hello i have found root you need to check out root junkys video he will list the stuff you need to dohttps://youtu.be/5-ubrnWdGT4
No you did not find root. These guys did. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/samsung-galaxy-s8-root-snapdragon-t3659305
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. You will be stuck on the weird engineered firmware where it only charges up to 80%. Towards the end when you flash the BL File if I can remember you will get stuck in a boot. Luckily I am experienced and managed to recover my verizon s8 to stock with some samsung files I managed to find that were the latest (with odin program given in the other folder). Long story short, don't even bother unless you want to waste like 2 days and stressing out over a bricked s8. Every when I recovered it I had to flash to BL file again since even then it was stuck in a boot mode where verizon logo would only show

Hi guys, thanks for the forum and i hope to become a part of it. I've been under so much stress since yesterday, my galaxy s3 (on EE in the UK) for the first time decided it's data was corrupted yesterday after my battery died, never done this or anything like it before, and it wouldn't let me access the phone itself unless the data was reset.
I had a lot of very precious pictures in my gallery from the weekend, which unfortunately chose not to backup to google+ for the last few days, even though it always has up until recently. All night/day i've been trying to figure out and get software to recover these photos, which i think is possible as i did it a long time ago on a blackberry, but not android yet. I'm just hoping it can be done so the photos aren't forever lost, the other stuff gone doesn't bother me so much.
The guide i'm following (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705) says it needs to be rooted first, and i can't even get past step 1. I've only ever rooted my old galaxy S1 (which worked back then) but i can't seem to get the S3 to do it. And now my phone also believes there's no sim card in and i get no signal now.
this is the guide i followed: http://www.ibtimes.com/how-root-sam...-jelly-bean-official-firmware-tutorial-975812
though i think i need a newer PDA file to flash my i9305 with. I'm on the EE network running 4.3 jelly. It installed Super SU but root checker says it still isn't rooted.
So have i messed this up? And is there any hope for me getting these pictures back?
Thanks in advance for any help, it's much appreciated.
if you are running on 4.3 then you are not following the right guide to root...
use THIS ONE instead... if it fails to root use the workaround part, i used it and worked....used the workaround to install custom recovery and then flashed chainfire zip from his website and updated SU and worked.
are you still able to boot the phone?
Thanks for the response, tried that guide and still getting no signal on my phone (no mobile connection at all, sim card isn't recognised as being there) and i don't think it's rooted right. Still saying SuperSU has stopped working when i try to open it.
I put the Root_SuperSU.1.02-Busybox.1.21.0.zip on the internal SD and tried that too.
Which is the chainfire zip you're talking about, could you possibly link it? I don't really get what you mean by custom recovery, do you mean it's the same as flashing the Busybox thing from recovery mode?
And yeah it still boots up normally...
use that tutorial to install a custom recovery...then install this SuperSU - http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1 - flash it in custom recovery....after that update app with playstore and should work.
but i suggest you get it to a specialized shop to get your photos back...
#1-"com.tmobile.pr.adapt (10001) has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell" pops up on my screen every 30 seconds on the bottom of my screen in a grey box.
#2- i also noticed that i can accept and recieve calls but i can not hear, nor can the other person hear me. if i use hangouts video call, skype, etc it works fine.
