[ROOT] 14.6.A.0.368 via KingRoot

Finally... i made it WORKS
Thats the way i ROOT my 14.6.A.0.368 firmware with LOCKED bootloader.
1. Installed KingRoot V4.6.0 128 and rooted with it
2. Installed Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9 and this program replaced KingRoot with SuperSU
3. Downloaded Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.flashable.zip <- This is not mistake, you need FLASHABLE version... yes i know you don't have active recovery to flash it.
4. Install Flashfire from http://flashfireapk.com/ and flash the recovery zip with it...
5. Enjoy
P.s. may be you will need RIC Disabler/Killer also... i have installed it before, but doesn't noticed it do something
Please thank or just write something to approve this works for you
OLD: "Hello there. After update with Sony PC Companion i have lost my root access. Today KingRoot rooted my phone again... now it time to install dual recovery and back to SuperSU.
Cheers
UPDATE: I have replaced KingRoot SU app with help of Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9 and now i have SuperSU installed and working fine, but... still can't use Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer or XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer. They installed fine, but after reboot phone show RED light WITHOUT vibration and no matter i press UP or DOWN i can't enter recovery and boots android."

What version? Do you have a link? So far, I haven't heard of Kingroot working on 5.1. Also, do you know if 'kingroot to SuperSU' script works with it?

Thanks!

If you are rooted you cannot OTA update. You can update via PC Companion without losing anything (I'm not quite sure though) than root with Kingroot.

Yes, ota doesn't work. Thanks for your reply.
But then i was telling myself to risk a bit and folowing the tutorial that i was using from updating from 14.5.A.0.270 to 14.6A.0.368 and it works without loosing any data.

I've just followed your steps and rooted my Z1C with stock 14.6.A.1.216. Everything works like a charm. Many thanks @OdhinnBG and @dulehak

How can i update from 216 to 236 without loosing root?

Just install prerooted via recovery

First try wipe caches in recovery, that might fix it.

Please let me know if you are able to root it. I am wondering if other universal rooting methods work with this phone.

Everything worked fine, you don`t need wondering...it`s Chainfire who developes here! Schould work on all phones (inkluding A VErsion) from Android Lolliopop and higher!

Trust me, I've done it without root. I had xposed installed before with root then I flashed the latest stock rom from n915w8 and flashed xposed right after without wiping data and it worked. I guess it was because the xposed modules were already configured but ultimately, I did not root in order to use xposed. The functionality of xposed is increased if you root. This is from my experience
The latest xposed for Samsung probably has some loop hole I'm unaware of that allows you to install it without root.

the boot-loader is not unlocked for n915a currently, how can we install twrp? or you mean install supersu by odin without twrp?

step 2... Install latest twrp... How can you do that if your phone has never been rooted before?

for my note edge sprint (915p) i used CWM cos twrp didnt work. after flashing supersu said i dont have root access and if i would like to have it. I SELECTED NO. after rebooting once phone booted fine. took a while for supersu to take over things and now its all good

Do you by any chance have the latest twrp (2.8.0.7) in .tar file? I've been lurking around for a while now and I'm not able to find it. I can only find .img and I need Linux to convert it to .tar to be able to Odin. I've lost root and now I can't get it back.

ok now that ive spent more time with it i believe the root i got is incomplete. on many apps supersu dialogue doesnt pop and they dont recognize the phone as rooted. i used titanium backup to try and remove system apps and despite everything going fine the apps didnt go anywhere
UPDATE: problem fixed. I edited the build.prop in /system/ using a build.prop editor and now all my apps are asking for root
In build.prop look for ro.securestorage.support=True and set it to False
Also solves if your phone keeps forgetting the wifi passwords

It works. SM-915F. Just don't forget to off 'reactivation lock' in security tab in androud in order to install TWRP successfuly. Thanks a lot!

No you're right. Twrp is in img format but you can easily convert it to tar using a linux emulator. Took me minutes to convert it to tar. Google "how to convert img to tar. Running twrp fine

Does it work in 915V ??

So,it's strange how the method works on my 915f. For example; Titanium Backup can't remove systems apps. It looks like I have a root, but not fully operated. Any advices?

Does this still trip the knox counter?
I want to root, but I must keep my warranty as this N915F is on my company's name.

Lost root after flashing 4.1.6, Please help.

Hi, Can someone please help, I must have done something wrong. Flashed official 4.1.6 update through twrp successfully, but lost root, tried to flash super su again (ver 2.86), but got stuck in boot, logo froze.
Flashed 4.1.6 again, phone works but no root still.
Is that a wrong super su version or did I do something else wrong?
Help will be really appreciated.
Regards

After flashing a full update you'll always have to reflash your root solution. I guess you mean SuperSU v2.82...
Use the official 2.82, found here (there's a link to the flashable zip). There's also a link to a version to try if you're experiencing bootloops.
You could also try the release candidate, found here.

Magisk all the way

1. Wipe data
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash root package, either SuperSU or Magisk
4. Reboot
I see no reason why wouldn't this work for you

Hi,
Many thanks.
Before proceeding, should the super su app also be removed from phone?

I think, I was not able to explain, Rom is already there, but I just flashed 4.1.6 update, and root was gone.
Just wanna avoid all those data backup, restore, register all new banking apps etc, it time consuming and painful.
I am pretty sure, root can be restored, when I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery working properly.
SuperSU is still there in apps but can't open as says, root not available. However, can uninstall this if that is required.
Cheers

You can try to uninstall it through supersu app but make sure to keep you boot img. Then your phone will be fully unrooted, go into twrp and reflash supersu/magisk

Now, you can install TWRP app from Playstore and download the latest twrp-3.1.1-0-c70n.img available for us. Then, download Flashify app and flash that .img downloaded.
Thus, you'll have a TWRP installed on your phone, from wich you'll able to flash wathever you want.

I did everything but after flashing v20b and supersu v2.78 i just lost root :/ why ?
but i rooted my phone by kingoroot cuz when i rooted it on kingroot than twrp always leave a message "fail flash"
