Try mounting system partition then rebooting.

Very good.

Rooting failed?
HI,
I love the details in your guide.
I installed TWRP and then went into reboot > system. I then swiped to install the binary, which it did. Once it rebooted, a notification appeared for SuperSU. I click it and it said SuperSU's su binary is not present, this is a fatal error!
I would appreciate any further help

Did you update superSU app from playstore, and made it update it's root binary?
TWRP adds a basic root binary that enable the latest superSU app to install it's fully working root binary.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply.
I clicked notification which opened the supersu installer. It then said "SuperSU's su binary is not present, this is a fatal error!"
I then clicked OK and the application closed.
Reopening the app still gives the same message

Update superSU manually from playstore, it should tell you if superSU binary isn't installed and might offer you an option to install it uaing TWRP, you can go for this method, or you can try repeating the post method again, as TWRP will ask you agian to root if the root binary wasn't installed. However don't worry, rooting using TWRP sometimes mistakenly miss somethings which cause to fail, but repeating the process will solve it..

SuperSU updated automatically, I did try after it updated and I did try re-rooting from TWRP. It rebooted after I clicked system under reboot section. I saw a previous comment about mounting the system partition. I mounted it and reboot, but it was no longer mounted after rebooting (by clicking reboot then recovery in TWRP). I then tried mounting without rebooting, this produced the same outcome. The phone reboots normally into the os. I also tried using SuperSU to fully unroot. I then tried TWRP again (both without mounting system partition and with mounting system partition). The phone still reboot into the OS. I do believe that I could restart from the beginning if I was able to uninstall SuperSU, but I can't as it was installed as a system app by TWRP.
I appreciate your help and hope you can find a way to make this work.

Hey crackpot360,
Open settings, scroll to the bottom and tap "About device", then tap build number until you unlock developer options.
Now open "Developer options" (above "About device") and scroll down to "root access". Change it to the "apps" setting.
Now, when an app requests superuser permissions it will ask you just as any other superuser app would. You can also choose to allow permanently.
When an app uses superuser it will show a "#" symbol in the Status bar.
To revoke permissions in the future, open the privacy settings, tap "Privacy guard", then tap the menu button at the top and select "Advanced". Then scroll all the way to the right to control the superuser access of apps.
I hope this helps
A thanks would be great

OK thanks for the reply first of all,
secondly, Ive already solved the problem by flashing supersu through recovery and updating binaries for it, but now my question is, should i follow through with your steps or just let it be? because everything as of right now is working fine.
Thanks again.

Is there any way to remove "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" on the top of the screen on boot splash? I have already installed TWRP and flashed Lineage on it. Phone boots and works just as expected, it is just that little detail that bugs me.

I have the same problem. Can you tell me how to mount my system partition?
I went to mount, then i checked system and clicked the internal storage. After that i went to system=>reboot but it just rebooted. It didn't asked me whether or not my phone is rooted!!

For those who want to root their Samsung Galaxy phone, I recommended to use the TWRP method. Hell man I tried the pre-rooted rom but it mess up my phone like it stop and stuck at samsung logo after rebooting for indefinite time. Luckily though I fix it just installing the Stock ROM. Then use the TWRP method to root my phone. Now it is rooted and updated and working fine. BTW, if the SuperSU asking for installation by Google Play Market or TWRP, use the TWRP because SuperSU is not available in store. It will download the binary of supersu and it will go to twrp recovery and just swipe it and it will install after that it will reboot. After that your phone will be rooted. Just download some root checker app in playstore to see if it is totally rooted. That's it, thanks.

