Just search, do not be lazy
Oh wow, thanks before posting I searched and found nothing only for older versions using SamFail. Thanks anyways loooool glad to see a gooood comunity

For the US 950U and 950U1 snapdragon there is no root for the May update. That is bootloader revision 4 and has no root at this time. Your best bet is to keep a eye on the samfail thread for updates.
If your past U3 were sol for now. I think theres only one guy working on a possible partial root. There are lots of apps for theming. Substranium and Good lock are great.

Dude.
Just search around.
Don't give us the 'lmao such a good community, how about you go and suck it because I don't want to research' attitude.
It's not our fault you couldn't be bothered to check for any activity and read around.
Plus people are tired of having others ask the same question hundreds of others have asked related to root, it's all about searching or reading.
Don't you think if someone found a way to root the newest firmware there would be a lot more sites talking about it?
Sarcasm aside, no, there is no root for Oreo Bootloaders (U4). Only Nougat with U3 or below.

Before posting I always use the search feature cause it's very usefull. Has you know there are multiple threads and forums and specifically a T-Mobile Model one and its pretty much dead. If YOU read above I said that I didn't see any kind of activity. Another one is that if you read more down below, I stated that all I could find is a SamFail one but it's pretty outdated. So I came here to the Questions & Answers area and posted this thread here to see if anyone had an idea of whats happening with the US models
I don't need for someone to come here and tell me
"Oh don't be lazy and use the search funtion"
Already stated on the first post. Sheesh
And yeah, thanks for the bootloader part.

The thing is theres not much firmware differences between models. They might have slight baseband changes but they're all based on the same thing. So root that would work on a Verizon Note8 would work on a T-Mobile Note8.
And yes, the only one we have is sadly the V3 for those unlucky to update.
And I imagine people would check the last section of the thread to be on standby since apparently theres a new exploit that might (or might not) help.
This is why I assumed you didn't check first, but since you did (I didn't see that part), I apologize.

Thanks for the heads up, I really like the root and all that stuff. Especially for getting rid of all T-Mobile crap on the phone. I'm a person that chages phone alot but I think I'll be giving this guy an exchange for another phone lol. I literally don't last a month with a phone has I like to test other brands and models

Don't worry, I searched everywhere but nothing found. Sometimes you know, people spread rumors or someone may know of something that's been on progress but it doesn't come up on public threads.
I been rooting my phones literally ever since I had an Android phone and always do my reaserch before posting on forums, cause you know there's always the people that come and say "Use the search feature" and always try to avoid that.
And yeah, all I read about was on Nougat. So I'll just asume it's dead.

You switch phones a lot too? Same, heh. Went from having a Note 4 to iPhone 8 Plus, then Note 8, then iPX, then back to Note 8 (cause drawing), but to be fair, I do miss a little of Apple.
To be fair, it's not dead (yet) since the Oreo update landed pretty recently, plus the only tool we had for making it possible got executed pretty much, so I'd give it a little time.
And that search feature situation is a fair point.

Yeah, I have had literally all flagship phones by now except for the Huawei P20.
Last Apple Device I had was the iPX, very good device but the atmosphere of the OS makes it pretty boring to me and get bored at it pretty quickly has you can't make any changes to the look of it.
I got this Note 8, exchanged it for my iPX. The guy that maked the deal with me gave me around 200 bucks and the Note for the iPhone lol.
I love the Note 8, super fast and love the big screen.

A lot of us have already looked at it and still are looking at it we've had it since Monday. Probably beyond my capabilities but i do know the eteam have been looking at it
Seriously. ..whats wrong with people!? Sure i could have, and no I'm not in search of fame and glory. Maybe when i was 15 and also couldn't behave and be nice to people. What i meant was, that if you think i should have posted this in another thread you can point it out in a nice way or just klick thanks and move on. What rudness leads to is real newcomers wont dear to post anything and therefor wont learn and maybe we all miss out on a great contributior. And i disagree as the other threads i found was either saying our phone got LP or was closed. And i would like to give a big thank you to sawdoctor. He answered in a good manor and that should have been the end of this thread. Or did you alla know that i had been looked in to!?

Yes Sawdoctor, you are completely right ?. And AxAtAx makes a good point also. But my main point stands. We should stop flameing and help each other out. A simple "we have threads to discuss this" would have sufficed. Spare the bad attitude. Or i can be wrong? Maybe a bad climate is what everybody wants?
I really understand the concept of starting thread upon thread with the "same" topic isn't productive . But i really thought this was different than "Wow LP is here!". But if you all think otherwise i apologies.