#3-i also tried to get rom manager to make a recovery and it says it needs to get CWD recovery to install a new software, the first thing we need to do is install a up to date version, we will begin that process now... etc.. then it says to get started you must first sset up a custom recovery, it gives two options a samsung galaxy s3 on metro pcs or a samsung previal 2 on boost mobile, or device not listed, when i click that it says "SM-G920T does not have an officially supported CWDR yet. Have you installed a CWD based recovery manually?" so im not sure what to do from there, or if i even need that. i have been a iphone user since day one went to android after reading up a lot on it, although rooting is quite different than jailbreaking it seems, i am incredibly excited to get started if i can get past these little problems and get started and figure everything out. ANY advice, or anwsers to these problems would be Greatly appreciated! thanks!
Also i went to dev options in settings and noticed the "OEM unlocking- allow the bootloader to be unlocker" was turned off, i dont know if this is necessary to root if i did something wrong by not turning it on or what, or if it may fix any problems above if i turn it on now. thanks!
I have a samsung Galaxy S6 (SM_G920T) . i Rooted and did not trip Knox, Although i did just remember that my fingerprint sensor is not working either.
Thank you guys so much this si a incredible forum i have spent hours and hours reading and researching before making this post i appreciate it so much!
#1 Freeze that ****. Use some root tool to freeze that T-mobile apk, seems u gave it root permissions at some point. I believe there are a lot of apps that you will want to do the same.
#2 ? No idea. Stock rom/kernel?
#3 What is this I don't even. Don't do that. Go to TWRP's official web, get your zeroflte (SM-GT920T) twrp and flash it via ODIN, or else get the recovery.img and use flashify. All that assuming you want a custom recovery.
You will need to unlock the bootloader if you are on 5.1.1. I believe locked will prevent changes or wiping anything on the OS partitions, even recovery (can someone confirm?)
I believe jailbraking and rooting should be pretty much similar, if not the same, as both target to grant the user root access to do whatever he pleases on the OS.
Welcome to android btw.
How did you root? Sounds like you used the modified sboot which causes no sounds in calls and nonfunctional fingerprint scanner. If so, flash back to stock and use a different rooting method. The rest, pretty much what the above poster stated
Root
I rooted using the version that I found the only one that works it seemed like, went to Odin put my phone In download mode and then put the boot loader download in BL and the. Put a something unikernel.sbin I believe, whatever the guide said also then it was done. I thought you couldn't use the twrp or custom recovery etc on tmobile one yet but I just read a thing about xtrestolite odex pure v2 which says it's for 5.1.1 and my model of phone but in the guide it says to root using CF auto root and a link there to it but the link doesn't have my phone on the list that the guide that clearly is my phone says to use I don't know if I'm missing something but I want to use it I understand most of it but I don't know if I need to unropt first and re root then use Odin and flash twrp that's supported on my phone then use that to recover the rom. Etc. The kernel that says is used in the guide is the same one I downloaded so do I need to remove it all then let it do that or?
Sorry if this didn't make sense I'm halfway there between confused and understood I have spent the last 10 hours reading and trying to figure this out though lol. Thanks guys!
Also
Sorry for adding more but also how do I flash back to stock? Search for the download to the stock image of my phone? Also I could only find one way of rooting everything else said it wasn't working yet or am I missing a big portion of something here?
Just flash the 5.1.1 firmware to return to stock. To root, flash unikernel with Odin. The other method you used was to not trip knox, but as you experienced has side effects. I had to Odin back to 5.1.1 myself. Can't have those issues
thanks!
so how do i flash back to 5.1.1? find the ling to completely stock 5.1.1 and flash through odin in the same spot and same way i flashed the kernel to root? also.. i rooted with " s6_UniKernel_v2-0003-ODIN.tar" is that not the one you were talking about?

