Flashing cf auto root for sm-g900i with different firmware - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

please help,its been a while since i rooted a phone as my sgs4 lasted for years and i am a bit unsure and feel a bit noobish.
can i use cf auto root version MMB29M.G900IDVU1CPG2,whilst i am on firmware G900IDVU1CPL1.
device type is the same klte and product name is the same kltedv.
also csc code SM-G900IZWAVAU.
build no. MMB29M.G900IDVU1CPL1.
please advise and many thanks in advance

I would try it personally cf auto root flashes a stock recovery and cache partition with some changes to help you root the phone it should work but if you are worried flash the exact firmware the cf auto root file is made for

Thanks, i think im gonna try the supersu sr3 method with twrp,.read on a couple other forums and on xda that its probably the safest way

Tried twrp and su sr3. Device rooted :good:

Problem with root/ supersu

Hello Friends,
I just updated to 4.4.2 with Odin
then flashed CF Auto root with Odin
The result is: "There is no binary installed and SuperSU can not install it. This is a problem...".
I flashed TWRP already, but I have no idea how to update/install the binary in order to get proper root access
Can somebody help me please?

Sometimes u need root it 2 times. If u dont see the SuperSU icon later, you will have to factory reset ur phone :highfive:

Get philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot (install su binary) option in it

I solved the problem.
I figured out that I used an older version of CF Auto Root which (I guess) contained an older version of SuperSU. I assume that this version had an outdated binary.
Downloaded CF Auto Root again, flashed it with Odin and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help, guys!

Root Galaxy S5 G900D (SC-04f) Android 5.0 (WOEA)

I managed root access , and successfully used root . But it stoped working for some unknown reason after 1/1.30hour of root ...Anyone willing to take risk can try it. & share if something better happens . I mean if can manage root access permanently .
What I did was
- upgraded to lollipop 5.0 (WOEA) using Odin 3.10
- flashed twrp 2.8.6.0 via Odin . ( this version is not working but it kills the stock recovery )
- then flashed twrp 2.8.5.0 via Odin . ( this version works on 4.4.2 & on 5.0 also . but stock recovery replaces it during the first boot as a result it is not usable . but I killed stock recovery by flashing twrp 2.8.6.0 . In this case it worked . & I was able to boot into twrp recovery )
- Installed updated SuperSU v2.46 zip via twrp 2.8.6.0
After doing those there was super user app in the app drawer & root checker also confirmed root access.
But as I said before , root access stopped working properly after a while...
Edit : CF-auto root for SC-04f VNF9 firmware is working on WOEA firmware . I recenty flashed it . Though Xmod is not working but other root apps (like titanium backup , greenify etc. ) are working nice .

The steps I took at the first time was bit risky . :silly: And root was working good till I rebooted the device & performed a factory reset. After that root wasn't working properly.
Now I am using root access again . Root checker showing root access & using Greenify , Titanium backup etc. This time I rooted using CF-auto root for SC-04f VNF9 firmware. Instructions are on the website below....
CF-auto root page: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
XDA Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
Though this method is for SC04FOMU1VNF9 firmware (android 4.4.2) But it is working on SC04FOMU1WOEA firmware (android 5.0)
I also used factory reset option twice after rooting using CF-auto root. Still using root & haven't found any problems.
I haven't made this , so can't guaranty anything. Try at your own risk. But I think there won't be any problem if you follow the instructions properly.
little problem, different outcome
Hey Sunbir Ahammed,
Thanks for sharing your trial and errors. I'm in the same boat you were in. I had a very small instance of root success, then for some reason or other I lost it. My first attempt was with CF-auto root using Oden 3.10. It worked for a very short amount of time (Root Checker did verify). Gave it one restart and haven't been able to get root since. I even went back and tried your original TWRP methods. No dice.
SuperSu is installed after CF-auto root, but isn't usable since the root wasn't successful.
I have a feeling it is related to the stock recovery but not sure. I'm new to the root game and could use some pointers. Any ideas?
Here's the details on the device:
Galaxy S5 (SC-04F)
carrier: NTT Docomo
android 5.0 Lollipop

Hello friend,
Well, there is good news. Finally CF Auto Root has been released for a new firmware version.
CF Auto Root now supports SC04FOMU1WOJ1 firmware (the latest one available at both Samsung Kies and sammobile.com)
Here is the link for the latest firmware
And here the CF auto Root link
After upgrading the latest firmware using OTA or Samsung Kies or Odin you just need to flash the CF auto root file using Odin
Here is the detail instruction from CF auto root's website
and here is the XDA thread on CF auto root.
I have flash it just now. And will update if any common issue is found while using.
Hope this helps. :angel:

SAMSUNG SM-g900f (INTERNATIONAL)

Well I finally made the switch from Apple to android. I could no longer take the incompatibility with different toys at home. I used to work at RadioShack and I have rooted quite a few phones. I recently purchased a s5 international version, I need to root the phone for mirror play with my appradio. I have spent a few hours reading and trying, I took it to a droid friend of mine and he attempted with no joy. What info do you guys need from me to make thei happen. It says 5.0 (guessing lollipop)....... I tried rooting with Odin.
Thanks for any help guys
Flash TWRP then try flashing SuperSU.zip

Agree with previous poster, but you need to flash *specifically* twrp 2.8.7.0 klte......
For some reason, this version is the only one that works with some LP firmwares....
And make sure 'Reactivation Lock' is switched off before you start.

Thanks I'll try that version. I kno I've tried flashing twrp 10x. When I try to enter twrp mode it never works. It goes to the normal page. I'll do it again tonight when I get home so I can give very clear data regarding what I'm running into.
I have followed the instructions posted by others step by step and it either boots into recover mode as if twrp was never installed or freezes and goes into a boot mode flux. Wish I could just pay someone to root this phone..... I am beginning to think it can not be rooted..... Does anyone have a link for updated instructions bc the ones I'm using are from March 2015...... I am using Odin 3.09.
Did you try CF Auto Root first?
I don't see it mentioned
And try ODIN 3.10.7
He mentioned trying to root using Odin, I guess he tried CF method using the tar file.

Flashing TWRP from ODIN then SuperSU from TWRP is another way to root using ODIN
But also, some people have no clue what they are doing, and try flashing all sorts from ODIN - without CF actually mentioned, we are guessing
Even with Lollipop, you can still root your Galaxy S5 using CF Auto Root. It is flashable via Odin.
When you install custom ROMs or recovery like TWRP, make sure Reactivation Lock is disabled or else it will block any custom binary it would detect.

Download a stock firmware from sammobile.com, preferrably ANE2 KitKat build. Flash it via Odin then once the firmware works, go to Security settings then disable Reactivation Lock. You should be able to flash a custom recovery and boot to it then.

Hi i want to root Stock 6.0.1 mm and keep stock recovery. So do we have to flash TWRP in order to root stock 6.0.1 mm? Or just flashing the cf-root file via odin alone will give root access? Thanks

CF-root via odin will root your device and you'll keep stock recovery.
I wonder what's the point of keeping stock recovery by the way

Thanks, i tend to use stock samsung rom always, but just like root to remove crap, titanium backup and some apps that require root permissions. Btw what options on odin do we tick when flashing the cf-root file?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hmm, I guess if you never need to flash anything then keeping the original could be OK.
I'd say trwp is still useful to perform backup (entire rom at a time).
Well normally, you don't need to tick any options (the useful ones are ticked already).
So, only auto reboot and F.Reset time should be ticked.

When i had the S4 a few years ago, i had clockworkmod recovery which was great and i was familiar with, but was not ever a fan of twrp even then, so decided to stay stock with the s5 but thanks for the help mate.

Hi mate, just rooted my s5 via odin and cf-root file. However every time I reboot the phone, i get a "Set warranty bit" message in yellow at the top of the screen, I did do a wipe cache after I rooted. How do i remove that message? thanks
To my knowledge, you can't get rid of this message which was tripped by the rooting process.
But it doesn't make any difference anyway so you might as well leave it!
Then, you can run the root to the Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Android 6.0.1 and Kernel of May 31, 2016 without triggering this blessed knox 0x1?
I still have not figured out if it is feasible, and if you can do as you progress? Towelroot works?

It doesn't. I installed all these automatic upgrades and tried to use towelroot, but it said, that the device isn't supported. :crying: :crying: :crying:
do i need to unlock the boooader before or after
do i need to unlock the boooader before or after?
or not at all?
obviously the first file that i need to flash (twrp) is the custom recovery.
do i unlock the bootloader before this?

Help me root s4 please

I've tried every recomended root without pc app for my 19505 s4 on 5.0.1. I've rooted a few phones, so i know about the settings to use, but nothing is working. Also tried knox disabler with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
check cf auto root

You can also flash twrp with Odin and flash supersu with twrp.