[GUIDE to ROOT] for new users, step by step, main aspects clarified

INTRODUCTION (don't skip it if you want understand what you are reading)
Here we are, as promised.
A guide for beginners who hardly understand all the brief steps described in guides: root Galaxy S5 G-900V, unlock-bootloaders, etc. thanks for everyone who helped me with big patience (jrkruse, Bryanx86, XeCuTioN, youdoofus and all other guys) and who developed the scripts/guides. This guide is to help you keep focusing there
I'll try to be as brief as possible, remembering me when I entered in theis world without knowing this phone, and eager of flashing quickly the desidered ROM. I admit I've spent different days and a bounch bad words around figuring out all the obstacles that appeared time by time: you should know from the beginning that a small variation of the process described here may force you start from zero, loosing an amount of time, and that there are different phone models and also with different chipset, so you need carefully understand which phone you have before learning the process or losing time with wrong experiments, they will not work.
Anyway this guide will help many figuring out different aspects of phone, useful to everyone who is appraching flash the S5, it's a collection of important things I've read arond and experimented myself.
PHONE:
I have a S5 G900V with Toshiba chipset "CID11", and I tested all the following only on this phone, for questions/explanations read this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
I'm not going to give any support to other versions, but post me if I forgot something
DEFINITIONS:
PHONE: unfortunately there are a moltitude of Galaxy S5 released, they are dedicated to particular geographic areas and particular service operators, the 900V is created for Verizon brand and it has a native ROM with SIM locked. If you bought one with SIM unlocked (and you may even read under "about" it is a 900F for example! check the right one starting the download mode) and you want root it/upgrade you should consider that the first rom uploaded to begin the following process is Verizion original, and it contains SIM lock: you will not use your phone later till you flash the final desidered rom! Chances are also, if you have like I do a CID11 chipset, the SD card will stop be recognized, and that's a boring thing. EDIT: the SD card will work, it was my phone with the SD gold contacts spoiled, accurately I lift them up and sd worked always later.
CHIPSET: as I know there are two variants around, one with Chipset Sasmung "eMMC" and one with Toshiba "eMMC". Before you start you need to read the file /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid under the root path, the first two bytes will be 11 or 15, if you have 15 you're lucky and you may even remove the locked bootloader, if you have 11 there are not solutions yet for unlock, but you can install Marshmellow 6.0.1 (unrooted/without root). To check the file CID I suggest to install xplore from Lonelycatgames (you may find a copy around, google it and download apk, open the folder root, the path /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/ and at file cid push long and use the hex editor.
BOOTLOADER: The Verizon phones accept ROMs only containing their certificate (it's more complex but let's say it's like that), they are called stock ROM (ROMs coming from brend, original, untouched). To load other custom roms you need to unlock the Bootloader to avoid checks on certifications, and this is possible only if you have a CID 15 and only after rooting phone, and unlock bootloader. Then you will you are able to flash TWRP which is a nice console for upload any kind of rom.
Anyway, anyCID, there is a "workaround" called Safestrap that loads a TWRP console instead of the classic Android operative system (OS).. and it happens when you will reboot from its Safestrap applications: the console will load instead of Android on next reboot, and when you will reboot from Safestrap console, itself will restores Android the next boot. It's the only way to load ROMS when your CID is 11, but only very particular releases (read about down); and the way to unlock bootloader on CID15. We're waiting that someone in future will unlock also the CID11..
the "bootloader" or "download mode" can be opened only from phone switched off by pressing VolDwn+Home and when u sure u're pressing them correctly then press power keeping them pressed(!) until u see the bootloader, press then volume up.
"recovery console" or "recovery" is reached from phone switched off in the same way, but pressing Volup+Home (the power) until u see the recovery.
ROM: it's a file containing usually the kernel, the system with main applications (excluded google apps), some scripts (commands) to cancel datas before installing.
GOOGLE APPS: you have to flash them after flashed the rom (if the rom asking explicitly for them because made without (it means it doesn't contain inside any google apps that may be crucial for booting), or.. you have to flash them if you're targeting the final result (the last flash) and you want have apps updated in your "new flashed phone". It's not necessary when u're in process of root phone/unlocking.
FLASH A BOOT IMAGE/package: it's a file used to replace the bootloader, when it's needed, for example if you are upgrading from Lollipop to Marshmellow the bootloader can't stay in lollipop version, the versions should match, be sure to have both compatible already downloaded.
ROOT: it means gain the administrators privileges to edit system files on phone.
TWRP: it's a smart console to manage the phone with full control, allows to change the Android versions and many other things.
RECCOMENDATIONS:
1) have battery on phone around 100%, looks because it seems that at lower values make the phone react sometime unexpectly (power safe) during operations, that means you may loose after a lot time to figure out what problem occured/process skipped.
2) During the flashing, in download mode, the phone may not be charged from USB, and the PC power is much less powerful then the charger, you may see a quite impressive battery draining even when connected to PC, this is why is better to start near 100%.
3) During update, the USB up/downs may use lot of CPU of your PC due to driver recognition, keep then your Windows "clean" for the process, no apps in backgroud which use lot of RAM and CPU (for example browsers with many tabs opened), so the driver detection could be faster, avoid programming interruptions (for example installing apps in root.bat)
NOTICE: any time u'll use Odin you don't need to change its flags/settings (for example auto reboot), leave them as they are. If you uploaded something wrong/not certifed under download mode and the phone refuses that, you need to switch off the phone and restart in download mode again, it's not up to software Odin in your PC; you can leave it opened.
Odin will check the checksum of files that are loaded, so for big rom files you have to be patient and give it time to read all file.
When Odin is open and USB connected, you have to see the phone connected by COM, if it doesn't connect the phone may be bricked or you have to install the latest Samsung drivers (!! **you can't forget installing them if it's the first time using a Samsung device!!)
HOW IT WORKS:
useful to understand how is reached the goal here to prevent bricks, solve easier problems, find yourself an overcome. This root kit targets to install 3 applications on the phone, then use a temporary "bricked" kernel to allow edit system files and root the phone before it loads all Android, then restore the previous kernel working, and it ends by using applications installed before to install Safestrap into boot, to have a TWRP console even if the phone is locked.
