Good afternoon guys,
i have a big issue with my galaxy s5 SM-G900S (korean version). I bought it as a refurbished device. Knox was on 0x1 so something may have been modified.
It came with the stock (?!) android 4.4.2 from march14. I tried to update but it returned a registration error. Probably because knox is 0x1
In any case, I activated usb debugging and tried to root the phone using cfautoroot and the corresponding root file: CF-Auto-Root-klteskt-klteskt-smg900s.zip which I still assume to be the correct one.
I used odin for flashing. The device was properly connected (blue).
Everything seemed to go smooth until the phone restart when it said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I tried several times with both odin 3.07 and 3.09 but i cannot pass this step. I also tried the method to untick auto reboot, shut the phone down manually and boot into recovery mode but it failed.
This means I am now stuck in the bootloop. I can access download mode, but i cannot reach recovery mode. Also the phone is not recognized by the computer if i try to connect it to adb, kies etc. Odin seems to connect properly still.
Alright how should i proceed now?? My actual target is to flash a custom rom. I will need to go for a dirty flash now correct? Should I flash a stock rom with odin? If yes, which one?
Please support me a bit, I am very frustrated on this topic, especially cause I still dont realize my mistake......
Merry Christmas and greets from Bavaria, Germany.

Flash the stock firmware to get out of boot loop. After flashing the stock firmware, everything should be working fine and booting again. Instead of using CF auto root, flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash the SuperSU zip.

Alright, Im back to stock android 4.4.2 now. Works perfect, aside from registration. If I click on "update now" it shows: SKT-USIM required.
Can someone link a detailed guide for flashing cm13? I checked the web but i still dont entirely understand.
In any case I do not want to risk going into a tricky situation once more.....
Thanks in advance.

Ok so I will be giving you guys a tutorial on how to root the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition running the latest version of android 5.1.1 specifically the SM-P600, SM-P601, & P605. I will be using the CF- AutoRoot By Chainfire.
Here are images if you need help
Preparations
Download the CF- AutoRoot File for your device
P600
P601
P605
When the download is complete, you have to extract the zip file
Make sure you have Android Debugging Enabled on your device
Boot into Odin/Bootloader mode by holding Vol Down+Power+Home at the same time, then press Vol up when the triangle appears
Procedure
Open the folder you extracted the autoroot files in, right click on the Odin 3 Application file and run as administrator
Now select the AP button in Odin, and select the autoroot file
Now connect your device to your computer, You should see Added in the log, and the box on top should turn blue
Important Make sure that under options only Auto Reboot, & F. Reset Time is ticked, un check everything else
Now press Start, your device should reboot, and you should see a red android pirate and some commands running
Don't worry if your device reboots a couple of times its normal
You can un-plug you device when it boots, and Odin should say pass, after that exit Odin, and your done!
Go in your apps, and you should see SuperSU, update the binaries if needed, to make sure root was successful, download root checker from the play store, and verify root
Your all done! You have successfully rooted your device!
Troubleshooting
If your device is stuck in a boot loop, hold vol up+Power and scroll down to Reset Data, and confirm, your device will be completely wiped, you can try to root again and see if it is successful
If a factory reset did not work you have to re-flash your firmware via Odin here is a tutorial on how to do it
If you get a message 'Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing' while booting repeat the procedure, but instead of the CF AutoRoot file select the stock recovery file and flash it. Once your device reboots it should be fine.
If you have any problems please comment below, and i will try to help you through them, and Thanks! Happy Rooting!
After installing CF Root, Superuser.apk is not installed and root access is available to every app without notification. No Superuser app is being installed. If I install 2.52 beta or 2.46 or the play store version, root becomes broken. Can't figure out why. System: DBT P605XXU1EOI5_P605DBTEOJ1_P605XXU1EOI5 and NEE P605XXU1EOI5_P605OXAEOI5_P605XXU1EOI5. Tried with fresh install, of course.

Did that with 2.66 Beta - worked (for) now. Will report back if any further problems occur. Had to perform a data, Dalvik, cache, system wipe, reinstall stock, then CF root. Then it worked out, finally. Just deleting system / caches wasn't enough. Weird.
I still can not find where to download the stock firmware. All those sites either need premium or broken link. Anyone can help? stock firmware for P601. Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Pandur2000, thanks alot. In fact, I'm still figuring out how to use this tools. If its coming from Sammobile, I'm on my 6th attempt to download the firmware. All of them disconnect when I downloaded approx 1.2GB (total 1.4GB). Its frustrating but I have no other choice now :crying::crying::crying::crying:

If you're downloading from Sammobile, my advice is to use a Download Manager. I'm currently using Download Accelerator Plus, which not only allows to Pause/Resume downloads from SamMobile (it will ask you for your login credentials to SamMobile when you start de download), but it will also try to connect to multiple servers to download the files faster. I'm currently downloading the firmware for my Galaxy Note 2014 LTE from their servers at 1,5MB/s after having needed to reboot my PC
Hope it helps
P.S. I'm assuming you're using Windows, but if you're using another OS google for download managers for your OS and I'm certain you'll find something that'll help you

First time didn't let the pass message appear on Odin before disconnecting the cable (my bad - been doing this for so long that sometimes overlook some steps xD) and the SuperSU app wasn't installed.
After factory resetting the device and redoing the process a second time (paying attention to what was doing xD) it worked like a charm!
Thanks man ;D
I rooted my SM-P605 with latest CF-AutoRoot 5.1.1 but I can see something wrong.
SuperSu app is correctly installed and working (I'm using Seeder and tried Xposed) but:
- cannot give root permission to Clean Master (every time I try it fails)
- each time I reboot TWRP it asks me to install SuperSu.

