Hello, I'm having a problem when rooting my device. I've successfully flashed the CF-Auto-Root file and it says "PASS" in Odin but the phone boots into recovery and won't boot to the OS and the recovery is showing this message: "Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing".
I've used this file to root: http://download.chainfire.eu/727/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedx-smg900f.zip How can I fix this? I've flashed BOB7 stock and the phones back to normal but I need to root in order to install a custom recovery (Philz)
Thanks.

You can try this if you want it works when using TWRP recovery but not sure about Philz
Make sure you don't have super user app installed on your phone
Download the attached zip and put it in a folder on your phones internal storage
Install Philz custom recovery via Odin
When the phone reboots go to the market and install Chainfires SuperSU, this one here
Once installed reboot phone into recovery and install the zip file you downloaded above
Reboot the phone and go to the SuperSU app and tap it, give it a moment and it should ask for you to grant root access
If it has worked as it does with TWRP you will be rooted, let me know if it works or not.

I don't really want to risk anything , I've also noticed that there are 2 CF-Auto-Root files , one that says kltedx and other that says kltexx. Should I give the other one (kltexx) a try? Also , my friend told me that I need to root first and then install a custom recovery (Philz).

I never mentioned CF Auto Root the process mentioned above doesn't use it. it is just TWRP Recovery 2.4 or higher you install via Odin
Then SuperSu form the marked
Then boot into recovery and install the zip file which updates SuperSU binary to give root access
That's it, no CF Aoto Root

Are you sure that your method is going to work on my G900F? I'm on Lollipop OB7 if that makes any difference.

I cannot get root back on 4.4.2 at all on FNB8 (after OTA update)
Tried using Odin 3.07 and 3.09 with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
There are no errors, it reboots, goes through the small setup, reboots again yet no root. Also tried installing SuperSU zip through recovery. Still no errors but no super su on phone.
Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
EDIT: Also, just to confirm - I have checked with a root checker - there is no root
i always just use the option in philz recovery to restore root, then either install supersu app through recovery zip or install it form the play store.
it's under philz settings, then restore root

I have CWM touch, is it OK to just install over it or do I need to remove it first somehow?
just flash the latest philz using odin. whenever you flash a recovery it replaced the whole recovery partition i believe.
Tried rooting with Philz, it went through OK. Booted into OS, downloaded Super SU. Still not root
EDIT: Sorry Gloris, I got philz working, edited just before you made that next reply.
weird, i've never had that so not sure what to suggest. just to be clear, you got to download mode and flashed philz and all went fine in odin?
and just to be sure....try removing battery for 30 seconds, then insert battery and press and hold home key and volume UP while pressing power button (I tend to keep all 3 buttons pressed until i see the "se android is not enforcing" message and it's booting into recovery.
::EDIT::
no problem, did you get root working also? i've attached the zip that i flash after choosing restore root option in philz......i didn't make this zip, so not takign any credit or anything, jsut sharing it because it might be useful.
i generally prefer my device non rooted, but i use this method to quickly restore root to apply any rom changes then full unroot from within super su app. I found it's the easiest way to gain root access (works for me even from a fresh rom install too).
I recently updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 on my galaxy s5 sm-g900s device. But i cant seem to get root working. Everytime I odin flash cf auto root, the red andriod logo would appear but the supersu app would not. After that, i flash cwm recovery and then flash supersu file through the recovery mode. I then atempt to reenable supersu through the settings but it would say that it cannot ennable/instal supersu and go restart the phone and try again. But this time is says something lile "cannot install or update binary."
I tried this 4 times alrdy and each time before flashing root, i would flash stock firmware to make sure my device is clean.
Usb debugging and allow download from unkown source is on.
I also tried sphinx root but it put my phone into a bootloop
Try this here
Thank me later...

now I noticed you have PC, are you on stock rom?
can you backup your important data ?
do you have your mobile firmware on your pc ?(you can just download it from sammobile)
if you have all then you should install your firmware again via odin in order to make your phone clean( i don't advise you to do factory reset because superSU became a system app in your case )
after that you should install custom recovery like TWRP or other.... and it must be official, you can pick it from this form or from TWRP site, *tar or *md5 format, then install it via odin, this will be the first step in any phone rooting or other things.....
then download superSU (chainfire) *zip format to your SDcard or phone memory
then boot into recovery and take backup for most important thing (efs,boot,....)
after than install superSU .zip in recovery mode..then reboot to system
now open SU apk and let him remove Knox....
reboot again, and enjoy......
Best Regards

Don't know if you still need the info, but I've just worked out TWRP. I've been rooted for ages but never saw your post; it's only because I decided to try TWRP again that I found you in a Google search.
TWRP that works on the J320ZN is for j3lte. To download: https://dl.twrp.me/j3lte/
Others have had issues installing SuperSU.zip in TWRP.... as did I. The only way to get root that would work is CF-Auto-Root..... because usually SuperSU.zip would then cause a bootloop. BUT of course, what I didn't realize at the time, was CF-Auto-Root once installed reflashed stock recovery! But what it DID enable me to work out (once it clicked in my head that this was going to be the issue and after I'd nearly set up my phone again) was that I was getting a dm-verity error.... something I know nothing about other than it's a new thing I have to do on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. So MAYBE SuperSU wasn't installing because of that? Who knows.
Anyway, now I'm fully working with TWRP and root and it's sticking with no problems.
So install TWRP the usual way....(I used twrp-3.2.1-0-j3lte.img from the link above). If you need help with this quote me and ask, or look for a TWRP tutorial on j3lte (I know the J320YZ uses this TWRP and has a tutorial on how to install TWRP with Odin).
Then install the latest SuperSU.zip:
https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip through TWRP "Install" method.... it must be on your external SD card. Go to the "Install" button on TWRP menu, select storage to extSD and then find SuperSU.zip.
THEN I had to install the Dm-verity and Forced Encryption Disabler through TWRP "Install" method (so this file also needs to be on your external SD card):
https://androidfilebox.com/miscellaneous/dm-verity-and-forced-encryption-disabler/
I used no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip
Then reboot, and reset up your phone.
FINALLY!
Whether you need to do the dm-verity thing I don't know... I'm FAR from an expert. This was all through trial and error but it is the only way to keep root through TWRP without CF-Auto-Root.....FOR ME PERSONALLY.
You could try just TWRP and the latest version of of SuperSU.zip through TWRP....see if that works. If you get stuck in a bootloop, then I just flashed CF-Auto-Root with Odin and it fixed that.... then start the install process again, this time adding dm-verity patch AFTER SuperSU.zip.
If you want to skip TWRP and just root your phone, then the easiest way is to flash CF-Auto-Root with Odin. File at https://download.chainfire.eu/986/CF...etrieve_file=1.

i didnt update my tablet in the recent update so i dont think i am
How would i go about checking?
EDIT: im running marshmellow
now..... i made a cf auto root file from firmware.mobi but it failed flashing..............
Edit: Unsupport dev_type
ADB
Have you tried seeing if ADB detects your device? Try ADB reboot recovery and if it says waiting for device for a long time then there must be wrong with your device. I am currently working on a flashable zip that has root so it might be root. If it is root and you get recovery working I'll post the flashable zip for you to flash.

Use the latest version of ODIN
just saying, the cf auto root u made from firmwaremobi will not work. It didn't work for me either and it soft bricked my SM-T350. To fix it, and properly root it, all u need is the cf auto root file from the old site. The version for marsmallow worked for me, even though im on android Nougat.
