Sorry in advance, I couldn't find a definite answer. I know a while ago it wasn't possible but I'm wondering about now. Some say it can be rooted and others say it can't. So can a Verizon Galaxy S8 edge be rooted? Model number is SM-G950U and it is on software version 8.0.0. If it can be rooted, what is the best method?
Edit: what is the latest software version that can be rooted? I can keep it at 8 but if I can update it and root I would like to do that

Okay so I have the AT&T version of the galaxy s6 obviously and from what information I got it already it seems difficult to root this phone I've tried a few methods but they don't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong I currently have service with Cricket Wireless but I'm using a AT&T galaxy s6 with that prevent me from rooting my phone any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
I do not think root is currently possible for the latest (s6) versions of Android.
Correct. Depends on your software version whether it's rootable or not. If you are on 5.0.2 either OF3 or OF4, or any 5.1.1, there is currently no root available.

That spot that says android version 5.1.1. That's your answer. Not rootable.

****! Well can I at least tether my internet? And when exactly did the 5.1.1 update come out
I am new to rooting and have no idea about it.
I have a galaxy s5 at&t 5.1.1 lollipop, and im trying to figure out if there is rooting for it. I tried kingroot and it some days there will be a strategy and some days there isnt.
I found out about systemless root and i have no idea if it works with my version, and i went into recovery mode or whatever its called and i had no idea what to do there....if there is a root or anything out there or lead me to the right direction that would be great thanks.
As far as I have found there is no root or downgrade available for the at&t variant of the s5 (g900a) running 5.1 plenty of us are waiting to update to it, and even more are in your position being stuck there.
Is it worth it to get a new s5 running 4.4.4 ?
Asking opinions here of the group. I can buy a mint condition g900a that still has kitkat 4.4.4 on it so I assume it can still be rooted. Is this worth buying or not?

It can still be rooted.
Correct, however if you can find a g900t in the same range piecewise it would be a better investment
Hi, so I recently got a Note 5 and I'm coming from a nexus 5 which was easy to root. Now I have a N920A and I'm reading that there's no root for this device. Is that true? I'm a complete noob to Samsung devices and I love the power of root so I'm disassappointed that it cannot be rooted. Has anyone found a way to get full root? If so, can you please link the thread? Also, on a side note, how can I manually update the Android 7.0 from 6.0.1 on the N920A model without bootlegging? Thanks everyone.
Ive looked everywhere for this version after I got it back from Samsung Galaxy repair in Texas and I just can't seem to find it so I know the correct procedure for the rooting. Please help.

I imagine you are on the latest Nougat since we can't stop the upgrade/update... Rooting was only available on older versions like 5.1.1 Lollipop.

The S4. I figure it's a better device to start with than bricking my S6 Edge. Lol. I can't free up the bootloader on the S4 though I got it rooted but bootloader isnt unlocked
Verizon locks the bootloader on their phones
Hello. I used to install custom roms like crazy back in the Galaxy S3 days... but haven't done any rooting since.
However, I now got the Note 9 and specifically got a model that I thought was root/TWRP friendly. But now that I'm looking though this forum, I'm not sure what's what.
I found "[Recovery][Unofficial] TWRP for Galaxy Note9 (Snapdragon) N9600]" from September but OP still says "MTP and ADB does not work right now. (Working on a fix)"
I've read various things that Android Pie root isn't sorted out yet? I'm not sure what's outdated and what's current.
Can someone please point me to a guide for rooting a Note 9 SM-N9600 with Android 9 on it? It would be much appreciated.
