did you clear cache, when does the error happen? etc...

Okay I'm at work so I do have all the correct zip files and Odin version, but I used Odin and automobile rar. File started Odin and it failed half way through, when I tried it a second time it seemed to get further but failed also, once I unplugged and reboot, a message said the update failed to use kies to complete the update. The kies reinstalled the rom back to factory and I lost everything. .

As far as I know the CF-Auto-Root/TWRP method still works fine in Lollipop.

If I remember correctly don't go back inro DL mode after CF Autoroot pull the battery and restart then load TWRP into Odin and install and you should be good.

Pretty much. From what I've seen, this has worked on every note edge with an unlocked bootloader on both kitkat and lollipop.

Yeah I tried three different ways and I have rooted multiple devices for years, maybe I'm missing something simple. .
On CJ's Rooted Device
Try vroot or kingroot you can find kingroot at kingroot.net you can vroot at www.mgyun.com/vroot apk there's an apk version and there's a PC version
I have just tryed rooting using vroot as suggested here with no luck, at least with the apk. SM-N915F note edge unlocked on 5.0.1 , any ideas ?
describe your process exactly
Me: ?

I am furious that this simple process has gotten hard for me. I flashed CF auto root, and it failed (as the thread said it would). I went through the steps to flash TWRP and it fails the same way THAT CF auto-root failed. I tried to use the no-download mode option on step 4 instead (like you guys suggested) and my odin just sat there. It was still on, but everything was grayed out. There was no change to my phone and it was still usable.
I rooted this phone no problem when I bought it. I just factory reset it and flashed to 5.0.1. What am I doing wrong?
I am helping a person try and retrieve photos from a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is stock at the lock screen. The finger print scan is not working and they do not know there back up password. I researched two ways to get around this.
1. Entering in the google account user name and password
2. Signing into Find My Mobile with the samsung account information and unlocking the phone
If both of these options fail due to the owner not remembering there above credentials is there any other way to retrieve photos. How about putting the phone in dfu mode and using a program on a computer to copy photos from the internal storage. Is something like this possible? Appreciate any help on this issue.
Maybe flash a stock ROM with Odin?
That way all the data stays in tact and it may remove lock screen.

Thanks for the quick response. The lady is paranoid about losing her photos! Therefore flashing with Odin Stock Rom will not remove any data from the phone. Do you have instructions or a link on how to do this.
I also am able to sign into her google account through the web browser, but when I use those credentials to try and unlock the Galaxy S6 it says that the user name or email is wrong. Thanks

Sounds like she could be learning a hard lesson. Backup passwords, knowing what accounts you used to setup, photo backups all exist for a reason.

I totally agree with your assessment! I don't understand how I can log into her Gmail account via the web and then when I enter the same information at the Galaxy S6 Unlock via Google it does not work. Could this have something to do with not being connected to the internet. It is saying that 4G LTE is connected. Doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to WiFi without unlocking home screen.
If this was my phone I would have no trouble trying to flash the Odin stock Rom, but do not want to lose her info incase someone else can retrieve it. Does flashing the Odin stock ROM wipe everything on the phone or does it retain photos and other information. Thanks
I'm in this same situation. Is there anyway to retrieve the pictures? Flashing with Odin does not wipe the phone?
Wasn't life easier when we had removable sd cards...?
Flashing the system partition does not touch the data partition.
Do you know how she managed to break the fingerprint reader, by the way?
My G920F stuck on bootloop because of fail on rooting and I was afraid of losing all my photos. First I flashed TWRP with Odin, booted to recovery mode and pulled photos and videos out with adb. Then I flashed stock firmware with Odin and made a factory reset (not mandatory). Everything is working fine now.

I suppose doing this you had USB debugging ENABLED before the boot-fail? Or does it turn on USB debug when flashing TWRP?

Agree WahFai, much simpeler with SD-card! So you think flashing system partition will do the trick. I'll go read up on that, how to flash the system partition. In my case, afaik, the fingerprint reader did not break. The system failed accepting the unlock code from one day to another and she does not remember the backup code for the reader. Thanks for your reply!
All she wants are the pictures on the phone. She recently got a baby, all the pictures of the delivery are on the phone, so you sense the urgency to not loose the pictures. She'll still feel the effects 18 years from now.
By the way: does flashing the stock rom with odin void the warranty? Because the phone is still on warranty...
Flashing a stock rom via odin will not trip knox but flashing a custom recovery will.
Thanks for clearing that out for me.

