I am posting here rather than on forum dedicated to my phone because that forum seems to be dead. This is a kind of a universal question. My phone has locked bootloader and therefore I am unable to root it without using custom engineering bootloader which makes Knox trigger and degrade performance by roughly sixty percent. If I flash custom Read Only Memory, will I be able to overcome this problem ?
Thanks in advance !

I have a S5 Active G870a on AT&T which I need to replace due to cracked glass and a flaky charging port. No SD card or root are deal breakers, so I think I am going to stay with the S5 Active. While pricing, I found the G870f variant and have a couple of questions about it...
1. Is the bootloader unlocked on the G870f?
1a. If so, does that mean it can go with TWRP w/o safestrap?
2. Most ROMs specifically point to G870a, are there any issues with using them on G870f (with, maybe, an additional kernel flash)?
3. Is anyone using the G870f on AT&T? Any issues or thoughts?
Thank you very kindly.
Sorry that I can't answer most of your questions, but I have an G870F rooted and with the TWRP recovery installed (Intended for the S5). I'd be happy to know if I'd be able to use mods intended for the AT&T phone, as well. And what wouöd happen if I installed the cyanogen mod for S5..

Hi.
Not a very useful title for a thread. Most everyone needs help or help in having a question answered...
And also your question isn't something to be answered clearly...
You could root your device. If you need it is your decision. Do you see clear benefits in it? Are you aware, that there is no way to do it without tripping knox atm?
Do you have a device with an exynos processor in the first place? If it is a snapdragon you could forget the whole idea of rooting at this point, because there is no way to root it atm.
ah.. okay. must have missed the device model type.. yes, you can root. you have the exynos...
I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you

I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.
Up need this rn

copied from this thread : [Discussion] Galaxy S7 Edge Root Information, Status and Methods
Rooting method for the Exynos 8890-based global devices including SM-G935F/FD/X and Canadian SM-G935W8:
[Recovery][Exynos][G935/F/FD/X/W8] Official TWRP for hero2lte (3.0.0-1)
WARNING: This will trip Knox and potentially void your warrant. Knox cannot be reset.
As for remote play, your ROM needs to support this feature.
Hi guys, I just got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G9500 (Duo SIM + Snapdragon Hong Kong Version).
I have already unlocked the bootloader (Tripped Knox of course, so bye bye to my warranty)
Since I am so new to the Samsung family, I have no idea how the FRP works.
So everytime I
(1)flash TWRP, root, and
(2)login to Google Account (I cannot live without Google),
the FRP is on
And EVERYTIME I reboot it, "Custom Binary (Boot) blocked by FRP lock" comes out
and I have to flash the OG filmware, which means all the root and data are gone.
So, does it means, you can root the device, but once you login to google, you are F**KED?
Please answer my questions my friends, it is a pain in the ass using the Samsung OS.
hello good Sir,
I'm using the exynos variant myself, so I don't know exactly how it all works on snapdragon, but I do know that you can find all the answers you are looking for in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-s8-snapdragon-t3636718
It's a lot to read, but maybe you can post your question there, if it is that urgent...
About you mentioning that Samsung OS would be a pain in the ass: There is no AOSP ROM for the snapdragon variant at this point in time (at least to my knowledge). Only few ROMs based on Stock Firmware.
Hope I could help and that you aren't too disappointed
It is fine... I am just feeling bad about losing warranty but not getting root access.
Any way to root without triggering TRP lock?
