S8 Snapdragon Variant Android 9 (Pie) Root - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I have searched almost all forums on XDA and online couldn't find anything which could help with me rooting my Samsung S8 Snapdragon variant SM-G950W. Odin way fails, I believe the reason is the Qualcomm secure boot is enabled. I tried to find a lot of ways to disable but all of them said its not possible to disable this setting. There is a possibility that I might have missed something because I couldn't find any post where people with S8 Pie Snapdragon variant trying to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom on it. I would really appreciate if there is anything you guys can suggest or point me in the right direction.
I have attached the screenshot of Odin's error.

Little help please

My phone is beginning to lag some so I'd like to root and use a custom Rom. It's been a bit since I had a phone I could do it to so I don't want to screw this one up. I've read a bunch of threads but there's too much to go thru. Here's what I'm running, what would be the best/easiest way to get this accomplished. Thanks

There are no custom roms for the Snapdragon variants yet that I know of. The bootloader hasn't been unlocked so no custom recovers either.
I'd read up on the downsides of rooting this phone too (only charging to 80%, knox tripped, etc)

Getting TWRP and Rooting LG K7

I currently have the LG K7 model number- LG-K330, it has a T-Mobile Carrier.
I have been wanting to root it, and get the TWRP recovery, but I have been really struggling with this device. The article I was following earlier, was not very specific, and I have only done this with one other device, which was android 4.2.2, so that was a lot easier to do then this. I mainly want to do this because......idk I just do . And my other phone is dying, the screen

Can I install official TWRP right from plays store in a OP8 (IN2015) ??

Hi ! I have a OnePlus 8 IN2015 with bootloader unlocked but not rooted , I understand the official TWRP recently added support for this device (instant noodle)
My question is can I just hit download TWRP and follow the instructions and be done straight from the phone ? Do I need magisk first ?
Also when I click the drop down menu to search for a device it says failed to connect to the server ?

It's been quite a while since I've flash anything on my devices but none of this is new to me, I just been feeling the itch to start flashing stuff again, I just wanted to be completely sure before flashing.

trouble bypassing google frp pixel 4a (sunshine)

hey guys, hope someone can help or guide me towards the right direction, thing is apparently I don't know my google account password. Great way to find out while messing around with my phone trying to root. Has anyone been able to bypass the FRP? the thing is i believe its on the most recent firmware:

I thought maybe flashing the most updated firmware would do the trick but it already has it installed. If i were to flash the same firmware would it remove the google lock? I tried the youtube tutorials but wasn't able to get it to work. any suggestions please would be greatly appreciated!