Dad got an Edge and installed leaked Lollipop on it. If I can do something that could help porting it to our Note 4 please tell. But it shouldn't involve root, he doesn't want to root it (yet?).
Ive ran a note edge rom i modded on my note 4 and it throws off the calibration of the screen even after trying to make the exits so it doesnt do that make my note 4 practically unusable til i got into service mode and reset the calibration

Quick question. I know there is a roundabout root method for Snapdragon with SamFAIL, but I am curious if anyone is still working to acquire an unlocked bootloader for Snapdragon, for the full root/recovery experience?

It's simple, take a look at what has been done for current & past Galaxy S Snapdragons. Note phones follow just like the SamFAIL method. There's a reason why people go through the trouble of getting Exynos.
If a method happens to be found/released you will easily find it in a search or quickly in the development section cause it will be big news. Search does work well, if you don't find a method, it's cause it doesnxt exist yet. I personally doubt it will ever happen. The Note 8 is the first time I ever went with an international model for the very same reason.

Wasn't asking if it existed yet, already knew that. As mentioned, anyone with a brain does a search prior to asking to see if it exists first. I was asking if it was still being worked on. Is there any possible way to get Exynos version to work on Verizon?

Lol. I'll be sure to. You could have typed less words answering my question, than getting your panties in another wad over the forum search again. SMH.
For anyone without a brain.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/6801?query=snapdragon bootloader
I'll post a real answer being that all the jerks seem to be chiming in. There has not been an unlocked bootloader on a Snapdragon Samsung device since the Note 4. That was kind of a unique situation because there were Developer's devices floating around at the time. It's never impossible for it to happen, but it is super unlikely for any exploits to allow an unlock at this point. I would even go as far to say that it is almost impossible being that most developers opt out of even owning Snapdragon Samsung devices now and there is likely only maybe a handful of people working on it at best.
To all the "use the search button" people, why not just ignore the post if you don't want to answer it? There is nothing to be gained by being a jerk.
The REAL answer is like @jal3223 says. There are a couple of us working on it. I think like 3...
Is there an Exynos variant that works on Verizon?

It's cause of inability of people like you who do not seem to understand the simple fact that us versions of recent galaxy series have not had any unlocked bootloaders. But unlike any one, you choose to ignore the fact to do some basic search in xda or any other forums. If you feel you are technically sound and smart you should have bought yourself a non snapdragon variant and live happily. Also the dev forum section for note8 has the same q answered multiple times over and over again. Try to keep your pants on before being a sissy to others and ask meaningfully. Peace.

Your so disgruntled. This is not a big deal. It's really not. Dude didn't even ask if it was unlocked, but if it was still being worked on. Which is a legitimate question, even after using the search bar. C'mon guy, stop getting upset, and let's all have some pizza!!!
I appreciate all the REAL answers from those that responded! Glad to hear somebody is still trying, and understand it's a very long shot, but figured since there was a quick root method, maybe there a better chance of unlocking with this Note model.
myechophone may not have found a way to unlock the BL on the Note 8, but he has discovered a way to give himself a period every month, and he is on it right now. Best to ignore him while he has a hormonal meltdown about the forum search.

Well the "quick root method" took advantage of the fact that the s8 and s8+ are very similar firmware and hardware wise. Therefore we were actually looking for exploits for 3 devices at once. It was first found to be working on s8. Then we tested on N8. Sure enough it worked. At that point I had been working on root for N8 for almost a month straight(got my phone early)
Sorry new here.. So am I to believe there is a root method for Carrier unlocked version snapdragon Note 8? If so what is it and does it trip Knox? Sorry for the dumb questions.

I assume this thread will be moved and if it is, then no problem.
I'm coming off of a Galaxy Note 4, whenever my 512 GB Galaxy Note 9 variant actually arrives later this month.
For the GN4, the forums are laid out a little bit differently. The Main GN4 forum and then for carrier specific variants. I also always thought it was confusing how Developer Editions were also lumped into the same areas.
With the GN9, I'm noticing chatter between the two different processors in the same area: Snapdragon and Exynos.
Things like accessories, I'm going to guess, will apply to both models and all carriers, whereas, any "tools" or MODs/ROMs, will not. So, in otherwords, I'll have the T-mobile version, so it'd be nice to see any GN9 accessories and only any compatible ROMs/tools/rooting methods, if applicable. It is to my understanding that such is not possible on this variant...at least, not yet.
That said, any chance the structure of the GN9 area of the forums might be changed up a bit in the future?
Look at the other forums and you will see your answer.
It's mainly to create more clutter and add to the ever increasing confusion that happens here on xda. It's not like the old days where **** got done quickly and answered fast because people had less **** to wade through. Those days are years in then past and never coming back. Get use to the 45 other countries and variants posts to wade through.

