Hi,
If I took your question literally I would answer: Yes, you can but under condition that you already have a custom recovery installed before. Of course, in order to achieve it, you should have had your phone connected to PC before in order to install the recovery.
But I assume it is not the case because you are on a stock recovery, aren't you?
If yes, then unfortunately I haven't heard about any methods which would grant root on SM-G900F with android 6.0.1 (I assume you are on one of the latest firmware) without connecting to PC at all.

CF-autoroot or flash TWRP then in TWRP flash SuperSU
Kingroot and SuperSU_me method works also... Watch the entire process in 2 parts... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWnYFDQ1Vio

Have you lost root since? I've read a lot about people loosing root after a few hours to a couple of days. Any other issues, like random crashes / freezes / reboots?

That's why flashing TWRP and SuperSU is the safest/easiest way to root, it's about as straightforward as it gets

Wasn't aware I could flash a custom recovery on a stock unrooted phone. I don't use the s4, that's why both of the ones I own aren't rooted already, my personal phones are often rooted before I even get home from the store! I need root and su without tripping knox or making any significant changes to the current set-up on either phone. I would prefer the recovery was stock on at least one of 'em. So how should I go about this? One is a tri band and the other isn't. The dual band one needs to be as stealth as possible. Losing root really won't matter as long as the system permissions remain as is prior to losing root.

Flashing a custom recovery is going to trip knox. Why do you care about knox? Triband or not flashing TWRP and SuperSU is the same. If you lose root and have things that require root to operate, you will lose the function of those things, unless it's a one off type of thing

It's imperative that root is stealth. Just need to give one app already running su permissions. On one device knox is monitored, that's why I care. I wouldn't care on my s5, but I never tripped it anyway - rooted with modified stock recovery, flashed MOAR, flashed TWRP. Been using MAOR and TWRP since each was first released. Been rooted on my personal devices since 3 days after the Hero was released. I've just never rooted the s4 or "stealth rooted" any device. That's why Kingroot / SSM looks promising. Any help would be appreciated.

SM-G360T1~Root without TrapKernel?

I wanted to know if there is a way to achieve Root on SM-G360T1 without having to use TrapKernel nor KingRoot, or is TrapKernel the only way?
Thanks for the help

Cf root is what I used
Download su binary from it's site and flash it via Odin. It's safe and effective.

[A452] Need help with root

Hi,
I'm trying to root my daughter's Blade A452 with the latest dis_eu_a452v1.0.5 firmware, if at all possible without data loss. I tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, TowelRoot, all without success. Bootloader is locked, so flashing TWRP and SuperSU is not an option I'd like to pursue, if there are other ways.
Strangely, my other daughter's A452 rooted without any problems, but I didn't check the firmware version at the time -- might have been another one.
I'd appreciate any help!
Greetings,
Christoph
Are you trying unlock bootloader?
Not necessarily, except if there's no other way to get root. I know how to unlock the bootloader, but this would erase all user data (which I'm trying to avoid). I really don't need an open bootloader (no plans to flash a custom rom), just root access.

[Q] Kingo Root Issue

So I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU using the kingo root apk. And it installed it's version of superuser. But when I rebooted my tablet I lost root. So I attempted to re root using kingo again but when I open kingo it says I have root already and the button to begin rooting my degice is no longer therw. All I can do is go to kingo Superuser which does me no good. Tried deleting the kingoroot app and reinstalling and still saying I'm already rooted. So it won't let me re-root using kingo since it thinks I am rooted and the button to root no longer is available. What should I do. I need root back in order to get rid if the kingo Superuser. And I would just like to have root in general since that was my main goal in the first place
Why would you want to use Kingoroot, when you have a perfectly working TWRP available for this device?
Cause I assumed I needed kingo root working in order to remove kingo superuser

anyone help ?
S7 edge I do root via the SuperSU flashable zip file via a custom recovery. Other methods don't seem to work well with S7 on nougat because the user data partition needs to be reformatted in custom recovery (TWRP usually) in advance when you want to root the phone.
You'll need to backup the phone before hand and set it up from its initial state after rooting it.

Do not use SuperSu to root S7 as its not compatible and only meant to be used on older phones. It will not work on Android 8.
