i have been searching for weeks now for a way to root my G935P on QH1 firmware and cant seem to find anything that works. Am i missing something or is there currently no way to root on this firmware? I have tried almost every root method for the G935P and every one of them bootloops my phone, and i think its because they are for older firmwares and its not letting me flash older firmware.
One method that looked promising was to flash U firmware, but i tried this too and it didnt work, dont know if im doing something wrong or if U firmware is not able to be installed after ive updated to this latest QH1 firmware.
RIght now im kind of kicking myself for installing this latest system update, but one of the root methods i tried that was one of the steps was to go to system update and let it update to the latest firmware and now it seems as if im stuck here with no way to root
I'm in the same boat, I recently just upgraded from the Note 3 (brother gave me his S7E). I'm not new to rooting, but its definitely not as easy as it used to be.

Not worth rooting this phone. The method is extremely unstable. Any reason why you need to root? There could be a non root workaround

Same here. The bootloops is crazy! I have rooted the tmobile and verizon versions before with no issues. I was begining to think the Qualcomm boot file was bad. But it appears it's with the sprint s7 edge.

Not unstable at all.. I have mine rooted for a long time. It's fast and works just fine... If you follow the steps in order, then you should have no problems at all... This is the simplest method of all.

I have Samsung galaxy A5, SM-A500H. Running Android 5.0.2, downloaded from here. I want to root it.
The only root available right now AFAIK, is CF-Auto-Root, as described here for example. But this root breaks everything, all the apps stop running when you reboot the phone and you have reinstall the firmware, it doesn't work.
Is there another way to root my device?

the method you suggest, is great, i always wanted to know how that's done but can't do it, since it will require me to reflash the phone and reinstall the rom
This answer is for future users
first if you want to upgrade to 5.02
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-A500H/
I use the unknown carrier but you could pick any. just create an account there first.
and to root it, the only safe way, all other ways, it will break it, so again the only safe way to root that thing
http://www.kingroot.net/
didn't work before, now is working, download the apk, root it, takes 5 min, restart your phone, have a nice day
First of all, if this should be in a different thread, I apologize.
I just purchased my G935V from Verizon earlier today. It apparently shipped with G935VVRS4APH1 firmware, that's what the recovery displayed.
After a few unsuccessful attempts, I managed to use odin to directly upgrade to G935UUEU4APL4. I used Odin3-3.11.1 if anyone was curious.
Which root method should I be using for this revision? I"m not sure what changed between the APEH and APL4 firmware - It's the kernel that matters, correct?

APL4 is still Marshmallow so the engboot root method will work. There are a lot of drawbacks to this root method.
Are you aware of any boot methods for the G935x currently, or is engboot our only option?
Seems like engboot was designed for T-Mobile phones, hence the workarounds to getting our Verizon stuff back in order afterwards.
I have recently bought an S5 from straight talk. It uses Verizon towers. It came with 6.0.1 marshmallow.

I'm having issues obtaining root on this device. I'm not sure if the bootloader comes unlocked or not. I tried kingroot, iroot,framaroot and few others. None have succeeded. I even tried the chainfire method in Odin and it fails every time. I've read downgrading is an option but from my understanding is that on a locked bootloader you can't downgrade. Attempt to ends in a hard brick. So correct me if I'm wrong. So after all is said anyone know how to root this thing? It's becoming quite frustrating.
anyone???

bump this phone is so locked down...
from what I hear. A member here is working on the testing firmware. From my understanding, it's the firmware that was first put on this model to do testing and it runs 4.4 Kit Kat. The problems in it is a whole load of things including no cellular service. I think they have all things but contacts working correctly so far. Oh and best part is your able to root on the test firmware but people need those bugs worked out to have a stable usable phone. I tried things more simple like the Kit Kat firmware from the sm-902l model. It's still an s5 that runs on straight talk but different model numbers obviously and it runs 4.4. So I thought give it a try but Odin fails it every time
Any update on rooting the phone?

p.s1: sorry for the category of this post, but i'm new on forum, just made the account so it wont let me post anywhere else...

you want to go back to nougat from oreo , am i right ? Then try this video, if it doesnt help please reply to me and i am gonna find a solution to you ASAP
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqpucWXyfqY
hi. thx, but i did this right (like in the video) many times, and it worked perfectly. now is not working cuz the bootloader was updated, and it won't let me downgrade the firmware anymore. i am still trying to find a way but i don't know if is possible.
i am searching a way to downgrade bootloader and then downgrade the firmware, but i dunno if is possible to downgrade bootloader once it was updated.
i am looking for the same solution. i managed to downgrade to Nougat but cant install custom rom
Can someone help me? I have G950FD which Firmware should I flash for my phone? I am using this model in the US
So no solution to downgrade bootloader version?
Bootloader downgrade for U6 is not available yet (For free)

I have searched the whole web. but, I haven't find the solution to downgrade the bootloader for Binary 6. Well, my phone's OS is dead after upgrading to pie. So, apparently the only way for me and to others who are facing the similar issue is to wait until someone releases Binary 6 combination firmware for SM-G950FD.
Good news: It's easy to get your phone running if your bootloader is not upgraded to binary 6. Cuz, Binary 5 firmwares and combination files are available out there and they are 100% working unless your MB is dead.
Note: I have flashed following stock firmwares successfully through ODIN [INS-G950FXXU6DSK9-20191231094010 and INS-G950FXXS6DTA1-20200120123810] yet no luck. Can't boot the OS. Tried to root the phone, cant able to flash the custom recovery. Nothing just works.
Someone, please tag me if ever finds U6 combination file. That's the only hope to bring back my phone to life.
So im wanting to finally root and flash my phone after having it for almost a year, tired of all the VZW updates, prompts and just general bloat. So i did some digging and samfail only works up to V5 bootloaders.. my phone baseband is g955usqu5crk1 and i cant find any info on it and i dont want to try to do samfail and brick my phone due to it not being compatible. Does anyone have any info on this version or know what i can do from this point?.

I am not sure, but I think you can still root. Check the ROM section here in the Verizon Forum and look for JRKRuse thread. Or, look in the S8 Plus Forum under ROMs and look for the Partcyborg thread. I think with the S8 plus you can still root V5, but check with the experts before you start down any path.
The 5 near the end is bootloader version 5, the C means Oreo
Im on the same baseband version and have been trying samfail method all night, as well as different odin versions, i either get sha256 error on first step or else it hangs for way too long
I believe there's a patched Odin which helps with the errors you're describing. Google (patched Odin 3.13.1). It combines features from the Odin variant (Prince Comsey Odin) which eliminates such issues.