As the Safestrap substitute the normal Android boot, if there is any problem on the process (=Safestrap will not boot when it's supposed to boot = you started it from its application) the phone may brick here, because when Safestrap stars it need to restore Android normal usage: if it will hapen the Android won't load again, the phone is bricked, read in that section how to solve it.
The first application, Kingoroot,it's made for allow the root permission into other two applications, it's a supervisor. If you use it gently and its installation succeded ok in the beginning of root.bat it will be enough for do all the job (even if the main Guide author suggest to buy SuperSUme).
Busybox it's a software that allows Safestrap to install, whothout it Safestrap won't work.
Safestrap it's a simple application, that if used in right way (I failed lot of times, but I always recovered my phone) permits to have a powerful console on next reboot.
IMPORTANT:
Whne in process, wait always that the USB drivers finishing detecting phone and become "stable" (CPU and hard disk aren't working, keep check them to be sure, as well the icon of the phone should appear in Windows resouces). You may need to start from zero if u miss this, a really stupid reason to lose time.
FILES YOU NEED:
G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5 as the main old rom, that works as starting point.
OK3_ROOT_V5.exe: set of tools and scripts for rooting.
Find them all in the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
PROCEDURE:
1) Open OK3_ROOT_V5.exe in one folder, if you use windows with particular language and not latin chars avoid to extract it on desktop, prefer a path like C:\galaxy for example.
2) Switch off phone, remove SIM card and SD, switch on in recovery mode and wipe data system and cache, then boot to bootloader
2) open Odin, open under AP G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5 and wait until it finished read file, connect phone USB, be sure phone is recognized, start flashing. Wait until phone boots, wait until it shows the beginning screen.
3) choose english, then wi fi button down, then skip the connetcion and everything else asked, insert any fake name.
4) When setup ends don't activate Wi fi, go to settings, about, press 8 times build number, get the development menu active, go into it and enable usb debug, wait for popup and allow your PC always, then disable the verify usb application installation in the same menu. The driver may set itself again after this, wait some seconds befor go over and be sure the phone is seen by Windows resources, when you see the icon of the phone on Windows file explorer and the CPU is low again it's time to run root.bat, not before! Go into OK3_ROOT folder, run root.bat, a black old DOS window will open (this is not Odin! Not confuse this window and what you read there with Odin messages, please!) and follow the steps you read in this new DOS window..
it will install apps, reboot in download mode and show you a new Odin window, select NK2_kernel.tar and flash it, now put your eyes over DOS window of root.bat, it should recognize your firmware and after some seconds display a full page of ########, if it doesn't something went wrong, you need to go to recovery console, wipe everything, and flash again the main big flash (=start from zero).
If succeed, and you will read it in the DOS window, as the last step, you have to disconnect USB, pull battery, switch phone on in download mode and flash VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar with Odin
5) After reboot open KingRoot application already installed, Click The Up Arrows a couple of time until you get to Try It and yes click Try It, then on the main circle, go back with arrow and you will have confirm that is rooted. Close Kingroot, open busybox free app, allow the root access, click on install (even if it start scannig) and wait some seconds, when it say it completed close it. Open Safestrap, allow root, click on install, the app will quit itself, open it again and click on install, it will quit again. Now reboot phone by the power key, hen rebooted open again Safestrap and now you'll be finally ready to click on the button "Reboot to recovery". Before doing it be ready to organize the next step, like files for unlocking bootloader or flashing a locked phone to 6.0.1.
END rooting phone procedure.
BRICK/RECOVERY: if it happens during root, before you upload any other ROM, there may be three ways to solve that:
Pull the battery out (it's almost safe) and:
1) Light: go under download mode and flash VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar, see if the phones later boot up normally.
Chances are, with "dirty" chache data that lead the phone to brick, you can't start the root.bat procedure again succesfully (use root2.bat to avoid the install of the three applications that supposed already installed). Then you may try to:
2) medium: go under recovery console, wipe data and cache, boot fom there to download mode and flash again VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.
Or, if still not successful:
3) Strong: go under recovery console, wipe data and cache, boot fom there to download mode and flash flash full G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5 (that means start from zero)
SAFESTRAP WORLD:
WARNING: you should follow at the letter the above process above, any difference may result in a fail of Safestrap recovery to open and phone bricked at samsung logo (+custom). If so don't worry, you have just to start the download mode and flash VZW_BPB1_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 again to see the phone working. But chances you probably now have to repeat all the procedure from zero because your phone is "dirty" and Safestrap won't work more, proceed to what I called "strong" reflashing in brick section.
NOTICE: when you reboot to Safestrap, after Samsung logo, you need to wait 5-10 seconds to see Safestrap.
FLASH FIRE METHOD:
You may prefer to use FF (Flash Fire) to flash your room, it is a app (apk) that needs t be installed on phone when the phone works in normal mode, it allows you to create a list of different "orders" to execute exactly one after the other after you give it the final "ok". The app reboot the phone and starting itself to flash. It may be faster then Safestrap, but when I tried once it didn't work for me, it flashed partially and rebooted before it finished, I had a soft brick and I should restart from zero. Probably it was me pretending to flash something wrong, there is only one way to upload 6.0.1 on a CID11 phone and I did only once with Safestrap.
For dealing with FF you need the phone rooted, after you followed the process above you don't need to install Busybox, neither Safestrap, but you need to find and install SuperSUme.apk, which is another "root manager" program as Kingoroot is, but FF doesn't work with Kingoroot.
After loading kingoroot copy the Flashfire apk and SuperSUme in your phone, install both of them, start first SuperSUme, allow the root, and let it remove Kingoroot in its procedure, when it finished launch FF and let him the root as well.
You need to find these two apk, google them, since SUperSUme is available only paying you should know what you are doing. I used these versons and they worked: supersume-6.0.apk, flashfire-0-50-android-apk-download (notice there is 0.52, but I tested 0.50)
PS: if you feel this useful, please thank me pressing the button

