Hello guys,
I havd a galaxy s5 g900h
And even it has warranty but i need these features :
1. Titanium backup
2. Optimizer app that can fully optimize my phone (those need root)
3. I really really need to move huge games (like wild blood) to sd becausd my s5 is 16gb
4. I need tasker
5. I wanna use xposed
So i have no xp in rooting and have nevef rooted a phone before, i come acroos the net and found two methods, one is with phils touch cwm recovery and one is with cf auto root
I cant understand the difference between tbose two, and i dunno what to use?
*towelroot does not support my phone
So i need u guys to please help me and tell me which one is right for me, the only thing i know is that ppl can flash custom roms if they root with cwm method.
So a few questions comes to my mind:
1. Are custome rom really good?
2. Are they rooted?
3. Arent they buggy?
4. Do they have samsung smart services? Like smart pause, smart stay, air view or ....
5. Will my all sms and photos remove every time i install a new custom rom?
6. Do i really need a cuatom rom?
7. Will titanium backup work in cf auto root method?
8. Will exposed framework work in cf method?
Thanks
Cf root method works fine in our 900h model..
Cf root method requires to root your phone.
And CWM or TWRP could be flash, after once you root device by using CF root method..
Custom ROM will have all basic functions and it'll not cause any problem in pic-sms-songs etc..

is always recomended to do a clean install,.. so basically yes, you must delete all, but you can always do a backup
Hi, i really hope someone can help. I recently got my hands on a galaxy s5 G900FXXU1ANG8. I've had an s3, an s4 and a note 10.1 and successfully managed to root them all with no issues. The 2 major reasons for needing root access is so i can use APP QUARANTINE and GL TO SD. I've decided to root the s5 but having looked at loads of stuff on the net about rooting the s5, there seems to be loads of conflicting and confusing information. Can someone please spell it out for me in nice simple terms on how to root the s5 and links to anything i'll need for G900FXXU1ANG8. Rooting my other devices was easy using the odin method as there were Clear instructions on how to do so.
I did see 1 post about rooting the s5 by downloading towelroot and running that. Is it really that easy? and if so why are there so many conflicting and complicated other posts out there.
Theres so much bloatware thats not wanted on my phone, taking up loads of ram, hence the need for app quarantine. And i'm an avid mobile gamer and the best games all take up loads of storage space, hence the need for GL TO SD. Just a couple of games fills up most of the internal storage space.
I would be really grateful if someone could help and sorry for sounding like a thicko.
Thanks all.
This is what I did in the past with my S5 (G900F). First install a custom recovery (Philz recovery) through odin (pc version) and then go to recovery and flash the SuperSu zip file.
I used this guide:
http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/04/how-to-root-galaxy-s5-recovery-root.html?m=1
Or you can also root it from Odin PC.

Or

Thanks.

Thats great, thanks for your time in replying.
Do you have any idea if GL TO SD and APP QUARANTINE apps are working with sm-g900f?
Also have they updated triangle away to work with sm-g900f 4.4.2 yet, and found a way not to trip knox warranty flag. Just incase i need to Unroot for warranty reasons?
Thanks again for your kind help.

I have rooted and rom'ed my Thunderbolt, then my Note2 and very comfortable with formatting, installing roms and zips. I just bought a rooted Note 3 on swappa and I am wondering what my options are.
The seller installed something I am not familliar with called "Safestrap">
This is the last message he sent me after he mailed the phone to me:
"I have wiped it clean and installed a fresh copy of 4.4.2 with root and safestrap. I went ahead and renamed the 2 files in the file system that are known to force a system software update by renaming the files to .bak, so you shouldn't have to worry about the phone trying to update itself. I have included all the files you would need to re-install a clean copy of 4.4.2 unrooted, plus root and safestrap on a 4gb sd card at no extra charge. Please refer to XDA forums should you need steps on how to do this, and take note newer versions of android may not be rootable on this phone. Thanks!"
I am a bit confused with this phone on what I can and shouldn't do with it, as I don't want to lose root.
I am enclosing a Screenshot of the about page.
I would appreciate any advice, thank you
Safestrap is a TWRP like custom recovery. I would just leave the phone as-is relative to the OS. You can load any apps that require root and they should run just fine.

Wondering if anyone in the know has heard of any development going on for this device? I recently bought one and it's not a bad phone for the price, but I've seen absolutely -nothing- on it anywhere online for the most part. It's barely root-able with what I've been able to find, and no custom recovery or really anything custom has popped up that I've seen.
Not sure if it's just that it's been only a few months since the phone came out, or if it's just not that great a phone. I upgraded from an HTC Desire 510 to this, and it was heavily customized/rooted/etc, and I want so badly to get back to where I was with it on this phone I cant stand it!
I also want to root my Galaxy J3! I just want to root it so I can use AdAway and Titanium Backup.

