[Q] Why does Super su says "No binaries installed"

Just flashed the factory Rom and got everything set up. I flashed TWRP then tried to flash the latest SuperSu to get root and it installed it but when I went to open it it would say that I don't have any binaries installed and I can't uninstall SuperSU either. I tried to install CWM Recovery and refresh it through there but I still have the same issues... :/ What am I doing wrong or how can I get my phone rooted properly? Thanks for any help!

You need to flash a kernel that is permissive and then flash SuperSU there are a few in the forums if you search you shall find them

Instead of a permissive kernel, simply use Chainfire's AutoRoot, which will flash a more secure kernel and SuperSU automatically. You don't even need TWRP for this. http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip
Go to http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to get AutoRoot for other devices.

So I flash this in ADB? Is the secure kernel the same as stock? and if I were to flash a customer kernel like FK would I lose root? Sorry for all the questions just trying to clarify some stuff so I'm not completely ignorant to what I'm doing lol

There's a batch file that does it. You run it in the bootloader, not ADB.
FK has a Lollipop compatible kernel, but try and root stock first. Then flash FK's Lollipop version (it's different) and run CF AutoRoot again. Just to be sure things are working. Personally, I'm going to use stock for a while, understand the performance and then try FK or EX or whatever, so I'll be able to tell the difference.

[ROOT GUIDE] KNOX 0x0 NOTE 3 LTE (SM-N9005) LOLLIPOP DB 5.0 KNOX 0x0 [ROOT GUIDE]

Hello Everybody.
I have finally successfully rooted Note 3 N9005 on Android 5.0 Dev Base (DB) only, without tripping knox. The Dev base (DB) is made or compiled by Alexander on OB6 (the latest firmware). It has Multi-CSC feature and hence you will not have to worry about the CSC feature being a reason for holding you back from Rooting Note 3 N9005.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you mess up any of the steps and neither am I responsible for anyone bricking their phone. I have personally tested this step 3 times over to confirm its validity.
UPDATE: We have finally been able to root all LOLLIPOP without dev base. The new guide is on its way. All your data can remain, you will be able to root without having to worry about losing your DATA.
UPDATE: Here is the link to my ROM, you can replace this rom with Alexander's Dev Base in the Instruction Steps and all will be fine.
:: MEGA DOWNLOAD ::
:: DROPBOX DOWNLOAD ::
UPDATE: Added updated Links for Alexander DevBase, Bootloader and CP File.
NOTE: KNOX apps have been disabled by default by Alexander himself. Thank you Alexander.
NOTE: Moderators please move this thread to the right section. Also, please note, I will be giving credits to the original Devs for the rom and the root methods which I used common sense and made them work. All these changes will be released in the final Guide. In a few hours the whole guide with the complete step-by-step procedure will be uploaded here.
NOTE: I have written this guide on my own and have not copied anything from anywhere except the rooting process provided by W0lfDroid. If required, I will remove it and replace it with the link to the page to make it easier. But, in my opinion my steps are simpler
Things you will need.
Precautionary step: Make a backup of your PIT File just in case. You might need it though I had no need for it and its simply taking up a few KBs of Space on my PC

NOTE: If your phone doesn't boot up after a considerable amount of time. Turn it off. Pull out the battery. Re-insert the battery and boot your phone into “Recovery Mode” by holding the Power + Menu (Home Button) + Volume UP keys. Wipe your data and cache partitions.
8). Setup your phone but better not connect it to Google/Samsung/Dropbox or any other accounts because you are going to get those wiped again.
Part 2: Rooting Note 3 on 4.4.2 (Skip this is you have a Rooted 4.4.2 phone and move over to Part 3).
Procedure:
Before starting this find your kernel version and build number, the last 3 letters/digits matter such as NG1 or NH1, etc.
Install SUPERSU 2.46 APK
1). Run Odin v3.09 and connect your phone in “Download Mode”
2). Click AP on the ODin screen and navigate and select the file Root Kernel.
3). “Auto-reboot” and “F.Reset Time” are selected and click “Start”.
4). Let it flash and reboot.