For uploading 6.0.1 to my locked phone I folowed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
I would just add that having the SD card "not recognized" I simply copied files of ROM and GAPPS into the phone folder accessed by Windows resources. And when I reboot to Safestrap I flashed as last step the GAPPS, nothing more to add.
When you wipe Data you actually don't delete the /sdcard folder, so the ROM files are safe there.
if you accidentally delete files under safestrap you can upload them by adb, but it will be really slow (around 500KB/s), here is the command: adb push /path/to/local/filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip
You may evaluate to flash also this before GAPPS:
Tethering_Fix_Knox_Removal_Slight_Debloat_V2.zip to remove Knox and useless apps from this ROM
If you need to put your default system language (the ROM is in english) download from google MoreLocale 2, open a DOS windows with the path to the folder of root.bat, activate the developer menu (point N°4 of post above), connect the USB, and type
pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

Do you know any details about the new pf4 modem?

no, Im not that expert, here is just a guide to help people into the process..

thank you for the great guide. I was able to root my phone with the clear instruction.
However, I am running into one trouble.
When my phone is setting up the language and etc, it requires me to insert sim or wifi. I can't skip that step without doing one or the other. When I do turn on the wifi, the phone then upgrades itself to android 5.0 but the root is still there. I am using T-mobile sim card.
Is there a way to get around the check up? I made sure to follow all the steps correctly too.

if u're talking about the first beginning steps, after the first big ROM loaded, yes you can skip. Select wi fi button, but after skip all the rest. I've never had to connect to internet or inserted a sim card for the process.
I connected/inserted sim only after the flash to desidered rom

What kind of details did you want to know? Mine works fine.

