Hello everyone!
As you can tell, I'm new here and was just wondering if it was possible to root the Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959v without a computer. I found this thread but it was a dead-end.
The reason I want to root without a PC is because my phone's USB port doesn't work. Of course, rooting is not necessary and I might as well just deal with the stock apps and gingerbread, but I'd prefer to have ICS (at least), and Jelly Bean looks awesome so I'm tempted.
I know it's possible to root the Vibrant without a PC, has anyone tried to root this one that way as well? I could try some rooting method for another phone but I'm afraid I might brick it and have to restore using USB port (which doesn't work).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry I can't answer your question but I would suggest going right to Kit Kat once you've rooted it (rather than ICS or JellyBean). This SlimSaber build is working great for me so far, only GPS is not working for some but I think the developer is real close to getting that resolved. KitKat is intended for low-RAM devices such as this one. Good luck!

Its not possible to root this phone without the USB port. Even if it were, recovering from the inevitable first time brick would be impossible.

I've looked everywhere on Xda in search of a support thread for the Blu studio 7.0 I and II. Couldn't find either. So I figured I would create one. If I have created it in the wrong section please move it to the correct section. Thanks
The Blu studio 7.0 is a "low end" android device that comes carrier unlocked and supports dual Sim. You can obtain it for GSM and CDMA networks. As the name states. This device offers a 7 inch screen and is considered a phablet. I haven't ever used the first version of the Blu studio 7.0, but the specs are not that great on paper.
The second version has 1gb of ram and a quad core processor. On paper the screen specs aren't too great, but I've not had any issues with the way it looks. The worst part of this phone is no flash, and camera quality is hit or miss. I don't use the camera too much anyways other than making YouTube videos for my blog. So it's not a huge downfall.
The operating system on the 2nd variant runs android lollipop and I've read rumors that it's going to be upgraded to marshmallow when it's available. Most of the already released Blu devices will not receive android 6.0.
Root is very easily obtained on the Blu studio 7.0, if you need help obtaining it. Just ask below and I'll assist you in obtaining root. You don't need a computer, and it's just 1 click from your phablet.
The studio 7.0 supports 4g but not lte which may be a downfall in your eyes, but 4g is fast enough for what I do so far.
This phone is very very responsive and hasn't lagged at all for me. I consider myself a power user. I am constantly using multiple apps all at the same time (Google a sense, analytics, Fanduel, WordPress, multiple websites opened, texting app, tapatalk and a few others all running in the memory with no lag).
If you've ever used a lower end device. You know that one of the most annoying plagues on them are keyboard lags. I absolutely hate when I have to slow down my typing because the keyboard can't keep up. It makes me want to smash phones. This keyboard is great. Never lags, and never freezes.
For under 150$ usd. I'd buy it again.
___________
If you need any help with your Blu 7.0 this is the thread to ask for it. As well as asking, please give support for this phone as well. As of right now. I don't believe that there are any custom roms for it yet. If you know of any custom roms for this phone. Please post them here as well.

Battery life: the battery on this phone is amazing. I can go through an entire day and a half on a full charge. I believe it's around 3800 mah. It does take a few hours to charge though. It doesn't get hot to the touch either. A lot of phones get hot if using it while charging. So far I haven't noticed that with this device.

I sure hope so because I would love to see some progress on Mods for this device. I have one that we couldn't use at work (some stupid lady tried forcing her SIM into the SD Card slot) so I use it as a Droid tablet. I will say that this is one of the reasons I will never buy Android; finding legit info on modding Droid phones is so hard and most sites are nothing more than fake sites that want me to complete surveys. I'll stick with my iPhone 6s Plus as my primary phone, but this BLU would be a whole lot more fun to play around with if 90% of any info I find on it wasn't false.
I need some help... I was messing around with my build prop and now everything is huge and i don't know how to get it back to regular size... I've looked in all the options to make things small but still no luck I even tried factory reset and still no luck I have the Blu studio 7.0ii

Couldn't find the rom or flash to reset it. Called Blu and sent them the picture of the reset screen.
Help!
Stuck on the BLU Bold like us screen. Will not go beyond that. IS there ANYWHERE to get the stock image? Everywhere I have found you either have to pay for it, or it's a BS survey scam.
People cannot hear me on the phone. What can I do. I already did a factory reset and hard reset

U cannot root without unlocking the Bootloader, if u were still on KitKat u had a chance, but the exploit has been patched with lollipop, it was a kernel exploit that allowed apps like towelroot to crash Android, and while it's crashed and confused, the app runs a code that allows it to open a terminal and give root access, this has been patch tho, so apps like that don't work anymore, u could backup all your data, root, then restore your data and u won't lose a thing

Hey,
please check this:
Universal Root de la Vega v0.5 [ Root without tripping KNOX or Malware! ]
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 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 :/
