Tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6, stuck on Galaxy S6 Screen - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, so I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S6 from MetroPCS and the first thing I tried to do was root it. I saw this Pingpong root and read that you have to be on Android 5.0.2 to do it. Well my phone came with Android 6.0.1, so I disregarded that method and tried to root it through CF-Autoroot.
I turned on developer options, and turned on the OEM Unlock. I downloaded the "CF-Auto-Root-zerofltemtr-zerofltemtr-smg920t1.zip" from chainfire. I put my phone into download mode and flashed the file to my phone, it went through all the steps and even said that it succeeded at the end, but my phone stayed stuck on the Galaxy S6 screen with "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" in red at the top. I downloaded the stock firmware for my phone's model from sammobile and flashed it. So now I don't know what to do to root my phone.
Oh and my model number is SM-G920T1, Android 6.0.1 like i previously said, the baseband number I'm not sure if it changed when I flashed the stock firmware from sammobile but what it is now is G920T1UVU5EPK6 and the build number is MMB29K.G920T1UVU5EPK6. If there's any more information required to figure out what I did wrong, let me know and I can try to provide it.
I think I did everything correctly, is there something that I actually messed up on? If so, what is it? So I can do it correctly this time.

Hey if you also have a MetroPCS GS6 the way I did it was by downloading the lastest ODIN, I used v3.12.3 and from CF-autoroot I used the "CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t" file instead of the one meant for the SM-G920T1 and it worked perfectly for me. After I was rooted, I flashed "twrp-3.0.2-0-zerofltetmo.img.tar". I don't know if I can post links or not, but I could try to post the links to the files I used or if not, message them to you or something.

Thank you! It works. I have the MetroPCS S6 running PK6.

hi scott and ace. IF your still around Ive the similar issue you've been having. after a year or so i was able to hold the vol down home and download a firmware from sammobile.com ( G920T1UVS6FRC1_G920T1TMB6FRC1_TMB ) and successfully was able to install it through odin. After that it seemed to boot loop or just freeze on the metropcs logo. i installed the twrp link that you gave us and back to the part where i was stuck on the boot screen with the seandroid red letters. reinstalled the firmware again from sammobile and works now. thanks!
::EDIT::
few side notes-on my original screw up ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...xy-s6-metropcs-g920tueu5egh1-bricked-t3772505 )
battery would not charge when at the samsung screen with the red kernel is not seandroid enforcing .no buttons would work even to turn off the phone. phone was very hot to the touch

Knox Bootloader?

Didnt know there was an ND5. There wasnt even an ND5 when I downloaded the kernel source code from samsung. And nope, There like 2 knox files in the entire firmwares which is just left behind crap I believe. Absolutely does not give you a knox bootloader and crap tho. Do make sure your tablet is a T230NU model and not just a T230 model.
Thanks a lot for this. So if I'm rooted and want to install system updates I would first backup data to sd card via titanium ,(or to pc?) , then factory restore via settings, Odin with this firmware, install updates, then vroot + terminal supersu, then restore backups.... correct? I'm still trying to figure out what bloatware is safe to remove...a guide on how to clean a out of the box tab 4 7.0 would be greatly appricated....
Will this Root my T230NU?
Hi, I am new to the Android market and I was wondering if this "stock" image will root my Samsung Galaxy 4 T230NU.
I am a formerly iDevice owner and I am quite familiar with Jailbreaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hello Ed,
I'm kind of new as well however I can tell you that this process will not root it. In my case, because I updated the software I had to use the stock Rom in order to downgrade and then root it. ShinySide explains the.. Rooting procedure in another post
thanks!
The downloads dont work
I try to donaload the file and it just stops and goeas from one percent to another and never finishes.....is their another way to get these files besides that crappy website?

I just used these links to download the firmware and they worked great. Mega took 1/3 as much time to pull from as Sammobile. Thank you Shinyside! You are awesome. If I wasn't a broke college kid I'd would def donate.

