Hi there,
Just got a new S5 mini (SM-G800F) today. I've updated to latest Android version (4.4.2). I did not install any custom ROM. Build ID was KOT49H.G800FFXXU1ANJ1.
I've then rooted the phone successfully with CF-Auto-Root (http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/) and Odin. The closest file I found was KOT49H.G800FXXU1ANH2. ANJ1 to ANH2 looks like a "downgrade"... perhaps this is the issue? But read on..
I then started to install corporate access (Exchange account). Our corporation wants to have the device encrypted so I started to do that.
What basically happens is that the encryption droid symbol shows on the screen for about 20 minutes and after that the device reboots.
Yet, no encryption has happened! (is the anywhere a logfile I can look at for more info?)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with 4.1.2, stock ROM as well and rooted with CF-Auto-Root. On that device the encryption process was more verbose and worked fine (although slowed down the phone considerably during normal usage).
So, does rooting the S5 mini with Autoroot break the encryption process? How can I encrypt the phone? Do I have to go back to pure unrooted stock, encrypt first and root later?
Thanks for any insights.

I still do not know why encryption would not work, but I found a workaround:
I reset the phone to the latest stock firmware with the help of Kies 3. I got G800FFXXU1ANG7. Obviously I lost all data, but that is ok since its a brand new phone.
Started the phone and configured WLAN to accept and install pending OTA upgrade. Just to get to the very latest release at the moment (G800FFXXU1ANJ2).
Encrypted device. I installed the corporate access tools which required the encryption...
Then I installed latest TWRP for my device with ODIN.
Last step was to install SuperSu with TWRP, using the zip file from chainfire.
Some remarks:
- I am not sure why encryption fails while the phone is rooted. Perhaps someone could explain to me?
- If I use CF-Autoroot after encryption of the device, the phone would go into a boot loop, i.e. not asking for the decrypt password and fall back to the boot logo. I thought that encryption would only touch /data. Most likely there is something that initiates decryption during boot, which is replaced by the CF-Autoroot image.
- OTA updates are not possible anymore after installing TWRP recovery (the phone complains that there are changes to the stock ROM). However, if I re-flashed with a stock recovery, OTA was not complaining anymore. If an update would actually work, I have not checked.
- If SuperSu is already installed however, even TWRP re-flashing with stock recovery would not make OTA work again. I would assume that the OTA update routine checks several components to decide if there is stock installed. Temporarily disabling SuperSu did not work, un-rooting through the SuperSu menu left me with SuperSu hanging for an hour until I switched the phone off. I also tried the OTA survival mode (I have SuperSU Pro) and it does not work either (in that try I left out step 2 above).
So for now I have a rooted S5 mini on Android 4.4.2 with encryption and I am happy. I did live without OTA with my S3 (which still is on 4.1.2) since I rooted it and frankly, I did not really miss 4.3...

If you change some files (like Recoery or rooting) OTA won't work anymore on any Samsung Rom...only pure Stock!

Thanks. That is what I thought.
1 - Encryption fails if the phone (S5 mini, 4.4.2) is rooted. Why? However, encrypting a rooted S3 (4.1.2 stock) did work fine. Was there anything changed with the newer Android versions?
2 - Do we know what the OTA process is checking to decide if it can go ahead or stall? SuperSu's OTA survival surely knows a bit more on that.. but unfortunately it still won't work..

Hey, how did you manage to root Android 5.0? Could you please message me and help me out?
Hi guys,
I have juat registered here which means I am new to this. Before I decided to post my question I was looking for answer but couldn't really find one.
I upgraded from S4 to S5 few days ago (Rogers) and the phone upgraded the software as soon as it connected to wifi so I am now on 5.1.1.
I found few apps to root my S5 without pc but they dont either work with my phobe or my software version.
I don't mibd rooting it via pc as long as I can keep both uaer data and some preinstalled apps untouched.
Can you please point me to how to do it step by step (if possible)?
Thank you in advance

Thank you but it says "Root strategy unavailable", I tried it earlier and retroed now but same result.
Any other possible solutions please?
I don't mind if I have to do it through pc as long as I dont loae user data and pre-installed apps.
Thanks
Anybody? Please!
Hey dont know if you solved your problem yet but after extensive reading and tinckering i finally managed to root my s5 on telus running 5.1.1. For starters I can care less if i trip knox so its tripped but to be honest I wouldnt be able to tell you if its from me installing different roms on my phone. Anyways this is how I did it on my phone. ( Credit is given to every dev that created thes apps and I in no way claim to have come up with it on my own).
1 Using Odin flash twrp
(Dl newest version of odin. Connect your phone in download mode ( down home power))
2 Download twrp or any other custom recovery
3 Open Odin select AP find the custom recovery file push start.
4 Download the newest version of supersu which can be found anywhere on xda. It has to be 2.67 or it will not work. And place the zip on your sdcard.
5 Reboot into custom recovery click install find the supersu and install it.
6 Reboot phone when asked if you want to install supersu do not do it upon reboot.
And there yah go root access.
Donno if that helps but it seems to work for me. SM-G900W8

It would work for you. You have a Canadian version which isn't bootloader locked like ours is.

Hi guys,
I have successfuly updated my SM-G800F phone using G800FXXU1BOL4_G800FVFG1BOL1_G800FXXU1BOL3_HOME (Cyprus version) today. I also tried to root it using Odin3-v3.07.exe and CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5. Unfortunately, this leads into instant boot loop. I just reflashed phone to Lollipop again. Can you help me with rooting this version?
Rooting certainly is possible, even on that exact ROM.
Some notes:
- With stock ROMs you should generally not root before you have completed the setup wizard
- The only variant of root that works with the stock Lollipop ROM is "Systemless" root
- The Odin version you're using is outdated. It *might* make a difference to update.
When you ran AutoRoot, did it claim it was performing systemless root?
Thanks for your reply, got rooted. I found CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f was outdated too.
Hello,
I have a KFFOWI which I rooted some months ago with Superjunky tool, and it worked great. Recently I lost root following Supersu messy update. I tried today to restore root with Superjunky tool : King root rooted succesfully, then when it was time to install supersu and delete Supersu something went wrong, script maybe didn't have root access, well I don't know.
My device is now stuck at the Fire boot animation. I'm ready to restore a stock version, but how can I be sure of the one which was installed, as I don't want to restore a different version and hard brick ? Is there a way from recovery or bootloader to identify firmware version ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Displaying logs under recovery, I think I identified version : 5.1.1

5.1.1 likely references the underlying version of Android which FireOS and all custom ROMs for this device are built upon.
To be absolutely safe reload FireOS 5.3.1 which is the highest rootable build. Before doing that try a factory reset (clearing cache/data) from the recovery menu. Often does the trick.
Thanks. Installed 5.3.1.
Then several attempts to root it with Supertool/King root, around 6 or 7.
Everything works great now.
