Extremely new to this so please bare with me. Recently got the new Samsung S8+ from ATT. Android version 7.0, and model number SM-G955U. I have done a bit of research trying to find a guide on how to root a S8+ that's the same model as mine. I haven't been able to find a straight forward guide explaining how to. If not too much to ask, does anyone have a link to a guide that I could follow, or even if it's possible. Thank you,
there are 2 ways of rooting the phone
1) https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911
2) I already found you the first one lol

You could also try this, but you also have to use a modified Odin the guy links on page 2. I don't know if it works or not.

Of course
I searched and found sampwnd roots all the variants but when I got to Odin and use their files it didn't work is it because I'm on lq1 version ????
Does this root stick even if I upgrade my T-Mobile S8+ (SM-G955U) to Android 8.0 or later?
Same problem here, i wanted to know since i have the "bql1" for att does this firmware "U1_Firm_QG2_System_Img" works for me ?

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, neither of the posts contained what I needed, but for for kicks and giggles, I tried reinstalling the 4.3 rom with an older version of Odin (3.07), and wouldn't you know it, worked like a charm. Funny how things work. Thanks for the help; sorry for the troubles!

No problem, glad it worked out!
Check it out in Android Original Development section of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge main forum and don't forget to hit the Thanks button on Dev
As of right now my data isn't working but I feel like if I clean install my ROM everything is going to work.....Kernel is serious business though we owe thar Dev and tx_dbs_tx our thanks without them our device would be so lame
I'll test it for you right now. Where is the download? lol
Edit---- Wait. I misread it. I understand now. Thank you.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------
It does not work. I tried everything. Even a clean install before flashing the Kernel. It makes the bootsound, but the screen is black, and never boots.
It boots for me have you tried using tx_dbs_tx stock deodexed rom? I still can't get the data to work and the phone might actually be the hottest I've ever felt a device almost burning my hands but i will get this to work. I'll keep you posted
Moderator please delete this thread....apparently that kernel doesn't support our device it just lists it

Typo its work
I get a message when trying to flash it with CWM that says 'bad' and then it aborts. I found a .tar of twrp and installed with odin, then tried to flash the kernel zip from recovery and it actually said it was corrupt. It was the same with all four of the nightly kernels I found in the emotion files.

OK let's see, www.emotroid.com has no r. 22 up AT ALL. It also claims 915P but that on only goes to 19. So you tell me, why is this so great whenever it does neither of the two most important things? Such as support what it claims, and is actually there for download? Sounds like total operator error to me
