How to root my Samsung galaxy j5 android marshmallow without pc
If you have a custom recovery then you won't need a pc, like twrp or something but since your asking I doubt you have a custom recovery.
You don't need a PC to root but you do need it to unlock your bootloader which is used to flash files to give you root.
You first need to unlock the boot loader with a PC and then you can do what you want, other than that I wouldn't recommend or advise any other way

Try kingoroot pc version works 100% with 5.1.1 n910v
But remember this will give you only temporary root
Once you reboot device the root will be gone
Bootloader is locked in n910v
There is a method you can get permanent root in verizon note 4 thread to unlock bootloader via adb method
If you unlock bootloader after that you can install twrp recovery and flash custom roms
Don't ever try cf auto root it won't work and it may brick your device.

I was able to root once and run the script and it changed the CID or whatever it was. Now I simply cannot get temp root at all to finish the bootloader unlock process. Tried PC version and Android version so many times now it just reboots and reboots.

You must flash any rom once you unlocked bootloader cuz unlocking will mess up your system so you cannot boot into system anymore.
Flash 5.1.1 stock firmware and start unlocking bootloader process from beginning
I'm using zuk z1,android 5.1.1,a normal device as it is from manufacturer.I want to root my device. As I am newbie I got a doubt, does unlocking bootloader means rooting device? After I unlocked my bootloader with help of my computer,can I directly install TWRP manager app from play store and flash TWRP recovery with that app?l don't want to flash it by PC as I don't know much about it. Can I flash supersu with smartphone itself.
No. Until you don't install KingoRoot Or SuperSU. Your phone is not permanently rooted. Rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking, a means of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved apps, deleted unwanted bloatware, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize anything and so on.

Well, I believe that using the manager won't make any difference with flashing it using a PC. And once you have flashed the recovery, reboot into it and in my case, when I was trying to reboot to system from TWRP it popped a message and told me that your phone is not rooted- Do you want to root and install SuperSU? And that's how I rooted mine. However after booting into the system you might want to update the SuperSU and the binary to the latest version!
Try it! Hope it'll solve the issue. Feel free to ask any doubts! Because that's what we do here at XDA!
I brought a OnePlus 6t and immediately unlocked the bootloader. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't as I'm not really sure I need root.
But now I have, I need to root to use various apps now that I have unlocked the bootloader.
When I first rooted it, I didn't install twrp but can't remember what I did and cant find any guides.
Can anyone let me know what process I need to root without installing twrp please?

Boot in fastboot mode, then temporarily boot into TWRP (fastboot boot TWRPimage.img) and flash magisk zip and reboot system.
P.s. "boot" command does not permanently flash the image.

Here is the complete guide
If you need root without twrp you can patch the boot image for root access
Hello.... so I am pretty new to the whole root thing I have rooted 2 devices in the past but they were relatively easy to root. One was an s4 which all I did was download towelroot and run it and bam root. The other was a moto z3 play which I had to unlock bootloader, enter fastboot, flash twrp then flash magisk manager and then bam root. But with this s8 I am so lost like I have no idea how to unlock the bootloader since there is no OEM unlock thing in development options and I have never once used Odin so I have no clue how to use it. If there is someone out there that has rooted this device and can walk me through rooting it I would very very much so appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi!
There are plenty of threads here how to root.
Just look around.
Also, your phone's bootloader cannot be unlocked.
I'm a newbie to this, so I'll be very very grateful if I get step by step instructions. I need to do all of this without a PC (don't have access to one), so please help me out!
So after getting my new mobile (4gb if that matters) today, I was thinking of using Kingo root to root, then use Flashify to flash TWRP, new ROM, Magisk, and Viper. Please guide me!
First you need to unlock bootloader with help of PC then flash twrp and take backup of old rom and flash new rom. You cannot root without unlocked bootloader.
