IIRC it was achieved with the gear 1 & 2.. Not a whole lot of options but hopefully achievable with the S. Check those forums for more info

Yes root is possible but you can't shange much on Tizen the email issue you would have to root your phone to the latest email. not GS it pulls from your phone. Root for GS will give us little things like custom ringtones some color fonts ect. But yes root has been done on Gear 2 and gear 1 (android)
And some peoples emails are fine it depends on your carrier
This will be my favorite thread. Lol
I'm sure we will get it. May take a little time. But don't think it will be far off from Gear 2.

Gear S Stock Firmwares Make Rooting Fun ...
So, the stock firmwares are available for the SM-R750/R750B(Brazil)/R750D(DoCoMo/Japan)/R750J (KDD/Japan)/R750T (T-Mobile USA)/R750W (Canada/Peru/other randoms).
I don't see anything from AT&T though (SM-R750A) which is what I have. I'm not going to be able to do anything to it, like trying for Root, until stock firmware is available ... Has anyone with one of the above models been working on making any progress?
I'm downloading the T-Mobile firmware to bust it open and see what's in there.

Where are you downloading from? Whatever links I find are ads and bs, and Samsung updates is just more ads when you click on the DL link and t-mobile version is not on samobile yet.

I downloaded T-Mobile (SM-R750T) from Samsung Updates. Not sure I am allowed to link to it but they have all of the ones available except AT&T (SM-R750A) which I just don't understand! Anyway I haven't had a lot of time to pick apart the .img files because I had to get my VMWare up and running so I could install Yaffers blah blah blah.
No stock firmware from Verizon?
Oh yeah!!! I'm sorry I forgot. No stock for Verizon or Sprint either. T-Mobile only. So ... Until that happens ... Be careful!!!

Ask for it from Sammobile.com. That's how I got AT&T's.
I don't think root is going to happen for this device at least not from XDA users. People are just into watch faces right now which is fine but no one is modding.

Hi, I’m Christina, and I’ll be glad to assist you today. I understand how important it is for your device to function properly. HTC does not support leaked versions of the ROMS because of this we are unsure whether you will be able to install the new version of the ROM. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support.
I hate how stupid HTC reps think people are. I sent three emails to finally get a somewhat decent response.
Now that it is quite humerous.... Thank you for that, I needed a laugh. BTW, why are you so worried about getting the OTA? The leaked v3 is very identical to the OTA.... just download that instead...

Well, the only development to come to the eris for a while is going to be new roms. root for leakers is still not here yet, and from what ive seen wont be for a bit. We already have root. and the Eris Master App makes it super simple. just get a new phone and root it. with root, you can install roms that have OTA included, plus better themes, and can do a lot more than with just 1.5 or 2.1 non root.
Just curious, how many developers are working on root for leakers?
According to VZW support's twitter account (http://twitter.com/vzwsupport), "@jfkerekes Yes, leakers should receive the OTA by 5/24. Manual download is not available. *NK"

Verizon reps are stupid as hell and dont know what theyre talking about most of the time.
HTC is the source and they know everything but just arent happy to share until bugged 24/7.
First of all, I am not sure that this is the right place to post, but I am new here so please move the topic if it is not the right place.
Secondly, English is not my native language so excuse any mistake I can make.
Thirdly, I am not an Android pro so I may use words for others, I hope you'll understand what I mean.
So, I was a bit stupid yesterday and followed a tutorial to root my Galaxy Player 5.8, tutorial that didn't apply to the Galaxy Player 5.8. Now, It is stuck on a screen showing a yellow triangle and an icon that surely means "connect the device to the PC". I can still use Odin. But What should I use Odin for ? Is there some working ROM or something somewhere that I can get on my device ? Even if that ROM is not rooted, I'd still like to be able to boot my Android instead of being stuck at that screen.
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help provided.
edit Nevermind, found what I wanted here: http://www.gsmkhmer.com/index.php?topic=8496.0 (remove spaces to get the link, I can't post links until 10 posts)

I can't really tell, I never owned a 5.0
In fact this device is my first Android device, so of course I am really amazed by everything it does, even more now that it is rooted
It is rather big but I was used to carry calculators in my pockets so it fits pretty well
The only downside of the big screen is that if you only have one hand available, your thumb can't get everywhere on the screen
Other than that it is great

It is legal to attach it. But you can't because the file is too large. You can upload it somewhere like dropbox or google drive and post the link here with spaces in the link so all we have to do is get rid of the spaces.
As for 4.2, its probably the same story as every other galaxy player. Samsung doesnt want release it so we have to make it. Might have to do the same if you want it

Will it get Lollipop? Is it true? Did Samsung confirm update?
There was a leaked Lollipop list from Sammy and the N3N was there if I remember correctly. Yet, I wouldn't be surprised that the KitKat is the last update we ever get. It seems, this device is not loved even by Samsung stores.
Funny story, I went to buy either N3 or the N3N. I was browsing and testing both of them. A blue-shirt Sammy seller came up to me and tried to convince me to buy the N4 instead. When he failed that, he tried the N3. When he saw that I was more interested in the N3N (mostly because of the price/performance), he said: "I wouldn't recommend that phone. This is a sub-par Samsung device. They just tried something and it didn't work out. You should get a proper phone like the N3 or the S5" Go figure...

Yeah idk
If gaining root were as easy as changing apn settings, the bootloader would b unlocked probably. The issue is partly HARDWARE related. Different carriers ship their devices with slightly different components on the board. That's why when u take the battery out, u see carrier branded stickers and printing. And, the key needed to unlock the bootloader is encrypted in a way that attempting to crack it will result in the device not even booting due to the fact that certain security checks are performed in an order that depends on the previous checks in the boot sequence to be valid before moving on to the next check. So...If you're not already rooted...pray. That's all u can do.
The phone is far from a flagship device. I think the expectation is that most people are moving on to newer devices this year. Personally, I'm not liking the trend of single body phones with "premium materials" very much so I'll wait to see what else is it there.
Such a shame that VZ took this direction with their business instead of embracing the dev community.

I wonder if these mdk s4's are still worth anything?
Hmm.. On swappa maybe $10-20 more than a regular s4.
Can't even find any on ebay. Guess this phone has truly reach EOL.
How do they even get away with this without class action LS.. probably because too may people like me buying before they take the time to work out that they're selling gizmos loaded with bloatware, boobytrapped to keep it that way.

You *can* root the s4 i454 on lollipop. Use kingroot.apk and switch to SuperSU. Google that... It takes a few steps (on the switch)
I was just wondering why all the other phones have roots except for the Galaxies?
Some say it is because the providers are locking the bootloader. The question is; are those providers locking the Galaxy bootloader only?
Does anyone think this will make people move from Galaxy to other [rootable] models?
Honestly, this is the first Samsung phone in where I don't think you need root. They allow themes, it's awesome on battery, runs really smoothly, and offers a ton of features that work well. The only reason I ever modded my phone was to increase the longevity and add to it's features... something I haven't really needed on this phone. So I doubt it. I hope they come out with Oreo soon...

Just FYI but if you did a search here on XDA you'd discover that the Snapdragon S8 has had root for a few months now. It's doubtful that we'll see an unlocked bootloader though. Search is your friend!

Thanks for the input. I saw the root, however, I'm debating whether to root or not. The version listed there is older than what we have. And, like Mr. eatmeimadanish mentioned I haven't had a need for rooting so far. It's just I miss the nice ROMs that different people were putting up with so many more tweaks and stuff. And, there are some applications that work on rooted phones, which I'm unable to use anymore.

And, like Mr. eatmeimadanish mentioned I haven't had a need for rooting so far. It's just I miss the nice ROMs that different people were putting up with so many more tweaks and stuff. And, there are some applications that work on rooted phones, which I'm unable to use anymore.

I haven't rooted either. I'm happy with my S8+ as is. Besides, I use Samsung Pay all the time. Also, without an unlocked bootloader there won't be any custom roms.

Yes there is. I'm sure if you search here in xda you should find it.

I did do a search, but couldn't find something specific to Rooting...
But also....this will be an unlocked bootloader so no custom Roms
Was the Galaxy S5 the same? Cant remember if it had an unlocked BL

1) S8 Snapdragon root . It looks like it's been cleaned up quite a bit since the last time I saw it. Keep in mind, it's not the easy process that we used to have, so read, read and then read again. I personally have not done it as I'm happy with my S8+ as is.
2) Correct, no unlocked bootloader = No custom ROMs.
3) No, the S5 bootloader was unlocked, which is why we had some great Roms. I miss MOAR, but life changes, I've moved on.
Off the topic but, I remember u Ramer from the S5 MOAR thread. I had that rom on my s5 also. I love my s8+ as well.

I saw the rooting thread, and even downloaded the files. But I'm hesitating if I should root or not. The thread is closed, which means it's not keeping up with the updates. Although, we all say we're happy with the phone as is. But, are we really?
