My friend overseas recently got the new Galaxy A5 (SM-A5100) from China and asked me for some help rooting her device and installing the google play store.
Unfortunately I've never used any Android devices before so this is a whole "first timer" situation and would gladly like some help in understanding the best and least risky process for rooting this device.
This is more or less what I know at this point after hours of searching online:
1) CF-Auto-Root is probably the easiest tool for someone with no experience rooting.
2) Unfortunately a CF-Auto-Root for this model has not been made yet.
3) The boot and recover images from the firmware are required to make the CF-Auto-Root.
I think I found the version of the firmware from samsung-firmware.org and have extracted the image files. Hopefully this source is credible. I'll upload the files later using mega if that's fine?
[NOTE: so apparently I can't post links yet since this is my first post, welp. Will update later or try to PM it instead if that works.]
Here's the information that I have from my friend's device:
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016)
Model#: SM-A5100
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: A5100ZCU1AOL5
Kernel version: 3.10.49-6418683 (Mon Dec 14 18:59:12 KST 2015)
Build#: LMY47X.A5100ZCU1AOL5
And here's the information about the firmware I have according to the download page mentioned earlier:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy A5
Model: SM-A5100
PDA Version: A5100ZCU1AOL5
CSC Version: A5100CHC1AOL5
PHONE Version: A5100ZCU1AOL5
Region: CHC
Country: China (Open China)
Build Date: 14.12.2015
Changelist: 6418683
OS: Lollipop
OS Version: 5.1.1
Is there any other information I need to get to request the CF-Auto-Root and how/where might I find it? Or am I completely going about this the wrong way?
Thanks in advance!
You can try the kingroot app. http://www.kingroot.net/wap
You can indeed try kingroot, just tried it without luck..
Any luck? I just got my A5 (2016) and I desperately need to root!

CF Root does not support SM-A5100 as of the moment same with King Root. However if your sole purpose of rooting the device is to install Google services on it , then there is no need.
A5 2016 has many version and varies depending on the country it is being released . The SM-A5100 phone kit is the A5 2016 version release for Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR.
Since your friend purchased the phone from Mainland China, the Phone will be configured without Google in it as Google Services are not allowed at that Country. The good thing is that you don't need to root the Phone in order to install Google Services . All you need to do is download a Stock Samsung Firmware for SM-A5100 that is configured for HKG.
Take note, you need to flash the stock Firmware configured for HKG and not for Mainland China. I can see from your post that you have downloaded the Firmware for Mainland China?
These are the things you need :
1. Stock Firmware for SM-A5100 configured for HKG SAR
2. Samsung USB Drivers
3. ODIN Flash Tool
I assume that you already know how to flash a Samsung devise using the ODIN Flash tool , if not here are the basis steps
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin
Extract Odin ZIP file
Run Odin
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect the phone and wait Odin detects it.
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA , insure re-partition option is NOT ticked
Click the start button and wait for the process to finish .
This should work as I have gone thru the same process .
All the best

I'm not responsible for you doing something wrong...
Make sure you download the correct stuff...
Warranty WILL void during flashing (samsung KNOX will get triggered :/ )
Needed:
1. Download odin on pc
2. Get the latest twrp recovery (or cwm) for that specific device
3. Download the universal root package down below (this package can be used for any device and will install supersu itself...)
Process:
1. Copy the supersu update zip package to your phone's storage
2. Enter download/odin mode
3. Startup odin and connect your phone to your pc (I recommend using the original usb cable you got with the device ?)
4. You should see a text in the odin log saying "added"
5. Add the twrp package in the AP slot in odin
6. Go to options in odin and deselect auto reboot
7. Hit start
8. It should start and on your phone you should see downloading
9. When done immediately reboot your phone into recovery (or your phone will delete twrp and replace it with the original again... thanks samsung ?)
10. Click install and search for the supersu package (INSTALL IT) (DON'T LET TWRP ROOT YOUR DEVICE)
11. After installing reboot system and you are done

Please I have a Samsung A5 2016 with Chinese mainland firmware but with Android 6.0.1 Will this method still work?? ?

