Canadian G920W8 5.11 Rogers Root? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking around, but haven't seen anyone actually saying that my device is able to root therefore I don't want to go rooting it with something that "might work"
Carrier: Rogers
Model Number: G920w8
Build: VLU3B0J7
Android Version: 5.11
Could someone tell me if it can be or not?

Anyone? I am also looking for this. CF auto root seems to only have 6.0.1 and not 5.1.1

You can flash any ROM you want. The procedure is simple.
1) Download any official firmware from here.
2) Download ODIN Multi Downloader (Google's your friend)
3) Connect your device in downloading mode.
4) Flash it via ODIN

Galaxy S7 TELSTRA root.

Hi,
I recently updated my S7 (Australian Telstra model) and can't find any rooting available for it. Has anyone got a root out for Build Number: MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPIT yet? Baseband version is G930FXXU1BPIQ and when I click 'Software Update' it checks for a latest software and tells me it's the latest already with the current version: G930FXXU1BPIT/G930FTEL1BPIT/G930FXXU1BPIQ.
I also hear alot about 'tripping knox' when you root a Galaxy S7. Can someone please explain what is meant by this?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, knox WILL be tripped for the international model of the S7. No way to avoid that. Tripped knox counter means void warranty

GT-N8000 update question

Hello,
I've had my GT-N8000 since 2013 it has 3G option and is ulocked.
I remember when i got it it had a baseband N8000XXALI3, i remember cos I wrote it on the box! Back then it had the very first rom edition of 4.0 something and wanted to update the firmware but no updates were available at the time. I waited a couple of months and after that i flashed on it the german 4.1.2 stock rom using Odin. My Tablet is unlocked so all went well and it still runs very well. It's not rooted.
Currently my tablet has the following info:
AP: N8000XXCMA1
CP: N8000XXCLL1
CSC: N8000XACMA1
Now when looking for updates, none show up on OTA or KIES, and i really need to update to the latest official rom which as I understand is 4.4 but I don't know which file to download. Can you help me? Anything I need to do before that? Backup a Nand or EFS? I don't really know what those are!
Any advice on which rom to use and keep the s-pen functionality and 3G? Are there any new roms for marshmallow?
Thank you kindly in advance.

Baseband is modem not firmware .
Thank you for replying,
I have already went to that page and I wanted to make sure which rom to download, there are many 4.4.2 but none of them are for my country. And to tell you the truth, this tablet was offered to me as a gift back then from overseas and I'm not sure of its country of origin. I there a way to know that?
So I'm not sure which rom to download and flash without messing something up!
Sorry for the noob questions, the more details you can provide will be appreciated. And thanks again.
Download for your location/network/model.

My device is unlocked as in not bound to a cell carrier and neither my location nor my provider are available in that list of roms.
In that case what's the best option?
Thank you kindly.

Rooting is the best option, without root then PDAnet is about your only option.
As for the best way to root, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"

when you say " model number" do you mean S7? or do you mean Build Number?

No
S7 is the device name
Build number designates which firmware you have.
I mean your model number. Go to system settings>about phone>model number
system settings>about phone>device info>model number
