Just now I upload it for your clarification. My variant is SM-G955FD Indian variant. This method works 100% on SM-G955FD / F Exenos variants. I dont tested on other variants

This will not work on the US Snapdragon variant, so that's why no one is replying.

Hey, with this method your warranty is still void?

bro, I dont care about warranty. If you do care ....Please dont root.

I guess many of us cares about warranty, even if they want to root their phone (including me, without using custom rom). Too shame if you have root on your device, and it's stops working you aren't covered anymore even if you can demonstrably that it caused by defected hardwares.

ps: I had the same situation with my LG G4 with it's motherboard issue. They didn't wanted to fix it, even LG acknowledged that those phones have defective motherboard (And the fault was still in production).
Shame on LG...

Thank you, really appreciate your answer.

Thank you, really appreciate your answer.

Bro, you are from Hungary. By European union laws tampering with software doesn't void warranty.

I've got no idea, but they still rejected my phone. Can you help me to link this EU law what I could refer to? Probably if its true I'm going to court.

Thanks in advance! :victory:

Why can nobody do a simple google search? I have to do this every time for others. I'm not linking to the actual law because I don't have time but go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998801

I can google and I did that, but Ive found no real solution thats why I asked it here. Not to mention that ive found that topic, but there werent any suggestions about a hungarian permutation of this law. Since mine was declined probably because there arent any local law . Even your reply style wasn't really nice I appreciate your answer.
Thanks

It's already in EU so all laws apply. No need for local laws.

Because of Hungarian and EU laws, even if Knox is triggered, Samsung can't refuse repairs within warranty But as soon as it is triggered, a few features will stop working and you'll need to be on a custom ROM for them to work (stuff like Samsung Health, pretty much everything Knox related, and of course Samsung Pay).

As it was said before, this regulation is to be used even if there's no local law about it. You can ALWAYS reference it towards the manufacturer. However Samsung in the EU, especially with flagships, is quite nice. Premium category, premium support, etc., they usually even replace stuff that was damaged by the user.

I have a G955FD also. I'll be trying this when I can to confirm. Yeah I returned my unlocked G955U because I hear there is no way in hell that was going to get the bootloader unlocked. All I want is to root my phone and do some minor tweaks, no change in ROM is fine with me. Maybe tomorrow if I can understand the steps well. I'm a noob so I'll have to make sure I get the steps right.

Root was figured out for the USA Snapdragon S8+, and will trickle down to the S8 as well when the appropriate files are found. S8+ release will be any day now. Bootloader still faces the same issue.

That's interesting. All the posts I read is that there's no way it would ever be rooted because of the bootloader. This is my first international phone, so I think it would be fine to steer away from the Snapdragon for a change.

By all means, probably a good idea. Just simply updating you with the fact Snapdragon has root too, just not bootloader unlock.

I have the UAE version (G955FD) with build G955FXXU1AQG5.
THIS METHOD WORKS! Thank You!

I am not a developer, I am just a guy that likes to do minor tweaks with root access.
But I'm wondering if from step 12 onward, wouldn't it be possible to just load verity and supersu on the SDCard prior starting this whole process and just flash it that way rather than sideloading? Should be the same thing.

One more thing is I got this notification after the whole root process and installing all apps saying "unauthorized access blah blah, restart to fix." This was shown by the device management. I couldn't stop that notification from popping up even after swiping away. What I did was I just froze SecurityLogAgent 5.1.09 with Titanium and that solved that problem.