Very informative read, and also put in plain english for people that dont understand the usual processes for root, in layman's terms. But you're forgetting one thing available for locked bl that i found very useful before i unlocked mine, and that is flashfire. I was able to flash roms which could or would not flash through safestrap, through flashfire. Other than that, good job writing this

Hey! Thanks for this great guide! Could you help me understand how the check the file CID if my phone is still unrooted? Is it possible to do it?

Seems like the file name for OK3_ROOT_V5.exe changed. They call it GS5_LOLLIROOT.tar.gz now (must unzip twice to get all the files) but I looks like what is needed is in this zipped file.
Might take the plunge tomorrow so wish me luck, and thanks again for the explanation!

By "run root.bat" in point 4 do you mean "3 - Root Process.bat"?
Thanks for clarifications

Since you seems to have a genuine desire of helping people, (and because I want to have my phone rooted), I want to comment your instructions and also try to find what I did wrong, since my phone is locked in the black “Samsung Galaxy S5” screen when trying to accomplish step 4 (no worries, I have been there before…).
Here I go…
FILES YOU NEED
Samsung Drivers: No comments here, straight forward thing to accomplish.
From the original post Here, under “Installing PB1”:
1. Download G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_VZW.zip and unzip it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what you get today (161108) if you download and unzip that file:

}
From the same previously mentioned post, now under “Rooting Instructions”:
1. Download this zip GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what you get today (161108) if you download and unzip that file:
Then, under “crc” folder you will find:
And finally, “System” folder is empty.
At this stage my series of comments:
1. I don’t see anything called OK3_ROOT_V5.exe mentioned in step 4 of your procedure. I assume you’re referring to the zipped file GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z but since almost every suggestion here indicates to read thoroughly, I don’t want to miss any detail. Can you please confirm if what you call OK3_ROOT folder is the unzipped GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z?
2. I don’t see anything called root.bat in the unzipped folders above, mentioned in the same step 4. Can you confirm which one of the .bat files are you referring to? Is it 1 - Install APK's.bat, 2 - Flash NK2.bat, 3 - Root Process.bat or 4 - Flash PB1.bat?
Since my phone got stuck in the black screen when reaching this point and I had to get back to square 1, I’ll wait for comments.
Warmest regards, it is really appreciated what you do here, it is just my humble opinion that detailed instructions in plain English, with proper file names, punctuation etc, would save this world a lot of time and frustration, leaving you developers more time to deal with the important stuff, I’ll be happy to help rewriting or reviewing anything in this regard.
PD: Not sure if the images are going to appear, I don't see them in the preview. If that's the case, you can check here

This thread is out of date since the rooting method has entirely been changed

Can you please indicate where can I find the updated method? Rgds

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, since they changed the main files I'm disoriented too. If they removed the bat files it means everything is different now, and honestly I'm hearing now about that..
Would know too why they changed the process, it was working, complicated but working, and I still have my phone at unrooted Android 6 waiting for a major update, like root or Android7.. I don't have enough time to experiment something that may appear useless for me later.
Anyway reading the instructions may warn you about different aspects to consider.. and reduce the waste of time if some conditions happened.
Kindly write in this thread they way you proceed and I'll have care to edit the first post reminding it. Thank you

Great thread, need some help still
How do I check my chipset when I don't have root access? I downloaded xplore but I need root access to check the root folder.

go into the xplore settings and change the root inside, I've no-rooted phone and I can see it. In the beginning, it's just a way for them to push you install rooting apps

If I root my S5 900V using this method can I then reflash it with 4.4.2?

[Rom][Rooted_ALL_Carriers_Nougat_S8+BRB1_SafeStrap][SamFail][V5 Bootloaders]

My method is a little different than the actual SamFAIL method so please to tell me it says this in their thread. I feel my procedure is the best method for the S8+ and this method may not work on the other models so please follow there own set of directions. This method allows you to obtain root by simply flashing a modified system.img using only odin. These images include all carrier files and will work on all carriers. These roms should be stable and you can probably just use these as your daily rom. ​
What Is Safestrap
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. Safestrap is now based on TWRP Recovery (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here.

