Hi community,
I have a Galaxy S8+ (Model SM-G955FD) with firmware G955FXXU1AQJ5 installed in it. I wanna root it, install TWRP Recovery and eventually switch to a custom rom on this device. Can anyone post a tutorial to do so?
Thanks in advance.

hey bro please check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_uHPPIEEKU i hope you would your solution.
Hi @sonu42197
I assume that after rooting, you want to install a custom kernel anyways.
With this Kernel you have auto-root included for almost every variant, including your I version
Hope this helps!

My ROMs are largely debranded and debloated. The only T-Mobile remnant is the shutdown animation, is only there fora second.
Hi great thank you so is there no need to root ? So do I just flash the file with Odin ?

You need to install twrp and root first. Then you will have the power to install custom roms. Remember to always make a backup as soon as you install twrp. From what it seems, your completely new at this. There's a ton of guides that you can follow on here. Remember, to install only for your model phone. For example, dont try to install a rom for let's say a note 2 on a gs7. I can't stress it enough, back-up, back-up,back-up! Good luck and have fun?
Hi thank you. Yes I am new to this looks a bit daunting at first I will look for some guides on here to tell and root the 920t
I'll post back when I have completed it and tried your rom,
Thank you so much
You can also debloat by using app like Package Disabler Pro. No root needed and you can disable all unwanted apps...

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.

Hmmm...it specifically has that AQG5 in the title. And it was posted just two days ago. Very strange if it doesn't work.

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.

If I'm on AQG5 & want to root, can I just flash the AQF7 Bootloader & keep the rest AQG5?

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....

You ve got two options :
1. Take the phone into service, get it fixed and stay off root until you get a better understanding of what are you doing.
2. Take your chance flashing stock rom from this link

Download the official Infinix Note 11S X698 Stock Firmware ROM (Flash File) for your Infinix Mobile. We also provide all other Infinix Stock Firmware for free.

Word of advice, if you just want to debloat your phone, search universal adb debloat. Is an adb based app, you can even have your locked bootloader.
