How to root S6: SM-G925W8. Android 7.0? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to root S6: SM-G925W8. Android 7.0.??????
Hi, i tried to root my phone, but then was bricked. I fix it, installing the firmware.
How i do it? I download the wrong twrp! Can anyone give me the correct one? And a guide after that. I dont want to break my phone. Thaaaanks. Regards.

-Put your phone in download mode and flash twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroltecan.img.tar with odin , after succeeded, the phone will restart, quickly press and hold volume +, power & home button go to TWRP, if you didn't do it fast enought,
it will return back to stock android recovery, you have to start this step again to have TWRP recovery.
-Next boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk 14 (you might need to install Magisk manager manually), reboot phone and you will have root.

I got a problem too.. Try to install twrp, but all i can find are image files of it and odin wont read those files.. What to do? And do i need to unlock bootloader before i install twrp to root and use rom?

Hello
That's the guide i followed, I run the bat file put it into fast USB mode. It copies the file and I see a small progress bar on the hand set then it says completed successfully. When I try to put it into recovery it just boots as normal and yes I am highlighting the recovery bit in the menu the hitting the power button to select it.
put phone into fastboot mode (you know how already)
use adb command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once successfully sent to phone, shut down phone then try again to access recovery (hold vol - and press power button once, scroll down to recovery) hope it helps

If you're having difficulty flashing recovery, you can easily do it with ROM Manager.
All you've to do is downloading ROM Manager from Play Store, open it and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, follow the steps, wait and you're done. PS, your phone must be rooted before using ROM Manager. It will flash latest version CWM Recovery available for your device.
Please hit 'Thanks' if I helped you.
*Modify*
Sorry I read it later that your phone is not rooted yet. So you can first install superuser.apk by flashing superuser.zip from inbuilt recovery(you'll find the way in rooting tutorial) and then follow the above mentioned steps.

I reckon there is a problem with the recovery on the phone as once i have selected recovery on the boot loader the phone boots normally, unless is is a key combination i need to press while it is trying to boot into recovery, i dunno

If your using a sense ROM, it doesn't fully shut down on power off. You have to take out the battery and put it back in before holding power and volume down to boot into recovery. If you can't get into the recovery, reflash it.

This was the method given in the rooting tutorial:
After unlocking bootloader,
Copy SuperUser.Zip file into SD-Card and then turn OFF your HTC Explorer (Take Out Your Battery > Place it Again). Then Press & Hold Volume DOWN + Power key to get into Bootloader.
Then Select Fastboot with Vol Keys and Press Power Key > When You are in fastboot connect your HTC Explorer to PC Via USB Cable
Extract Recovery.zip file anywhere on your pc and run the Recovery.bat file, wait a moment and you are done.
Now, after running the Recovery.bat file and successfully completing the above step press Power Key to get back into Bootloader:
Using Vol Keys > Select Recovery,
Wait until this Recovery screen is shown (It Could be in blue colour or any other colour):
Using Vol Keys Select Install zip from sdcard and Press Power Key > Then Choose Zip From SD-card and Press Power Key and finally select the Superuser.zip file using Vol Keys and Press Power Key.
And when it shows Install complete or something, you've successfully rooted your device.
From above method you've managed to install a temp. recovery from that recovery.bat but you need a recovery you can access without connecting it to PC but with bootloader.
After it, reboot back. Install application ROM Manager from Play Store. Open it when installed, grant superuser permission(just select yes when a pop-up appears. It asks root permission). Now follow the steps I told you before. You can do rest of the things easily.
However you can install a custom ROM(upgrade your android version) only by unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery. But as your warranty is already void now, root your phone and enjoy all features around.
Like you can install link2sd from Play Store. It can forcefully move any app to sd-card. So your memory problem is out.
Yes, now don't forget to hit 'Thanks' or you would not succeed.

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.

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?