Hi
I have an galaxy s4 (GT-I9505) from Australia, its not locked but it has Vodafone apps installed. I want to install the official 4.4.2 firmware from another country seeing as im still on 4.3 here. now i have found a site and was wanting to use the Philippines – Open Line firmware. but im new to flashing so my question is after i install the firmware will everything work like WiFi,4G and Vodafone AU network.
If someone could help it would be appreciated and im sorry if theses are stupid questions like i said im new to all this.
Easy, you can flash whichever country firmware , as long as you got your model correctly.
Everything on your phone, as you mentioned Wi-Fi, 4G and network will remain same.
But you may wanna do some backup first, clean flash always recommended in order to prevent any possible problems.
But one more thing you must be aware of, is that if you choose to flash, you will lose your warranty as well!
im not to worried about the warranty but. theres are the steps the guide says to take
Tutorial
Step 1: Download the firmware package (Philippines – Globe, Philippines – Sun Cellular, Philippines – Open Line, Philippines – Smart and Malaysia) and extract the zip file.
Step 2: Download Odin v3.09, and extract the zip file.
Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.
Step 3: Restart the Galaxy S4 and put it in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons.
Step 4: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer via the USB cable and wait until a blue sign appears in Odin.
Step 5: Click on the AP button in Odin and select the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in Step 1.
Step 6: In Odin, ensure that the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are checked, and not the re-partition check box.
Step 7: Click on the Start button in Odin to begin the installation process.
Step 8: After the installation is complete, the device will restart automatically.
Step 9: Once you get the Samsung logo on the home screen, you can unplug the device from the computer and close Odin.
That is all you have to do. The Galaxy S4 LTE should now be running on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat XXUFNBE.
I Have downloaded Philippines – Open Line firmware and the guide is for the GT-I9505. would this work for me and how to i do a clean install
ok so i finally decided to flash the firmware and everything went great now im on 4.4.2. now im looking to root so i can install the S5 Weather apks, can someone show me an easy guide to root 4.4.2 on the GT-I9505 also is it easy to remove it
Hey guys,
I know about the built in custom flash counter, not too concerned but I wanted to update my i9506 to the latest KK releases which are starting to roll out now.
I have installed a custom recovery, rooted the stock ROM and stripped out a lot of the stock apps with Titanium Backup. I tried to OTA but obviously it wouldn't let me because "modified software".
How would I go about returning the phone to a completely stock state; bootloader, recovery, ROM, everything so I can receive OTA's in the future/or flash the latest ROM using software? I don't mind about losing root or any of my customization and probably won't do the custom recoveries in the future (there's not much dev for the i9506 variant). I'm guessing at the very least I'll need to find an entire stock ROM firmware online and flash with Odin or similar?
Can anyone point me to a guide or where to get the stock firmware? Is there a way using the official software (just plug the phone in and let it fix itself) or would it be pretty complicated?
Thanks heaps guys.
I forgot to add; I got the phone from Vodafone in Australia. I'm currently downloading this from sammobile:

It will be finished when I wake up.
Would the instructions on sammobile be the only thing I need to do:
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

To return this phone to stock to install OTA updates? If I installed the French Orange 4.4.2 would the phone work at all (curiosity)?
Thanks again guys.
Anyone? I just want to be sure I don't get stuck in an irreversible boot loop.
Well I took the plunge and followed the instructions, for anyone wondering (or discovering this thread later) here's what happened:
The process completed, the device rebooted and... everything was exactly how it was, seemingly nothing happened, however:
Root was gone
Apps which I had deleted with Titanium were still missing
Going to update in settings didn't give me an error regarding modified software, it just stated there were no updates available.
UPDATE 1: I have now gone through settings and did a "factory reset", the phone is rebooting now.
UPDATE 2: The phone has rebooted and I entered all of my information. All of the bloat is back, and everything appears normal.
UPDATE 3: I booted into recovery (home, power and vol+up) and it came up with the stock recovery, there's no sign of CWM.
It's a pretty straight forward process, now to wait for Vodafone to push the update (or maybe to try another countries when it gets released, hmm)
Hi,
Firstly, phone details are below. Let me know if you need any more.
Phone: Galaxy S4 I9505
Carrier: EE (Unsure if locked, don't know how to check this?)
Country: UK
Current Recovery: Samsung Stock
Current OS: 4.4.2 KitKat
Baseband: I9505XXUGNI2
I have some questions about flashing TWRP and Lollipop to my Galaxy S4.
If I flash TWRP recovery to my phone, am I able to revert back to Samsung stock recovery? Could you please provide some evidence such as a link to a guide?
Next; I have been having some random rebooting problems since I did a firmware upgrade. (This was only a small update, possibly from the carrier? The android version has not changed).
I was hoping to resolve this by installing Lollipop as I would also like the latest features. When I attempt an update through OTA or Kies, it says my phone is up to date. Would I be able to flash Lollipop to my phone even though I (think) the phone is locked to EE and when I check for updates it says that their are none.
I have included a description of the ROM I intend to flash. It can be found on Sam Mobile but I cant yet post links! Note that it doesn't specifically say it supports EE.
Model GT-I9505
Model name GALAXY S4 LTE
Country United Kingdom
Version Android 5.0.1
Changelist 3996895
Build date Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:44:46 +0000
Product code BTU
PDA I9505XXUHOB7
CSC I9505BTUHOB4
Also, when I flashed KitKat to the phone, the wifi wouldn't turn on and I had to flash something extra to make it work. Any advice on this if it happens again?
Hope you can help, thanks!

1. You are wrong in one thing. You can find all the info for your device: HERE. Your device didn't update to Lollipop coz you are using the latest firmware. You can follow the next steps for fix the wifi of your device.
2. Backup your internal data to your pc.
3. Download the latest firmware: HERE.
4. Unzip it and flash it via ODIN unticking "autoreboot". Take out the battery when the process finish. Pull in again and boot your device in STOCK RECOVERY -> Wipe data/Factory reset and wipe cache partition then.
5. Reboot normally and, in theory, you have to have wifi. Dial *#1234# and add one screenshot if not.

I am not wrong. As stated, Samsung has provided and deployed Lollipop 5.0.1 across the UK on the Galaxy S4 I9505. EE however, has not sent out the update to their customers. My question is that would I be able to flash the Samsung stock firmware (for unlocked phones) on my EE device without issues?
I do not currently have a WiFi problem. I resolved it a year ago after I flashed 4.4.2 to the phone. I simply can't recall how I solved it and would like some advise in case it happened again.
