I'm a complete noob to this but I can't get my phone to root. I tried towelroot, but it said "device unsupported" and odin said some recovery error. I have SM-G900V with android 6.0.1. It would be great if someone could guide me step-by-step on how to root my phone successfully. Thanks!!

Hi,
I rooted my phone the other day everything went well, but since I rooted I have not been able to connect to my WI-FI. The other thing is too I am unable to connect to Samsung Kies 3 now. Driver are all installed right. The one thing I did do is I reset it and that didn’t help.
Hope I have enough info I’m new to all this.
My Phone Info:
Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Version 4.4.4
Baseband: I337UCFNJ4
Thanks,
RS

Before rooting your phone, you had to Odin the NC1 kernel. Did you Odin the NJ4 kernel after you rooted?
You may want to Odin it again, just to be safe.
You can grab it from here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...to-root-i337ucufnj4-4-4-4-11-13-2014-t2939553

Hi-and thank you for responding.
Are you saying to re-root my phone? Because my phone is rooted. The information provided in the link, is the procedure I followed. I did have a problem when I first tried flashing the NC1, but I download the file again and it worked, other than that, everting is worked fine except for the Wi-Fi and Samsung Kies. I did read where it was posted, to re-flash the NC4 kernel again, which I didn’t try, didn’t make much sense seeing that it is rooted. I also have FX, Root Checker and SuperSU installed.
Should I try re-flashing the NJ4 again?
Or try rooting again? If so do I have to un-root my phone?
Thank you for your quick response.

The directions to root NJ4 are
1. Odin the NC1 kernel
2. Root with towelroot
3. Odin the NJ4 kernel.
My suggestion is to complete the root process by doing step 3. Once you do that, wifi will work again.

that is the only way to obtain root currently. there is no way to root a clean install of 5.0.1. if you want root, you will have to root while on a kit kat build then update to 5.0.1

If you have the I337m then you should be able to use CF-Auto Root, though I don't know if it's been updated for lollipop on your specific variant.
For the i337m you can do this. Either use cf auto root or you can first install a custom recovery and then flash SuperSu from the recovery.

CF-Auto-Root works with the SGH-i337M (Bell) on Android 4 and 5.
Just don't go in Recovery Mode afterwards otherwise it'll break your installation and render your device unusable.

so the chain link of 4.4.2 works on 5.0
and what do you mean going into recovery mod will break my phone
all i do is root and i previously rooted my phone and have gone in recover mod to check my knox flag since when cant you go into recovery mode ?
I'm just warning you. I don't know why. I can't use my phone since I booted in recovery mode after running a rooted stock fw for a while. We have the same device.
sounds as if you have an error either in the absence of a custom recovery or the kernal. Pull the battery, wait 30 seconds at least. Go into download mode, use Odin to reflash the stock Bell OC4 firmware but leave auto-boot unchecked -- wait until Odin goes green and says pass -- this can be quite a wait. Pull the battery. Restart the phone. Don't be surprised if it goes into stock recovery on first boot -- let hte phone do its thing to get itself sorted. Set the phone up in stock mode first.
Oh! Thanks! As it turns out, it wasn't the CF-Auto-Root which ****ed it up. I actually tried to install CyanogenMod the day after and it failed. I thought it failed cleanly and nothing was pushed to my phone, but I was wrong. So, have fun, OP!
As the Title states I have been trying to flash to Lollipop using the thread Update to lollipop and keep root using Flashfire app. I have downloaded and followed the procedure (yes I am rooted and confirmed with RootBasic) with it failing.
What happens is I load the files in order stated per the guide hit the lightning bolt, does the reboot and then gives error no command and then sits at stock flash update where you can either reboot, flash file or few other choices. I have tried numerous times with each time same result. What is going wrong? As I stated on am on MK2 firmware with ATT update frozen so not sure why this is. When put in download mode I confirm Knox 0 and Offical software with it having 0x30 for bootloader. Any suggestions or should I ODIN update but with what?

We just discovered this morning on the Vz S4 that FF does not function properly on their MK2(4.2) firmware which is likely also the issue here. You will first need to update to KitKat using the following file then root with towel root before updating to 5.0: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358548937
Before I proceed to KitKat with file linked to is there a guide to properly performing this and then rooting? I will update from MK2 to NB 1 then I need to root, then do the FlashFire and Lollipop undate. I see the guide to use ODIN but then I will have to root I also have not used towel root either so any guide would be awesome. This should not change KNOX either correct (although I guess it does not matter since I am long out of warranty)?
I want to have a clear understanding of procedure so I don't brick the phone! I have not used ODIN before since I haven't really done much rooting other than when I first got the replacement phone last year
I'd suggest [GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap by guut13, and of course [How-To] Update to I337_OC3 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot (4/7/2015) by muniz_ri for rooted Lollipop. Look in the I337 General forum for both.
Thanks Creepyncrawly and muniz_ri for both of your help it was easy to update from MK2 for this noob!
Ok I followed the guide and did update to stock nb1 and rooted, used towel root and then used flashfire to Lollipop and all seems to be working (I still am in process of setting phone up but it is running lollipop).
Since this is oc3 rooted is there anything else I have to do such as freeze att update? Anything else I should do right away?
Greetings.
So i am using my sgs5 wit android 6.0.1 for a while and i was able to root it with CF autoroot. Yesterday my phone just restarted itself and i just discovered that i lost root. I re downloaded the autoroot for 6.0.1 and odin 3.07 but after the second restart i still have no root. I tried reflashing and watched what the script is writing out. It says that the device is patched but i dont know what it means.
Have someone any idea what is preventing the root?
Thanks in advance for the help .
I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 SM J500FN. I just install the last update Android 6.0.1 and now I'm trying to root in but I cannot find any rooting tool I tried kingroot,kingoroot but none of them could root my phone
For now I don't know about a way to root without Pc.
You can look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/tutorial-upgrade-j5-2015-to-6-0-t3443904
a downgrade solution. Maybe Kingroot is able to root it afterwards.
When unsuccessful you will at least be able to flash twrp via Odin and flash SuperSu zip(Google for it).

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy j5 on 6.0.1 and I rooted it using the same one as I did for rooting on 5.1.1
Download CF auto root for your model and flash it via odin

Yes.. Rooting with supersu.zip via TWRP is the easiest method to root any lollipop or marshmallow phone :fingers-crossed:
