Has anyone come up with any possible rooting methods?
No, there is a search function for a reason. Also, CAN PEOPLE STOP TITLING THEIR THREADS WITH TITLES LIKE THIS. FOR GODS SAKE MAN AT LEAS PUT A QUESTION MARK T_T.
There is no root for USA Based phones. You will never see any viable root. Enjoy your phone as is, it's amazing!

Searching for the word "root" (without quotes) in this topic yields all threads with the word root in them. Despite that if you glance at the titles you will find on page 1 a thread that asks the question (and has an answer). Page 2 shows 3 results.. Pages beyond 3 show other results.
So the search works but only as far as when people actually look (and take the time to read) for answers. Search results are also more effective when people use proper thread titles. I will admit the latter makes searches a lil more cumbersome because some people need to learn how (or have simply failed) to properly name the threads they make.
To help with the search results here's the ones I found on page 1 and page 2:

Wow, so nice to see no one gets satire that they go out of their way to prove themselves.
Look, I know there isn't root, I was just pointing out that threads like these are a dime a dozen. Facepalm
I'm just saying that on top of a search function there are about 10 threads about root for our phones; not being able to, question of whether or not it's possible, and a kind of waiting/official thread about root for our phones. It's not satire I was just telling him to read through the forum to search for the answer to his question instead of making yet another "is there root" thread. People just want a quick answer instead of reading. I don't see what him posting proof has to do with it, just seems like an extension of the banter. I'm not dogging on him or you, so don't take it to heart.
Also you can search by thread title if you select advanced under search options.

I was going to say the same thing. I have seeing these and finding out it is a question
This is the exact reason I didn't want to purchase this device. All I want is V4A.
Oh well, this device is amazing!
Well as of right this second there is not.. but to all who say there will never be for the U.S. model, i emphatically direct you to the Galaxy Note 9 threads where there is a serious developer Elliwigy has successfully rooted the U.S Note 9 using the exact same qualcomm chipset. And he states that his method has been tested by several developers on other samsung devices ... so to answer your question Yes root is possible.. but currently not stable nor is there a fool proof path to success. But Elliwigy has broken the ground necessary for a possible future root.
Link to an article on this:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-proof-of-concept-root/amp/
Link to thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...s-recoveries--other-development/root-t3927413
Interesting to see a method to install root was found with the factory binary (not the same as what we are using right now). It may lead into a root method if someone can find a way to make the proof of concept possible on the binaries we are normally using..
Worth keeping tabs on, I got the link bookmarked to keep watch on it. Who knows someone might find a way to crack this golden egg

Does anyone know how to unroot and put the phone back to stock??? My girl is gonna sell her phone... Has the verizon OTA update came out to the phones yet?? Can i just let it update??
maybe you should, read the forums.....
I would give you a link to the post on page 2 of this forum but those abilities are blocked for me right now.
Pretty funny how a 14 and 5 poster is making fun of a 96 poster. It is a shame we can't restrict the internet from some people.
So in short. Answer is yes, you can de-root (assuming that is a word) the phone back to stock there is a thread that has a guide for you to do so. Also you should be able to find it yourself. Make it a learning experience.

Thank you for the link.. As for the ppl who had something smart to say you could have just answered the question with out being an smart ass!! What did making your dumb comment accomplish??? Nothing!! So next time if you cant help me then just shut up!! Nobody wants to here you *****!! I dont have this phone I was asking a question for a friend!! Im not familiar with this thread so thats y i just asked a question so that the decent ppl that are here to help and not ***** could help me out!!
I am currently logged in to XDA and have tried all of the different forum view options but I still don't see the "search" button anymore? Where did it go? Tried on multiple broswers too. Does anyone know how long ago it was removed? How do we search the forums now? I checked the Advanced search button on the top and got "Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." Not sure if that applys to all search functions.

Google is Great, but very rarely do you find a specific XDA ROM answer on the first few looks or searches.
XDA thread search is a must have, to anyone who follows large threads and cant be glued to watching the computer all day long. It beats reading a 100 pages of posts where people keep asking the same questions, over and over again, instead of easily searching the thread, only to find their answer was 3 posts back!! You have permission to use my torch!! Keep Flaming!!
You can still use Google, like this.

I think the idea is a good one. A bunch of the recognized contributors are trying to do something along those lines, but based on a FAQ. The idea is for most devices to end up with a FAQ with short answers to the common questions/problems. Since the answers are short, they almost always link to a longer guide/tut/resource.
fma965 put one up for the Xperia Play today, it is here if you want to take a look.
Is there any way to share op title or at least have an option for more than person to edit a post? And watch over the thread etc etc.

I think your idea is not bad but I think I already made a FAQ thread for it You can always PM me or tell me all kinds of your idea to improve it. I'm trying to make it as much helpful as I can and if you put your effort too, i think that guide can be extended to a greater level

At the moment no. I think that people have asked for this in General - About xda forum. I seem to remember that it was going to be looked into...but it could be a while.
I don't think you can ever have too many guides as what you may find in one you might not find in another, but as already said it's pretty much covered in the guides/sticky department, and most of the solutions to common problems should be found by following Rule Number 1 anyway.
No offence, but the search tool of xda isn't quite up to the mark.
Quoting a person from the alternative to 10 post rule
Dblfstr said:
Agreed, but it IS an alternative. And I might point out that the search function is not the best. Case in point, I received a thunderbolt a few weeks ago, and while I was able to find what I needed to root it quickly, there things I needed to know that were no where to be found. As an RC, I knew better than to "just ask", but after I could not find my answer (although I'm sure it was here somewhere) I had to pull a n00b and ask. Of course, I was treated like a n00b with the typical "read the OP, search first" responses. NOT HELPFUL.

Google works perfectly, which is why its so frustrating when People say they've searched but not found what they're looking for, because most of the time typing a thread title or their question into Google finds it straight away, or is in one of the stickys they clearly haven't read.

..what exactly do I have to do? I don't care about the other Google apps. All I want is the play store. Do I need Safestrap for this? If not, where can I find instructions on how to root?
There are about 3 threads in this section of the forum that have step by step instructions on how to achieve this. It's even in the title!

Excuse me, but the specific question I asked isn't answered, or I'm having trouble finding it.
I'm not interested in flashing anything if I can avoid it (i.e. Safestrap).
If I can, I just want to root and get Google Play Store working on my HDX 7". Can you direct me to something that tells me how to do just those two things?

This keeps the forums clean and makes it easier for everyone to find what they're looking for. If you don't have the time to look in thread titles to find what you're looking for, no one is going to take the time to help you.

I'm curious, sunshine, do you always have a need to demand things without doing the proper research? Do you literally go through life arguing with people who give you an exact answer telling you where to go and what to do to get what you want?
Let's recap what I told you:
"There are 3 threads about this on the front page"
1) there are three methods depending on your device.
2) they're on the front page.
How is that not giving you want, princess? I'm sure if you would lift the satin flaps from over your eyes you'd see that indeed, I gave you the answer that you needed. Now, kindly, go brick your device so we don't have to listen to your demands again.

Sure, I could have put "Is there a ..." in the title. I just figured a logical person would notice the obvious nature of the question mark and realize that this post wasn't our coveted solution. If you actually read my question, you can see that I know very well where the search bar is, and that it was utilized. It's unfortunate that you see helping someone as a waste of your time. If you don't want to help, then don't waste the OP's time with your complaining.
So when new models come out, the best thing is to wait till we find out which can be rooted. Makes sense... I jumped on Galaxy 9S+ when it first cam out and have the un-rootable one... should have waited...
