I'm using their latest firmware and update. Is it possible to root? I just want to change the resolution of the screen -- everything is so damn huge.
Install a launcher. Also reduce text size.

An easy way to root would be to install TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP. This will also trip the knox counter and change it from 0x0 to 0x1. This is not an issue unless you still have warranty on the phone.
I also recommend updating to the latest doh1 ROM before installing TWRP.

So you have successfully flashed N900W8VLU2DOH1 firmware and rooted it with the latest, which is for 5.0, cf-auto-root from chainfire.eu?
Nope, I used supersu.zip which was from from TWRP.
I've posted my solutions here

Hi:
I have flashed a ROM stock 4 files and file. Pit by Odin, and leave it as factory. I did not root. After I installed CWM recovery for Odin and then Philz Recovery. Finally I flashed the latest nightly for recovery of CM. I checked after it was root. I Do not flash CF-root or anything.
What did root? CWM, phliZ or CM ROM?
Nowhere clarify this, and you would not need CF-root or Saferoot to flash Cyanogenmod.
Thanks in advance, forgive my English.
Any custom rom is rooted.

Are you sure?
Many guides explained previously cyanogenmod must install a custom recovery and rooting.
Does this mean you do not need to root?
Another question on this ...
I don't have Knox on my phone, but if I did, if I flash CM integrated with root, it would go up to 0x1?
I don't think you need root to flash. You can just flash a recovery and then flash the rom you want.
ok, thanks, but goes up knox to 0x1 if flash CM as asked in post # 3.
Custom roms never include a bootloader. So no, you don't get knox from installing custom roms.
That I know, but I did not ask what you answer.
My question is if I flash CM in particular the "KNOX WARRANTY VOID" is 0x1.
Thanks anyway.
Philz recovery has root access and allowed you to flash cm, which has root access too by default

All "custom recovery" have root access, but that doesn't mean that root the operating system . TCWM and TWRP flash CM too.
On the question of knox, anyone know?

Yes, knox will be 0x1. It will be set to 0x1 when you flash the custom recovery.

Hi,
When towelroot came out I installed it on my note 3 so I could get root without tripping knox. Last night I installed safestrap to get a custom rom without tripping knox, but when I installed alliance rom on rom slot 1 it somehow also installed the TWRP recovery and tripped knox. So now that my warranty is void anyway I was thinking about
installing another rom, just the normal way.
My question is if I should I unroot my phone first and root it the root de la vega method or can I just install whatever rom or recovery I want with my current settings/configuration? Also when I boot my phone into download mode I still get the custom OS warning, I don't know if that's a problem or should I press continue there?

Since you have tripped knox, no worry anymore on warranty. If you plan to flash new rom, you are always advised to have clean installation, meant to clean everything, else you will experience unnecessary problem. To backup your current setting, download titanium backup to make your apps and setting backup. You need to spend some time to familiarize with TB. It is very handy to help u restore previous rom settings and apps.
You do not need to unroot your current rom.

@Marcel94 :
I have never use safestrap anyway... so I have no idea how it works actually.
But... a clean installation will be good.
Grab latest firmware nd flash through odin, and go to recovery stock and do factory reset.
Then root with cf-autoroot, flash cwm/twrp.
Then flash ur rom.

Thanks for the advise guys! What do you mean with "go to recovery stock"? Will my recovery be stock again if I flash the latest firmware through odin? Nevermind, I already flashed the stock rom and got stock recovery, thanks!
Hi to everyone, I have a galaxy A5(2016) A510F and I want to root it but this will trip knox so I want to ask if we root a stock rom and flash it via odin does this detect root and trip knox ? (we will modify the system.img that we find in.tar file)
It probably won't trigger KNOX, but root access would be unstable, at best. Try using KingRoot instead - if it works on your device, it will root it and keep the KNOX counter the same, and if it doesn't, it'll just tell you that it can't root your phone.
I don't want try it because my phone it's new so can someone try it and post the result ? Maybe someone that have already trigger knox, this don't want to be a problem for him/her
EDIT: I think Kingroot don't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...ment/galaxy-a5-2016-success-kingroot-t3400564

I tried king root, but after reebooting my phone was unrooted. I suggest you to flash cf autoroot because, yes, it trips knox counter, but If u soft-brick your device in any way, you can always solve it using odin and flashing stock firmware/PIT...
They are two different things, maybe you are confused because it doesn't mean that if you flash cf autoroot and soft-brick your devices you can unbrick it just flashing stock rom, yes this is true but you can unbrick you phone in anytime without having cf autoroot!
I didn't mean that, i know odin doesn't request root permission, I said that if he flashes cf autoroot and he soft-bricks his device ( I know it's almost impossible ) he will resolve the problem by flashing stock formware (or a custom ROM after wiped cache, dalvik, data and system)
Unfortunately not possible to pre-root a stock Samsung 5.1.1 or 6.0 rom and preserve knox. It will boot loop your device. Selinux will block root and prevent the device from booting unless the boot.img is patched to remove the selinux root restriction.
However patching the boot.img trips knox, catch 22 situation.
Keep hoping for kingroot or Kingoroot if you want to preserve the knox counter.
Thanks for the reply
Can anyone try this http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutorials/how-to-root-all-samsung-galaxy-smartphones-without-pc.html ? I don't want to trip my knox!
If it works it wont trip knox as it doesn't touch the binaries.
Unfortunatelly, I can't try because i've already tripped the knox
Morning everyone,
I have searched and searched, is it possible to root these A3's as yet?
I bought this s a replacement for my son as he broke his s5 mini sitting on it lol.
Best wishes
If tripping KNOX is not a worry, you can flash TWRP, and flash the SuperSU package. (Optionally, you can flash back the stock recovery, and retain the root.)
There is no solution without tripping KNOX yet, CF-AutoRoot has not been updated for A300FU Marshmallow yet.

Hi,
I tried downgrading to lollipop without success, as it would stay on samsung logo.
So i had to use smart switch to re-install marshmellow.
Tripping knox is no issue, Therefore as supersu not been updated it would leave me with only option to go back to lollipop?
If so, is there a tut i could follow as doing usal way with odin etc did simply not work.
The A3 is on 02 network
Best wishes
Go for the 4 file package then, it is the only thing that keeps saving peoples phones around here.
Use SamFirm for to download them (make sure you tick binary update)
[Sorted out] I did not root, however my s7 edge does not allow me to use s health claiming root after reinstalat stock via odin. Any solution for that?
Did you trip the Knox counter? If you did, there's no way back
The knox was changed, but I wonder how could that be that it was a stock rom?

Did you install TWRP or made any changes in the bootloader.
Once the boot loader has been modified in any way. \it will trip knox.
No. I just reinstalled stock via odin, there was no twrp installation.

why did you have reinstall stock /
if you have reinstall stock that means something was done to your phone, which caused your phone to think knox is tripped.
So what happened that you ned to reflash your phone ?
System crashes with crashes
Are you the original owner of this phone?
If you try to root it or install anything non-Samsung, it will trip knox and there is no turning back.
Flashing Samsung ROMs via Odin won't trip knox....
I'm his first owner. I saw in a post that it is possible to continue using s health if dowgrade to marshmallow and then upgrade via OTA to 7.0. Do you know if it's possible?

I think you just have to add or modify a line in system/build.prop and it will work. For that, you have to be rooted.
Take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306
Sorted out. I was able to reuse the app by going back to 6.0 via odin, configuring the app and upgrading via OTA to 7.0