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!

i dunno how to flash MM but i think i can help you back to LP. make sure you have stock recovery for LP. if you dont just download mobopx's tool. im currently using B328, so just extract the archive and place the dload folder in either your root or an sdcard. turn off phone, hold volume up & power. hope this helps. btw, installing MM requires more steps including an update to the stock recovery.
If you have already unlock your bootloader you can try 'one-key recovery' method with HiSuite version 4.0 (download it from the official chinese website) this method will restore and flash your ROM and your phone will be OK

[Root] [Recovery} Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime through CWM [SM-G610F] [SM-G610M]

Installing CWM Recovery + Rooting Samsung Galaxy J7 prime ( SM-G610F/SM-G610M )
Tested & Working​Know Issue
SDCARD & EXTSDCARD not mounting in CWM ( Not being able to flash/install ZIPs )
Fix​I suggest you to Install zip using sideload, here's a step by step guide :
First boot up your phone into CWM recovery
Go to Install zip update package and select Install zip from sideload
Now connect your android device to your computer
Download this and extract it.
Open command prompt in the ADB folder (mfastboot-v2 folder) by right clicking in the empty space of the folder while holding the Shift key.
Copy the Zip file you want to install on your device to the ADB folder, for example Xposed.zip.
Run the following command to sideload zip to your phone : adb sideload <filename.Zip>
Example adb sideload Xposed.zip
Voila! That's how you can flash Zip files​
First Part: Installing CWM Recovery​
NOTE BEFORE
Please make sure to follow the guide carefully and thoroughly as i won't be responsible for any damages caused to your device and also keep in mind that rooting your phone will automatically void your warranty.
MUST READ
Before you start, please note that this root has only been tested on the SM-G610F and SM-G610M variants of the Samsung Galaxy J7 prime, so kindly check your phone's variant before proceeding.(Check the back of your device)
Required Files:
CWM & ROOT
Samsung USB Driver
ADB USB Driver
How to install CWM Recovery
After downloading the required files make sure your system has an active Samsung USB Driver or you can simply download it from here
Also don't forget to Enable USB Debugging & Unlock OEM, this can be done by going to Developer Options and make sure to have these 2 boxes checked.
Then go to Lockscreen and Security under Settings and enable Unknown Sources.
With these done we are ready to kick-off!
Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1 : Connect your phone to your computer & Allow access to your device when the MTP Connection box pops up
STEP 2 : Now go to the ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder ( you will need to extract the rar file) you just downloaded and run 1-EnterDownloadMode.bat
STEP 3 : Wait for the phone to reboot into Download Mode ( If nothing happens after running 1-EnterDownloadMode.bat then you might need to disconnect and reconnect your USB cable and Allow USB Debugging (Check Always allow from this computer) when it prompts you. With this done, your device should automatically reboot into Downloading Mode.
STEP 4 : In Downloading Mode Run Odinv3.10.7.exe (Found in ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder) and click on AP and open
SM-G610_cwm.tar from ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder
After this go to Options in Odinv3.10.7.exe and uncheck both Auto Reboot & F Reset Time and finally click on start to execute the installation of CWM recovery. Wait for it to finish (When it says 'PASS!') and after that press and hold the Volume Down, Power and Home Button together ( To get out of download Mode ) and when you see the phone gets rebooted press and hold Volume Up, Power button and Home button to boot into CWM Recovery
STEP 5 : Enjoy! You now have CWM recovery installed
Second Part: Installing SuperSU
MUST READ
Use Volume buttons and power button in CWM Recovery to navigate through and select the different options.
How to Root
STEP 1 : In CWM Recovery, go to install zip package and then select install zip from sideload.
At this point you will have to connect your device to your computer and once done run ROOT.bat from ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder and wait for it to finish.
STEP 2 : Now run 3-Reboot.bat from ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder and you should see your phone get rebooted.
STEP 3 : Enjoy! You have just rooted your phone!
If you want to flash the stock recovery just repeat the steps for installing CWM but select SM-G610F_stock_recovery.tar or
SM-G610M_stock_recovery.tar instead of SM-G610_cwm.tar
P.S You now have a voided warranty
Cheers!​

It should work i guess but i recommend you to flash the ROOT.bat since it was tested and working 100%

You're welcome
I booted into recovery and installed CWM. It passed as well. However, when I boot into recovery, I still dont get CWM recovery. I have made sure I have set OEM UNLOCK properly. Please help!!

Just repeat all the steps from the beginning and see if it works..
Btw you are supposed to boot into Downloading mode and from there flash CWM Recovery using Odin..i don't know what you have missed.
