can we install the cwm from cahce
if our device is rooted ?
I wanna share my knowledge here
Learning from my experience using Samsung's devices, I found similarities in the way of reversing Samsung devices to stock rom.
So this guide should be practice for almost all Samsung devices
And for mod, please make sticky for this thread, so for Samsung owner can easily find it
Ok, let's get started
First, download all these stuff
1. Samsung USB Driver or go to this Thread (install it)
2. Samsung Kies (install it)
3. Odin v.4xx or Odin v1-3 or go to this Thread (just open when need it)
4. And of course your stock rom
Download from here (choose the right stock rom and the newest depend on your model)
5. Extract the stock rom using winrar/7zip
-you should 3 files PDA_xx.tar.md5, Phone/Modem_xx.tar.md5 and CSC_xx.tar.md5 or more
-If you have just two files, .xxxx.tar.md5 & SS_DL.dll, i'll give it the guide too
Second, Go to download mode
- For smarphone : hold power button+menu button+volume down (vol -)
- For tablet : hold power button+volume down (vol -)
For the 3 Files or more
- Go to download mode
- Plug your device to PC/Laptop
- Open Odin
- Choose PDA (browse it from your extracted stock rom)
- Choose phone/modem (browse it from your extracted stock rom)
- CSC (browse it from your extracted stock rom)
- If there's more files, just put it on the same box of the files names
- Check list auto reboot and f.reset time(look at the left)
- Click start and wait
- If success, should be writen "PASS" on left side
For 2 files only
- Go to download mode
- Plug your device to PC/Laptop
- Open Odin
- Just choose PDA and browse it the file(forget about SS_DL.dll or XX.dll file)
- Check list auto reboot and f.reset time(look at the left)
- Click start and wait
- If success, should be writen "PASS" on left side
If there's something miss or wrong, please tell me, I'll fix it this ASAP
And Let's helping people

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you can't go to the download mode, you should find other custom rom fir your device and flash it through recovery,
make sure it's custom recovery, not Recovery that came from the device(Samsung)
Samsung firmware sites has been fixed
can somebody with a recovery that I can mode to run on my phone help? I am tired of using 360root.apk I want to use SuperSU and not these apps with Chinese interface
Here are the steps I followed after some extensive reading of other peoples methods and trying every possible app that would not work:
How to install TWRP and root the Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini (SM-J105F)
The device is powered by a Spreadtrum chipsets and Android 5.1.1
Basically what you need to do to root your Samsung, is to install/flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, which other than the limited functions of the OEM recovery, has all the features you need to flash a custom rom. You then boot into this TWRP recovery and use the touch menu to install/flash the SuperSu xx.zip file to give you root. It seems that other methods to root do not work on this specific phone.
Here is an Odin3 flashable *.tar md5 TWRP file that will also make it possible to root your Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J105F, unfortunately it has to be paid for. Find it here: http://www.saroms.co.za/product/samsung-galaxy-j1-mini-j105f-root-file/ - and follow the bellow steps to flash the TWRP custom recovery and after rooting your J105F Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini.
Note: Odin3 only flashes with xxxx.tar or xxxx.tar.md5 files. TWRP can also flash xxxx.zip files.
To get into Odin mode or Download mode on the phone, switch off phone and unplug any cable to your PC or charger. Now hold in the Home button, the lower part of the volume button (V-) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot into a recovery screen and if you push the top part of the volume button (V+) you will switch to the Download screen. Only now can you plug your phone into the PC and run Odin3
Once TWRP recovery has been loaded, do the following to boot into TWRP recovery: Disconnect any cables to charger or PC. Switch off the phone. Now hold in the Home button, the upper part of the volume button (V+) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot showing the Teamwin screen and then the menu buttons which work from the touchscreen.
If you do not want to pay for the correct TWRP recovery for your specific device, then use Google to search for the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar
1. Download the following files:
(i) OEM Samsung firmware for your phone in case you have to fall back and reinstall the firmware i.e.
XFV-J105FXXU0AQA3-20170329071250.zip
(ii) TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar or any other custom TWRP recovery file for your model phone.
