This phone came out recently in Canada, are there any ways to root the a500w version yet?

I just bought one and it's disappointing to know there isn't any root solutions. Fido adds tons of bloatware.
I'm sure someone is going to release a method at some point, though. In the meantime do other models images work?
Here!
SM-A500W
I just bought Samsung Galaxy A5, Model SM-A500W.
I am disappointed to notice it doesn't have root option.
did you try Kingroot?

Recently released? It's been out since Nov 2014.
For root just install twrp then flash supersu v2.65.

to root this phone all it takes is the installation of Twerp + su 2.65?

hi. .
unless I missed something, I wasn't rooted after successfully flashing and rebooting with Twerp 3.0.0. I had to use the kingroot Apk.
I am now rooted, but supersu 2.65 won'f Install . . .
I'd then use Super Su Me (from Play store) to remove King Root (too many permisions for my liking) and instal Super SU - it is a paid for app, but worth it.

You can try Towelroot but if that doesn't work there is a CF-Auto-Root solution for that model
Here is a thread I made that has links and info for all known root methods

Which root method did you use?
In any case none of these root methods are my work, I'd recommend checking in the threads linked for your particular root method.

As most of the users dont like the russian method of rooting on 5.1.1 due to the unknown kernel source and others dont trust it i dont know why :v
Dj_steve made his own kernel that works with Su just like the russian one
Kernel link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-tweaked-kernel-5-1-1-tw-t3266618
Recovery link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/recovery-qualcomm-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3245256
And finally Su link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwuSX5zRNLjtTVhzd3J2YXgwaTQ/view?usp=docslist_api
Installation :
Flash the recovery with odin
Flash the kernel with the recovery
Flash the Su.zip with the custom recovery
All done
Now you're rooted
Thanx for Dj_steve for making the kernel
thanx for jackeagle for making the recovery
Thanx for chanfaire for making Su
and finally thanx to blue cat from 4pda for his kernel that explained that we have to disable some sammy security stuff in order to obtain root access
Have a nice day
sasukesama said:
The latest version of kingroot is fully working without issue and without the need of installing a custom kernel like the Russian method which most of you dont trust it i dont know why : v
No pc required
just downloaded the apk from kingroot site and fire it up

It's not working
Ok i think i know the problem
I've completely forgot that ive removed knox from my rom so i think its the key
so i want you guys to test this:
Install the alpha twrp from rvr because jackeagle recovery wont loads aroma
Use the cleaner in my "smooth your tw " thread to remove knox without the need of rooting
Now restart your device and try to root it with kingroot
Please test and report so i can update the post if it works

Root problems remains
Having a bit of a problem with rooting G800H/DS. I have used either the Russian or Indian 5.1.1, and rooted with the Russian or DJ_steve's kernel + recovery + SU. Removed Knox with Titanium Backup. Everything works fine for a day or two, but then suddenly when rebooting the phone gets stuck in a reboot cycle. Anybody else having the same problem, or hopefully a solution?

There are multiple threads right here in the forums that offer step to step instructions for rooting your model of grand prime. Use the search function and you'll find them.
Root is similar to having administrator rights on your computer, it allows deeper levels of modification than is available on an unrooted device. There are apps available that will allow you to transfer your apps to SD card also, however most, if not all require root.

You will have to unroot your device before updating, you may then be unable to root again for some time until a new method is found.
However there are custom ROMs available for you device amongst other things.

Well, if you have TWRP you can just flash SuperSU flashable zip[ a guaranteed successful root with a very easy way plus if you have phone with marshmallow and above kingroot won't able to root because of new anti-root protection added so normal/kingroot won't work]
The best way to root G530H is flashing this by odin. Link here. http://d-h.st/oqFc. After flashing it flash any recovery by odin.

Yes Gapps Can Be Installed with flashfire. Just install flashfire, then allow it root access.
Now click + sign and click again "Flash zip file"
now do nothing just click ok and flash it.
Your phone will be restart and run flashfire in boot, it will install gapps. after restart your phone gapps will be there.
