http://www.mediafire.com/?5kcxc1yovvl6740 try this driver
and i suggest you to use package according to your region. to avoid any csc related problem or data connection issue
visit our development thread and find dokys post
Hi Friend,
I have installed the drivers from the mediafire link. After that when am trying to connect my device its ot detecting saying "unknown device" in device manager.
what i have to to now..??
is there any thing that i have to do special for my device.
I was hoping to see more development for the Samsung Galaxy A5 2015. I know that there are some posts but in limited variants, specially if I want to have "theme store" or the white notifications panel which we have seen in the S6 or A5 (2016)... and we do have Marshmallow, but I guess that this version is more light, to make us buy the next phone and with these limited aestetics it gets boring or outdated. Anyway, my variant is SM-A500M and I've just recently found a method to root this variant with Marshmallow but honestly there's not much to do with this variant. I just want to request more mods and a way to have a refresh for this phone because it gets boring as hell to swipe the homescreens and it feels with lags, there's no more dynamic.
Thanks.
Can you post how you managed to root your phone ? I have the same model and i want to root too

Before starting, please be aware that rooting will void your warranty and if the steps I have given below are not done properly, you will brick your device. Please don't blame me if you got your device bricked.
1. Firstly, you need a windows pc and then go to this link and download the whole folder with the name "Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 Root Method". Do not miss a file and extract all the files from the zip into the folder with a name "Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 Root Method" . Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...lP?usp=sharing
2. Then navigate to the folder called "Odin3_v3.09" and run the file with name "Odin3 v3.09.exe". Run it with admin rights.
3. In you phone, navigate to developer options and turn on "USB debugging and (OEM unlock (if it is there))". I am pretty sure that this option will be there. If you don't know how to get developer options, go to setting, about, and tap 3 times on the build number and you will unlock developer options.
4. Now power off your device and reboot into download mode by pressing power button, home button and volume down all together. Press volume up when you see the screen. (the screen is a blue-green colour and it says either press volume up or down, press volume up)
5. Now connect your phone to pc with usb debug enabled on phone.
6. In Odin, If you see device is added, you are good to go. If not reconnect your device.
7. Now in odin, press the button named "AP" and navigate to the "Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 Root Method" and click on the file named "twrp_20191005_a5ultexx (1).tar" and open it.
8. Now in the options section, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and check (if not already) "F. Reset Time". Leave everything else as it is.
9. Press The button "Start"
10. Wait until you see "Pass" in odin.
11. In your phone, you will see that it is "downloading" and there is a white line that is completed. Now to get out of download mode, press power button, home button and volume down all together until you see a black screen.
12. Immediately, you need to press power button, home button and volume up all together until you see the boot screen with yellow text saying "set warranty bit: recovery"
13. Now you will boot into recovery.
14. Now download "Magisk v20.zip" from this link on your pc. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11O2...ew?usp=sharing
Don't extract it.
15. Now drag or copy and paste "Magisk v20.zip" to the phone's internal storage.
16. In your phone, in twrp recovery. press the install button and navigate to "Magisk v20.zip". Press on it.
17. Now swipe to install and wait a few seconds or minutes.
18. After completion, press the "Wipe Cache/Dalvik" button.
19. Afterwards, press reboot (system)
20. If you see the boot screen with "set warranty bit: kernel", you are good to go and wait till it boots the system.
21. Congratulations, your phone is now rooted!
In step 20, if you see "set warranty bit: recovery" and red text above it, try this: Power off the device in twrp (recovery) in the reboot section and connect to a power supply. If you see 'set warranty bit:kernel' and a charging sign, you are good to go. You just need to hold the power button and wait till it turns off and turns on again. Just wait until it boots the system and you are rooted.
Hi,

The video asked for me to press vol down + home + power as soon as I pressed start on the laptop. But I might have been a cpl seconds late. In any case, I am now stuck on this error.
I am not able to go to the blue download screen. Also, please provide me step by step details on -
1) How to get to that blue download screen?
2) Where to get stock ROM?
I would prefer not to lose data. Thanks all.

