I've done quite a bit of digging and it seems that this variant is not supported by any root method. TWRP doesn't support it, and no one click root supports it, so I am kinda at a dead end here. Thanks for the help in advance.
EDIT: I am running on 6.0.1 by the way.
I've been searching since I got the phone at release. Everything that claims to root the g928a has been a scam/virus. Its pretty much a dead end phone for rooting. I'll be buying an unlocked phone or an iphone when my contract is up! Definitely won't be buying another samsung phone
Greetings. Does anyone know of root g928a 6.0.1?
So, I tried to root my brand new nuu x4, but i cant find a good way to root it because it seems like any method there is of rooting isnt supported by this phone. im not exactly in a position to buy a phone just for rooting, but I would definitely enjoy a rooted phone. If there is a method that supports my phone or that supports any type of phone, im trying to root with SuperSU, through the custom recovery boot and such. thanks in advance!
Not sure if this is where it belongs, move if I'm in the wrong place
Hey guys, I'd like to get some feedback before I take the plunge and risk blowing up my phone. I currently have a custom ROM on my note 8, but I'd like to go back to rooted stock, and N950FXXS7DSHC is the latest, as far as I know. Is it still possible to root with TWRP and Magisk on this latest update? From what I can tell, the bootloader is now 7, and I'm not sure whether that changes anything about the root process with things like RMM bypass, verity, etc... Any help would be appreciated.
Hey guys. Just upgraded to the s10 5g from a note 8
Will there be a root option in the future similar to how we rooted previous models That doesn't require doing the button commands during boot and ect? I want to root. but dont really trust the current root method. Seems like alot of things can go wrong with it.
Hey yall,
So I have a Galaxy Note 8 and of course it is SM-N950U VZW running Android Pie, and BL is N950USQS8DTJ1. Now all the crap I've dug through to research the process to root it I haven't found any way to do so. Now I'm curious as to wether it can be done considering Snapdragon wont allow the bootloader to be unlocked? Now I have read one forum that claims that we can now unlock the bootloader on Snapdragon but all i could seem to find was a bunch of bickering back and forth. Is it possible to do so now or is it just a fancy ruse? If someone can point me to the right path i would appreciate it. Please keep in mind that i am somewhat familiar with the process of rooting but I'm a better tech than I am on the software side so please be specific about your answer and forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I'm self taught over a couple years now so it's been a try and learn process. I'm also curious as to if cwm or twrp can be installed and used on it as well.

Exact same scenario... I see some ROOT possibilities with S7 bootloader, but appears ours is S8, so is ROOT possible with this BL version?

Root Galaxy Note 8 Snapdragon using Extreme Syndicate Method (SM-N950U/U1)
A step-by-step guide on how to root Snapdragon Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950U/U1) running V8 bootloader using the Extreme Syndicate root method.

Trying to use root method from Extreme Syndicate, in particular, XDA RD elliwigy, even though it says for BL S7 and I have S8. Not getting far... ODIN3 tool hangs in flash process... not sure this will work, but continuing to hack at it...

Did successfully root Note 8 with S8 and loaded Nougat. ODIN3 wasn't working, but after reading thru the thread, I used a different cable, directly into a USB port on the PC (was on a hub), then ODIN3 worked fine. Will live with the 80% battery issue for now. May buy a OnePlus 7T evidently best (easiest?) phone to root? The Note 8 is not my primary phone and was a phone I had laying around so it'll do for now. Thanks to this forum for providing a solution albeit not ideal. Like these small victories.
Does this work for N950USQS8DTJ1?

Yes, that is the same version of mine... works but with caveats... for one, I couldn't get Life360 to work after rooting... Tried all versions, including old ones for Nougat, no worky. Some apps don't work, some are quirky, however, only affects few apps here and there. Overall, everything works just like on stock OS. And very thankful it is an available option for root. The biggest thing for me is the battery bug, max charge of 80% just doesn't cut it, doesn't last all day, so I'm forced to carry a portable charger, and it's only going to get worse over time. This alone is going to force me to get another phone, maybe a OnePlus 7T, I see those are supposedly easiest to root. But this root does work for yours (and my) version of Note 8!
