Hey everyone, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Android but I have a couple questions. Thanks to the people who were recently able to get root access, I rooted my SM-G930P.
Are the other s7 ROMs (g930f models) compatible with my phone?
Is it possible yet for me to flash anything onto the s7 (or get xposed installer)? I've never done this stuff before.
Sorry if these questions don't really make sense. I'm learning as I go. Thanks!
Unfortunately, the Sprint variant does not have a bootloader unlock, so you cannot flash any roms.

Hello, I'm new to the S6. I have a couple of questions to help me decide if I should root or not. First, what are some of the main advantages to rooting the S6 specifically. In the past, I've rooted phones mainly to write directly to SD cards. Being that the S6 doesn't have one, what are some of the advantages to rooting this phone. Second, I know that if I root, OTA updates will be disabled. I have the Verizon version. How do I go about getting those updates? Do I need to install a custom recovery?
Hi everyone,
i have been searching for 2 weeks how to root this phone, but no luck yet. I am saying no luck for a proper way to do it , because you can do it with the avant method, or by using the CF method which uses the SM-G386T firmware, and for reading lots of forums, i know it works, but the problem is if i ever want to update later, i would not be able to do so. I already have the firmware for my phone, G386WVLU1ANJ1, running android 4.4.2 KITKAT, and i have extracted the recovery.img from the firmware file. I am searching how to unlock the bootloader so i can apply whatever rooting method i want. Since i am new to this, i need some information. If i ever want to use the CF-Auto-Root method using the SM-G368T model, can i go back to stock phone whenever needed by flashing recovery image from the SM-G386W ?. If not, is there any other method i can use, preferably one that doesn't trip my KNOX flag to 0x01. Until now i have tried 2 methods, Towelroot and Z4root, which didn't work at all. The main reason i want to root is i want to get rid of the bloatware installed by default on my phone and gain control of my phone without any restrictions, and customizing it.
Please need help.
Thank you very much
P.S: can anyone recommend some reading about rooting android phones?

I also own one of these phones and would like to root the phone to get rid of bloat ware and make the phone run smoother. I would appreciate if you could give a quick run down on how you managed your root. Greatly appreciated.

Canadian carrier use Kingo one click root
Hi
i always used Kingo one click root it has super su that make it easy for bloat removal in a click of a button for all my Samsungs Galaxy core lte
galaxy s4
I recently rooted my sprint galaxy s7. Now i want to flash a new rom to it but I can't find the resources i need to figure out how to do so. Is it even possible this
early in the roots development? Somone mentioned flashfire to me. But im afraid to use that with out knowing whether it will work. I can uninstall bloatware now and store my apps on sd but i would like a whole new operating system. Any suggestions?
Rom development is dead for the us s7's, there aren't any roms to flash.
That sucks. It was one of the big reasons i rooted.
Hey All,
Another Newb question of the day here:
I recently upgraded to a Samsung S8+ on the Rogers Network, as of yet I have no intentions on rooting with any Custom FW or anything, I plan on keeping Factory stock... for the most part...
My question is....
Is there ANY way I could install TWRP as the recovery, and then possibly flash SuperSu# to get the "root" advantages from apps such as "sixaxis"?
the reason I'm asking is, I have a few emulators I installed, but using a controller instead of the device would be a bit more.. practical, only issue is, Since I am fairly new to the tweaking and such of rooting/flashing, I am nervous about possibly Bricking/Void my phone since I would be flashing to a Stock Carrier firmware
be sure to bash and help this newb get his knowledge up!
Thanks;

TWRP cannot be installed on the Snapdragon model of S8+.
But you are in luck, there was recently a root method released for the Snapdragon model, which I THINK (but you should check the thread to make sure) includes your SM-G955W model: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911
OK, I'm not a complete newb, but I haven't rooted a phone in a number of years. I am looking to do so for a g955u with a v5 bootloader.
So, I've been doing quite a bit of reading, and I want to make sure I have this correct. Because the 955u has a locked bootloader, we cannot have a custom ROM, but only a stock ROM (can it be modified?).
It appears that we can have a Rooted g955u running nougat by following these two threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/root-t3909782
and then:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...nt/root-using-odin-modified-firmware-t3693790
This appears to be the only solution. Am I wrong, is there another? Or worse, is this not even the solution?
TIA for bring this old newb along.
it's the best way

If you got safe strap you can flash a stock system img and then su. You can tweak it how you want. Its what I did on my s8. And the rooms available are awesome but mine suites me.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/950u-stock-rom-blq1-optional-root-t3812012
Same would apply for s8+. You just have to extract your wanted 7.0 img
