Xposed is incompatible with the ART runtime. That means it won't work on Lollipop.
This thread doesn't belong in Original development,not even in Android development.

Exactly the same happened to me .... !!!!
samsung bootloop
i followed all the steps here and my phone got stuck on boot logo.
didnt have enough time to find a proper solution except doing a factory reset delete and cache delete.
didnt work out for me so i flashed the rom again and now it's working.
is there any other way to root my device without any bootloops?
@Rando81 @davie088 @username0101

i followed your method and it kinda worked. installed recovery, system re root. installed supersu from play and it asked me to update binary. i accepted but it failed to update for some reason and asked me to reboot. i clicked reboot and got stuck at bootloop. i tried clearing dalvik and wipe data from recovery, still bootloop. so i guess it tried to modify a system file which did it wrongly and caused it to fail. either the binary isnt compatible with this rom, although it was compatible with chinese aurora 5.0.1. for now, im back to aurora. has anyone had any success rooting this? ill try tomorrow morning again. thanks

im trying some methods but i cant confirm that it will work with all of you, but try flashing this with odin download

For all that couldn't succeed with the original SuperSU, use this one
Flash from recovery.
Worked for me.
Had the same problem, this is how I fixed!
I followed the instructions in OP, but was stuck in boot animation.
This is what I did to finally get root.
1. Flash CF-Autoroot through ODIN.
2. It should boot, but the SuperSu app is really outdated.
3. Update SuperSu.
4. It should ask you to update the binary.
5. Try updating through the Normal method.
6. For me it failed, and the app told me to reboot and retry.
7. I rebooted the phone, but the phone was stuck in boot animation (just like with the instructions in OP).
8. (Without wiping anything) I flashed Philz Touch recovery through Odin.
9. I downloaded SuperSu app that is flashable through recovery.
10. Rebooted and finally got root!

why don't you make a package file flashable root (SuperSU + BusyBox) to be more efficient
I have a question. After this root, stock recovery will be replaced by CWM. So is it possible to go back to stock recovery after rooting?? And If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care??
I'm new in rooting....

It's not necessary to remove it, however, it's better to do so before any rom installation (just in case your rom installation went wrong and you needed to take your phone to samsung care/service center).
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and effort!
Worked like a charm!

Yes, it looks like bad wireless home network. Thanks for the info!
The method is easy and well constructed, but I want to add something else:
I think is better to add in step 4 - Copy SuperSU-v1.25.zip and BusyBox.zip to root of External SD of your Phone
Newbies will avoid to turn off their devices.
+1 thanks or thumbs up or etc. for ya ; )

Nope
here`s the twrp for j23g
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p-3-0-2-1-samsung-galaxy-j2-sm-j200h-t3486994
and for root Just use magisk, it works on almost all smartphones and has much more features.
problems faced and solns found
1. During twrp flashing using odin, my stock recovery kept patching the twrp after reboots. So i couldn't install twrp succesfully. To fix this I unchecked "reboot" option in odin (thanks to another xda rooting guide)and switched off device manually after flashing. Then booted into recovery by pressing "home+vol up+power". this time stock rom was gone and twrp was there to welcome me.
2. i ended up in a bootloop after flashing the aforementioned superuser zip file. Instead i flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip and fixed the bootloop.
Note- My device is Samsung Galaxy j200-G.

Nice Tutorials
Hey i m ramcharan thanks nice guide how to root samsung J200G
Hi, I've tried a few tutorials on this forum on how to root the Samsung Galaxy S7 G930f.
After flashing the chainfire autoroot file my device stays stuck on the Samsung logo I've waited over 1 hour for the device to boot but it does not.
My question is can anyone explain what I could be doing wrong my device is on stock nougat I did root successfully with magisk a couple of months back but was not happy with having to format my data.
I also prefer chainfire SuperSu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I also had the same problem. So, I did the old fashioned way.
1. Download TWRP.tar from here: https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/
2. Download the latest stable SuperSU zip. If you want the link: Here ya go
2. Instead of flashing the CFAutoroot file, open Odin, click on AP and select the TWRP that you downloaded.
3. Once it flashes successfully, power off the phone, then Press and hold Volume Up+Home+Power Button to get into the recovery.
4. Copy the SuperSU and flash it and Viola! You got SuperSU!
You probably knew steps 3,4 but I wrote them just in case
hi may I know if you reformat your data after step 4?

Well, yeah. I always start with a clean slate. Just a habit i picked up when i had a OnePlus One. You should be fine without a format though...Cause you're just rooting, not flashing a whole new ROM.
Thanks for helping me out, unfortunately after flashing twrp and booting into twrp recovery the default android recovery loads up.
I will continue searching for a method that does work. If you know anything else I could try please let me know.

That's weird, I just flashed stock firmware and TWRP a few mins ago and it worked fine for me. I hope you used the .tar and not the .img and the Odin that comes with CF Auto Root, not the one you use to flash the whole stock firmware.
I did use the .tar and have also tried with Odin that comes with cf autoroot.
Unfortunately I still get the same result flash of twrp is successful when I boot into recovery I get the android installing update with dead android then it just goes into to stock recovery.
I will try a few more times if no success I'll try with a fresh install of stock firmware.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it.
I decided to try again and succeeded but still had to format data to get the phone to boot. I made a full backup on my laptop before proceeding I did the following steps to successfully root.
I am in no way responsible for any lost data or bricked devices please note if you follow this tutorial you will trip knox and your warranty will be void.
1. MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE CAN'T BE STRESSED ENOUGH
2. Flash the latest SM-G920F firmware with odin.
3. Setup device let it check for software updates, install the update if available (I had an update)
4. Download latest twrp recovery in .tar format for the SM-G920F from twrp website
5. Download the latest stable version of SuperSU.zip
6. Download Samsung Antiroot Removal Kit
7. Transfer the files to your SM-G920F sd card
8. Power off your SM-G920F and enter download mode by holding the volume down + home button + power button read the warning press up to allow custom flashing.
9. Open Odin I used Odin v3.12.3 tap the AP button locate the custom recovery and flash it's done be ready to enter twrp recovery as the device will boot quickly, as soon as it powers off to reboot hold the volume up + home button + power button if timed correctly you shall enter twrp recovery.
10. Locate the SuperSU.zip install it but don't reboot
11. Locate the Samsung Antiroot Removal Kit and install it
12. Go back in twrp go to the format option and select format data once formatted reboot the device.
It will take some time to boot once it's rebooted you will have a rooted SM-G920F with SuperSU

how did you backup your files on step 1 if your not rooted?
This is how I backed up my phone it's a bit tedious could have been done quicker.
First I removed my memory card from the phone. I then connected my phone in MTP mode to my laptop I dragged the folder of the files I needed to my laptop.
I then used MobileGo to export .apk files of the apps I wanted. I then exported the photos and videos I wanted to keep.
I did a WhatsApp backup copied the folder to my laptop.
I then made accounts on all games that I wanted to keep my progress on using Facebook and Google Play. Some games allows signing up with email address.
I used Mcbackup to backup all my contacts and e mailed them to myself.
I know that I could have used Google Drive or Samsung Cloud for some of the tasks but I prefer backing up this way.
