Are you sure you aren't using CF Auto Root that isn't for a previous Security Patch? If you're using an up-to-date one then here's another way around it, but you will require a custom recovery first:
1) *Download the latest TWRP for your phone (I believe this one should be the one for you https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/twrp-3.0.2-4-herolte.img.html)
2) Flash the image through the 'AP' tab
3) Go onto the options of the Odin program and untick 'Auto-Reboot'
4) Hit start and it should take like a 1 min to flash through
5) Hold the Volume Down + Power + Home simultaneously
6) When the screen goes black or you see the Samsung Splash Screen, hold Vol Up + Home + Power and you should boot into custom recovery
7) Go onto 'Wipe' and 'Format Data'
8) You should still be able to transfer files to your phone while in recovery, so download the SuperSU zip onto your PC and move into SD card and flash it through
9) Download root checker to see if its all worked out
10) Let me know if you have any problems
*Make sure OEM Unlock is on*

i got the Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing with this method. I was able to install recovery through the twrp app but something is not right, it seems that my storage is not mounted
Try flashing stock rom to get a fresh start. Then CF autoroot again. Back anything up you want to keep obviously.
If you are on Nougat cf auto root doesn't work you have to flash a custom recovery and then root using SR2 SuperSu or later the current lastest is SR3 I think my sm-g930f is Nougat but if you also are then there's no point in rooting because most things don't work like Lucky Patcher Xposed Macrodroid there are only the sound mods and titanium backup

HELP Please...
My understanding of the below thread is that I'd be rooting my phone with a pretty close to stock rom. My phone is currently not rooted.
In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-t3060130/post59578778?nocache=1#post59578778
step #6 I have no advanced wipe option, nor do I have the install option. What did I do wrong? I'd like to root my phone using his close to stock rom from the link above. I figured I needed another recovery mode instead of the stock one, so I downloaded odin, and then TWRP. I went into download mode, and supposedly installed TWRP. However when I hold power + up + home it goes into the stock recovery mode....what gives?
My recovery mode looks like this:
Android system recovery
LRX22C.N910PVPU1BOB7
Volume up/down to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
enable cp logging
disable cp logging
Your help is most appreciated...
Anyone? I just wiped out my data (backed up of course) but basically have no phone to use until I continue with rooting. However..I am unable to install "Stock_Rooted_NoKnox_N910PSPT1BOB7_DEODEXED" because I can't perform the suggested advanced wipe, nor do I have the install option when booting into recovery mode...when trying to install from SD (which is where I placed the "Stock_Rooted_NoKnox_N910PSPT1BOB7_DEODEXED" I got an error stating something to the affect that it was not a genuine or valid image (don't recall the exact error message). So basically the phone ended up doing a factory reset, and I'm back at square one again. To validate that it is back to stock, I tried to install chainfire's SU, and no sticky bit could be found Also knox has not been tripped yet because its still 0x0. I've rooted in the past on previous phones, so I'm not sure why I'm missing the recovery options I need.

Hi,
Looks like you're using Stock Recovery. Get a copy of TWRP (it should be trltespr and must be in .tar format) But before doing it so, root your device first using CF Auto Root. You need Samsung USB Drivers, and Debugging mode to be enabled on Developer Options.
Samsung USB Drivers -> Technical Documentation | SAMSUNG Developers
CF Auto Root -> CF-Root Download <- for Android 4.4.4 KitKat only!
TWRP -> Download TWRP for trltespr <- be sure to download .tar file to be flashed in ODIN.
First of all, is to enable Debugging mode. Go to Settings -> About device and tap 7 times on Build number. After doing it, go to Developer options and tick USB debugging.
Extract USB drivers and install it.
Extract Auto Root.
Reboot your phone to Download mode using combination of Power+Home+Volume(-) button.
Open ODIN and choose Auto Root file (.tar.md5 format) in AP.
Hit Start button and wait until device reboot to Recovery mode and installing root files.
After device rebooted, you should see SuperSU app. If you see it, your phone is now rooted.
Reboot your phone back to Download mode. Open ODIN once again and choose the TWRP file (.tar format) in AP.
Hit Start button. After finished reboot to Recovery and TWRP should be installed.
Note:
Doing it so will void your warranty (as KNOX Warranty Void will set to 0x1).
Hope this helps.
Thanks...this did help...and I thought I clicked save a long time ago but I guess I didn't. TWRP in place, and root was successful. Now hopefully Xposed framework will catch up to lollipop so I can run X-Privacy again.

