Hey everyone,
I'm new to the rooting community and am trying to find a way to root my Galaxy S8 (G950F) without a PC or TWRP. The reason behind this is the port on the phone is fried, meaning I can only charge with a wireless charger or use an app like Airmore to transfer files. Before you tell me to go and fix my phone's port, can anyone suggest a rooting method for my specifications that will work?
So far I have tried:
360 Root
King Root
Kingo Root
iRoot
Thanks,
Rifts
i have read a way to root your phone without twrp and pc some years ago but these methods are not safe unless you unlock your bootloader first.also these apps wont work because you are android 9(these apps work until android 5.0 i think).the official way is going download mode>install odin on pc>flash twrp>(making a backup highly reccomended)>format data(i prefer factory reset)>flash magisk or supersu>boot phone.in this way your bootloader will be unlocked and your phone will be rooted.im afraid that there is no way to root android 9 without pc

Okay thanks for the support. I will probably have to repair my charger port.

Hi Friends,
Is it as easy as it sounds? Thanks in advance!
Depends on the phone and how/why it was unrooted in the first place.
Hi, Thanks for you reply. It would be because an app doesn´t support rooted devices and just decided to go back and wanted to know if in the future it was possible to root back. Its for a friend. Can the unrooting and rooting again be done with only those apps used to root your phone or do you have to use a PC?

A bit more info would be useful (device, software, etc.). A phone can typically be rooted again, unless it receives a software update that patches the exploit. Also, the root method may vary, but if you had to use a PC to root it originally, chances are you'll need to use a PC again.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 with Android 4.4. oh I see, if you root in originally with pc and then unroot it forwhatever reason, those one click rooting apps are not going to work right?

Did you use the apk or the PC version to obtain root?
how did this work
So did you ever find out if the PC or apk was used. Was there any issues, how did it work. Also has anyone figured out a hotspot mod for this device. I have it on the boost unlimited plan. I really need the hotspot.
Kingroot non PC version will work on any device but you ever uninstall king root will not reroot that device
My question is will the PC versipn?
kingroot
So I can just install the kingroot apk and it should root my device. I am kinda new to this. Will it also install SuperSU or will I need to find a way to flash it, if I need it at all. Also. Does anybody know about how to get free hotspot. I read that changing the apk to end in dun will work. Anybody know for sure.
Yes second try but if you ever uninstall you will be looking for a new way king root will not work a second time nomatter how you try but its safe will not brick device and will cover as antivirus phone protection oh if use antivirus get rid myself f it before you try kingroot or your phone will glitch king root is read as threat because it has no limitations on what it can do BTW I use the y538 model
hotspot
Have you found a hotspot hack or mod. I am gonna wait till I know I can get free hotspot before I root it.
I have my y538 rooted but I really want a custom recovery or rom anyone got one or know how
King root didn't work for me I've tried all and PC version, but very new to android and rooting. When I run the app it gets about halfway then stops and wont. Is there anything else I should've done as well, sorry but can't find anything, anywhere else about rooting this phone and version

Use KingRoot APK, does it easily.
I dont like the app myself so im going to remove it with lucky patcher soon. Once king root is installed into the system i cant get him out for fear of loosing root. I just installed SuperSu fromChaindd but now I can not update the binary, Im going to clone superuser from my other phone so hes updated and then may he will stay updated when I install to system app with lucky patcher.
Oh, and by the way, Your bootloader is locked so you wont be able to change the rom. SuperSu couldnt even install himself into the system like he has on every other phone. Dont even try to install a recovery at this point because your phone may never boot again!
Someone is going to have to dump a backup and figure out how to fool the checks into thinking its a real OTA update on the way back in.
I have tried kingroot, Iroot and many other apps to root the device by connecting it to the pc with no use, anyone can help?

If the bootloader can't be unlocked your device won't be able to get rooted also king root... Iroot and kingo root usually work best when targeting lollipop and below however I know your using a android version higher then lollipop cause it didn't work

The programs says that it's possible to root the device...so can I do anything to unlock the bootloader?
And yes the Android Version is Oreo:crying:
You can boot even if the device verification says that the signatures doesn't match.
Because of this you can use mtkclient to "unlock the bootloader" but fastboot still wont work
Hello ! Couple months ago unlocked bootloader and did root, just flashed newest miui and forgot that will replace my recovery to stock one, sadly don't have access to PC right now. Is there any way to root phone/install TWRP without PC? Like installing stock miui with pre-installed Magisk in it or smth like it~
Hey man I guess you could try and download the twrp APK file if you don't have access to PC.
https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
but I highly recommend you to root your phone via PC
If you're really desperate, you can try Kingroot. Google it. Its not gaurenteed to work, and its possibly sketchy, but it might allow you to replace the recovery to TWRP and then go from there. I don't advise this method, but if you have no way of using a PC, this could potentially work. Or it could vaporize the nose off your face. I don't know. Use at your own risk.
I have a Smasung S9 Plus SM-g965F with Exynos on android 10, I would need to get root but I would like to avoid to install TWRP recovery, can I do it with the stock recovery?
Thanks.

you can't use stock recovery you will need twrp
If you want to install magisk without twrp use the patch method
I have tried kingroot with no success it get stuck at 1%.
If I use magisk by patching the stock rom, then when an official samsung update comes out I can do it automatically as always?
By the way how can I check if the bootloader of my phone is unlocked ?

In develop section check to see if unlock option is there.
Download mode will tell you OEM state as well as KG/RMM state
If you modify your phone you won't get updates. Have to do manually.
Be aware rooting you phone will trip your knox. Won't be able to use knox related functions like secure folder,samsung pass, shealth etc.

ACtually I need root to try to recover some files on the internal memory with some data recovery programs...after that I don't need root anymore so maybe I could go back to full stock?

Once your modified phone knox will be tripped even when flash firmware again. There is no fix for a tripped knox.
If trying to recover lost files then using the patched method with magisk is a better option then using twrp.
I don't have much experience with recovering lost files as i have not had the need for it but i would try some non root methods first before rooting.
If you decide to root your phone you can unroot by magisk or flashing stock firmware.
Always backup your phone before doing anything.
Sadly all these program (one of the most famous is Dr. Fone) that go scanning the memory for deleted files need the privileges of root so I think that without rooting the phone it's not possible to do it anyway if I would lost the knox securty by rooting I'm not that happy too
"You may try looking into Extreme Syndicate root. It's used on the Snapdragon variants to root with a locked bootloader, so it doesn't trip Knox. I don't know if it will work on Exynos, but worth a look."
Editing doesn't work right on my phone. This won't work.
