Can I Root without any computer connection.

I DO NOT want to use my computer with any command stuff.
My bootloader is unlocked and i have stock recovery.
I tried with all the driver stuff very very confusing. My phone is not even showing up anymore on my computer.
(TOO complicated)
Why can't i just do the same thing with other Samsung Phones-Drag root into system storage then just flash.Easy.

My recovery shows an android with a red triangle...

no.

why did they make it sooo hard

In your case I would say just go get a toolkit and use that. There is no way, where you are at, to root your device. You NEED to flash a custom recovery which cannot be done on anything other than a computer to root your device.

The toolkit includes device drivers and will do basically anything you need it to do.

It's really not that hard, actually only a couple commands and pushing some buttons on your phone.
*Plug In Phone*
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
*Volume up* *Power Button*
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img
*Volume Down* *Volume Down* *Power Button*
Install Zip from SD Card - SuperSU.zip.
Reboot.
Done. Takes at most 10 minutes.

Odin isn't used on Nexus devices (as far as I know.) They use the Android standard, which is fastboot.
fastboot oem unlock
That's the command to unlock your bootloader. Be aware, it'll wipe your phone (security measure.)

ODIN actually is built into the device, but I think is actually more complicated than just using fastboot.

Sounds like you don't have the Fastboot drivers set up.

PM me your email address and I'll help you out!

May the problem be because my laptop is running windows 8.

Not sure that guide will help you with Windows 8 though... I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

If that's all you want to do is root & leave your device on stock you can just temporarily boot a custom recovery & flash the super user.

Nooo

Did you check the MD5 and/or SHA-1 checksums for those files?

What do u mean exactly? I tried it with wugfresh root toolkit, the tool asked me for one checksum. And it was ok.
By flashing with .bat its not necessary or?

It isn't "necessary" in the sense that the batch file would stop, it's just that the file is corrupted if the checksums don't match. But if the toolkit did the checksum and it was ok at least the download wasn't corrupted. Which doesn't solve your flashing problem. Sorry, i'm out of ideas.

Thanks for you're help. Has nobody this Problem?

I did the same thing with my HK edition and I was s-on, but had access to TWRP. you can put a stocked rooted rom on your ext sd card and flash it from TWRP and you should be good (Also you can use a usb otg cable and flash from that from TWRP)
find stock rooted roms here

(you may need to scroll down a bit to find the rooted roms)

Phone stopped working for no reason - can only get as far as the bootloader now

Tried looking through threads and have spent all day trying to fix it.
Phone was working fine a couple days ago until it ran out of battery. Since then nothing.
If I try to turn on normally I get stuck on the Google screen. Only other thing I can do is boot into fastboot/bootloader but from there, if I try Recovery mode it sticks in a bootloop

I think you have a hardbrick bootloop, There is fortunately a kernel and recovery developed by developers to overcome this problem, but you'll need a unlocked bootloader as it involves flashing recovery and boot.img. If you have boot loader unlocked, go to general section where you'll find a thread regarding the same. All the best

I tried that - flashed the recovery but when I try to launch recovery mode I just get a bootloop again.

if you're returning it to Google they don't really care if it's locked or not. I've sent them back for an RMA both ways never had any problems

Agree, relocking shouldn't be needed for a RMA...

Just make sure your device is completely stock at the very least.
Personally, I'd flash the factory images to both slots and lock the bootloader. However, if others have suggested they don't have any issues sending it back with the bootloader unlocked, then just flash the factory images.
Although, it is just one command to lock it (just be absolutely sure you're completely stock before locking, if you go that route).

thank you All! but i need to get the stock recovery... how can i install the Stock recovery without an pc and without twrp? because i have the twrp edition with the encryption problem on Android pie... ??

You could download the OTA zip and move it to your data folder with a root explorer type app, then flash it with twrp. Will twrp not decrypt without screen lock security?

how long does it take to get the replacement from google??

That's exactly why I never unlock the bootloader, root, install custom ROMs, etc. I don't want to be in the situation where I can't use my warranty or insurance.

My bootloader was unlocked and it was not an issue. I sent my phone back and got a new phone in 6 days. I guess it would also depend on where you live. I live on the east coast and sent my phone to Texas and they sent me a new one from Illinois.
