is ROOT(ing) possible without re-install the whole phone?

Hi,
Is ROOT(ing) possible without re-install the whole phone?
Information and links are welcome

Use kingroot, its on xda.
Then use super sume to remove the Chinese elements and replace with SuperSU.

Thanks for you suggestion!
Unfortunately it does not work on my (SM-G800F) Phone even it is listed as a supported device.

Also no luck with the KingRoot v3.0 Desktop version.
Anyone have the knowledge for rooting this phone whithout re-install everithing on it?

Sorry I too have an 800F and its worked a great for me.
I used version 4.5 of kingroot

Thanks for the link.
The file you mention is normaly for the smg900h (S5) but I have the smg800f (S5 mini).
I think it's not possible to use 'H' on a 'F' version!?

If we use @Chainfire methode to root our device, do we need to re-install all our apps as it would on a new clean install or wil all our apps still be there after a re-boot ?

No you will NOT loose any data.

So sorry for the late reply. No the chainfire method does not wipe any data or applications. Just flash the file and it will root and do everything itself. Hench the name "autoroot."

Thanks for making this clear!
Okay, so we need to use ODIN v3.xx and put the phone in download mode by pressing Vol-Down + Home + Power button till it comes into recovery mode, having ODIN already running with administrator rights and than plug-in the micro-usb cable.
I guess we need to use PDA button to load the file, do we have to tick other options as well ?
Thanks for the help !!!!

I just rooted my SM-G800F with this file: CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.zip and I can confirm that all my apps and data are intact :good:

Hi, I'm a little bit confused here. Are we talking about the same context, i.e., an SM-G800[x] running Android 5.1.1? The landing page of the official repository states explicitly that "CF-AUTO-ROOT IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL FOR ANDROID 6.0+, OR SAMSUNG ON ANDROID 5.1+".
Besides that, the download page doesn't list Lollipop versions, only 4.4.x.
Cheers

@RGold55
Yes there is only 4.4.2 supported
Read the obove text line: CF-Auto-Root Repository

So you did ok by rooting your G800 KK Android, as I did to mine last year, with that very same flashable. But, alas, CF-Autoroot for Lollipop is still in the dream stage.

Xposed flashing

So apparently after i flash the files and tried to reboot my S7 Edge Exynos it got stuck in loading screen and doesn't enter home page. I guess it's bricked. Is there any way to fix it? Force factory reset or something. Sincerely need help , guess it's an expensive lesson.

Use Odin to flash the Xposed uninstaller ZIP.
You probably used the wrong branch of Xposed for your device.

Not an option if you're already bootlooped, use a custom recovery or reflash stock and start over.

Go to the Xposed for Samsung on Lollipop/Marshmallow thread, scroll down to Version names and you will see which names apply to your device, based on its processor type and version of Android.
Then, follow the Download link and download the file corresponding to your device. Don't forget to install the package installer afterwards.
You don't need to install any .asc files. I don't even know what they are.

Sorry for this long message and thanks for your help. I've checked and i've downloaded the correct files. I didn't wipe dalvik/cache before i flashed it previously but now i did , and then flashed the xposed. It said "failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)" so i wasn't sure if it succeeded or not hence i flashed the uninstaller to prevent it from bootlooping again. Was It correctly installed?

I doubt it.
What are you using to flash? It sounds as if you're using TWRP and trying to mount an encrypted /data.

You can't mount /data from TWRP without without removing encryption first, which would entail a full wipe.
Use FlashFire instead. This runs from the booted OS, so any file-system encryption is transparent.

Thanks a lot. I tried flashing it and it said it couldn't be mounted. It finished quickly so i could only catch a glance of it. According to the link your gave me SDK23 is for Android Version 6.0.1 which is correct. What i'm not sure is my OS. It stated that ARM64 is for S7 but is there any chance that ARM might work for me ( provided it wouldn't bootloop)? Sorry for being a pain in the ass!

You should be able to flash it with FlashFire. I have a G935F and this is how I upgrade Xposed every time a new version comes out.
Whatever problem you have, you should get to the bottom of it now, because you'll still have it when the next version of Xposed is released.

Hmmm. Alright so I've started using Flashfire , and added 'xposed-v85-sdk23-arm64.zip' into the action , with the options of 'Mount /system read/write' and 'Preserve recovery' and i click Flash. It reboots , I install the Xposed 3.0 alpha4. Then there's red words asking if i installed the framework / rebooted it.

you need stock recovery to install updates, also, you can not have root before flashing

I unrooted completely but I don't have the stock recovery.

