Root without CABLE - is it possible? Note 5

Hi there
I would like to root my annoying Samsung Note 5. My usb port only charges it does not work with data at all. It has been replaced to no avail. What process / software (ADB?) can I use to root my phone? Once rooted I intend to install TWRP and use a custom rom.
I have tried Kingoroot but it was unsuccessful.
Thanks!

I too would like an answer as my phone has done the same thing. Won't quick charge via cable and an Windows does not recognize the device error connecting to Windows on any PC.

Have you installed the official Samsung drivers? Try that then install Odin. Put the phone into download mode and launch Odin, see if it detects the device. If so, you might have a chance.

unable to get Mi A2 recognized on Windows 10

Just got a used A2. Booted it up and no bootloader unlocked message. Tried to unlock bootloader but unable to get it recognized on my windows 10 PC. I have tried all ways to install the drivers, used different USBC cables, different USB port on the PC but no luck.
Developer options have been triggered & USB debugging is allowed.
Please let me know what drivers worked for you guys?
Mi drivers? Google drivers?
Thanks

Try mi platform tools no matter for which device but try to get for a2 if available, windows 10 automatically installs drivers for me after some time i use minimal adb and fastboot and it worked but bootloader wasn't unlocked i unlocked it again and it worked, unlock it with critical command, i am using havoc os on mi a2 it is best

Is there a way to unlock bootloader without conecting the phone to a PC?(broken port)

I have malfunctioning USB port, is there a way to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM without connecting the phone to a PC? transferring files using WiFi and then flashing it? Thanks in advance.

It's not possible, at least for now.

you SOT ....
you need adb & fastboot that works to do anything
you can only try 3 things:
1. find out what is wrong with usb ...try new official cables , reinstalling drivers, different usb ports , different pc
2. using application from playstore and on your phone enable and authorize adb via wifi / network
use this adb to force phone to boot to edl mode:
adb reboot edl
3. open your mobile with screwdriver following video tutorials .... using testpoint force edl mode
#in edl mode your phone WILL be detected if you install Qualcomm drivers then you can flash stock rom with miflash
i dont know why people mess with PE because like 80% have problems with wifi or usb or something

Is Downgrade possible using stock recovery options?

Hello.
So a few days ago I updated my A2 with June security patch / update. After that I noticed one day my phone wont charge fast...even though it was plugged into the standard 5V inbox charger. It kept discharging even when plugged in.
Ultimately the battery drained completely and it shutdown. It wont turn on even when connected on charger. After a few hours of trying to switch it on it finally turned on but would still charge very slowly.
So I assumed it was a due to that update and thought of downgrading and hence decided to unlock the bootloader..... But...MY PC DOESN'T DETECT MY PHONE IN FASTBOOT.
I tried a lot of things like reinstalling drivers, reinstalling mi flash, reinstalling windows, three different cables and even tried two pcs. Adb is detected, i can transfer files, everything works except the fastboot part....where the pc doesn't detect anything, not even a sound, and nothing in the device manager. ?
So atlast I just want to ask if there is a way to downgrade my stock and locked Mi A2 currently on android 10 using adb commands or by using the stock recovery options i.e. apply update through adb and sd card.
Also if I wanted to know if flashing a older version of stock android Pie through stock recovery options can brick my phone ( ARB ).
Edit : Mi flash recognises my phone when phone is switched on and when i choose apply update through abd using stock recovery. Is downgrading possible using Mi flash without switching to fastboot mode?
Thank you.