Yes, flashing to 5.1.1 works exactly like that. You need to get the version for your model (very important on this one) and then simply place that file in the AP field of ODIN while the device is in recovery mode. It is normal for ODIN to freeze for 2 minutes while verifying. Make sure to use a MD5 checker tool on the firmware before flashing.
Rooting has historically required more technical savvy and balls than jailbreaking, but PingPong made rooting the S6 brain-dead simple. CF-Auto root is still pretty painless, but you must make sure you have the right zip for your device.
Anyhoo, the quickest & easiest way to restore phone calls & fingerprint scan is to use Odin to get back to bone stock.
Next, use PingPong to root. After rooting, "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" will ask for root access. That is T-Mobile's "phone home" app and sends info about your device (probably including root status). Deny it root access and make sure you check "Remember my choice", and it won't bother you again. You will not lose any functionality by denying it root, so terminate that crap.
Don't bother with rom manager. CWM is archaic. If you want a custom recovery, use TWRP. You can install TWRP either using Odin or TWRP Manager app (it's free).
Good luck and have fun with your S6

Are you still rooted? If so, and if you are experiencing the call audio issue, go flash AOU's kernel. He has made a kernel for the tmo s6. that should eliminate your call audio issue. The finger print scanner is the only issue with flashing his kernel. Also, I rooted with the modded sboot, his TWRP and kernel, and I didn't trip knox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...recovery-twrp2-8-6-0-g925t-5-1-1-of6-t3143002
I'm currently stuck at the s5 active logo screen and then it boots into recovery. I've tried flashing the full odin.rar (yes I extracted it) and it fails everytime. I get the message "Sw REV CHeck Fail: [aboot]Fused 2> Binary 1. I've already tried wiping the data from the recovery menu. Nothing is working.
We need more info. What were you attempting to do and from what ROM. Are you sure you are using the proper ROM 900 or 870?
I was attempting to downgrade back to stock from 5.0 and hit the stock kernel instead of the firmware accidently when in odin. And yes I am absolutely sure i'm using the 870 rom.
Edit: What if I use a stock img and a PIT file for the phone? OR is it because I need a 5.0 lollipop firmware to flash through odin?
Edit number 2: okay I'm stupid, im on G870AUCU2BOF3. I'm going to have to reflash the of3 zip aren't I?
Okay so I found the OF3 cfg on another thread and was able to load it and flash it and get my phone working! Now, the next question is can I root in my situation or downgrade or am I just stuck?
Edit: Going to wait for a possible root! Mod can close this thread.
if you loaded the 2400258.cfg you probably loaded the OF3 bootloader as well and now you can't go back. No root at this time and it doesn't look good for the future.

At command prompt type without the qoutes.
"getprop ro.bootloader"
Then paste output.

If you took the of3 ota or are otherwise on the of3 bootloader your stuck there....no downgrade or root as of this time.
Me too
I am in a similar situation. Saturday I was on a rooted 4.4.2, flashed a stock unrooted 4.4.2 with Odin (G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5), let AT&T update me to 4.4.4, installed the old kernel with Odin (G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5), rooted with towelroot, installed the new kernel with Odin (G870A_OA1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5), updated to 5.0 with Odin and it retained root. However, certain things such as XPosed didn't work and I really really hated the white notification drawer so I just want to go back. I tried flashing the stock 4.4.2 in Odin again and it said success. It restarts and seems to be working but gets stuck on the AT&T logo. Now if I restart it always sticks on the AT&T logo even when I flash again. I don't know what else to try. A different file? Is there a way to go back to KitKat?
Update: I got into recovery mode (I kept trying vol up, vol down, power but it's actually vol up, home, power). I wiped the cache and did a data reset and restarted the phone. It worked! I'm excited to have a black notification screen again

How long did you have to wait for your phone to boot all the way up from the ATT logo? Mine is doing exactly the same thing and I've flashed all kinds of kernels via odin and heimdall with no affect. None of the various fixes I've found have helped, including trying to re-apply the OTA file (system just won't do it). All I wanted was to unroot. Awesome.
The first boot can take a while but if it lasts more than 10 minutes it's probably not going to happen. I've gotten it stuck there twice since my last post and I'm always able to salvage it by going into recovery mode (vol up, home, power while powered off). Wipe the cache and data reset and it should be a fresh start like out of the box new.
Hm. So the only real two options are take it in to AT&T and hope they have the full stock G870AUCU2BOF3 image to flash over (since Samsung locked down their bootloader so hard, so downgrading is impossible :good: ) or hope they release G870AUCU2BOF3 on SamMobile/Kies/Smart Switch. This is like the new hard brick... potentially it's salvageable but the company (I'm guessing AT&T here since this is an AT&T exclusive phone) is just screwing us. Guess I'll try the walk of shame to AT&T. Or maybe putting in a claim like that one person did, get a whole new phone because of a mysterious cut on the rear panel seal...
Alright, took it in to AT&T and sure enough they had the full 5.0 image available so after signing a no-return data waiver (didn't even confirm my AT&T account or ask for any ID) the tech took my phone in the back and flashed it back to stock. First boot still showed the "custom" with unlocked padlock on the boot screen but after I rebooted it, I guess it updated the bootloader because it was back to normal.
No more root and he confirmed there's no way to go back to 4.4 once you go up to 5.0, so if you want root, I'd suggest staying away from 5.0. At least now I can use my phone again. Just thought I'd post this up in case anyone wasn't sure if AT&T would actually be able to reflash stock 5.0 and at the very least get your phone working again... enough to put on ebay and get a Moto or some other brand that doesn't lock down the bootloader so hard.
Edit: note the first boot will take a few minutes but I knew it worked when there was a quick vibe and the notification light went from pulsing blue to off. Maybe 4-5 minutes.

