First post here, I apologize if this is the wrong place or if it's been covered before - I personally have not been able to find the answer;
Hey everyone I know this is a fairly old phone (the galaxy s6) however it's running Android 7.0 or Nougat. I have been searching XDA, but other than that I've just been finding really sketchy blogs that only half cover how to root/unlock the device. I was wondering if anyone could direct me in the correct path?
My main concern is - since the Phone is MetroPCS... will I have to unlock it before I can root it?
***Side Note:*** I could spend $20 on a code but would prefer not to as I've never had to do that.
Can I root it before I unlock it?
I ask because I found something on gsmhosting called "SM-G920T1 7.0 unlock done by great Octopus"
Which showed that the device had been rooted prior to unlock.
It's been a while since I rooted a phone so if anyone can supply a step-by-step for this exact model, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi there all!
I just got a new galaxy note 10.1 from South Korea and I have some questions.
I tried to find a guide to root the device but I couldn't find anyone specific for this model,
and I'm not sure if it's because I'm new to android (former apple fan, first android based device I own),or just because there aren't any
I hope someone can help me and guide me a little bit
Many thanks

I've got the same model that I bought when I lived in Korea last year. The file I've used to root is called
CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifiany-p4notewifiany-shwm480w.tar.md5
I got it somewhere here on the forum (don't remember where, so search for it. I just install it with Odin (again, read the root section on how to use Odin)
As for other firmware, I haven't had much luck. For some reason, the FW installs, but won't fully boot (boot-loops at Samsung screen). I haven't asked any of the smart people on here for help, but there is probably some trick to it. This model appears identical hardware-wise to the 801x models, but I guess it's not. I ran into the same problems with my original Galaxy S phone when I lived in Korea, only it was much different hardware-wise than the international version.
So rooting is easy, other FW, I haven't had luck with, but I haven't tried that hard to change it, either. There have been a few posts specific to this model on here, so search for them, too. But again, very little info on this model.
Hi, I am on T-mobile and trying to purchase an HTC One m8 which is rooted and locked to AT&T. Would it be possible to get the cellphone unlocked even though it is already rooted while on AT&T? I found a service on ebay which provides unlock codes for $3 but in their description it mentions that I should not try to purchase the code if my device is already rooted. I am a complete noob when it comes to android so please explain in detail. I searched around on google and in other threads but was unable to find a definitive answer to my question. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can't answer your question about the unlock code BUT you probably can unroot the phone and flash the stock firmware before using the code.
Hello,
I purchased a Zeepad 7DRK with the plans of it just being a simple remote for my Chromecast's.
When the device came in there are a lot of crappy bloat applications installed on the device that I am unable to remove.
I purchased this item 1. because it was cheap only $45 2. because at least the earlier version came already rooted.
Well this one did not come rooted. I installed root checker and was able to confirm this.
Does anyone know if this device is able to be root? or if anyone is working one it?
It looks like this is one of their new models and I am not able to find much information on it.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can't find a specific root method for your device, but head over to this thread and take a look:
How to Root Any Device
Good luck!
Thread closed, thanks.
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to know if anyone has already figured out or through a different method, can help me root my phone.
It's an LG phone under GSM technology by TracFone for Walmart Straight Talk service. the Model is "LG l21g" .
It is specifically running Android 5.0.1
I've heard it's best to follow a root process uniquely made for the exact model of your phone. But since TracFones lack much in rooting fame, I'm hoping that there is a safe generic method used to provide basic root access to phones/devices that have the respective OS. For which in my case is version 5.0.1
Also note that although i am new to rooting. I am not new to computers in general. I have searched for quite a while for a way to root my device by model. But finding nothing has lead me to this site, and the closest thing i've found is the CDMA version reference of my model here. Which doesn't quite seem solved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can't find anything related to your question on XDA, please ask here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hi, I have a Tracfone LG Reflect (LGL555DL). I've been searching the forums and can't find information on rooting. Are there some rooting instructions for this phone? Or a way to install viper4android without root?
Thank you everyone in advance
I also have a tracfone reflect LGL555DL version 9 and having very little luck obtaining any helpful information on how to go about rooting. I see this was posted a month ago with this being the first reply. Sorry it's still to say not rootlng. I was told to try pc version. Have you had any luck on your end? Seems like someone would if had something to say...
