This WILL trip KNOX! And you will most probably lose warranty!
Enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings. Also enable USB debugging in developer settings. Before flashing!

If you don't enable OEM unlock you will get a FAP lock and it will end up in failure of flashing
2.nd is to not "relock" the oem unlock since if you might trigger something that tries to boot into a "custom" recovery it will stay on boot loop into a "FAP" binary info on S5 Neo Screen

Code:
[QUOTE="NotGrump903, post: 0"]I wrote a little guide on how to root Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo SM-G903F with this new CF-Autoroot files.
Should work with SM-G903M too, you just need to download the file for the M variant.
Note that this will trip KNOX to 0x1! You, and only you, are responsible for what you do with your device.
When something goes wrong no one from XDA can held responsible. Do this at your own risk!
First make sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers.
Then simply follow these steps:
1. Download the CF-Autoroot zip file for your phone from [URL="https://download.chainfire.eu/779/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neoltexx-smg903f.zip"]here for G903F[/URL] or [URL="https://download.chainfire.eu/780/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neolteub-smg903m.zip"]here for G903M[/URL]
2. Extract it to desired location.
3. Enable USB debugging and OEM-Unlock in developer options of S5 Neo.
If you don't know how to do this or what this is,
you should most probably stop right here and leave your phone as it is ;)
4. Open Odin.exe from extracted folder.
5. Power down your phone and boot into download mode by pressing and holding Vol. down + Home + Power.
Confirm by pressing Vol. Up.
6. Connect your phone to your PC and wait for Odin to state "added".
7. Click on AP button and select "CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neoltexx-smg903f.tar.md5"
8. Wait for Odin to finish binary check, then simply press start and wait.
The phone should restart a few times. When this is done you're rooted!

No problems, with such thing. Its still off.
But good to know there might be a danger.

Little back story
How I noticed this
Used root tools and re disabled OEM unlock.
Tested to create a backup with flashfire and it failed and got me stuck on s5 neo with custom recovery binary FAP lock message
Ended up power down phone upon powering up same thing happened booting into stock recovery worked but didn't help not even if I wiped cache or factory reset.
Ended up in restoring whole system to make it work again.
So don't re lock the OEM unlock option it will end up bad if you try to do even if you don't have a custom recovery yet.

Thnx for writing the guide!

According to:
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
you have to use another file for G903M. Should work however.

It is called try at your own risk proceed with caution. It isn't ment for your device and might render some stuff useless. Chainfire haven't made one specific for m variant but it might work.
Again you try it with your own risk. Chainfire doesn't being held responsibility for your actions.

I thought the question is, that there are 2 variants of G903M, one is with dual sim (DS) one is without. I guess.
And there is root for M variant too.
Just check the OP again. Or chainfire. It was there since F.
EDIT: or the M means DS and thats the difference between those neo variants? Im not sure here xD
EDIT2: Yeah, then I guess all g903M are dual sim. http://www.phonemore.com/compare/ph...mds-vs-samsung-galaxy-s5-neo-sm-g903f/2917321
Then nvm I guess.

Will ROOTING my SM-G903F allow me to remove Region Lock?
Hi everyone, and first of all thanks for providing this information!
I just got my S5 NEO, and unfortunately found out that it was Region Locked, so I am not able to use it with my local SIM.
My only interest in rooting the device at this time is to remove the region lock.
So naturally, my question is, will rooting actually allow me to do this?
Would really appreciate a clarification on this!
Thanks guys!

Well, I know there were some files for unlock, flashable by ODIN, way before root. Also lots of users reporting success. It was on gsm hosting forums, but now all I can find is this: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f94...laxy-s5-neo-fast-safe-unlockunit-com-1992423/
Maybe they removed it, to sell that service.
But anyway, you can try doing it over https://chimeratool.com/ they got a trial you can use, if you already didnt use it. They should also provide unlock.
But I have no idea if it will work or not, so do it on your own risk. Root shouldnt be needed.
Also dont forget to enable "OEM unlock" and USB Debugging.
But really at your own risk.

Thanks for the replies guys, but I ended up purchasing an IMEI unlock code for $29 and that did the trick.
Got it from "Unlock Base"... great service and fast delivery in case anyone else is interested!
Good luck to everyone else with this problem!

I've found that "speedhack" apps like "Xmodgames" and "Oozhushou" don't work on my rooted SG5 Neo. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't find any solution and I barely have any programming knowledge.

Does anyone know if this works on a Canadian SM-G903W (G903WVLU1AOJ9) with Android 5.1.1 ?
Thanks!

