At&t Samsung Galaxy Sm-N950U Root bounty?
- Thread starter note crazy
- Start date
From the perspective of using the device with any app that requires root .... it works for every app that I have tried to use .... Titanium Backup, Root Explorer , Viper , etc etc
No the bootloader isn't unlocked but things can be flashed with FlashFire with the SamFail root
We're forgetting one thing: Safety Net, anything that requires it fails. No rooting for me, I'd rather keep all my features, than give up on wireless payments and Pokemon GO.
Wonder if Magisk will work it's way over to the Note 8 side of things to help with that... Think I read somewhere that a safetynet passing tool is already in the works..
Im working on a full root method. Im seeing what this guy was on to. My thoughts are that once I can get to s-boot terminal it should be roses.
The current root method requires an outdated bootloader one that fails to filter out electric noise on aux in my truck when charging also the battery max stuck @ 80% fail along with the fact that it doesn't work at all friendly with my non-standard carrier total wireless. So I'm motivated for a root solution that also comes with a bootloader unlock.

Thank you, I will check him out.. BTW Most of the links in his account don't open..
He can't help. Read his latest posts, he's moved on to bigger and better things.
Its ok I'm working on something right now and I'll let you all know what I get when I get it...
Not yet... It takes a while when everyone and their dog think current methods are "Good Enough".
Gotchya.
Good luck anyway. Hey, do you think it's worth in the meantime to use the SamFail method?
Samfail method really is broken root. Limits battery to %80 charge and break all safety net checking apps. IMO not worth it.
If you read about batteries in todays cell phones they say to get the most out of battery life charge to 80% and dont let drop below 20%. Samfail is ok for now..lol

Would buying and using the unlocked version get around the root restriction or would I be facing the same problem?
Only if you buy the international version, which causes other losses in features.
All usa models are bootloader locked and only have a half ass root method. Really no good options for root right now for USA users.

^buys $900+ phone, nerfs all of its performance for a few root features... And reduce the battery life by %20 but says it's cool?...
This is why there is no root for USA phones anymore, because everyone is "OK" with fake root and halfway devs cash in on bounties for it.
Was pointing out what I read about battery life bro thats it.
