If you have an XT575 and you're bootloader unlocked, you can use the TWRP backup that gokart2 made.

As far as I'm aware, you cant back flash, but I maybe wrong on this.

But I tried even Nougat beta and the same problem.

Use smartswitch and let it update your phone. It will install the latest MM stock rom

I reverted from nougat beta to stock mm. It works.
Your firmware might be broken or your odin might be of older version.
Try downloading both again from sammobile.com
It will work

Did it work for you? I am having the same problem. Odin is stuck at system.img. OEM unlock is off and so is usb debuggin i guess.

Stock firmware backup

Sorry if this is a stupid question but to do a backup of stock with stock recovery...Is it possible? Or do I have to TWRP unlock bootloader etc. Thanks

No. You need to unlock your bootloader (good advice: keep it unlocked) and install TWRP.

S5 / SM-G900F rooting question - baseband version

Hi guys, I want to root my wife's Galaxy S5 / SM-G900F running Android 6.0.1. Although I'm quite familiar with rooting android I know Samsung can be tricky - the question is: will the existing version of CF-Root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
work for all baseband versions for 6.0.1? On CF-Root download page baseband version specified is MMB29M.G900FXXU1CPD3 ---- but mine is MMB29M.G900FXXS1CPJ1?
Big thanks, Majo

I don't know but i prefer to install twrp and then flash supersu.
This is my method for 3 years

Thanks man, will do it with ODIN for TWRP flashing. But just to make sure and confirm - beside flashing SuperSU no further unlocks (like bootloader etc) is needed for Samsung S5?? I want to install custom ROM...
Thanks for reply in advance!

Need help rooting 6.0

Hey guys sorry if this has already been asked but. I just got a moto x 2015. I used the toolkit to unlock the bootloader and tried to flash twrp and root using the toolkit but it didn't work. I am wondering what I need to do to flash twrp and gain root. Thanks

Thanks, but I'm on MM and I'm trying to figure out how to go about flashing twerpan rooting. A link to the right files would be awesome. I would need the IIMG file for twrp

I don't understand the issue. There is a very clear guide on how to root here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-how-to-root-pure-style-t3503958. I was able to install TWRP and root with relative ease. The hardest part is just making sure you read for the details.

I successfully downgraded from marshmallow to lollipop and unlocked bootloader installed TWRP and rooted,then bypassed the factory reset protection so I could log in to Google on the set up screen.

Don't know why you downgraded, but glad to see you got it done.

It was easier for me to root by downgrading. If that makes any sense,which it probably doesn't lol. And thanks

Im glade I bought this phone. I was so aggravated the past few days because of the factory reset protection crap, but after I learned how to bypass it all is good now. Could anyone recommend a app or modual to use to change the navigation keys?
