RECOVERY GUIDE
Flash signed recovery zip - Easiest way
1. The most common way is to simply flash Phil3759's Enhanced ClockWorkMod Touch.
2. Download the .zip file and copy it to your external sdcard
3. Then, reboot into the stock recovery (power off the phone and turn it on with home button and volume+ button pressed)
4. Choose "install zip from external storage" and select the already mentioned zip
5. Reboot. This should be enough!!
This is the easiest method, thus the followings are meant to be attempted only if you had problems with the previous
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odin - If you have a computer available
1. If you have any errors try going back to the Phil Download Home and instead download the latest i9100 .tar.md5 file
2. Download Odin 1.85 and unzip the archive
3. Open the executable and add the previously downloaded .md5 into the PDA field
4. Put the phone into Download mode (power off the phone and turn it on with home button and volume- button pressed)
5. Connect it to the computer and wait till drivers installation is finished
6. Start flashing
7. (optional) If you want to remove the yellow triangle, check Chainfire's Triangle Away
Mobile Odin - When you have nothing but errors

1. Root your phone. If that doesn't work, try "Xperia Root by cubeundcube"
2. Download Dorimanx Kernel (one of the .md5 packages)
3. Open Mobile Odin and grant it root permissions
4. "Open file" and select the .md5 file
5. Follow instructions and go!

Unable to root my Samsung j5

Followed all steps to root phone.
But odin displays Fail (Auth) error. Not sure how to root my phone
Hello. I did root my phone few days ago using Odin, I can help you.
What do you need:
SuperSU ZIP File (For your Android version, to check in Settings -> About device) and copy it to phone memory
TWRP Recovery MD5 File (for Odin) (for your phone model, check in Settings -> About device)
Now steps:
1. Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options (If not unlocked, Settings -> About device -> Tap "Build Number" 7 times)
2. Open Odin and select AP (maybe PDA)
3. Find your TWRP File and select it
4. Turn off your phone, go to Download Mode (Volume Down, Home and Power buttons), click Volume Up (once)
5. Connect your device to your PC (In Download Mode you need to see Odin Mode!)
6. If in Odin you have seen "Added!" click Start
7. If Odin will fail, try again (I needed to)
8. If you have already flashed TWRP, go to it (Volume Up, Home and Power buttons)
9. Go to Wipe option and swipe to do default wipe.
10. Now click Install, select your SuperSU file.
11. Swipe to do it (Zip authentication disabled!!!!)
12. After it's done, reboot your phone again to your OS.
13. Enjoy your new root!
Optional Step: download Root Checker from Google Play and check your root.
I hope I did help you.