It because most things are the same between the versions (even more so when sperated to Qualcomm and Exynos).
But yeah probably because of your reasons. Which is funny since even with all the "confusion" you're still here, must not be that confusing.
i hope they never ever ever ever split by carrier again. its the most retarded thing ever and it dosent even cover all carriers.
By cpu YES
By carrier NO
carrier split causses
duplicate threads and topics. less visibility for cpu specific questions and so on.
if you have carrier specific comments or irritations etc, take it to your carriers forum so they can acctualy hear about your concerns and maybe do something about it!!
It took a while with the Note 8 and Note 7 to create the carrier specific threads. What the hold up is this year, I don't know.
It was done to help the moderators as the carrier threads rarely seen any action in last few years....Every one posts in the regular threads any ways and it became to much to move it all

Now we all work together among all of the sections of samsung... I will leave this thread here as it is a valid discussion,I will make note of separate sections for Snap and EXY But prob not gonna happen at current devices
As to further this it would make sense to do by CPU architecture As all the US now are exactly the same just different firmware This was not always the case Each US carrier tweaked the device to their liking

I've seen similar discussions on other sites,there's pros & cons either way.
Just about all differences can be cured by using the search feature,regardless of how the device forum is set-up.
I just prefer to read about threads that only pertain to my variant, that's how it is with the GN4 forums. For the most part, Accessories and general discussions are all the same, but obviously rooting and ROM usage differs. The Verizon VN4 forums weren't perfect, because it included the Dev Ed, but root was later obtainable so it ended up being ok. Hopefully the Tmo GN9 at see point gets root but I don't have high hopes. It's just a little frustrating having all of these non Tmo threads dangling in my face, talking about root. I feel like a hungry dog being denied a bone. Lol

are you aware that US carriers all have snapdragon chip for a while now. When and if root comes, it won't be for a specific carrier but for that snapdragon cpu.
the threads you are reading are from the exynos cpu variant. the quicker you realise this the quicker you will turn from an animal to a sentient being...
I sort of know how that works. VZW had a bootloader lock, that was exploited by a CID, I think. Can't remember the rest of the root process, it's been awhile. So now that I'm on Tmo, I assume there could be carrier related locks on the bootloader as well, much less anything related to snapdragon.

I still got the rooted one needs a screen
it had safestrap bootloader is still locked but their are a couple stock based roms but no aosp or such If im not mistaken Been a long time

I sort of know how that works. VZW had a bootloader lock, that was exploited by a CID, I think. Can't remember the rest of the root process, it's been awhile. So now that I'm on Tmo, I assume there could be carrier related locks on the bootloader as well, much less anything related to snapdragon.

on recent modern time devices its pretty much how i described it.
I have searched the forums and the web trying to find a thread for a "root progress" (like the one we had on the LG V30 side of the world) of our T-MOBILE/AT&T/VERIZON/SPRINT note 9, but didn't find any. If there is one already, please remove this thread and provide me a link to it if you may.
Anyway,
There are two reasons why I'm creating this thread:
1. We used to have forums that are carrier specific. It was very neat and organized. I'd never gotten confused on finding something related to my device. Now, it is just one and very very cluttered forum for all varients (to the point that I'm not sure which variant is rootable and which isn't. And that's why I left out the sprint varient because I'm honestly not sure). There are so many threads that makes it so hard to find what you're looking for.
2. I'd like to know if there are any devs out there that are working on root for this phone (on the carriers mentioned above) and whether they need help testing. If there is; I'm sure there are a ton of users who are willing to help, including me.
I'd love for some devs to chime in and give us some updates. Not asking for any ETAs, but would love to know if there is any work being done. If there is, then please consider this thread to share your progress with us
So, feel free to throw your comments on here. Also, if you're a user who's wondering about root, has thoughts about root, would like to chat about it, go ahead, vent it out.
Cheers

I am also interest in US variant root progress. I am on Sprint though. Wish you had included us too in OP. I am willing to test out if anyone is developing.
Hi
Great idea, maybe if we show interest some of the dev's might take up the challenge.
We can hope.

