How_To_Root_The_Samsung Galaxy Xcover4ltexx SM G390F - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I would appreciate a little help please?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Xcover4ltexx SM G390F
Bootloader Version: G390FXXU2ARA4
PDA Version: G390FXXU2ARA4
CSC Version G390FXXU2ARA4
BaseBand Version: G390FXXU2ARA1
Android Version 7.0 / SDK 24 (Nougat)
Build date Fri, 26 Jan 2018
I am trying to root this phone.
On the phone Settings in the developer options I have
Turned on OEM unlock
USB debugging is ON
I went with what I thought would have been the quickest and easiest option
And ran KingRoot on the PC. This failed me at 98%
I retried several times to no avail.
I then tried other quick root programs. None would root the phone.
I downloaded Odin3_v3.10.6_plus_CF_Auto_Root.
CF-Auto-Root-xcover4lte-xcover4ltexx-smg390f.tar.md5
I followed the instructions step by step and this failed to root my phone
I tried using all the ODIN PROGRAMS up to Odin3_v3.13.1.
All I have manage to do is wipe my phone and put it back to Factory default settings
3 times. I am sick of rebuilding my phone with all my apps and data.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide in how to root this phone successfully.
Thanks, in anticipation of some good advice.

very poor response to the post:crying:

Same here, wasted 6 Hours trying..
tried Kingo Root, Odin 3.13.1 with Auto-root, had to wipe and reinstall via Odin many times OFW.
Only positive Thing is I could install OFW newsest build, but still no luck rooting.
Details:
PDA: G390FXXU2BRH3 CSC: G390FAUT2BRH3 CHANGELIST: 14164118 BUILD DATE: 21.08.2018
Tried firmware.mobi as well, no lucky, Always forced to reload OFW after reboot.
I ran out of Options, time to Sleep and hope to find something more tomorrow.
I'm tempted to get One Click Root for 40$ and see if it works.

Did you ever get your phone rooted?
I have the W version of the xcover4 and I can't seem to root it for the life of me

[Q] Samsung GS3 saferoot will not root 4.3

Hey all, so this may be very much a noob post, but I am struggling with this and have spent way to many hours online trying to figure it out without any success.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on verizon wireless. When I was running it on 4.1.1 I had the device rooted, no problem, worked great and I loved my root. However when I updated the firmware to 4.3, I lost my root access and have not been able to re-obtain root access. I have tried flashing pre-rooted roms with ODEN, no success. I have tried flashing the phone back to 4.1.1 with ODEN, no success. I have tried saferoot for android 4.3, no success and it just says device is not supported (I will attach a screenshot to this post). I have tried saferoot + disable KNOX, and again, no success. All of those I have done in MTP and installer mode each, and with USB debug enabled and not enabled.
Does anyone have any idea how I can re-root my phone?
Device Specs:
Model: SCH-I535
Android Version: 4.3
Kernel Version: 3.0.31
Hardware Version: I535.10
I am having a similar problem as well.

[Completed] Galaxy S4 - Can't get the 5.0 update

I rooted my phone a few months ago and everything was fine. But recently I was prompted to install to 5.0 Lollipop update. I tried and it failed. After some googling I thought it was the fact that I'm rooted. So I unrooted it and now no matter what I do with ODIN it fails.
I've tried:
Changing my kernel. I tried two different kernels, both failed.
Installing Lollipop through 3 different methods. They all failed. (OTA update, through ODIN, recovery mode with the update on my SD card)
Basically ODIN always fails, and any other one-click root method fails as well. (Towelroot, Kingo App, MobileGo Wondershare)
Backstory: The only thing I can think of causing this much trouble is the fact that when I rooted my phone I had to use an old kernel. Everything was failing so I had to roll back my kernel in order to root. I did that. And then my WiFi stopped working. So I changed my kernel back to the original one. I don't know if this would do anything but figured it was worth mentioning.
The goal is to get the 5.0 update installed on my phone. I will settle for just re rooting my phone though.
Phone info (let me know if I'm missing anything):

[Help] Looking to root a SM-G930V (Verizon)

Im currently using a Verizon SM-G930V (Samsung Galaxy S7), the regular one. Not the Edge.
I need assistance with rooting this device using Odin 3.12.3 on Android version 7.0, Knox 2.7.1, running security patch Feb 1, 2017, WITHOUT bricking the phone. Luckily I was able to recover the device myself by reinstalling it's stock firmware.
I haven't found any useful guides on how to root this specific device so I would really appreciate replies here. Last time I tried this, I got bootlooped, but willing to redo with some help. Give me everything I need to root this, other than Odin and the USB drivers, which I already have. Also, im a noob to this.