(iii) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
2. Go to Settings > About device > Software Info > and tap on Build number a few times until you are a developer.
3. You should now see and tap on 'Developer options' if you go back to Settings.
4. In Developer options. turn on 'OEM Unlock' by moving the slider to the right, Enable. Never set that setting to off once you have loaded a custom firmware or TWRP custom recovery! You phone will brick and only show *“Custom binary blocked by FRP lock” after the next reboot!! (FRP = Factory Reset Protection)
* If so install OEM firmware with Odin3 and start again.
5. Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip file to the root of your internal storage SD card (not external). This will be installed by using TWRP recovery. Use your PC to do this.
6. Turn the device off and boot into "Download Mode” (V- and Home and Power ... and then V+)
7. Run the Odin3 application on your PC and load the recovery *.md5 file under 'AP' or load the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar.
8. Connect the MS-J105f to your PC and let Odin3 connect and ID:COM will go blue and show i.e. 0 : (COM4) > then click Start.
9. The SM-J105F will power on when done. Disconnect cable and power it off again.
10. Boot into recovery (V+ and Home and Power) will now boot into TWRP.
11. You will now see the TWRP menu touch screen.
12. Tap Install > scroll to the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip" file you downloaded and copied to the phone memory tap it.
13. Swipe at the bottom slider to confirm install.
14. Tap Reboot to system when done and you should be rooted.
15. Install and run SuperSU from the app store and run.
16. Install and run Root Checker Basic.
To reinstall the OEM firmware, download the proper xxxx.zip from the Samsung website.
You must the extract the xxx.tar.MD5 file from the download
If you can get into the Download screen on your SM-J105F then use Odin3 as above, just under PA select the OEM file xxxx.tar.MD5 (it takes a short while to select properly as it a very large 2 gb file after extracting)
Hope this helps someone else. Thanks to all whose posts and contributions helped me.
Warning !
Please note that the official TWRP for Nougat on Galaxy S7/ S7 Edge is not available yet but based on my experience the Marshmallow version is working on Nougat. By installing a custom recovery on your S7 and S7 Edge and rooting it, you’ll void the warranty. I have tested the procedure on my Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935FD) successfully but still, you are warned to proceed unless you understand what you’re going to do. The procedure might soft-brick your device but you can easily recover it by following the guide on my post before. Please note that Samsung Pay won’t work once your Galaxy S7 is rooted.
Preparation :
1. Download the latest Odin flash tool.
2. If you own the Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F/FD), download this TWRP image: twrp-3.1.0-0-herolte.img.tar
3. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F/FD) users should download this file: twrp-3.1.0-0-hero2lte.img.tar
4. Download the latest TWRP flashable SuperSU and the latest no-verity-opt-encrypt and put that in your sdCard.
6. Make sure you have Samsung USB Drivers installed on your computer.
7. Go to Settings> About device> Software info and tap Build number 7 times to enable Developer options. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT !
8. Go back once, now you can find the developer options at the very end of the scroll, open it and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
9. Do not forget to backup your phone’s data first
Guide :
1. Extract the downloaded Odin zip file to your desktop and copy the twrp-3.1.0-0-hero2lte.img.tar file to there but do not extract the tar files.
2. Now turn off your Galaxy S7 Edge then press and hold the Volume Down + Home + Power keys at the same time until your phone booted into the Download mode. Then release the keys as soon as you see a blue screen with warning sign and press the Volume Up key.
3. When your phone gets into the Download mode, open the Odin folder and launch the Odin flash tool.
4. Now connect your Galaxy S7 Edge to your computer using a USB connector(MTP Cable).
5. The ID:COM port on Odin will be written "0:[COM]" once your device is detected.
6. Click the AP button in Odin and add the twrp-3.1.0-0-hero2lte.img.tar file to it.
7. Then Click the Options tab in Odin and un-tick Auto-Reboot.
8. Now click the Start button to trigger TWRP installation.
9. When TWRP is successfully installed at the ID:COM will be written "PASS!" message. Now you can disconnect the MTP cable.
10. Now press and hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons at the same time until your phones turn blank then swap to Volume Up + Home + Power key and hold as soon as the screen goes blank. Hold those 3 keys until you get into TWRP Recovery.
11. At this point, you will reach the screen asking if you want to allow system modifications. Swipe the swipable area.
12. Now tap Backup, tick System, Boot, and Data then choose sdCard. Then sit back for a while as the TWRP backing ur files up. The estimated time depends on your file's size.
13. After its done press back button again and again until you came to the very first interface of TWRP that you can interact with.
