I have Sprint and was going to go today to get a new phone. Is there a particular firmware version i should look for ? Or is there a range of firmwares i can check for to make sure i will be able to root it when i get home? i def want to be able to root my new phone but last time when i got my new s8 ans s9 the firmwares were pre updated and i was unable to root either of them. Thanks in advance for any help!
None of the US models can currently be rooted and as far as I'm aware the international models aren't compatible with Sprint since it's a CDMA carrier.
If root is important to you then you should probably look at purchasing a different phone.

check this out
remember: in order to get root use magisk 19.3 patched ap only for now. v20 isn't working properly with sd855 devices for the moment. that's my experience.
if you have random reboots after rooting check this out:

That's why you shouldn't buy an US version. I'm from Germany and I'll never buy a mobile phone from there anymore. Especially not from Samsung. My actually galaxy s10+ is from Hong Kong. Waited 2 weeks for it. Snapdragon 855 instead of exynos. Bootloader unlocked, rooted.
Just check if baseband frequencies are supported. There is a cool app out there called spectify. Check it out
Well they ended up replacing my s9 w insurance instead of upgrading me. So aparently I need to find a guide for SamFail I assume?

SM-G9750, Hong Kong variant (unlocked bootloader) works on Sprint, Band 25, 1900 MHz.

Hey everyone,
I am currently running a straight talk variant galaxy s5, which is exactly the same as the verizon variant s5, just without the locked bootloadet. I know this for a couple of reasons.
1. I was able to root and flash twrp via Odin without safestrap.
2. I can boot into recovery without safestrap.
3. I can flash roms and make back ups in twrp without safestrap.
4. I can flash any verizon variant s5 rom, and they work flawlessly.
I have read, on galaxys5root.Com that cm 13 will work on all the s5 variants, except for Verizon and at&the due to there locked bootloaders. My question is this, if the locked bootloader was the only issue preventing cm 13 from working on a verizon variant s5, how hard would it be to port it without a locked bootloader? Or is there already a version of cm13 out for Verizon s5 variant?
In fact before I flashed a rom my phones model number said sm-s902L now it says sm-g900v. Not only that but YouTube before I flashed a rom would only let me play upto 720p, now it let's me play upto 1080p. And it's not a type o, it is actually playing in 1080p. It also recognizes and let's me over clock the full quad core processor. And I can verify that I bought this straight talk s5 from Walmart directly, and unboxed it out of a a walmart /straight talk box. What I think is that this really IS a verizon s5 sm-g900v, just with straight talk software on it, which gives it the unlocked bootloader.

On your phone go to settings => about phone and look at the build and baseband numbers. If they read SMG900VV you have a locked bootloader. If there is a KLTE in the build and baseband number your bootloader is not locked. If you bought your phone at a Verizon store or a retail outlet such as best buy, you most likely have a locked bootloader.

They say that the "klte" version is a generic gsm build. I don't know if that will work. I know I would have to add the vzw apn's, but i am also concerned about the radio files and modem that are in that build

Oops, I forgot about all the klte variants. I guess you would be looking for a build for the kltevzw. The CM thread says if your device is not listed to use the generic klte build, but I don't think I would chance that.

I am getting set to do the same - and it looks like there is a version for Verizon Gs5.
Scratch that - looks like there are no Verizon builds beyond KitKat so far. Getting the latest OptimalROM 15-5 instead.

@jrkruse what do you think the chances are of it working if i flash a straight talk bootloader to my Verizon phone? Do you think it might work as a bootloader unlock? I'm willing to try because I have unbrick.img which makes my phone unbrickable.

It may work. In theory because the base models are the same and can run the same ROMs. But my fear would be that if you bork your bootloader your device would be hard bricked. You need the bootloader to even start the boot processes.
I have seen where AT&T and Verizon users have flashed the unlocked firmware from the G930U on their devices. Is it possible to flash the Verizon firmware on the G930U?
Update! I took the plunge and installed the Verizon firmware with Odin and all is working well so far.

Interesting... I was wondering the same thing, thanks for answering, observed one post where a fellow flashed the 930U firmware on a verizon and indicated he's using it on Cricket without a problem (even activated LTE band 17). You would think it would give a model number miss match message and fail. Thanks for info...

I picked up the unlocked one because it was $10.00 cheaper to but out right and from Best Buy it had a $75.00 gift card. So I picked up a Gear Vr with it. I wanted Verizon WiFi calling and visual voice-mail which you cannot do with the unlocked one. Since the others can flash the unlocked firmware it mad3 since the unlocked could flash Verizon. Glad I did not create a pretty paper weight.
There's a whole thread on it in the edge forums, many have had success unfortunately for me I can't get data and phone calls working on mine so I had to go back to the Pe1 build.

Good to hear I've been wanting to give it a try again but haven't felt like sitting in front of the computer for two hours if it doesn't work. Maybe tomorrow or the next I'll give it a shot again.
Thanks for taking the plunge! I've been wondering if it was possible or not to flash the 930V software on my 930U. Good to know it is. Any idea if flashing this and taking Verizon OTAs could possibly lock down the phone in any way? Like make it impossible to go back to the 930U stock software at some point down the line if say I switch carriers or want to sell the phone. This is what is mainly keeping me from doing this as I'm not sure.

Should be able to flash back to 930u firmware via Odin. Worst case may need a newer version than the original 930u firmware.
Okay cool. I might give this a shot. Thanks!

There is no Verizon G930U firmware. The G930U has its own firmware with no carrier bloat. I installed the the G930V PE1 firmware for the Verizon version of the phone on my unlocked G930U. If you want the G930U unlocked firmware you can find it on the AT&T S7 forums. It will work on the G930V but you will loose WiFi calling and visual voice-mail.

I have no idea. I bought the phone on a Friday and on Saturday I flashed the Verizon firmware. I have used the phone for a week and half with the Verizon firmware and it is fine. I only used the U firmware for one day. I wanted the Verizon version all along but Best Buy had the unlocked 930U for $10 cheaper than the Verizon version and a $75 gift card with purchase.

It shows the Verizon variant in the list. Root doesn't require an unlocked bootloader, kernel mods do though. My GS5 was rooted from the day I got it.

Root using CF Autoroot requires an unlocked bootloader. So it is a no go on the SM-G955U. Your GS5 was a totally different animal than the newer Samsung devices. CF Auto Root modifies the kernel to achieve root.

No the exynos is the one sold in Europe. If it's truly a G950F which is Europe s8 yes can be bootloader unlocked and rooted.

Oh alright then, thanks for the info! Btw, do Exynos and snapdragon have any big diffs in performance as far as you are concerned?

Sounds like mine to be honest...anyways, thank you for the help man! Appreciate it.
There are any way to root a s10+ whit snapdragon?
Not currently. There are people working on it so maybe in the future.
That's incorrect, there are Custom ROM'S and Root available for S10 Snapdragon however it needs to be Latin America or Hong Kong variant. Can't be done on any US devices.
Is there any guide to rooting the 9750 (Hongkong) version?

This post outlines the steps however a patch may be needed as well. You should discuss this with the person who posted the thread.
