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.

I can't find a rooting tool that supports my device and Android version, is there none or am I just a bad searcher?
Thanks!
There are a lot of posts on how to do this in 5.1.1. Try searching for unikernel or Adam kernel. Flash either and you get root... They do trip knox.
Here's a method that doesn't but I haven't tried it

I tried a few outdated methods not for this version and it just bricks the phone or doesn't work. Is there a working root method for this version? Can I flash to a previous version, root and upgrade? I'm new to the forum but somewhat experienced with rooting/flashing. Thanks for any help you can give.

This should work for you since you're running MM (6.0.1) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-files-t-mobile-s7-t3488067
If you upgrade to Nougat though, this won't work.
EDIT: Btw, don't try putting TWRP on unless you are able to unlock your bootloader. I'm pretty sure it will flag your KNOX bit too or you might run into a situation that I'm in with DRK errors/IMEI being gone (due to issue with EFS partition). Basically my phone can't be used as a phone anymore.

I am desperately trying to root an android SM G532F - It has been a nightmare.
I have tried everything - Magisk, TWRP, CF auto root, 1clickroot, Wondershare and kingoroot.
I have done so much research and it just hasnt worked.
Magisk, twrp and wondershare arent compatible, CF autoroot failed.
The first time I attempted to root my phone, I managed to flash it but it didn't root, and all it did was wipe my entire phone, then I flashed it with root-and-boot and the software I downloaded locked my phone and asked for a password. So I reflashed and managed to unbrick it but i still havent been able to root it.
I live in south africa and our builds arent popular for oneclickrooting apps or an development apps .
If anyone is able to help me I would really appreciate it.

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.
