Look in the S8 forum for ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ..... There is a thread that will tell you how to root your phone. It is not a simple method, but it is all that we have. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911
Edit - I linked you to the wrong thread which is for the S8+. Use the similar one for the S8. Sorry about that.

You can get it unlocked remotely, I made a video and got the unlock code for free, my Galaxy Note was locked to At&t and I'm using T-Mobile Service with it now.

Hi
I have an IMEI unlock codes server, and I can provide unlock codes for all Samsung phones locked on European networks.
All models are compatible, even the most recent.
The unlock by imei don't make you loose your warranty, and it's permanent.
It's the easiest way to unlock your phone.
All you have to do is power on your phone with an unaccented sim card, type the provided unlock code, and the phone will be unlocked for ever.
The only info that I need is the IMEI of the phone. (type *#06# to see the IMEI)
And the model of the phone.
Delivery time: half hour normally.
SPECIAL OFFER 12€
Contact me at [email protected]
Say that you see this post in XDA to benefit this offer.
Payments by PayPal 100% secure for you.
I have codes for all brands of phones too.
Thanks

HELP Root NOTE 5 N9208 Dual Sim MM 6.0.1

Hello all, could you help me to root my Note 5 Duos N9208 with 6.0.1 update. The build version is MMB29K.N9208ZTU4BPJ1. I tried the cf auto autoroot but the version does not coincide.
Could you help me??

Hi, I have same model from Taiwan, 64Gb version I bought from ebay.
What I did was install CROM from the Samsung app store to enable installation of customer roms. Then you have to go to developers options and enable OEM Unlock and USB Debug.
Then you flash CF-Autoroot via Odin. I installed a different version since I didn't find one that matched my phone version and I had no problems.
If you cannot find CROM in the Samsung app store, google the apk and install it.
To enable Developer option, go to settings > General and tap multiple times the software version, or something there, I don't remember very well which one, but you will see a counter saying something like "tap X more times to enable developer menu."
I hope it works for you, too.

Here is the links from my Google Drive:
CF-Autoroot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3xPBTglKzZ1cVB1TDNmOGN4Yms
Note 5 CROM: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3xPBTglKzZ1Z2czTlo0NUV1ck0
CROM comes in Taiwanese, just install and open it. I did this a year ago, so I don't remember if you have anything like "Accept" and "Decline", maybe yes, but I don't know how to read that in Taiwanese.
Good luck mate! Hope you don't have any issues, I didn't have any. BTW, although CROM won't kill knox, CF-Root will certainly do it.
Cheers!

Is this the right place for Samsung note 9 T-mobile?

Hello All,
It has been a while since I returned back to the forms and seems kinda hard to find the path. . . .
Is this the right place for Samsung note 9 Tmobile? if not, can someone please point me to the correct forums for the T-mobile users who has the Samsung Note 9 Smartphone.
I see a lot of threads for Verizon and ATT and I don't want to be in the wrong place.
Like everyone else, I want to dig into the threads and root my Note 9.

Yes this is the correct place, the threads aren't broken up by carrier anymore also unless you have the Exynos version (which I assume you do not because you said that's on T-Mobile) Root is not available for the Snapdragon variant and I believe it hasn't been since the Galaxy S7?

The Note8 had root... I had a SD Note8 and used the Samfail method to root.

acctualy, the forum is not wrong but your phone is.

Yup! You're in the right place! However, there is no root for the US Note 9s with the Snapdragon processor. Only the international versions have unlockable bootloaders and/or root. But the problem with an international version is no warranty and you won't have as great of a signal due to differences in supported radio bands and lack of carrier aggregation. Though some people in the US have had luck with them.
Also once you unlock the bootloader and root, you break Knox, which is permanent. Once that happens you'll never have Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, etc...again.

The Note 8 HAD root. Samfail was patched long ago when Oreo came out. The developer of Samfail said it was impossible to root the Note 8 now.

Yeah, but he'll lose carrier aggregation, so poorer signal strength, and US Warranty. And once rooted, Samsung Pay, etc.
What I want to do, but not in any specific order
Glad I made it here!!!
Thanks for the reply everyone who chimed in.
Here we go again with the no "root" from the 7 edge to this . . .
T-Mobile had this promotion that was hard to pass up so I upgraded.
What I want to do, but not in any specific order
Root
De-Bloat the bundled apps that I will not use
Install recovery tools
Install backup tools (need root)
Pimp out the kernel
It take me awhile to navigate around XDA to look for these tools and such.
I have never used Samsung Pay nor am I onboard with that service.
If anyone knows where I can find some of these tools, please don't hold back because it will take me awhile to get started.
Thanks Again!

appart from using adb to disable packages, none of the above list is possible without root.
nothing has changed regarding if the device is unrootable then these things aren't possible.

Uh....
YOU
CAN'T
ROOT
THIS
PHONE.
Root is not possible. Root will not be possible. You bought a phone that can't and won't be rooted. The developer of Samfail said it was impossible.
You can't have root.
Just in case you want to root the T-Mobile Note 9...you can't.
Ok, no one has provided a root or cooked a Kernel . . .
Are there any rooted roms that were baked?
Silly to ask, but are there any pure android roms for this Note 9?

I'm not sure why you're so confused. The bootloader can be unlocked. So no custom ROMs. NONE. There is no root and never will be.
What you're asking is impossible.

No root method as the US models have locked bootloaders. Been like this since the S7 came out.

Yes all US Note 9's have locked bootloaders. If you want one with an unlocked bootlader then buy the international Snapdragon model which has a unlocked bootloader.

Questions belong in the Questions and Answers subforum. As a courtesy, I have moved your post. Please ensure you post in the appropriate sections.
An unlocked bootloader is required for root, and Samsung Snapdragon devices are typically not bootloader unlockable.
Enable Developer Options; do you see OEM Unlocking?
hi and thanks for the reply,
Unfortunatly nope... no OEM unlocking..
Since it's already unlocked, i guess it's only carrier unlocked and not factory unlocked, is that right?
I think theres no other way to flash a custom rom, other then by rooting it first, right? or is there other methods without rooting it?
on that thread, lots of discussion about it, and they claim its now possible to unlock snaps https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/snapdragon-root-legit.3966208/#post-84715421
As replied on that thread, there was a root process for older BL versions. Current/updated phones cannot be rooted at this time. If you do root an older BL, you were also stuck at that level - you could not patch or upgrade to newer versions (OS or security patch levels).
Check out the first reply on the second page of the thread you linked..
