Samsung S8 root for Android 9 Pie? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I see many threads about rooting Samsung S8 device (Exynos) but couldn't find the one for the newest Android 9 Pie.
My apologies if I somehow missed it, does anyone have a guide on how to do it on Pie version?
Thanks in advance

Note 4 and Marshmellow 6.0...

Hello all,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am on the phone and it is difficult to find my way around the forum like this.
Anyone knows if Note 4 is going to have a Marshmellow firmware update at some point?
Cheers and thank you

Most probably in this month (march) or the next one.
I´ve tried 6.0 in CM13. It´s great, but I can´t live without Note features. And I have a Sview Cover wich only works with TW.
I find odd that Samsung is releasing 5.1.1 releases still, according to this page:

but 6.0.??? which we would want....zilch!!!!

Help getting Verizon S7 edge on final beta of Nougat...

Hey there guys. I was hoping to get some help. I have been searching around online and on YouTube but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I have the g935v Verizon variant of the s7 edge. It's on 6.0.1 and latest software updates through verizon.
I just received it and it looks like I missed the boat because Samsung pulled the beta program for nougat but I was hoping to come across something to get that final beta installed on my phone. I don't have a PC, but I have a Mac Pro. Does anybody know how to get the most recent nougat build installed on my phone using either just the phone itself or my Mac computer? I would be eternally grateful.
wait...... when samsung release OTA....(No more than 3 week......)
also ..... there is ROMs development...
Last I heard it would be December and that's come and gone. I don't want to sit around and wait if I don't have to.
Anyone else?

No idea dude. I've got King Nougat v6 flashed and honestly this rom is on point.
Tried every rom on here and this one has no issues. Best bet until all the official files are floating around everywhere.
Save you some time digging around looking for what you need. I spent too long last night doing just that :laugh:

Ok cool. Forgive my noobness but it's been a few years since I've rooted and flashed a rom. Do you have a link on how to do it on a Mac?

Obviously V5 will not work since your oreo update is v6
There is a post in the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge subject here in XDA with full stock firmware, i can´t post the link because i´m new here.
I used that one and works like a charm.

S5 SM-G900F ROM, Magisk and Updates?

Hi Guys,
I wasnt entirely sure where to start this topic. but here we go...
I have the Alexdnr 6 ROM, which has been great for a few years now, setup with Magisk in the ROM, the usual. I see Magisk mentions updates, etc. Question is, does the latest Magisk 23(?) apply to the S5 G900F? This particular ROM? Assuming the update is applicable, worth doing?
Been reading some threads, but nothing concrete enough to make me give it a try.
Thanks all for any info or suggestions

Wow, I guess the S5 forums really have slowed down! lol...

Yes, I think most S5 users have moved on...sadly. Still some great builds happening though. I'm currently using Lineage 18.1 with microG. Flawless. My other favorite builds are e rom (ungoogled)

Yes, the update works, if that what you're asking. It's up to you to decide if it's worth updating or not. Perhaps check out the Magisk changelogs?
Thanks guys, I appreciate it I may end up getting an S10+ in the near future... so I guess I better start reading that forum, heh.
