Samsung S8 Rooting - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I am looking for help on how to root my SM-G950U1 phone. I can't seem to find OEM Unlock in my developer options. What should I do if I want to root my phone?

To root a phone's Android device's bootloader must not be unlocked: this is a widespread misconception.

g530t1 root without brick?

New to this site. Please move this instead of closing it if I'm in the wrong spot. When I look up rooting for the metro pcs samsung galaxy grand prime g530t1 I find allot of people in forums having trouble with there phone being bricked. Some are supposedly due to frp lock or some setting in developer options called oem unlock. People claimed to have successfully rooted the g530t1 with kingroot but claim there grand prime was soft bricked upon restart. I've already accessed developer options and switched oem unlock. I read something about Google being involved with frp lock, and in order to avoid frp lock you must somehow disable, log out, or delete your Google account. How do I root without having to worry about frp lock? Metro pcs samsung galaxy grand prime g530t1 lollipop 5.1.1. PC ACCESS. how can I safely root without brick?

Once you enabled OEM unlocking in developer options, you don't have to worry about FRP.
Also there's a kernel that can root your device so no kingroot needed...

[HELP] Unlocking the bootloader on SM-G920V

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon model to root the phone and install Kali Nethunter on it. The phone is currently running Android Nougat (7.0).
I've seen tutorial say that going in developper setting there should be an option called OEM unlocking, but it isn't there.
