Build number help - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

So I was wanting to try chain fires cf-auto-root for my galaxy s8 SM-G950u but my build number is different then what it says on their site "NRD90M.G950USQU1AQD9 - His site"
"NRD90M.G950USQU1AQDE - My Phone" does it matter? or is there something I need to do? Any help is appreciated!
Oh and just to clarify every phone I have had I always root them without any problem, just making sure that I can go ahead and do this without breaking my phone :good:

[Q] Brand new to everything root related, some simple questions i hope.

Ok here we go thank you to whoever takes the time to answer these sorry if I sound uneducated in this field but I have no idea what I am doing really.
1) I am running a Galaxy S4 through Koodo (Canadian) sgh-i337m baseband I337MVLUFNE1 the build number is the same but with KOT49H. added to the front of it, my question is is it possible to unlock my bootloader I've seen posts about AT&T locking theirs or something and I wasn't sure.
2) Secondly I've rooted my phone using Odin and how can I tell if my bootloader is unlocked? (keep in mind im not too tech savvy with the android OS yet)
3) What would happen if I flashed Cyanogenmod onto my device and it wasn't unlocked? I bought ROM Toolbox pro
4) How do I go about doing anything in recovery mode everytime I go through it shows a dead android guy and doesn't give me many options?
5) How do I change my boot screen, I tried a few methods but I don't think I am deodexed (which i don't know what it means really) and it tells me i cant change themes etc with ease, when i tried that x-(something) program to deodex my device it couldn't detect the device through the usb or it took ridiculously long and I quit out.
Thank you very much to whoever can help me out, I'm not sure where my Koodo GS4 falls in relation to canadian GS4's etc so I don't want to mess it up.

Newbie wants to root the Galaxy S4 i337m, build number kot49h.i337mvlufni2

Hi all
First of all i need to say that i m all new to android and samsung phones, so i may ask questions that can seem stupid, be patient with me please, i m new but i learn fast
I just bought a brand new canadian i337m from koodo mobile, and it comes with the android version 4.4.2, baseband i337mvlufni2, build number kot49h.i337mvlufni2. I want to root my phone and open an all new world to me, but from what i read from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2293800, there are some problems with WIFI and Bluetooth after rooting, i guess something went wrong during the rooting process, or the files used weren't the correct ones. That's why i want to make sure that i will use the right files to flash with Odin, i don't want to brick my brand new phone. My problem is that i can't find the right files of CF-Auto-Root to flash with, since in his website for autoroot, chainfire has files for i337m based on build number KOT49H.I337MVLUFNC1, but my phone has newer build number kot49h.i337mvlufni2. Did Chanfire forget to update his website ? or the build number doesnt make any difference ? am i missing something ? Please can someone help me or guide me so i can root the phone safely ?
Thanks in advance
following...
Did you find an answer?
Im having the same issue..... tried the root method by chainfire for my phone model in another thread but Odin gives me "Fail"
and im thinking its because i have an updated build.
Thanks,

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (G360T)

Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. HereĀ“s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.
Follow this thread here for all your root needs for this device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...should work just fine for the tmobile version

I dont know anythinabout rooted phones. I have samsung galaxy j7oot but it is now through cricket wireless... some how i bricked the phone, i guess the previous owner had it rooted. It says (custom binary blocked by frp lock) in red at the top left of the screen and i dont know how to fix it. Pleas3 someone anyone help me! I need my phone for the baby sitter and work and i cant afford to by a new one at the moment! Im desperate!
Can you return it to the person you bought it from? Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like there's any easy way to fix it. Sorry.
By the way, in any internet forum, it's helpful and courteous to use an informative subject line. That way, people can scan the subject lines to see which topics they're interested in following or contributing to, and can find their way back to a thread they're interested in. You'll also get more helpful responses if you do that.
Good luck.
Fix Brick
First you should post in the S7 group, rhis us showing up in the S8 group...
You have probably lost everything on the phone, but may be able to fix it still...
You will need to find the stock ROM for your phone. It should be posted in the S7 forum. You will also need the ODIN software for your PC. Instructions for flashing the ROM using ODIN should also be in the forum.
Wish You luck!

I did this to myself when I enabled all the Google security and accidently unclicked oem unlock after I rooted the phone.
I ended up with the same msg. Couldn't get Into recovery.
I used smart switch on pc. Used emergency recovery entered my serial number. And it got me up and running.

Rooting a Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T)

Hi. I'm new here as a member, but I've found this site from my interest in rooting earlier this year. I'm aware of losing data and accidental bricking, and I've been searching for quite a while. I'm mostly interested to get rid of "bloatware" and remove ads. I currently don't know where or how to start, but I did start backing up files and data to keep. I also got SuperSU and Titanium Backup (and ADB installed on my computer).
I came across several pages of stuff, but I couldn't find anything recent/relevant. Links:

This would be a thread you'd want to take a look at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616. Unfortunately, you are on binary #11/B, and there is no root for that. There is no eng.boot for that, and that's what you need in order to root. The last eng.boot was for #10/A.

Hi and thanks! I'm guessing that means I can't root with my current device...?
Oh, and I did check out that thread, but I can't tell if it will work for my device (or what I'll need).

Not until there is the correct eng.boot for the current binary. Our bootloader's are locked, so no way to downgrade.
