Hi everyone,
After my A700YD upgrade to android 5.0.2, I cannot find a feasible solution to root my phone. I have tried the CF root or TWRP recovery of other A700 model but my phone stuck at samsung logo after reboot. Could anyone help me to root my A700YD? Many thanks.

Could anyone help? You can find the BL and recovery in the above links. New users cannot post link, sorry
Anyone can help?

I have tried some twrp recovery. It can enter the recovery successfully but it cannot boot normally. It stuck at samsung logo.

I've tried to dig more in it, and what I get is
1. The only way I succeed is by using KingRoot, and the method it's using is by exploiting and keeping a daemon background and the su file for calling the daemon. So that means after reboot, root is lost.
3. Replacing KingRoot with SuperSU's su file will lead to a bootloop, same as goes to installing zip by twrp.
4. In the bootloop, logcat shows that it is repeating a particular normal boot process
5. In the bootloop, using adb shell and typing "su" will not get into root, despite su is located in xbin.
6. Busybox functions normally.
Any ideas?

Incorrect, installing supersu version 2.6x> with twrp will patch the boot image to prevent bootloop on samsung devices.

Whether or not the patch applies, it will still stuck in bootloop.
Same thing occured on current BETA supersu

Hi, I'm very interesting to this discussion, because yesterday my a700yd update to lollipop, then I root it with king root, but many app eg. leandroind not function with kingroot, so I use kingroot remove script but i'm occurred in bootloop, so I reflash original kitkat firmware but the phone does'nt work correctly, so I reflash lollipop firmware and all work perfectly. Now I would ask you if there is a functionally root method for a700yd?
Ps:when I do a wipe data in recovery mode, I have an error: E:can't mount /preload.

From my current experience, no. The sad thing is I'm not skilled enough to do it myself, and seemly there is no reason that skilled devs are willing to have a head in to this not-quite-popular device.
Btw, you need to format /system partition before you flash the kitkat(well, maybe it works maybe it don't, it's just my experience.)

Nope, it will only do that if you attempt to replace Kingroot with supersu.
If you apply supersu to a clean stock boot and system partition it shouldn't boot loop.

If you have twrp installed I will upload a modified version of SuperSU which will allow systemless root on 5.0.2.
This will patch the boot image and should prevent a bootloop.

Weird, I did format my /system, /data and /cache before pushing in stock rom and supersu...
Isn't it sufficient to remove KingRoot?
Edit:
Or did I just messed up something?

If you flashed the stock rom that should remove the Kingroot and Super su binaries.
Are you using a stock kernel?
Usually only 5.1.1 and 6.0> need a patched boot.img as Samsung don't use root protection on 5.0.2 firmware.
However never say never and Samsung may may now be using root prevention in the later 5.0.2 kernels.
This means that a patched boot image is required to circumvent Samsung's root prevention.
If you have the boot.img I can patch it manually.

Hi everyone!
I found this two files, they are recovery.img and supersu 2.46. I still haven't tested them, because recovery is in img format and it has only the Chinese language. If anyone can help me translate the recovery and convert it in tar.md5 format. I found this 2 files on a700yd chinese forum. Thanks!
Same device platform. So should be compatible.

I wiped my phone again and tried it
Here's my procedure
Wipe everything excluding external storage
reboot to bootloader and odin in stock rom
reboot to bootloader again and odin in twrp
reboot to recovery
twrp pops up patch notification(agrees and applied)
install SuperSU 2.65(stable) via sideload
reboot into system
Bootloop. ):
What does not cause bootloop
Stock ROM
TWRP installed only with stock ROM
What causes bootloop
installing SuperSU just after TWRP install (via zip or sideload)
Other problems
installing SuperSU from TWRP built-in will cause a recovery loop(unable to get past recovery screen)
=========
the recovery works good! (a good news at least)

Has anyone been able to get magisk to work appropriately? I attempted and the magisk apk kept fc'ing. I read about LG devices needing a boot.img "bump". Is this true or has anyone got it working in their own way?
There Is no root method for variants that don't have a unlocked bootloader. You would know this if you read the forums before asking

So, quite frankly, if you read, another user has it working. Further more, with the TMO variant, I do have an unlocked bootloader. Root application works with magisk, however the APK itself fc's.
I thought cowboys were polite ; )
I misread your post thought you were the typical person asking for a update on root I apologize.

