I managed root access , and successfully used root . But it stoped working for some unknown reason after 1/1.30hour of root ...Anyone willing to take risk can try it. & share if something better happens . I mean if can manage root access permanently .
What I did was
- upgraded to lollipop 5.0 (WOEA) using Odin 3.10
- flashed twrp 2.8.6.0 via Odin . ( this version is not working but it kills the stock recovery )
- then flashed twrp 2.8.5.0 via Odin . ( this version works on 4.4.2 & on 5.0 also . but stock recovery replaces it during the first boot as a result it is not usable . but I killed stock recovery by flashing twrp 2.8.6.0 . In this case it worked . & I was able to boot into twrp recovery )
- Installed updated SuperSU v2.46 zip via twrp 2.8.6.0
After doing those there was super user app in the app drawer & root checker also confirmed root access.
But as I said before , root access stopped working properly after a while...
Edit : CF-auto root for SC-04f VNF9 firmware is working on WOEA firmware . I recenty flashed it . Though Xmod is not working but other root apps (like titanium backup , greenify etc. ) are working nice .

The steps I took at the first time was bit risky . :silly: And root was working good till I rebooted the device & performed a factory reset. After that root wasn't working properly.
Now I am using root access again . Root checker showing root access & using Greenify , Titanium backup etc. This time I rooted using CF-auto root for SC-04f VNF9 firmware. Instructions are on the website below....
CF-auto root page: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
XDA Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
Though this method is for SC04FOMU1VNF9 firmware (android 4.4.2) But it is working on SC04FOMU1WOEA firmware (android 5.0)
I also used factory reset option twice after rooting using CF-auto root. Still using root & haven't found any problems.
I haven't made this , so can't guaranty anything. Try at your own risk. But I think there won't be any problem if you follow the instructions properly.
little problem, different outcome
Hey Sunbir Ahammed,
Thanks for sharing your trial and errors. I'm in the same boat you were in. I had a very small instance of root success, then for some reason or other I lost it. My first attempt was with CF-auto root using Oden 3.10. It worked for a very short amount of time (Root Checker did verify). Gave it one restart and haven't been able to get root since. I even went back and tried your original TWRP methods. No dice.
SuperSu is installed after CF-auto root, but isn't usable since the root wasn't successful.
I have a feeling it is related to the stock recovery but not sure. I'm new to the root game and could use some pointers. Any ideas?
Here's the details on the device:
Galaxy S5 (SC-04F)
carrier: NTT Docomo
android 5.0 Lollipop

Hello friend,
Well, there is good news. Finally CF Auto Root has been released for a new firmware version.
CF Auto Root now supports SC04FOMU1WOJ1 firmware (the latest one available at both Samsung Kies and sammobile.com)
Here is the link for the latest firmware
And here the CF auto Root link
After upgrading the latest firmware using OTA or Samsung Kies or Odin you just need to flash the CF auto root file using Odin
Here is the detail instruction from CF auto root's website
and here is the XDA thread on CF auto root.
I have flash it just now. And will update if any common issue is found while using.
Hope this helps. :angel:

Hello Friends,
I just updated to 4.4.2 with Odin
then flashed CF Auto root with Odin
The result is: "There is no binary installed and SuperSU can not install it. This is a problem...".
I flashed TWRP already, but I have no idea how to update/install the binary in order to get proper root access
Can somebody help me please?

Get philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot (install su binary) option in it
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I solved the problem.
I figured out that I used an older version of CF Auto Root which (I guess) contained an older version of SuperSU. I assume that this version had an outdated binary.
Downloaded CF Auto Root again, flashed it with Odin and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help, guys!
I purchased a note 3 model : N900 I have rooted the device with Kingo and now wish to install CWMR. I entered into download mode to install the recovery img file and was greeted with Chinese symbols! Anyway to chance this?
1. Kingo root is the worst root you can ever use.
2. Flash stock ROM via Odin. (It wipe kingo root and residues after kingo..)
3. Root again. (CF-auto-root or Use Philz touch recovery and flash superSU.zip)

Thanks for your advice, sadly after reading and reading I have seen more posts regarding this issue. The kingo software says your can click the unroot button but is malware still present on the device after the root removal? Also I can not flash stock rom via odin as I already stated its in bloody Chinese.

"There is no binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

Download SuperSU via this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip and flash it with your custom recovery.
I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 SM J500FN. I just install the last update Android 6.0.1 and now I'm trying to root in but I cannot find any rooting tool I tried kingroot,kingoroot but none of them could root my phone
For now I don't know about a way to root without Pc.
You can look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/tutorial-upgrade-j5-2015-to-6-0-t3443904
a downgrade solution. Maybe Kingroot is able to root it afterwards.
When unsuccessful you will at least be able to flash twrp via Odin and flash SuperSu zip(Google for it).
Look here:

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy j5 on 6.0.1 and I rooted it using the same one as I did for rooting on 5.1.1
Download CF auto root for your model and flash it via odin

Yes.. Rooting with supersu.zip via TWRP is the easiest method to root any lollipop or marshmallow phone :fingers-crossed:
Phone is a SM-N910R4 US Cellular. Was rooted by Odin then unrooted by King root. Now unable to root using Odin and current non root is unrecognized and unable to update system. Any ideas on how I can either get system updated and/or rooted again ? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thx in advance !
try with Smart switch,it will recognized your phone ,and tell you if you have or not have update for your phone.
I also have problem with root and dm-verify verification failed in recovery ,so I couldn't update my phone OTA ,but I was having update OTA,I was downloading and trying to install it and every time its failed until I didn't install SMART SWITCH,and easily update phone to latest firmware.
which method of rooting your phone you trying to root?
I was having problem with magisk,and every time I failed to root,so I use superSu , superSu cf auto root.
for rooting phone:
I was first install through Odin TWRP for my model
then download superSu-v2.82-201705271822.zip
put that file on my SD card and download to TWRP recovery
then flash that file through install in recovery
and you have rooted phone.
works for me so perfectly that i dont have one problem with rooting.
the second way:
its also through Odin
download Cf-auto root and flash it through Odin
than you can easily download from play store Official TWRP app and install recovery.
for me,this is the best and easy way of rooting phones.
