Xposed is incompatible with the ART runtime. That means it won't work on Lollipop.

This thread doesn't belong in Original development,not even in Android development.
Moved to General section.

my experience:
installation failed ----> reboot ----> stuck at samsung logo

Exactly the same happened to me .... !!!!

samsung bootloop
i followed all the steps here and my phone got stuck on boot logo.
didnt have enough time to find a proper solution except doing a factory reset delete and cache delete.
didnt work out for me so i flashed the rom again and now it's working.
is there any other way to root my device without any bootloops?

@Rando81 @davie088 @username0101

i followed your method and it kinda worked. installed recovery, system re root. installed supersu from play and it asked me to update binary. i accepted but it failed to update for some reason and asked me to reboot. i clicked reboot and got stuck at bootloop. i tried clearing dalvik and wipe data from recovery, still bootloop. so i guess it tried to modify a system file which did it wrongly and caused it to fail. either the binary isnt compatible with this rom, although it was compatible with chinese aurora 5.0.1. for now, im back to aurora. has anyone had any success rooting this? ill try tomorrow morning again. thanks

i dont know bro, it worked for me and some of members as well!
im trying some methods but i cant confirm that it will work with all of you, but try flashing this with odin download
tell me if you rooted your phone!

same problem
tell us if it worked for u

For all that couldn't succeed with the original SuperSU, use this one
Flash from recovery.
Worked for me.

Had the same problem, this is how I fixed!
I followed the instructions in OP, but was stuck in boot animation.
This is what I did to finally get root.
1. Flash CF-Autoroot through ODIN.
2. It should boot, but the SuperSu app is really outdated.
3. Update SuperSu.
4. It should ask you to update the binary.
5. Try updating through the Normal method.
6. For me it failed, and the app told me to reboot and retry.
7. I rebooted the phone, but the phone was stuck in boot animation (just like with the instructions in OP).
8. (Without wiping anything) I flashed Philz Touch recovery through Odin.
9. I downloaded SuperSu app that is flashable through recovery.
10. Rebooted and finally got root!

How to Root Note Edge (SM-N915T) with Marshmallow 6.0.1?

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.
Thanks,

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??

Nope

here`s the twrp for j23g
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p-3-0-2-1-samsung-galaxy-j2-sm-j200h-t3486994
and for root Just use magisk, it works on almost all smartphones and has much more features.

problems faced and solns found
1. During twrp flashing using odin, my stock recovery kept patching the twrp after reboots. So i couldn't install twrp succesfully. To fix this I unchecked "reboot" option in odin (thanks to another xda rooting guide)and switched off device manually after flashing. Then booted into recovery by pressing "home+vol up+power". this time stock rom was gone and twrp was there to welcome me.
2. i ended up in a bootloop after flashing the aforementioned superuser zip file. Instead i flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip and fixed the bootloop.
Note- My device is Samsung Galaxy j200-G.

Nice Tutorials
Hey i m ramcharan thanks nice guide how to root samsung J200G

Chainfire root method

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.
I am in no way responsible for any lost data or bricked devices please note if you follow this tutorial you will trip knox and your warranty will be void.
1. MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE CAN'T BE STRESSED ENOUGH
2. Flash the latest SM-G920F firmware with odin.
3. Setup device let it check for software updates, install the update if available (I had an update)
4. Download latest twrp recovery in .tar format for the SM-G920F from twrp website
5. Download the latest stable version of SuperSU.zip
6. Download Samsung Antiroot Removal Kit
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.
10. Locate the SuperSU.zip install it but don't reboot
11. Locate the Samsung Antiroot Removal Kit and install it
12. Go back in twrp go to the format option and select format data once formatted reboot the device.
It will take some time to boot once it's rebooted you will have a rooted SM-G920F with SuperSU

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.

Can't install TWRP on S7 under OREO

HI all
Strange problem...
I have the latest stock firm ( G930FXXU2ERE8) installed with ODIN 3.13.1 on my S7
No problem...phone up and running
BUT I'm unable to install TWRP !!!
I've read that the TWRP to install is TWRP 3.1.0-0-herolte.img.tar..
Done with Odin 3.13.1...
Everything OK, Passed, no error....
But when reboot the phone in recovery, TWRP doesn't show up, replaced by the default OREO recovery
Are tou guys aware of such a behaviour
thks in advance for any tips

Try disabling Auto Reboot in ODIN
After the flash, disconnect USB, force power off, then boot immediately into recovery (Do not let the phone boot)
Used to work with the S5 for the same problem

That fixed the problem for me, too. Thanks a lot. Saved me tons of time, I guess. :good:

For safety, one more question about Oreo. My S7 is on Oreo. I want now to switch to LineageOS
I must do:
s7 oem unlock + USB Debugging
Download 3.13.1
Download twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img
Download LineageOS + Gapps + (magisk, when i will root)
Start Odin
TWRP to "AP" , no "Auto Reboot" and Start
After that boot manuelly in TWRP
Reboot again in Recovery
Wipe all Data
Install Lineage + Gapps + Magisk
Reboot
All ok?
I have now read a couple of times from a "no encrypt" or something like that.
Do i need something like that?
If so, which file should I download and when do I have to flash it? Many thanks in advance!

The no encrypt step is a part of the TWRP install, if you go to the TWRP install thread it has the steps including the required zips for encrypt/dm verity

I have the S7 SM-G930F. Will this process wipe all my data if root my device for the first time?
