Hello, I am virtually a complete noob when it comes to rooting aphone or tablet. I have a StraightTalk Samsung Galaxy Proclaim
Hardware version S720c.01
Model # SCH-S720C
Fimware 2.3,6
Basebrand version S720C.01 VFBO7
Kernel version 2.635.7-FB07-CL972632
Build #SCH-S720C.FB07
I was wondering if this phone is root-able, and if anyone has some noob-friendly directions on how to do this.
Any phone is rootable, you just have to manually root it yourself which will be difficult. Look up "how to root a phone via adb" and you should get what you're looking for

Any results on this? My gf has a proclaim that she is always complaining about being slow. I thought if I could root it we would have more options available. Haven't seen much on this phone though.

There is a root method somewhere, but you will have to flash a custom kernel and then flash the stock kernel back over it.

Yeah, think I came across that. Just haven't seen any custom roms or anything for it.

Hey Everyone,
I am just trying to learn the in's and out's of flashing custom rom's on android phones. I have been doing some reading and some people state
As long as the custom rom has been developed for your phone, you can flash the firmware, then flash the baseband version for your phone, maybe plugin a few APN settings and you should be good to go.
I am wondering if there is some truth to this? Just because it sounds too good to be true.
Thanks!

Great! Thanks very much. My next goal is to see what the difference between the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D and the GT-S5830.
Good ol' google has litterly, no information. any result for the GT-S5830D brings up info for the GT-S5830 which makes me think they are similar? and the firmwares should work?
I know for sure that the GT-S5830i is quite different. its clearly stated.
Wondering if anyone knows about the mystery "D"?

Well i decided to take a risk and flash a ROM that says its for a GT-S5830 on the GT-5830D and it worked perfectly. No issues. I ended up flashing The Myth rom.
Do I need one of those "vanilla" developer phones if I'm to install a custom ROM on my Note 3? As far as I know, nope. You can root any Android phone.
I'm fairly sure that I can ClockWorkMod + install custom ROM on a phone I purchase in a shop. But I just want to make sure .
Thank you in advance .
You are joking, right ?
If not, yes.

Although my question seemed that of a noob, I can assure you I am not. My first rooted phone was HTC Tytn2 which I rooted using Duty's ROM's which I found here back in 2008. So no worries . Now I have a rooted SG2. I know all the procedures, safety steps and so on.
The reason I asked such a dumb question was that I had a 1% uncertainty regarding this, which I was unwilling to risk on.
As far as I know, the so-called dev-phones are simply loaded with a vanilla version of Android, no Samsung bloatware.
Anyway, thank you guys for calming my fears .

There´s only one Google Edition phone in Samsung, the S4. Still, you can get a "normal" S4 and still flash it like crazy.

Flash it like crazy. I like the sound of that! *grin*
Hey, I'm looking to pick up a new phone and the S6 Active looks fantastic. Will this phone eventually be rooted? Or, is it a possibility that the phone could go by the wayside and never receive a root option.
I really appreciate the information- I'm not too versed in all of this.
Thanks a lot.

Chances of it obtaining root ate slim, as pingpongroot was patched shortly before the active was released, and no exploit has been found since then. If it gets root it will require an entirely new exploit

Would it make sense that the S6 would be rooted when the version of android hits? So it would be a wait- but eventually- or is it really just unlikely to happen. Sorry if that's a repetitive question.
Thanks.
Hi, I recently damaged my S4 and decided to upgrade to the S6, so far I love the phone, got it new for $250
However since it's with straight talk in not one of the more common models and I can't really seem to find any information on it, I'm mostly hoping to find a way to root it, a custom recovery would be nice but I certainly don't need it
Has anyone had any experience with this device?
Or could someone maybe point me in the right direction?
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
Baseband: S907VLUDU1APG8 (idk if that's important lol)
Android: 6.0.1
I appreciate any help that you guys might be able to give
I am looking for the same!
Would like to root and install CM.
Samsung S6 SM-907VL
I too got the "Black Friday" deal with this phone. It is Straight Talk and is a nice phone. I emailed a popular rooting developer and they have a list a mile long with phones their app will root. But it will not root this model. If someone finds an app that will root, please post.
Looking to root this model too. Could you flash a rom from one that uses the same board and chip set? Essentially turning it from a straight talk phone to Verizon , sprint, or at&t then proceed to root from there? Might be a noob question but I been wondering if it would work

You can not do that. Unless you want to brick your phone. I am searching now, will let you know if I come up with anything!

