[Q] Flashing project infinity over CF auto root - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA, I have the Galaxy S5 Tmobile, unlocked it to use At&t service. Rooted it CF auto root,no recovery, now I want to custom Rom it with Project Infinity. My question is " can I just flash the Project Infinity over it or do I need to unroot CF auto root and start over to add the custom rom? Or just flash Project Infinity over CF auto root? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

i think you can flash it over the CF root recovery.

[Q] Questions on installing CWM

Hi all, im a noobie with samsung devices and this whole Odin thing so decided to ask here before messing up things.
So, i want to install a custom rom. I rooted my device with towelroot just a while ago, so now i only need a CWM recovery.Can i just download the latest CWM .tar file for note 3 and flash it through Odin? Will the fact that i rooted using towelroot have any impact on this? Also, will towelroot stick when flashing the CWM recovery, or flashing a new rom?
Can Rom Manager be used to install CWM, as i understand that it is a supported device. Is it a worse way than going through Odin?
My plan is to make a backup with CWM and then probably flash X-Note rom if all goes how i planned it.
Sorry if these questions are answered somewhere, couldn't find with browsing and searching for a good while.
Im on N9005 and 4.4.2
Thanks for all help!

Use this to install CWM through Odin it is better.
When u flash the new ROM and after wiping, the root using towelroot will be gone but probably the rom u'll be flashing will already be rooted or u can root easily with CF auto root.
I recommend TWRP over CWM, especially for a new flasher

Towelroot doesn´t trip Knox but don´t forget that custom ROM or recovery trip know to 0x1.
Don´t use any ROM managers etc. It make a lot of problems with phone

There is already a way to go back to stock if you ever do decide to root. Give it a try and if you want, you can flash stock again.
TWRP Recovery is now available for the Note 4 on Tmobile.

Can you do a video on how to unroot or at least some step by step directions?
I've tried to find an answer to this but can't seem to get a 100% sure answer. If I simply root, that's all, no custom recovery. Will I still get OTA if/when Samsung/T-mobile release an update (ie Lollipop)? Thanks!

Yes you should get OTA if you stay stock.
I had a Quick question about Twrp recovery
I have a tmobile note 4 sm-n910t. I have rooted with cf auto root and put the twrp recovery on and flashed the sd card fix. If I unroot via odin with the stock rom will android recovery be installed again or do I have to flash android recovery again to get rid of twrp recovery. If I do have to reflash android recovery again do you know where I can find it.

Root Note 3 N9005

Hi guys I would like to make the root on my samsung Note 3 SM-N9005 with lollipop version 5.0 official. Can I use CF-AutoRoot to do precisely the root ??

You can take a look this video for avoid problems and to root it perfectly.
* The last TWRP update for your device is this ONE. Replace this to the video one.
but I can do it with CF-AutoRoot?
As far as I know CF Auto root works. But that's not how I recommend to root. Flash a custom recovery, TWRP for example, then flash the SuperSU zip from there, done. Google about both stuffs.
Can I install the recovery even without the root?

First the recovery, root then.

Rooting issue Note 4

Guys,
I rooted my note 4 N910G using CF root method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...-root-t2897428
When I open xmod and other root apps, its asking for root access and its granted. But those apps are asking me to root again.
Means those apps are acting like my phone is not rooted..
Not able to install viper in stock ROM.
May I know the best rooting method for our N910G?
I don't want to install custom ROM because I'm not getting more than 3 hrs SOT.
Thanks.

You need to install a modified kernel in order to properly root your phone.
