I've searched and tried too many methods none of them worked.
I even broke my device (soft break) while I was trying to do a root using a method for SM-A800F model, and I had a really bad day.
I couldn't restore my device using stock rom it failed on writing boot.img step (using odin).
I had to extract boot.img from the stock firmware (using winrar) then creating a new boot.tar using this tool tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad to fix the problem.
I've tried too many "one click root apps" for both PC and Android (king root, Frama, mobogenie, root genius, rootx, few more) also none of them worked.
any help would be great
Thanks
SOLVED

I've got this response from RVR, But I'm not convinced that this solution will work, because the recovery is not for this device.
it's for Samsung Galaxy Alpha which has 5.0.2 android version, mine is 5.1.1.
I think he just opened androidfilehost forum and searched for A8 and got a file for wrong device:
androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=A8
Here's the link ..
Select in the AP tab of odin
Uncheck the auto reboot button
flash
reboot straight into recovery
Try flashing the SuperSU zip .. : download.chainfire.eu/SuperSU
Keep Stock firmware handy to flash in case the zip flash fails

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Thanks bro, finally there is custom recovery for our devices.
I got questions though:
1. Woluld they work on A300-fu?
2. Would they work kitkat?
Also, it would be helpful for A3 users if somebody could share those mods and deodex from that website to XDA since I couldn't understand how they to make them work.
Hi all! I've made a TWRP recovery for GALAXY A3! I can't test it because I don't have an A3 but if you test please tell me if it's work
This recovery is probably working on all A300x variants, flash it using Flashify.
It's made for LL (Lollipop) but you can try on KitKat

This worked for me as well. After the flash there were about 4 OTA updates to install. I had to set the region before they would install (mine did an update rebooted after I set the region) :
3. Go to the lenovo contacts manager. Create a dummy contact if the list is empty.
4. Go to Search / Find Contacts and enter ####6020#. It will ask you to select country code (first two latin letters, ignore Chinese).

HI to all,
I have this problem with rooting my galaxy a7 running marshmallow 6.0.1 using Odin, precisely with cf-auto-root file.
Before some of you tell me standard tips, i already have done rooting process while it was running lollipop, so i know the procedure.
I downloaded the correct cf-auto-root file from chainfire website, but every time I tried to root with that file, it shows me the error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing", freezing my phone at Samsung Galaxy A7 logo. What's more illogical, when i add the old cf-auto-root file for lollipop, then it turns on the phone normally, even it is applied official marshmallow update(my device status: Official). So, if you can help me with this, i want to root it, mostly due bloatware and battery problems. Thanks

Hello, good sirs, I would just like to ask on how do you do this? I'm quite new with this way of rooting, and a step-by-step process can be nice. If not, can you refer me to a website that has?
I tried rooting my phone using the CF-Root mode, but got soft-bricked too.
Hi there ppl,
After try to root, my A700F is looping with the "Seandroid Enforcing" error...! It went all OK at ODIN... Can't understand why this happened..!

Thanks in advance.
