OK guys, the problem is that i cant root this phone with the traditional method of CFAutoRoot (Neither install a custom recovery), i have the SM-G920F, i want to root it i dont care of tripping KNOX to 0x1, but when i attempt to root the phone, Oddin gives me FAIL (see the img) and this happens too if y try to install a custom recovery like TWRP, and in the phone says Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L
My compilation number is LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOE3
Sorry for my bad english... Thank you guys i appreciate some help, i am very familiar of rooting this devices, i had SGS 3 and the S4 and never had theese problems.
have you tried PINGPONG root it maybe easier
And doesn't trip knox, so best of both world and with flashfire flashing is easy too.
Yeah i tried pingpong root, but my main purpose was to install a custom recovery, i finally solved this issue that didnt let me flash cf auto root and custom recoverys, i had to disable reactivation lock in samsung settings in find my mobile. thanks all!

Hi!
Been using ROMs and root for a while on my S3, but since I lost it Im back to an old htc wildfire s. Ive installed a custom ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735775&nocache=1), but it is unrooted. Standard rooting methods do not seem to work, how would one go about rooting a custom ROM?
Hola, if you have a custom rom installed, i guess you have unlocked it. Maybe you dont have superuser installed, i guess?
What root method did you use?
And you can try to flash the superuser binary (http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
Hope it will it, reply back if you need more help
Thanks, flashing superuser worked
He Guys.I have rooted my Samsung GTab2 GT-p3100.Now i want to flash cwm.Will it avoid root access?.Pls HElp
Flashing CWM doesn't affect your root wether you're rooted or not, You can simply flash CWM, It won't affect your root.
Just flash it via Odin.
Hi all
I am keen in android dev, but we all need to start somewhere
I have been searching and as my title suggests, all I have found are superuser.zips and rooted roms
for the android devs and rom chefs,
how do I take stock firmware, either as:
a .tar.md5 or
a twrp/cwm recovery backup
and root it?
reason for asking, (although I dont indend this as a specific model issue), I recently restored my Samsung Note LTE to stock JB, then installed CWM and then flashed the superuser.zip, but I didnt get root, installed twrp then su, still no root,
so im thinking either rooting the stock tar.md5 or rooting the recovery backup, might solve the problem
I have lost the data USB cable for my Note 10.1 8013 and I want to get root so I can install CWM recovery and Gnabo Rom. If there's an easier or safer way please let me know asap if this is it please confirm I have the steps right.
I've been online for hours and it looks like my best option is Framaroot. I have only rooted 2 devices before and always using Odin and Chainfires auto root.
First question is if it is successful will it allows me to install the custom rom that I want? I'm trying to figure out how or where in the process to install cwm recovery and make sure I don't brick the tablet.
if yes that it will work to install gnabo rom then based on the Framaroot thread I understand that I am good to go using Framaroot 1.9.3 Sam, frodo, legolas or aragon exploits?
instructions as I understand them:
I Dl fr 1.9.3 on device
install with file explorer
Install supersu
then try the exploits until I hopefully see success?
then reboot
How do I get custom recovery? This is where I'm totally lost at
then follow instructions told Gnabo Rom? - already have zips on sd
Normally I can reach a few of the guys from the Tmo N4 to help me because I'm such a new but they're all tied up and I basically only have today free to mess with this.
I cannot find any root method for this phone SM-N915F anywhere in the forums.
Build number is LRX22C.N915FXXU1BOE1 running on Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop)
I've been soft-bricked a few times for trying a few rooting methods including CF-Auto-Root.
Anyone here knows where can I get root for this model?
I read in another thread that you can flash cwm (what about twrp?) with odin and then boot into recovery and then flash super su to get root. But there is no cf auto root. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Link here
Sendt fra min SM-N915FY
This means CF-Root is working for any device as long as we have the appropriate custom recovery for our device. Thank you for the link, I will try it and post back the results.
Wow it works, thank you for the reply @xenkato
Cool! Did you do it with cwm and super su?
Yes, I did exactly what the person in your link does haha!
So you flashed cf auto root first with that one failing? Or only cwm and then super su?
Err from what I've read I think there are two things regarding the root file provided by Chainfire.
1. CF-Auto-Root (This one is a method provided by him to flash devices directly to root them)
2. CF-Root (This one is where a custom recovery which is suitable for the particular model is needed to flash it)
I've flashed CWM on my phone and then flashed the CF-Root through the custom recovery installed
So I think as long as devices has a working custom recovery like TWRP/CWM then it can be used to flash the CF-Root from Chainfire's website.
