Yes, i tried ot and it just says something like "this modeil is not supported" referring to android 5.1.1
Still no root for 5.1.1. Just wait a while and it will follow.

Why you think that i would not search in google?
All what i found are like pingpong, which doesn't wok in 5.1.1 only in 5.0.2 and cf-autoroot which is also only for 5.0.2 and if i flash it, it put my phone to booloop
So i was wondering if there is any other way to root my G920F with 5.1.1 than unikrnel which is only working method i have found...

G920F , not sure if it works on the I or not. You need the engineer bootloader, and I think that only F and T have leaked, but... not sure.

but there's plenty more here on XDA.
You have to wait for TWRP to be updated to support the AQG5 bootloader, or install any of the AQG5 custom roms found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development while using the AQF7 bootloader.

Why does he have to wait to root? The link I posted clearly roots his phone. It was posted two days ago. Here it is again since you didn't read it the first time.

Are you saying this is not valid?
Plus if he's got an Exynos S8+, doesn't the S8+ TWRP already work on his phone? IF he also wants TWRP and not just root, he says. I'm not aware of any restrictions on TWRP for S8 Plus as long as he has Exynos, which he does. Yes, he's posting in the wrong forum (S8 instead of S8+), but other than that, please educate me where I'm wrong.

Besides the answers I posted for you above to root and to also install TWRP if you want, you should post over in the correct forum
Samsung Galaxy S8+
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+
You have a Galaxy S8 Plus, not a Galaxy S8. That forum is dedicated to same device you have, and more people will be there to help you even more. But the two links I posted should help you root your S8+ and/or you can install TWRP and root. With TWRP you can also install custom ROMs.
No. That link is not valid. As of today there's no compatible TWRP with new bootloader.
"I am aware of compatibility issues related to newer bootloader.
New version of TWRP will be released soon with support to newer BLs." posted two days ago by @jesec. Are you saying that Jesec's post is not valid?

What about the Galaxy S8+ root link SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS MODEL I posted, which was posted online just two days ago?
It has nothing to do with TWRP. THAT is the part I was asking was valid. Seems you can't read?
But thank you for the updated information on TWRP.
Can you please change your title from "Root S8+ G955FXXU1AQG5" to "How To Root S8+ G955FXXU1AQG5?" this thread got me thinking there was a way to root already. I don't want others being misleaded as well.

The CF auto root for the G955F is based on NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDG check https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ for reference. It will work for AQF7 and below but not AQG5.

Those guides are usually just copy & paste of previous guides with updated version names and numbers. I wouldn't trust those sites, that's what we have XDA for, and if you look at the Question and Answers section you will find numerous threads of people having softbricked their device because of trying to root the AQG5 firmware. Custom firmware is the way to go right now and there are plenty of working rooted AQG5 custom roms here on XDA.
Anyway, you can't root with magisk on AQG5.

That's true you can't get Magisk by doing the CF auto root. But if you use a custom rom then you can have AQG5 and Magisk, you just have to stay on the AQF7 bootloader.

No that won't work. What you need to do is to use the TWRP update that can be found by joining the Telegram group found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102
If you use the regular update you need to flash the AQF7 bootloader - boot into TWRP - flash the TWRP update - flash AQG5 bootloader with Odin. Then you are free to flash Magisk or SuperSU.
Yeah the method posted (http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/07/25/root-xxu1aqg5-android-70-galaxy-s8-plus-g955f-nougat-firmware/) does not work. Plus there's that point that says "remove battery." Why and how would you remove the battery on a G955F? I like to root and just keep it as stock as possible but this method does not work.
Also when I posted a comment on this site it got removed.
"This method failed. OEM unlock on, USB Debugging on, drivers installed. In download mode the COM does not turn yellow. When I initiate this it fails. And why would I want to remove the battery? I don't have those kinda tools to do it, you gotta be kidding."
Finally I rooted My device Sucessfully....

By putting xda in the google search you limit your results to stuff in XDA - generally a good idea.
But you are already at the J7 forum, and now you know your model number.
You will find some useful guide info here, though I don't know if yours is a 700F. There will be similarities. Guides are always a good place to start!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/how-to-root-twrp-install-xposed-t3328580
I believe the next step for you is to flash TWRP because TWRP then allows you to backup your stock, and to flash ROMs.
maybe you need to start here, if the guide above didn't help:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/j700t-development/recovery-galaxy-j7-sm-j700t-t1-t3560342
There are warnings in there about having stock on hand. Make sure you do.
Unfortunately I can not help you further because it talks about flashing with Odin.
But you are in the correct forum for asking questions, so go for it!
Good luck!
Asking questions and being nice to people will get you about anywhere! That's how I approach any new phone.

Yes, I have tried that ROM & its Odin flashable
Can i flash this on the SM-S550TL?
Has anyone tried this on the SM-G550T1 model?
Will someone reupload the file for a better download link? Sammobile takes way to long
Really, the SM-G550T1/2 really needs Nougat at this point since it is only limited to the India model... I really like the new UI elements. Sad.
Or if someone is really good enough to make a Android Oreo Go edition custom ROM (since it really helps on storage) or a Lineage OS custom ROM. I wish i can make one but I'm not good at making ROM's.:crying:
Edit: I was thinking of installing that same rom OP described. Will it work for my T1? Someone needs to test this before i can proceed. Problem is i don't know if it will brick my phone because it was made for Indian devices running that version.
The current device i have is as follows:
Galaxy On5 SM-G550T1 (T-Mobile)
Currently on 6.0.1
Rooted with Magisk
OEM Unlock set to ON
TWRP
I dont know also, but do i need to have my phone network "unlocked" to switch official samsung roms? I prefer sticking to T-Mobile...
Edit #2: Tried installing that firmware file, it wont let me because of a locked bootloader. I used Odin (latest) but all i get is a "SECURE CHECK FAIL: (BOOTLOADER)" error.
^tl;dr, it wont install on a US variant.
