Head to the main S8 and S8+ forums and you will see a Sampwned tutorial to get root. Thanks to all the hard work of the dev's in making this possible! Here's to hoping for modified stock roms in the near future....
Is this root like the s7 using the engineer kernel where performance and battery life totally tanked? And is the bootloader unlocked or no?

There are many different ways to root an S5.
First of all you need to indentify your exact device model/variant.
The international S5 with LTE is the SM-G900F, the Exynos variant without LTE is SM-G900H, and there are some more carrier specific variants (T-Mobile, Sprint, Verzion, etc.).
Here is a rooting thread for S5: [HOW TO][ALL VARIANTS][19/11/ Gain root, custom recovery, prep for modding on your S5
Keep in mind that flashing a custom recovery or kernel will trigger the KNOX flag.
I have KNOX triggered to 0x1 ... and it's fine for me. But it's your choice.
For rooting with KNOX 0x0, you may have to root with TowelRoot. But this is for some variants of the S5 only. And needs older firmware.
Easiest rooting method IMO is flashing CF-Auto-Root from Chainfire: [SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root ... but this will also trigger KNOX.

Reply: Model is SGH-T959, which is TMobile, Galaxy S, Vibrant. Much older than a S5 you mentioned.....like 4 models earlier.
I would choose a simple method given the choice. I am not concerned with a void of a warranty as they are long gone in time. I do not know what a Knox unless that is related to tell of the ROOT against the MFGR.
Thanks for any help!!

Hmm ... I found a rooting thread ([Tutorial] Rooting the Sprint GalaxyS3 the Easy Way), but it is closed as it seems that this method no longer works.
There a user ("Thecrazyone1") of the same device reported taht he could successfully root. Maybe you can ask (PM) him, how he got it rooted.
Here is the general rooting link for the Sprint S3: How to root the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III ... which seems to be very similar to your device.
You can also check the Sprint Galaxy S3 FAQ updated 5/27/2013, there is a linbk to a video guide for rooting.
Here is a thread about your device: S3 straight talk verison rooting/general questions..
And here is another one: [Q] How To Root the Straight Talk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III.
Maybe you can get better answers there.
Good luck !

Happy new year !
XDA, would it be possible to look into rooting a Samsung Note Edge (SM-N915A) with Marshmallow 6.0.1. I've tried different things, but there doesn't seem to be a process for this phone with that OS.
2nded!
Is there a way to root the 915T already updated to 6.0.1 dpj2 (October update)?
Root SM-N915A? Please?
I have discovered that the bootloader on my SM-N915A (ATT) Note Edge is locked up tight. I am very eager to root this phone, as I have had it since release and I have yet to use it to its full potential. Perhaps a bounty (like Verizon's Note Edge)? Is anyone interested in cracking open this bootloader?

Hi, i just bought S7 flat 930F.
I used htc hd2, note 2, s4, s5 zpseria z3, z2 and all my phone had custom rom. i am playing with custom roms form almost 5 years so i have some knowlange about it.
Bur when i bought s7 i stareted too read strange things that root on s7 its not so safe that older samsung devices (encryption).
Can someone explain me it that safe to root s7 n(i know i lost warranty on my devices) i only ask about brick my phone.
Safe if you read the rooting / twrp thread thoroughly before attempting anything
I have been away from the community since about the Note 10+ due to the impossible chance of rooting the Snap variations at the time. I am wondering if this has been remedied? Is true root still possible on Snapdragon chips? Are awesome ROMs still be developed if so? Is TWRP still a useful and usable tool In this day and age? I'm glad to be back to the community today and I'm desperately hoping that good news will follow in this thread.
Thanks for having me back.
Depends what device and what bootloader version the device is on. Its a paid service now

Really? How do you go about paying? And do you need to pay to access the area where the Mod ROMs would be? So for example, I have a US ATT Snapdragon Galaxy S22 Ultra. From what I see there is no Modded ROMs for it but I do think I saw a root method. So would I need to pay to access a area where Mod ROMs would be?
You need to pay $150 (IIRC) to have your bootloader unlocked.

Also, Have a look here. Very good guide if you're catching up on root after a while.

He's discussing the US model, which is bootloader locked. The root method you posted is for the B and E models, not the U.
