G950 is S8, G930 is S7 what device do you need help with?
Sorry meant 930P
There are root methods, they're not easy on snapdragon, usually require your device to be on older firmware to use exploits, and can be unstable and affect battery life https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...msung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930p-root-xposed-t3503599

For the reply,
I was surfing the Internet to find a method of doing root without tripping knox counter, my s6 comes with marshmallow 6.0.1, do you know any way for doing it?

G900f? That's an s5. What variant do you actually mean?
Anyway on a side note, if you do mean an s6 variant there are no current root methods that does not involve a pc/laptop....sorry dude.

literally type that model number into Google and add the word "root".
Here's one result:
Root XXU1AQG5 Android 7.0 on Galaxy S8 Plus G955F Nougat Firmware
http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/07/25/root-xxu1aqg5-android-70-galaxy-s8-plus-g955f-nougat-firmware/
but there's plenty more here on XDA.
You have to wait for TWRP to be updated to support the AQG5 bootloader, or install any of the AQG5 custom roms found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development while using the AQF7 bootloader.

Why does he have to wait to root? The link I posted clearly roots his phone. It was posted two days ago. Here it is again since you didn't read it the first time.

http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/07/25/root-xxu1aqg5-android-70-galaxy-s8-plus-g955f-nougat-firmware/
Are you saying this is not valid?
Plus if he's got an Exynos S8+, doesn't the S8+ TWRP already work on his phone? IF he also wants TWRP and not just root, he says. I'm not aware of any restrictions on TWRP for S8 Plus as long as he has Exynos, which he does. Yes, he's posting in the wrong forum (S8 instead of S8+), but other than that, please educate me where I'm wrong.

Besides the answers I posted for you above to root and to also install TWRP if you want, you should post over in the correct forum
Samsung Galaxy S8+
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+
You have a Galaxy S8 Plus, not a Galaxy S8. That forum is dedicated to same device you have, and more people will be there to help you even more. But the two links I posted should help you root your S8+ and/or you can install TWRP and root. With TWRP you can also install custom ROMs.
No. That link is not valid. As of today there's no compatible TWRP with new bootloader.
"I am aware of compatibility issues related to newer bootloader.
New version of TWRP will be released soon with support to newer BLs." posted two days ago by @jesec. Are you saying that Jesec's post is not valid?

What about the Galaxy S8+ root link SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS MODEL I posted, which was posted online just two days ago?
It has nothing to do with TWRP. THAT is the part I was asking was valid. Seems you can't read?
But thank you for the updated information on TWRP.
Can you please change your title from "Root S8+ G955FXXU1AQG5" to "How To Root S8+ G955FXXU1AQG5?" this thread got me thinking there was a way to root already. I don't want others being misleaded as well.

The CF auto root for the G955F is based on NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDG check https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ for reference. It will work for AQF7 and below but not AQG5.

Hmmm...it specifically has that AQG5 in the title. And it was posted just two days ago. Very strange if it doesn't work.

Those guides are usually just copy & paste of previous guides with updated version names and numbers. I wouldn't trust those sites, that's what we have XDA for, and if you look at the Question and Answers section you will find numerous threads of people having softbricked their device because of trying to root the AQG5 firmware. Custom firmware is the way to go right now and there are plenty of working rooted AQG5 custom roms here on XDA.
Anyway, you can't root with magisk on AQG5.

That's true you can't get Magisk by doing the CF auto root. But if you use a custom rom then you can have AQG5 and Magisk, you just have to stay on the AQF7 bootloader.

If I'm on AQG5 & want to root, can I just flash the AQF7 Bootloader & keep the rest AQG5?

No that won't work. What you need to do is to use the TWRP update that can be found by joining the Telegram group found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102
If you use the regular update you need to flash the AQF7 bootloader - boot into TWRP - flash the TWRP update - flash AQG5 bootloader with Odin. Then you are free to flash Magisk or SuperSU.
Yeah the method posted (http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/07/25/root-xxu1aqg5-android-70-galaxy-s8-plus-g955f-nougat-firmware/) does not work. Plus there's that point that says "remove battery." Why and how would you remove the battery on a G955F? I like to root and just keep it as stock as possible but this method does not work.
Also when I posted a comment on this site it got removed.
"This method failed. OEM unlock on, USB Debugging on, drivers installed. In download mode the COM does not turn yellow. When I initiate this it fails. And why would I want to remove the battery? I don't have those kinda tools to do it, you gotta be kidding."
Finally I rooted My device Sucessfully....

I'll see if I can track it down. I'd love to help you since we have the same phone. The initial results I get are showing the J737P as using an Exynos chipset. Is there a snapdragon variant?

I believe it. I found 4 results in geekbench, that say its a Universal7885, which I'm finding is the Exynos 7885. Samsung has 3 variants listed on their website. (Virgin, Sprint, Boost) Just says 8 core, 2gb ram under the specs. No cpu listed, of course... I will definitely keep an eye out. I'm also finding information that claims a T-Mobile variant exists. No solid info on a cpu anywhere, except maybe Geekbench. They've been wrong about what device I have numerous times though, so I'm taking them with a grain of salt. I would not be surprised to see a snapdragon among one of the variants.
