But if I use different baseband? What is going to happen?

@German Developer it booted properly, but it doesn't work okay. Super SU wants and binary update, that fails when asks to disable KNOX. Also the root checker apps say that the device root access is not properly installed.
I followed the steps correctly, Odin showed message "Passed".
Just to make sure, these is the information about the firmware, device, baseband and etc.

Should I isntall the firmware of the tutorial. And if yes, where can I find the files?

No, you don't need to install another baseband you have everything correct, but did you followed these steps? http://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo-gt-i9301i

@German Developer, yeah man. All went perfect step by step. But root was unsuccessful. The Super SU is there. I can update it with market. But the binary fails to update. Can't see any apps in the super su. Should i install stock rom and firmware again and try the same

I would recommend you to do it, but before flashing it back try your root with the on play store called "root checker" and than you can see if you have root

Super SU tries to disable KNOX, and after 2-3 minutes says it cannot remove it.
Isn't it easier just to install TWRP and custom rooted rom?

In most cases you cannot...it will fail. You can try to just put back stock recovery, but out of experience if a single file has been changed or missing the update will fail. Best option is to return to complete stock via Odin. Or wait to see if someone can pull out firmware to flash then come out with rooted ROMs.
I'm on stock, but am rooted. I cannot upgrade OTA. It says, "System has been tampered."
Do I have to use Kies to update?
SOLVED:
1) DOWNLOAD WANAM XPOSED
2) OPEN WANAM XPOSED
3) GO TO SECURITY HACKS
4) UNDER THE SYSTEM MENU CHECK ALL 3 BOXES
5) RESTART YOUR PHONE
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET OTA! WOO HOO!

Make sure wanam is enabled in the xposed installer modules. If you don't have xposed installer you will need to get that as well.
Go to the samsung note 4 forum choose snapdragon theres a flashable debloater y can flash in recovery

i cant update my device coz the system detects that my device has been rooted though i already unroot it in the SuperSU app as stated on the One Click root thread.
Flashed with flash tool over 20h on a phone from VDF Romania. All went well, nothing spectacular to report works and seems as snappy (or choppy) as 20H was. Needs some settling in to decide but guess there are improvements (or slowdowns) somewhere there deep in the code.
hi can someone confirm the baseband version on their about .
i just flashed the modem only and i want to confirm it went ok.
many thanks
so whats new ? any news for when we will get the 5.1 SW -_-

You do not need root to install with KDZ files numerous guides to do it on the forums with a quick search.
the most important change is voLTE support, at least here in italy

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?

SAMSUNG GALAXY J3 SM-J320FN. How to root this device?

Hi!
I have got Samsung Galaxy J3 SM-J320FN and i want to root this device. Kingoroot,Towelroot didn't work. Can you help me? Pls
Anyone have any info for this, I too am looking to root this device and can't find anything.
Hello!
I have a solution. Try it: http://www.needrom.com/download/root-for-galax-j36-sm-j320fn/
confused by your post
hi,
how does one add to the root file the img file? every time i have tried is says i need to be rooted… which i am not? can you advise the step by step to add the img file without root access to the root folder? maybe the file manager apk you used that we can also download and install and use?
The root folder just means the first part of your storage. I.e not in any folder.

I'll put up a link for the files needed . Recovery is for the j320f but it's working on mine no problem and I'm on j320fn. You have to flash recovery via odin and change language when you load it up because I think it's in Russian but not sure . I found all this on a website but can't remember where to now but anyway here you go for TWRP http://mega.nz/#!tBORFSBI

All good - The phone is now rooted and SuperSU installed (I haven't tried the Xposed installer yet, but will do tomorrow as off to bed now.
Many thanks for the advise & links... I'm sure there's a lot of people that it will help!
For anyone else wanting to try this, the basic info is broken down below:
Basically, download TWRP & SuperSU from these links & flash using Odin:
TWRP*http://www.mediafire.com/download/bl...-J320F.tar.tar
root file*http://www.mediafire.com/download/cp...0630161323.zip
The TWRP will be in Russian, but if you click on the right-hand side grey box then you can change to English.
First thing to do is run a Nandroid back-up and once completed copy the SuperSU file to the phone/Ext SD card and flash this (I flashed it twice, as the first attempt just made the phone constantty reboot after the logo.
Next you can flash thexPosed Lollipop 5.11 from here :* the framework for xposed lollipop 5.1.1*http://www.mediafire.com/download/hx...m-20151217.zip

G900F Root Problem

Hello guys! I've followed the simple root tutorial found on XDA and i've managed to root my S5 with no problem (i don't have any knowledge about this stuff cause i am a newbie,sorry...). After that ,i've successfully flashed TWRP Recovery and tried several ROM's but every one of them failed (bootloop on RR, corrupted zip on Note 7 ROM etc),anyway,it was late and the next day i needed my phone so i installed the Official Stock S5 ROM (6.0.1) found on XDA also (flashed with Odin). The problem is, i can't root it anymore. When i try to do the exact same thing i did with auto-root and Odin everything works except SuperSU ("There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it"). I've tried everything! And when i say everything , i mean it. Even KingRoot, wipping everything, trying to root again, the advices found on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/su-binary-installed-supersu-install-t1928764 and nothing works..if anyone can point me some directions , give some advices, i would be very happy! Thank you guys! I'm willing to try anything.

i think your firmware is too new. might want to find the oldest one on the same android version, flash it in Odin and go from there
