Do we have a solid root method for the N920V? I've been looking around in the forums and some people claim they have root while some people claim they don't. Is there a 100% solid root method that I can use? Or are we stuck for now?
Does a cat fly south for the olympics? No, there are no root methods for the N920V.
so far no one can hack/crack n920v bootloader. Me also waiting for this info. My n920v still not root yet until now..

I bought a verizon galaxy s4 a few weeks ago and foolishly updated it. I now want to root it and i havent rooted anything in months but i wasnt to worried until i cant seem to find if you can root with version VRUFNK1. I found 1 thread where someone said they bricked there phone trying on this version. If it possible please let me know and what method to use.
you can actually root it safely only if you downgrade back to the VRUFNC5 bootloader , the use the vroot method.

I done some research and am very lost as to what to do. there are no clear instuructions on how to downgrade from vrufnk1 to vrufnc5 at all that I can find. can someone elaborate on this and give me a little more detailed instuctions and possibly links to the files ill need or websites where to find them. And is it possible to even downgrade without first being rooted? Sorry its been years since i have done this and it was way simpler on the kindle fire.
I have a buddy thats in the same boat, he's got a newer s4 and wants to rom it for his first time.
I am also in this predicament. I had a galaxy nexus that I would flash different roms to every week but I upgraded via Verizon to the S4 a few months ago -- bloatware is awful and is taking up over 7GB of my 16... Would love to get a jump on rooting, but I can't find anything on this build aside from this thread and another few posts that were also unanswered. Any help or direction would be great -- do y'all think there will have to be another way to root this build, or can downgrading be okay?
Same boat
I too am in the same boat, for some reason with i545vrufnk1, I can't root so want to downgrade the firmware to a firmware that allows me to root, tried all the various methods to root but for some reason I can't, think it might be the firmware or the knox software package.
I believe you could root with Towelroot.

towel root won't work
I tried it with the latest official update and it won't work. I'm looking to root as well.
[How-To] Root I545VRUFNK1 4.4.2 (12-1-2014)
Look for this thread on xda search tab. It worked for me. Just follow closely.
I followed the downgrade instructions and got root back. Is it Verizon that makes it a pain in the ass? I don't know what I would do without this place and helpful people

I think they mean to say he can't find the firmware for his phone. I personally haven't heard of Cspire so this may be why. The MetroPCS firmware took a while to be found. In any case, find your firmware HERE but I can't be sure it may be there. Good luck.
Stock Firmware

If your model number happens to be a SM-G930R7, I happened to find a working stock firmware to recover the OS back to working order. If you do have said model, I can set the files up somewhere for download and you just do the usual with Odin.
Hello friends from XDA. I used to be an avid android user for many years starting with the release of the G1 and have had many devices and have a lot of experience as a flash whore over the years. Got in the hot tub a couple years ago and fried one of my phones and have been using an iphone ever since. I got my hands on a gs6 and would like to switch over but it needs to be unlocked.
Model: SM-G920A
Badeband G920AUCS5DPI1
Build: MMB29K G920AUCS5DPI1
So i need to know the best/easiest way to root AND unlock this fella. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rooting can be done by using cf-autoroot, there's an official thread in the original development forum which contains instructions. Now about unlock, whereas previous s series phones could be network unlocked via root methods, the s6 cannot, you will need to use a paid method for this.
Well I cant find that model on the cf-autoroot forum. From what I can tell the ATT version (SM-g920A) has a locked bootloader? Anyone know how to unlock bootloader or if there is another way that works? I posted on the cf-autoroot forum and am still awaiting a response. Thanks for the help in advance!

Ah gosh that's right, I did a little research before in this as there was another user with this query, I'm sorry to say that 6.0.1 on your variant can't be rooted, the only root methods ever available was for the lollipop software version, there's no way to downgrade either as far as I know.
Hello XDA Forums,

Right okay cool thanks for that. I have bad news for you, because your phone has a locked bootloader it cannot be rooted at this point until an exploit is found. I even had a look over in the At&T s6 forums and there's not much going on. Sorry mate.

That sucks but thanks for the straightforward answer. But there's really 0 options for me at this point? Not even downgrading or flashing? (Just some terms I've picked up, don't exactly know what those mean)

Unfortunately not, downgrading is when going from one version to the previous, due to how samsung setup their bootloader, trying to say go from nougat to Marshmallow is not possible so you will always remain on nougat. Flashing is commonly done via a recovery and a piece of software called odin, every phone has a recovery but most root things need you to have a custom recovery like twrp this can only be achieved via having root, odin is used to flash stock Samsung firmwares. Hope that helps a bit. For the time being my advice to you is to keep looking at the s6 at&t forums from time to time, at some point they may come out with a root exploit that works.
I have an S7 with the build number R16NW.G930TUVSACSI1, and I'm trying to find any way to root the device. I know the bootloader is locked. I'm not worried about custom ROMs. I just want root. Is that possible, at this point? It looks like 7.0 on this device could be rooted with cf-auto-root, but I have 8.0, and I don't think you can downgrade? Anybody have a fix for me? Thanks in advance!

Check out this thread; it's how I rooted mine. The eng-boot.tar that you need is posted a few times near the end of the thread. The ones that come in the root.zip aren't for the A/10 bootloader. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616.
