[Guide] Rooting G800F on Marshmallow 6.0.1 + getting Xposed framework

UPDATE 14.05.2017: Chainfire has released autoroot for Galaxy S5 Mini G800F based on firmware 6.0.1. It can be downloaded from the official CF Autoroot website (direct link to the G800F file). It is by far the easiest and fastest method for getting root access on your device without the need for TWRP.
Procedure for rooting with CF autoroot:
1. Charge your S5 Mini's battery to at least 80% and make sure you have Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC
2. Enable USB debugging on the S5 Mini
3. Download the CF autoroot file from the link above and unpack the zip archive
4. Open ODIN as administrator (right click -> Run as administrator)
5. Put the S5 Mini in download mode and connect it via USB cable to the PC
6. After ODIN recognizes the device, click "AP" and select the autoroot file
7. Click "Start" and wait for the process to finish - shouldn't take more than a few seconds
8. When the log in ODIN says "Disconnected", unplug the USB cable from the phone and wait for it to restart itself
9. Verify proper root with a tool like Root Checker
If you want to have TWRP recovery and Xposed framework, use the guide below.
This method applies only to the S5 Mini G800F variant running Android 6.0.1. Trying this on other variants may result in bricking your device. I used this procedure to get root access and Xposed working on my European S5 Mini G800F using a German (DBT) Marshmallow firmware. Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Note that this procedure voids your warranty. This guide assumes that you already have TWRP recovery or know how to flash it.
Backup everything important like contacts and photos before you begin.
Requirements for this method to work:
unrooted Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini G800F running official stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Samsung USB driver
enable USB debugging
charge your phone's battery to 100% just in case
TWRP Recovery 3.0.2 installed Official TWRP Recovery 3.1.1 is available now - check out this thread for download links
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT RECOVERY: Official TWRP now available
Procedure for getting root access:
1. Download Chainfire's SuperSU v2.78 SR5 [link] and store the zip file in the phone's internal memory or SD card.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery, navigate to the SuperSU zip and flash it, reboot after it finishes.
3. You should now see the SuperSU icon, open it and update the binary. Verify proper root with a tool like Root Checker.
Congratulations, you have successfully rooted your G800F! If you only want root - stop here, you're done.
Procedure for getting Xposed Framework:
1. After rooting your S5 Mini, download Xposed v87.1 built by wanam [link], Xposed uninstaller [link], and Xposed Installer APK [link]. Put all 3 files on the phone's internal memory or SD card.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery, navigate to the file named "xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip" and flash it.
3. After the flashing is finished, wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.
4. Using a file manager, navigate to where you put the Xposed Installer APK and install it.
5. Open it and confirm that Xposed is installed properly.

weird enough all those files where already on my pc. i just wanted to know if it would work

When you flash the SuperSU observe the log during the process, does it reboot by itself after posting this?
Code:
******************
SuperSU installer
******************
- Mounting /system, /data and rootfs
- Extracting files
- Detecting system compatibility
If it reboots after this, turn off your phone and boot into recovery, go to "Wipe" and wipe cache and dalvik. Immediately after that try to flash the SuperSU again, if successful it should post this:
Code:
******************
SuperSU installer
******************
- Mounting /system, /data and rootfs
- Extracting files
- Detecting system compatibility
- System-less mode, boot image support required
- Creating image
- Mounting image
- Creating paths
- Removing old files
- Placing files
******************
Boot image patcher
******************
and then some more lines, at the end it should say "Done!" and then give you the option to reboot. Remember if the flashing is successful you should reboot manually, if the phone reboots by itself then the flashing failed.
Note that I always recommend to start with a freshly installed firmware i.e. wipe the entire phone, flash new firmware, flash TWRP 3.0.0 and then flash SuperSU.

Thank you very much for your instant support. I'm currently traveling and I'll try your solutions once I'm back home again. Then, I'll provide an update whether it works or not.

Does this root trigger the knox counter?

Hello, had the same problem . No root after reboot.
You need to use an older twrp.
With 2.8.1.0 it all works

i did it!
it works but you gotta have twrp 3.0.2-0 and then flash the zip file.
pop ups where blocked so i just changed it from always ask to always allow.
you gotta install twrp 3.0.0-0 and then flash the twrp 3.0.2-0 .img to recovery.
after that just flash the superSU zip and your done.
hope it works for you

It seems that the culprit for the failed rooting were the different versions of TWRP you were using. I will add links to 2 versions of TWRP and a note about this in the main post.

Can someone help me? I did it like in the tutorial but it does not work. Thanks all

[Update] Remove Vendor ROM, Install Latest EUI With Update Option Stock/TWRP Recovery

The final steps to Remove "Vendor ROM" that does not have the Update Option in Settings Or Unbrick Le Max 2 or simply Update Le Max 2 to latest EUI.
NOTE: This method should address the following weird problems:
1. Le Max 2 TWRP Seeing 0MB in Internal Storage. Unable to access the ROM Storage
2. Encrypt Option Greyed Out In Settings-->Fingerprint and Security
2. Update Option missing in Settings.
3. Fingerprint Sensor not working... If it still gives trouble... Calibrate the FP Sensor in its settings. Or register the same fingerprint multiple times.
This method should work on ALL versions of Le Max 2 including X820 X829 X821
Before starting... Remove ALL USB peripherals that might interfere with the process. Use USB Ports on the PC/Laptop... DO NOT use USB Hubs... Even if the phone appears dead... Connect it Power Outlet and let it charge for an hour.
1. Download the latest Stable EUI... from LeEco Website Directly .
2. Download the FlashOne v1.9 And Service ROM From HERE.
UPDATE: FlashOne v2.0 has been released! Here's the LINK.. It is a bit more advanced and offers the ability to format User Data for a Cleaner Flash
3. Download Qualcomm Drivers
4. Put Le Max 2 in EDL (Emergency Download Mode) by pressing Volume +, Volume - and Power Button Simultaneously. For those having difficulty..... Here are few tips.
Connect the Phone to PC. If the phone is Switched/Powered On... Then Power Off the phone and Switch Back On with the Key Combinations.
OR
If the Phone is Switched Off... Then Use the Key Combination to put the phone in EDL Mode..
In either case..... the PC will make a sound of Disconnection and Reconnection of an USB peripheral. AND you will see Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 Driver Installation. To verify the same... go to Device Manager in Win 7 / Win 10 and Under Ports (Com & LPT)... you should see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX).. The XX corresponds to a particular COM Port. Remember this port.
5. Once the Le Max 2 is in Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 EDL Mode... Start the FlashOne Software.
6. Choose “Qualcomm – flash dead phone” from the drop down menu next to “Flash type”.
7. Click “Refresh button” next to “Select Device”. Here your Le Max 2 will show up but in COM Number (ComXX)
8. Browse for our Qfil/service ROM by clicking “Select File”.... You can technically select the Latest EUI ROM... But it is safer with Service ROM. DO NOT Unzip the ROM File.
9. After everything is set up under “Settings”, Press “Flash” button.
10. Installation can take anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes. Have Patience.
There are chances that the Flashing might fail. In case it does... Simply put the phone in EDL Mode again... and restart the procedure.
11. After the FlashOne confirms successful flash... Wait for 15 - 20 seconds. Then Power On the phone by pressing the Power Button for at least 60 seconds. Do Not Panic due to the long press.. Press it until the phone vibrates.
12. The Le Max 2 should be in Developer Version of EUI with an unlocked Bootloader and STOCK recovery.
13. The Developer ROM has the “Format Virtual SD card” setting in Settings Menu--> Backup/Reset--> Factory Reset.. Use the setting to get back the 50+GB
[You can also use the option Format Data in TWRP Recovery instead and the partition will 64GB correctly instead of 10 GB initially. Read ahead for the procedure]
14. Once you have a working Le Max 2... there are two directions:
Install Latest Stable EUI ROM... with Update Option
OR Install TWRP Recovery / ROOT / Custom ROM
15. a. For those who wish to install Stock ROM... Simply rename it to "update" (DO NOT Add .zip... Else the file will look like update.zip.zip) and place the update.zip file in ROOT of the phone. Thereafter Switch Off the Phone... Enter Recovery by pressing Volume + and Power Button... Choose Update System AND the other setting to Clear All Data. Your Le Max 2 should update without any error.
15. b. For those who want TWRP and ROOT:
* Download the latest TWRP (For Le Max 2) and SuperSU from their respective websites. Download and Install ADB and Fastboot From HERE.
* Copy the SuperSU Zip File to the ROOT of the Phone.
* Unzip and Rename the TWRP recovery to Recovery (The file should be Recovery.img.... NOT Recovery.img.img)
* Put the Le Max 2 into Fastboot Mode By Pressing Volume - and Power Button
* Go to the ADB Install Folder and Press Shift & Right Click to get & select “Open command window here“. Confirm Fastboot is working by Entering Command: Fastboot Devices.. You should see a random string of letters followed by the word Fastboot. If you do not see the same..... the installation didn't complete successfully.
* In the Command Window.. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
* Enter the following Command: fastboot boot recovery.img
* Once the Phone has entered the Recovery... Flash the SuperSU Zip file and you will have ROOT capabilities.
* Take FULL Backup of your device and then install ANY Custom ROM.
Do let me know your results.
[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file. This method is for people who could not update through the Stock Recovery and received Errors.

After QFil/flashone my lemax2 still bootloops. I've tried flashing other roms via recovery but it reboots mid installation.
Any advice?

Try Another QFil / Service ROM

My advice is try another Qfil. These files are quite large and hence the one you downloaded might have some corruption.
Try THIS File

Hi, the link to the Leeco website is down...is there any alternative for downloading the latest stable EUI?
I downloaded the 23s from another website, renamed "update" but when I try to update via recovery it fails, cause: corrupted.
Any suggestion on this?
Thanks a lot in advance

You may try to use twrp to flash it, you downloaded version is a twrp backup version...

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm trying to get back to stock for other phone issues... So I wanted to avoid to install twrp, if possible.
Any link to a stock rom that can be updated via stock recovery?

You know I just going to blame Android 7.0 Nougat any chance we can have a CyanogenMod 13 6.01 based foxfi friendly ROM ?

I used the 23s from this link: https://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_max2.html
I flashed it from an indian rom. It will change your bootloader to chinese, though (not really an issue). And your recovery too, I guess (don't panic, it's bilingual). It will also update /firmware, and that should help with many issues.
However, there's no need to flash TWRP in order to use it: you can just boot it ( fastboot boot TWRPname.img).

At the last step, my indian rom is not getting flashed. Saying corrupted!!. Yesterday I updated with the same (rom) file from the system updater when I did not root the device.
"[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file.

Following these steps got the same error.
Edit: I am pretty much sure the developer chinese rom has the issue. It does not let you update with the Indian rom. Pretty bad.
Did anyone succeed to flash the indian rom the phone came with, or any indian rom from these chinese developer rom?

download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!)
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*​​​​​​​
Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!

HI, i hv the same problem likes yours with split screen.
Possible to share the steps how you manage to solved it.
Update:
Hi, I just managed to resolved it.
Download the given recovery 19S and save it on a USB drive.
Run twrp and press button wipe as our screen is reversed.
Then look for the file at external drive USB.
Just install it and once it is done..... the screen will return to normal

Hi.
Yes. After "QFIL", i also didn't update my device from DEV ROM with any Stock ROM (Indian or Chinese versions) by "upgrade.zip" without get the "corrupted file" error. So by TWRP, i installed 16S Indian Stock ROM -- TWRP informed that i have "no OS installed" but i proceeded and restarted from TRWP. It initialized the new ROM, and after the first setup, i restarted the device to complete any system operations after the first boot, and i updated the device with the Indian 19S with the EUI updater ( tapped "upgrade.zip" file). The device now have the stock recovery and boot in english (not chinese), and the EUI in all languages available on "India 19S Stock ROM".
Stock ROMS:
Le Max 2 All Official Stock Firmware links

SM-G530T Custom Recovery Issues

I need some help.
I'm trying to get a 7.1.2 build of Android running on my SM-G530T. (Preferrably, the most stable and functional build that currently exists.) So here's what I've done so far:
I unlocked the bootloader, I think?
Rooted the phone using CF-Auto-Root
Installed the TWRP official app.
Put the fortuna3g custom recovery on it, using the TWRP app
I used the TWRP app to boot into recovery mode, and that's when my problems started.
Sometimes it bootloops, sometimes it gets to the recovery page. If it gets to the recovery page, there's no touch response. I can still control the phone via CMD in windows. Any suggestions?
-Bludude4

this forums not letting me post links and its pissing me off. how do i post videos?

Doesn't the T model use the gprimelte recovery file rather than fortuna3g? I kept coming across the fortuna3g while looking for the twrp .tar file for the grandprime 530T. I used this link to flash the twrp recovery with Odin and had no issues.
dl dot twrp dot me slash gprimelte

Use Odin to flash TWRP from the official website. "dl <dot> twrp <dot> me <slash> gprimelte"Your device's codename is "gprimelte" The versions 530T, 530T1 and 530W have it too. I encountered no issues whatsoever. My device is a 530W.
1. Put phone to download mode (power+home+vol.down) then Volume up to confirm
2. Open odin then connect your phone to your computer. Odin should output an "added!" message.
3. Add the twrp .tar file to AP slot then click start.
4. Disconnect phone from PC after the process is done. It should reboot automatically.
Hope this helps!

Yeah, I was toying with the auto-selector in TWRP and it kept pointing me to the fortuna3g, and i eventually decided to use that over the gprimelte one, after being torn over which one to use. I guess I should've posted a question asking that first before I tried to flash. So I just have to repeat the procedure using gprimelte?

yes, using the gprimelte worked on my 530T

NECRO:
Haha, put the phone on the shelf for a year and 9 months, just spent 5 hours trying to figure out how to get my buddy back into his J2 core after he forgot the new unlock password he set on it. After getting a little frustrated at not being able to find a custom recovery for it by myself, I thought to myself "I wonder if I can take another crack at getting my Grand Prime working again." So I installed the latest version of Odin on my PC, put the Grand Prime in download mode, and slapped the gprimelte TWRP on there, it was booted in 20 under 20 seconds. XD
Now I just need to figure out how to get my friend's lock screen password off of his phone without losing his data...

Restoring Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 and Adding TWRP with Root

This is my post basically backing up files for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 "p4noterf" so we don't lose them later.
Restore factory fimeware
If you have crashed out your Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 and need to restore it try the following
1. First make sure you can enter download mode: Power + Vol. Down and then Vol. Up to continue (Google if unclear)
2. Download the latest factory firmware (N8013UEUCOI1_N8013XARCOI1_XAR) here:
https://mega.nz/#F!UdFwWLyL!006TWe3MPyK-9yeAJlH7AQ
3. We need it unzipped so unzip it.
4. Download Odin such as Odin 3.13.1 here: https://mega.nz/#!wZ9H1ArK!TLiWdY9YUKNzVpnVXuqzJz4rtA86XysGlmFfdWl5LvE
5. Unzip Odin and click it to start it up. It's the file named Odin3 v3.13.1 (or Odin3 v3.13.1.exe)
6. With your tablet in download mode plug it into your computer, it should show up in Odin
(If it won't connect to PC try another USB port or install the drivers: https://mega.nz/#!lFMVDbSC!j_sMAjcXneHSPkqgOysc382dqVzNB82QP5T_Huet8YA )
7. Load the unzipped firmware into the AP slot and press start
Install CWM Recovery and Root:

Install TWRP
1. Through Google Play store Install TWRP app and either select your device, download files and flash firmware in the app or continue at step 2 after installing.
2. You can direct download latest versoin to your sdcard (Download folder will do): https://dl.twrp.me/n801x/
Backup of latest at the time of this writing was ===> https://mega.nz/#F!EYlXCQhB!fTx37McGKNCWXkumldtHLA
3. Inside the TWRP app select the file you downloaded
4. Flash firmware
You can now use TWRP to install a custom rom if you wish, I used CM 13.1

2. Move slider to On position

Thanks, was looking for just this thing

Thank you for this! Made sure to save those files while I still can. Was able to restore, root and install Lineage OS 14.1 on this old Note 10.1 I inherited. Truly amazing to jump from Jellybean straight to Nougat when Samsung couldn't have cared less to update this tablet.

Cm 14.1 sidesync 4.7 on samsung gt-n8013 not working
Does anyone have any luck getting the Sidesync to work with Wifi Direct from the Samsung Note 10.1 Gt-N8013 Android 7.1 to the Android 8.1 Samsung S8 Phone. Trying to Get the Mirror Feature to Remote Control the Phone on the Tablet Screen
Can install sidesync and click to run .. app screen opens but than crashes with error message about not being able to mirror. Seems something not communicating with Wifi or hardware on tablet incompadability..??
Firmware V1.0

Your post has nothing to do with this topic .
see your identical post moved to Q&A

When I download the firmware using Odin, where does it get saved? I can't find the file with TWRP when I am ready to flash the firmware.

Odin does not download firmware.
You download firmware .
Odin is an installer for stock firmware tar files .
TWRP installs custom rom zips .

Not sure if you'll see this but how did this go? I have the n8013 (2013) model and would really like to update it past Jelly Bean. My biggest concern is the S Pen and S Notes still working as well as they do now. Is yours still up and running? Thanks!

SPen etc dont really work on non Samsung firmware .
Suggest a search for alternative spen on play store etc .

Ok, I extracted the PIT file from my tablet with Heimdall (like it was suggested in the readme), then I flashed TWRP Recovery and same result... Bootloop, and when trying to access Recovery Mode the TeamWin logo shows up for a second and the tablet reboots. Also tried flashing a stock rom, PhilZ Touch recovery, and still both Odin and Heimdall always say it was "succesful" but the result is always the same, nothing changes.
It's just weird to me how the TeamWin logo still shows up even after I flash the stock rom. I read somewhere that the oldest stock rom for my device might work, but I can't find a link anywhere for it except here, where it's Premium Only...

Root Failure on my C9 Pro in Android 8.0.0 Oreo

Hi guys. This is my first post on XDA.
Now I've got C9 Pro, and hours ago I just got it flashed with the latest Android 8.0.0 ROM, version: C9000ZHU1CRG9.
Also I managed to flash TWRP. Then I started doing the Root things with TWRP, as I had done on Android 7.1.1.
However, I did get issue while doing the Root on Android 8.0 --
Actually the SuperSU was flashed successfully, but after this, the phone kept restarting, failing to enter the OS.
I am definitely sure I did the Root with the right steps.
Also I tried different versions of SuperSU, still the issue existed.
Then I flashed Magisk instead, no use.
I even used other versions of TWRP, still no use!
......
Finally, I quitted, flashing the former Android 7.1.1 ROM.
I can't use a phone without Root, but I really want to experience Android 8.0.0.
Can someone offer me any solution?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I already tried the TWRP you introduced, no use, the issue still exists.

try the latest 3.2.3 and tell if it worked

I suggest to flash a clean oreo via odin then flash the latest twrp from @travis82 then do format data and wipe cache and data from twrp recovery
then install the latest magisk
hope u the best @jasonc417
keep updated

You know what, I already tried TWRP 3.2.3, but failed!:crying:

I have tried almost every combination ended up getting bootloop always except when I tried these;
1. Install stock firmware and csc (not home csc this will fully wipe the phone)
2. After finishing it enters to recovery and updates the system. Keep hold of pressing the volume down+home key to enter to download mode as soon as it finishes installing system update.
3. install twrp from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903985796 (original thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/c9-pro/development/twrp-c9ltechn-t3646970 sometimes links can be dead. In that case you can find new link from that thread).
4. Keep holding of pressing Volume Up+Home key while installing twrp to boot into recovery as soon as the phone reboots.
5. While in recovery flash this SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4164510&d=1496008012 (Located in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4164510&d=1496008012 as "*** Xperia users, and others experiencing bootloops ***
Please use this version instead: "
Your phone should boot normally to setup screen.
After You finish setup you should see supersu icon and your phone should be rooted.
I haven't tested but if your phone is in working condition right now you can try from step 3 to not lose your data.
Good Luck -

Thanks for your method. I think I made it finally!

There is, however, one problem with the given TWRP:
Before flashing SuperSU, I did format, or exactly, mount /data.
But when the phone was rebooted again, /data resumed unmounted, resulting in failure in flashing other ZIPs (It said "unable to mount /system").
Then I got the phone rebooted, the terrible bootloop occurred again!
That is to say, we have to flash all ZIPs in one time after mounting /data without rebooting the phone, but sometimes this is not possible.
Now my phone has gone back again to Android 7.1.1, and I think I have to wait for an official TWRP that supports Android 8.0 thoroughly on C9 Pro!

I tried your guide & used Magisk v17.2 instead of SuperSU at step 5 & successfully resolved the bootloop problem, but I did encounter the problem of data not mounting even after flashing ashyx_dm-verity zip:

2 days ago I flashed again the Android 8.0 ROM into my C9 Pro with Root successfully, through which I found the actual problem:
The given TWRP only supports the specific SuperSU zip, and while I flash other zip files, the bootloop occurs again. That's why I surrender flashing Xposed zip.

Well done
I can confirm that I have enabled mounting data partition in TWRP after using your mentioned Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018 zip file, Although I haven't followed your steps exactly
I have mentioned my steps in earlier reply.
Thanks

Thanks first.
Well, I do have a question: can I flash other zip files, like Xposed, with your given TWRP without phone bootloop?
Thanks!

New thread with root guide on oreo (8.0) step by step with required files would be appreciable.

Last night I tried this again following the steps, and finally the flash of Xposed and other 3rd-party zip were successfully!
Only one problem: an app named "Toggle Data" could not be run properly.
Again, thanks a lot!
