I find that this method is the best to root your device. Just select SM-G935F from the list and follow the instructions.

I did this when I first got the Snapdragon S7 Edge and it worked but bugs, and plus, if I can't use Samsung Pay and Samsung Health, then this is pointless to root. I reflashed to default firmware, and then I used T-mobile Unlock app and unlocked sim on phone, then I flashed the Unlocked firmware from Sammobile (TMK) onto the phone. Now I do not have T-mobile bloat and boot. I also get OTA updates 2 weeks ahead of normal T-mobile updates. So this root is not good to me. Plus, Oreo is just any day now with OTA, and I am willing to be a little more patient.

yay another root thread!
Didnt see an actual Chainfire CF-Autoroot post is all.
I'm rooted with the tmo version but I'll try this one too. I have a bad stutter constantly and wonder if that has anything to do with it
So has anyone try rooting using this method?
Yup

Did you install the Samsung USB drivers?
Have you tried a different USB port on your pc?
If that doesn't work try to Uninstall amd reinstall the Samsung USB drivers.
Anyone else notice tremendous lag after rooting this phone?
Mine has significantly slowed down and lags constantly where as before it was lightning quick. Any fixes for this?
Mine does that no matter which root I used

Yep.... Is that the cause?
I rooted with the T-mo version of chainfire (before the Sprint version was available).
How do I revert/unroot to stock so I can then root via the Sprint version?

Look in the "Note 4 is rooted" thread or almost every other thread that mentions lagging while rooted -- it's been clearly defined as being Xposed causing it at the moment. Root on it's OWN should never cause any lagging issues like that.

Yes, everyone needs to quit asking that. And no there will most likely never be a way to root without tripping it, so just root.

What about root? Is there a clean root method that doesn't cause a bunch of ****?
Want to try to play shield games, mount and blade for instance.

I've heard the same about our bootloader
but here's the firmware you were asking for:
dubdubdub sammobile dot com slash firmwares slash database slash SM-G935p
(sorry about the lack of link, I'm under 10 posts still)
I have been using the G935U firmware since October. I like to pretend it's the closest I'm going to get to a debloated ROM for this phone.

I had the same problem, found a root method that worked but lost my cell internet connectivety, still had calling and texting though.

Rooting after a certain version has the issues you described. I think it happened when the BootLoader upgrade happened. Look into the u firmware. Rooting on this device is different and kind of unstable.

to my understanding from other methods that i've seen on here they all say to remove ur sim card so idk might be an option if someone wants to attempt it and if it works I'm down for doing it
I found one with all workarounds for the problems with rooting this phone. Fixes for data cell service, and you can google wifi fix to save your wifi information after reboot. Involves build.prop editor.
@Nickvanexel Normally when folks boast about something important on a popular device, they back it up with either a how-to or links that point them in the right direction. Not only to verify proof but its also common courtesy. I see neither the 2 from you on this post or anywhere else. So tell me...

I honestly don't have the device I sold mine so flash at your own risk bootloaders might be the same or just wait for other users to test worst case you will need to flash to original firmware .. just make sure you have a backup firmware if it fails at some point

Got it cheap on swappa. What's the difference? They are all the same hw, just different SW.
@MicroMod777 That's a very good question I was doing some test on it but I sold my S8 and S8+ for a good price ... I'm actually making it have to have adb by default without OEM enable meaning I'm able to remove google accounts of it don't tell me how I do it ... just wait couple of days unless somebody else is working on it already ...

If you flash from ATT to TMob, is SIM unlocking even still necessary for it to detect a TMob SIM?
It's great to see the firmware is under 1GB in size! That means we'll be able to slim it down to maybe about 500mb way slimmed down!

On another note, does TMO boot still have the awesome white screen you could morris code to outer space with and the TMO jingle that you can hear in outer space also? Its annoying as heck, when your working on your phone trying to be quiet and not light up the whole house when your phone boots.

If you have an international Exynos S8+, you can root with PC. If you have a US Snapdragon S8+ (like me), you will have to wait until a root method is published; however, the method about to be published also requires a PC.
