[Q] rooting i337tuuboa1 advice needed

I have tried any and all 1 clicks i could find, attempted all old hacks i have from older root methods.
The only things i haven't tried are
• Exploits i did not find searching past 2 weeks every night for hours
• Anything that downgrades any software on phone
• Anything that installs custom recoveries
I am willing to downgrade and use an app like towelroot if it is possible, but with my firmware being from 2015, i'd be worried in following any downgrade methods (what few i have found for this phone) since none of them mention the ability to do it w/oa1.
to be honest, with such limited support for this phone in Google (especially since a 2015 kernel) I'm kind of scared doing anything major with it =/... I got the phone about 2 weeks ago, and have been trying to root it from day 1. The phone was a $0.99 phone from cricket to bribe me into staying with them( they just changed to GSM and screwed everyone over who had purchased a new phone recently, another story for a never to talk about time)
I would prefer to not trip Knox, but if it's a must then.... well... it's a must, isn't it...
any and all help would be highly appreciated.

Have you tried.motochopper? I'd give that a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40746664

Motochopper is a no go I tried it

Help unlocking, installing stock ROM on an S5

Hi, a friend has a Galaxy S5 (MetroPCS) he wanted me to unlock. He works at a hotel and any items found in rooms go to their "Lost and found" thing for a 60 day period. This was found and never claimed, so he wants to use it as his own. I've looked through it a bit and it appears it was used by a former drug dealer around town. Huzzah. Anyway.
It appears to already be rooted and has TWRP already installed, though still uses the stock ROM.
My questions are- How would I go about doing a fresh install on it? Also, is there a free way to unlock them or do I have to go through one of those unlock websites?
Here are the specs

Edit: I found this site, http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T1
I see there's a newer version with 5.1.1. Would I be able to flash that without any major issues instead of the one already on it?

Upgrade it using Smart Switch.

Just an update- I successfully used SmartSwitch to upgrade the phone, kudos for that.
Also ended up going through cellunlocker.net to unlock it. They even sent an unfreeze code with it.

Galaxy S5 SCL23 (SM-G900J)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.

Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)

Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?

Anyone?

Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?

I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps

Ready to root: Variant AT&T SM-G935A

Hoping someone might be able to share the latest with me , on what I am sure is a well-covered subject by now. I am familiar with ODIN panel from around 8 years ago, so I assume I will have to download both a working version of ODIN panel, as well as Root, TWRP, Recovery, and ROM, zips, and then use ODIN to flash the phone. It has just been a while And I am looking for a walk through, and links to the stuff I need. If' ChazzMatt is around maybe I can benefit from his mighty knowledge.
Thanks!
P.S. will rooting also kill the insistent SecurityLogAgent message "Unauthorized actions have been detected" message from returning as well?

Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935A Root...
I would also like to know how to root my Galaxy s7 Edge SM-G935A from AT&T. I've been looking with no success. I was hoping to upgrade firmware to either Lineage OS or Exynos but it's looking like this might not be possible due to the chip AT&T used not being flashable or something?
I was hoping to at least have root access in order to use some apps that require root. Lots of stuff for other G935_ phones with other carriers
Hope there's some replies... Thanks

Can't do custom ROMs since Snapdragon 820 bootloaders are locked down well, and haven't been unlocked to be able to flash a Custom ROM AFAIK.
But I do think you're able to root? Just know it will probably 'Trip your Knox counter'. I think you can use CF Auto-Root to to root it

How To Downgrade Moto G5 Plus?

Hey everyone,
I've spent time looking through the forum, but I just can't make sense of all the info on how to downgrade the OS on my phone to Android 7.
I need advice on the steps to take in order to downgrade and avoid problems.
Details:
GSM Unlocked
OS: 8.1.0
Current Build Version: OPSS28.85-17-6
Security Patch Level: Feb. 1, 2019
Hardware Information:
SKU: XT1687
Version: PVTB
It's been a headache ever since I've updated my phone--freezing, apps quitting... yea, you name it. Reset it to factory settings, but no improvement. Wasn't a problem before the update and I know OS updates can burden the hardware.
Been a lurker here for a while and you all have been a great source of help.
