Custom recovery for Samsung galxy j5 (j500F)???

Hello guys..
I just wanted a Custom recovery CWM or TWRP for Samsung galaxy j500F
I searched a lot but couldn't find it!!
Sorry for any mistakes..
I'm a noob!!

Have you rooted your phone ?
Which app or method did you use for rooting ?

Any working root method for our Samsung Galaxy J5?

I haven't rooted it yet..
I wanted a Custom recovery to backup my rom first..
But if you want to root.. try Towelroot app, someone suggested me this app.

you need to root first to install custom room
towel root app not yet work on samsung j500 android version
5.1.1

somebody can try this root method?
Our fellow XDA member iamkilenem send me this message. "Hi you can root the J5 with odin and the CF Auto Root File For sme500h all files are in the zip file below, make sure you enable usb debugging first or it will not work
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7r...y7xahr/sj5.zip"
Somebody can try and confirm this?

hi jonny
why dont you try look for an app in the play store sim card manager lte version coz I think lte provides by network .In some region you can change the sim card for an lte version or you can ask it in your network provider.I hope that might help

the dual sim card in the play store got some lte option i think it was a paid verion i cant hardly remember

Hi @tiger411.
I would try it but there is no file behind your provided link!
Update:
Beside this, when I look on the Autoroot-Chainfire website the root-files for the SM-E500H are only for Android 4.4.4! That will not work on Andorid 5.1.1!

Hi there will be ota soon for honor 8? Where can you find out when it's going to be released ?
---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------
Also I just rooted and tried to flash the same nethunter zip that was working in 6.0 Android and 7.0 before rooting but non functional without root. But I will try again now. It looks like there is no nethunter available for nougat?

Yes I will reinstall when the firmware when the ota is released. But do you know when it's released in north America for the L04 model?
Also there is a video on YouTube I used for my rooted p8 lited that you can install nethunter without flashing the zip. I will put it in the next comment, but I only tried to flash it with this ROM. But something strange happened after I flashed it or the xpossed also. After I flashed the nethunter in the beta nougat the phone was bricked but the recovery was reset to the stock huawei one. After I use bootloader to reflash the nougat twrp I didn't wipe anything or the cache even in this whole process. But I flashed first this hw_eu zip or whatever it is, then the update zip. Then j don't wipe the cache or anything and when I start the phone it just starts again like it was just off. But it resets the recovery image again and j have to flash the root again. Idk if this is normal but j thought I'd just mention it since some people are working with this software right now.

I did it exactly like this on huawei p8 lite with android 6.0 rooted and it worked fine. Also I flashed the same zip of the android 6.0 nethunter for Nexus on this honor 8 when on 6.0 android and it worked great.
I remember I did get it to work somehow before on nougat beta for honor 8 but this was before the root method was found so it didnt do much.
I will take a look into this later in the week if there still isn't a clear explanation on here for you by then.

Thanks a lot to everybody!
I tried the vídeo and worked perfectly on honor 8 rooted.

Why, this is official firmware and is only one official way how u can install Nougat - via OTA and this a bit uncomfortable, Honor must put on his web official fw for download anytime

I dont think they will push such . We are going to close enough for the release of Android O and we still dint have a stable stock nougat rom. This is what honor is doing currently

Yes they are clever enough , but i feel they Benefit nothing for being such.

Is it possible to root my sm-930v on 6.1 marshmallow?

I rooted my galaxy s5 back in the day and just got the galaxy s7 sm-930V with 6.1 marshmallow.
Is there any way for me to root this? Also is there any way for me to upgrade to 7.0+ nougat? Ive done a few Google searches but have found no clear answer.
Thank you!

Thanks a ton! Should I root it first and then flash to 7.0 or would I need to have 7.0 and then root it? Or should I just avoid 7.0 all together?

Firmware first then root, if you do root first it'll just go away with the Odin flash.
7.0 or not is personal preference

I successfully flashed to 7.0.
That thread doesn't have a link to download the SM-G930 ENG BOOT.
I found this page, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Found the correct boot eng for my phone https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...er-samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-t3665821#post73893603

My firmware update

I have a firmware update to B389 and after downloaded it get error message
My phone is Chinese version FRD_AL00 rebranding successful to FRD_L19
What's this problem ?!!

I need answer please

It might help if you share the error message. But as a starter for 10, is it an issue that you used the firmware for a 64GB phone to rebrand your 32GB phone?