So I rooted my Tab 4 7" and then decided to switch to Nexus 7 and sell my Tab 4. Both great devices but the specs and updates draw me to try Nexus after the Tab. Anyway, I went to Sammobile to get the Stock rom and inadvertently ended up with the Nook version. OOOPS. Had to reflash but the second firmware I downloaded from Sammobile (at about 1 hour each, ugh) kept failing. Even after wiping the Cache and resetting I could not flash with Odin. Tried placing the image on the SD and installing in Recovery and still no luck. Then I turned to the ONLY source for self support of Android and found ShinySide with the stuff I needed. Downloaded with the Mega link which took 20+ min instead of an hour and it flashed straight away and my Tab 4 is back to being a Tab 4 instead of a Nook. Just wanted to give props to ShinySide for his efforts on behalf of the community and his patience to put up with noobs even when they do/say silly stuff!
Thank you so much!!
Ive been trying to download this file from all these crappy sites and they keep timing out thank you so much.
Thanks for the great info.

I need to return my device and thus need it fully stock

tried rooting and somone got stuck at loading screen with device name and powered by android screen....stuck there and got odin to load and apparently flash the stock but im still stuck...
thank you
HI so i tried installing twrp recovery for my SM-t230NU And it got stuck in bootloop after trying to load custom recovery. Not a single Tar file md5 file worked until i got this rom and USED odin to install it. Odin just kept crashing on me till I got here and used the md5 file provided. It pushed the files while in download mode and rebooted and even still had all my apps and email going.
Again thank you so much and please reply if you have the same device and need help. I thought i bricked my Christmas present.

[Q] n915p cf auto root fails?

I just got my hands on the sprint note edge (such an amazing device!) and i've been trying to root it with cf auto root but every time i flash with Odin, it fails with the progress bar on the phone only about halfway. Any suggestions? I'm on the latest firmware, nk1, which matches the version listed on the cf auto root site.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
HEY, YOU. YEAH YOU. READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST:
We figured out the solution quite a while back, but I know no one wants to read the entire thread, so here's a summary c/p'd from the end:
But to summarize, we've been able to get root by flashing CF auto root, letting it fail, then immediately flashing TWRP. To fix any issues encountered with xposed framework (stock sms not working, lagginess, installations taking forever, etc.), freeze with titanium/delete data for shealth, health services, and private mode, install securestorage module in xposed or use the equivalent option in Wanam, reboot, and unfreeze.

Now if you've tried this and you're still having issues, then post ahead. If you haven't tried this, or need help with specifics, read the thread. There's a post by me halfway through or so with 4 XDA links in it. If you want more info on the problem with xposed, check out those links.

You may check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
Its for a Tmobile version, but it looks like they may have had the same issue, but figured it out... I haven't tried it yet, but am REAL close to giving it a shot. It looks to me that flashing TWRP after the fail, may be the key to making it successful? I have the Sprint model too, but am still on NJL build.
Does TWRP fully support the note edge yet? Some of those steps (disabling screen timeout) make it seem otherwise. I'm usually hesitant to go for workarounds rather than actual fixes... :/ tell me if you do try it out though.

to clarify, is that the SPRINT note 4 cf auto root files you're referring to?
Just checked. Sprint Note 4 cf auto root is for NIE. Is this even safe to try on the Edge?

There is an edge auto root. It just happens to be failing at the moment (for sprint anyways). There are workarounds for the T-Mobile auto root (which is also failing) but we're all too chicken here to try it on our new shiney Note Edges . . . Lol

Nope. That's what we all tried and it failed for us too. We're trying to figure out a fix or alternative to this. Anyways, to fix your device, take the .tar.md5 file found inside the CF auto root directory and open it with an archiver like 7zip. Extract the recovery.img to somewhere and run this tool on it. Then open up the odin included in CF auto root and choose the recovery.tar.md5 you created rather than the usual file. Flash in download mode and you're good to go.

