Many Malware were installed by these apps. Not a good solution to root my S3! The Steps are useful, but the apps are high secure risks.

(ROOT) (CUSTOM RECOVERY) FOR MOTO G 1st GEN

Hello, guys this is my first post but i am quite sure that my methods work.If there any problems then u can surely ask in the section below. This thread will be a GUIDE TO ROOT AND INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR MOTO G 1st Gen users.
Some prerequisites are:
1. Motorola drives (https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481)
2.Fastboot and recovery files (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9jf2va51ffg0pzq/AAAxDT-ETf7AESIcHGnfEgv7a?dl=0)
[ Let these files be downloaded and kept in Cdrive of ur pc and and place them on the desktop.. Please name this folder MOTO FILES]
3. SuperSu files https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ and[/url] paste it in ur phones internal memory and please do this after unlocking the bootloader cause bootloader unlocking will delete everything so its better to do it after unlocking bootloader
Download these files and ur done... Now lets continue to the fun part
This process involves three very simple steps :
1. Unlocking the Bootloader:-
This process is infact very easy to do. There are several guides on the internet regarding this process but the one that i suggest is by High On Android/ Max Lee . Follow his method and u can very easily unlock ur bootlader. Copy this url and see it for urself fellow guys...http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-motorola-android-smartphone
2. Erasing ur previous recovery and installing a new one and rooting ur phone all in one process
Some users have been reporting that even after installing custom recovery , whenever they go into recovery they enter into stock recovery. The actual problem is that the stock rom of the Moto G rewrites over the new custom recovery installed.
So we have to install the recovery actually twice but it only takes a few minutes
i) Firstly be sure to have lots of juice in your phone
ii) Boot ur phone into the bootloader by power offing ur device and then pressing the volume down and power button together for 10 seconds and then leaving both of them together.
iii) Now connect ur device to ur pc/laptop
iv) Now open a cmd and enter the following commands(press enter after every command)
- cd Desktop
-cd MOTO FILES
-fastboot flash recovery Recovery2.img
-fastboot reboot-bootloader
[MAKE SURE NOT TO REBOOT UR DEVICE ]
v) Now ur phone has custom recovery installed in it and u shud now enter into recovery mode by choosing the option from the bootloader, by pressing volume down and then volume up while in bootloader mode.
vi) This will open the Philz recovery that i have provided with. I prefer the philz recovery over the cwm one. Now go on and install the SuperSu update zip file. And BOOM ur Device is now rooted !!!!.
vii) Now reboot ur phone and u must install
-ROOT CHECKER (to check root)
- and most importantly ROOT EXPLORER
viii) After following step (vii), now if u try to go into recovery, u will be booted to stock recovery. So to prevent that use the ROOT EXPLORER app and go to the root \system\etc and delete the file named install-recovery.sh .
ix) After deleting the file u will once again have to follow step (iv) and install custom recovery this will ensure u having custom recovery even after rebooting ur device and u will have ROOT access as well

On which android version , were you on before rooting . 5.01 or 5.1 .

This method works for both 5.1 and 5.01

Remember: In some marshmallow ROMs (e. g. CM 13 and CyanPop) flashing SuperSU causes some trouble!

if u want to install twrp recovery and u have its file then i will suggest u to use my method that i have given above and instead writing the command
fastboot flash recovery Recovery2.img u can change it to fastboot flash recovery [name of the recovery file, dont forget the .img at the end]. Thats all u have to do. I saw that video prior to installing custom recovery in my phone too and noticed that his link was broken thats how i figured out my method of installing custom recovery. Its very easy. just follow the steps. :good::good::good:

I will recheck that super su. file and make sure its perfect... Thanks for the response:good:

Once i finished steps all, When i open SuperSU, popup window says, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install in it. This is the Problem!
If you just upgraded to android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!
Plz help me on this....
if i check with root checker,
Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device

Works but could be simplified
Thanks for this useful post. I've just followed the instructions to root my XT1032 Stock Lollipop 5.1, and they work. However, I have a few comments:
[1] I had already installed Motorola Device Manager on my (Windows 7) PC, plus 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot'. This was sufficient – I didn't need to download the files in your prerequisite 2.
[2] You can use any compatible recovery image. I prefer TWRP, so downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img.
[3] The SuperSu zip file you've linked to is out of date. The current one is version 2.46 (for Lollipop).
[4] After flashing SuperSu it's advisable to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache.
[5] Root Checker showed that BusyBox wasn't installed, so I downloaded Stephen Erickson's BusyBox installer from the Play Store. This is an essential step, as most programs requiring root won't work without BusyBox. Perhaps it could be added to the OP?
[6] You don't need to use Root Explorer – any root-compatible file manager will do. I prefer Total Commander.
[7] Having deleted (or in my case renamed) install-recovery.sh and then rebooted, I didn't need to go back to step iv and reinstall the custom recovery; in my case TWRP was still there. I think your step ix is unnecessary; at least it's worth checking which recovery you have.
I hope these points are useful and not too nit-picking!