Nice job! I was waiting for this to update my note 3 to use new kernels. Is it possible to compile the same thing for n900w8, NB7 ? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/26653/N900W8VLUCNB7_N900W8OYACNB7_BMC/
Thanks a lot

I think my team has been able to come up with the solution.

We are trying to figure this out. If we can get this kind of rom for any phone then we will have better luck getting all lollipop phones rooted. Also I'm in the process of getting the official stock firmware installed on top of this to allow us to have official kernel installed to. But I might just flash the original kernel to avoid the hassle and check it out

Nice! Sounds very good. If I understand everything about your developpement, we will be able to root it but not to flash custom rom without tripping. Is that right?

Well yes. Flashing a stock rom with pre-root seems like the only case right now.

Sounds good enough for me! Awesome what you guys did, keep up the good work!

UPDATE
All variants (possibly) root knox 0x0

Thanks. worked like a charm. Just 1 suggestion. After point (14). Make sure Auto-reboot is not checked.) you can add "start odin flash" to avoid confusion. IMHO.

Yes very true. I will add it.
Also please note that I have tripped my knox in the learning process and will not continue any new guides regarding knox 0x0.
I'm quite satisfied and will now move forward towards hardcore development of Custom ROMS or development of stock ROMS with addition to more development of apps.
Check for new updates regarding new development apps that I am working on. I hope these apps become a game changer

thnks a ton KINGMAK.
Hey is there a way to saferoot stock Lollipop ROM rather than using the dev based one? Will u post a guide on that regardless of the post u added recently that u wont write guides on knox 0x0, since ur Knox is tripped I am eagerly waiting for that guide frnd.
Also, how to enable knox apps, container and all that on this dev based ROM? Is that possible?
If not, will I be able to use Knox apps, container in future? I suppose that a stock ROM should be flashed to get that. Is that?

Yes it is possible. The dev_base is not entirely different from the Stock ROM. You would need to use the same procedure but the only change that would be required is the flashing of the Stock Based ROM.
I can make a rom with KNOX apps enabled but the root in the system will always remove/disable the KNOX apps since knox tries to reset the root.
Since the very beginning of KNOX system, the security is lost when you root your device. KNOX cannot be used and I doubt anyone will ever try to make them work.
Sincerely,
KINGMAK

So that means should I add Stock rom from sammy (BOB6.zip) in Mobile Odin pro as mentioned in step 4. of part 3 instead of N9005XXUGBOB6_DevBase_alexndr.zip file?
If so, do i need to flash BOB6's bootloader and modem again via desktop Odin? Plz clarify..

Well you can flash the stock rom zip package of OB6 and it might b necessary to flash the bootloader too since it has been reported that if people don't flash the OB6 bootloader they end up with bootloop issues.

Thank you. Followed your guide and managed to get Lollipop into my phone with root privileges. Flashed Xposed alpha via mobile odin and now my phone is stucked in a bootloop. Went to recovery to do a factory reset but it is still the same. What should I do to restore my phone?
Would it be fine following part 1 and 2 , although I am running the newest bootloader?

if i already trip my knox 0x1 can it be changed to 0x0 with this method?sorry newbie question

No. This is to preserve 0x0. It won't change 0x1 to 0x0.

Flash the CP and Bootloader files. Then wipe your data and cache partitions am all should be fine.

Once the whole setup is complete and i wanted to debloat the rom, can i just install thru mop the dev base rom? Is it necessary to do the bl and cp again?

Thnx for the reply KingMak. But i hav few mre doubts.
1. Suppose if i use stock rom bob6.tar.md5 in mobile odin, how do we get that Rom rooted?
Should i tick everroot option and add supersu zip file and then flash to do that?
2. Does dev base (by alexndr) zip package include root installer? Is everroot option unticked for this reason?
3. Can we saferoot(knox 0x0) note 3 sm 9005 using the same method for s4 as posted by xda member Tyxerakias? Plz have a look>> forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/rooted-stock-lollipop-5-0-1-knox-0x0-t3061536

[RO0T] Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360P!

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime
Virgin Mobile
SM-G360P G360PVPU2AOH1
I have found a way to root this version of the device. Easy as pie.
1. Factory Reset your device.
2. After reboot, Power OFF device.
3. Boot into Download Mode
HOLD VOL ( - ) & POWER & HOME BUTTON
RELEASE HOME BUTTON when letters appear
PRESS VOL (+ ) to ACCEPT TERMS
4. Flash the CF-AUTO-ROOT.tar.md5 using the ODIN that is provided.
5. Reboot and let CF do it's thing (my device restarted maybe 3x)
When phone finally boots, you should be fully ROOTED. I updated SU, and installed a few Apps that require ROOT and everything is smooth. No Force Close, nothing.
Odin + CF-Auto-ROot:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/86y6nzbhms9fr7q/CF-Auto-Root.rar
If you need to completely reflash your device the 1GB+ file for ODIN is available.
Google is your friend.
Is there a working Custom Recovery for these? I believe the recovery is the same across all the variants,
here is one from the G360PVPU2AOH1 SM-G360P Model:

Hope this helps someone, I am attempting a TWRP 2.8.0.1 build for this, although I am not sure I know what I am doing.

these helped me a LOT but unfortunately i no longer have the files and my phone is currently a bit bricked du to some unrelated stuff, could you please update these links? email me if you do [email protected]

I used the s820l straight talk twrp 2.8.7....you can search developer Ardwill...my apologies i forgot the ending 2 numbers on his name....but search root deodex rom for your sm-g360p prevaile lte/ core and he has as have i on two prevail ltes booted thru odinbthe straight talk 820 s twrp port..flashes precompiled apos as well as zips to improve performance and even su....the rom has being rooted has a problem updating from settings but with twrp you can systemless root....pm me for both twrp and cfautoroot file...they are linked to my drive actually ....https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Nvxp8BpgclellYTmtEMnd1ZzQ/view?usp=drive_web...thats twrp found working by Ardwill all credits go to him as i never would of had a custom recovery....and cfautoroot is universal ...dwnld the file named after coreprime....thats the only coreprime that actually flash...possibly since the twrp will not format data.....ive done all i can to give my way of having twrp and root...both phones still work and never looped...twrp only needs root after its flashed...but ask Ardwill or better yet look up his thread on his stock deodexed and prerooted rom...i run it on my cracked one and its just fine ...but i only used twrp then cf autoroot after i flashed recovery via odin and accepted latest update....so props to chainfire for his cfautoroot working across all versions of this non existent variant of the Sm-g360p. Always perform a wipe via twrp before flashing ne thing..dalvick and cache only tho....have fun doing all the exploits that kitkat 4.4.4 has ....latest uodate past smg360pvpaoj2 will not flash xposed nor can you update firnware...so i woudnt run the stock basemodel past apj2 since all you get is a securiry patch update..also i believe twrp will format if you do it properly...i made the mistake not the dev who was ballsy enough to flash a twrp buikt fir a diffrent carrier.

my bootloader isnt unlocked so i dont think i can flash twrp, i just installed the cf autoroot you posted last time and i cant find any other root for this device that actually works so if you could get that file for me that would rock

If ur root already theres no point
....i mean its not logical...what other root are u talking of?? Like a swich from supersu to another superuser.....i just ask
1. So u dont trash ur phones internals
2. What roots better than cf auto?? It comes with superuser.apk
3. One clicks are netorious for unreliability...why there are tools to clean them up anx install chainfires su binary over them...not vice versa for a reason...and Ardwills roms are prerooted with chainfire su...so u might wanna 4get about another root or w.e u were gettin ay

[GUIDE] Root, Bootloader Unlocks, and More!

