I bought this phone off ebay awhile back and after some early issues, was able to update the firmware to zv9. (originally unrooted using supersu app but then could not update... then after trying different methods, was able to reroot and unroot the correct way, then run the firmware updates). Ever since, I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to reroot. I installed a sprint CDMAS sim from redpocket (I bought a 1 year plan for cheap) but I am unable to unlock the UICC so I can use the installed sim. Before I give too much detail on my methods for attempting to reroot this phone, does what I'm describing sound like I'm going in the right direction to getting this phone operational?

I've got the SM-G930UZKAXAA arriving today and after a ton of searching, I can't figure out if there's a stable root for it. Do I use the AT&T method with the engineering image for that device?
Also is there just one thread that has solutions for all the problems rooting seems to be giving it?
Honestly I don't even need root that badly, I just want to use Titanium Backup to bring over my apps from my Oneplus 3, since Helium won't work on an encrypted device.
Yes, follow AT&T root directions with EngineeringBoot for G930U. The only problem I had was the wifi saving. There's a couple different ways to fix that. I used S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039.
My knowledge on all this phone rooting and stuff is quite minimal, infact I haven't done any of this since around 3 years ago when I rooted my S5, but I just upgraded to the google pixel today and I REALLY want root, sad thing is I'm with verizon. Anyways, I upgraded my phone's OTA while in the store, being stupid and all, and when I got home, I began my search for rooting. I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed the superSU image boot-to-root.img, but got stuck in a bootloop. I followed someones instructions on sideloading the NDE3DX image, and got back into my phone. SuperSU is installed, but no root. I tride the boot-to-root.img thing again, and got stuck again on the dots thing... I fixed it yet again with sideloading, however I discovered from others that NDE3DX simply wont root, and that you must downgrade to NDE3DP...
I went ahead and downloaded the NDE3DP file from: https://developers.google.com/android/images, but I'm a bit nervous with continue to flash it since i have the verizon version of the pixel (not the XL either), and on the download page, it only shows verizon in parenthesis for the NDE3DX version... Would someone PLEASE help me on how to downgrade this (if possible) and obtain root on this phone? Thanks so much!
No need to downgrade... Go to the twrp thread and follow the guide there... After you follow that guide, then you can flash root... Really easy to do my friend
[edit]Solved[edit]Hello i seem to have a more or less unique problem, or possibly one that has allready been answered so many times i can not seem to find it on google?
so the problem.
I have a optimus f6 (the d505 version) wich i have sort of succesfully rooted about 3 years ago, problem is i seem to remember soft bricking it and then reflashing it with something called lg flash tool? and needing to unlock the bootloader in order to un-brick it. After wich i used Kingo for rooting and everything worked like a charm ever since.
here is where the problem starts, right now i want to sell it, and i have a client to sell it to, problem is the guy needs his banking app to work. And after un-rooting it with the same app, and then doing a factory reset, the banking app still recognises the phone as rooted, and to make matters worse even the OTA update fails because of the same reason. Now i think the problem is with the bootloader being unlocked, i can think of no other reason why the apps think it is still rooted, i can re-root and re-unroot with kingo at any time and every function of the phone and the root acces seems to work. When un-rooted every root detection app i have tried from google play tells me the phone is not rooted, exept the fore-mentioned OTA and banking app.
My plan is to re-flash the allready updated basic rom, wich i got as a kdz file from a site called lg-roms.com( it does appear to have the correct phone version and carrier, i did a imei verification) and then use fastboot to re-lock the bootloader.
My question is since I am sort of a noob with theese sorts of things, will this solve my problem, aka will it remove all traces of root, i would like to know since i risk bricking it anyway i want to know if i can get any sort of results
[edit] So ya i really doubt anyone will have this specific problem, however if you do, i managed to solve it by flashing stock and locking the bootloader with fastboot, problem seems to have been originating from there
So I've been scouring the threads on this phone to see if someone has finally found a way to root the device, but from what I can tell no one has been successful. It's a pretty obscure device so not much effort is put into it, but it would be great if someone had actually found a way. Flashing the cmf auto root file on ODIN always fails. I had heard of a method where there was a way to root earlier firmware versions, but stocking flash firmware to try and downgrade never works on ODIN either.
The best I've managed to do is unlock the sim card. I had heard of some exploit with using MAGISK on a locked bootloader, but it seemed to have failed as well. Is there any possible method to finally gain root access, or am I still up ****'s creek and stuck with a phone that's locked down like fort knox?
Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
