Which version did you try?

The one downloaded by GooManager.
I suppose that one won't work since I'm on a n9005 root?

I've seen goomanager screw up some phones on few posts recently. Just download this and flash through odin.

How can I tell if twrp was installed successfully?
Figured it out, it worked successfully.
If I want to download custom ROMs(Cyanogenmod specifically), what version should I be looking for?

(REQ) Samsung Galaxy A8 SM-A800I (Root) SOLVED

I've searched and tried too many methods none of them worked.
I even broke my device (soft break) while I was trying to do a root using a method for SM-A800F model, and I had a really bad day.
I couldn't restore my device using stock rom it failed on writing boot.img step (using odin).
I had to extract boot.img from the stock firmware (using winrar) then creating a new boot.tar using this tool tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad to fix the problem.
I've tried too many "one click root apps" for both PC and Android (king root, Frama, mobogenie, root genius, rootx, few more) also none of them worked.
any help would be great
Thanks
SOLVED
I managed to get my phone rooted by following the instructions on this reply

I've got this response from RVR, But I'm not convinced that this solution will work, because the recovery is not for this device.
it's for Samsung Galaxy Alpha which has 5.0.2 android version, mine is 5.1.1.
I think he just opened androidfilehost forum and searched for A8 and got a file for wrong device:
androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=A8
Here's the link ..
Select in the AP tab of odin
Uncheck the auto reboot button
flash
reboot straight into recovery
Try flashing the SuperSU zip .. : download.chainfire.eu/SuperSU
Keep Stock firmware handy to flash in case the zip flash fails

nope as far as I know,and I'll not try it, because I'm pretty sure that it will not work and it will soft break the device because of the reasons that I mentioned before.

Samsung Galaxy A500-FU, 6.0.1 root is possible?

Hi, i want to root my phone after i got the 6.0.1 android there is any way to do it? i searched in the threats but i only find for 5.0 android?

I've heard something about 'systemless root' by Chainfire. But haven't tried it yet. Here is a link:
http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/
If anyone has any luck with rooting Galaxy A5(2015) running on 6.0.1, please let us know.

What is twrp? What is flashing? How do you do? WHAT?! People, please help me, "try this one" doesn't help when you don't even know how to root in the first place!

Hello Guys.
Yesterday I wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 (Official) with CF-AUTO-ROOT. But when I try to root it with Odin, it stucks at the Samsung Galaxy A5 Logo and says "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I fixed it with Smart Switch. But when I reinstall the firmware, it's on Android 5.1.1. Then I tried to root it with 5.1.1 and it stucks again at "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing". What did I wrong and how can I root it right.
Thanks, Christoph

Rooting error on Samsung Galaxy A7 running marshmallow 6.0.1

HI to all,
I have this problem with rooting my galaxy a7 running marshmallow 6.0.1 using Odin, precisely with cf-auto-root file.
Before some of you tell me standard tips, i already have done rooting process while it was running lollipop, so i know the procedure.
I downloaded the correct cf-auto-root file from chainfire website, but every time I tried to root with that file, it shows me the error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing", freezing my phone at Samsung Galaxy A7 logo. What's more illogical, when i add the old cf-auto-root file for lollipop, then it turns on the phone normally, even it is applied official marshmallow update(my device status: Official). So, if you can help me with this, i want to root it, mostly due bloatware and battery problems. Thanks

Hello, good sirs, I would just like to ask on how do you do this? I'm quite new with this way of rooting, and a step-by-step process can be nice. If not, can you refer me to a website that has?
I tried rooting my phone using the CF-Root mode, but got soft-bricked too.

Hi there ppl,
After try to root, my A700F is looping with the "Seandroid Enforcing" error...! It went all OK at ODIN... Can't understand why this happened..!
Can some1 help?
Thanks in advance.
