Hi I recently upgraded my phone earlier this week to lollipop 5.0 second update. Software version BOD3. I used cf auto root and soft bricked my phone. Is there any way to root this version of lollipop for my phone. Thank you
Oh I forgot I have the sprint Samsung Galaxy s5 G900P

You need to be reading/checking the Android Development thread. Read the OP's the the roms you're interested in. If they say they are pre-rooted, then all you have to do is use Odin to install a custom recovery first. Plan in advance, you'll need to have the rom you choose copied to your phone first. Then, in Odin un-check auto-reboot. When it finishes installing, unplug your phone, pull the battery. Reinstall battery and immediately go into recovery (Home, Volume UP, Power) and flash your rom. Again, I can't stress enough, "read" about the rom you're interested in. I can give you a couple of rom's that I know will work with OD3, but the decision is yours:
MOAR 6.2. This one has a strong user community for support, more features (and growing) then you know what to do with!
Stock De-odexed Very new, but if you want stock and rooted without any bells and whistles, this would be the one.
Hey can u help me again i downloaded the stock rom and wiped everything in recovery. Then i updated in recovery.everything loaded fine but it is telling me that it is.not rooted. Su say cant get binary and.root checker tells me.no root. I tried to reboot the.phone but its telling me.no root. I thought the.rom was rooted. Am i doing something wrong.thanks

My wife's rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 (vzw) has been acting strange lately. It has been asking to update and then locking into a screen that says "System software not authorized by Verizon..." I can successfully reset the phone, as well as get into Odin, but I cannot get into recovery mode to flash a new rom. (The first and only rom I flashed on her phone was stock Touchwiz about 8 months ago.)
I'm kind of a noob at this stuff, so I'm not sure what to do. First, I'm not sure why this is happening in the first place. My research shows that it can happen when you don't unlock the phone properly, but I'm virtually certain I did. In any event, what next? I have read that I should Odin back to stock. Is it appropriate for me to attempt to Odin back to a rooted stock rom? Is that even possible? For example, can I Odin back to this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332840)?

the files that you use to odin with are a different extension (.tar) than what you flash with (.rar)...so you can only use cwm/twrp to use that rooted image. I recommend using odin to get back to stock, then using the root one click method that was recently stickied...that will get you up in running and able to use roms quickly
Yes its possible but first try to install a custom recovery. Download goomanager and then install open recovery script from the menu options. Then you should be able to boot into twrp and flash a new rom

If you are Verizon Stock rooted and have SU and busybox installed without disabling updates, that will occur whenever Verizon rolls out an OTA. if you want the update, ODIN back to stock and take the updates before rooting. If you don;t want updates then find the thread on disable Verizon OTA and that will stop the update request.
I'm currently on 4.0.4 (Canadian version) N8010 and I want to update to 4.1.2 (canadian? not sure if it really makes a difference). I get the notification for the update, but when I select it, it fails, and it also fails with Kies.
When I first got the note I opted for the exynos exploit to root my tablet. I was under the impression that if I disabled root from the app my status would revert back to "non-custom". I've uninstalled exynosabuse and busybox (i think supersu uninstalled with the root disabled) and I've restarted multiple times and waited a few hours. No change. I think I'll try to re-enable root and restore some apps that I froze with titanium backup to see if it reverts back.
The other option I guess would be to get the Canadian rom and flash via Oden. although I think that would wipe by note, which i would like to avoid. I found some links to the canadian rom, but they're down.
Thanks for the help/advice.

Did you install a custom recovery or do you still have stock recovery installed and can you tell us your ROM's build number.

I still have the stock rom, I haven't installed anything custom, just use the exploit for the root access.
Build number: IMM76D.N8010WALG4

Without a stock 4.1.2 firmware for your device it looks like you are going to have to do a factory reset to use Kies.
I think your options are limited..........
Have you considered using a firmware from another country?
You know there is a backup program called Helium that does not need root, you may want to consider using it to backup all of your data and then do a factory reset.
I don't know if I have helped you any............
Hey guys,
I just got my phone and it updated to 4.4 pretty much out of the box. I still wanted to root so I used a method I found on here (will find if necessary) which is supposed to not trip the KNOX by putting the phone into "Custom Mode." Everything went fine until I tried to use ROM Manager to install CM.
When I boot I get the message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." I've tried reflashing using Odin, clearing the cache and factory resets, but I get the same error every time.
I'm currently downloading another stock ROM which might work, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem?
Thank you!

You are permanently stuck on the TW 4.3 OTA because the bootloader is signed with special keys that prevents:
-installing a custom recovery
-flashing custom roms/kernels
-downgrading your software below 4.3
If you can boot into download mode, do this 4.3 soft brick method.
With TW 4.3 OTA, all you can do is root using a tool called: Saferoot.
If you have 4.3 stock firmware you can root and that's it, no custom recovery, no custom rom, kernel, nothing, and just a heads up there are like 10 threads where people don't read and have done what you have, you need to flash the Odin 4.3 image for you phone to work again, never take an ota, enjoy your locked down device now

My pleasure but all the thanks is owed to ThePagel, make sure to post your success in his thread. The more people that report their success with that method, then the less fear someone else may have in using that should they suffer the same experiences. :victory::good::good:
If you need any updates on the state of TW 4.3 then keep this discussion thread bookmarked.
I did the same thing today. The 4.3 update installed by itself!!! So i rooted it using Saferoot,
i installed rom manager, clicked the Install rom from sd card and i got that message. it will repeat that message and it wont boot. So i went into Odin mode and hit the volume down button to restart it. And after that it booted normally.
So basically i am stuck with 4.3? and is there 4.4 out for our phones yet?
also forgot to mention, it says my OS is custom when i first realized it updated.

