[HELP] Issues with Root - SM-G900I - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, my new Galaxy S5 G900I won't root using Odin. I've tried repeatedly. Using the CF Auto Root Method and the install Custom Recovery first then flash superuser method and both methods have the same outcome.
This is the how it comes up on Odin:

I can't seem to find the problem
any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmmmm, you have installed all the drivers right?
does adb devices return anything?

I have all the drivers installed, the Samsung USB Driver and I haven't tried adb because I used Odin to root my S4 before on the same computer but the S5 won't work.

I've been having exactly the same problem....

I FOUND A FIX AND IT WAS SO SIMPLE :laugh::laugh:
For anyone else having this annoying problem theres a simple fix.
1. Goto settings
2. Settings > Security
3. Ensure that "REACTIVATION LOCK" is UNCHECKED
4. Try to root again using Odin and hopefully it works for you :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Need help with rooting Galaxy Note 3 N900W8

I need help with rooting my Galaxy Note 3. I've never rooted a phone before so I am new to this. I've read some of the posts and understand a bit, but they're all confusing as there are quiet a few posts out there on how to root. I'd like to get some help on which correct tools and stuff I would need to download to help me root my phone. Preferably I would like to stick to stock ROM, or a custom ROM closest to stock without the Samsung bloatware. My phone model is the SM-N900W8, running on KitKat 4.4.2, with a baseband version of N900W8VLUCNB7, and Kernal 3.4.0-859721.

If I were to use Towelroot would I be able to factory rest my phone and it'll still be rooted? Also do I need to do anything else after using Towelroot?
-update- using Towelroot did not work for me

Thanks I've read the other post too. I wouldn't have any to do anything after flashing the file through Odin right? Also would I be able to factory reset my phone no problem and keep my root?

Nothing to do.
You can do factory reset no problem but you might loose root, but just repeat the process in case you do loose root. Be warned though, although quite a lot of people rooted their N900W8 without tripping root, can't exactly say it will be the same for everybody, it might trip it.

If you intend to stay on stock firmware and not flash a rom, then you don't need one. But if you flash a rom made for a N9005, then you will need a kernel made for N900W8/Tmobile in order to make NFC, BT and Wifi work ( also need a patch for the said sensors/signal ).

I guess I will stick with stock as everything still seems too confusing for me to understand. The root you gave me, I notice it says sm9005 instead of sm900w8, it wouldn't change my network frequency would it?

It will not change anything except root your phone. I know it says it's for N9005 but quite a lot of people even with different phone models have tried it and it worked and that's including me who has a N900W8 from Rogers.

Cm 12/12.1 on Samsung Galaxy tab e 9.6 sm-t560nu

Does anyone know how to flash custom recovery and flash cm12 on tab e? I don't know how to do so and am new to Samsung. I rooted and installed a custom rom on my HTC one mini so I have some experience. Anyone know how? Thanks in advance.
Root is still not available as of yet. Unlocking the bootloader might be impossible, but eventually someone might take the time to "safestrap" this tablet.
I'm just hoping for root at this point, safestrap is just a glorified theme that will slow everything down.

I just bought one of these over the holidays and have also been looking for a way to root. I spent an entire day fiddling around, and was able to get root using kingroot...as long as I didn't reboot. Once I did, it soft bricked it and I had to oden back to the latest (5.1.1) firmware. I ended up rooting with kingroot, stripping out all the bloatware, de-rooted with kingroot and going with that for now. No Xposed, sd boost or adblock (I did find a few ham-fisted workarounds), and now when I boot I get told that it is running a non standard kernal, but it does start. In another thread, someone claimed that they got it working using kingroot and it stuck thru reboots, but I haven't gotten it to work just yet.

Guys this tutorial helped me root & install TWRP recovery i can confirm its 100% working https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCJ60mgdk0g
Rooting this one is really easy. You have to go into Build Info... tap it like 7 times get your developer options on. Then you have to check two boxes. 1 is OEM unlock and that's very important make sure that it is on an unlocked and then to cut on USB debugging. Then you need to go to CF auto root 3.10.1 and flash TWRP... have a zip file of Superuser on your SD card or internal storage then when you cut TWRP on flash superuser.zip and it will automatically root your device.

Hi all
I used c.f. auto root it was fine for about an hour. I granted root to afwall and after some time it stoped working. Any root checker tells me my device is not rooted. What's wrong?

Or you can ignore all the answers and just install TWRP recovery by @Nick Verse and flash supersu.zip from official website.

Yeah but if you choose the right file you will get an opportunity. If you flash supersu official zip 2.7x it will patch some files in phone and will hide one annoying line on boot. (KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING)
So why you just not try it and reply then with what you think about that

Well, i don't disagree you with the thing that it will root the device but you should know/mention that CF Auto Root is responsible for these FRP-Locked phones. And this is a known problem.

There are multiple threads right here in the forums that offer step to step instructions for rooting your model of grand prime. Use the search function and you'll find them.
Root is similar to having administrator rights on your computer, it allows deeper levels of modification than is available on an unrooted device. There are apps available that will allow you to transfer your apps to SD card also, however most, if not all require root.

You will have to unroot your device before updating, you may then be unable to root again for some time until a new method is found.
However there are custom ROMs available for you device amongst other things.

Well, if you have TWRP you can just flash SuperSU flashable zip[ a guaranteed successful root with a very easy way plus if you have phone with marshmallow and above kingroot won't able to root because of new anti-root protection added so normal/kingroot won't work]
The best way to root G530H is flashing this by odin. Link here. http://d-h.st/oqFc. After flashing it flash any recovery by odin.