I have the H918/tmo and I was able to get magisk running with phh's superuser. I'm kinda iffy on magisk-hide, as i had issues with it initially ( random reboots with it enabled). I turned off magisk hide for about a week, then turned it back on last night with no reboots since.. but haven't tested it with apps.
After running the easy recowvery + root script, i got rid of SuperSU. I believe all i did was a Full Unroot in the options, with no changes to the recovery. (I also may have done a format /data when rebooting to recovery again, but i dont recall fully, so take that into consideration if it didnt work at first (followed by the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip).)
After getting rid of SuperSU/su binary, what i remember doing was:
1 ) Flash magisk v9.zip -> reboot to system to make sure it boots, then adb reboot recovery.
2 ) Flash phh's superuser r266-2.zip -> reboot to system
3 ) install magisk manager via apk, and phh's superuser via playstore.
4 ) test out root.
has anyone been able to get Phh's superuser to work on the Sprint v20 / LS997 ?? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
If you can't get this working there is an app called RootSwitch. It can successfully hide root on the V20 with a toggle.

ive got 1 working and 1 in testing that uses magisk and phh.
the phh superuser seems to be casusing the systemui to force close often when in hide mode and the random reboots and loss of service, otherwise it was working fine.
but yeah, just flash version 10.2 on your current rom and see what happens!
btw this was on DEC sec patch, on oct builds i never tried it, but this is latest DEC sofware, didnt even use rootswitch

Tried RootSwitch w/ SuperSU. Didn't pass SafetyNet if that's what you were referring to.
Tried it again last night. Had the 1st 3 options turned on. Soon as I opened Android Pay my phone hot booted and got stuck on the VZW splash screen. Had to pull the battery. Won't try that again with supersu.
I have a VS995 this is how I got my phone to finally take magisk and pass the safetynet check. I'm running software version VS99513A I performed dirty santa to get unlocked bootloader and root access. Now I tried to uninstall supersu threw the app and I got a failed message. I tried going into recovery and flashing the supersu unistaller and that would fail. I tried flash magisk v12.0 and keep getting error message. I got stock in twrp recovery several times and used LGUP and flash either VS99512A KDZ or the VS99513A KDZ. Am not a developer but it seemed as if the boot.img won't take by the magisk zip. Those where my failed attempts for about a week or two. Now on to the success story
Performed Dirty Santa on software version VS99513A. I decide to flash modstock kernaI update v1.1 because it seem to work well with a stock rooted VS995. I flashed busy box in recovery and downloaded the app and also downloaded quick reboot so I could reboot into recovery easier. After reading @poixninja thread on modstock kernal - stocked with goodies he mention flash a boot.img that was patched with magisk. So I but the phone into fastboot mode and flashed his boot.img onto the phone with cmd (command prompt). I think I might have tried to uninstall supersu threw the app and I think it didn't work after flash the boot.img. So I put the phone into recovery mode the to wipe and then to advance wipe and clear dalvik and cache. After that I went to install and flashed the supersu unistaller and it took. After flashing I wipe the cache that twrp ask after most flashes. I then rebooted into recovery to make sure my twrp was not affected because I had and issue with that in previous supersu unistaller attempts. Rebooted ito twrp recovery then rebooted into system. I think whenever I flashed the verzion logo stayed up longer than normal but the phone fully started up. I clicked on supersu and it said no root access. Turned of the phone and did the steps to get to recovery mode. Once in I first wiped dalvik and cache. Then I flashed magisk unistaller and it went threw with no issue. I wiped dalvik and cache then rebooted into recovery. After getting into recovery I rebooted to system.
Sidenote: I recommend after wiping supersu and flashing magisk unistaller. Once you boot up install magisk apk. I didn't install the apk until after I flashed the magisk v12.0 in recovery. I noticed when I reboot the magisk icon was on the phone but when I clicked it it said go to playstore to download. I had the magisk manager apk on my SD card so I just installed it. The install to longer than normal I think it was because I didn't install it prior to flash the zip in recovery. I didn't get a chance to verify it yet.
Once the phone boot and I installed the magisk app manager I open it up and got green checks for installed magisk v12 and properly rooted. I went to setting and turned on enable busy box, magisk hide, and systemless. But when I clicked safetynet I got cts mismatch. Did some research and read on other XDA magisk thread that it maybe because of custom roms, modified kernals and possible supersu somewhere on the system. The only root accessible apps I had installed during this process was busybox and quick reboot. I did notice the first time I ran quick reboot after getting magisk it did give it root access then it did after I opened it again.
I decide to uninstall quick reboot and busy box. I uninstalled both apps. I rebooted into recovery mode the manual way. First thing I did was wipe dalvik and cache. Then I flashed busy box uninstaller. When the flash was running I say in the command lines that it found supersu. Which I thought was odd so I also flashed supersu unistaller. I rebooted into recovery wipe dalvik and cache and flashed uninstall magisk. Then reboot into recovery. I ran busy box uninstaller one more time to see if it would pick up supersu again and the command lines did not mention it. I flashed back magisk v12.0 rebooted into recovery. Then rebooted into system
Opened magisk went to setting to turn on enable busy box, magisk hide and systemless. Check safetnet and failed I found a magisk XDA thread that talks about common issue. It said I had to check magisk core only mode. Once I did that he requested a reboot which I did. Once back up I first cleared in app manager under show system I cleared all data for google play store, google play service for instant app, google play services. I opened magisk clicked safetynet check and I passed it. I went to search for netflix in play store and it pop up I installed it and it working fine so far. I tried logging into snapchat and I got threw.
Hope this maybe help full to anyone having issues