This thread is simply to get you rooted with a working rom.
This thread is not a rom request or features request.
If you dont like the rom that this method installs then install whatever you want.
Yes the 80 percent battery bug is still present in this method.
The screen gets a funny tint every once in awhile simple turn screen off and back on. This is not roms fault it is Eng Combo Firmware.
Sometimes FlashFire fails to achieve root or gets stuck acquiring root. A reboot usually fixes it sometimes it takes a couple reboots.
Kernel panics happen and will cause your phone to reboot to upload mode. If this happens simple hold the keys to reboot to download mode then from there reboot phone.
This is system root so safetynet apps will not work nor will samsung apps like Pay, Secure Folder, Pass. There is no work around

Directions
Copy S8_Backup_System_Image.zip to phone

Run Fstrim and select system to trim
Once system trimmed use flashfire choose add zip and choose S8_Backup_System_Image.zip DO NOT MOUNT system when it ask

This will take several minutes when phone reboots you should have a folder on your internal storage named System_Img_Backup and inside should be a system.img.ext4 file around 4.59 gig
Copy the system.img.ext4 file and place it in the MD5_TAR_TOOL. folder on your computer and place it in the Place_Files_Here folder
Run the ImgToTar.MD5.bat inside the MD5_TAR_TOOL. folder on your computer
This process will take 10 to 20 minutes to complete
Once done there will be a folder in the MD5_TAR_TOOL. folder on your computer called AP_SYSTEM_IMG_PART_1 and inside that folder will be a AP_SYSTEM_IMG_PART_1.tar.md5 which will contain your system.img from your phone
Just replace the Above AP..._PART_1 file with your newly created AP_SYSTEM_IMG_PART_1.tar.md5 and follow procedure in port 1 and now you can flash your system.img in odin its good if you bootloop your phone with a mod or something

No. No encryption. I just wanted to state I'm not saying I don't appreciate your rom still please don't take it that way.
If your 128 works, can you link me which one you're using? I'll snag it off Amazon quick

The phone will randomly read it. Like I can play a song for a minute or 30 seconds then it stops and I get the symbol at the top that says an SD card was inserted. The same when I'm trying to pull stuff off of or put stuff on... It will work for a little bit then unmount itself and remount. I saw that Google play may have something to do with it (other forums) but I've been trying to run traces on it to see and so far I don't see any error messages.

Help with Securitynet and play protect

I am unable to download some apps, especially banking apps due to CTS profile and basic integrity failing securitynet...also, my device (oneplus 6) is showing the Google play protect certificate is invalid.
I have never rooted my device or installed Magisk (or any other rooting software) ... the max I had done was open the Developer Options (and hardly used any). I dont know how to go about this without having to do a hard factory reset... even then, I am not sure if the required apps will function on the phone.
Any help with this will be much appreciated.

SafetyNet appears to fail on some bootloader-unlocked devices, even if the device has not been modified in any other way. Your phone seems to be one of these.

Thanks for the reply..but how do I work around this? Do I have to do a factory reset or get a new phone?

There is a solution but you are gonna need magisk manager and framework installed. If you already have it then skip this step, if you don't say it here I'll help
1) What model is your phone?

Is all of this safe? I dont want to brick my phone as i use it quite extensively for work... dont have the money to spend on a new phone...

google play works on my phone, i can access my gmail accounts, but my device shows as uncertified... I have even registered by device ID on Google

If you use your phone a lot, especially for business, i recommend to back off and dont root with magisk (thats what magisk does)
btw rooting is the only way to bypass the safetynet
The only reason im telling you to not continue is because i dont know much about the phone's model
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, the older versions of magiks bricked it (v20), now (v21) there is no problem
Also, i saw on the safetynet test you failed both ctsprofile and basicIntegrity, which i dont know if the solution i told would fix it

If you are rooted via Magisk even if you do factory reset you will fail SafetyNet Test ...
Try downloading Magisk Module or Xposed Module that "fix" SafetyNet

Hi. I have the same phone and exectly the same issue. Any fix?

How to root a system without knowing a bit about rooting? Plz Help

Respected Forum Members and Readers,
I am an Android Rooting Enthusiast and I am totally new to this realm of hacking into the device and gaining its full access. I have just known about it through videos on youtube and have myself tried to root my device Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro by following videos not knowing really how the things work in actual and ended up losing original firmware. But since then I have been trying to find how to actually root a system by even reading the Book on Hacking by XDA Developers written by Jason Tyler. I have somewhat came to know the internal working but I am also a bit afraid as to try again to root my device as i really don't know how to do it till now and this time i can really not lose my device. But i still want to gain access of it and explore the infinite advantages of having a rooted device. Plz if anybody can help me walk my way through it.