Problem -- Music folder
Flashed B380, everything is fine. One thing that drives me crazy -- on inernal memory, there is a Music folder that appeared after update, with some songs on it, and it cannot be deleted, nor folder nor files... Tried it from file manager, windows, adb (permission denied)... Still, folder and file permissions look fine... Any ideas, please?

Why is everyboday asking if someone tried and if it works fine?! I wrote in the OP that I tried and it works fine.
B380 seems to be very smooth.

Already flash this rom and so far so good but too bad all my themes and fonts collection in HWThemes folder (internal storage) is wiped.
New features found so far :
- Display network speed
- Users mode (option to set as owner or guest)
- Huawei ID now working (not new features but before this i can't access it, at least where i live)

Personally I think is not worth it. This is not final build and will delete data from your device. Then next one will show up in couple days or even (maybe) tomorrow. If I will you I will wait for around another 3-4 weeks to get more stable build.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA Premium HD app

I tried it -- the installation took about an hour in Recovery, mainly stayed in the "Patching system files". This install *WILL* wipe your phone (not your SD card though).
The build was super fast (even faster than a fresh Nougat flash).
There were two things that caused me to flash back to Nougat.
- The Wi-Fi was extremely weak. At my desk at work, I can normally see 6 Wi-Fi networks. 4 of them are in my office. With Oreo, I could only see two of them, and it struggled to stay connected to the one that I normally have full signal on.
- Also, my AT&T Gear S2 Classic could not be connected. Upon attempting to pair (after confirming the PIN on phone/watch) Samsung Gear gave a message stating that I need to ensure my phone was compatible and that I had the latest Samsung Gear app. I confirmed that there were no available updates for ANYTHING in the Play Store and Galaxy Apps. Both stores showed that my app was up to date.
If it weren't for those two issues, I'd still be on the Oreo build right now.
Another point -- I experienced my first freeze/reboot on this phone in Oreo. I've had the phone since June of last year and never had any freeze/reboot issues previously. Never dropped or gotten the phone wet, etc.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to flash the build!

Without a PC, you cannot update to Oreo unless you're already on the AT&T G935A firmware.

As far as I can tell, there's not an OTA sideload update path to BRA1. Someone else may be able to chime in with it.

Thanks for the feeback, I tried this and I agree on weak Wifi on Oreo. I will keep and play with it for sometime before going back to Nougat. Hopefully new stable version shows up soon.

You are a lucky man because i'm flashing via adb and only 59 %. Which issue with a WiFi ? Can you please provide me more information and maybe do you know who will it fix ?
Thank you

I face the same issues you have described. Originally after applying the Oreo update, I was not able to enable Bluetooth nor WiFi. I had to reboot to recovery and wipe cache.
Once that was done, I was able to get WiFi and Bluetooth to work.
I have the Galaxy Fit2 and was not able to sync watch to the phone with the same error you received. ( I tried the version 3..1.80.80109 of Samsung Accessory Service as suggested in another thread, no luck.)
WiFi as you described is pitiful, luckily I don't rely on WiFi as much so I will continue on with this Oreo build.

Does anyone know how to turn off the red heart rate sensor light off? It is accidentally turning on even if I dont get my finger on it after oreo update

Wifi issue meaning weak signals in Wifi connection on Oreo. I simply followed the steps in flashing through SD card and it took a while (40 mins or so) but eventually it went through the install.

Have you tried using Samsung's Smart Switch app and seeing if there's an update from there? (might take a while before it shows up, so be patient)

Try an open firmware via Odin of your country if you have a Exynos SOC.
Flash via Odin with your prepaid sim card installed. Normally your csc code changed after this.
Use JDownloader to download free fw updates like websites sammobile.
JDownloader still has a crc check to beware corrupt download archiv.

If he purchased the phone in the US from AT&T as he stated, it won't be an Exynos, UT yes he can use Odin and update manually.

Same is the case with me like OP but I do get notification on Smart Switch that a new update is available. The size is 5GB which means it's a full ROM and not just OTA equivalent file. I need to know if installing the update will wipe the phone or not.
There's no mentioning of this aspect anywhere in Smart Switch help section or on the update notification.

thanks man I've flash U1 software its wiped everything but it works well :good:
now will i receive OTA future updates or i have to do it manually ?

If you want to test for OTA updates, use "settings - software update" manually...
Also, if you want Android 10 beta, download Samsung members app in playstore and register for open beta.
For safe debugging: Activate developer options - oem unlock!
Please use the thanks button... [emoji6]
Have fun and no problem.

I tried to install One UI 3 android 11 and didn't let me install it's said current software is up to date, this is AT&T carriers so please help me, thank you.