First, you should have downloaded the version of TWRP that you need for your device from the TWRP website so that you know you have an official version.
What state is your device in at this moment? Is it powered down and off? Is it stuck in Download Mode?
If you want to locate the stock ROM for you device you can obtain it at www.sammobile.com
To flash the stock ROM you will need to use ODIN. Please do some research. There is plenty of information in the forum about how to install TWRP and then root with Magisk or SuperSU.
To boot into Download Mode, you will need to press the Volume Down + Home + Power and hold until Download Mode appears.
To boot into recovery, wether it be the stock Android Recovery or TWRP once installed, press Volume Up + Home + Power and hold until you see the blue text at the top of your screen that says recovery booting.
When I woke up this morning, the screen was showing black. When I charged, it started charging from 0% ( so looks like it was discharged).
Now I was able to press vol down + home + power and get to the download screen. I installed the configuration from firmware.mobi. The device re-started and booted correctly.
Its not yet rooted though.
I will what you suggested for rooting, thanks.

Now that you have an OS, install TWRP and flash a Magisk root zip and install the Magisk Manager app and you'll be good to go.

How to root N20 (N985F/N986B/N9860)
WARNING!
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but some ROMs are patched for all these mentioned features, you can use custom ROM or patch it yourself for stock ROM. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
How to Unlock Bootloader
Follow below four steps to ulock the bootloader
1.Enable Developer Option
Open the Settings app on your Galaxy device.
Choose About > Software Information.
Now tap on Build Number 7 times to enable the developer option.
You’ll get a message “You’re now a developer.”
Now Developer option has been enabled.
2: Enable OEM Unlock
Go to the Settings app again on your device.
Navigate to the Developer option.
Enable the toggle next to OEM Unlocking.
Tap YES to turn on the confirmation dialog box.
3: Boot Your device to Download Mode
While device is booted → Connect device to PC → Select to Restart → As soon as device screen turns off, Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously OR In case device is powered off Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously and connect your device to the PC via a USB Cable.
You can see the warning message on your device and release the pressed keys.
Finally, press the Volume Up key once, and you will be booted into Download Mode.
4: Unlock Bootloader
Once device booted into Download Mode, you will see option to long press Volume up to unlock bootloader,Now, press and hold the Volume Up key for a few seconds., Here, you’ll get a confirmation whether you are sure to proceed.
Use the Volume Up button to reply to the confirmation.
This will erase all the data on your device and unlock the bootloader.
Once completed, your device will automatically boot up to the OS.
Now you have successfully unlocked the bootloader
How to root
Instructions for stock non rooted ROM
Use either samfirm.js, Frija, or Samloader to download the latest firmware zip of your device directly from Samsung servers.
Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
Install Magisk apk
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file
When done, copy patched file to PC
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
Your device should reboot automatically once Odin finished flashing. Agree to do a factory reset if asked.
Install the Magisk app you’ve already downloaded above and launch the app. It should show a dialog asking for additional setup.
Let the app do its job and automatically reboot the device. Voila!
Upgrading the OSOnce you have rooted your Samsung device, you can no longer upgrade your Android OS through OTA. To upgrade your device’s OS, you have to manually download the new firmware zip file and go through the same AP patching process written in the previous section. The only difference here is in the Odin flashing step: do NOT use the CSC tar, but instead use the HOME_CSC tar as we are performing an upgrade, not the initial install.
Important Notes
Never, ever try to restore either boot, recovery, or vbmeta partitions back to stock! You can brick your device by doing so, and the only way to recover from this is to do a full Odin restore with data wipe.
To upgrade your device with a new firmware, NEVER directly use the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always patch AP in the Magisk app and use that instead.
Never just flash only AP, or else Odin may shrink your /data filesystem size. Flash AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.
PS : It is strongly recommended to make EFS backup once you root device and save to safer place like on cloud or PC

Happy to see you here on Note 20 Ultra Dr. Ketan my bro.

Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode,long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device
Installation (Flashing) custom binaries

2.Download Magisk Patched Kernel and extract on PC
Open Odin as administrator (Above downloaded Zip have included Odin)
Select Roor_N986*.tar.md5 file (you have downloaded & Extracted on PC in above instructions) for AP tab of Odin
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option
4.Now start flashing and wait till it finish. When you see a PASS sign on Odin, disconnect device.
Now magisk is successfully finished but yet you need to follow instructions below.
Factory reset
After disconnecting device, keep holding Vol down + Side key to exit from download mode.
Here is very important - when you see device reboot As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Volume Up + Side Key to boot to recovery partition. continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
Select Reboot system now
The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, Download Magisk Manager and manually install the APK you downloaded and continue to the next step.
Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device. (You must needed to connected to internet)

Mostly U version is Snapdragon with unlock bootloader and not rootable. Confirm first if you have unlocked bootloader.
Also last 3 digit of firmware is weird. Which device is this? Can you post screenshot of phone info?

What I guess, here unlocked means sim unlocked NOT bootloader.
Some people might need clarification. An "unlocked" phone is not the same as a phone with an unlockable bootloader. If it's the same pattern from the past several years of Note releases. All of the snapdragon US versions won't have the ability to have their boot loaders unlocked, therefore a root. This root method most likely applies to the non-US Exynos versions. If you live in the US, and ordered your phone through Samsung or any carrier, it will be the snapdragon version. I hope I'm proven wrong.

(PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!)
Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode,long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device
Installation (Flashing) custom binaries
1. Switch off the device and reboot to download mode (As said earlier) and select volume up to continue
2.Download Magisk Patched Kernel and extract on PC
Open Odin as administrator (Above downloaded Zip have included Odin)
Select Roor_N986*.tar.md5 file (you have downloaded & Extracted on PC in above instructions) for AP tab of Odin
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option
4.Now start flashing and wait till it finish. When you see a PASS sign on Odin, disconnect device.
Now magisk is successfully finished but yet you need to follow instructions below.
Factory reset
After disconnecting device, keep holding Vol down + Side key to exit from download mode.
Here is very important - when you see device reboot As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Volume Up + Side Key to boot to recovery partition. continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
Select Reboot system now
The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, Download Magisk Manager and manually install the APK you downloaded and continue to the next step.
Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device. (You must needed to connected to internet)

Hi thanks for the rooting instructions. I would like to know if you or anyone has gotten the option for s pen pointer under air commands in your note advanced settings? Jimmy is promo does but every other youtube doesnt have that option so im wondering what note 20 has it and what firmware? Anyone feel free to chime in
If you have rooted the Note 20 ultra 5g (Germany), can i start it normally or do you have to hold a key combination?

If you root with Method mentioned in OP, you should able to boot with root without using combo keys
I coming from the note 9.
If it's rooted, how do I update it?
(Switch from csc to talk (Vodafone DE to DBT) I know that has nothing to do with this topic )

Plz post your question to appropriate forum
ok a new topic, "how do i update a rooted note 20 ultra 5g" Ok I'll do it as soon as I have mine.
no one has the S pen pointer option?
Also have any of you signed up for beta 3.0 android 11 for the s20? Im guessing you guys have early access because the note 20 isnt even out yet.
After (more or less) successfully flashing my S10 5G (assume S10+ as it has 6.7 Inch display) to a custom ROM, I got nag screens from Knox security telling me it wasn't running the software Samsung wanted it to, dangerous etc. and fiddled around some more, when I accidentally bricked it with a failed Odin transfer.
Now it only shows a turquoise colored screen with a big precaucion icon and the words "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" but I'm not sure to what this exactly refers and whether really Samsung software is prepared to catch up this situation. It does show up in Odin but I can't seem to get it back working.
Any help is much appreciated!
You can use Samfirm and odin to restore firm :
It explain how to install official ROM and how root , just ignore Magisk install and the AP repatch.
To force download mod , push power and vol - to force restart the phone ... and when the screen going off , push bixby and vol - and directly put the usb cable in the phone from your pc. To valid the download mod press vol +.
