Question Is Modding Dead For Modern Snapdragon Samsung Flagships? - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

I have been away from the community since about the Note 10+ due to the impossible chance of rooting the Snap variations at the time. I am wondering if this has been remedied? Is true root still possible on Snapdragon chips? Are awesome ROMs still be developed if so? Is TWRP still a useful and usable tool In this day and age? I'm glad to be back to the community today and I'm desperately hoping that good news will follow in this thread.
Thanks for having me back.

Depends what device and what bootloader version the device is on. Its a paid service now

Really? How do you go about paying? And do you need to pay to access the area where the Mod ROMs would be? So for example, I have a US ATT Snapdragon Galaxy S22 Ultra. From what I see there is no Modded ROMs for it but I do think I saw a root method. So would I need to pay to access a area where Mod ROMs would be?

You need to pay $150 (IIRC) to have your bootloader unlocked.

S22 Ultra - Snapdragon has a root ecploit already, It's detailed here.

Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader You...

Also, Have a look here. Very good guide if you're catching up on root after a while.

He's discussing the US model, which is bootloader locked. The root method you posted is for the B and E models, not the U.

Any Hope of Root for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Retail Ed (SMN910VZKE)?

My apologies in advanced if this question has been broached recently on this platform (or if I'm in posting to the incorrect forum).
I have the Verizon Retail Edition of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SMN910VZKE). Thus far, I'm seeing root is available for Develeper Edition (SMN910VMKE) only. I'm hopeful that an exploit has been discovered that will, happily and at long last, enable rooting of the retail edition.
Shall I hold out hope or, sadly, abandon it?
Thank you all in advance!!

That's a pretty large thread regarding rooting the VZW Note 4 Retail.
TL ; DR version is that root HAS been achieved. However this Samsung and Verizon have incorporated a write protection that makes root temporary. Once the device is rebooted, root disappears.

Ty,BN. Wiping root on reboot renders rooting device fruitless - at least for my purposes. Well, I've learned my lesson. Will be far more careful in future when choosing my next smartphone / tablet purchase.
Ty again for your contribution and for the link. :good:
Cheers!

Need help deciding

I looked around and didnt see a forum regarding this. Hey guys/gals I need a little advice on whether or not I should buy the retail note 4 edge. How's development doing on the retail version of the N4-Edge? I def gotta have root as well as bootloader unlock. Should I buy this device or not?
Also if the retail note 4 edge can be bootloader unlocked and rooted would I be able to flash ROMs ment for the dev edition note 4 edge?

Thanks brother I will take a look at the specs on the s7 edge.
Ill probably pass on the s7. I'm leaning towards the huawei mate 8 or mate 9. Both have the specs and development I'm looking for.

PSA- Root is Out for All USA S8's & S8+'s

Head to the main S8 and S8+ forums and you will see a Sampwned tutorial to get root. Thanks to all the hard work of the dev's in making this possible! Here's to hoping for modified stock roms in the near future....
Is this root like the s7 using the engineer kernel where performance and battery life totally tanked? And is the bootloader unlocked or no?