[Q] Is any .apk or method is avilable to unlock bootloader of samsung galaxy S5

Hi,
I am using samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900R7, i am able to root this phone then started trying flashing of custom boot.img contating custom zImage. ODIN is showing successful flashing , but when i am restarting its always going in download mode with error message "couldn't do normal boot" . In download mode there is a line "QUALOCM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE". I doubt this is beacuse of locked bootloader.
I want to know is it really beacuse of locked bootloader?
I downloaded kernel for my phone model from samsung official website mentioned below and built in same way they have given instruction, so i ahve less doubt on custom zImage.
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=900r7
if yes then i have second question is it unlockable or not, i am not getting any unlocking method for samsung galaxy S5. whatever info i am getting regarding unlocking is upto galaxy S3 but not helpful for galaxy S5. PLease help me to come to a final conclusion on flashing custom zImage to phone.

As far as I'm aware most Samsung devices if not all have unlocked bootloaders, as for a soloution I haven't seen anything really but some say you need to re-flash stock then try from scrath or make a backup after reflashing stock and a custom recovery then format and restore to get it working.

Thanks a lot for your reply,
I searched regarding this and i found latest samsungs are coming with KNOX security in which SECUREBOOT is there, which doesn't allow phone to boot with any boot image if chacksum value doesn't match. so i feel even if bootloader is not locked here but same thng KNOX security is doing. Help me if you have any idea how to disable it in samsung galaxy S5. Getting way how to disable in previous series but not finding method how to do for galaxy S5.

Hi,
Yesterday night you posted a link, that link was good but still my requirement is different.Yesterday i was not able to go through whole link you provided to me, today i was reading the whole article. its looks like they are trying to save warrany of phone even after flashing custom ROM. They are deleting bootloader contents of flashing ROM, even i will flash custom ROM with deleted bootloader contents, In phone bootloader will remain same with KNOX SECUREBOOT feature. My target is to flash with KNOX disabled bootloader so it will not stop booting with custom zImage.

Actaully that link was removing KNOX from firmware which you are going to flash not from phone if you have already KNOX is there. That is for if your mobile is not having KNOX and you dont want KNOX when you are going to flash with recent updated firmware so you can delete KNOX contents from firmware and can flash.

Hard bricking Galaxy S7

I wrote in separate thread 10 days ago.
I got the rooted Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) which if I try to boot to recovery gives an error: dm-verity verification need to check drk first.
Then following step by step instructions I installed TWRP.
And flashed custom rom SuperMan-Rom V1.6.5
Rom worked fine until I rebooted the device for the first time. Then I got message:
Code:
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP
Maybe I accidentally turned off OEM unlock in Developer settings, but I honestly don't remember I did that.
And after that I got the hard brick. This is confirmed by @CuBz90 in this thread
So my question is:
1. After the Galaxy S7 is rooted/custom recovery is installed, the DRK is damaged and dm-verity verification will fail if stock rom is installed, right?
2. If user accidentally turn off OEM Unlock the device will be hard bricked, right?
Is that two steps one way ultimate bricking?
I'm asking that because I'm thinking of buying new Galaxy S7 to replace the bricked one, but if hard bricking is that easy, than I'm not really sure I will buy it again.
Dude, try to kill him completly ( nothing on screen ) then send him to warranty, you got nothing to lose.

It's not possible since I bought it second hand.
Even if I had a warranty, in my country (Serbia) warranty for smartphones doesn't mean much, I think I could write PhD thesis easier than to make seller replace/fix smartphone with warranty

No I didn't but the fact is it will not work.
There is currently no way to fix that. The only way would be to unlock FRP by some box, but it isn't released yet.
What I am asking here is true that Galaxy S7 could be hard bricked that easy? By steps I wrote in my first post.
My questions are partially answered in this article
But I still don't understand what's the problem with dm-variety if I flashed stock rom?
Is there are any other parts of the NAND that are not original/signed and that's why dm-verity fails?
If that's the case can they be backed up then reflashed with the Odin if I get into same problem with new phone?
Thanks
@mss1988 Even if you get message as locked because of FRP, just use Smart switch with Emergency recovery mode and you will get the device back to its original state. This works even if the device is rooted or Twrp'd

I don't have the phone anymore to confirm or to deny this. But the whole procedure in Kies and Smart Switch is the same. There are other people with the same problem too in this thread too, and they still didn't found the way to unbrick their devices.