The phone is locked out, it does not show up on Kies. Actually it does show, but says its locked.
Ok, I now flashed the stock ROM again. It still comes back on the locked screen. HELP!!

At this point, it sounds like flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) is your only option.

Hey dsimpe, I am willing to try this option, since I cannot acces de mediafiles after flashing the stock ROM. Can you confirm this will trip Knox? And I installed ADB Studio. I cannot find a simple explanation on how to pull de media with adb. Can you help me please?

Check droidviews article of "How to Push and Pull Files on Android using the ADB commands".
I'm pretty sure that knox will be tripped.
Also go to my profile and check thread that I've started. I explain there how I did it.
If you've any problems post here or pm me.
I now found the instructions on how to pull files with ADB. I connected the phone to my pc and checked if the device was recognized. This was not the case. Does this mean, that the USB debugging was not enabled?
Edit: Thanks dsimpe. Saw the post too late again. Note to self: need to refresh page before making a reply... I'll go check out your posts. Thanks again.

My device wasn't recognized either before I flashed TWRP with Odin and I booted to recovery mode.
Ok, tnx dsimpe. I guess USB debugging must have been turned on before also on the phone? And can you confirm knox will be tripped?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide. This one has me stumped.
First, I have never rooted my wife's device.
The other day it rebooted randomly and would never make it past the t-mobile splash screen. I figured since it wouldn't boot I would try clearing the cache within the bootloader. That made matters worse.
Finally, I did a factory reset to try and fix the problem and now the phone is telling me that there was a problem applying an update and I must use Smart Switch.
Well, when I tried using smart switch it get right to the very end and fails saying the it is FRP locked and no custom software can be installed. I read through some threads and tried using Odin to flash the device using the latest firmware version. Same error with FRP lock. At this point my phone wont boot and I can only get to the bootloader, or to the download screen.
Any suggestions on what I should do next? My KNOX is still at 0, but my software version reads custom for some reason, even though I didn't try to flash anything.
Have you tried using Kies recovery?

Yes, gives the same error as Odin and Smart Switch.
As another note when i enter the bootloader menu it says that it is unable to mount /system so it's as though it got corrupted some how. But I can't flash stock firmware to fix it due to the FRP lock.

I did. It gets to the very end and then give me the FRP error. I could clear the FRP error if the stupid thing would boot to the OS so I could login.
Do you have tmobile ? And if so do you have insurance on it ?
Sounds like you should exchange. The only other thing to try is root the hell out of it.

Mines had a tough life, but I brought it back to life after erasing everything in recovery. New, recovery first then the operating system. Yours could be broken, but you wouldn't know till you tripped knox. Not that t-mobile seems to care.
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.

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...
I can't find much info about this phone, is it possible to root it in a similar manner to the other J7 variants?
Please someone help!
I know that most of you genius cell phone programming people have the nicest newest phones but some of us need to purchase the lower-end ones because its all we can afford. And because I can only afford this phone with its tiny little 16 gig bull stuff I really really would appreciate it tremendously if you guys could take the time out of your day to find out a way to root my device. Please someone one I'm begging you.

Chipset: Exynos 7884
CPU: 1.5GHz Octa-core
GPU: Mali G71
RAM: 2GB
Internal Storage: 16GB
(source: mobitabspecs.com)
I also found this about the Exynos 7884:
The Exynos 7884, meanwhile, has the same setup as the Exynos 7885. Two Cortex-A72 cores are accompanied by six Cortex-A53 cores, but with a lower clock speed.

Look around online I think you can use adb

I obtained an inoperable device from a friend. He tried rooting, tried flashing, even tried to flash a factory binary thinking he could circumvent Straight Talk's ridiculous bootloader unlock policy, but in the end, he pretty much bricked it. It wouldn't boot into recovery, it wouldn't boot into download mode, and it was stuck in some sort of device test mode. I was able to find out that in that factory binary mode, Odin was able to recognize the device and connect to it. I flashed the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files in Odin 3.13 I think was the version. Now it's back to stock. On the plus side, doing so removed the Google account associated with the phone. I am trying to pull the 'boot.img' file so you can patch it.

Not being able to root this thing is terrible. There are firmware files for it out on the Internet now, but I have not been able to make any progress with working on this thing.
