Isn't there a way to root this device yet?

Isn't there a way to root any version of this device yet? I can live without cyanogenmod or many custom roms but without root would be really tough.

There is root and cyanogenmod 12 for g800f and g800h.

I know about cyanogenmod but I'm wondering about root. Where are the posts about root? Can you post them here? I looked in the development and original development (as well as the general forum) and didn't see anything.

I used this method to root my SM-G800F:

It worked very well

Thanks for sharing !
But i have one small question: do you need to unlock the bootloader in order for this to work ? Because they always say that in rooting tutorials.

Just unlock bootloader in Motorola's devices, in Samsung's devices no need it but your knox counter will trigger like unlock bootloader (warranty is void)

Yours is still a G800F phone. There shouldn't be any problem using the method suggested.

Wow thank you for the swift response! I'm sure you are correct, but my only concern is the bottom of the post containing the tutorial states its ONLY for a build No. different from mine. Again any further advice would be a great help! Thanks

I hadn't notice that. I guess you can ask in some chainfire specific forum or wait for someone that has rooted successfully with a slightly different phone model number.

I performed a software update when I got the phone a few weeks ago - does this change the build No? Kind of annoying if so, haha - as probably could have rooted with the method mentioned otherwise!
Anyway, thanks a lot for the advice I'll check in a Chainfire forum.
Cheers

Have rooted my phone now! :good: Found the info on another thread - it would appear that the root file I used (CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5) is identical to the one mentioned in this thread - so in this case build No doesnt seem to matter. Cheers

Should be just the same as in Oreo. Use Magisk for it. Search for the tutorial in the General Discussion thread.

Then I advise you not to root if you are not willing to put in the effort of researching beforehand. The last thing you need is a 200$ paperweight thought that is highly unlikely with this device.
The process of rooting itself is never that complicated, but it's aimed at the enthusiast who is willing to put the time into research and troubleshooting. If you lack the will, then this would be a major waste of time.

No.. Until Magisk dev has what he needs to root (kernel source), which may not happen, stay on 8. Huawei just can't do anything right, but they cheap. I'm starting to think Huawei is the 'iPhone' for ppl who didn't want an iPhone haha.

root note 9 snapdragon?

hi everyone, is there any way to root the note 9 snapdragon android 9?
I'm looking everywhere and I can not find anything

Root operation is not possible for N960U phones.
For N9600 phones, there is a topic for root in the forum.

this is not a usable for daily use. its for devs that want to play around in combo firmware. but its crippled and basically useless as a daily driver.

Yep it's just reading material for the op and a place to check when root is achieved down the road.

You need to edit your thread tile "root note 9 snapdragon? " because N960F is Exynos model not snapdragon model and that gave the wrong answers for your model.
For the n960f read this thread:

Read page one and search thread if it works for pie!

Need help to downgrade my note 8 to a previous update (N950USQU7DTA3)

So, couple months ago AT&T released an update (in January 2020) which I saw a significantly improved battery life by 25% I was planing to disable my updates for future updates because I really liked it! However, 2 weeks later one day i wake up and my phone forced a new update and the battery life got back to the same even worse that what it used to be before that first update! Now, I am looking to downgrade my update to (N950USQU7DTA3) to be specific. I cant seem to find the file. Is there a source to find it? Also, Its been years since I've done this. Is there a way you guys recommend doing it without causing any issues?
Thanks!

At&t does not post firmware. Just flash any US firmware it's all the same. It will provision to your At&t sim
SM-N950U Extreme Syndicate Root

@kamycrs
Please don't post questions in the development section. I have asked a moderator to move it to the correct Q&A section, please bare this in mind for any future posts.

Do you know how I can find and flash that specific one? N950USQU7DTA3? or to find which would be the most identical?

The search function is an amazing thing...But I will do it for ya...Sammobile or Frija[emoji16][emoji106]

If your updated to bootloader 8 you cannot go back to 7

Bootloader is 5th number from the right - N950USQU7DTA3

What's ???* you're definitely not the best also please.

Well when Elliwigy and Jrkruse give information you can bet its spot on. And MrMike has been around for quite awhile. Just try to take the advice given and understand none of these guys will lead you down the wrong path. Good luck and hopefully you will find something that works out for you[emoji106]