I went through this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516 which gives a link to downloading the factory binary (of either version). It reinstated my IMEI which had been turned to a string of zeroes. I will say that when you reboot after flashing the factory binary it's pretty different looking so be prepared for that. I then went to Sammobile and downloaded the appropriate stock ROM for my s7 and flashed that with Odin. I flashed TWRP, formatted internal data when given the opportunity, flashed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, and I was able to use my s7 again. At any rate, you might follow the guide at the link I gave you and see if it helps. As always, no guarantee is given or implied. It's just what I did.
Thanks man, but I can't flash the Factory binary, my FRP is unfortunately ON.

I wrote in separate thread 10 days ago.
I got the rooted Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) which if I try to boot to recovery gives an error: dm-verity verification need to check drk first.
Then following step by step instructions I installed TWRP.
And flashed custom rom SuperMan-Rom V1.6.5
Rom worked fine until I rebooted the device for the first time. Then I got message:
Code:
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP
Maybe I accidentally turned off OEM unlock in Developer settings, but I honestly don't remember I did that.
And after that I got the hard brick. This is confirmed by @CuBz90 in this thread
So my question is:
1. After the Galaxy S7 is rooted/custom recovery is installed, the DRK is damaged and dm-verity verification will fail if stock rom is installed, right?
2. If user accidentally turn off OEM Unlock the device will be hard bricked, right?
Is that two steps one way ultimate bricking?
I'm asking that because I'm thinking of buying new Galaxy S7 to replace the bricked one, but if hard bricking is that easy, than I'm not really sure I will buy it again.

There's no adb/fastboot access from Samsung recovery or Samsung download mode, as far as I know.
Just get your phone into downloadmode and then flash the stock firmware witch you can find on sammobile. I got also this problem, and then everything will be fine ?
did you try use Kies or Smart swticher to factory restore the phone ?
because as far as i know , even FRP is on , you can still flash stock firmware.
and , try local shop to find any place have z3x box or Octopus box .

Samsung j3 2017 root

Hey I'm new to the world of rooting. Wanna do it to get past the network tethering thing. I pay for hotspot. But even planet didn't stop my 8gigs from being used up. So I've started searching for how to keep going with my hotspot.
I have no idea how to do anything past basics. So the more detailed and lamen the answers the easier.
I guess to root the Samsung j3 with nougat on it is first get past unlocking it.
Any helpful tip to get the unlock code for free?
Next is rooting it. A lot of techno babble baffled me all night long. So yeah that's what I'm trying to get help with.
Thanks for the time you guys may spend

I also have a Samsung J3 running Nougat that I would like to root. Mine is a Samsung J3 Unlocked (SM-327U) running Android 7.0 with May 1, 2017 patches. I've enabled the "OEM unlock" under Developer Options but I can't find a tutorial or TWRP image that supports this version. I want to install SuperSU but I'm stuck without TWRP support. I've already tried both OneClickRoot and Kingo, both of which state that the device is unsupported. I'm assuming that under the hood they are just scripting out the process but still using the same Odin/TWRP/etc process.
Any ideas? Is there a way to translate the changes necessary from another version of the J3 (e.g. SM-327YZ) to this firmware or are we stuck waiting for supported to be added to these (awesome) tools?
Thank you!
After unlock
After the phone is unlocked it should be easier to root it. I have a few more days in my service cycle till I reach the phone active 90 days to get the free unlock. After that I'll start trying to figure out how to flash it again
Hello,
like you'll see I'm new here. My problem is, that i can't root my european Galaxy J3 (2017).
Model-No is SM-J330F/DS.
Is it just me or is every single root-method actually a fake for this device?

My J727T is carrier unlocked because i bought it outright at full retail. I dont know how an carrier unlocked device would change anything. Our bootloader is locked which has nothing to do with being carrier unlocked...
Sorry for Hijacking Thread...
Maybe I will buy SM-J330F in Germany as it is cheap... 200 Euro...
and seems no Fingerprint Sensor. :good:
For Germany DBT I found latest Firmware:
Code:
J330FXXU1[B]AQH2[/B]
Please.
Can I root SM-J330F
If yes, how?
Maybe somebody can please give Link to Instruction...
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
if you want to bypass the 8gb hotspot limit you have to use foxfi and enable proxy in the app. if you set it correctly on your pc or gaming console it will not use data. no root is required anymore. i downloaded a full game on my ps4 using my hotspot and it hasn't used any data except my normal data and that doesn't matter since i have unlimited lte data.

I successfully rooted my J327U witb Chainfire's CF Autoroot (the T-Mobile variant J327T) via Odin.
After Root I installed Flashfire ( also by xda-developer Chainfire). I'm still playing with the app's various features but so far it is pretty awesome definitely an app I'll be making a donation to this next paycheck) you'll be able to make a backup of your device with it. Hope this helps.

