you guys are posting preloaded firmwares with root. why not just put a root file online for everyone to have? i dont understand why would you specially make a preloaded firmware with root.
Also, when I extracted the Preloaded root firmware using cmd prompt, it only has one .img file called "System.img" when it should basically provide me with all img and bin files. I cant even extract root file from this firmware. its very clever but you dont have to hide the root file from public when you are actually providing us with the preloaded root firmware.
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME!!

Sorry,but you can't root Core Prime G361F yet. The only way to do it, is to use a pre-rooted stock rom.
But there are only a couple of them so far. I have tried everything, and I have read tons of threads.
We have to wait until someone figures it out.

So if I have this phone but with g361fxxu1apc2 firmware can I still flash one of these on my phone, and will it work?

Yes, you can flash your phone using a firmware for another region,but it must be for SM-G361F.

Now you are talking about the sim-card. It has nothing to do with flashing your phone.

So you want to root the original rom
It is easy
Flash twrp into the phone
Put supersu flashable zip in the sdcard
Flash the zip with twrp

Hello sir
Follow my steps for successful TWRP/ROOT
1.)Download and install Samsung USB Drivers
2.)Download TWRP 3.0.2.0
3.)Download Odin
4.)Download SuperSU.zip file
For download links message me or add me on facebook facebook. com/fRoD.cs
After you complete this 4 steps shutdown your phone and enter into Download Mode
Volume Down + Power + Home
Select continue by Volume Up key
Now connect phone with usb cable into pc and run Odin as administrator
Click on AP box and select the twrp.tar file you download before
Go to Options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, make sure that only F, Reset Time is checked and click start
After successfully installed TWRP , remove the battery, put it back and make sure that you go into recovery mode immediately!!! Volume Up + Power + Home
If you boot up the phone it will restore the original recovery. Thats why you need to go to recovery mode first.
First time you boot in recovery it will be shown a TWRP screen asking to allow modifications to system partition. Swipe to accept that.
Now select Install option and select SuperSU.zip file. By default it should be in Download folder, and swipe to start install
After installing click reboot and your SM-G361F will be rooted. You should have SuperSU app in the menu

Hi guys,
how do you root on this phone?
What is the file to program with Odin? Is not there a guide?
Thank you

the reason why i want to root my device is because i want to install TWRP and flash custom rom and kernels. well i found a way to install TWRP without ROOT. in case you only want too root your device try flashing custom Kernel which is ROOT ready eg Talexop (my personal favorite) or follow THIS STEPS after flashing TWRP
To install TWRP (no ROOT required)
>Open ODIN
>Press AP and choose THIS .IMG
>Put your Phone on Donwload Mode ( POWER - HOME - VOL DOWN)
>START
Now you can access TWRP (POWER - HOME - VOL UP) and Flash Custom ROMs and KERNELs:good:
CHEERS:highfive:

What do KingRoot and SuperSU say, after you open them?
Start SuperSU first. If it doesn't complain, get an System App Remover from PlayStore, grant it root permission through SuperSU and remove KingRoot.

When I open SuperSU it says "the SU executable must be updated" but when I press "continue" the installaton fails and the app closed.
I gave it root permissions from KingRoot (which works perfectly) but nothing has changed and I can't uninstall KingRoot because SuperSU doesn't works..have you some ideas to resolve this problem?

Then the script seems not to work with your Phone...
Sure it's a SM-G350 (Without any letters or numbers after the 0)?
If yes, there is a second method to install SuperSU (I'll add it to my guide later):
1) Uninstall SuperSU and unroot through KingRoot
2) Download the supersu.zip from here and place it on the root of your sdcard
3) Download the twrp flashable tar from here
4) Download and extract Odin as described in the guide
5) Start your device in Download Mode and connect it to your PC
6) Start Odin and load up the recovery.tar as AP file
7) UNTICK Auto-Reboot
8) Press Flash to Flash the recovery to your phone
9) After it had finished, disconnect your device from PC and remove the battery to shut it down
10) Start your device in Recovery mode (press Vol Up+Home button+Power Button and hold them, release the power button when Galaxy Core Plus splash screen shows up)
11) Now your device should start up TWRP (if stock recovery or the normal System is booting, go back to step 5)
12) Press "Install ZIP"
13) In a bar above your files there should read "Internal Storage" at the moment. Press on it and select "External Storage"
14) Now select the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and press (or swipe) Install
15) After the zip installed and your device reboots, you should be rooted now

Yes, it's a SM-G350 and practically with this method first I install a custom recovery and then from here I root my phone. I'll try this way, thanks! :good:

How can I root Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 with Android 7.0

So, I'd like to root my phone, but I've never done something like this. I've once rooted a phone with KingRoot, but I don't wanna do that again, since that's a pretty shady app. I'd like to root it the normal way, with SuperSU or something.
Also, I don't wanna lose any of my data. I know that anything can go wrong, but I'd just like a method that generally doesn't wipe your phone.
Thanks for any help

No you just need to unlock the OEM in developer settings and go to download mode to flash the recovery. You will lose guaranty but no data

If you want to play games like Pokemon go or Super Mario run, you will need magisk instead of superSU

Now, I followed the instructons, and I was able to root my phone succesfully. (Thanks )
In case someone reading this thread wants to know I used:
Odin 3.10.7
twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a510_mm_1816
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
It all worked fine, no data loss, no wifi/camera error, no nothing, but when I turned off my phone, It wouldn't boot back anymore, It said "custom binary is blocked by FRP Lock"
As I've read, this is because I turned off OEM Unlock after rooting, but I'm not sure about this. Appearantly, if I'd leave it on it'd not cause this problem
Since then, my phone is working again, I just had to flash the Stock ROM, and I (fortunatly) didn't lose any data.
But obviously now my root is gone too. Could someone who has tried this confirm that it indeed works (boots up) normally if I leave OEM Unlock on forever?

Well, that's what the other guy sent, I had to choose one of them. BTW, do you always have OEM Unlock turned on, or have you turned it off. If you have it on, I'm pretty sure it's not the TWRP version, it's that I turned OEM off. If it boots without OEM on for you, then I guess I screwed it up, and I should have used the other version

Well, If you want to turn off the OEM unlocking and be still rooted. You need to flash stock recovery after rooting. I've never tried it cause I don't care that much. Anyway you don't loose anything if you end up with frp lock. Again flash stock ROM you are good to go. And I've A5-510FD android 7.0 rooted. You may also want to backup to your Samsung account in case you mistakenly format your phone you can restore. That's what I always do.

The best way is to flash Cf Auto root that is compatible with your device using Odin PC.
Download a exact version of CF AUTO ROOT for model number of your device.
Run Odin on your pc and thenConnect your phone to Pc with usb and then go to download mode(Turn off your phone>hold Volume down and Home button and Power button together, a new page will be shown press volume Up for confirmation.
Then press on AP In Odin and select the CF AUTO ROOT file and then press start the process will be started.
Be aware that in this way you will lose your warranty for ever due to Knox warranty void will be tripped and there is no way to return it to back.

On the contrary. The best way in my opinion is flashing SuperSU with TWRP.
The reason is TWRP is your safety net should anything go wrong. You will always be able to boot to recovery regardless of the Bootable state of the device.
The whole device can be backed up and restored in minutes as long as /data encryption is not in force.
Then SuperSU can be flashed.
While CF-AUTOROOT is the goto root for simplicity and beginners it's not the preferred way.
Root is rather pointless without a custom recovery to go with it imo.
Once you've rooted the stock recovery becomes dead in the water and useless.

hello everybody!
I'm new here and want to root my Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) and try some custom ROM.
Here is my phones details:
-Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A510F)
-Android 7.0
-Security patch: 1 April 2017
Also on Settings > Software Update, I have set manual update and there is a notification about one new software updates (last check 11/08/2018).
Do you know if its a Operation System update or just a security patch?
Should I do that update or will cause any problems with rooting and custom ROM?
What TWRP should I use and what custom ROM?
Any good guide?
Thanks in advance

Enable "Developer Options" on your phone and enable "OEM Unlock" (Don't disable it ever.)

Go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Download the latest Magisk file (Currently it's 16.0 / 16.7 if you want to use beta 14/8/2018)
Download Odin
Boot your phone into download mode (Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button)
Plug your device to your computer and open Odin
Go to "Options" tab in Odin and disable "Auto Restart"
Select the TWRP file you have downloaded (Click AP!!!)
Start...
When it's done DON'T BOOT TO SYSTEM YET, boot into recovery!!! (Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button)
Now you should have booted into TWRP
Go to "Install" tab and flash the Magisk file you downloaded
Boot into your system.
You have successfully rooted and installed TWRP to your device. (Hopefully)

That about the software update notification?
Do you know if its a Operation System update or Security patch update?
Should I run it, before root and install a custom ROM or better leave like this?

That's because you have twrp installed, otas on every device won't install if you have a custom recovery. The only way I know to remove twrp is to reflash the rom with mi flash tool, or flash a twrp flashable stock rom without flashing the twrp installer.

TWRP is not installed permanently well, i just boot TWRP with the command ! ... and also with the file .. connected to PC ,,, well, how i know is that when i hold down volume down and power button it shows *no commands* this is why there is no custom recovery installed ! when i searched xda deeply i found that if the TWRP is temporarily installed then, unrooot it and when you install it the ota update will install !

I thought volume down + power enters fastboot mode. Volume up + power enters recovery. Anyways, if you dont have TWRP installed, then you have to reset your phone.

Well, as long as you didn't flash twrp installer zip, and the ota still fails, then your only solution is to reset your phone.

You probably made a mistake and made changes to the system partition. A common mistake is to start twrp and mount the partition as read/write. Even if you did not make any changes, the partition info will be changed and any OTA will fail from that point on.
