Total Wireless. So there will be no one to assist me in this. I'm fairly tech savvy so I looked on YouTube about rooting and upgrading with a custom ROM.
I watched these videos:
sorry new cannot post
So easily I enabled developer options and OEM unlock and USB debugging. Downloaded Odin and Magisk and no verity and Gapps and lineage 16.0 (from Ivan Meler) and twrp with the twrp-3.3.1-0-heroqltechn.img.tar file which I determined is which one I needed.
Odin will not flash TWRP (one of the first steps). Fails every time. It does start blue and I did download and install the latest Samsung drivers package just to be sure.
Then I found it was probably because I had a locked bootloader. So, I used this tut and that did successfully download to my phone via Odin. But TWRP still will not "flash" to the phone.
Now, my fingerprint sensor says "The fingerprint sensor is not responding, please try again later". and my phone has a security notice stating "unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone and undo any unauthorized changes". So I am thinking that I did successfully unlock the bootloader? But TWRP still will not flash.
I considered using oneclickroot.com but it's $40, phone only worth about $100, and my husband is convinced they're going to steal info from my computer and phone in the process (even thought they're XDA endorsed). They also told me they can only give me Oreo not Pie.
I have downloaded and used SuperBackup. Also all my photos are auto backed up to Google and my contacts and calendar are too. So I don't think it's a huge deal if I lose everything. Even if I brick it I can get another. Reinstalling and relogging into all my apps will be a pain but whatever. I have a password app that can be logged into from the web.
Also my camera has been getting buggy and not opening and having to be restarted and in general the phone is just getting glitchy, so I was hoping an upgrade might help.
All the info I have:
Model G930V Ver 7.0
Baseband G930VVRS4BQC9
Build NRD0M.G930VVRS4BQC9
Knox 2.7.1
When I enter developer mode:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product name: SM-G930V
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FAP lock: Off
Qualcomm secureboot: enable
AP SWREV B4(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S3
Secure Download: enable
My startup screen where it says Galaxy S7 powered by Android also now has an unlocked lock icon and says "custom" underneath.
Should I just figure out how to "undo" what I did and leave it alone? I'd really like to use the eMeals app and I'd really like to not buy a new phone.
Hello Everyone
I've been searching for some information regarding galaxy s7 edge at&t but i cannot find specific info related upgrading this phone from nougat 7.0 to oreo 8.0 ? My phone is unlocked so i'm using different carrier but i believe bootloader of the phone is still locked so i cannot flash custom recovery or custom roms. My intention is flashing official oreo 8.0. What is the official oreo for this model ? Actually there are some that i found on the forum but i'm a bit confused which one it is. Is it possible to flash official oreo 8.0 without unlocking bootloader via odin ( people say you cannot unlock bootloader of U.S. versions ) ? If it is possible how can i flash it ? will be appreciated for any suggestions .
Thank you
Search for androidfilehost on google enter the site and search for G935A and you could use the first file , i'm currently using it (you'll need odin if you want to flash it , if you want any help ask) Have fun!
