I know this is probably shooting in the dark, but: Has anyone figured out how to Root Note 5 on Verizon running Nougat? (SM-920V).
I am a complete n00b, but just from searching, CF-auto didn't work, and I don't seem to be finding a reliable TWRP method when searching.

I just switched from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy s5. I'm not a total noob, I just don't know where to go. This s5 is on Android 5. I'm looking to root it so I can install TWRP. I tried Kingroot and Towel root. The first failed twice and the second said I'm not supported. Can anyone suggest a free tool or ROM to root this phone? Thanks guys.[emoji14]

I don't know about root, but the bootloader is locked on the Verizon S5, so custom recovery is out of the question. There's a subforum specifically for the Verizon S5 here, start your research there.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.
Hey everyone, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Android but I have a couple questions. Thanks to the people who were recently able to get root access, I rooted my SM-G930P.
Are the other s7 ROMs (g930f models) compatible with my phone?
Is it possible yet for me to flash anything onto the s7 (or get xposed installer)? I've never done this stuff before.
Sorry if these questions don't really make sense. I'm learning as I go. Thanks!
Unfortunately, the Sprint variant does not have a bootloader unlock, so you cannot flash any roms.
I've got the SM-G930UZKAXAA arriving today and after a ton of searching, I can't figure out if there's a stable root for it. Do I use the AT&T method with the engineering image for that device?
Also is there just one thread that has solutions for all the problems rooting seems to be giving it?
Honestly I don't even need root that badly, I just want to use Titanium Backup to bring over my apps from my Oneplus 3, since Helium won't work on an encrypted device.
Yes, follow AT&T root directions with EngineeringBoot for G930U. The only problem I had was the wifi saving. There's a couple different ways to fix that. I used S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039.
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 all,
im coming from S5 where everything was easy. Now on my used S8+, Oero was allready installed. After Oreo doesnt seems to be very popular and i havent found a way to root it without a custom kernel and im quite uncertainty on that, im wondering if I can just downgrade to Nougat and root it afterwards with TWRP & CF-Auto-Root.
Downgrading doesnt seems to be a problem, but do i have to consider anything before I go that way?
Got the G955F with Exynos.
Thanks