14. Tap the Install button in TWRP, click the Select Storage button and choose sdCard then locate your no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and select it. Swipe the confirmation slider when prompted. (Note: In case you see the red text error in TWRP saying unable to mount storage, go to the main menu in TWRP and select Wipe> Format Data. After that, press back button then do this step again)
15. When it’s restarted, press again the Volume Down + Home + Power again to enter the TWRP.
16. Tap the Install button in TWRP, click the Select Storage button and choose sdCard then locate SuperSU.zip and select it. Swipe the confirmation slider when prompted
17. After its done tap the Reboot System button.
18. Now you can sit back and relax. It will take quite much time to set up for the first time. No need to be panic while you see the samsung logo keep blinking. Btw if u see the samsung rebooted twice, its okay, it should happen.
Enjoy
Just a suggestion. May be rather easy if included video. You can create your own or link to other sources. thank you

Which is why you should have an external sdCard with bigger memories than the internal storage..and back up it there...the message happened to me several times then I realize my sdCard filled about half of the free pace..and also u cannot put the BU files at internal storage..after u do that try to format data and clear the dalvik cache then these steps again

Its totally ok:laugh:
Is it really possible in this way?
install twrp -> backup system, data etc. -> format data and install no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip -> restore the backup -> flash supersu
And everything will work just like before?
Because i deleted all my data on my last phone and then restored it very complicated
With a twrp backup it would be much faster

hello,,, my phone shows a red screen when I try to open the recovery... it did not work... I would like to know how to remove it or install the correct recovery
@OP, it seems the link for S7 Edge are pointing to S7 link instead of https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/ which is available.
3. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F/FD) users should download this file: twrp-3.1.0-0-hero2lte.img.tar
Thanks for the guide, very useful.
Another note, on my S7 Edge, flashing HOME CSC gave me a 'enter password to start device', but had no password. Flashed CSC alone and everything went ok on reboot
How to root my Samsung S7 edge with no pc
As one of the previous threads in this section mentioned the same (that On5 Pro firmwares work on non-Pro On5 models also), I can confirm that it works on Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550FY (2015 non-Pro) model. The downloaded firmware was a latest On5-Pro Nougat version that I could find on https://updato.com but works with old non-Pro On5 model as well.
This post is "only" meant to chalk out the complete process.
Detailed instructions for people who've not rooted their Samsung devices before:
Steps to replicate the process:
Preparation for rooting first:
Make sure your phone battery is charged to 70% or more
Backup your device data
Make sure you install Samsung's Android USB Driver for Windows on your PC, if you haven’t already. >> Official link
Download the latest .tar image of TWRP for Galaxy On5 (it is compatible) >> Official link
Download and Unzip the latest version of Odin version >> Official link
Download the latest Super SU >> Official link
Now follow the instructions:
First you should enabled Developer options. If Developers Option is hidden, go to Settings > About Phone > Built Number (tap on it for 5-8 times)
Enabled USB Debugging and OEM unlock.
Install Android USB Drivers on your PC.
Connect the phone to you PC using the USB cable and copy the SuperSU.zip file into any directory of your internal storage.
Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Boot the device into Download Mode as follows: press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together.
When a warning triangle appears on screen, press Volume Up button to enter Download Mode.
Launch Odin.exe by click right and run as administrator on computer.
Connect your phone to the computer. Odin will automatically detect your phone and show the “added" message.
In Odin, tap AP button and find the TWRP Recovery file you downloaded earlier and select it.
Uncheck Auto-reboot in the options tab in Odin
Click Start in Odin.
Once the root installation is done, your phone will reboot and soon a PASS message with a green background appears in the left-most box at the very top of Odin.
Remove the battery and then re-insert it again.
Boot into “recovery mode”, by pressing and hold Volume Up + Home +Power buttons simultaneously
In the TWRP mode Swipe to Allow Modification
Tap ‘Install’
Select Storage and scroll to location of SuperSU.zip file.
Select the .zip file and swipe the bar to confirm. This will start flashing the .zip file.
Once the flashing finished you will see the ‘Reboot System’ option, click it to reboot your device.
After reboot, if the SuperSU App exist on your Application Menu on your smartphone it means you’ve successfully rooted your device.
Can take further help from here (works for this On5 model as well) >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...nt/updated-root-instructions-samsung-t3747435
