Anyone found full Odin restore for SM-G892A ?

Seconded. I am waiting patiently for anything about rooting this phone and hopefully even some ROM ports from the S8/+

I just picked up this phone last week and a little disappointed that there isn't any info on rooting yet. So there's currently no way? I saw multiple places saying Kingroot works partially, but it does nothing for me.

Don't hold your breath

To be honest, I wouldn't get your hopes up. I bought a Galaxy S6 Active in 2015 and there's still no reliable root method (at least according to the S6 Active forum here). I bought the S8 Active a couple weeks ago because I love the hardware (SM-G890A is still the first phone I couldn't find a way to break in two years), but I'm not banking on root happening soon. I'd love to be wrong.

1. Root is nothing but an unreliable hassle anymore. No real reason for it like there used to be.
2. The active has ALWAYS been way behind on root, IF it gets it.

So confused as to why people keep picking up phones like the snapdragon S8, active etc and THEN coming here looking for root and ROMs. You want that kind of stuff get a pixel or a Nexus. Or spend 5 minutes on Google FIRST

There are lots of reasons for wanting root.
I cant use an adblocker without a VPN without root access.
I can't make some UI adjustments even with alt. launchers and things like KLWP
I can't remove some of the bloatware from Samsung and AT&T

There are others but the adblocking method alone is a good enough reason for me
