Help Note 5 has root?

I know that rooting methods will not work on Verizon, as Verizon has Samsung encrypt the bootloader... and they are not giving up the decryption key for anything.

Actually, Android has come SO FAR over the last few years that (as I predicted), root has become less and less important. In fact, many features like Android Pay and Samsung Pay (which I love) won't work on rooted devices. So rooting isn't the big deal it was for me even three years ago.

If you still want to root your phone, by all means go for it... but only if you understand and assume the risks!