Man, this is happening fast... I just got it done successfuly rooting my Sprint Edge. Don't freak, follow the instructions on this thread which works on Tmobile devices. I didn't install the SD card fix file yet, but may if I need it. You are basically starting at the FAIL point of that thread. Although you need the SU file on your phone, which you may be able to get it by putting it on a Microsd and accessing it from recovery that way. Good Luck, and don't panic, lol.

Although you need the SU file on your phone, which you may be able to get it by putting it on a Microsd and accessing it from recovery that way. Good Luck, and don't panic, lol.

Can you tell me exactly what you did step by step? Also are you on the latest sprint firmware?
And what version of TWRP did you use?

I actually downloaded the Chainfire file yesterday for the SM N915P, but was still too chicken to try it. After I saw this thread today, I decided to go for it. All I basically did was follow the instructions in TEKHD 's thread for the SM915T.
-Dowloaded Chainfire's Sprint AutoRoot file, Unzipped it.
-Put phone in download mode, selcted the Chainfire's Sprint AutoRoot tar file and hit Start.
-ODIN flashed "FAIL".
-I then flashed a 2.8.0.0 TWRP file for the Note 4, which ODIN said was successful, but it would not boot into recovery (so don't do that).
-I flashed the 2.8.1.1 Tmobile TWRP file from TEKHD's thread, ODIN said success.
-Booted into recovery, adjusted settings for brightness in TWRP, (TWRP was acting really flaky, but I pressed on) I couldn't find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip file in recovery, (I put the file on my removable SD card) so I rebooted recovery, and this time was able to find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip, and flashed it.
-Wiped cache/ Dalvik Cache. Hit Reboot-> System, TWRP said it didn't appear to have root, do I want to root? Hit yes, go , whatever, it rebooted, let settle for a few minutes, and ROOT was born!
Hope that helps and I didn't miss something, but thats how it went down for me.
To sum it up, Follow TEKHD's Tmobile thread, with the exception of the Tmobile Chainfire file, (use the Sprint one obviously) I also did not flash the SD card fix from that thread.
Let me know if you have questions, but I will have to bug out for a while here until this evening...
Good Luck everyone!

No need to flash the SD card fix. there's apps on the play store that will patch the necessary files for that (and you can delete the app afterwards). Interesting that the TMO twrp worked . . . Someone should try that with the SPRINT twrp 2.8.1.1 found here.
Edit: I tried repeatedly to flash both 2.8.1.1 and 2.8.1.0 versions of the SPRINT NOTE 4 twrp and odin consistently crashed on "File analysis".
Edit: I took the plunge and went with the tmobile method. Nothing went wrong. Everything seems to be working fine. The TMO Note 4 recovery is annoying though (two strips of white on both sides of the screen). I didn't have any issues with how it ran like Next1776 did though.
Edit: I'm experiencing some odd issues. The primary one is that anything I install through xposed or f-droid takes FOREVER to install. Anyone else getting this?

BUt just to confirm, jooniloh.... you do have confirmable root? Guess my clue should be that you are using xposed.... but just wanted to confirm before I went down the rabbit hole....

Awesome. Glad you are able to join the party!
I'm not having any issues right now. I have installed Xposed and Wanam without any issues so far. I did disable Knox and Secure storage with Wanam (under security hacks) as another poster suggested. Maybe also try wiping Cache and dalvik in recovery ? Hopefully we will have a stable custom recovery available soon. I say stable, but I guess this one is "stable" - its just not real pretty...

I had a similar issue with another Samsung device.
First check your download.
Did you download directly to PC? If not, do that first.
What Odin are you using? I have 3.10 and 3.11 that switch between just in case.
What windows are you using? Might need to restart PC.
Check your developer settings on device. USB debugging needs to be checked and verify apps through USB unchecked.
If you download firmware on phone and move it over to PC, you risk corruption of file. That was my mistake before.

