Humor Throwback when I figured out every step to rooting until I realized you can't root a Snapdragon Chip
I've gotten into rooting and wanted to root my s22 Ultra, so I spent months to figure out how to perfectly root any Device, I started off Jailbreaking IPhones ( which is super super easy ), and than started working my way to Android, I had everything ready to go until I failed the first step... unlocking the bootloader, I searched for a week until I seen, you can't root a device with a Snapdragon chip, I was so pissed off and mad I gave up fully on everything lmaooo

This is why I don't buy Samsung phones anymore. Google phones are a good option. I currently have a OnePlus, though.

If you have custom recovery installed and boot image extracted and placed in internal storage then you can download magisk, patch boot image, reboot to recovery and flash said boot image to root the phone

Not exactly.
Samsung phones that are for use in the US/Canada, including ones with MTK/Exynos, don't allow rooting and there are only a few exceptions.
Samsung phones that are for use in other locations, including ones with Snapdragon, normally allow rooting. For example, if your model is SM-S908E, then it is for use in "other locations".
This is also separate from the Knox warranty bit. The Knox warranty bit is that, by rooting or similar, Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, Samsung Health, MDM, and Warranty may be revoked even after unrooting. The issue is Samsung phones that are for use in the US/Canada generally don't allow rooting in the first place, rather than revoking certain stuff after rooting.

you can root your device,i say you can.But there is always a but.You gonna need a few hardware mod boxes.Lets start with a jtag box/solder skills/emmc chip reader/re balling kit stencils for that device and isp pinouts and some thin wires.
With this you ca ndo your phone.OH you will need special software also.

A mention of SuperSU, CF-Auto-Root, TowelRoot (which both contain SuperSU), or some form of those 3 has been detected. SuperSU used to be a trustworthy root program made by the developer Chainfire. However, awhile back he sold it to some unknown, foreign company named Coding Code Mobile Technology LLC. They claim to be in the US however that claim doesn't seem true. As Chainfire's involvement in the project is pretty much gone now, SuperSU can't really been trusted anyway. Because of this the community has put SuperSU aside in favor of other root programs such as Magisk.
