Can someone please help me root my phone, I have tried everything and have been at this for hours and every method I try does not seem to work for me. I tried kingroot which no matter the version says method unavailable, and using odin always gives me the same error Fail(AUTH) and on the phone it shows Secure Check Fail: Recovery
I have tried researching this error but nothing could be found relating to my situation.
NOTE: I am running Android Version 5.1.1

Ok I have looked all over the web and tried many things but am not able to boot. When I do try to boot I get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." message.
What I had done so far to get to this point is I rooted my phone with Kingo and that worked fine. I had not updated my phone with the OTA update but eventually tried to update cause it was asking all the time and was annoying. That ended up failing but was still able to use phone with Kingo root and still asking for OTA update. I then tried to flash back to stock but that failed with "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [about] Fused 2 > Binary 1" and now I boot to the error i mentioned at the top and am not able to flash any stock rom I have found. Always get that error or sometimes I get a MD5 check sum error when trying to use some roms I'm found on XDA. Any help would be great I use this phone for work.
Thanks all
Fixed
Finally found a rom that I was able to flash to phone and got it back up and running. Not sure why but all my apps where still on my phone.
So, I was having trouble re-rooting my S5 after the XXU1ANG2 update for the SM-G900F international model as Odin kept throwing out a FAIL to write error every time I tried. After multiple attempts I finally figured out what was wrong with it. In my settings I'd selected the reactiviation lock, so that If I lost my device nobody would be able to get into it. So unticking this and do the usual root process and voila it works as per!
Just thought I'd share this information for anyone also having trouble
I know this isnt the right place for this thread, but i lost my other login credentials and had to start fresh, so Im posting here....
Device: SM-T230NU
Problem: I used a website outside of XDA to root my device. I followed the instructions precisely too, I than unplugged the device hoping that replugging and restarting odin would fix the problem i have/had as displayed by the picture. I than tried rebooting the device, and got this error message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Well I downloaded Kies 3, and much to my surpise I got an error message about the samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 not being supported by Kies 3. I am now downloading Kies 2.6, so I can atleast get this device booting normally.
If you knew this was not the place to post, why did you post a question here? A play by play of your device root is not of much interest to anyone! I hope you got it fixed up anyway!
It's been fixed. I found an alternate DL site that had Odin in the package..I used ODIN to run cf_auto_root which created that firmware upgrade issue...I had to Odin firmware from the links I found on these forums...it's rooted now though
Everytime I try to root my phone(SM-G530AZ) and I restart it, the phone says "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked. I had rooted and than unrooted my phone about 2-3 times before that started occuring.My phone is fine now.But I still want to root it. Am I doing it wrong? Is there a better way?
You have to use flashify and take the boot file you extracted. You do this after you remove kingroot. Then it works but I am also having a problem hopefully someone could help but everything works fine but the wifi doesn't work.
Where would the boot file be?
So I tried rooting my galaxy note 4 (Baseband: N910AUCU1COC4, firmware version: 5.1.1) using KingRoot. After it was done it said that it was rooted, but once I rebooted it wouldn't go to the home menu
So I did some research and came upon Kies. I tried using that but it wouldn't even connect to my PC via USB
Then I tried Odin to try and install a stock firmware (N910AUCU1COC4 version 5.0.1), but everytime I did that it would just give me the fail message "SYS REV CHECK FAIL: Refer 2 > Binary 1"
Please help. I just want to be able to use my phone again. Is there nothing I can do?
keep in mind this is my first time using any of these programs and i'm extremely new to this. I'm really desperate at this point
any help is appreciated. thanks
Anyone?
Nevermind, I fixed the problem by flashing a stock rom with a different baseband (N910AUCU2DOI2) from here http://androidromupdate.com/att-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910a-stock-firmware/ and now it's working pretty much perfectly...
...except I don't have my mobile data anymore. Can someone help with that?
I managed to fix that problem as well using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZArwrXIO4
