HELP ME BECOME A "ROOTER"

[TezthegalaxyUser]

I have a Galaxy S7 running on Sprint/Boost network, Android 8.0 Oreo, so far on researching rooting my phone there is no such way due to a locked bootloader, all the posts I see were from a couple years ago, is the status the same? I also have a Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon, android 6.0,can that be rooted to be used a game phone?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

You want to root Sprint and Verizon Samsungs?

Very difficult or impossible AFAICT. International variants are usually easy to root.

Just do not root.
Do not root at all.

I would tend to disagree. If rooting is what you want to do, and you know the risks, and you know how to fix anything that goes wrong, I say go for it

And by the way, who are "we"? lol.

i think the note 3 might one of the few samsung devices with a snapdragon chip for the US that can be rooted.

to root or not to root will always be a debatable question. there are pros and cons to both. i would root my note 8, if i could. i would do it only to say that my phone is rooted. i used to root htc phones back in the day when htc was a major player in android. but i also see that there is not much of a reason to root phones these days....especially the flagship phones.

i'm actually thinking about getting the pixel 4 when it comes out, just so i can finally have a phone that i can root.

A couple of years ago I wanted to root my phone so I could record the screen while playing games or save some phone conversations.

But later many of my phones already have those features that comes with stock ROM so I no longer need rooting.

That's quite an old phone now. May not be up to some gaming anyways.
