I just got my galaxy s5 with boost mobile. I previously rooted my s3 with boost mobile so I know to root with the files based on the sprint version. However i dont know what to do because my device came pre installed with android 5.0. I seen one method but it was made for a specific build number and people bricked their device trying to root without that build number. Also im not to privy of using the fastboot method and adb. So can anyone point me in a direction to help me get rooted.
The last updated list in CF-AUTO-ROOT repository offers a version for Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F with a build ID MMB29K.G920FXXU3DPBG.
My smartphone's build ID is MMB29K.G920FXXU3DPDP.
Can I use the repository's version ?
also interested, I have the same version : G920FXXU3DPDP
But both on PingPongRoot and CF AUTO ROOT this exact version isn't available in the list. But some others (still G920F), very similar, are there.
Can we try to root or is it risky? Thanks
I have the same version too and I'm interested in rooting my 920F too. How this will be possible ? Please help !
I have the same version too and I'm interested in rooting my SM-G920F too. I have the same version :
PDA: G920FXXU3DPDP
CSC: G920FOXX3DPD1
Please help. Thank you for answer!
I used same version of CF autoroot for both 5.1.1. and 6.0.1 fw, also on couple of different builds, on my G920F
Just flash CF-Auto-Root for G920F with Odin.
You can find the instruction on this link: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin
It works perfectly. Thank's a lot for your help.
Just a -little- problem. After rooting it's no more possible to take raw photographs

Hi guys,
I can confirm that the CF-Auto-Root for G920F is working perfectly ! I flashed it trough Odin and all went smooth ! My phone is SM-G920F with baseband G920FXXU3DPDP, build number MMB29K.G920FXXU3DPDP and kernel version - 3.10.61-7884513, [email protected]#1, Fri Apr 22 16:09:37 KST 2016, security patch 01 may 2016
@up I have the same build Version like you. Will this trip knox? I don't like to have a phone without root. Knox is not so much important for me but samsung pay is then lost too, or not?
I am a little confused about all of this. I would genuine appreciate help. I am trying root my phone. Do I download the g920f to my phone or to my computer? I am currently putting the phone into ODIN download mode. I have downloaded the file to both my Samsung S6 and computer.

Hi, I have the same model and software version. I would like to root my phone (don't care about knox). Can I just flash "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.tar" via ODIN? Or is it necessary to flash unlocked bootloader first (I'm on stock)? Thank You for your answer.

Hi,
Just flash the right file for your model via ODIN. I wrote my phone software details and it worked that way. Please check yours and if they are the same it should work. You can find the instructions on how to flash it and the needed file on this link: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin
Just make sure that your phone bootloader is unlocked and all should go smooth! My phone was bought from a Bulgarian mobile operator and however it still was with unlocked bootloader. I read somewhere that all of the phones that are manufactured for Europe should be with unlocked bootloaders but I cannot confirm this 100%. Maybe somebody who is more familiar with this can confirm it so everybody should feel safe from brick.
Good luck!

same here!
I am ready to root my device and check out all the custom ROMS/creations that the greats around here have created. BUT - I saw there was a list of incompatible devices, however it is a dead link and I can not see the bad devices when I click the link. Here are my device specs
Code:
model
samsung-sm-n915a
version
6.0.1
kernal
3.10.10-8932341
build
mmb29m.n915aucu2dph5
Am I safe to root? And if yes, can someone point me to a good download of the factory image, just in case I screw the pooch on something? I can't find a good download for that either.
Thanks in advance everyone.
And if it is not listed in any of the jargon above, this is an ATT USA device. Also, here is one of the dead links http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Does this method work, or will I brick my device attempting it?

King Root doesn't work on 6.0.1. I'm having the same problem
I rooted my n915f few days back wasnt an issue even tho I couldn't find the cf auto root for my build in the list. You should be fine using odin.

OP was asking about N915A not F
Don't Attempt Root
Do not try that method. I guarantee it will brick your phone. Bootloader on AT&T version is locked and will not be getting an unlock method ever.
If you already did it and bricked.. look for the Marshmallow OTA files for restore via Odin specific to the AT&T version you have. I bricked my note 4 AT&T attempting root and recovered via Odin and stock firmware files. And i know i did this to a note 4 all att Samsung notes of the same generation have the same locked bootloader ='ing no root ever ?

Hey I'm new here and hope I've got the right area to post in if not can you please direct me to where I can request an update to the CF auto-root for SM-G920W8, it is at 6.1 but I have 7.0
Hey I have an SM-G920W8 and I'm attempting to root for the first time just for pogo to get around the new update.
I've downloaded odin and the guide I was using last night warned not to flash a rom with a different version than your phone or it could result in bricking your phone.
I've figured everything else out, my phone is recognized and I can boot to download but I'm afraid to flash the old version.
I have no idea how to create any of this on my own so I'd like to formally request an update for this version of the phone.
Thank you for your time and directions.
SM-G920W8 with baseband G920W8VLU5DQD4
Chainfire I am also wondering if there is plans for any CF-Auto root for our Canadian phone now that the Version 7 ROM is out?
Is there anything needed from us to get this update of CF-Auto root added to your list?
if no CF-Auto root can we flash the SuperSU 2.82 using TWRP for our phones? I tried 2.79... and TWRP stopped part way through and got a bootloop when i rebooted the phone.
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930S which just updated to 7.0 today.
The Build number in the phone reads:
NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQJ1
So far the only CF Autoroot I have found is CF-Auto-Root-herolteskt-herolteskt-smg930s.zip, and the download page, and the download pages, https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/, says it is for:
NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQG1
but all the other info on that line is correct for my phone model.
A google search for a CF file for NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQJ1 leads me nowhere. I have found a few other CF files for the 930S, but they have no reference to the build number at all. There is one site, I believe in Vietnam, https://s-update.samsungvn.com/, which has the correct build of
NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQJ1
but it is not a CF file, I believe it is an OEM build.
Is the NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQG1 a typo?
Please, would someone clarify or clear up this issue for me?
Thank you.
Use magisk instead if you want root ans if you are not sure about supersu. You may want to install a custom rom. Custom roms provide root. I have a g930L with superman rom... Rooted.
Thank you.
I did end up finding the newly released, Nov 1 version of the "J" firmware. My phone had auto-updated to 7.0, so I left that alone, and used ODIN to root. So now stock root, maybe heading to convert to "F" version with USA/AT&T CSC.
