I have a Note 5 SM-N920C with baseband version N920CXXU2A0J3
Kernel Version 3.10.61-594515 [email protected] #1 Fri Oct 9 21:14:40 KST 2015
Build number LMY47X.N920CXXU2A0J5
Is it possible to root this version? if so which files do I use?
I researched and read most of the threads regarding rooting the N920C but this baseband version isnt mentioned and I'm not positive I can root it so I'd like some advice please before I go ahead and do it
I've rooted all my previous Samsungs with no problem but as this is such a new phone I thought it best to ask 1st.
Anyone?

I rooted my SM-N920C by installing Phil recovery, followed by SkyHigh kernel and the Beta SuperSU.
Phone is functioning perfect, no issues.
Here is the link to the guide and downloads.

Finger print works fine for me.
There is an Xposed module for private mode.
Samsung Pay. I don't think will work with rooted device.

Hey guys,
I am thinking of rooting my Motorola X 2nd Gen and so far I have found older and more outdated ways of rooting the phone.
I have never done anything like this with phones so I will need some guidance to make sure I don't mess anything up.
I have done some research and have watched many YouTube videos on how to root the phone but many of them show the phone with older versions of Android and in the comments it says that that way of rooting the phone will not work with 5.1. If it is useful, my phone is originally from AT&T and after I finished the two year contract with them I had them unlock it and I am not with Ting. Not sure if that info is necessary but might as well provide as much as I can.
Anyways, my question for you is if there are any guides to root my phone that are current and are proven to work.
I really appreciate your time and your help.
Let me know if I can provide any more information that will help you in helping me!

You need an unlocked bootloader for that.
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNja2M6zc0
If you have an AT&T XT1097 and on the Android 5.1 08-01-2016 security patch, there currently is not a way to gain temproot in order to unlock the bootloader. We have to wait for tools like kingroot/kingoroot to be updated.

There might be a way to temproot, Try using the Dirtycow exploit, It worked with my Moto X2... Till i accidentally hard bricked it
Please, I was searching but I found nothing yet.

There is no root meethod for the AT&T bootloader therefore no root. If you had used the search you would have found dozens of other people asking the same thing.
If anyone discovers a method how to root that phone you can be sure it will be published here and everybody will now. For now all I can refer you to is my thread on how to update the phone to the latest Marshmellow update (but that might prevent you from installing any root that is based on Lollipop in the future).

EDIT: Actually there is a root method https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733 for very old firmware versions. Still there are no custom roms that I know of.

Thanks a lot for reply, after a looooong search I have found this: http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s5-active-to-lollipop-root-it-and-enable-wifi-tethering/
So, I do that and now, I'm in Android 5.0, with baseband G870AUCU2BOF3 and happily rooted. But I have a question, Can I update to Marshmallow following your thread?
Thanks a lot again.

You can but you will lose root. There is currently no root method for Marshmallow.
Hello.
I was just wondering how exactly you did this? You downgraded to 5.0, and rooted from there? Can you explain to me what you did to root the G870A?

Android Version: 8.0.0
Security patch level: Dec 1st, 2018
I haven't rooted a phone since I had my HTC M7 back in the day. Now I have a Note 8 with Sprint and I was wondering about the legality and if there's any penalties for rooting it (if there are any). It's been a while and I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the threads on XDA so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction or give me some advice, thank you.

You're not able to root anyway because you're on bootloader version 5 and there is no root available for that version!
Where can we download the latest software version that came out with January security patch.......or the one for February if it's out? I'm wanting to ODIN back from Pie DRL7.
I've tried many things from cf auto root odin file and
the method on here and nothing seems to work. anybody have a concrete way to root a Verizon SM-G950U ?

Cf auto root only works on unlocked boot loader devices. There is a guide in the main site threads for installing safestrap then rooted system images
Do you mean xda?, or cf, site

Ahh sorry mate missed your post. The cqrrier specific threads here on s8 and up are pretty much dead. Yeah the safestrap and junk is all here on xda. Cf technicly is made for us yes. But because we have a locked bl it wont work. But if we where say to unlock it tomorrow yes cf auto would work perfectly in therory..if you search xda and s8 no verizon youll be taken. Screw it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8
The s8 is not like past devices. All U.S. models are identicle so any 950u thread can or will apply to you as well. Xda has a wonderful search bar at the top of each page and it actually works really good once you get to know it.
I'm coming late to the party so to speak.
I finally got a S8 (Verizon) but have yet to move over to it.
My current phone is an S7 (Verizon) and via this website I was able to use a "non-customized" firmware ROM files along with odin3.12 to flash my S7. I did that so that I could use the "moblie hotspot" feature and give wifi to my laptop as I have unlimited data on my phone.
My S7 is "stuck" on Android 7, July 1, 2017 security patch, G930UUES4QG1 which I have been fine with not getting any verizon updates so long as I can use the "moblie hotspot".
Are you saying that with the S8 it is **NOT** possible to do what I did with the S7?
Here is the info on my S8
Model: SM-G950U
Carrier: Verizon
Android Version: 8.0.0
Baseband: G950USQS5CSB1
Kernel: 4.4.78
Build: R16NW.G950USQS5CSB1
Android Security Patch: FEB 01, 2019
Bro if u found then tell me.