This is indeed an older verison of the stock rom. Mine is near same numbers as this, but ends in apk6, I am not having luck finding it anywhere, now I am even frp'ed out of all my google accounts :\

I Need Help. :/ I had to unroot my phone due to the snapchat security thing preventing me from logging in. I had a hell of a time trying to find the work around to being rooted and still being able to bypass that security crap so I could use my snap. Finally gave up and flashed the stock firmware and did factory reset.
I have 2 problems I need help fixing.
1. Video calling doesn't work. Dial and it just beeps and ends call instantly
-I was able to video call fine when I was rooted and the LAST time I reflashed the stock tar, but it was an older firmware.
2. 4glte logo is gone and 4g speeds are not there or the same...
-My 4glte logo would pop up when I had 4g connection and it was a noticeable speed difference. When I unrooted and flashed this OEM firmare, my emblems are completely different and my speeds are so slow now compared to yesterday prior to reflashing this. I also have an "H+" sign for network now. Never have I seen that...
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------
Oh I forgot, I have ALWAYS been able to use my 4g while on the phone, now that I did this I cannot do that anymore at all. the weird H+ signal icon comes up but no data at all or extremely slow. This is a first time for that ever, even when rooted 2 times and flashed back to factory 2 times.
Please someone help...

I Have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Before I rooted it. it was on 6.0.1 Marshmallow
I rooted the phone just fine using TWRP. but after the root I tried to also add Xposed and that's when I got soft bricked into a permanent T-Mobile load screen with the white background and T Mobile Logo at start up.
Here is the link where I downloaded the Xposed from: https://www.xtremetricks.net/install-xposed-framework-android-6-0-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I downloaded the Xposed Framework for ARM64 Marshmallow devices in step 3. As the Hardware Info app indicated that I had a ARM64 Processor. When I used TWRP to Install the Xposed Framework. I got soft bricked after restarting.
I tried Factory Resetting, and redoing the TWRP root process. But no help. I've been trying to find the Note 5 Firmware to download to see if that works. But I can't seem to find the right file. and I worried I may make the soft brick worst. So if someone could assist me and point me in the right direction to solve this issue I'd greatly appreciate it.
I also tried using Smart Switch but it doesn't recognize my phone so that didnt work either.

Proper current method for root/TWRP (and maybe xposed) for Boost Mobile j700p?

Hi all,
Apologies for such a simple question, but there are a bunch of different threads over the last few months that have slightly differing techniques for rooting and adding TWRP to the J7, but there seem to be a ton of different versions compared to the J3 and I need to make sure I'm following the right directions for a Boost Mobile j700p. I don't want to waste time and risk softbricking this brand new device, so does anyone know or can link me to the most up-to-date reliable method? I just upgraded from a j3 and it seems like the method is very similar if not identical (odin twrp on, flash chainfire supersu, flash xposed) but I just to make sure I am following the right directions and using the right files. This is for a brand new Boost Mobile j700p.
I have attached a screenshot of my phone info, in case firmware version or baseband etc info is relevant.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

This is the way i was able to root my version of the J700P. MY phone is the same as the screen shot provided. The only issue that i had was once i flashed TWRP and did a backup, the phone would constantly boot into TWRP Recovery. So i had to reflash stock rom and root again oh and i unchecked OEM unlock to off, didnt realize i needed to leave it on so i wouldnt get the FRP Lock lol. Still waiting on someone to let me know how i can install TWRP Recovery and it work and not soft brick.

i have twrp, the most current version on the sm j700p. All you gotta do is use odin to install it. Just make sure u use the most recent odin and twrp file for j700p. Then when u place it in AP with odin make sure auto reboot option is turned off so it fully installs it. If u have auto reboot on it will not complete the process.
Ok I will give that a try, tyvm. I cant uncheck auto reboot. Here is a screenshot.

Ok sooo now i did a backup and now again, it just keeps rebooting back up into twrp. I have no idea whats going on with this. Gonna have to reflash stock rom again and then root again. This is frustrating to say the least.... Keeps saying Recovery is not seandroid enforcing, set warranty bit : recovery...... Thats whats it saying at the top...