Hello,
XDA, would it be possible to look into rooting a Samsung Note Edge (SM-N915T) with Marshmallow 6.0.1. I've tried different things, but there doesn't seem to be a process for this phone with that OS.
Let me know.

you should flash via Odin for CWM and pull out battery method if notified FAIL, also cautioned about the SUPERSU must be 2.76 which patched the Samsung security updated, i was success rooted my Sprint 915P FW6.0.1 dueto this way
I rooted my phone following this procedure (the FY version of the Note Edge but should work for any other)
You need the following tools:
Samsung drivers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3d61st8zaxas4pt/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1_5_6_0.exe?dl=0
Odin 3:09:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ua0sqizz1m6558d/Odin3_v3.09.zip?dl=0
SuperSU 2.74:
https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip?retrieve_file=1
and CWM for the T version of the Note (from this thread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...15s-n9150-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-5-1-t2954960
Move all files to a folder on the PC.
Copy the SuperSU your Cell (SD card int/ext).
Install the drivers for the phone.
Then go with the phone in the DL (download) mode.
Start Odin, connect the phone to the PC.
If Odin recognizes the cell phone continue.
Some side notes:
To get in DL (download) mode use key combination <VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER>.
To get in recovery mode use key combination <UP VOL + HOME + POWER>.
Press these buttons simultaneously.
You flash CWM in DL mode via Odin (in "AP" insert CWM) to the mobile phone.
It is important that you previously deactivate "Auto Reboot" in Odin.
When the flash process is finished, you just wait one minute after you have pressed the "Start", pull the cable from the phone and remove the battery.
Wait a couple seconds, and put the battery back inside.
Now, and this is important, you have to come directly into recovery mode.
If the phone starts normally into the system, CWM is overwritten with the standard recovery.
If you're in CWM, you go to "Install zip" and select the SuperSU to install.
ATTENTION: if CWM asks you to install root or SuperSU, answer with NO, else you get a bootloop!
Now you can Restart, normal into the system.
That's it already, if you're in the system, you install this app from Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummyapps.rootchecker
When you got root just update SuperSU and install busybox and you are good to go

Would this work with N915F International?
Thanks,
If we already have recovery do we still need to step backwards and install cwm, also do we just not let supersu update to 2.79 and leave it at 2.74 or 2.76?
I appear to only have partial root, none of the app's are [rompting me to grant or deny supersu.
Will this thing work is twrp latest recovery installed??

I try to install twrp through odin but after the process is done it says in the recovery "no command" then go to the android recovery.
1. Download TWRP: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
2. Start Odin as Admin
3. Boot Device into Download Mode
4. Connect your S6 to PC (Odin should show "Com 1" for example)
5. Click on "AP" and then choose twrp
6. Deactivate Auto reboot in odin
7. Flash it
8. When its done, hold Volume Down + power
9. Directly after screen goes black, make volume up + homebutton + Power
10. Now it should be flashed
thankyou

Root is not needed. You can download any rom, Noble Experience for example, and then you go into recovery. But make a nandroid backup. Then choose the rom, follow aroma installer instructions. After that, you can flash a custom kernel like noxx. For root, use Magisk. You can find everything here in xda
Root (as a Magisk) will be depends because that's will be at Stuck of Only Recovery anyway in without Magisk... - Beside of "Auto Reboot" or Not: Doesn't be have a difference.
Backup is require or not
Is there anyway to flash TWRP without ODIN or root , as I have no access to a PC?
Hi, I've tried a few tutorials on this forum on how to root the Samsung Galaxy S7 G930f.
After flashing the chainfire autoroot file my device stays stuck on the Samsung logo I've waited over 1 hour for the device to boot but it does not.
My question is can anyone explain what I could be doing wrong my device is on stock nougat I did root successfully with magisk a couple of months back but was not happy with having to format my data.
I also prefer chainfire SuperSu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I also had the same problem. So, I did the old fashioned way.
1. Download TWRP.tar from here: https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/
2. Download the latest stable SuperSU zip. If you want the link: Here ya go
2. Instead of flashing the CFAutoroot file, open Odin, click on AP and select the TWRP that you downloaded.
3. Once it flashes successfully, power off the phone, then Press and hold Volume Up+Home+Power Button to get into the recovery.
4. Copy the SuperSU and flash it and Viola! You got SuperSU!
You probably knew steps 3,4 but I wrote them just in case
hi may I know if you reformat your data after step 4?

Well, yeah. I always start with a clean slate. Just a habit i picked up when i had a OnePlus One. You should be fine without a format though...Cause you're just rooting, not flashing a whole new ROM.
Thanks for helping me out, unfortunately after flashing twrp and booting into twrp recovery the default android recovery loads up.
I will continue searching for a method that does work. If you know anything else I could try please let me know.

That's weird, I just flashed stock firmware and TWRP a few mins ago and it worked fine for me. I hope you used the .tar and not the .img and the Odin that comes with CF Auto Root, not the one you use to flash the whole stock firmware.
I did use the .tar and have also tried with Odin that comes with cf autoroot.
Unfortunately I still get the same result flash of twrp is successful when I boot into recovery I get the android installing update with dead android then it just goes into to stock recovery.
I will try a few more times if no success I'll try with a fresh install of stock firmware.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it.
I decided to try again and succeeded but still had to format data to get the phone to boot. I made a full backup on my laptop before proceeding I did the following steps to successfully root.