Reinstallation of custom recovery is not must its just for safety precautions and I have finally updated the SuperSu link. As far as Busybox u will have to install it customly only.

Can't root galaxy note 4 sm-n910c

Hi guys! I can't root my SM-N910C. I followed Max Lee's steps in youtube via TWRP and I was able to do all the steps properly. But once I'm about to do the step wherein I will flash the kernel and I'll go to recovery mode it doesn't give the TEAM WIN screen. Instead, it'll say "Installing System Update" then will go to "No command" screen " then will give me the regular recovery mode. what shall I do? I've done the steps like 3 times now. and everytime I checked the software update in the about device it keeps telling me that there's an availble update for like 66.3mb.However, I've installed it so many times. it's not stopping. what shall I do to root my phone? please help me!

It works fine with CF-Root for N910C for me.

CF-Root explanation

Click to collapse
CF-Root / CF-Autoroot is a flashable file created by the renowed developer Chainfire.
Once flashed into your phone it installs the root-manager app "SuperSU" (also from Chainfire) and does a few other mods for you to get root access.
It is important that your flash exactly the CF-Root file version corresponding to your phone model (SM-N910C) and Android version . For example, if you are using Android 6.0.1, you can get the file here:
https://download.chainfire.eu/559/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip
In case you cannot find the CF-Root file ready for installation for your phone model AND your Android version, then you can generate one by yourself in the main webpage, here:
https://desktop.firmware.mobi/
Please note in this last page you can create different "types" of file, and if you flash other that the "systemless" type you will lose your phones warranty.
Good luck !

Shared the ROOT file for "J7 Prime G610F Nougat 7.0"

Hi everyone,
He shared the ROOT file for "J7 Prime g610f Nougat 7.0". He also took video at the Youtube.
The description and download link on the website; http://www.flashfilebd.com/2017/09/sm-g610f-nougat-7-root-file-free.html?m=1
Note: I have not tried it yet. Because I do not have a computer right now and OTG cable... I will try it in the morning. If there are those who try, please write here.

From the looks of the video, he installed TWRP which is necessary and he flashed one of Chainfire's SuperSU zip's.
Looks pretty simple even though I recommend flash Magisk instead.

I got some sort of verification error on y G610M and had to reinstall the factory ROM. No good on mine.

You need to Format Data before install Magisk
I got same error first time and it was fixed by Format Data
after installing Magisk when I restart my phone it doesn't start keep restarting then take me to recovery I have to clear cache every time I restart my phone else it doesn't start, and this problem was fixed by clearing Repo Cache from Magisk App settings.
Now its working without any problem
In case you want to try it, I used this TWRP recovery and Magisk v14.0

Samsung A3 (2015) SM-A300FU Tried to root with Odin, failed -> Phone will not boot

I had connectivity issues with the Samsung A3 (2015) SM-A300FU I bought from a friend so I decided to flash a Custom ROM to see if the problem persists.
I flashed my Sony Xperia U Kumquat some years ago so I am not completely new to the topic.
I decided which ROM to use (LineAgeOS14.1) and went ahead and try to root my phone.
I found this page: https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a3-sm-a300fu
via google and followed the instructions. After I followed them my Phone did not boot (stuck at the Samsung Galaxy A3 screen).
I read afterwards in the warnings that I should have only used these instructions with Android 4.4.
I tried flashing my device with a CF-Auto-Root from https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ which did not work.
Then I downloaded the recovery.img and boot.img from the firmware.mobi site converted them to odin flashable files with the script from this forum, which did not help the problem.
So I went to write this post but saw in the "Similar Threads" part a link to this post: "Is there a CF Root for Samsung A3 SM-A300FU ?"
Reading that thread brought me to this one: [RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.0.2-1]Samsung Galaxy A3(2015) SM-A300F/FU/G/H/M
I was able to boot into Team Win Recovery Project but I am unsure where to go from here.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Quick Update before I got to leave for a few hours: I managed to follow the rest of the instructions in: [RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.0.2-1]Samsung Galaxy A3(2015) SM-A300F/FU/G/H/M
And after a long wait my phone booted. It even has the SuperSU App installed, but when I try to start it, a message pops up telling me
There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums to your device!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am unsure as to what exactly I should be doing here. I am on Android Version 6.0.1 IF you need any further information to help I will gladly provide it.

I found a SuperSU zip that worked: BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328
After installing that I had root access and could install LineageOS and Gapps which solved my W-Lan Problem.
