Welcome
I'm one step away from letting my friendship with samsung end ...
I bought a new or refurbished S7 active G891a and hoped it had a low android version. Unfortunately, out of the box is version 8.0 RG3.
I am looking and looking but I find a guide for root 8.0, only guides for version 7.0.
I can't downgrade with ODIN. A verification error appears.
It's a bit strange, because for G930U there is no such problem:
[Easy_Root/Unroot][Any_Oreo/Nougat_Firmware_V4_Bootloaders][Tmp_Twrp_Recovery]
When I had S5 active G870F, the whole root procedure was identical to G900F.
I also see that the G891 is similar, because it works with the custom room with G930
So can't I find the root for 8.0 or didn't it?
If you know anything about root 8.0, tell me about it.
Or maybe you know how to turn off verification so that I can try to upload SM_G930_FLAT_OREO.7z?

Hello,
Guys I've galaxy note II GT n7100( unrooted) I've read many post about rooting but still confused which is better n simple coz I'm not much familiar with these terms.please help me to find out a latest one.
==> And what about lollipop, if I want to install unofficially. I've to w8 for a long time to access lollipop in Pakistan. Thankx
Hi folks,
I'm a bit confused after reading many threads.
I'm thinking of buying an ATT SM-T707A. But I don't want an unrootable device. The locked bootloader is very annoying but for the use I have in mind the lack of custom OS options isn't a big deal. But I need root.
So, I presume a new one from ATT or online will have (or rapidly update to) Lillipop. Is Lollipop rootable on the ATT 8.4 707A?

Hey,
I'd like to know this too please... the only way I have seen people rooting the T707A is with Kingroot - I just tried now and LP and it doesn't work
Cheers,

Samsung Galaxy tab S 10.5 Verizon Help please with as root and install the new version of the android
SM-T807V
OS and firmware: 4.4.2
Description of the problem:
Hello, good people! I bought a new tablet Samsung Galaxy tab S 10.5 Verizon on Ebay. And I had a Problem I can not install the Russian language which has not been in the settings! Morelocale 2 and Language enabler does not work! Tell me please how to do the right thing. I load the screenshot ihz settings on the device.
I learned that on this forum people can hepl me with setting of Russian language it is the main my purpose! Thank you!
Efforts steps:
From other people I learned that it is necessary to put root it or install a new version of Android right which has to be with the Russian language. I liked the second idea because it is 4.4.2 and I want LOLIPOP 5.0, or at least something. And I found the information that you need to do through Odin and all that, but nowhere I could not find the firmware version for the SM-T807V.
Firstly you can't get root unless kingroot works, second you can't flash anything other than official firmware of which there isn't any for your device.
Your bootloader is locked so don't even try to flash non official firmware.
I have moved all of our devices to A520F and TAB A (2016) runing LineageOS 14.1 and I am very happy with it. The bad side is one of the A520F, which aleady costs me 2 days because wether heimdall nor odin (i setup a windows machine to test it under windows too) replied with an valuable error when trying to flash nougat, except failed. I finally found out the at some version (i think August) it is not possible to downgrade the bootloader. Now I have one device running with an unsupported LineageOS 15.1 and had to hand it out to our Boss, because all other device had their new owners. She is kinda unhappy, that hers is different from others , but we cannot buy more A5's just to maybe receive one with an downgradeable Oreo version and trash all others.
My question is now is there any possibility to work around this and downgrade her phone to Nougat to be able to run 14.1 on it too. Any crack, special keys or whatever.
Thank you very much for any hint.

Not at the moment, but 15.1 won't be too far away.
My experience: Downgrad is possible, but you can't downgrade all parts. Not 100% sure, but just don't downgrade BL.
Model SPH-L520
Android 4.4.2
Build KOT49H.L520VPSBQA1
I tried searching but i'm just not sure about all the terminology being used on the results. I thought there might be a pinned thread but i did not see one. I'd like to update the OS on my Samsung S4 mini. I have not done any back-end work on any phone so i'm not sure how all this works. I found this site from a link from another site. Are there any beginner-noob step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade to a newer (Android 7x or +) version?
I am not sure because my device is I9192
