FWIW... I purchased my phone on June 19, and was able to root it the next day using CF-Auto-Root by exactly following the directions in chainfire's thread. (It did trip Knox, but that wasn't a concern for me.)
Today I successfully installed Philz Recovery version 6.58.9 via Odin 3.07, exactly following the directions in this post from the main philz thread, and it worked fine.
There were a few mis-steps in the process where the root or recovery didn't "take" properly, but in each case it turned out I'd done something wrong in Odin - used the wrong file or left a box checked/unchecked.
Phone specs:
SM-G900W8 on Rogers
Build number LRX2IT.G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version 3.4.0-4100894
Android version 5.0 stock (no upgrades applied before applying root or recovery)
So there may be hope for you?

Aw man, I'm so sorry. There goes the hopes I had for all the similar threads/posts with 900F devices.
However, it's quite rare to see the community here fail altogether. Give it some time - there'll be a solution soon!

Samsung Core LTE Prime G361F Root?

Build is: G361FFXXU1AOF9
Cant find a way to root this damn thing

Still need help with it

Did you get this device rooted yet? I bought one of these today and it looks like I'm going to have to manually root it unless somebody can step in?

KingoRoot
KingoRoot and Kingroot both worked for me :fingers-crossed:

Both of these are known to fail against this device, although I attempted to root with these to no effect.
Looks like the only sane way to root this device currently is via the pre-rooted option with Odin.

[PJ2] Rooting and/or downgrading help?

I have the latest firmware (G930PVPS4APJ2) but I want to root my phone. Is there anyway to root on this firmware/bootloader? Or are there instructions to downgrade?

On the latest firmware the easiest thing I've found is to flash Echoe. When I rooted apj2 I couldn't get my data sms working even having my msl all the Apns I set wouldn't stick

So when you flashed the rom did everything work then? And was you rooted running Echoe rom on pj2?

Well there isn't a stable root for PJ2 I did a guide on rooting that you might want to check out. I explain how to get back to PE1 before rooting, and in the method it shows how to get data and sms back easily.

I didn't think you could get back to PE1 from PJ2 just by flashing the PE1 firmware. I also did not see where you explained how to get Voice and SMS back (possibly not needed if you are coming from PE1). Is this info included in the download (dropbox is preventing download because you're soo popular ) or does the XTether mod fix this issue?
I have heard that flashing the Echoe Rom from PE1 fixes most issues.

Yes you can start on PJ2 Firmware, however before you start rooting process you have to be on PE1. My guide includes how to get back down to PE1 before you start rooting. You can use Odin and the firmware included to flash you Samsung completely back to PE1. The only reason you can't use PJ2 is because it has updated PRL's and they wont allow you to reactivate your service, therefore to reactivate your phone service you have to be on PE1 Firmware using the older PRL's.
I do not know anything about a pit file, I have done this process many times with no problem. The reason I've done it so many times is to test out its success rate, and every time I've done it, the method gets easier to do, and it works 100% of the time.

As it says in the post, I did not create this method, I simply make it easier to follow. How to get sms and calling back is in the link reference under the subtitle "4.Rooting:". He shows how to root the device and then get everything working. He just doesn't explain the setup,how to install Xposed, and he does not show how to get back to PE1 so that's what I've done with my post, is just make it easier to follow.
SIDE NOTE: Service and sms is very easy to get back on PE1 I tried many times to do it on PJ2 using different methods, the PRL just wouldn't allow me to activate my device.

When I tried this method it said pit fail immediately in Odin. I tried adding the pit file but it still failed

just tried it too. Same result. execept i didn't try with a PIT. think you could provide it for me? @vegoja

Hmm. Ok. Can you tell me your variant of Samsung Galaxy S7. Like what service provider, Snapdragon or Exynos?
and did you use the files directly from my drop box link?
Did you run Odin as admin?
Does the Odin exe file say "Odin PrinceComsy.exe" and you also have to "Odin3.ini" config settings?
Maybe this post will help.

I'm not really sure what causes that to happen with your phone. What did you do after you rooted your phone? Did you modify/touch the system? You maybe accidentally deleted some important files in your system. If you like, you can go back to marshmallow and use Cf auto root to root your phone, here's the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/815/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-j5nlte-j5nltexx-smj500fn.zip
Just flash it with odin.

Yes i modify system, i install stock ROM before via odin (if i good remember). I try this cf auto root thx

That must be the problem, do not modify the system if your'e not sure about it. Inform me if you successfully rooted your device with cf auto root.

you can root "automaticaly" with KingoRoot using the pc, just make a search on Google, download, install and then root your phone
this is the most easy and simlpe way!(without "broke" something) to root the LLP stok rom
also you can use this guide to root

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/galaxy-j5-qa-thread-galaxy-j5-series-t3382922
along with that threads you can get stok roms already rooted to install, LLP or MM
Good luk!
PS. dont forget to do a "search" for them
most of them was writed just for spread the ink and loose the time, nobody read it!

Kingo root was a first program that i check but on marshmallow dont work, i dont try it on lolipop. But now i have again marshmallow then i try cf auto root at first.

God dude, look, just type on youtube how to root Galaxy j5 marshmallow, video is by Techno Geniune or something like that, follow instructions carefully, and that is it, nothing hard. And don't say that rooting using twrp caused problems for you, it didn't cause any problems to anyone out there, it is just i think that you are lazy and want to root using an app...
Edit: if you are on lollipop, just type how to root galaxy j5 lollipop...

Hmm, interesting you say that im too lazy to root my phone manually, and you say that i dont use youtube tutorial by Thechno Geniune, and at last you say that twrp dont broke anything for anyone. Weird because i use 4 files with twrp, and i watch mentioned by you tutorial and i was forced to 4 time installing ROM. Then i propose at first get knowledge about someone problem and then write that someone is lazy.

I also searched weeks and i have it . a simple fast root for our sm930P Sprint and other versions S7 on a locked bootloader . i have done two S7s one on ra1 and the other on BD2 a 5 and 6 . it rooted the first time on both and the speps are simple . no bootlooping apps to install no confusion .simple install.. it runs very very fast and i see no difference from a stock nugget phone other than samsung pay and a few samsung apps dont like root. it even has an over cloke if you want. Flash at your own risk but now i have my titanium backup and other root apps running flawless . on TING . simple two steps involved and no bootloops . i used the system root option and did not wipe data and used the leave safestrap on it or no safestrap installed option . the rest is EASY PEASY https://www.androidsage.com/2017/03...gat-firmware-usa-att-t-mobile-verizon-sprint/
