The guy I bought the phone from had bought this phone from Verizon new. I switched it to AT&T. Everyone is telling me that unlocking bootloader and rooting my S8+ SM-G955U is very difficult. I've been reading and reaching the subject for the past month. Watched every YouTube video I could find useful. All the dudes I see on YouTube make it look so effortless and simple. Need some solid advice and steps please, Thx.

Whats up guys Im new to the forums Im not sure if this is the right spot for this topic but iv just only recently figured out about rooting. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon, could any specify me to a page or something where I can find out how to root this phone or to files that I need to root this phone. What are the perks of rooting I already know some, plus will this void my warranty, and is it true that if u unroot your phone before sending it in to your carrier for whatever reason they wont find out you rooted your phone? Thanks for the help to whoever replies.

You can find everything if you make a little search.
See here:

And I find a rom, see it's easy.

And for root, root it like other S5 devices.

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting. The wondershare Root tool didn't work for me. I have a feeling it doesn't work for my model, and looked through the forums here but am very overwhelmed of all the threads.
Can someone help me determine if my phone is rootable? And if so, how to implement it?
It's originally from ATT, but now with Flash Wireless for Tmobile.

Hi all! So I'm pretty familiar with rooting my Galaxy S4 but have recently purchased and upgraded to a Galaxy S7. It's an SM-G930U model and currently set up with my MetroPCS account. I've had some issues finding ROMS that I can use with Odin to root but haven't had much luck. I was able to find stock roms in case something goes awry but no luck with customs. Can someone help me out with a link? Thanks!

There are no custom roms since the bootloader is locked so the rooting process is different from what you are used to, so follow this guide:

Due to US models unlocking the bootloader is not possible. Rooting methods is some what limited.
You can check out S8+ rom section for possible rooting methods. Start with checking threads from jrkruse.

I bought my first OnePlus phone just switched from Pixel. Problem I faced I decided to by the phone from big red instead of Oneplus. So how can I start a fire to get some great XDA developers to figure a way to Root my Verizon OnePlus.
Why did you buy a phone from Verizon? Was the deal that great that it was worth giving up an unlockable bootloader? You can forget anyone finding an exploit, Verizon locks down their phones tight. Should have know Big Red would screw you over....