7. Transfer the files to your SM-G920F sd card
8. Power off your SM-G920F and enter download mode by holding the volume down + home button + power button read the warning press up to allow custom flashing.
9. Open Odin I used Odin v3.12.3 tap the AP button locate the custom recovery and flash it's done be ready to enter twrp recovery as the device will boot quickly, as soon as it powers off to reboot hold the volume up + home button + power button if timed correctly you shall enter twrp recovery.

how did you backup your files on step 1 if your not rooted?
This is how I backed up my phone it's a bit tedious could have been done quicker.
First I removed my memory card from the phone. I then connected my phone in MTP mode to my laptop I dragged the folder of the files I needed to my laptop.
I then used MobileGo to export .apk files of the apps I wanted. I then exported the photos and videos I wanted to keep.
I did a WhatsApp backup copied the folder to my laptop.
I then made accounts on all games that I wanted to keep my progress on using Facebook and Google Play. Some games allows signing up with email address.
I used Mcbackup to backup all my contacts and e mailed them to myself.
I know that I could have used Google Drive or Samsung Cloud for some of the tasks but I prefer backing up this way.
now i was looking for how to root my j2 prime because its what i use to login with my vpn then i use a proxy server on it to route all traffic connected to it while its in hotspot mode but it seems proxy servers have their limitations and so im forced to root so i can just hotspot the vpn directly with an app, but after searching i found 3 methods all using superSU which im not comfortable with anymore, all with many steps but in my experice since this phone has got nothing to lose i decided to experiment and boom it worked...

STEPS
1. BOOT PHONE IN DOWNLAOD MODE (power+vold-down+home)
2. FLASH TWRP in the AP OPTION in ODIN (untick auto reboot;very important) then after flash succeeds
3. Pull out battery and boot to recovery (power+vol-up+home)
4. FLASH MAGISK.zip from your SDCARD (Recovery wont be able to mount internal storage so make sure to put the MAGISK.zip in your SDCARD)
5. Reboot and Hello systemless root
credits to this thread where i was searching for root, includes link to 3 methods but mine is the shortest and easiest

I'm unable to start recovery mode. I pull out the battery and after pressing the keys the phone simply goes off. Also I'm unable to enter recovery mode anyway (after turning it off and not flashing anything). That's it, I can't enter stock recovery either.
I tried all button combinations and it just doesn't enter recovery mode.
Never mind, it was probably a faulty button. Pressing with force did the trick. I however employed a bit different path (or perhaps I wrote it down more detailed), which come out more noob like, I'll leave them here for anyone that might use them
Noob, baby steps to root the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532M:
1. Enable developer mode and selected OEM unlocking and USB debug, dunno if it's needed but I did it because in all roots I have seen this is a must.
2. Put the Magisk zip onto a SD card (currently Magisk-v18.0) and put the SD card into the phone. Then I turned off the phone.
3. Turn on the phone into download mode (power+vold-down+home), connect the phone to the PC.
4. Open ODIN and FLASH TWRP file using the AP button (VERY IMPORTANT, uncheck the auto reboot in options, otherwise the recovery goes back to stock I think and the phone will boot into the regular OS, and you'll have to flash TWRP again), wait a few seconds to the flash to finish (odin says PASS! in green).
5. From this screen without touching anything reboot the phone into recovery mode (power+vol-up+home) (just in case press hard the vol+ key). If it boots the phone in regular mode, do steps 2 , 3 and 4 again.
6. FLASH MAGISK.zip from the microSD. When finished wipe Delvik/Cache.
7. Reboot the system. Open the Magisk app (you might have to wait a few seconds for it to appear among on the apps) then press yes when prompted to finish installation as many times (2 times I think). And done, you have your phone rooted.
PD: Magisk can be found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
As for the TWRP file (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-g532_5617b.tar), use the one in the link on the OP.

why am i getting an error? it says
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Magisk-v17.1.zip' "
can i get some help here?
Good day!
Is disabling dm-verity and force encryption included in the process?
And also, everything works fine but how is that i cannot delete system apps manually? They're returning back after reboot.
Thanks.
Unable to detect the phone -win nor Lin
Hello guys
Something really extrange is happening.
My j2 prime -532G- can't be detected by Windows nor Linux.
The usb is working because it charges the phone, but I can't access the phone at all. I checked all the drivers in Win -google/adb and samsung- and in Linux libmtp/heimdall/etc.
I have tryed different usb -not the original one since i lost it-
Even when i start the download mode, nothing happens.
it there a way to root the phone without a PC? i have tryed also kingroot apk but it is useless.
Thanks

I can't seem to get this phone to go into recovery after flashing TWRP. It always goes into a normal reboot no matter how hard i press the button combination.
Any idea about how to make it reboot to recovery any other way

Any ideas

Did the phone trigger an Autoplay window (to ask you if you want "view files", "import media", etc.)
Did the phone appear in the file explorer (as a media player device?) with storage(s)?