Right now rooting isn't the problem so much as keeping root. Because apparently the colonel has protection and will remove root whenever you reboot. That means things that require root on boot like backups, Xposed and a lot of other things won't work for us until someone complies a kernel with root protection removed. You can do some debloating and possibly the AdAway but that's about it right now.
*kernel. Damn voice to text.
That sucks. I upgraded from an LG Volt and I was able to do a whole bunch of stuff on it. The J3 is still very new, so hopefully development will happen soon.
I just got this phone if there is anything i can do to help move this along let me know. I have the virgin mobile one.

I guess that would depend on what you have experience with and what you can do. Thus-far root has been able to be achieved with Kingroot, though it wont stick through a power cycle (reboot/power off/etc), and using any of the methods available (at least that I'm aware of, only found two legitimate ones) to replace Kingroot with SuperSU (to facilitate having root stick past the reboot hopefully) causes a soft-brick every time forcing a re-flash of stock firmware through Odin.
At the very least make your voice heard, if nothing else hopefully more popularity will come this devices way and we'll see some development for it. My roommate is considering writing something for it, but it is a long process working solo, so anyone who has experience working with kernels or editing stock rom/writing custom roms feels up to helping out, shoot me a message and I'll get it over to him. He's a fairly experienced programmer and picks up what he doesn't already know pretty quickly.
Got one recently too. Would also appreciate any more information on rooting.
I have a J320A (AT&T) came stock with 6.0.1, can help test if needed

I know this is an old thread, just making my rounds looking for anything on the J3 myself (SM-J320P Boost, Virgin, etc...) and have found TWRP & permanent root with Chainfire's SuperSU (system-less though). Everything is great except a lag issue with supersu. There is an exposed by wanum that works as well. Only app that has root issue so far is ES File Explorer. If anyone is still looking hope this helps.

Will this version of TWRP work on the Att variant running 6.0.1? Is there a way to root that device yet?

Anything yet for J320A/Z models? (AT&T/cricket)
This version of TWRP won't work will it? Totally different phone?
EDIT: just realized the guy above has the same question... something tells me we won't see root on the ATT/cricket variants for a while.

Try official TWRP of galaxy J2. Your variant shares the same specs as J2. Others also did this to galaxy On5, it works 100%.

So can you confirm this method works? Does OEM unlock setting in dev options unlock the bootloader on AT&T variant? If so couldn't I temp root and flash TWRP via Flashify?

It doesn't work tried it 3 times. I even tried other ones no luck. They locked this thing down. Im surprise chainfire haven't tried this phone yet.
Hi, guys! I understand it was an old thread, but I was referred here from Reddit. I have a Galaxy J3 (SM-J3109) purchased in Mainland China (Service provider is China Telecom). I rooted it with Kingo Root. Kingo Root stated that it successfully rooted the device, but the phone OS had given me warnings about unauthorized access to the device or something.
One week later (I did *not* reflash the phone nor install any applications after I rooted the phone) I found the phone stuck in an annoying bootloop. The device status is still "official" and the Knox counter is still set at 0x0.
Now that it's bootlooping I'd like to know if it's possible to take the applications and files off the phone before I factory reset it. It's not looking hopeful as I read similar threads from 2012 saying that once other Android devices bootloop, getting stuff off of them is impossible. I tried using ADB to take data off the phone (while Odin3 was detecting it being connected to the PC) but ADB doesn't detect the phone. Should I try a different cable?

Best advice would be to try flashing the stock firmware with odin. That shouldn't delete any of your data and will usually fix a bootloop. You can Google your phones stock firmware and see if you can download it.

Thank you so much! I tried using Odin to flash a software update and it worked perfectly. The phone is back up and running and all of the files are still there!
Right now i have TWRP 3.0.2 with supersu and i havent lost root yet also had no problem switching between backups, xposed working fine and also overclock too with setcpu, im currently running 5.1.1 using j320FN but TWRP was from j320F, i will put up links to the files if any of you are willing to try its up to you.
TWRP flash through odin : http://www.mediafire.com/download/blk7qa90vs6wik3/TWRP_3.0.2-0_SM-J320F.tar.tar
Supersu flash through recovery then update through playstore then install busybox after through playstore : http://www.mediafire.com/download/cpv2c71cp11x41f/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
Remember to turn on usb debugging and turn on oem unlock before flashing recovery, also if you manage to get recovery press they grey box on the right to change language to english. Hope this might help somebody on here because we really need full root for everyone.
I have many devices but with the galaxy tab 4 8 inch t337a running "lollipop" . I am in a temporary root. I deleted a bloat ware an when I went to restore the app it never came back. Weird but also Kind've good because it's a app I never wanted. But I have seen people downgrade their stock roms. Since I'm in a temporary root an if theirs a hard boot then I get the at&the unauthorized screen . Would it be possible to downgrade to kitkat ???? If so it would make things easier an plus get to enjoy the joy of custom boot image because I may have root but since it's temporary until the kernel sees it in a haRd boot then it's useless but I have seen downgrade before if done right with the right tar file an stuff. Just wondering if someone can help me with downgrade or find a way to get past the kernel recognizing without softboot