Rooting a device's Android simply means to add "superuser" ( AKA root ) functionality to Android OS, will say add an Android user with elevated rights ( comparable to Administrator in Windows OS).
Because your phone runs Android 7 ( Nougat ) IMO the most easiest method to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5.

it's very simple, i will try to be less technical but bear with me,
so, rooting is simply gaining access to systems core, by core i mean ability to access, modify and write into system (structure and file).
it is a great responsibility, as a simple stupid move can cause system to crash and may also brick your device.
------------------------------ but, don't worry as we here in XDA are there to help you,
as, the device in question is a Samsung j7 pro, normal rooting methods will not work as Samsung by default make it difficult to root it's phone.
you may refer this article to root your phone click here.
----------------------------- but it's some what technical so, i will explain, what is written there in next post.

so, about what's in the article,
--------------------- first things first, you may cause damage to your device so, just to make sure i will not be responsible for any damage.
let's begin, what i will tell you about?
ODIN (a software by Samsung to flash original firmware {that comes with phone})
TWRP(custom recovery, a tool that is installed (flashed using odin )on phone to flash custom rom)
Some tweaks files like RMM State By-Pass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt don't think much about them, they just bypass some restriction set by Samsung so, that rooting is successful. you can flash them through TWRP.
you can get link through the article for all required files so,
Download Samsung driver from here,
install them on your PC
download ODIN from here,
after it, open settings app >> about phone >> software info >> then click build number 5-10 times till you are a developer option appears.
after enabling developer option go to developer option, find it using search bar in settings app, it should be inside about phone section.
inside developer option enable USB debugging and also enable OEM unlock option.
after enabling OEM unlock option -----part 2 below.
this was part one if you got all till now you are good to go,
Connect your USB cable with PC. Switch off your device. Then, enter into Download mode. To do this; press and hold down the Volume Down +Home+ Power buttons and connect your micro USB Cable.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Press the Volume Up button to continue when you see the warning message.
Now, connect the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro mobile to the computer via USB cable.
download and extract odin downloaded earlier.
launch odin by clicking on odin.exe file
After connecting the Samsung device, click on the PDA/PA button to browse/search and get the TWRP from where you saved it on your PC. Also, navigate to “options” and save settings like shown below.​

after all this your phone should reboot automatically, and voila you have successfully flashed twrp on your device.
now power off your phone,
boot into twrp by pressing Volume Up + Home+ Power Button
then, it will boot into twrp.
Select Wipe->Advance Wipe->Select Cache Data
Return to Home of TWRP select Install
Select Magisk.zip (you can download magisk from github of magisk or from here )
slide to install.
same process for RMM State By-Pass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt install file one by one.
after all the process you should reboot into system.
then download magisk app and now you have root access, enjoy and like the post if you want.

Thank You for taking pains to elaborate the process. i just want to ask one question are you sure this method won't brick my device this time. Sorry i am being like that because the phone i have mentioned is my mother's so she would be really pissed if it does not go right. And if my device gets stuck in boot loop rather being bricked can it still be recovered...

don't worry bro if you follow every step properly it will not brick, but to be on safe side backup internal storage and app data before starting to root your moms phone.

and if some thing goes wrong i am here for you, generally speaking phones does not brick during magisk installation.

no and yes, if twrp flashes properly no
else yes

@Arihant0908
take note that in order to root Android by means of Magisk, as recommended / advised by @[email protected], neither ODIN nor TWRP is needed: flashing TWRP in this case - as a necessary prerequisite - is an absolute overkill.
All you need is to install Magisk Root app.

take note mr./mrs. @jwoegerbauer
if you know anything about magisk then you should know that it is not a one click root tool, you need to flash magisk for you to gain root access.
next, yes you only need to boot twrp but in case of samsung we need custom recovery to fix errors so it's good to have it flashed. odin helps remove complexity, and is safe to use.
i was trying to provide best stable and tested path and don't interfere if you don't know anything about topic, i humble request not to confuse people @jwoegerbauer

Ok so... in the end what i have understood is that:
1. I need to have Magisk.zip, RMM and no verity encrypt files on Phone.
2. I need TWRP, odin and android usb driver by samsung for windows 10 installed on pc.
3. I need to first flash TWRP using odin. Boot up my device
4. Then boot to TWRP, wipe cache, and flash Magisk.zip, RMM and no verity one by one as in one thing at a time using TWRP. Boot up and install magisk app.
If i missed something, disordered anything or have any suggestions then plz reply. Thank You
