Hi all,
I was asked to start my own thread, so here goes.
I have a S7 edge. I rooted it and also removed quite many apps with the de-bloat script posted in another thread.
So now I have the issue that i removed too much. There are two apps that I still want to use (which require NFC and the Heartrate sensor, which are also disabled since the script).
On top of that, Samsung has released an update.
So what do I need to do to get back to a) stock and b) without loosing any data.
I already downloaded the latest firmware for my phone, it includes all the files (AP, Bootloader, CSC, ...).
Thanks.
Just flash the /system (inside AP) partition with flashfire APP and you are ready to go
Well this worked pretty great. Thanks a lot!

In this thread you can find the latest firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065/page160
You can also flash with Odin. But with Odin you will loose root as this is original firmware. Just download, copy to your phone and follow the steps, if you are rooted flashfire will work fine
Note : in case you flash the hole firmware be carefull with the csc, You have the instructions on the same thread

Yes downloaded from cwm official website. I saw that it is really simple but are you sure that the recovery.img need to be placed in the bat folder and not in the bin folder?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9070 con Tapatalk 2
yes im sure. please take a snapshot of your problem...
Couldn't you make it convert the .img into a signed stock recovery flashable zip?
you can download any recovery for your phone that is flash able in cwm. and just open it up with 7zip or winrar and replace the recovery.img file with yours, rename it ofc

No no, I want the recovery.img to become a flashable zip from stock recovery.
shokran
@panda00 no thats simply not possible without samsung's sign signature on that update zip file, and im sure they wont do that, that happens only in rare cases
as in only twice. i think once with the vibrant and once with the captivate

It's been done for all kernels of i9070... They're all flashable through stock recovery, also the root method for i9070 is also a stock recovery flashable zip.
thats becouse its a insecure, witch is different because you would have to flash that in odin, witch just makes no point to this conversation, why just not flash recovery in odin
1 flash? 2 flash?

Any solution?
Hello,
I want to ask if it's possible to just update the firmware, not flashing new firmware which removes all of my data.
I have rooted stock firmware and want update it to the latest stock firmware using Odin because OTA doesn't work with rooted devices.
My device is SM-N900 and rooted by CF-Auto-Root.

Yes it is possible but after the OTA update you have to re-root your device.
follow the steps:
1. Install Xposed Framework (a.k.a. Xposed Installer)
2. Tap on "Framework", then do it on "Install/Update"
3. Install Wanam Xposed
4. Open Xposed Installer, tap on "Modules" and check Wanam Xposed
5. Reboot the phone
6. Open Wanam Xposed, go to "Security Hacks"
7. Check (on System) "Fake System Status"
8. Reboot again...
9. you can go back to updating OTA
Thanks for the reply but that was not what I asked for, I asked if it's possible to update the firmware using Odin and keep all of my data as it's an OTA update.
And if I follow your steps (Xposed), can I just uninstall Xposed Installer and Wanam Xposed after I finish updating the firmware?
Waiting for the answer too.
in the meanwhile you can just backup your data with My Backup Pro and then restore later.

If it worked why do you need to update via Odin .And you still can update your stock ROM via odin by downloading the latest stock rom from sammobile.com and that's it,if you worried about your data just use Titanium to backup your data.
Dont do ota updates of you are rooted 0x0!
hit 'thanks' if i helped you
SM-N9005 DBT-DMJ7 0x0
XDA Developers 4 premium app
I didn't know that I can run OTA update on root device, but it worked fine till I realized that my new updated phone said "bye-bye" to root
Superuser still there but wont start. Any ideas? is it normal to re-root again?

It worked for me just fine.
I did this and see if this will help you, but I don't think there is difference between the two steps.
First I searched for "Xposed Installer" on google play but I didn't find, instead I found "Wanam Xposed", so I installed and when I ran it it asked me to download "Xposed Installer" and I hit download and installed it, then the remain steps are the same as Dahdoul's.
Your phone has custom recovery? Or only rooted?
I try many times but it still in custom status, so cannot OTA update. My phone is N9005 from Malaysia, build MJ1, with CWM recovery.

The more advanced approach is to use Mobile Odin Pro - that way on Snapdragon version you can keep the old bootloader and automatically re-inject root and keep Knox 0x0!
In your case standard Odin might also work, latest stock firmware is generally non-wipe.

Thanks for the reply and information.
Before Beginning please note that this will trip your KNOX Counter!!!
XDA, my familly,dog,cat,bird and me are not responsible if your damage your phone. You can Brick your phone if you dont follow this steps.
I want to share with you how we can root our SM-N915FY
CF-AUTO-ROOT dont work with 915FY so dont try this.
Go to setting/security and untick Reactivation lock.
Download Chenglu recovery for 915F. (it's the same as 915FY. Same changelist just region code change)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/n915s-n9150-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-5-1-t2954960
Download SuperSu 2.14 and put it in sdcard or internal phone
http://download.chainfire.eu/578/SuperSU
Reboot manually in download mode ( vol down+home+ power)
Open Odin 3 (3.07 or 3.09) and connect your phone. Put recovery in PDA/AP and flash.
Your phone reboot after flash success.
Reboot in recovery mode (vol up+home+power) and flash SuperSU.
Reboot phone and open google play for update of SuperSU. Update binary in normal mode and reboot. Open again google play and install busybox. Install binary .
Voila,you have successuly roted your phone.
Enjoy.

Is There a way to root without Knox 0x1?
No for the moment.....
I confirm, it works!!!! Yeeeees, thanks for testing! Fine....will have now much more fun with my Edge!
I can confirm that it works.
Just a small precision it will ask if you want to root when you reboot from CWM. Dont try to find it in the option or advanced
Chainfire's website is offline / loading slowly.
Managed to grab SU earlier so attached for others that are struggling to get this file.
THanks man. But when the website is on,thanks to delete the attached files.
Chainfire dont want direct download
I am brand new to the Edge... literally just got mine a few hours ago. I've been following the XDA threads for a couple days though. My phone is the N915a varient, which has the bootloader all locked up so that root is currently impossible. I'm not sure why root for the N915FY was so hard to obtain, but was it due to the same reason?
If so, would this rooting method work for the A model? I'd just go ahead and try it, but I'm not sure what would happen if it fails....
Thanks worked on mine and not (AUTROOT)
SM-N915FY-european with CWM from Odin it has been Worked fine no problems.
n915f-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1128)
@micky387 Chainfires Autoroot is now available for SM-N915FY so no longer need to use SMN915F

you guys are posting preloaded firmwares with root. why not just put a root file online for everyone to have? i dont understand why would you specially make a preloaded firmware with root.
Also, when I extracted the Preloaded root firmware using cmd prompt, it only has one .img file called "System.img" when it should basically provide me with all img and bin files. I cant even extract root file from this firmware. its very clever but you dont have to hide the root file from public when you are actually providing us with the preloaded root firmware.
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME!!

Sorry,but you can't root Core Prime G361F yet. The only way to do it, is to use a pre-rooted stock rom.
But there are only a couple of them so far. I have tried everything, and I have read tons of threads.
We have to wait until someone figures it out.

So if I have this phone but with g361fxxu1apc2 firmware can I still flash one of these on my phone, and will it work?

So you want to root the original rom
It is easy
Flash twrp into the phone
Put supersu flashable zip in the sdcard
Flash the zip with twrp
Hello sir
Follow my steps for successful TWRP/ROOT
1.)Download and install Samsung USB Drivers
2.)Download TWRP 3.0.2.0
3.)Download Odin
4.)Download SuperSU.zip file
For download links message me or add me on facebook facebook. com/fRoD.cs
After you complete this 4 steps shutdown your phone and enter into Download Mode
Volume Down + Power + Home
Select continue by Volume Up key
Now connect phone with usb cable into pc and run Odin as administrator
Click on AP box and select the twrp.tar file you download before
Go to Options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, make sure that only F, Reset Time is checked and click start
After successfully installed TWRP , remove the battery, put it back and make sure that you go into recovery mode immediately!!! Volume Up + Power + Home
If you boot up the phone it will restore the original recovery. Thats why you need to go to recovery mode first.
First time you boot in recovery it will be shown a TWRP screen asking to allow modifications to system partition. Swipe to accept that.
Now select Install option and select SuperSU.zip file. By default it should be in Download folder, and swipe to start install
After installing click reboot and your SM-G361F will be rooted. You should have SuperSU app in the menu
Hi guys,
how do you root on this phone?
What is the file to program with Odin? Is not there a guide?
Thank you

If you have TWRP installed you can easilly remove the password by deleting the .key files and locksettings.db-- from /data/system

AFAIK you can flash TWRP directly from odin without the need of debug mode, so I'd suggest you try that.
