Hello. I have GALAXY S5 - SM-G900F Lollipop. I wanted to root it and i used Kingo. It said that root was successful i even had superSU app, but i couldn't open it and when i installed app that i know needs root access i didn't get prompted to allow it. So after some checking i concluded that root was not successful and wanted to revert it with kingo again. It said that S5 was not rooted and i couldn't root it again (was getting failed this time).
Then i wanted to do factory reset to 4.4.2 via mobile but each time i would select that option phone would just freeze. I booted into recovery TWRP that i installed previously and did hard wipe. After that i was without ROM, and installed lollipop using this tutorial (/watch?v=r_ifFnj9tbo). Everything was fine but i lost TWRP and was with stock recovery.
I wanted to root phone again using different method (/watch?v=iBNGeppOzGI) but when i installed TWRP via odin (i got success and phone rebooted as last time i installed it) and tried to boot into TWRP using button combinations phone would just load standard recovery instead. I also tried to install CWM, same results. Success message, phone reboots and it still loads stock recovery so i'm stuck now. Anyone has any idea how to install TWRP now?
Anyone got any idea, don't know what to do here. Any help appreciated.

having the same issue but on the i9505. mine was on I9505XXUEMJ5. recently updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3 without any issues. Rooted with cf auto root and installed perfectly. But after reboot, superSU was not on installed and device was not rooted (verified through titanium backup and root checker). tried installing supersu through google play but says "there is no su binary installed..."
im also having trouble with recovery (recovery is not seandroid enforced) with the dead android (red triangle icon) when booting into recovery
don't know what happened. same procedure i followed before when i upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2 and did not encounter any issues.
i would appreciate any help. thanks.
ok, after reading and trying some things i read on the forums, i managed to 'repair' and install CWM recovery on my phone.
CWM works fine when booting to recovery but after normal boot, still no root access.
tried wiping dalvik cache, fix permissions, re-flashing supersu update (v1.65) but still after normal boot supersu still says "no su binary installed".
will try a few more ideas but if anyone can help, would greatly appreciate it.
Hi everyone,
I followed the rooting instructions for the Canadian version of this phone (Using twrp) on this forum to good effect but i keep losing root access seemingly randomly. I can go 2 days or 2 weeks with no problems then all of a sudden Titanium Backup will tell me I've lost root. Besides downloading games from the play store, I haven't downloaded anything i can think of that would destroy my root. Can someone try to explain what's happening and also provide a solution?
Some related problems:
1. SuperSU says "binary not installed" when I lose root.
2. If I turn off my phone, I will inevitably be stuck in a Bootloop requiring a factory wipe and reset. Restoring and redownloading apps and backups can get pretty tedious.
3. Every time I do a factory reset using twrp, I just reboot and Im rerooted again. I do not have to flash the custom rom and SuperSU again.
I used the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63382838&postcount=2
Please and thank you
Are you using the patched kernel and the proper version of super user

Yeah this how I am rooted. Flash stock back onto your phone and start with teamwin for your recovery in Odin. Then flash the kernel and then superuser. You should be good to go
So after rooting my Samsung Galaxt S5 (SM-G900W8), I wanted to install TWRP. I did it from the TWRP Manager. It was succesfull. Then when I was in Recovery I wanted to reboot the phone. It then asked if I wanted to install SuperSU (which I already had). I pressed yes and when it rebooted, well it never booted. Im stuck in a bootloop. Any help ?
Thanks for posting this! I have the exact same problem man, the same exact thing and i couldnt figure out how to fix it. It's like we're related man... No matter what i do, bootloop. Can anyone help? it should be rather simple to fix im sure.
Tried rooting the phone again the way you did originally? CF AR or whatever you used?
Clear caches
Delete SuperSU using file explorer in TWRP
Flash stock ROM over the top of broken one
Factory reset

I found a fix, well its not really a fix. I used Samsung Kies to reset my phone. Then I tried installing the recovery again but this time when it asked me if I wanted to install SuperSU, I chose not to because I already had it installed and now it works. Thanks for the reply anyways.
Nice job, yea most guides tell you not to install SuperSU from TWRP if you already have it installed
Hi All,
I had obtained root via CF-Autoroot and was using it with xposed for the last few weeks without issues. I took the lunge and tried to install phh super su, magisk systemless root. so the nightmare begins for me and i'm hoping it's an easy fix!
My system is still encrypted (I believe because TWRP can't see the system) SD card is fine. I've wiped my device a few times already and am hoping I don't need to wipe it again(prior to this setup).... So currently it's running fine without root access (How I hate android without root!!!)
- I've tried flashing Supersu zip in TWRP and it's failed - I believe it's not supported yet for encrypted devices.
-I've tried using the original CF-Autoroot method I used initially.
Both methods, it boots up straight away (no optimising apps) and after installing supersu app from playstore, it says no binaries found.
What are some ways I can inject root without wiping my device?
Please help me! Thankyou!
Maybe go back to the start and flash original FW through Odin and start from scratch, so you have a fresh phone to work with.

That's my plan when I get home tonight. I want to flash the original firmware file my phone started with (I'm assuming it won't delete anything?) and then run through the root steps again.. if it doesn't work, I'll wipe my phone and make sure I get rid of encryption this time..

I think you will only lose stuff if you do a system reset after installing the original FW.
I only have had to do that on my tab S not my Edge after coming from a custom rom as I got slow down.
Resolved: flashed original rom and obtained root with cf-autoroot.
If someone has detailed instructions for magisk systemless root and xposed, it'd be much appreciated.. i want to have the option to use android pay or play pokemon go if i wanted. Thankyou

S7 edge I do root via the SuperSU flashable zip file via a custom recovery. Other methods don't seem to work well with S7 on nougat because the user data partition needs to be reformatted in custom recovery (TWRP usually) in advance when you want to root the phone.
You'll need to backup the phone before hand and set it up from its initial state after rooting it.

Do not use SuperSu to root S7 as its not compatible and only meant to be used on older phones. It will not work on Android 8.
