Okay so I've been out of this for a good while and am looking to get my Galaxy S6 Edge+ SM-G928P Rooted and TWRP installed with the best method. However after some digging around I am still confused as to what the best method is and what is updated and what is not.
My phones specs are in the screenshot. So if anybody can give a step by step tutorial or anything I'd be seriously thankful. Any help is appreciated! Also I have gone to the general forum that has the rooting files etc I'm just not sure of the methods

Got my Verizon Galaxy Nexus yesterday, what a beautiful work of art! I've been researching this morning on unlocking and rooting, and it seems like there are a hundred different guides out there for this process.
My question for everyone is which guide worked best for you, with the least amount (or no) problems? I already have ADB setup as I've rooted quite a few phones before. If you can link me in the right direction along with any notes on problems or pointers, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone, and have a great Friday/Weekend
By searching, I found these two guides that look pretty good. Anyone use either of these guides, and did you have any problems or notes that would be helpful?

if you're already rooted "quite a few phones", you shouldn't have any issues rooting this device.
fastboot oem unlock. it will wipe all your /data.
fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
boot into recovery and flash superuser.zip or manually setup su.
this should be one of the simpliest devices to root! thx google!
hope those steps help!
hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks
you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting
Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!
Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.
You might find a few helpful things on the page I made here.. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs & Community Links
First, take a breath...

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

Hello all. Noob to Samsungs altoogether, been with HTC for years. Anyway, I am wanting to root my GN2, however I have MA7. I have searched, and searched, AND searched for rooting methods for this modem. I haven't found any concise instructions on how to root. I have seen various threads with suggestions on backward flashing and such, but like I said, they were various. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction or tell me EXACLTY what I need to do in order to root my GN2? Thanks in advance!

If you've flashed to MA7 OTA, then use can use this -

And pick the LJC option. Works like a champ. (Option 42 I believe)
You might want to check his website, as I believe he is up to 3.2.0 now.

Thanks mw6886!
I guess I forgot to mention that I tried using that toolkit as well as option 42. Whenever I do, the toolkit menu gets stuck on "copied 1 file.....OK" and doesn't do anything else. Once I got as far as it actually putting my phone in DOWNLOAD mode and says wait for ODIN, but ODIN NEVER came up. Any other suggestions? I will check his website for updated version.
The CF (chainfire) root method works as well.

Thanks to y'all. I used the mskip toolkit. Apparently something is wrong with my laptop that wouldn't allow it to be done properly. Had to run the toolkit 4 times just to get the phone to root! But I am not rooted on MA7!
i really need some help, i have tried almost everything to root my t-mobile samsung galaxy s3 SGH T999, i've watched all the youtube videos and downloaded all the links but nothing works... please someone tell me why this is happening ??
Use towelroot if on 4.3 firmware, root66 if below.. Or root66 for both, really doesn't matter.. Search the general section and you will find everything you need to know
Hi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735561 This is the best tutorial I found for you.
Towelroot is the absolute best and easiest option now. Makes all other methods nearly pointless to use. So many extra steps and flashing only serves to give more opportunities to make mistakes. They are good to know about, and will still have their uses, but if someone simply just wants root, Towelroot is the way to go now imo.
easy to root
my t999 is rooted by this way, easy to do! good luck

Hello, so I want to root my GM-1650 but I'm only seeing scattered information, and what I do see feels like it's skipping steps and/or I just don't understand. I've rooted multiple phones before, but all of them have had clearcut easy guides. Is there anyone who can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Oneclickroot.com says they can do it, but I'm a bit skeptical.