If I may be so bold, I played around with the rooting process on mine (I have a VS995 on 13A, too), and found a much easier (and possibly cleaner?) way to do this. Of course, the way I'm about to suggest would require a full KDZ to stock and a factory reset...
Here's mine:
Follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/lgv20-vs995-verizon-aio-post-06-19-2017-t3624326
Note: For noobs: After step 13, it's a bit misleading, because it doesn't boot DIRECTLY into TWRP, but boots to the white-screen "stock" recovery. The trick is to tell it "Yes" to both reset prompts. (It doesn't actually reset your stuff.) After this, it will take you to the TWRP menu.
When you get to step 14E, DO NOT FLASH SuperSU!
Instead, flash the ReStock zip.
After flashing ReStock, follow step 14G, and then flash Magisk 13.3 (latest stable, haven't tested others) from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
I tried this out of order a couple of other times and ended up either having Magisk not following through with install, or developing issues installing certain apps. (Either getting a -504 error from Play Store, or having valid APKs reply that they were "corrupt" when directly installing.)
Of course, all of the stereotypical disclaimers apply-- YMMV, and I'm not responsible if you brick your device, yadda yadda...
No offense, intended, sentra10550. While I'm glad you managed to get things working, the directions were a bit convoluted and I hope my humble findings might help yourself, in the future(?), and any others that may have a VS995.
Good luck, everybody!
)O( NeoHiPPy )O(
Think I'll wait until an easier method comes out for the VS995 to run Magisk lol..
I was UNABLE to do full unroot on my V20 from SuperSu settings menu. It would say "uninstallation failed"
I tried running UPDATE-unSU.zip from TWRP and it did not help. Magisk keeps on complaining about modified boot file.
I am unlocking boot loader, trying to flash Magisk in TWRP instead of SuperSu as per DirtyStanta root method instructions.
I will also flash restock 1.3 right after to stop static and vibration issue.
If it works, ill update my post.

Ok i got it working. It was easier then i thought it would be.
These are the steps i did the very first time i got into TWRP after bootloaded unlock process as per DirtySanta rooting instructions.
Entered TWRP
DID NOT format data>yes
Installed Restock1.3 and Magisk.zip
Wipe cache and dalvik. Says Failed to wipe Dalvik (dont know why but what ever)
Reboot.
Result: Asking for unlock password 9 attempts left. So i have to Format Data>Yes
Re-entered TWRP
Format Data>yes
Reboot.
Root works. No SuperSu needed.
Conclusion:
You have to format DATA not for the root to work, but to be able to get into the phone. If there was a way to bypass that, there would be no need to factory reset to root. Root method would not require you to wipe the phone.
How ever, some apps that i use still do not support systemless root. They fail to do their work such as removing system apps. I cant remove any of my system apps for some reasons. I get "failed" messageevery time.
I was told i need modules for Magisk, but i have yet understood what that even means.
Other apps that use root, work fine. Such as AdAway.org
Hello forum,
Is it truly possible to root the xt1563 running 6.0.1? I've followed multiple sties with instrutions and when I can easily get past unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp but when I go to install the supersu from twrp, I go into a boot loop.
Can someone here say that they've successfully rooted their xt1563 running 6.0.1? If so, where did you get your files?
Thanks!
I rooted my XT1603 on 6.0.1 successfully. I used twrp-lux-3.0.2-r3.img and flashed supersu 2.46, got a bootloop. I reflashed supersu 2.62-3, still got a bootloop. Then I reflashed supersu 2.65 and it worked. Thanks to this post:

thanks chinhodado. I will try to flash with 2.65. Do you know where I can find the same file you used?
Here: https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU
Didn't work. I first tried 2.65 then it froze on load-up. I left it for about 3 minutes, then rebooted in recovery. Tried 2.62 same thing. I left it load this time for 7 minutes. Stuck on motorola planet picture.
I honestly don't know what it takes to root this device. oneclickroot.com offer rooting for 39.95 which I think is silly. Somehow they seem confident that they are able to sell a "root" package.
I remain confused and frustrated.
thanks for trying to help chinhodado
Did you try wiping the cache? I think I had to do that several times too.

yeah that and davlik
only systemless method work on moto x play whether its XT1562 / 1563
Go to terminal in TWRP - Advanced-Terminal type command in your phone
Code: echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/how-to-root-moto-x-play-xt1562-running-t3509344
I did not have to enter any command when I rooted my phone and it still succeeded in the end. I think 2.62-3 uses systemless root by default. It doesn't hurt to try though.
I am getting the same problem on XT1562, it stucks on Bootloader warning, tried everything above and available elsewhere. Help!
So I'm trying the Magisk root mode instead of SuperSU. This is my first time messing with Magisk.
I flashed the lastest OOS version and flashed the Magisk zip.
I went to the dowload modules section and installed a bunch of modules without rebooting immediatly. After all installed I rebooted and to my surprise, the phone didn't boot. It stays in the 1+ logo forever.
What have I done wrong? Installed wrong modules? Should I reboot after each module installed?
I flashed the ROM back, wiped cache and dalvik and flashed Magisk again and still the phone isn't booting..
EDIT: Flashed the ROM again without Magisk or SuperSU and it booted, but somehow I lost the TWRP recovery!
Great now it will wipe my phone to install the TWRP recovery again..
These are my favorites so far, I am so happy with them

It won't wipe your phone if you simply run it in fastboot and flash the TWRP recovery. The only reason it wipes the first time is because you had to do an oem unlock, which is already done now. The only time you will have to wipe your whole phone from now on is if you decrypt, and with ROMs starting to work with encryption, that shouldn't need to be done.
For the boot loop, my guess is a bad module.
To get the phone working again, you did the correct thing in flashing the stock zip without Magisk. The only thing you needed to do right after that was flash TWRP recovery image again through TWRP to overwrite the stock recovery. Then you would boot up, uninstall the modules, and reflash Magisk.
The only Magisk module I use is the stock Google Dialer/Contacts mod.

Wow. Didn't knew there are so many modules just for OP5. Guess it's time to root.
Does using doze for Google play services causes any notification issues? Delay etc.

The only Magisk module I use is the stock Google Dialer/Contacts mod.

thank you for your explanation. I managed to install the TWRP recovery again. what's happening now is I flash the ROM and it boots. I flash Magisk and it doesn't boot. I flash the ROM again and then SuperSU and it works. What I think is happening now is when I flash Magisk it might load the modules that don't work and it won't boot. Is there a way to know if the modules are installed in the background?
What I did now was flash the Magisk uninstaller and flashed the SuperSU and it's working.

I llaughed out loud when I read the "Flash Stock Recovery - Step 7/ Ponder for a minute at how useless it is"
You guide is good but not for my situation. I can boot, just not with Magisk. The thing was, I installed a lot of Magisk modules all at once, like Viper4Android, Emoji one module, and a bunch of more. Then rebooted and it bootlooped.
Would like to get center clock on the status bar. Is there a module that does this?

Substratum is your answer to that question. I haven't tried any full themes since our recovery is still a working mess it seems, so I'm worried about backups. But the Ozone Substratum module works well. I just made my clock centered with small date and am/pm. Persists through dirty flashes too.