It's not Samsung that locks down the bootloader, it's AT&T. the T-Mobile Version doesn't have a locked bootloader and is easily rooted . Just have to SIM unlock it and you can use T-Mobile phone on AT&T network.

Hey Guys,
Long story short, I had my Sprint Note 5 rooted a while ago! due to some apps screwing me over and not allowing to use them due to being rooted I unrooted (via supersu)
Realized ever since I rooted my battery was totally crap and figured after I unroot it would help (it didn't) read about how it trips the Knox and it affects the deep sleep of the phone (thus **** battery life)
I read on here to just load a kernel in order to fix the deep sleep issue. I've rooted and loaded kernels before on other phones (no issues everrrrr).
When I looked up the TWRP version to use and flash via Odin it said successful. Phone restarted and it never came back up again. I downloaded literally all of the TWRP versions they had on their site, flashed all of them via odin and none of them would get me out of the boot loop. I got completely screwed and had to load a stock firmware from that sam site to get my phone working again. Everything was completely lost on my phone. pics that were never backed up
Due to that, I have been totally hesitant to try this again as that was the only way to fix my phone. I am willing to try again but really want to go into this prepared and have it be a smooth process ( I already backed up ALL of my files on my computer) I don't really care for TWRP or Kernels but I just want to fix the stupid deep sleep issue. I read somewhere on here that people having bootloops from twrp on note 5s was due to not being rooted first? I've also seen (as I did this almost 8 months ago) there are new TWRP versions since then, but afraid to even do those.
Is there a solution I can do to just fix the damn deep sleep issue? phone literally last 2-3 hours idle. Willing to donate via paypal to someone to help walk through it. This is a sprint variant note 5
thanks in advance
TWRP for your phone is here :
https://dl.twrp.me/nobleltespr/
When flashing in Odin are you using the AP slot to load twrp?
You can keep the rom stock and root with magisk or go custom. Looks like the sprint page for the note 5 is still relatively active.
Use Smart Switch to restore your phone, even update it to the latest build (DQG2). This will reinstall EVERYTHING you have modded. Maybe a 4 file firmware could be used via Odin. Now download the newest TWRP from the link phuhcue gave you. Install it via Odin. Put the recovery in the AP Slot. To root, you can use Magisk or SuperSU. I use Magisk because it can pass Google's Safety Net, so you can still watch Netflix or use apps like Pokemon GO or Snapchat.
After Odin installs the recovery it will reboot, this is where you need to be very fast and enter recovery mode and install 2 files:
Latest Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
IMMEDIATELY after installing Magisk this file might be necessary: samsung-antiroot-removal-4.1.zip (I tried not to use it but my phone bootloops) https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/samsung-antiroot-removal/ After installing both .zips you can reboot and voila! you have root + custom recovery.
This is the method I've using since our Sprint phones got the Nougat update. The tutorial can be found here: http://galaxynote5root.com/galaxy-n...galaxy-note-5-on-android-7-0-nougat-w-magisk/
Magisk is the shiznit yo! I'VE NEVER HAD DEEP SLEEP ISSUES, RANDOM REBOOTS OR OTHER FAILURES ON MY SM-N920P ALWAYS RUNNING THE LATEST NOUGAT BUILD. Rooted Marshmallow was buggy and laggy as hell, so I never rooted my phone until Nougat came out. The Sprint model is NOT affected by the tripped KNOX.
About a year and a half ago, I attempted to switch my Galaxy Tab s2's (SM-T713) root from supersu to magisk, but somehow accidentally installed chinese fimrware onto it. Can I get some assistance in fixing it? If I can get it back to the american firmware I know I can get it to magisk. I just have no clue how to get it back where it needs to be.
I'm not sure if firmware is the right word for above, but I know that when factory resetting my system, It defaults to chinese.
Upon some more fiddling, I've (i hope) soft bricked it and cant get any finrmware loaded into it. I'm not sure where to find the official AP for it. Samsung smart switch also can't find the device, but odin still can.
