I got a new s8+ and I'm wondering if root is possible on my version of the s8+. I want to root but I don't want to follow the wrong guide and possible mess up my phone. I'm familiar with adb and Odin since I used to have a note 4 (sm-n910v) rooted.

Just bought an AT&T Note 4 today, I was informed it had 4.4.4, but it instead had 5.1.1, and root had been a big part of all 3 previous Note phones I've owned, so I was looking for a way to do so, seems like nothing's been accomplished yet, until I stumbled upon this. Will this work on 5.1.1 even with that locked bootloader?

Im bot aure exactly what you are asking but from what i gather you are either wondering about downgrade or root. Either way it is not possible once the phone is on 5.1.1 you are stuck with only one way to go and thats up when and if an update comes. As for root its looking highly impossible to get our bootloader unlocked as at&t never released a developer edition of our phone which makes a reliable root impossible. I would recomend if you have the cash yo do so sell the at&t note 4 and get a tmobile note 4 which is unlocked and rootable
Was the 4.4 bootloader unlocked? It's not possible to restore 4.4 in download mode with Odin or anything?
No it is not possible odin will fail because the 5.1.1 bootloader is secure and detects all attempts to overwrite or change it and stops the process. So basically you can not touch the bootloader downgrade or root or modify the system or kernel in any way unless the bootloader is hacked or unlocked period. Sorry
P.s. if it would have been that simple (boy do i wish it was) you would find a thread on here about downgrading to 4.x.x from 5.1.1 and not so many threads about root waiting room and things like that

Well can't downgrade from lollipop back to kitkat, but look at my threads, and if it helps, just add a little thanks!

I just Ebayed into a Note 4. I wanted the N4 for it's AMOLED display and camera. I don't know how I feel about the S Pen. I'm new to it. The phone came with 6.0.1, build MMB29M, baseband N910VVRU2CPF3.
When I get a phone I usually want to root it, clean off the bloat and install TWRP. I don't often swap into non-stock ROMs. Resetting up the phone after flashing is more hassle than I want to deal with.
1. Can I unlock the bootloader, root and install TWRP in this phone's current version?
2. If I take the CPG2 OTA before Rooting, will that stop me from unlocking the bootloader and rooting?
3. Is there any way to get security updates after I root?
I can follow cook book instructions but don't have a deeper understanding of Android or Linux.
Thanks for any guidance you can give me with this.
I think so. I also want a Verizon Note 4 to upgrade my recently cracked Verizon Note 3. I have been looking for a Note 4 phone with build BPA1, but that April 2016 build seems hard to come by now. It looks like the site below seems to show we can still unlock these magnificent phones with upgradeable storage and replaceable battery. Let me know if it works for you.

Here we go, this thread seems to show people with Verizon Note 4 did roll back with ODIN to BPA1 after installing a Marshmallow update as late as 3 months ago. Hopefully it still works for you. I think the instructions above need you to be on BPA1 first, but I did not look through too carefully yet. I would definitely recommend not taking any OTAs from now on if you really want root.

So im trying to root my Verizon note 7 with kingoroot and its not working. Can anybody help?
What is your build number? look in about phone
I thought it is not possible to root the Note 7 with kingoroot. The only method that works is OvrDriVE method and will only work if you have the PH1 build. If you have the PHE then there is no possible root and probably will never be one since no one will be developing for this device.
i was just doing some browsing and noticed that there isnt really any root for the note 5 att variant, then i found out the new cf auto root generator and it has this variant on there with the 6.0.1 version im on which is n920aucs4cpk1 baseband version it has it on the site and the 7.0 version and was wondering if anyone has tried this or not? i have seen the tethered semi root, i just picked up this phone, i have been wanting one for so long and dont want to risk a hardbrick as i have done that in the past with the s3's by accident, anyone willing to test it? i know the bootloader is locked but i am unsure if thats the only thing in the way of root or not
locked, so no rooting yet/ever. thats an old device, already 7 and 8, so doubt if anyone working on it
Has anyone tried to use towelroot (or equivalent) on us models? I'm currently using sprint.
towel root was mostly samsung I have tmobile version we all need to work together and we will do it
Did not know that. Thanks.
maybe we need to root like the aristo 2 I just rooted one may try on g7
