Be aware that Triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500 so you can`t go back to full stock if you would like to, the counter will always be raised and the status will say custom/modified
1. Flash CF-Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615. Read the OP well
2. If you want to flash custom roms or kenels you need a custom recovery, i would take this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280457, flash with Odin.
3. Install busybox from Google Play if you want to run stock.
thanks alot ! a quick question .. if i9100 drivers are currently installed on my computer, do i have to remove them first and then install i9500 drivers ?

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 managed to get my phone rooted by following the instructions on this reply

Download my file here for samsung galaxy a800i root <<DOWNLOAD>>, and make sure you are on 5.1.1, flash it on pda using odin. make sure you enable usb debugging and oem unlock option. Dont tick auto restart, Flash it and when it is done, hold power button to restart, then see the magic and press thanks button! give feedback either it is working or not. and if you want to donate me, please press the donation button. thank you.

I've already sent him a message, nothing yet, I searched for other solutions but no luck, couldn't find anything, I guess we have to wait.

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
Download Link : androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087008615

nope as far as I know,and I'll not try it, because I'm pretty sure that it will not work and it will soft break the device because of the reasons that I mentioned before.

Well in that case, you could not flash supersu files.. All you can do is try apps like KingRoot but beware those can mess your mobile...
Try installimg TWRP again...
Here's the link for twrp image https://mega.nz/#!Rcs2TbKQ!Zo7BjVjdTPSc2H9Y5KACtCtx1b7S9TAWjO0GHINPAKk
It may work now..
Hello,
I tried to root my J5 2017 and the process crashed in the middle letting me with a nice brick.
I can still access the Download mode. Do you think that there is something that I could do to fix it? I am thinking of reinstalling the firmware.
Do you think this might do the trick?
Thanks!
