I myself have a Galaxy S5 and it's rooted. My brother on the other hand has a Samsung J3 (2016) SM-J320W8. I've tried root apps, ChainFire auto root, but to no luck.
Try to flash TWRP via Odin and then flash SuperSU latest from SuperSU website.
Has anyone had any luck with this yet?
W8 has the same chipset as j320A as far as I know
You can try that root method, just make sure you have a way to restore in case it fails.
But please, let us know if you do try
I think this is another bootloader locked device.

I have Samsung galaxy A5, SM-A500H. Running Android 5.0.2, downloaded from here. I want to root it.
The only root available right now AFAIK, is CF-Auto-Root, as described here for example. But this root breaks everything, all the apps stop running when you reboot the phone and you have reinstall the firmware, it doesn't work.
Is there another way to root my device?

the method you suggest, is great, i always wanted to know how that's done but can't do it, since it will require me to reflash the phone and reinstall the rom
This answer is for future users
first if you want to upgrade to 5.02

I use the unknown carrier but you could pick any. just create an account there first.
and to root it, the only safe way, all other ways, it will break it, so again the only safe way to root that thing

didn't work before, now is working, download the apk, root it, takes 5 min, restart your phone, have a nice day
Hey guys, I'm in a really tough situation here and would SERIOUSLY appreciate help I unrooted my galaxy s5 with the "full unroot" method in the Supersu app so that I could update my phone to lollipop but after I unrooted, i tried to update myphone via OTA but it keeps saying I can't because I modified the system in some way then I tried to reroot with kingroot but kingroot still can't root my phone so now I'm stuck without the update and no root! Please help me I want to reroot my s5 my specs are Samsung Galaxy s5 SM-G900H with XXU1ANG3 THANKS IN ADVANCE!
So which Android version are you on at the moment? KitKat or Lollipop? I had to install a custom recovery in order to be able to root Lollipop by just flashing SuperUser whereas in KitKat I would have had to use CF-Auto-Root (I'm not sure if it works on L) or TowelRoot, which unfortunately did not work on my device because I have the G900H as well.
EDIT: I just carefully re-read your post and it seems that you're still on Kit-Kat, so I would use CF-Auto-Root and ODIN in order to reroot the device. Does it trigger the knox alarm? I honestly have no idea but I sure hope it doesn't. I triggered mine because I couldn't care less about warranties in Egypt.
Okay thank you so much for your suggestion but I have another question. In case I soft brick my phone during the Odin process (which I have in the past) how do I flash it back to normal or something like that, I'm pretty new at these root methods :/ I have never installed a rom so I'm still on stock
I rooted my 6.0.1 s7 edge using a newer version of the root odin software than was applicable on my device. Running on Exynos and i would like to unroot it as root checker says, 'Sorry! Root access not properly installed on this device.' Please help!!
SM-G935F
Still on 6.0.1
I believe you just flash stock though oden and youll be set. Alil rusty since i have the snapdragon. But had the exynos note4 few y3ars back and recall it being the same to go back to stock.

I've tried them all.
Still haven't succeeded in a Root Exploit
Nor have I found a working TWRP for this device.
Wonder if there's a way to downgrade software to a firmware pre Knox and Pre dmVerity.
I have CROM and it says bootloader is unlocked.
However, FastBoot still cannot find device and Root cannot be successful.
I'm beginning to think CROM only reads OEM Unlock in DevOptions.
Which may very well be unlocked when phone is <On> ONLY
I found an APK that says it unlocks Samsung BootLocker. But it has a emulator, and I don't know what it needs me to hash. Any command I've attempted, wasn't an executable command..?.