Wont ever happen thats why i returned it and got the 960f for tmobile i left sprijt
It's a pipe dream to get root on the US variants. Samsung has even blocked SamFail and similar root. The bootloaders cannot be unlocked and the snapdragon processor models are doomed.
Join @pbedard, myself, and others; return your snapdragon model and buy the 960F.
The Note 9 is great, but it's amazing with root. ??

carrier specific should be banned and never be implemented again.
it causes confusion and is just a waste of resources. people ask questions and get less visibility because 90% of all questions or releases are CPU based and not carrier related.
it's simply a less efficient way of going about things.
carrier related issues and questions should actually be discussed in that specific carriers website. what good is it to discuss or bring up carriers issues in xda when you actually want and need carriers support and visibility from their end to fix or correct their issues?
issues that are based on device type or general custom development should be kept on xda as is: by cpu. there are sections for general inquires and such that can easily be used for the 10% asking questions or support for a specific carrier.
BTW
extra extra read all about it:
no root for the n960 snapdragon. it's a moot point and progress is that there is no progress. I'd think if the people that were working and progressing getting root were actually getting somewhere they would have already posted info by now. speculative threads wishing for something is not progress and I don't think its gonna " attract " people to suddenly develope root because if it.
it will come when it does if it does.
edit:
to prove my point for the carrier thing:
in Canada we also have the note 9 snapdragon.
960w Bell/rogers/telus/videotron/wind mobile...etc and so on.
should the forums be re-spliced for all of these too? lol no

Sorry, budd. Didn't know that you guys didn't have root either. I'll edit later.

The way Samsung has been locking phones the past few years I'm starting to wonder why I shouldn't try an iPhone out.

I was telling myself the same thing.. then snapped out of it and got an LG lol. Get a Pixel or any other brand if you value root.

its really the carriers imo.. well the US mainly haha.. most all other devices are unlockable outside of the US..
but agreed, especially with the RMM stuff they implemented recently even on unlockable devices..

I honestly cant afford to pay for this phone outright. I wish I could. I would've gotten the exynos varient and called it a day, financing through tmobile was the only option I had to get my hands on this phone. Even without root, it's still a stellar phone.

Is root even worth it anymore tbh ? What if we tried to get Volte and wifi calling working on the unbranded firmware ?

You could have gotten one on ebay and pay it over six months with the PayPal Credit option. That's what I did to get Exynos model.

I'm just checking if there's been a root discovered yet because it's been awhile and I'm just checking in to see if any progress has been made. Thanks
Yes. I rooted my T+Mobile Note 9 this morning. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, used Magisk Hide to preserve Knox so I have Samsung Pay, free hotspot, no bloat, and 20 hour SOT.
Is this possible with my AT&T Note 9?

No, not possible on Snapdragons anymore (aside from N9600) and likely never will be.

common knowledge like what is root and how to do it is as common as what is acctualy rootable and how to achieve it.
the common ground is reading and searching. If self evident topics aren't found to match your wishes, then why would asking the question make it possible when what is available is what's achievable.
screw u OJ you bought the wrong phone.

technically what i quoted you on, dosen't qualify as a real ontopic question. so your above statement has no weight. my comment was more in response to your 'reply' to mr.orange and partly on the actual benefits of reading and using search.

It is not possible to root the US Snapdragon version of the Note 9. It's impossible to unlock the bootloader, and root has not and will not be discovered.
If you want root you need to buy an international Exynos version.
I made a sarcastic response, because this question has been asked about a hundred times on this forum. Yes, this forum is for you to learn. I WANT you to learn. But there's so much information here already. Either use the search function befotr asking a question (which is actually in the rules that you agreed to by signing up for an account), or use Google, which will often lead you to the relevant thread here on XDA. Teach a man to fish, or give a man a fish.
I guarantee if root had been achieved, it would be a stickies thread and the number 1 most popular thread on here.
As far as personal insults from you, they roll off my back. You don't know me. And Steve Buscemi who played Mr. Pink is one of my favorite actors, so that's actually cool.
* * * Thread Cleaned * * *
Let's all remember that posting rude, disrespectful, insulting, and off-topic comments are violations of Forum Rules.
While I understand the frustration of dealing with those who ask without searching, or who start trouble, you can see how effective it is to remind them that they should first search; it just leads to more back and forth, bickering, and insults, etc....
I would ask that in the future, when someone is too lazy to search, if you do not feel like answering the question for the 100th time, simply do not respond at all, or if they become bothersome, simply REPORT their posts and allow Moderation staff to handle the situation.
As everyone can see, it went from a few lazy or insulting posts to nearly a page full with all the responses included
I appreciate all the members who use Xda as designed, who do their homework, search, and respond with helpfulness and respect.
Thanks!
tl;dr
Don't feed the trolls, become part of the solution (report troublemakers), not part of the problem (argue with troublemaker)

To redeem this thread, let it be "noted" that the N9600 model has the same Snapdragon processor and root. See klabit87's twrp/root method.

Truth. However, that is because Samsung allowed the international version to be bootloader unlocked. The US Snapdragon (N960U) can NOT be unlocked or rooted.
