I'm trying to root my galaxy a8 (sm-a800f), but everytime i flash the CF-auto-root file i would just be greeted with this same message. I'm sure its the correct file, because its the only one out there. Everytime this happens, I just flash the official stock ROM again and everything is fine, I don't even lose my data.
CF-Auto-Root-a8elte-a8eltejv-sma800f.tar is the file im using, and A800FXXU1BPH4_A800FOLB1BPH4_A800FXXU1BPG3_HOME.tar is the stock rom.
I have OEM unlock enabled.
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Some users reported that CF-Auto-root don't work with that firmware. Try other methods like:

ok this is how it all started. my galaxy s4 19505. was rooted but then every day apps would mysteriously uninstall. at random. and apps would unexpectedly close at random then be stuck in a loop of pressing ok to confirm it closed. this was starting to bug me so i wanted to fix this. i then looked to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 or 5 i tried to upload a new rom via odin. but it wasnt working. it was an authorisation fail. so then i thought id reset it to a factory wipe. so i wiped cache and wiped data. now its stuck with the error message of kernel is not seandroid enforcing. and it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
i can still access the root menu to update. but when i update it says unauthorized access and something like bad footer and no authorisation. i can still upload but on odin i have the same problem a fail in the authorisation.
please help!!
i also forgot to mention that i cant carry anything onto the sd card ive got. i do have a spare but the other one is my 64gb one. its not letting me transfer anything and i cant format it.
Hi,
Odin is used to flash original stock firmware, not custom roms. But maybe you know that.

Hi,
If you flashed stock firmware again with Odin, twrp should be gone, and Stock recovery should have been restored. So I suggest you didn't flash the full firmware, or it was modified firmware.
Also, you could try flashing CWM Recovery instead for your device, or a different twrp version even.
Any help on anything further, please ask in this dedicated help thread for your device,

I flashed the stock rom with odin on my samsung galaxy core gt i8262, and now it's stuck on the flashing samsung logo. Recovery mode DOESN'T work. I tried to flash a different recovery (cwm, or even the stock one) and after that it displays a yellow triangle below the samsung logo (the one that shows up first, not the flashing one) and recovery mode still doesn't work. I tried to repartition it with an official pit file and its the same as when i only flash the stock rom. What should I do?
Hi,
I'm sorry, but for your device I can't find any thread with your needs but you can try to flash stock firmware (google) and do a reset from stock recovery.
So, you have a choice to start asking in the general forum for Q&A from here:
XDA Developers> General discussion > Questions and Answers
or try something in the old Galaxy Core from here, maybe some users can direct you in the right place:

Hey folks!
A few days ago, i rooted my Samsung Galaxy A5 (Sm-a500fu) with Kingroot, which was no problem.
Yesterday i decided to install TWRP as custum recovery. I downloaded it, and flashed it with Flashify. The really next boot got blocked with the error message: "Custom binary blocked by reactivation lock; secure fail: recovery". The only avaiable thing was download mode.
So I looked for a solution on google and all it was saying was to flash the stock rom again. I tried to flash it with Odin3 but right after the start i got a "FAIL!" in Odin.
Now I don't know what to do because I don't want to lose the data (esp Images) on my phone. I found a solution that could work: Download a "Pit-File", hit the repartition checkbox in odin and then start.
After that, the other problem persists: The reactivation lock is still there
Is anyone able to help me?
