Is there a way to backup the android phone firmware without root access?
I have read many article but most of them need root access.

you can use kies..kies is samsung official tool for up-to-date and backup device

As far as I'm concerned, there's no way to backup your firmware without root access.
This action is a quite low-level action because firmware is basically what runs on your device and no manufacturer would allow this without rooting.

Doubtful
You might be able to find some firmware online but it depends really some firmwares get leaked you might be lucky to be honest but it is doubtful.

[Q] Canadian Galaxy Core SM-g386W rooting

Hi everyone,
i have been searching for 2 weeks how to root this phone, but no luck yet. I am saying no luck for a proper way to do it , because you can do it with the avant method, or by using the CF method which uses the SM-G386T firmware, and for reading lots of forums, i know it works, but the problem is if i ever want to update later, i would not be able to do so. I already have the firmware for my phone, G386WVLU1ANJ1, running android 4.4.2 KITKAT, and i have extracted the recovery.img from the firmware file. I am searching how to unlock the bootloader so i can apply whatever rooting method i want. Since i am new to this, i need some information. If i ever want to use the CF-Auto-Root method using the SM-G368T model, can i go back to stock phone whenever needed by flashing recovery image from the SM-G386W ?. If not, is there any other method i can use, preferably one that doesn't trip my KNOX flag to 0x01. Until now i have tried 2 methods, Towelroot and Z4root, which didn't work at all. The main reason i want to root is i want to get rid of the bloatware installed by default on my phone and gain control of my phone without any restrictions, and customizing it.
Please need help.
Thank you very much
P.S: can anyone recommend some reading about rooting android phones?

wow , 107 views, not even a single answer !!!!!
Sorry dudes, but you call taht help ?
107 views and not a single answer to one of my multiple questions !!!
So i guess i am not at the right place for learning or get any kind of help.
Update 2015/06/28: i finally did manage to root it properly with iRoot.
Thanks for nothing !!!
Again, i am sorry, but it p***es me off !!

I also own one of these phones and would like to root the phone to get rid of bloat ware and make the phone run smoother. I would appreciate if you could give a quick run down on how you managed your root. Greatly appreciated.

[Completed] HELP Devs Plz. Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F Failed to root after so many tries.

Hello Developers. I have Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F and i want to root it..
I treid all method (i guess). I also tried Rooting method of CF AUTO ROOT FILE which i did using by Odin tool.
But the problem is after flashing the file when phone reboots it shows SuperSu on my phone but when i open it to check whether its rooted or not it ask me to update binary. And when i try to update binary from Normal Mode it says installation failed.
I also checked with Root Checker Basic App and it also says that Your phone does not have root access in red lines.
I really want to use my phone's deep features but this wont me allow.
I really expect a reliable solution from here cause this is the only place where i can find some experts , pls Devs help me to root it. ( forgot to mention i also tried the one click root method, and very similar apps to root itself by phone.) Once root checker showed that my phone is rooted when i installed a app KINGUSER , and it was working to give root access to some apps. But i want to root with SuperSu. Got really frustrated:crying: by trying this hundreds of time pls help me. (And sorry for Bad English)
My Model is SM-G850F Android version 5.0.2 Lollipop
Baseband G850FXXU1COC1 .... Build Number G850FXXU2COD4

[Completed] Huawei p8 unroot problem

Hello, i'm new here. I use a Huawei p8 GRA-L09 C469 B160. Anyway, i rooted my phone a few days ago with root genius (which is in chinese) but once it was done there was no super user installed so i downloaded one from the playstore. So now i've been rying to unroot it but it just won't let me, i've tried rooting and unrooting it with king root, kingo root, super su, root genius and still nothing. When i try with root genius it says something about built-in root which my phone doesn't have and the other ones just fail. I've been looking for the original firmware (C469 B160) for hours but i've only found different ones that doesn't restore it. I really need help, please. Been trying to unroot for hours.:crying:

You unroot by kingroot.apk

I tried the full unroot in supersu app but it seemed to not work. My phone says root is detected but upon checking root checker it says no root. Trying to flash an updated stock room. Will it work? Sorry I'm really unsure of what to do now
