press thakns if i help you hehe, i want to make a tutorial but i think i cant upload images yet
Thanks a lot. Another thing, does using Odin removes all data & apps?
nope, you dont need to do any wipe
Alright. Thanks a lot. Another thing, is yours Marshmallow too?
I did everything as you said. I pulled out the battery after flashing TWRP, but when I tried to go to recovery menu. My phone keeps getting stuck at the 'Samsung GALAXY Note 4' logo and there's a red message in the top left corner that says, "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING."
which twrp version your flashed?
im at mm u1dpf1
twrp-3.0.2-0-treltexx.img.tar
The problem's solved. Not sure what caused it at first. But I got the TWRP flashing done. Took me 3 tries.
might some drive missing? i did at the fist time, i dont read any guide i just remember a time i root an samsung mega 5.8, and use this method, i have asked to how to root my note 4 and no one help me, so i decide to take the risk and try it, and i done whit it, now enjoy the root acces bro
Tnx a lot for your help. I appreciate it!
Hi all,
How are you?
I've been looking at these forums for most of the day, though am still quite confused. If someone could assist to clarify it would be much appreciated (as I would like to avoid to brick my phone).
I'm currently running Stock Android, Marshmallow version 6.0.1 with the 1 November 2016 Security Patch.
The model of my phone SM-G900I (Australian edition).
So I've come across the following links with the instructions on how to root and install recovery, though quite confusing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2699648
Recovery Query?
I understand that you need to download the Samsung Drivers and Odin.
I've downloaded the TWRP files for my phone - twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar and twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar.asc
Do I need to use the twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar.asc file at all?
Root Query
Is the towelroot method of rooting the S5 still relevant. The reason I ask, is that when I had posted an initial question on the XDA assist, I was advised that this may not work.
If the towelroot method is no longer relevant, would the CF-Autoroot method below work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2696537
If neither of the above methods work I have seen mentions of "flashing root" via TWRP.
Are there any known instructions on how to do that on XDA or any other website?
Or is it just a matter of obtaining the superSU zip file from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ and flashing it?
The other information seems straight forward re using the Samsung Tool to backing up the device and the EFS .
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
just flash the .img file in download mode, and dont use the asc file at all. also dont use twrp 3.0.2-2, just use 3.0.2 (not 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-2 as they can be pretty buggy). Towelroot has long since become irrelevant back in the 5.0 days unfortunately so all you need to do is find the appropriate supersu.zip file and put it on your phones sd card (either internal or external), boot into recovery an install that zip via TWRP then reboot. Should be good to go. The classic "root via recovery" method

1. Plug in your phone and let the drivers load.
If phone unrecognized then head to Playstore you can find loads of apps for drivers
2.unplug your phone and turn it off
3.Load odin.
Some versions of Odin are outdated. So watch for that.
4.Holding your turned off phone. Hold the volume down power and home buttons. Done correctly it should bring you to a page saying custom Roms can damage your blah blah. Volume up to continue down to reboot. Plug your phone in then Push volume up if you feel ready to Join us Oh Padawan.
Now I am sorry for the lengthy information, most likely you have already gotten to this point, but I just want to make the same page for you and future readers. No point in asking a bunch of potentially irrelevant questions when one explanation is sufficient.
5. Odin should find your phone which will be represented by a lit up colored square on the left side indicating a Com:value# which number is of little consequence just tells you which port it found it at. Do not dwell on this.
6. Using an extraction program such as .7z take your CF auto root .Tar file, not the .Asc, and extract. You should be able to find an file with ap in the extension.
7.Take the path from the URL bar of this window including the name of the ap file and copy it over to Odin. In Odin you will see the place to put it is represented by AP.
8. CLICK START AND WAIT WITH JEOPARDY MUSIC.
9. IT MAY REBOOT A FEW TIMES BUT UNTIL IT SAYS success OR FAIL IN ODIN DO NOT TOUCH.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 for twrp.img
10. Now taking this was a success turn your phone off. Unplug and holding volume UP power and home Gets you into twrp recovery. If all is well you can reboot into system. Ignore the kernel warning.
^^^^^ theres the long explanation LoL ^^^^^^^^ i disagree with step 9, but meh
Hi all,
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
So it appears that you can perform the task in 2 ways, ie
* By initially flashing TWRP first using Odin (whilst phone is in download mode), then running the TWRP and then copying over the supersu file to the sd card, then flashing this.
Or alternatively, following the above steps which first
* roots the phone by using Odin within download mode and the "cf auto root" file. Then once again using odin and flashing the TWRP file via odin.
This is my understanding.
Please let me know if I've misunderstood, otherwise thanks all. I'll be giving it a try soon.
My eventual goal is to install the Resurrection Remix Rom, so fingers crossed.

the cf auto root file usually isnt necessary, nor is flashing supersu really as the newer twrps have the root function built right in. Itll ask you if you want to enable superuser rights the first time you boot into it. Just swipe right and its rooted. Alternatively, flashing supersu from within twrp or the cf auto root also work. CF is the acronym for the dev ChainFire, he is the man (or she, and conversely "the woman" or whatever LOL)!! But the crux of what you need is twrp installed, from there youre usually set. Get rooted, make a nand of your stock setup and flash away. Also, id make sure to download the stock tar.md5 file of your phones firmware in case all goes awry (or to hell in a handbasket or enter clever euphemism for stuff going bad here) so you can flash the stock tarball in Odin if you get stuck in an endless bootloop and your stock restore file doesnt work. Also, when resoring from AOSP to TouchWiz or vice versa, does require a few boxes to be checked for it to work, but it happens all the time. Happy flashing and feel free to ask away if you run into anything man!
Thanks all for clarifying.
I did have some difficulties along the way though I did successfully install twrp.
So I downloaded one of the latest versions of odin on mums computer. Laiche the twrp tar file in the ap section. Loaded it then restarted the device. Ran recovery though it was still the default android recovery ie it appeared as though nothing had changed. I looked at another forum which suggested to turn ooff the auto reboot option in odin and perform a battery pull and then launch directly into twrp. This actually worked after much agony.
I then loaded a superuser zip and flashed it onto the phone.
Rebooted confirmed that the phone was rooted.
I then relaunched the twrp recovery and ran a nand? backup of my device. Then I attempted to install a custom rom ie resurrection remix. Unfortunately it did load though the screen appeared to freeze after boot and was therefore unusable. Thank goodness the restoring of the backup worked.
I'll reattempt the installation of a custom rom very soon. Fingers crossed.
Thanks.
A bit about this post.
I just want to share the links that was useful to me when I was working on my girlfriends phone. Its an awesome device.
I gathered the links and added some troubleshooting tips that helped me out. I hope it does help you too. Enjoy.

If the above tips did not work for you, its time to take things to the next level. If the Galaxy S7 is the only device in your Wi-Fi network to suffer from slow speeds, you can try changing the DNS server used on the handset.
For this, you will first have to make the device forget the existing Wi-Fi network. Then, tap on its name to join again, but before you enter the password, tap on ‘Show advanced options.’ Now proceed to tap ‘IP Settings’ and select ‘Static’ from the list. Leave other IP settings as they are, and simply enter the DNS server you’d like to use in the DNS text field area. You can try using Google DNS first (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222) to see if they fix the Wi-Fi woes on your S7 or not.

You are now running systemless root
Refer to MaxLee Video on Rooting S7 with Magisk - Guide
Did you manage to root the G930W8 on nougat 7.0 build with this method? I've had nothing but problems attempting to root for the last few days. Tried cf-auto root and this magisk method early on in my attempts with no success. I've just fine a full clean build flash and restore and would really like to root but am worried I'm just going to get no where again and spend hours getting back to where I'm at now...

Yes. Refer to second post. I'm now running the latest nougat with magiskv14 systemless root. Its better that way, I can still use snapchat and banking applications.
What was the problem you are having?

Having trouble as well.
I get message "integrity check failed" after flashing magisk via twrp a step 11 then makes me reset the phone but because of the custom recovery it only bootloops.
Then i restart the whole process again only to stop at step 11.
Is there a step i'm missing?
Start all over again, but on step 11 follow this.
Try it this way:
When you boot up to TWRP, swipe allow modification. Flash MagiskV14.zip, then if it says install TWRP app, press "do not install".
If you have problem seeing files wipe DATA and then reboot to recovery again using TWRP, select SDCARD as storage then flash MagiskV14.zip
I tried it but i accidentally let the phone reboot after flashing twrp and it failed the integrity check and started bootlooping. I entered recovery and grabbed the log which i attached here.
So I did the steps again but used this steps from the other guide for exynos models
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If you want to use Systemless DevBase, then do not swipe. Keep it as read only.
Go to Wipe and click on format data. Type "yes" and it will format.
Now go back to home and click on "Reboot" then click on "Recovery" Option.
Then went from step 11 here and what you said to flash magisk and it worked.
My phone is finally debloated.
I tried your steps many times but everytime it's failing. Everytime it fails when installing "system". I've tried with different CSC version firmwares but it failed with each one of them. I', 100% sure that it is G930W8 S7 Flat because it was running on the same version of custom ROMs.

Same here... I tried it on two different stock roms with no luck.
I almost soft bricked my s7 which was working perfectly before applying the patch. It was giving me dm-verity error at boot...
I was able to flash it back and make it working using full stock rom.
I highly recommend readers to NOT apply the above Magisk Root on their G930W8 (S7).

sorry if this is in the wrong section i have galaxy s7 its on android 7.0 my power button is broken doesnt work at all i normally dont let my phone power down completley cause of it and it has ive tried rebooting the phone usin volume down and then plugging into computer and it just brings up the charge screen is there any other ways i can get this phone powered on even if i have to download something on my computer i will pleaqse help if possible
Have you tried these suggestions?

I just want to confirm this, since it's not explicitly mentioned in the post... When you root it trips KNOX, which locks you out from Disconnect Pro, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pay. Does this also mean that Android pay will not work either? Or does this method allow for Android pay to work?
If not, is there a workaround yet?

There are many reports on the XDA forums that Android Pay works with Magisk systemless root and with tripped Knox on S7 (as opposed to Samsung Pay which will not work once Knox is tripped).

can you clarify(link to) what combination of steps you used to achieve a successful root? I havent attempted again since my last attempt but it sounds like you had some success. If you'd share it'd be really helpful and appreciated. Would really like to get root back on my phone
also just to clarify, I'm on nougat 7.0 with security patch Nov 1, 2017

If its first time TWRP installation then you need to Format data (Caution: Format data will format the Phone internal storage and you need to backup files first if you have in phone storage like photos video and etc) After formatting data it Will allow to read and write the data partition). Further once you Flash TWRP then Super SU or Magist (Root) is compulsory to boot normal unless its bootloop
Any of you recommend holding off on the root till the Oreo update? Also, does rooting change the kernel to a different one? I wanna avoid battery/performance issues if I can by staying on the stock kernel.

Forewarning, I'm super novice at phones but am pretty good with computers (can program and such).
I recently tried to root my phone using CF-Auto-Root, I used odin and all appeared to be a success, I unplugged the phone from the pc and it went through a black screen white writing and a red android logo and did a few other things.
once rebooted there was an unusual blue screen and my phone came up with a message saying something wasn't recognised and I had to wipe all data and reset to factory.
once all this was done, my phone is showing as unrooted by SuperSU and Root Checker and I am now receiving a security notice about unauthorised actions.
I have since "installed"(please advise me of a better word) TWRP and used no-Verity-opt.... but when installing Magisk I get an Error 1
I am not sure where to go from here. Please help/advise or tell me my post is in the wrong spot.:good:

ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU HAVE TWRP INSTALLED (which you obviously have):
Either you download a recovery flashable SuperSu from here or a recovery flashable Magisk from here directly to your device.
Than you just boot to recovery(hold down volume up, bixby and power buttons while turned off) go to "Install" in TWRP and search for the file you just downloaded (usually /sdcard/Downloads/ or something) just wait till the flash process is done and reboot.

During the flash process using the flashable Magisk I get an error:
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

This is where I'm stuck, I don't how how to solve this error.
it says above the error
! boot image patched by other programs ' Referring to CF-Auto-Root which didn't work
So I guess my question is how do I restore my stock boot image after using CF in order to flash Magisk instead.

AFAIK you have two options now:
Flash stock TouchWiz (plenty of tutorials on the forum) and install twrp afterwards, then install Magisk via TWRP
Flash custom rom like Renovate ICE or any other from the forum directly via TWRP. I believe all of them are (at least have the option to) pre-rooted with either Magisk or SuperSu
As your SuperSu doesn't recognize your root you can't unroot with it and (someone please correct me if im wrong) not even a full wipe does unroot/does anything with boot.img

Thanks, I was going to custom ROM eventually anyway so I may as well bite the bullet, and Renovate ICE seems to be the best out there, thanks for the advice.
I think you are right, it was my thought that because I used CF-Auto-ROOT no backup of the original/stock Boot.img was ever created giving me no point of return. god knows what actually went wrong with the root. I shouldn't have been lazy and avoided the TWRP step in the first place.
Again, thanks for the help, I am Downloading Renovate ICE now, only 1.5 hours to go, yay Australian internet.
Hello guys, I need help Details as follows:
My phone is the Samsung Tab S5e SMT-725, it's bootloader unlocked, rooted, and have no problem with it.
I updated Magisk via the app.
When I power it down and press Power + Volume Up to start it on rooted, it refuses to enter rooted state and showed the error on like the attached picture.
I can reboot the system and the tablet works fine, just no root
I installed ADB on my PC, but I havent do anything with it
Am I screwed and need to redo the whole rooting process? Or I need to have magisk-patched file Odin-ed back to the phone, resetting it? I have no problem resetting my phone since 100% of it's data is a copy.
I never throw away any files I made during my root, but it was a little more than a year ago. Here's what I have:
magisk_patched.tar (dated 2020-12-16) containing:
meta-data [folder]
fota.zip
boot.img
recovery.img
vbmeta.img
Original unpatched contents of magisk_patched.tar
AP_T725XXU1CTK1_CL20003519_QB35692448_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS10.tar
SM-T725_1_20201117125933_ry6ok2cycg_fac.zip
Odin3 v3.13.1
Frija
MagiskManager-v8.0.3.apk
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe (dated 2020-12-15)
The guide I followed most likely this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-tab-s5e-sm-t720-root-instructions-release-1-0.3947806/
If there's anymore info I miss, I'll edit here. Thanks in advance!

No, I Odin'd the entire thing again and wiped the data. Root is back XD
