As the title states, I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge G925W8 (Telus i think?), trying to install custom firmware, trying to unlock my bootloader, etc etc. but every darn tutorial or resource I've found has referenced doing one or the other as a prerequisite or just doesn't work, and I really can't seem to figure out how to do any of this. I've gotten pretty much to the end of my patience with google so I ask for your help, anyone who is willing, please if you could help me figure out how to achieve all of this I would be extremely grateful
try twrp

Download the correct twrp from here
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6edge.html
Flash twrp through Odin, once twrp installed and boots, flash the magisk zip through twrp and that's it. Very easy. You fill find the latest magisk here on XDA also instructions on flashing twrp

i have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note I717m running android 4.1.2
i have looked everywhere trying to find a way to root it but i can't find a thread or site (via google) that would explain to me exactly what i need to do to root my Note specifically. I am a beginner at rooting but i have rooted my samsung galaxy s3 (only because the rooting sites were abundant and very easy to understand)
All i need is to know if there is a way to root such an old phone running the latest software, and if there is i need to know how.
thank you
Get latest twrp .tar from og dev section to use with Odin.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin, flash recovery, and since you have the Canadian version there is an extra step as there is a script in place to overwrite a custom recovery if you boot directly into the os,
So, right after the Odin flash, button combo into recovery and factory reset, then boot into android.
Now reboot into recovery and when you go to boot again from there it should see that you're not rooted and ask if you'd like to do so.
Thank you for your quick reply!
I however dont know what you mean by twrp.tar and where i can find it
I would need links to sites and a guideline if possible because when i rooted my s3 it was one step after the other i didn't really understand all of it and it was a long time ago
Thanks again, hope I'm not asking for too much here I'm new to this forum
Its in the development section for the i717. Go to TRWP recovery. Click the link to the site and MAKE SURE ITS FOR THE I717. Download and do what stud said.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
it worked!
thanks alot!
I was actually wanting to post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
But it seems you are not allowed to post in that thread until you have posted at least 10 posts...which is great if you really only need to post in that one thread...
I urgently need to root the SHV-E330S, Build LRX22C.E330SKSUDOL4, that I just bought as right now it is rather useless to me...
I need to get rid of the Korean Telecom branding and make the phone understand that it is not in Korea anymore, and therefore not roaming...
But I cannot do that without it being rooted.
I checked everywhere, but I cannot find a CF-Auto-Root for that build.
I have the Recovery Image, which I was going to post in the above stated thread:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!At3VuFqpzytcgpRf36oYLgw_WPgCjA
That's a link to a OneDrive folder where I stored the Recovery Image.
Can anybody help me and possibly post a request for this in the above mentioned thread for me?
And does anybody have any further codes that allow me to find out whether I am up against a locked bootloader or not?
The codes I found so far did not work...
Or maybe someone has another idea how to find that out.
The phone has Knox installed, but it's a used phone anyway, so if warranty is void, then be it. It's one of the apps I then want to get rid of anyway.
Not sure if my phone has a flash counter.
Couldn't find out how to find that out either. Maybe someone has an idea on this one as well?
But that's only interesting with regards to warranty as well, I guess...so it does not really matter.
So, if anybody could help me in getting that CF-Auto-Root for my device and build?
And to find out whether my phone has a locked bootloader, that would be great...
Looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards,
Chris
I see there have been views. Is there nobody who could or would possibly help me?
Please?
I really need this CF-Auto-Root, but I cannot yet post in the corresponding thread.
It would be great if someone could help me out...
I very much hope that someone will have a heart and help me...
Alternatively, can anybody let me know how I can make a CF-Auto-Root myself?
Is there a program? Can I just exchange something in an existing root file?
Please, guys...I really need help...
If you have a custom recovery already, you can just flash SuperSu through it. No need for CF-Autoroot.
The bootloader won't be locked -- Korean variants of Samsung phones never are.
(also, did you try this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/493/C...-Auto-Root-ks01lteskt-ks01lteskt-shve330s.zip?)

Hi there!
Thanks for answering, and sorry my own answer comes so late, I had some internet issues now as well...what a surprise...when there is one thing, more will happen.
But back to the issue.
First of all, thanks for the info regarding the bootloader very likely not being locked. VERY good to know.
As for the CF-Auto-Root not being needed:
It might be correct that I could probably root the phone having the recovery image only...problem is, I cannot.
I know how to root with a CF-Auto-Root, that's easy enough...but without a step-by-step guide, I don't know how to root without a CF-Auto-Root....
As for the link, I cannot see which build this is for? Only which device...and as this list
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
which is supposed to be up to date, does not list my device with the requested build, but only with a different build, I am not sure the CF-Auto-Root in your link is the one I need.
And I don't want to completely brick my phone by using a root for a different build...
Do you by any chance have a step-by-step for me on how to root the phone without the CF-Auto-Root, when I have the recovery image?
Hello Guys it seems there is no any custom recovery in sgh-i527 .
can someone please help me to find one i was searching about it almost 2-3 days and still no luck.
hope someone will help me. provide me some link plss..
Thanks in Advance !
Just recently they managed to get root to work on it for 4.4. While I have heard that someone managed to get a copy of the bootloader, I don't think anyone has developed an alternate that works. Mainly because the phone is so old and that dealing with the bootloader on this phone tends to be problematic. (Can you say "BRICK"). Enjoy root while you can and look for another model of phone that has lots of mods still working with it. I did....

Can Anyone Make A Video On Doing This Root Method? Or Possibly Just Helping Me Out. Had The 5.1 Lollipop And Used The Klickit Tool Which Then Unlocked Bootloader,Gave Me Twrp Which I Then Flashed SuperSu. Pretty Easy Right?Well I Was Given A Replacement Which Had 6.0 MM And I'm Completely Lost On How To Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP Which Will Allow Me To Then Flash SuperSU If Someone Could STEP BY STEP Video That Would Mean A Lot And Give Me Some Better Understanding. Thank You For Your Time Everyone And I Appreciate All The Work And Everything I Have Been Learning On How To And Just In General On XDA!!!! I'm Currently On 6.0 MM The T-Mobile LgV10
It's very easy to do. Just Google Search how to unlock the bootloader on the V10. What model are you using? Is it a T-Mobile , Atat etc?

I have the t mobile variant. Every time I attempt to unlock it states it's unlocked but when I reboot the phone. Or does not inform me I'm unlocked like how it did when I had the 5.1 lollipop. Also then try and get twrp and root but no luck. Please give me a email or pm.
Hello. I've recently OEM unlocked my phone, and want to install Magisk on it. I would like some advice on how to proceed from here. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J600GT phone. Any help with this would be appreciated.
If your device is compatible, the installation instructions are right here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Okay. I've downloaded the stock firmware from this website (I don't want to get into custom recoveries just yet): sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j6/SM-J600GT/ZTO/download/J600GTVJU3ASA1/257858
Now, what do I need to do to get a usable boot.img from this file? Any tips?
