SM-G950FD Root and Bootloader - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Honestly I think I'm too stupid to find tutorials on how to root this S8, it's because from my experience I could easily find tutorials on how to root phones but not this one. I have found some but got sceptical when I saw a reddit post on why I shouldn't use that certain tutorial.
I want to root my phone to use certain apps, by the title you can tell that I have Galaxy S8 Duos SM-G905FD. I would really appreciate the help with getting the links to trusted tutorials. And also I got a question, how do I know if my phone has unlocked bootloader or not and do I need to unlock bootloader to root and change my rom?
Thank you.

Thank you for your input. Im going to check it out
Im trying to understand more about the rooting.
But there are some things that puzzle me. It is about the base band number on the phone. Im not sure which update to use. I have lollipop 5.0.2 on my phone and wish to root to novarom but Im not sure that I can use it because it has a different code //download.chainfire.eu/481/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.zip?retrieve_file=1[/url] ( [Recovery][kccat6][G901F][31.12.15] TWRP 2.8.7.1 Touch Recovery). So what can I use KCCAT6 on my FXXU1BOC4 phone?
I also understand that custom roms not always the best for my phone?
Do I start with Odin and CF autoRoot ? But I also see that I can use Odin with TWRP/CMW recovery and than download bootloader and modem.
I guess it is a bit abracadabra for the newby but Im really interested to learn more so please be patient with me.
I don't want to brick my phone so Im trying to get it right.

Root for SM-G900F running on 5.0?

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

And even if you just Googled "Root G900F" you'd likely find them too

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A (SM-G906l) Locked Bootloader

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
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-stable-smooth-deodex-t3388014
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.

Devices with a 7 at the end are usually carrier branded and often have locked bootloaders so not rootable.
However there is a roundabout way to achieve root depending how much you need it?
Is it possible to root this device ? or impossible ??