Well hopefully we can hear back soon, I've still had pretty much no luck with this model, seems it's too little know for anything custom yet
Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I've tried Kingroot a few times now, the device is not supported unfortunately
Need root and 7.0 rom!
Seriously been looking for root since I got this phone. Is anyone even working on a root for it? Would the root for sm-s903vl work for the sm-s907vl or would it brick it? At this point I don't even care if I trip Knox. I just want ROOT!!
Fruitless searching for method to root sm-s907VL S6
Has anyone found anywhere that has information about rooting this model or atleast maybe the news that someone is working on it?! I have searched and searched and tried several different methods but nothing has worked yet. I really like this phone so far but I really gotta have my customization fix for it. Thank you to anyone who can give me some hope and of course if I find anything I'll post it here.
Thanks
I don't suppose anyone has had any luck with this device?
I'm having trouble finding stock firmware as well, I was thinking I might try a couple methods for different models but that's a little foolish without a way back to stock...
As a side note, don't buy straight talk phones, nothing seems to exist for them xD
You can get the stock software at www.firmware.gem-flash.com... I've used their copy personally and had no problems..
Device: Galaxy S6 (Straight Talk)
Model: SM-S907VL
I have the same issue and have tried several root tools and none have worked yet. Maybe some devs will get it working for one of them soon.
I have tried everything. If there is somebody smart enough to root the galaxy s6 s907vludu through straightalk please let me know. I have been searching for months. If anybody can find something for this unrootable phone please let me know.
I have model s906l it's an early sts6 and Im currently running s907vl firmware. I think the s906l can be rooted but it's running Android 5.02. My point being if you really want root maybe you can flash the s906l firmware using oden. Update nope I was able to flash up but cant flash back down. Stuck on mm without root for now.

I don't think you can downgrade an OS. Bootloaders would normally not allow it.
I tried flashing the 5.0.2 SM-S906L rom on the SM-S907VL through Odin and it gives a secure boot check fail.

I am having the same issue, I have the S6 SM-S907VL as well, I am very pleased with the phone itself as well as the cell carriers service but not having any developers hacks & mods or stock firmware or rooting methods for it is really frustrating

I have the same model also I wish now that never seen it. I've had an LG Stylo 3, and Motorola phone all of which I could easily download a ROM from here and easily customize the phone. This phone has proven impossible.

Any new updates on a possible root and custom rom for the SM-S907VL? Starting to look like we're out of luck :/

Android version: 7.0

Right okay cool thanks for that. I have bad news for you, because your phone has a locked bootloader it cannot be rooted at this point until an exploit is found. I even had a look over in the At&T s6 forums and there's not much going on. Sorry mate.

That sucks but thanks for the straightforward answer. But there's really 0 options for me at this point? Not even downgrading or flashing? (Just some terms I've picked up, don't exactly know what those mean)

Unfortunately not, downgrading is when going from one version to the previous, due to how samsung setup their bootloader, trying to say go from nougat to Marshmallow is not possible so you will always remain on nougat. Flashing is commonly done via a recovery and a piece of software called odin, every phone has a recovery but most root things need you to have a custom recovery like twrp this can only be achieved via having root, odin is used to flash stock Samsung firmwares. Hope that helps a bit. For the time being my advice to you is to keep looking at the s6 at&t forums from time to time, at some point they may come out with a root exploit that works.
