[Q] Problem with rooting , how to fix?

Hello, I'm having a problem when rooting my device. I've successfully flashed the CF-Auto-Root file and it says "PASS" in Odin but the phone boots into recovery and won't boot to the OS and the recovery is showing this message: "Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing".
I've used this file to root: http://download.chainfire.eu/727/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedx-smg900f.zip How can I fix this? I've flashed BOB7 stock and the phones back to normal but I need to root in order to install a custom recovery (Philz)
Thanks.

You can try this if you want it works when using TWRP recovery but not sure about Philz
Make sure you don't have super user app installed on your phone
Download the attached zip and put it in a folder on your phones internal storage
Install Philz custom recovery via Odin
When the phone reboots go to the market and install Chainfires SuperSU, this one here
Once installed reboot phone into recovery and install the zip file you downloaded above
Reboot the phone and go to the SuperSU app and tap it, give it a moment and it should ask for you to grant root access
If it has worked as it does with TWRP you will be rooted, let me know if it works or not.

I don't really want to risk anything , I've also noticed that there are 2 CF-Auto-Root files , one that says kltedx and other that says kltexx. Should I give the other one (kltexx) a try? Also , my friend told me that I need to root first and then install a custom recovery (Philz).

I never mentioned CF Auto Root the process mentioned above doesn't use it. it is just TWRP Recovery 2.4 or higher you install via Odin
Then SuperSu form the marked
Then boot into recovery and install the zip file which updates SuperSU binary to give root access
That's it, no CF Aoto Root

Are you sure that your method is going to work on my G900F? I'm on Lollipop OB7 if that makes any difference.

Same as mine , so you've used exact same method on the same firmware version (BOB7) ?

Nevermind , It appears that there's another G900F , one's kltexx and kltedx and kltexx worked for me and the other didn't. Thanks for helping tho

how to install supersu, and how to update its binary

help i already have supersu installed after i flash my rom.. but when i open it it says it needs to update binary but i dont know how.. any help?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu

Go into the supersu settings. Somewhere all the way to the bottom should be the option to update the binary.

1. Using CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. More problems?? -> Take a look: HERE.

Flash the latest 2.46 zip through recovery, and if it prompts you for update, just click OK and it should be fine

now I noticed you have PC, are you on stock rom?
can you backup your important data ?
do you have your mobile firmware on your pc ?(you can just download it from sammobile)
if you have all then you should install your firmware again via odin in order to make your phone clean( i don't advise you to do factory reset because superSU became a system app in your case )
after that you should install custom recovery like TWRP or other.... and it must be official, you can pick it from this form or from TWRP site, *tar or *md5 format, then install it via odin, this will be the first step in any phone rooting or other things.....
then download superSU (chainfire) *zip format to your SDcard or phone memory
then boot into recovery and take backup for most important thing (efs,boot,....)
after than install superSU .zip in recovery mode..then reboot to system
now open SU apk and let him remove Knox....
reboot again, and enjoy......
Best Regards

Once you have flashed TWRP, reboot straight into recovery rather than back into the system, otherwise the system overwrites with stock recovery. Once you've done it once it should stick. Hope that works for you.

We need to wait for Realme to release a fix, just like what happened on color os when fingerprint wasn't working

On C.27 Bootloader Unlock and Root, Fingerprinter works

Uninstall Magisk with the .zip from their site. Github here
Instal stock recovery like you did to install custom recovery.
Next, download the C.27 update and run it from the file manager. Phone will reboot and start updating
After update, just do the whole process to root C.27 version like for Android 9.

So basically if I'm on c27 already, it's okay to use the same root method?

I tried several thins to install Magisk succesfully with no luck.
I received my Global x2 Pro this thursday and i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery. But when I flask the magisk 20.4 zip and reboot my device, i get an error saying that my boot / recovery partition is corrupt. I have to install C27 again from twrp and it boots up.
Can anybody help me how to install Magisk succesfully? It's driving me nuts. Also, i cant download the vbmeta.img from the OP. So i tried to extract the vbmeta.img from the c27 image to flash, but also no lucck
Edit: Finally having it working with the Orangefox recovery with the vbmeta.img. I thought that the link in OneDrive wasnt working, but it was my home networks which was blocking OneDrive. Problem solved!

Isn't it possible to install ota update from twrp? (I use mauronofrio). Is it mandatory to unroot, install C27 and then re-root?

It's possible if someone makes a flashable zip, though I dont know of that can be done for every phone. Otherwise you need a stock recovery to install the OTA.

Like @adsubzero said. Unless you have a custom ozip file to flash on TWRP, you need to have stock recovery to install a standard ozip.
