I'm using the following in an attempt to root my Samsung A5. /device:173 <--extension from firmware[period]mobi
My OS is:
Android Nougat 7.0 Latest version
I get a pass from ODIN, but the root check fails consistently. I've tried using the latest version of ODIN but the problem persists. Is there simply no proper root for this version and phone combo yet?
What am I doing wrong?

I am having difficulties in rooting my device. Tried several types of root for couple of days, non worked. Now I need some help.
SM-G7102
JELLY BEAN 4.3
Baseband version:G7102ZTUANG1
Kernal version: 3.4.0.2812015
Build number: JLS36C.G7102ZTUANL1
I have tried so far on Odin:
CF-Autoroot
Philz Touch
Both returned successful, but when root checking done it says not rooted.
USB Debug, Unknown sources, PC drivers for Samsung all have been checked and setup.
When I tried to flash SuperSU-v2.46, it says "Failed to verify whole-file signature"(i guess this is due to unrooted device)
Please help.
Solved!
Very strange, I manage to download a firmware from sammobile, which has different PDA & CSC numbers but same model and update my device with Android 4.4.2. using Odin.
I then go on to flash CF Root and it was successful.
So, in my opinion, firmware update will simply clear existing ROM and update with new one which will be able to root. People with rooting difficulties may try this technique.
I have searched all over the web and this site for a tutorial or how to on rooting my S5 with the stock Marshmallow update. Most of the how to's are all outdated and I don't want to run into crashing my phone again by using anything outdated. I tried installing TWRP recovery or flashing it with ODIN and it didn't work. I had lollipop rooted before so I know I'm capable if I'm linked to the right tools. The way I did the Lollipop root was with TWRP and SuperSU but as I said before I couldn't get the recovery installed properly. It said pass in Odin but I got a bootloop and unstable phone so I prefer if someone knows the right tools and how to please clue me in.
Hi everyone, I wanted to put a root issue on the Galaxy S7 edge.
I installed via Odin the latest version of ITV PDA G935FXXU1DQIC and CSC G935FITV1DQI1.
Once you've finished flashing once, I put it back in Download Mode and always flash through Odin the latest version of AutoRoot.
However, the phone still hangs before loading with a screen that warns me that the integrity of the system has not been checked out. I had tried to disable all security settings several times, but nothing. Once I install the root the phone gives me an error telling me that to reset the device I should do a factory reset.
How can I fix it is what? With previous firmware it did not work out what.

If you are using Chainfire's Autoroot it wont work on Nougat.. if you use some third-party AutoRoot i can't help you.
Best way i can recommend to you is to flash latest TWRP and easly get root also you can flash some of great custom roms you can get here!
Hey,
I wanted to root my Galaxy S4 i9505 using CF-auto root. I cheked the version of my s4 i9505 which was i9505xxuhoj2, then go to https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ find my device model and exact same build (i9505xxuhoj2). I generated cf auto root file, boot phone in bootloader mode, unzip file and used odin (which was in that zip file too) to flash this generated file (using AP). Odin gives me FAIL and I cant boot my phone normally because of error during start (firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies).
So I flashed stock firmware (using Odin) with another build. This time i9505xxupqg1. Everything went well my S4 was running normally. So i decided repeated the procedure. Go to https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ and genereate cf auto file (this time for build i9505xxupqg1). I flashed the cf auto root file using odin and again it gives me FAIL.

Can anyone help me with this?
Why this is happening ?
Cheers
Flash back to stock, flash twrp, flash supersu from twrp.
Thanks for reply.
I did this earlier what you said and everything was OK.
I had TWRP and Root using SU.
The problem isnt rooting itself.
The point is i wanted to tested rooting with CF-AutoRoot method.
And I'm wondering what am I doing wrong.
I did everyting correctly (exact same device model and build version) and ODIN gives me FAIL like i said above.
If Odin is failing, try a different version of Odin, a different USB cable, and different USB port.
I got the same problem with a Sprint Note Edge that I tried to root the same way. I'm currently downloading the stock firmware from sammobile.com to flash a stock ROM.

Hello
You do not need to generate a CF-AutoRoute, just google and download the original CF-AutoRoute.zip which roots ALL versions of the device, the baseband does not matter.
Ensure debugging is enabled
Place device into recovery (download)
Add device to Odin
Unzip the file, add the .md5 file to Odin and flash, job done.
I want to downgrade my phone from android 7.0 to 6.01. The performance of the new OS is so bad that the phone is almost unusable!
Odin will not let me downgrade because the bootloader/modem etc is an older version.
I installed TWRP with the instructions from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/twrp-3-0-0-galaxy-a3-2016-sm-a310-t3316176
However when I try to install the 6.0.1 rom I downloaded from sammobile I get an "no md5 file found" error from twrp.
I thought that twrp is so versatile that it allows any rom to be installed.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
If you downloaded a ROM from sammobile or samfirmware they can only be flashed via Odin.