Once you successfully updated with 4.3, you stuck with 4.3, there is no going back or flash anything and 4.3 is the latest factory rom for now. There's no 4.4 yet for our phone. There is custom 4.4 but only for people who didn't take the 4.3 update. Since they still have unlocked bootloader so they could load any custom rom.

Dang this sucks. I have no idea how it installed automatically then. I was listening to music the whole time. And I was trying to get a custom 4.4 after the update...

How do i root/install twrp my sprint s6 edge which is on nougat?
flash this with TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk71179z29zo87h/N920_Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_kernel_included.zip?dl=0
i tried to flash twrp twice, my phone is now soft bricked. as soon as i boot it up, there is this flash and when i touch my phones screen, it vibrates. i dont know whats going on anymore. i will now try and flash stock firmare
*UPDATE*
i have successfully flashed the stock firmware and my phone is working. The loss of data is unfortunate, but as long as my beloved s6 edge is working, i dont mind. i think ill just wait until there is a proper way to root 7.0. until that time ill just use 6.01 i guess.
Thanks anyways

which stock firmware did u use
6.0.1, G925PVPU3CPB6 from sammobile.
then i got the ota and just updated to 7.0
now im going to re-flash 6.0.1 and then cf auto root. i cant stand my phone without root.
unless someone helps me flash twrp. so that i can flash that super su file with it.
i noticed something while browsing the twrp site, it says something like "This device uses dm-verity. This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab". now i this verity thing is my nightmare. before when i had rot, i forgot i had used cf and went to super su and remove root. next thing i know, my s6 is in a boot loop. And when i went to boot loader it showed a message saying dm verity failed. Can anyone guide me? To flashing that kernal that is
guys ive done it. rsktkr1 thanks. i was basically flashing the wrong twrp. I will leave the link to the correct twrp file just in case there is someone who went through the same hardships as me. https:// dl.twrp.me/zeroltespr/twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroltespr.img.tar. html just remove the spaces
Thanks guys. Sorry for all the trouble.
well i got my s6 edge back and running. I had it on mm 6.0 and rooted it once more just now i decided to go back to nougat. I have found that twrp 3.1.0 sent my edge into a bootloop and actually hard bricked my phone. I figured sine my s6 flat took root on nougat that since i used the n20p supersu nand 3.2.0 twrp ran flawless with just one problem which is battery life it dont very long. so if i were to try the note versionj of my edge it might work but for custom recovery stay with 3.2
So first off I would say I am average in the world of modifications, I know the basics. I used to run a stock Nougat rom with Magisk.
Being the clumsy fool that I am, I dropped my phone and the screen broke. I went to a Samsung service center and deposited my phone there for screen replacement and they decided to update my phone for no reason...
As my phone was rooted, after forcing an update on my phone a soft brick happened and they had to flash a new firmware which meant that I lost everything. Now I am running latest stock Oreo 8.0.
I tried these things to root my phone again:
(The first thing I did was flashing twrp through odin)
#1: Downloaded Magisk and a decryptor for getting past the locked bootloader... flashed them both using recovery (twrp works 100%), and my phone got stuck on the Samsung S7 - powered by android after a reboot from recovery. Waited for a long time. Tried a lot of alternatives on this method but got stuck..
#2 After I gave up on rooting the firmware I was given, I decided to go back on my old Nougat firmware which used to work flawlessly... so I had the nougat firmware on my computer but this time Odin gave me an error along with some red text on top right in download mode. I looked up the error and it basically meant that I cannot revert back to Nougat anymore (which is surprising as I could easily swap between Nougat and Marshmallow but I can't do the same with Oreo and Nougat)
Quote from a person on the internet: ''SW REV CK FAIL usually means that you are not flashing the most current released firmware version. Most Samsung devices will not let you downgrade. You have to flash what was previously installed or higher Android version.''
#3 I was frustrated. I tried using a last resort.. downloaded a custom rom which has root included called ''Galaxy Project''... Flashed it using twrp and got a bootloop for 2 hours. To get past the bootloop I had to download Oreo stock rom and flashed it using Odin. That worked.. I'm back on stock Oreo again... back to square one.
Please help out a stumped Android enthusiast... I have spent 2 days on this... but no solution works. My phone is not in danger of a hard brick as I can always revert to stock Oreo using Odin but having root would be nice.
I am having average experience, I know just the basics... please help me out and tell me what to do in a step by step manner.. I will try everything and report the findings till I finally come across a method which works.
EDIT: My phone model is G930FD