Thanks, worked perfectly for me using a P605.

It works (I've got a P605) but while I had been rooting it stuck on the Samsung logo so I had to download and install the stock firmware again and repeat the process of granting administrator rights.
Open up su and tells me it cannot find su binary, uninstalled it from play store and open again and same issie.
I have a refurbished LTE version from Tmobile. Will this work with my model P607t? I have read that the P605 model is almost the same as the P607T. Also heard root breaks S Pen functionality.

Worked flawlessly, except that on my first try there is no SuperSU app so I repeated the process again. Worked.
Thanks!
Am I reading correctly that this does not work on Verizon's version? SM-P605v is the official model.
worked fine on p601 but stuck with twrp
i followed all the steps and rooted fine on p601...but when i tried to install twrp recovery it is installing and saying pass on odin but when tried to open twrp it is getting bootloop with "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" i tried autoroot again ...so please tell me how to install twrp

Hi everybody.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (6) 2016 (SM-A510F) with android 6.0.1.
I tried to root with CF-Auto Root and did everything as supposed to. But when the phone reboot it says always recovery is not seandroid enforcing.
So I did the same procedure again with the ODIN always and I unchecked the AUTO Reboot. But now ODIN says with green letters RESET. Did i just reset my phone?
I flashed the same file. I followed the procedure to the letter as said in the CF-AutoRoot thread. But I can;t understand whats wrong. I always use to root my phones but was Sony not Samsung. :crying:
What can I do?
The phone now suppose to be 6.0.1 or 5 android version? If it reseted it fully i mean.
Plus my knox warranty void number is 1. So that means that the first time worked but i didnt know what to do after that message.
Is the Ashyx method [TWRP 3.0.2-1][ROOT] GALAXY A5(2016) - sm-a510 - UPDATE 5/4/2016 capable of rooting my phone now? Or i have to put the stock rom inside and after try to root?
Save me please! I hope i didnt brick it.
Thanks a lot guys. I hope for a quick response! xx

If your device is bricked and not getting it back with Odin, try out the smart switch from samsung, there youll have EMERGENCY RECUPERATION, which leaves your device as it was.

Hello everyone,
I was thinking about installing Lineage OS on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9515 (Value Edition) currently running Stock Android Version 5.0.1 without root.
Is the version of Lineage OS and TWRP I found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-cm14-1-galaxy-s4-jfvelte-gt-i9515-t3534552 appropriate for that purpose?
Now, my confusion arises from the fact that different guides seem to give incomplete or even contradictory instructions on how to approach that. As a first step, I need to install a custom recovery, such as TWRP:
Does this require my device to be rooted?
Some guides apparently require my bootloader to be unlocked; Is this necessary? If so, how do I do that?
Other guides suggest that I use Odin. Is this the correct approach? Does my bootloader need to be unlocked for that method? Is a root required?
Anything else I should pay attention to?
Thank you very much in advance
You need to find a guide for your phone
Different phones have different processes
For example Motorola phones require you to unlock the bootloader where as Samsung phones Iv worked with you don't
Some devices you have to root first before you can flash twrp while others you flash twrp first then root
For most Samsung phones around the age of yours you can root using CF-Auto-Root
This is done via odin and all you do is put your phone in download mode load the img file into odin & flash
The same is true for flashing twrp
Here are the files for your phone
CF-Auto-Root
TWRP
Flash each image in odin

What do you mean by brick?
Does the twrp boot?
You must boot twrp straight after it's flashed - if you don't and your phone starts to boot you need to reflash it (once booted to twrp for the first time the recovery will stick)
Also if you swipe to allow modifications in twrp your rom may not boot unless you disable dm-verity - this can be done with a root zip eg CF-Auto-Root or magisk
Remember you may need to do other steps like enabling adb debugging & oem unlock before using CF-Auto-Root
You also may need to root before flashing twrp
That is the twrp for the S4 GT-I9515 - if you have a different variant it will not work
If you have a different model of S4 check the twrp website to see if there is an official version
I don't own your device - I'm sure there's guides that will you step by step process if you Google

Flashing a recovery should not brick your device - you are just replacing stock recovery with a custom one - your phone should boot regardless but anyway
I assume you have enabled USB debugging - enabled oem unlock (if it's on your device) and flashed CF-Auto-Root first
I also assume you are flashing the tar image in the AP section of odin (you may need to Unzip to get filename.tar)
If you have done all the above search Google for a step by step guide for your device
Since I don't own this device I can't offer anymore support than that

Long as it's the correct firmware for the device no reason why it wouldn't flash
Check download mode & make sure that the model number matches the firmware
If the firmware is also failing to flash I would guess there is a problem with your setup rather than the files (assuming the files are correct)