Greetings from the AT&T S5 Forum!
We've recently discovered the usability of engineering firmwares in our journey to get root, as outlined here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196
Now, I'm here to try to bring this same method to you guys! With the help of @jrkruse, here are the root instructions:
How it works:
These engineering firmwares are usually based on KitKat, and have their SELinux set to PERMISSIVE. This not only leaves the firmware very vulnerable to towelroot, but it also keeps SELinux from raining on our parade.
Thanks again to @jrkruse for the updated root instructions, and @mohammad.afaneh for the Safestrap!
Revised October 6, 2018.
Directions:
Before you get going, use this APK to check your eMMC chip's CID:
eMMC_CID_Checker_.apk[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER]
Your CID Number will be the first two numbers in the eMMC Box under "CID"
If the first two digits are "15," your bootloader is unlockable and you can install TWRP/AOSP ROMs.
If the first two digits are "11," your bootloader is not unlockable, but you can use rooted Lollipop ROMs that are based on TouchWiz (with the help of SafeStrap). You can also use non-rooted Marshmallow ROMs (based on TouchWiz) and flash mods with SafeStrap.
BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW, YOUR STORAGE WILL BE WIPED!​
If your eMMC CID starts with "15," start here:
1. Download and unzip this file: EMMC_15_Root_Bootloader_Unlock S5_QB2_PB1.zip
2. Reboot the phone to Download Mode (Pwr +Vol Dwn+Home)
3. Use Odin 3.12 and load the "COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5" firmware in the AP Slot
4. Flash and let the phone process the file. It will reboot twice and you should be dropped into Android within a minute and a half.
5. Copy the following files to your phone:
"RootS5" Folder and "EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip",
and EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip
6. Use the File Manager (you can find it in the app drawer) to install Superuser.apk, Busybox.apk, tr_v2.apk, and SafeStrapKK.apk . Do not open anything yet.
7. Open towelroot and click "MAKE IT RAIN". It should tell you you have succeeded. Otherwise, reboot and try again.
8. Now open SuperSU and click "New User" to install it.
Once done, open SuperSU and update the SU binaries using the "NORMAL" method. It will tell you you need to reboot, but you can skip that. (If the Superuser install hangs for more than 5 minutes reboot phone and try to install it again.)
9. Now open the BusyBox app, grant SuperSU access and install BusyBox.
10. Now open SafeStrap, grant SuperSu access and click "install recovery". If the SafeStrap recovery fails to install, make sure BusyBox is installed by rerunning the BusyBox app (it will tell you if BusyBox is installed). If its not installed, click "install" again, reboot the phone, re-open SafeStrap and try to install recovery again
11. Once SafeStrap Recovery is installed click "reboot to SafeStrap Recovery".
12. Once in SafeStrap Recovery choose install and select EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QB2_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
13. Install the zip. The phone will power off. Reboot the phone to TWRP Recovery with Pwr+VolUp+Home
14. You will now have an Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP recovery Installed. Now whoose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select Dalvik Cache; Data; System; Cache, and swipe the swipe to wipe bar. When done, click the back button, click Install, and choose:
EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip
You're done! You will have stock rooted Marshmallow QB2 Build installed with an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
If your eMMC CID starts with "11," start here:
1. Download and unzip this file: EMMC_11_ Root S5_QB2_PB1.zip
2. Reboot Phone to Download Mode (Pwr +Vol Dwn+Home)
3. Use Odin 3.12 and load the COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in the AP Slot.
4. Flash and let the phone reboot. It will reboot to recovery and finish install then it will reboot and take about 20 seconds to boot.
5. Copy the following to the phone:
Root S5 Folder, EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip, and the TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
6. Use the File Manager (you can find it in the app drawer) to install Superuser.apk, Busybox.apk, tr_v2.apk, and SafeStrapKK.apk . Do not open anything yet.
7. Open towelroot and click "MAKE IT RAIN". It should tell you you have succeeded. Otherwise, reboot and try again.
8. Now open SuperSU and click "New User" to install it.
Once done, open SuperSU and update the SU binaries using the "NORMAL" method. It will tell you you need to reboot, but you can skip that. (If the Superuser install hangs for more than 5 minutes reboot phone and try to install it again.)
9. Now open the BusyBox app, grant SuperSU access and install BusyBox.
10. Now open SafeStrap, grant SuperSu access and click "install recovery". If the SafeStrap recovery fails to install, make sure BusyBox is installed by rerunning the BusyBox app (it will tell you if BusyBox is installed). If its not installed, click "install" again, reboot the phone, re-open SafeStrap and try to install recovery again
11. Once SafeStrap Recovery is installed click "reboot to SafeStrap Recovery".
12. Once in SafeStrap Recovery, choose what firmware you want to be on:
Lollipop 5.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip
Marsmhallow 6.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip
13. Install the firmware zip, and then flash a TouchWiz Lollipop ROM. (Here is the latest stock rooted Lollipop Rom: VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip). You may want to download a copy of the latest SuperSu zip, and flash if installing a Lollipop ROM that is not rooted. Remember that you cannot root Marshmallow ROMs, so do not try and flash the SuperSu zip on a Marshmallow Rom (you will softbrick if you do).
14. After you install any Lollipop ROM, you may need to reinstall SafeStrap Recovery. Most of the time you don't have to and SafeStrap can be reached by flashing the KitKat Kernel in Download Mode with ODIN. But, in some cases, when flashing a ROM that flashes a system.img instead of a system folder, you may lose SafeStrap during install. This will be the case if you install the above ROM. You can reinstall it after the ROM is booted up. A Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk is included that will flash a version of SafeStrap that will allow you to reboot to SafeStrap Recovery without flashing a KitKat kernel in Odin. Install BusyBox again from the BusyBox App in the RootS5 Folder. Install Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk and make sure to grant SuperSU access. It may take a few seconds to prompt. If SafeStrap is not installed, click "Install Recovery". If Safestrap is still installed click on "Uninstall Recovery", close the app, and reopen it. It should say recovery is not installed. Now click on "Install Recovery". If this doesn't work, reboot the phone and try again. Once installed, you can just click reboot to SafeStrap from the SafeStrap app and you will reboot straight to SafeStrap. Remember to flash the appropriate Kernel when leaving SafeStrap!
Download and place these on your device:
LL_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip, and
MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip
If something goes wrong you can usually get back to SafeStrap by simply rebooting the phone to Download Mode and flashing NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5. When the phone reboots, watch for the SafeStrap splash screen and enter SafeStrap.
WARNING: Do NOT change ANY boot options in SafeStrap. ROM slots cannot be used, so you must flash to the Stock ROM slot EVERY TIME OR YOU WILL SOFTBRICK. Some functions don't work in SafeStrap, like choosing an image file to flash directly. All image files must be flashed via zip file.
For CID11 users that have followed the above instructions and want to use Marshmallow:
QA1_MM_Firmware_With_QA1_Bootloader_CAUTION.zip=Marshmallow Firmware (use if flashing a MM TW ROM other than the one posted below). Just remember there is no root for Marshmallow ROMs, but having SafeStrap installed gives you the ability to do things like flash debloat Scripts, Mods, etc and the ability to go back to a rooted Lollipop ROM without going through the root process all over again. Simply flash the Lollipop ROM and EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip.
Here is a special ROM that includes SafeStrap, so you can flash a Marshmallow ROM and still be able to use SafeStrap to flash things. You will not have root but you can still access SafeStrap. VZW_QB2_STOCK_SAFESTRAP_ONLY_V1.zip More Instructions about this can be found HERE
When using a MM ROM, it is necessary to flash the KitKat Kernel with Odin to enter SafeStrap. When leaving SafeStrap, make sure to flash MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip which is necessary to leave SafeStrap (This zip will be placed on storage automatically with the above ROM and you also download it in instructions above.) Just navigate to the .MM_KERNEL_SS-FF folder located on both Internal and External storage.

