So for a bit I've had my Galaxy S8 and decided that i want to root it. I've rooted my S6 just fine out of the box when i got it but it seems to be harder for the S8. I was wondering if theres a way to root tge phone without a PC and such
There is a post somewhere that has a method of doing it, however your BL needs to be BL3, BL2, or BL1. Any newer and the method of rooting wont work.

I've never rooted or flashed my phone before, and I've been wanting to do it for a while but a bit scared to. Don't want to brick my phone.
So to begin with, I wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy S4. I believe the model is sgh m919n. So if you guys could direct me to the correct software to use to root my phone, that would be great! Also I'm on version 4.4.4 just in case that's needed.
Thank you so much.

you need odin and files for cf autoroot from here https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
search cf auto root for more instructions, also you will need twrp recovery for your device before proceding
I guess s4 has a forum in xda.
U can find everything there.
And yeah.
Rooting won't kill ur phone.
For the twrp, do I have to root my phone first or can I do it before I root it?
I bought an unlocked Galaxy J3 (SM-J320A) and i badly want to root it. The 320A is supposedly AT&T, but there's no bloatware or anything on it. The phone doesn't say AT&T anywhere. I'm using it with TracFone. If anyone knows how to root it, please post. By the way, I'm on Marshmallow 6.0.1.
Any news about this? I have the same problem.
According to a post i found on twitter by srsroot, their app is supposed to be able to root this phone (J320A). I tried it and it says rooting complete but the phone isn't rooted.
This may be a bonehead question but...
I've been reading some of the forums for a few days now and Im at my wits end with not being able to root my Verizon Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) due to bootloader blockage. I am noticing that it is seemingly possible to root an S7 on Verizon though. How is this possible considering the same stipulations, and an S6 being the more outdated phone??
On the S6 i believe it's possible via CF-AutoRoot, however, mine (G920W8) got it's IMEI/EFS lost and corrupted by the stock recovery it flashes back so not really recommend using it.
Protip: don't get Verizon Locked devices if you are willing to Root
Hi there, I am wondering if anyone knows if I can root my Samsung Galaxy S7 7.0, model number SM-G930W8.
Carrier is Rogers, purchased from T-booth.
I am looking to retrieve data I have lost. I tried Dr. Fone but they cannot root an android of 7.0 and said if I can get my phone rooted by another way I can still use their recovery tool.
It seems like I have to download Odin. Just want to make sure I do this correctly.
Thank-you in advance!
Have you successfully rooted your device? I have the same device and problem.
There is another user who rooted an s7 (different model from the Rogers/Telus/Bell version) and used Dr Fone which resulted in a fingerprint sensor error: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/finger-print-sensor-responding-using-dr-t3735296
There seems to no longer be a way to root, since the kingroot method seems dead atm. Is it possible to root my device anymore?