I haven't had to mess around with uninstalling Magisk modules, but I assume the method to uninstall a module would be to
Flash system zip
Flash TWRP recovery
Boot into phone
Run the Magisk manager app without actually having Magisk installed
Uninstall or disable the modules
Then install Magisk

Ah okay I see, then yeah it is maybe an incompatibility issue with one of the modules, mind listing all of them, I'll try and figure out which one is causing the Bootloop ?

So I'm trying the Magisk root mode instead of SuperSU. This is my first time messing with Magisk.
I flashed the lastest OOS version and flashed the Magisk zip.
I went to the dowload modules section and installed a bunch of modules without rebooting immediatly. After all installed I rebooted and to my surprise, the phone didn't boot. It stays in the 1+ logo forever.
What have I done wrong? Installed wrong modules? Should I reboot after each module installed?
I flashed the ROM back, wiped cache and dalvik and flashed Magisk again and still the phone isn't booting..
EDIT: Flashed the ROM again without Magisk or SuperSU and it booted, but somehow I lost the TWRP recovery!
Great now it will wipe my phone to install the TWRP recovery again..

Keep in mind that everytime you update your phone it will also install stock recovery. So you'll need to re-install twrp after every oos update.
I have no module installed but I use other apps that needs root.
Btw can anyone comment on atmos or viper4android, does your phone/headphone sound any better?

None any issue, just flash and relax

I can't seem to find any rooting method for C432B380 software. Is there any step-by-step guide for this version? I'm currently on fully stock firmware, and I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet.

Well, ask for unlock code - that's the first step.
I am interested in this as well, as from what I see some people seem to run into problems. Say one is on Nougat C432B380 (I'm B381) and has now got the unlock code. What then? First of all, unlocking the bootloader will result in a reset, clean C432B380 installation, right? Or will there be any need to flash something else?
EDIT: I passed the unlock part following the Guide, and ended up with a clean Nougat installation as I thought. Now what? In the OldDroid TWRP thread I see many people having trouble...

I recommend staying away from any custom roms for now as all seem to have problems... you say you have an unlocked bootloader, then next step would be flashing a custom recovery, then from there... flashing supersu... try not to do much more than that and accept a fully functioning rooted phone better than getting a squichy camera or whatever from custom roms.... wait till they get stable

I was not planning to install a custom ROM, I just want root, mainly for Viper4Android and some other things, but after reading the whole OldDroid TWRP thread I saw some people reporting problems with bootloops and whatnot, mainly after flashing SuperSU. Is flashing TWRP and then EliteKernel and rooting with phh or Magisk preferable? I just got my device back from the Huawei services, with a new board and everything and I don't want to ruin the stock installation again, so I am trying to be a bit more certain before I do anything.
Thank you for replying.
EDIT: Okay, so what I did was flash the latest OldDroid TWRP through fastboot and then I booted into recovery and flashed the latest Magisk (v13.3 I think). Now I have root and everything seems to work. So happy.
EDIT2: It seems that although it says I have root, I can't actually do anything with it, e.g. I can't uninstall system apps with Link2SD even though it says it was successful - reboot, still there - and the modules won't appear even after installing.... So, I don't know what's wrong.

stay away from magisk if you want something stable... at least my opinion. Magisk is fine, the only add it adds, is magisk hide, which seems to keep failing now for most people. I'm suffering through it now and switching to supersu... try finding the correct way to remove magisk root and go the chainfire's supersu

I restored a backup of the boot partition I had made when I first flashed TWRP which seems to have deleted Magisk, the app told me it was not installed (even though I see now a Magisk folder in data...) and then flashed Super SU, but I still can't delete system apps and having trouble with Viper*. But maybe it's not SU's fault. I don't know. I flashed v2.79, I previously had trouble with the newest versions.
Also, I had not activated the Hide function, I think.
*It is driving me crazy! Why does it not work? Supposedly I am root, I even deleted the system apps with the file managers but when I exited and reentered the folder they were there again. What is going on?... Wait... Is this normal, is it because it is system-less root?
To root any nougat fw:
1)unlock bootloader. You have to get unlock code from huawey and then in fastboot mode do: "fastboot oem unlock yourcode"
2)flash twrp recovery, i suggest you the hassan's recovery https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120756473
3)in fastboot mode do "fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img
4)reboot in recovery and flash this supersu
