Any advice on how to go about this safely would be most appreciated. I want to find a load to remove bloatware and Samsung nosieware.
Cheers,
Evan
If you dont want to take ANY risks, its possible to root with KingoRoot (not KingRoot). [i always use this on other people's phones as i cant afford to risk damaging their devices]
You can also try rooting your device using Odin, as it's a samsung.
You're porbably not in warranty, so if you want to do it the normal way, flash a custom rom (twrp or ofox), then flash the magisk.zip to obtain root.
Look up some tutorials, its not super complicated.

Ok, so i googled a bit and do see that some people have had issues trying this, but most of the examples i was reading were on devices from carriers with locked bootloaders. Since the tmo version has an unloacked BL was wondering if anyone has tried this or not?
I was thinking of simply using flashify or twrp manager to install recovery from within my currently rooted (superuser) rom. Most people that have tried using locked bootloaders endup with a soft brick from what i have seen. Just not sure how much the unlocked bootloader would help us in this situation.
I know i can just use CF auto root but was trying to do it without tripping knox really. However, i have never had issues with any warranty through tmobile (rooted, tripped knox, whatever) and with the announcement of android pay, i am way less interested in samsung pay so tripped knox wouldnt be the end of the world... but still curious
EDIT: So apparently chainfire just released something called flashfire that appears it can do exactly what i am looking for. Anyone else looking for the same should check it out...

So, this will not trip knox? I'm currently stock waiting for the 5.1 update to see if it's worth it to keep stock or root my phone. I just want to root it so bad because I could hypothetically get double battery life with the tweaks I would do. I'm interested in Samsung Pay (sorta) but if Google Wallet/Android Pay will have the same functions, then IDC.

If you install recovery no matter what method it will trip. For Roms, Flashfire won't trip as long as you don't flash boot.img aka kernel. You need to remove it before flashing
The device in question is the note 5 running Android 7.0?
Yes, It is easier than ever. Install TWRP Recovery via Odin; then you install the latest Magisk and voila!

Buddy easy or not it all depends on knowing the rights & wrongs by their pros & cons but I would suggest that you back up your phones before you want to root your phone bcoz I feel that you are new to rooting Note 5.
If you are on warranty or so your Knox will be tripped so there is no safe method root here bcoz without Knox your phone to be covered by warranty.
If you are not on warranty then having custom TWRP from official twrp site for model & flashing through Odin software through pc is recommended.
Magisk is the best rooting & addons modules for any supporting phones in my view.
Perhaps it will be better if you can state whether you know how to get into recovery & download mode of your phone. Also slightly share your knowhow on your understanding so that I can take you to step by step or just guide you to Magisk forum depending on your depth of knowledge.
Hi.
Is it possible to flash TWRP and root with magisk, and then flash relevant stock firmware updates from Samsung using Odin as and when they come?
If so, would flashing said firmwares remove root and TWRP, and/or wipe data? Requiring re flashing TWRP and rooting again after each update?
Basically I'd like to stay relatively stock, just with root and TWRP. But I want to be able to keep the phone up to date without having to use custom ROMs.
And yes, I know once TWRP or root are used Knox is tripped and there's no way to get it back or magically make the warranty valid again. I don't care about that.

Yep, it's not great...
Instead of waiting, you could do a search on your own. This stuff is not from yesterday.
The answer is in s8, s8+, note8, s8, s9+ section. Basically someone has discussed it since Sammy introduced 7 days oem lockout, and ways to circumvent it... Those that know, don't feel like repeating endlessly, when time and search do the job.
The rest discuss wallpapers, screen protectors, cases, and justifications why root is no longer necessary (this from North American users, as if they could).

i bought a new note 9.
i want to remove bloatware, make it more battery friendly, install apps that are needed (ad free). i believe it is called Root, so what shall i do?
i saw this thread, so should this thread is what i should focus on?

If you root you can't use Samsung Pay ever again! Make sure that is something you don't need. I rooted my phone because I want to use dual SIM simultaneously with the SD card, that's only possible with root/custom ROM, because Samsung blocked this in their latest updates.
Then, if you've installed TWRP (recovery) you can backup your complete phone (NAND backup) and experiment with different ROMs and settings (like Xposed).
And before you root or start flashing anything; make sure you have the correct model nbr.
Dr. Ketan's ROM is as close as possible to the original firmware (which is what I wanted). But you can debloat or add options with his ROM tool.
Before you do any of that, why don't you just set the phone up and use it as is for awhile. You can debloat it with adb commands without rooting it.
Only use opensource apps.
Which ROM are you using for dual sim and SD card?
If you "believe" it's called root just stay away from rooting for now ( I don't want to be rude)
Rooting is not something a newbie should just go ahead and do.
Setup the Phone first and use it for a while, think about what you dislike while this time and come back to search for solutions.
I reside in Africa. I got a Samsung Galaxy A33. I need help/advise. I want to uninstall some inbuilt apps, am unsure if that's the right name for apps that came with the device on setup and I also want to use some apps that requires root.
I know little about rooting and 0% about flashing with magisk but am first at learning, I also know little about flashing with odin.
If there is a way to uninstall system apps and inbuilt apps without having to root or to just root the device temporary, please share that info with me about that kindly.
The device is perfect condition with no software errors, I already know that my warranty will be void if I root or unlock my Samsung a33 bootloader.
