Root your S5 (CF-Auto Root)

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd’s (KRX:005935) new Galaxy S5 smartphone can now be rooted using the CF-Auto-Root tool, developed by Chainfire, a recognized member of the XDA Developers forum.
Rooting a device allows users to get complete access to the device’s operating system to make changes to the file systems. In order to root the Galaxy S5 running on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat, users are required to flash the CF-Auto-Root file in the smartphone.
Users will have to download the appropriate CF-Auto-Root package for their Galaxy S5 models. Users can check the model number by going to Settings > About phone > Model number.
Here are the download links to CF-Auto-Root packages:
Points To Remember Before Rooting
- Users are recommended to back-up all data before rooting the device
- The device should have at least 80 percent charge left on the battery
- USB drivers must be installed on the computer with USB Debugging enabled on the device to transfer files between the phone and computer
- Users should ensure they are using the correct root package for their device

Tutorial
Step 1: Download CF-Auto-Root package and Odin v3.09. Then, extract the files to the computer.
Step 2: Boot the Galaxy S5 in Download mode by pressing and holding down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together. When a warning screen is displayed, press the Volume Up button to enter Download mode.
Step 3: Now, run Odin3 v3.09.exe as an Administrator and then connect the Galaxy S5 to the PC via USB cable. If connected successfully, a message showing “Added!!” will appear in Odin’s message box, if not, try another USB port. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the USB driver.
Step 4: Click on the AP button, and select the CF-Auto-Root file (a .tar.md5 file), which was extracted in Step 1.
Step 5: In Odin, make sure that the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are checked while “repartition” is unchecked.
Step 6: Click on the Start button in Odin to begin the flashing process.
Step 7: After the process is complete, the Galaxy S5 will restart and a PASS message with green background will appear in the left-most box at the top of Odin.
Voila! you have successfully rooted your S5!

And this will also trip KNOX I supose?

This method seems sooooo much more complex than towelroot and potentially more risky?

Yes, in the developer's original thread, and he should be getting the thanks for it.

Hello,
I tried to root my wife's Dodgee X5 pro, but with no success. Kingoroot do not works and trying other systems I erased all the phone, just to notice the sms/mms where not backed up (done by now...) - my fault.
jdd

Been having a problem with this
I rooted my old X5 Pro when it was on Lolipop - 5.1 and now I have a new one after my old one broke its on 6.0. and now I can't find any way of rooting it, I have used SP tools etc, I have tried kingroot, kingoroot, oneclickroot, all of them and nothing works. I don't think anyone is rooting the new updated X5 PRO

I rooted my x5 max pro, a few days ago. You need twrp and a custom ROM . I used resurrection remix.

Fast/Simple Guide to Unbrick Redmi Note 7

Hey guys!
I make the tutorial using external links but i'm a new member and dont have permission to post.
Now i removed the external links, but i think will work in this way.
After a lot of trying and breaking my face(brazilian slang) with various mistakes and unsuccessful procedures, I managed to restore my device (Redmi Note 7 Lavender).
In my case, the smartphone had a completely black screen.
Files used for the procedure.
MiFlash without Authentication Needed: Mi Flash 20170425
ARB4 Lavender GLOBAL ROM: Look for the lavender V10.2.7.0.PFGMIXM Fastboot version.
Xiaomi ADB Drivers
Qualcomm Drivers: QDLoader-HS-USB Driver 32bit and QDLoader-HS-USB Driver 64bit install both
FileHose File: prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.mbn
Step 1:
:good:Extract MiFlash and Lavender ROM for another partition or clean folder on you hard disk.
I used D:/ and created a new folder only for this procedure.
:good:Extract and install Xiaomi Adb Drivers and Qualcomm Drivers
:good:Exctrat FileHose and copy the archieve to the Lavender ROM/images folder
Example: D:\LavenderROM\images or C:\Users\User1\Downloads\ARB4 ROM\images
Note: In this folder have another filehose file called: prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ... DELETE THIS FILE!
All done, time to make things happens
Step 2
I removed the back cover of my device, used only the heat gun and the suction cup for removal.
Some people try using deep flash cable DFC.
But I used the testpoint method to perform my procedure, then i need to remove the back cover.
Step 3
Now, u have to remove the battery plugin, need to remove the cover:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And see the connector like this:
Plug the Type C cable in USB2.0 or USB3.0 port and but dont plug on smartphone now.
First u need to locate the testpoint dots like this:
Step 4
Open Mi Flash with administrator privileges and select the folder where you placed the FileHose file.
Example: C:\Users\User1\Downloads\ARB4 ROM\images
And now u will make the testpoint procedure.
Connect the cable to the device and at the same time you must press the test points using tweezers for 3~5 seconds.
Like this:
Open the Device Manager and look into the COM and LPT item to see if u device will be recognized.
You see a Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008 COM4 (The number is just an example, in my case the COM port was 4)
Now you click on REFRESH on Mi Flash Tool then if you bootloader has unlocked, in the checkbox named "clean all" um have to mark this.
Click on Flash.
Maybe everything I said is something that is full of the same on the internet, but I hope it will serve someone who is experiencing the same problem as mine and who has not found a solution.
I tested several tutorials until I got it this way, using these same files that I left linked here!
God Bless all of us!

can you help? i need that patched file for redmi note 7 pro. pls if u can do something

Question HELP

my device is locked in fastboot after flashing gsi, i tried all but nothing, so i locked the bootloader, i know i'm dumb but i was and i am desperate, solutions? idk if there is still a rom in because it was empty and i tried the fastboot method to reflash rom like flash boot.img and vbmeta.img and others (nothing changed).

UPDATE, i unlocked the bootloader but the problem is still here, i tried to flash rom with fastboot but it fails with system and vendor, i think that's the problem.

logs? photos? how you flashed? what you flashed?

Supposing your bootloader is unlocked, just follow this guide taken from this Mi official page.
Method 2: Fastboot Update
Note
A Windows PC/laptop will be needed for the following steps. Make sure that your device is fully charged or has enough power for this process. This guide will help you update your device to the latest MIUI ROM version. All user data will be purged in this process. Please back up your data and think twice before proceeding.
STEP 1
Download MIUI ROM Flashing Tool (Size: 66.7 MB)
STEP 2
Select the right MIUI ROM version for your phone:
★ Redmi Note 11 [spes] Global
★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Global
★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Europe
★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Russia
STEP 3
Turn off the device. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a USB cable
STEP 4
Double click on the downloaded ROM file to decompress it. Open the file folder for the decompressed ROM pack, and copy its path on the computer.
STEP 5
Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install (if there is security warning, select 'Run'). After installation is completed, open MiFlash.exe and paste into the address bar the ROM file folder path copied in the last step.
Click on the first button (circled out in yellow) to Refresh, and MiFlash should automatically recognize the device. Then click the second button (circled out in red) to flash the ROM file to the device.

}
STEP 6
Wait until the progress bar inside MiFlash turns fully green, which means the ROM has been successfully installed. Then your device should automatically boot to the new version.
If the flashing guide could not help you, please download Mi PC Suite here (after Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash).

I finally solved, i unlocked bootloader again with mi unlock and i followed this instructions, thx
