Download and install Towelroot, run it. Download supersu, busybox, and safestrap. Install. For roms, follow devs instructions to install their roms. Do not skip a step.

I just need to install that on my phone, or computer?...I guess I thought I was going to have to do work with drivers and some other things, and then link the phone up o the computer and all that other stuff...
Anyways thank you very much for your quick help so far!

I think you only need a pc to Odin anything to install modded roms. Nc4 is roots with towelroot, then you just install supersu, busybox, and safestrap and run them.

ok do you get those from the playstore, or from the internet on the phone. When I typed in towelroot on google play, I got DriveDroid (paid), Soft buttons, Root checker and unroot PRO as results.

Are you downloading to a pc? If so which browser are you using? As far as I know to download a stock rom, go to sammobile.com . It's a pain in the butt to log in and everything but once it works, you can download the stock rom from them and flash it via odin. I just did that with my note 10.1 to return it to stock.

SAMSUNG GALAXY J3 SM-J320FN. How to root this device?

Hi!
I have got Samsung Galaxy J3 SM-J320FN and i want to root this device. Kingoroot,Towelroot didn't work. Can you help me? Pls

Anyone have any info for this, I too am looking to root this device and can't find anything.

Hello!
I have a solution. Try it: http://www.needrom.com/download/root-for-galax-j36-sm-j320fn/

confused by your post
hi,
how does one add to the root file the img file? every time i have tried is says i need to be rooted… which i am not? can you advise the step by step to add the img file without root access to the root folder? maybe the file manager apk you used that we can also download and install and use?

The root folder just means the first part of your storage. I.e not in any folder.

I just got the phone and this no longer works on the latest software (Aug 2016), as it just causes a boot-loop (Others who have commented seem to have the same issue)

Was this on the latest version of the firmware, and if so then please let me know how!
Thanks!

I'll put up a link for the files needed . Recovery is for the j320f but it's working on mine no problem and I'm on j320fn. You have to flash recovery via odin and change language when you load it up because I think it's in Russian but not sure . I found all this on a website but can't remember where to now but anyway here you go for TWRP http://mega.nz/#!tBORFSBI
and for flash able root in recovery http://mega.nz/#!1ZFAWZDI
use Firefox to download from mega ok and if you have any trouble flash stock through odin, website for stock rom is sammobile

All looking good so far. The TWRP flashed OK, and so did the Nandroid back up, so I am just trying the SuperSU install and the phone has rebooted about 6 times so far since the install, so I will keep it going a little longer and see what happens

OK I'll try to find another supersu to flash ok

I ended up re-flashing SuperSU a second time, as it was bootlooping for about 25 minutes and it went straight through this time after 1 reboot.

All good - The phone is now rooted and SuperSU installed (I haven't tried the Xposed installer yet, but will do tomorrow as off to bed now.
Many thanks for the advise & links... I'm sure there's a lot of people that it will help!
For anyone else wanting to try this, the basic info is broken down below:
Basically, download TWRP & SuperSU from these links & flash using Odin:
TWRP*http://www.mediafire.com/download/bl...-J320F.tar.tar
root file*http://www.mediafire.com/download/cp...0630161323.zip
The TWRP will be in Russian, but if you click on the right-hand side grey box then you can change to English.
First thing to do is run a Nandroid back-up and once completed copy the SuperSU file to the phone/Ext SD card and flash this (I flashed it twice, as the first attempt just made the phone constantty reboot after the logo.
Next you can flash thexPosed Lollipop 5.11 from here :* the framework for xposed lollipop 5.1.1*http://www.mediafire.com/download/hx...m-20151217.zip

G900F Root Problem

Hello guys! I've followed the simple root tutorial found on XDA and i've managed to root my S5 with no problem (i don't have any knowledge about this stuff cause i am a newbie,sorry...). After that ,i've successfully flashed TWRP Recovery and tried several ROM's but every one of them failed (bootloop on RR, corrupted zip on Note 7 ROM etc),anyway,it was late and the next day i needed my phone so i installed the Official Stock S5 ROM (6.0.1) found on XDA also (flashed with Odin). The problem is, i can't root it anymore. When i try to do the exact same thing i did with auto-root and Odin everything works except SuperSU ("There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it"). I've tried everything! And when i say everything , i mean it. Even KingRoot, wipping everything, trying to root again, the advices found on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/su-binary-installed-supersu-install-t1928764 and nothing works..if anyone can point me some directions , give some advices, i would be very happy! Thank you guys! I'm willing to try anything.
