Hello
I have a SM-T530 (on latest official 5.0.2 firmware), and would like to root it.
It seems to be hard to do if I'm browsing the forums, but I would just like to check:
Isn't it possible to
flash TWRP using Odin and then flash SuperSU via TWRP?
Would this work? Would it be temporary?
Can I brick my device this way, or could I just reflash stock firmware if things go south?
Thanks! And sorry if it's a repost, but I can't get a definitive answer from earlier posts...
Oh yeah, I obviously don't care about tripping KNOX and warranty, since the tab is too old...
Alright, I just went for it:
*Flashed TWRP 3.0.1 using Odin (3.2.1 I could flash, but it wouldn't boot)
*Uncheck auto reboot in Odin, manually shut down device
*Boot to recovery using power+volup+home (otherwise stock recovery will persist)
*Flashed latest SuperSU
Worked like a charm!
For TWRP 3.0.1, see attachment or here: https://www.softstech.net/install-twrp-root-galaxy-tab-4-10-1/amp/

Here is what I used on both jb and kk. I went to twrp home page and downloaded the latest version (img.tar) and flashed it via Odin 3.09. I then downloaded downloaded the custom ROM and flashed using the recovery. If you are wanting to stay stock with root download the latest version of superSU to your SD card and then flash using the custom recovery.
Here is one thing I found out after updating to KK when holding the buttons to boot into recovery only hold them until you see the text "recovery booting" (or something similar). If you continue to hold, the phone will bootloop and actually turn on. Hope this helps.

please where to download this file please? you said you go to twrp home page, where is it?
Second, you said: If you are wanting to stay stock with root download the latest version of superSU to your SD card and then flash using the custom recovery.
I don't understand what you mean, can we root it without flashing the firmware? only using the latest version of superSU to my SD card and then flash using the custom recovery. that's all.
Other questions:
Oneclic root software can it work with Note 3 N900T 4.3 T-MBIL , Such as: VRoot_1.7.4. or kingo Android root ?

Twrp: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
(Make sure you download the correct version for you OS. Kitkat or Jelly Bean. If it were me I would make sure you are updated to KK.) Make sure the file you download is the one ending with img.tar and flash with Odin.
You do not need to flash a custom ROM to achieve root. You can use the base android version and have root. If you want to use a custom ROM there is no need to mess with SuperSU as almost every ROM will have it prebuilt in. If you are ONLY wanting root without changing your ROM then you will need to flash SuperSU using a custom recovery, I prefer twrp.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Here is the link to get the .zip file for the most up to date version of SuperSU.
Here are some instructions:
Flash twrp using Odin
Enter recovery mode (if not sure how to do it, Google it) Make sure you only hols the buttons until the words "recovery booting" appear and then release.
Once in twrp you can then flash your ROM or SuperSU. If you do not know how to use twrp just look it up on YouTube.
Once you have twrp and SuperSU OR a custom ROM you should be rooted.
WARNING: Rooting your phone with my method WILL trip Knox!
Extra questions: I did research and did not trust the companies performing the one click root. It's up to you on who you trust. I have no experience with the one touch rooting, but as long as they say you device is supported by them then you should be good to go.
sm-900t: Powered by X-Note V13
sm-900t: Powered by X-Note V13
I have a Note 4 - 910G (India) currently running 5.0.1
I have managed to root the device. I can confirm that I have root access with an app like root checker. And yes, I've managed to trip Knox. At the custom boot screen, it shows Knox status as 0x1 (4).
My problem is that I can't install TWRP or any other custom recovery. I have followed the usual steps to install a custom recovery with flashify, TWRP installer and adb commands. Each time I try, the device reboots into odin mode (high speed) mode only. I then have to flash a custom recovery with Odin and the device reboots. However, even then.. if I try to boot to a bootloader, it still goes into the odin mode.
Is my device completely borked? Can I still install TWRP and then CM12.x on the device?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I too have a note 4 sm-n910G. I think ur TWRP file is corrupted or you got the wrong file. It should be easy to get custom recovery. I rooted my Note 4 using CF auto root and it had CWM recovery which i tried to flash in Odin but it wasnt working. So i changed to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and it worked perfectly. Maybe try changing the TWRP file, or use a different one like CWM or philz recovery. Good luck...
So I accidentally flashed the recovery package through Odin to a friend's s4 gt i9505 and i get a no access error in the recovery with an android and a red triangle. Since it has a custom recovery odin doesnt detect it. My question is what should i do ? . There is literally noone that has experienced the same (noob) mistake so there is no real fix. The phone is running 4.4.2 with an official upgrade to lollipop but KNOX was tripped so I would like to fix for him without having to pay for official service.
Thanks in advance.
Odd. I have a custom recovery on my S4 and Odin detects my S4 without a problem, meaning something else is causing your connection woes. Obviously, make sure you're in download mode first (hold down the volume down, home, power keys), which wouldn't be affected by a custom recovery, and change USB ports until Odin does recognize the device. Then flash the stock ROM again to restore the S4 to working order.

the thing is it bypassed download mode straight into the recovery so it didnt recognize it at all. Maybe it was because it had a non rooted recovery? Anyway i rooted the phone with kingoroot which on the one hand it worked on the other hand the phone laggs like hell but it wiped the custom recovery somehow so i got samsung's download mode back flashed cf auto root but it doesnt update su binary so thats my problem now . The phone is a 4.4.2 firmware so should i Flash first lollipop and then root it or flash a recovery to install the su binary from there?

Based on your first post and this post I have come to the conclusion that you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. You are mixing everything up. And I mean everything.
- A non rooted recovery? What is that? It doesn't excist. A recovery has nothing to do with root.
- Because you had a custom recovery Odin doesn't detect it? Completely impossible. A custom recovery has nothing to do with Odin detecting or not detecting.
- Wiping the recovery and getting download mode back? Dude that's impossible. Download mode and recovery are two completely different things.
1. Flash Lollipop if you want Lollipop. With .pit and re-partition.
2. Perform a factory reset.
3. Flash cf-auto root.
That's all there is to it.

What I meant was that I accidentally flashed the recovery tar.md5 file before cf-auto-root and it wasn't working . aside that I get an su binary update error is there a fix for that?

Root and recovery are two unrelated things. You don't need root for a custom recovery and you don't need a custom recovery to root.
I would start with a clean install since you used Kingoroot and cf auto-root.
Flash a stock rom with re-partition and .pit. Then only use cf auto-root.

You can also wipe /system and /data in TWRP and then flash Lollipop firmware.

Is it obligatory i wipe the system partition because odin flash rewrites it anyway or am i wrong on this one?
Also after kingroot the recovery was wiped clean for some reason
Bro my s4 GT I9505 have stock rom v5 .0.1 UHOE3.now I need rooted and install philz touch recovery so pls proper guide and file.thanks in advance.
Philz is outdated, and certain ROMs will not install with it. Use TWRP instead. For installing, it's just like installing a stock ROM through Odin. We have guides on this in the General section.
Hi,
I had several problems with custom rom, so I went back to stock ROM (latest MOB version) to start everything new.
Now I got the problem that it is not possible to flash CWM or TWRP again (tried different versions to flash with odin). I also tried to get back to UHOL2 bootloader and modem, bootloader is now UHOL2 but also custom recovery not working.
Any ideas how to get TWRP working again?
Thx
Jürgen
Can you root it?
Then you might be able to use flashify to flash the recovery.img

Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin.
used CF Auto root - Phone Info says that root is working
which recovery.img should I try - CWM or TWRP doesn't matter for me
TWRP. CWM is outdated.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin and removing battery was the solution!
Thx
Selecting auto reboot after flashing twrp causes the stock recovery to overwrite twrp and this is why the phone should be booted into twrp right after flashing.
Hi guys i rooted my stock 6.0.1 g900f last week, flashing the cf-root file extracted with pc odin and phone was rooted fine till today, all of a sudden i have lost root access
I have not updated anything apart from apps in playstore, not touched anything on system, any ideas what has caused this? Any fix for this? I tried clearing app data for SuperSU but no luck. Any ideas?? Thanks

Need TWRP and SuperSU beta 2.71 for rooting Marshmallow correctly
You've already tripped KNOX by flashing CF AR, TWRP is a very powerful, and necessary recovery when you're doing things like rooting
Flash TWRP 3.0.0.0 and then that SuperSU zip