i'll odin my spare s5 to stock later if i get the chance and let you know if this works on my g900v.

I cant seem to get the link for locked bootloaders to work... But does this mean that CID 11 people will finally have unlocked bootloaders and can install Lineage OS? may seem like a dumb question...

This does not unlock bootloaders for CID11 people. There will probably never be a bootloader unlock for those people unless the Verizon S5 gets one from Samsung as it grows old and irrelevant.

Which, I should add, has about a 1 in 10,000,000 chance of occurring.

I was able to successfully flash COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in the AP Slot
After it rebooted to system , I am unable to get the phone to be recognized by windows. When I plug it in I hear the beep that it's plugged in charging, but I cannot find an option for file transfer on the phone itself. I tried a couple different Samsung drivers on Windows but to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can get it to connect to the pc?
This was one of the drivers I used: (one linked in original thread)

Try rebooting the phone and the PC. I've had that happen before and usually that fixes the problem.

Yup I've tried that a few times. I even went back to download mode, redid the process and booted back to system, still couldn't get it to connect.

That's peculiar... Have you tried another cord? Otherwise you'll have no choice but to take out the SD card and plug it into the PC manually.

I'll try it again with another cable and laptop. If it still doesn't work I'll copy it directly to the SD card. This is my friend's phone. I'm in class now so when I see him later I'll continue the steps and let you know what happens. Thanks

You can start with either one. If there is a CF autoroot or TWRP for your device then there should be instructions for how to do it in the thread where you get them from. Follow those instructions, it isn't rocket science.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE

Root and twrp
What should i do first
Root or twrp
Need help here
Sc-04f docomo

Uncheck Auto Reboot from options in odin
flash twrp
-phone won't reboot-
once done remove battery
put it back
press vol up + home + power

Help here
Ok
Then twrp install after i root
With odin or else
I have download file cf auto root from official website for my supported model number
But stil confuses about which thing i install first
Twrp
Or root
There are two types of root
Cf auto root and super su
Some youtube videos show me twrp install odin on download mode
Then install twrp custum recovery then install zip file of super su
But still confused about cf auto root file of my device
Is also available
Which thing i do first
With step by step
Plz guide me

You would install TWRP. boot the phone root it and then power off boot into recovery and flash SuperSu. I'm pretty sure this is how it's done I've not done it myself yet but I've been reading up on it alot can anyone confirm this?

These things that you are mentioning have instructions in the places that you are finding/reading them. Try reading those instructions and doing what they say to do.
Installing TWRP and rooting have already been explained to you and you are still asking. Installing Xposed is just one more step. There are guides for how to do all of this everywhere. Try paying attention or you will regret it because you will destroy your device.
Are you even paying attention to what they are saying to you? Are you even trying to understand what you are reading in the threads and videos that explain how to install them?
You aren't asking "how to do it", you are wanting someone to do everything for you instead of using your own brain.
If your bootloader is locked then you can not flash TWRP, you will have to flash CF autoroot in Odin the same way that TWRP is flashed in Odin. The process is basically the same, only the file that is used is different.

Hey everyone,
I can't root my device which is the same Galaxy S5 (SC-04F) the problem I am facing during the root is that when I try to flash TWRP from odin everything goes well but my phone doesn't detect the SIM instead I see "No sim | Insert Sim card" same goes with cf_auto root it doesn't detect the SIM card.
I really want to flash a custom rom Iam bored of the stock. Iam running the latest stock update 6.0.1 with August security patch level.
I have tried flashing the modem.bin by converting it into .tar file but no luck.
Any help will be appreciated...

Did you open the developer option and enable the usb debugging and oem ?

They aren't having a problem flashing the device, they are having problems detecting SIM when it boots up after flashing.
