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.

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.

IAll the info I find it seems is for every model but mine. I don't even understand the model number other than the American stands for its a AT&T built phone. Can someone please help me flash the correct firmware for my model phone and also will it change this number to say a G920F??? I really don't want to ruin my phone....

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.

Hello!
Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to be posting this question. If there is another place to post, please let me know!
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5. The bootloader is locked and I just don't have the time to mess with it. I would love to mail it to someone who could help unlock the bootloader and put on a ROM like Lineage OS. If anyone here would be able to help with this, let me know your price and how much time it would take to do this. The 6.X upgrade was performed so I've heard it might not be able to be downgraded to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Really this is all out of my knowledge-base so I apologize if I'm not explaining everything correctly.
Either way I'd love help with this. If you are the US that'd be ideal as mailing internationally is no fun.
Thanks!
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:
