Hi guys.
First of all sorry if this question is asked before. But i habe tried every method to fix this issue reading other threads.
Today i tried rooting my s7 edge sm-g935fd (indian version) first using cf-autoroot method and then using this method <URL>http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770 </URL>.
I followed each and every step properly and also tried two-three times. But after rebooting the phone (first boot) it always gets stucked at Samsung Logo. I have let the phone sit alone for more than 2-3 hours every time but phone is not booting up.
Also tried to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt (as mentioned in 2nd thread point no 11) but its not booting up. Also did format dat when booted recovery for the first time.
Do i have to unroot and flash the stock indian firmware and start the root again? But for that i need to have that SECURE STARTUP THING and for which i have to boot into my phone .
So plz guys tell me how to fix this issue? I dont have that secure start up pin for unrooting.
Things i used:
Odin 3.12.3, 3.10.6
CF-autoroot for hero2lte
Twrp -3.0.2-2
Thanks for your help.
The step you're missing here is your phone is encrypted (i did the same thing)... Flash TWRP and go to Wipe then hit the advanced button. You will have to type "yes" and TWRP will wipe the entire partition and rebuild it without encryption. You can then flash any ROM with TWRP and then flash dm-verity, and not get the secure verify issue.

Thanks dude for your reply. But as i mentioned i did FORMAT DATA and clicked typed YES when i booted recovery for the first time after flashing it with odin. Also i did swipe to allow modifications when i was asked in recovery.

Thanks for your reply. Yes i ticked both oem unlock and usb debugging.
If you used the proper cf root for your phone it should of worked.
the second method is not for the S7 edge. which is stated very clearly like this
Do not flash on S7 Edge or Qualcomm models!

I believe the only way to fix this is to download the Samsung drivers to your computer and use recovery on smart switch device initialization to restore your phone to original. To use device initialization you need to know the model of your phone (which you have) and the serial number which you should be able find from the box the phone came in.

Oops i actually did not read that it does not work on s7 edge. But in the youtube video by max lee it was mentioned that the method works on s7/s7 edge exynos versions.
Edit: there is a same method for s7 edge also. Here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
Can you provide me the link for rooting s7 edge with cf-auto root and also step by step procedure to do so.
And also provide me the link for indian firmware for s7 edge. The one memtioned in one thread is corrupt.
Thanking you.

first get your phone restored using the smart switch method, that will put the correct uncorrupted firmware for your region.
then we willl talk about rooting. As long as you are in a boot loop on an unrooted phone very little can be done,

Done with restoring can you tell now what i have to do to root?
Done rooting. But not cannot install xposed
I did the rooting by first using cf auto root and then flashing twrp. But when i flashed xposed v86 sdk23 from twrp the phone is again stucked at samsung logo. Cant get over it from last 1 hour. Is there any fix for it?
You need to flash the wanam custom build xposed version not the regular xposed..

can you get into twrp, if yes then do a factory restore to remove xposed from your phone.
if you cannot get into twrp you will need to use smart switch again.

Hey there, I have a Google alert set for anything posted about this phone but so far nothing has come up on how to root it. Just two sites on how to update its version of android. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post links as I'm a brand new user to xda, but likely these sites are not of use to you)
I'm still waiting for a way to buy it! And I've been waiting a long time. May I ask how you purchased it? Any help you could give I would really appreciate!

OK, twrp cannot mount data or storage at the moment because your device has encryption enabled and TWRP does not support Samsung encryption at the moment.
To mount data and storage data needs to formatted to remove encryption and a custom boot.img used to disable forced encryption.

Yes It works fine now, even after reboot there is full access! I can now mount Data partition in twrp!
I get my paycheck tomorrow, so beer is incoming!
But there are some issues now in OS, most probably because the boot.img is for A910F and I'm on A9100... The navigation keys does not light up and is not working, also it will not turn on wifi even though I flip the switch. But finally some developer is taking the time for A9!

Those issues are almost certainly because of the kernel. Post your boot.img from the stock firmware.

I thought so as well, that is why we cannot crossflash the A910F firmware to A9100. Anyway here is the boot.img from A9100! Thank u once again!

No way to use international kernel somehow for a9100?
Hey guys,
I'm facing a new problem.
I had my phone rooted up until yesterday, with twrp recovery and CF Autoroot. Since i knew the procedure of rooting my phone very well (I've done it a couple of times on my phone and had the necessary files stored on my pc) i performed a factory reset. As you can unserstand the superSU app was deleted, so i said ok, lets flash it again.
This time though, twrp just won't flash the file. It just won't. It gives me a red letter error, "could not find meta inf/com/google/android..."
I don't understand. I did the exact same procedure about a month ago. It worked on my first try. What's up with it now?

Hello ! So i'm bit stressed now cause i never had an unpullable battery before on my samsung.
So i just got from my cousin a galaxy s6 edge plus, and i want to root it. so installed odin and flashed twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroflte.img.tar
However now it kept being on the samsung logo. So i had to e press and hold the Volume down and Power/Lock keys on the device for 10–20 seconds to power it off. But it keeps rebooting, and now, it's only a black screen with a blue led. I don't know what to do, i'd really need your help. Thank you I'm so worried gosh.
update 1: i tried to force shut down by pressing the buttons and it used to display the samsung and carrier logo then be stuck on samsung logo, but now it just shows samsung galaxy, turn off and the recent apps et return buttons blinking. Kinda scary. I'm waiting for the battery to discharge, hopefully it will work I need your help
The zerolte is for the S6 EDGE, you want the zenlte
http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6edgeplus.html
You should be able to hold vol down, home and power buttons to get into download mode to flash it.
Use the power and volume down button to force reset and when it does quickly press all 3.
Thank you for your time ! i did as you said, i entered twrp recovery mode and performed a wipe, but i'm still in a bootloop ! any ideas ?
EDIT : but i installed the new twrp over the old one might it be conflicting ?
I went back to 3.0.2.0 and don't have a bootloop issue anymore, it may be the latest update giving the issues.
Ehhh going back to the 3.0.2.0 didn't work either. I have the TWRP menu, have wiped, but i'm still in a bootloop. :/ I'm happy cause it's not bricked but i still use my phone...any help appreciated guys :<
So are you using a custom rom?
You can enter twrp to install/wipe etc?
nope i'm on stock rom and yeah i can enter twrp and install and wipe !

Well you can download your stock rom for your model, mine is sm-g928r4 not sure what yours is but ya. Then use odin to flash the stock img and then use cf auto root to get root.

Just download the latest firmware for your smartphone (SM-G928x (Replace the x with your spessific model number on the back)) and your country from sammobile.com and flash it through odin. This should wipe your data and perform a clean reflash of the stock ROM. After that procedure it will take about 10 minutes to boot and it should be working again
sammobile is pretty slow is SamFirm okay ? And thanks i'l ltry this !
ok so i tried to flash the rom from sam firm for my SM-G928F SFR but it just shows up with a failed... any ideas ?
I had an issue trying to flash stock Rom back, I was trying to flash an older version and it failed, i downloaded the latest for my model and it worked. Are you sure you downloaded the right one?

I presume you ave the SM-G928F S6 Edge +. Just flashing TWRP will cause boot loop. Please see post and flash via twrp the section 12. This should stop the bootloop. Allways remember never turn of OEM locking if you have a custom recovery.
" If you only want a bootable system partition or readable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
** If your internal storage is encrypted, you will need to use adb sideload instead."

So, I'd like to root my phone, but I've never done something like this. I've once rooted a phone with KingRoot, but I don't wanna do that again, since that's a pretty shady app. I'd like to root it the normal way, with SuperSU or something.
Also, I don't wanna lose any of my data. I know that anything can go wrong, but I'd just like a method that generally doesn't wipe your phone.
Thanks for any help

No you just need to unlock the OEM in developer settings and go to download mode to flash the recovery. You will lose guaranty but no data

Now, I followed the instructons, and I was able to root my phone succesfully. (Thanks )

twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a510_mm_1816
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
It all worked fine, no data loss, no wifi/camera error, no nothing, but when I turned off my phone, It wouldn't boot back anymore, It said "custom binary is blocked by FRP Lock"
As I've read, this is because I turned off OEM Unlock after rooting, but I'm not sure about this. Appearantly, if I'd leave it on it'd not cause this problem
Since then, my phone is working again, I just had to flash the Stock ROM, and I (fortunatly) didn't lose any data.
But obviously now my root is gone too. Could someone who has tried this confirm that it indeed works (boots up) normally if I leave OEM Unlock on forever?

Well, that's what the other guy sent, I had to choose one of them. BTW, do you always have OEM Unlock turned on, or have you turned it off. If you have it on, I'm pretty sure it's not the TWRP version, it's that I turned OEM off. If it boots without OEM on for you, then I guess I screwed it up, and I should have used the other version

Okay, I'm not sure if I'll try root again, I might, and if I do, I'll use the newer versions, if you say they work perfectly. But the main problem wasn't the older version here, but that I turned off OEM, I guess.

Well, If you want to turn off the OEM unlocking and be still rooted. You need to flash stock recovery after rooting. I've never tried it cause I don't care that much. Anyway you don't loose anything if you end up with frp lock. Again flash stock ROM you are good to go. And I've A5-510FD android 7.0 rooted. You may also want to backup to your Samsung account in case you mistakenly format your phone you can restore. That's what I always do.

The best way is to flash Cf Auto root that is compatible with your device using Odin PC.
Download a exact version of CF AUTO ROOT for model number of your device.

The best way is to flash Cf Auto root that is compatible with your device using Odin PC.
Download a exact version of CF AUTO ROOT for model number of your device.

On the contrary. The best way in my opinion is flashing SuperSU with TWRP.
The reason is TWRP is your safety net should anything go wrong. You will always be able to boot to recovery regardless of the Bootable state of the device.
The whole device can be backed up and restored in minutes as long as /data encryption is not in force.
Then SuperSU can be flashed.
While CF-AUTOROOT is the goto root for simplicity and beginners it's not the preferred way.
Root is rather pointless without a custom recovery to go with it imo.
Once you've rooted the stock recovery becomes dead in the water and useless.
hello everybody!
I'm new here and want to root my Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) and try some custom ROM.
Here is my phones details:
-Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A510F)
-Android 7.0
-Security patch: 1 April 2017
Also on Settings > Software Update, I have set manual update and there is a notification about one new software updates (last check 11/08/2018).
Do you know if its a Operation System update or just a security patch?
Should I do that update or will cause any problems with rooting and custom ROM?
What TWRP should I use and what custom ROM?
Any good guide?
Thanks in advance

Download the latest twrp file (Use the links that says "Primary Download US/EU") (Currently it's twrp-3.2.3-0-a5xelte.img.tar 14/8/2018)
Go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Thanks for your response.
That about the software update notification?
Do you know if its a Operation System update or Security patch update?
Should I run it, before root and install a custom ROM or better leave like this?
To begin. My device, as mentioned in the title, is the Samsung Galaxy J3 sm-J320W8 running Android 7.1.1.
I tried to root it with the CF-Auto-Root. I matched all the info as needed, that being Model number and android version, and continued with the root as you normally would with Oden. After Oden says it passes. My device reboots, but instead of going into recovery and installing SuperSU it gives me the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error at the top left of the screen. It then reboots once again and the phone starts as normal so thankfully I didn't break anything. But SuperSU was not installed and my device remains unrooted. I did notice that the SuperSU zip was transferred to my SD card though.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Hopefully with a solution as well.

I have yet to find twrp available for my device and I don't know how to compile one myself. CF-Auto-Root is the only root I have found so far for the j320w8

Looking back over some posts it seems it was unclear whether this device has a locked bootloader or not.
I never actually got a real confirmation.
Check out the thread below, you will find a root method as yet unconfirmed!

From what I can tell in that thread since I have seen it prior to posting this one they have yet to have any confirmed rooting methods. And the j320w8 rooted boot file from what I remember is the one that soft bricked my device last time. I can try again though. I have a backup and recovery image so it's not a big deal if I get soft bricked again.
I could also check if there is a way to unlock the bootloader on my device... If that's even a thing. I'm still trying to learn what some of this stuff means.

If the bootloader is locked there's no way to unlock it.
What was the soft brick, gave you got details?

After installing one of the files through oden it just got stuck and wouldn't turn on. Couldn't access the Android Recovery and trying to turn on the device basically just made it get stuck on the samsung loading screen. I did still have access to the Download so I was able to reflash the original 7.1.1 firmware back into it

It wouldn't have worked as it's a Marshmallow firmware and you are running Nougat. The 2 are not compatible.

Ah. Would it be possible for me to downgrade firmwares in order to get the root? I'll take older rooted firmware over newer unrooted any day

OK you should be able to downgrade to J320w8VLU2AQA1 then flash the rooted boot with odin.

I seem to have run into an Issue. I reinstalled Android 6.0.1 successfully and set up my device. Made sure that it was J320w8VLU2AQA1 and confirmed it through the about section.
Then I flashed the rooted boot that you linked. Oden showed success and my device rebooted as normal. But... My phone started as if nothing happened. No SuperSU installed and when I go into recovery mode it just has the basic Android Recovery. No TWRP.

It's not TWRP its a rooted boot image.
Install the Superuser app from the Play store and hopefully you should have root priveledges.
After installing, open the Superuser app and report back its status.

Alright. I installed SuperSU. It did an update and rebooted my device. Checked with Root checker app and I am in fact rooted!
I didn't realize that's what I had to do. So all of this is working and I have rooted my J320W8

Finally a proper confirmation.
Glad its worked for you. :good: You MAY be able to update to Nougat by flashing the stock firmware with FLASHFIRE.
Just ensure EverRoot is enabled.
