Hi guys, I just got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G9500 (Duo SIM + Snapdragon Hong Kong Version).
I have already unlocked the bootloader (Tripped Knox of course, so bye bye to my warranty)
Since I am so new to the Samsung family, I have no idea how the FRP works.
So everytime I
(1)flash TWRP, root, and
(2)login to Google Account (I cannot live without Google),
the FRP is on
And EVERYTIME I reboot it, "Custom Binary (Boot) blocked by FRP lock" comes out
and I have to flash the OG filmware, which means all the root and data are gone.
So, does it means, you can root the device, but once you login to google, you are F**KED?
Please answer my questions my friends, it is a pain in the ass using the Samsung OS.
hello good Sir,
I'm using the exynos variant myself, so I don't know exactly how it all works on snapdragon, but I do know that you can find all the answers you are looking for in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-s8-snapdragon-t3636718
It's a lot to read, but maybe you can post your question there, if it is that urgent...
About you mentioning that Samsung OS would be a pain in the ass: There is no AOSP ROM for the snapdragon variant at this point in time (at least to my knowledge). Only few ROMs based on Stock Firmware.
Hope I could help and that you aren't too disappointed
It is fine... I am just feeling bad about losing warranty but not getting root access.
Any way to root without triggering TRP lock?

Heya. I was wondering that is there a method for root on the s5 on 5.0. (there must be) but i was wondering with locked bl? Its ok if its unlocked if i get a great how to guide how to unlock the bl. Model number up on the title. I have no idea of any unlocking or anything with samsung devices. This s5 is the only samsung device i have. And as i dont use it at all, i need root and (if i can) unlocked bootloader, so i can get it to some use. I have alot or well experience with unlocked bootloader/rooted xperias but samsung is a whole new world to me lol. The basics must be same but its still another world from sony. So ? Im too lazy to read any other rooting threads for the s5 so i just want quick and helpful answers thx!
I know about cf autoroot but i heard that its risky
Also i want android 4.x.x.! That is my main wish for my s5.
Yes it is possible, there are plenty of guides here

Hi.
Not a very useful title for a thread. Most everyone needs help or help in having a question answered...
And also your question isn't something to be answered clearly...
You could root your device. If you need it is your decision. Do you see clear benefits in it? Are you aware, that there is no way to do it without tripping knox atm?
Do you have a device with an exynos processor in the first place? If it is a snapdragon you could forget the whole idea of rooting at this point, because there is no way to root it atm.
ah.. okay. must have missed the device model type.. yes, you can root. you have the exynos...
I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you

I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.

Hello guys, seems some posts are desperately looking for Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550T2 from Family Mobile SIM locked
Well I bricked mines flashing a TWRP and i deactivated the OEM Unlock which caused a Soft Brick by a FRP Lock.
Warning, this stock ROM as I tested the PL1 firmware, it formats the internal memory, also remove the MicroSD card before flashing a firmware.
Here are the ROMs enjoy.

Hello guys and gals. I want too root my Samsung Galaxy S8 (T-Mobile) and install TWRP on it, so that I can flash a custom rom. I have however read very negative things about people trying to modify their S8 devices and I am not sure it is as easy or safe as modifying my previous phone (The Nexus 6). I want to ask if it is currently safe, and if so, some reliable links to what I am looking for. Thanks.
You can't root the tmo s8 since it has a locked bootloader, you need the exynos s8.
