Hello, sorry if there is any post similar to this one. I'm relative new about this.
I'm trying to root a Samsung S8+ (SM-G955W). I found two post about it
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/root-canadian-s8-sm-g955w-variants-t3680497
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911
But I have some doubts. This device have Android 9.0 and the baseband is G95WVLU5CSC1.
Can I root that version of android? also if I follow those guides it will change to U version right? If that happen, do I will able to get access to the *#2263# service mode code?
Thanks in advance.

I want to root my samsung galaxy s6 non-edge - g920f.
The problem is, I found a video where you download the twrp from google drive, I couldn't download that file since too many users had already downloaded it.
I then searched for a one-click root, which failed since the ones I found don't support 6.0.1 or are only for the edge.
Would someone mind helping me? Thanks soo much in advance everyone.
this might help
I just recently rooted my gs6 running 6.0.1 by cf-autoroot. Just type cf-autoroot android 6.0.1 and it should pop up . if it doesnt then hit me up i will send you the download link. its quite easy so you shouldnt have any problems.
Here is the TWRP;

Hello guys, i want to root too, but for rooting with CF is it required to have a unlocked bootloader? And how to unlock my bootloader because I'll be flashing some custom ROMs?

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.

If that phone is on marshmallow then root is not possible unfortunately

Ok so I have a U.S. Galaxy S8 SM-G950U (Sprint)
Android Version: 8.0.0 (downgraded from 9.0) Android Security Patch Level: July 1, 2018 Baseband Version: G950USQS5CRF5 Build Number: R16NW.G950USQS5CRF5
This model doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and after doing a couple of days research on the net, it seems impossible that it can be unlocked because it's Snapdragon.
I really want to root this phone with TWRP recovery and SU Superuser or just another variant that allows me to install SU Superuser.
I've seen reports on XDA Dev that it's been figured out for S8+ but for S8 it seems the OEM unlock is still needed.
Can ANYONE help? Is there any way of rooting this model at all? A link to a step by step guide would be great or any advice/info you can give.
Thank you!
Don't know if you have moved on, found out the answer or are still interested in an answer. I'm not anyone with much of any knowledge about these types of things but I have an s8 and had it rooted. So the short answer is YES IT IS POSSIBLE. Good luck with your endevours
Is your S8 snapdragon? If so what version are you on? Im on Android 9 Pie with snapdragon. I would love to be able to root
I got the same issue, samsung s8 Sm-G950U unlocked from Sprint i got no idea on how to root it first and then unlock it for any carrier. OEM unlock is not active on Sprint devices and i think this is the key to successfully get the phone rooted. Any suggestion would be appreciated for that specific type of phone and carrier/ Thanks

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.

Hello guys I hope someone here can help me. I've been searching but I couldn't find any solution.
My main goal is to change my s6's IMEI. In order to do that I am willing to do anything such as rooting.
As far as I researched I can't root an android 7.0 920a at&t. But can I downgrade it to 5.1.1 to root it? If I manage that can I really root it?
Thanks for your time and help guys.