It wont work. The tmobile variant and even the metropcs variant is bootloader locked therefore you cannot flash anything. I have a metropcs variant and everyone else in another thread has also. Me and a few others have tried for months to get root and it failed miserably. I suggest buying the sm-j327u. You can get it on samsung.com

Rooting shouldn't be a problem for this device
Post some specifics on what you have tried and the reason for failure.
I should be able to get something up if you post the details above and your firmware details.

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ this should help. the firmware for the device is here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-J330FN/ make sure to choose your carrier along with the correct country. the cf autoroot for the j330f is on the firmware.mobi site it should work if you use odin. if it fails to flash or something goes wrong you should have your stock firmware.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply back to you, I live right in the middle of the northbay California winecountry wildfires that devistated Santa Rosa, CA. so it's been somewhat crazy here.
The CF Autoroot that I used on my J327U is for the T-Mobile (J327T). I'm not sure if they started locking down their bootloaders, so you'll have to perform due dilligence on that end. If you do decide to give it a go, make sure you enable USB debugging and OEM unlock under developer options.

I used the same app and used proxy but just saying if you use your ps4 (setup for the proxy on pdanet or foxfi) it will only work for soo long because depending on what your doing on the internet with your ps4 it may or may not count data. I have past 8gb on my hotspot and i mostly just updated games and my ps4 system software and watched videos on youtube.

Then you need file from this website where you can find for your device and download it : https://eftsu.com/
After you downloaded this file put your samsung device in download mode *need oem unlock* then flash your file with eftsu tool.
Your device will reboot it and it will during boot ask to reset ,then reset it.
When it comes to system you need to download and install eftsu manager: https://mega.nz/file/Oo1yCSiQ#rWlMbcBiBHSzv5oMioyGxQZ0ynxqaeqz_Nfm4ze240c
And you are done.

My phone is SM-G955F with Exynos processor. Hungarian XEH code. The latest PIE is running on it. OEM does not allow unlocking. The slider can be turned on, but it also turns off immediately after enabling. What can I do to make OEM resolution work?
Thank you.

I have a samsung galaxy j4 +
I got it from a friend today.
The phone is after a hard reset (some dumbass did it)
Unfortunately, there is no access to google accounts because the accounts were from her husband and he died.
I keep searching and trying but can't root. Because Debug Usb doesn't go on.
And the computer doesn't read the phone after all.
Yes, I have drivers installed, various Odins, I also took your EFTSU, Fastboot and I do not read my phone anywhere. Nothing else is just loading.
Yup i trying Hard reset many many times...

Odin runs on a PC under Windows. (Saying you downloaded it to an SD card made me think you were trying to run it on your tablet.)
Try to use the Search function on the site. There's probably a thread on rooting the S7 Edge. There's definitely a thread on Magisk.
Here are the Magisk installation instructions.
Don't start with "I don't know anything, somebody tell me how." Read a lot of posts, at least learn some words.
Was I wrong to assume you want to root your tablet? What made you decide you wanted Odin? What is stopping you from Googling "unlock"?
Before you do anything destructive, find and download a copy of your current ROM, so you'll be in a position to recover. You can test burning a ROM without unlocking the bootloader, as long as it is an official Samsung-packaged ROM.
Good luck.

Well, you can't. Odin is an IBM PC program that runs under Windows. It is used to ship ROM files to a Samsung tablet. The tablet must be in "download mode".

Find the S7 Edge forum for help unlocking.
Odin is not part of unlocking. Odin is for downloading software to the device. I think you can use Odin without unlocking -- you will only be able to flash images. You could try flashing a stock image for a different language, just to see if it works. (Pick a language you think you will understand well enough to see how to change the language back to your preferred language.)
A separate step, with no reference to Odin, is unlocking. I think it is usually delete any Google account you have attached to the device, enable Developer Options, enable "bootloader unlock" in Developer Options, reboot to recovery or download mode (I'm not sure which), expect some message like "hit Volume Down to unlock" (could be Volume Up), accept that it will wipe data.
Once you are unlocked (verify by booting Android again, and checking the Developer Options to see if the "unlock bootloader" option is still enabled, but is now greyed out), you can try using Odin to download non-stock software. In particular, it is at this point that you might try to flash a Magisk-patched software to try to install Magisk. With Samsung, as of when I did it, installing Magisk will again require wiping data, so do not spend a lot of time configuring your device between unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk.
one can't bypass FRP lock on Samsung devices. what you try with Odin3 is impossible, it won't reset FRP.
find another method for that model, there exist some cheats on YouTube
