Root Huawei Y5 2017 (mya-l22)
Yes, I did it.. You have to first install twrp recovery mode. Download magisk.zip file and move it to your phone internal memory... open the twrp recovery mode and then install the magisk.zip file from your internal memory.....

Help withAndroid N Preview 5

Hi Guys, i have 1 little problem.
im on the last Android N Preview 5 and i wannt to root it.
i have downloaded SuperSU 2.76 and TWRP 3.0.2.0
I rebooted to bootloader flashed thw twrp via Terminal, now i wanna boot into recovery because of the SuperSU zip, but i am stucking on TWRP Logo.
Phone is working normal, but i cant enter into recovery, anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks and best Regards,

You have to flash another version of TWRP... But, dude, i'm on the exact same case, same preview, and i can't get it to work. TWRP doesn't seem to work :/ I always got the god damn "no command" even if i follow some of the tutorials here...
EDIT : Try flashing the 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, and when all will be working (if you achieve, tell me how xD) update it.
EDIT 2 : I may find something, i'll let you know !
TWRP doesnt work with the developer previews without modifying the boot image.
If you want to root, you can use CF-Auto root.
You will still have the stock recovery.

This is a known issue, Search the forum for the resolution. Basically TWRP won't work on the Android N on Encrypted device.
The solution is pretty simple. You need to decrypt your device's storage. TWRP currently doesn't work with encrypted N preview.
This could be easily done by flashing the modified boot image, that will disable forced-encryption. After that, you will need to format the current userdata partition to decrypt the storage.
Code:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Once that is done, you can flash TWRP and then use SuperSU to root.
Another way to direct root is by using Cf-Auto-Root. But I am not sure about that specifically. While some users have succeeded, there are a few who have failed to root using Cf-Auto-Root.
Just use CF-Auto Root, it will do all the things.
Make sure you have unlocked your Bootloader and downloaded the good version of CF for your device.
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode, plug it to a computer, and just open the .bat (if you're on windows, or the equivalent for Mac / Linux). It will install SuperSU. When it's done, don't forget to download the TWRP Manager on the Playstore, and you'll have a working Recovery ! I did that, i know have a rooted nexus 6P on Android N preview 5
Also, lot's of Root's only apps will not work properly, because lots of changes took place on Android N. So make sure you follow some guide out there (exemple : Ex Kernel don't work if you don't tweak some things, same with Ad Away, so make sure you're googling)
I followed the premise of this thread here so all credits go to the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3410906 I flashed the latest Marshmallow vendor.img via fastboot, then flashed TWRP via fastboot. Booted into recovery from the bootloader then side loaded supersu using adb side load in TWRP. After that I rebooted to bootloader from TWRP and fastboot flashed the DP5 vendor.img and recovery.img. All is working well.

Of course you lost root and TWRP because a update.zip contains also recovery and other things(vendor, custom, etc.) and by flashing it the stock recovery will overwrite your TWRP and the new system will delete your root access.
And NEVER install KingRoot on this device! It will mess a lot of things(SuperSU and Magisk work)
You will need to flash TWRP again in order to have root because both supersu and magisk need to be flashed through TWRP(because they are .zip files, at least a part of the root, you will need to install the magisk app to have full root)
SuperSU root just needs to be flashed, just magisk needs an app to be installed after .zip flash.

Hi! One way is to use custom recovery to root your Galaxy J5. To root with custom recovery you will need a computer running Windows OS (didn't work with Linux distros using Wine) and download Odin from samsungodin.com. Then you will need a TWRP-recovery, the link is here:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j53gxx/twrp-3.1.1-1-j53gxx.img.tar.html
In Odin, click on the AP button and select your downloaded recovery file, boot your phone to download mode (Pwr+VolumeDown+Home), connect your phone with computer and start the installation process. It will usually take less than five seconds.
Once you installed the recovery, you will be able to easily root your phone. I recommend SuperSU as your SuperUser app. The link to official SuperSU is below:
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Boot into recovery (Pwr+VolumeUp+Home) and install SuperSU and that's it, your phone should now be rooted. If you consider any problems, feel free to ask for more help!
Regards,
Patrik.

Don't know if you still need the info, but I've just worked out TWRP. I've been rooted for ages but never saw your post; it's only because I decided to try TWRP again that I found you in a Google search.
TWRP that works on the J320ZN is for j3lte. To download: https://dl.twrp.me/j3lte/
Others have had issues installing SuperSU.zip in TWRP.... as did I. The only way to get root that would work is CF-Auto-Root..... because usually SuperSU.zip would then cause a bootloop. BUT of course, what I didn't realize at the time, was CF-Auto-Root once installed reflashed stock recovery! But what it DID enable me to work out (once it clicked in my head that this was going to be the issue and after I'd nearly set up my phone again) was that I was getting a dm-verity error.... something I know nothing about other than it's a new thing I have to do on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. So MAYBE SuperSU wasn't installing because of that? Who knows.
Anyway, now I'm fully working with TWRP and root and it's sticking with no problems.
So install TWRP the usual way....(I used twrp-3.2.1-0-j3lte.img from the link above). If you need help with this quote me and ask, or look for a TWRP tutorial on j3lte (I know the J320YZ uses this TWRP and has a tutorial on how to install TWRP with Odin).
Then install the latest SuperSU.zip:
https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip through TWRP "Install" method.... it must be on your external SD card. Go to the "Install" button on TWRP menu, select storage to extSD and then find SuperSU.zip.
THEN I had to install the Dm-verity and Forced Encryption Disabler through TWRP "Install" method (so this file also needs to be on your external SD card):
https://androidfilebox.com/miscellaneous/dm-verity-and-forced-encryption-disabler/
I used no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip
Then reboot, and reset up your phone.
FINALLY!
Whether you need to do the dm-verity thing I don't know... I'm FAR from an expert. This was all through trial and error but it is the only way to keep root through TWRP without CF-Auto-Root.....FOR ME PERSONALLY.
You could try just TWRP and the latest version of of SuperSU.zip through TWRP....see if that works. If you get stuck in a bootloop, then I just flashed CF-Auto-Root with Odin and it fixed that.... then start the install process again, this time adding dm-verity patch AFTER SuperSU.zip.
If you want to skip TWRP and just root your phone, then the easiest way is to flash CF-Auto-Root with Odin. File at https://download.chainfire.eu/986/CF...etrieve_file=1.

Lost root access and can't get it back via Magisk. Help!

Galaxy S8 Exynos [SM-G950FD] Android Oreo 8.0.0
Hello. it's my first time posting here. So I've had a successful attempt at flashing TWRP and Magisk into my phone. Today I accidentally plugged in my charger while it was in the process of rebooting, so it entered my device into kind of a bootloop. I solved this by going into Download Mode and pressing 'Cancel', which prompted my device to successfully reboot and work again.
The problem is that I've somehow lost my root. None of my apps can get root access, CPU-Z says no root available, and Magisk Manager said "Magisk is not installed". Idk how I got to this because yesterday all was working, I assume it's because I got a bootloop or went into Download Mode.
I tried to install the official Magisk ZIP file from the Manager, go into recovery mode, and flash it via TWRP. Unfortunately this didn't work. This is the only solution I can come up with besides reflashing Stock and having to flash Magisk again and wipe all my current data. If anyone has any suggestions please comment down below as I'm kinda stuck rn. They would be greatly appreaciated!
