I remember on my old Verizon Note 2 I could just download busybox drivers and stuff and then hook it in the PC and just run ghetto root and it rooted it automatically with no hassle, and now I'm seeing bootloading and ODIN stuff and I'm pretty much a noob at this stuff, so is there an easier method that roots automatically or I don't have to do much?
Sorry :l
Easiest method I know of would be to flash TWRP via Odin and then flash supersu from TWRP.
yes...
1. Download TWRP for Note 3(your model) from twrp.me
2. Download supersu for Note 3 and copy to Phone/SD card. (both TWRP and Supersu have XDA threads as well)
3. Download and install Samsung drivers in PC.
4. Download and open ODIN in PC.
5. Follow "Odin Flash" instructions (connect Phone and get into Download mode using key combo) from TWRP download page and install via ODIN.
6. After installing, Power Off phone and get into Recovery (by key combo) and flash Supersu.
7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
8. Power up.
It looks big but just a 10 mins work
Why Flash twrp? If only root needed. Wouldn't it be easier just to flash supersu in odin?
Odin doesn't work for all models and ROMs of the Note 3.

Guys today I came here with a simplified rooting method for titan running marshmallow 6.0 that doesn't need boot.img modification
Note -You need to have bootloader unlocked and custom recovery like twrp installed on your device before proceeding
Unlock bootloader here
Flash the custom recovery of your choice using auto flash script included in separate attachment
1) Download and rename recovery file as recovery.img and put into the folder of auto flash script.
2) Reboot your device into bootloader mode and connect to PC using USB cable [You shold have latest motorola device manager installed and your device should indicate usb connected on bootloader screen]
3) Now open 'auto flash recovery script' folder and run auto_flash_recovery.bat file
4) Now custom recovery is installed on your device
Steps for rooting-
1. Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip and place it in root of your internal sd card (other supersu version does not work on titan running official marshmallow)
2. flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip using twrp recovery
3. wipe delvick cache and cache (optional)
4. reboot device
5. If you want to use stable super su version i.e. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip or any version like any supersu beta except BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3. download and flash it over BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 after rooting.
6. If you have previously rooted your MM running device using SuperSu-v2.52 with modified boot.img, You need to flash stock boot.img first and reboot then follow this guide (step 1-5)
#BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 will do all required modification by its own script automatically.
Note- Dnt flash any other supersu version or SuperSU-v2.65 alone on unrooted device. you will get bootloop. Do a backup of your rom before any rooting operation.
In case if u stuck on bootloop flash this update UnSu script via twrp, wipe delvick and cache and reboot. this script will remove any supersu file installed in your device thus fully unrooting ur device that will recover you from bootloop
Thank you! It's working!
Perfect, It's working!
Working,great

Where can we get the stock boot.img for Marshmallow?
If u r running stock mm, then ur boot.img is also stock.
i think it's not necessary to root again if i already rooted with modified boot image does that make any difference

Failed Root with XT1064 6.0
Everything ran smoothly installing the zip from TWRP, but on reboot: no SuperSU; no root. Now warnings or errors came up in the TWRP text during root.
MotoG 2014 XT1064
System: 24.41.34 titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US retus
Kernel version 3.4.42-gef77327
TWRP-3.0.0-0-titan
Installed zip: BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip
Device is unlocked. Status Code 3
Update to 6.0 was with OTA after flashing the stock rom using XT1064_TITAN_RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.12_cid9_CFC.xml.
The phone was previously 5.0.2 Rooted.
I did not lock the bootloader during the process.
The OTA to 6.0 went smoothly.
Followed the above instructions to the letter....
The only thing odd I did was uninstall the SuperSU App on the phone before flashing TWRP and starting this Root operation.
Has anyone gotten this to work on XT1064? Or any other root method on stock 6.0 and XT1064

Root Moto G2 running on Official 6.0 Android Marshmallow Without (modified boot image)
https://youtu.be/9_9vkJvzWcU
Every time i remove system apps it boot loop any work around for this in marshmallow.. In lollipop removing system apps can normally booted up without any problem..
I successfully rooted my stock marshmallow on XT1068. I had softbricked it previously by using a newer version os SuperSu (I hadn't located this post yet, so I didn't recover from it with you script. I reflashed stock).
So, many many thanks.
In the end, my successful steps were
- flashboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-titan.img
- reboot into recovery
- install BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip from TWRP
- wipe dalvik & cache
- reboot device

Work thanks
i Tried this on Xt1072 Moto G 2nd Gen 2014 LTE and had to use the UnSu first as per the instructions and for the reasons described in red. I was also stuck in bootloader with that horrible message that says your bootloader is now unlocked! Now the issue is I seem to be stuck on the Motorola hand stitched by peter crawley boot screen? I saw someone aske dhow long this lasts? I had to use an OTG usb flash drive to get my files on to the damn phone for some strange reason phone and pc having massive communication issues, not playing very nicely with each other????? wtf? anyway I got okays and successful messages when in TWRP 2.8.5.0 I just dont understand why there seems to be such a huge problem with getting this f"£$%^&*g phone sorted.
Nexus 5 rooted and flashed with the beautiful elemental x kernel, why cant we get elementalx for moto g? its absolute genius! now someone tel me what the hell is going on here, when will I ever have success with this damn phone? I hate bloat and it only has 8GB plus the sd card which is configured as internal storage, could this be what the problem is?
I recently updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 on my galaxy s5 sm-g900s device. But i cant seem to get root working. Everytime I odin flash cf auto root, the red andriod logo would appear but the supersu app would not. After that, i flash cwm recovery and then flash supersu file through the recovery mode. I then atempt to reenable supersu through the settings but it would say that it cannot ennable/instal supersu and go restart the phone and try again. But this time is says something lile "cannot install or update binary."
I tried this 4 times alrdy and each time before flashing root, i would flash stock firmware to make sure my device is clean.
Usb debugging and allow download from unkown source is on.
I also tried sphinx root but it put my phone into a bootloop
Try this here
Thank me later...

Hi,
I want to go from 4.4.2 stock unrooted device to the official CM12.1 ROM. However, I am not sure what I need to do/have and the order in which I should proceed in order to make the process safe and optimal. I think that if someone more knowledgeable writes a simple guide here on in a separate thread on this topic it will be immensely helpful to the community.
Thanks in advance!
You only have to follow three guides:
1. Root your device
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash CM
Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Twrp manager app
3. Cm12.1
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. After rooting install twrp recovery by twrp manager app.
3. Then boot your phone into recovery mode and click on "install" then choose cm12.1
You don't need a pc for this... GOOD LUCK
Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Flashify (from the play store)
3. Twrp manager app
4. Cm12.1
5. Open Gapps (ones you prefer, I use mini)
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. Install Flashify & make a backup of stock kernel & recovery.
3. Install twrp recovery. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). THEN USE IT TO MAKE COMPLETE COSTUME BACKUP! Check every single partition to make a backup of (you may consider for the size reasons skipping the data partition, that is one containing apps you installed). Transfer this backup to a PC or other safe storage & take a good care of it because when ever you screw up things this one will allowe you to get back to stock. Also do the same with Flashify Kernel & stock recovery backups.
4. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). If not already there. Do the wipe! Install CyanogenMod 12.1 (I strongly recommend last official build) & after that install Gapps.
You are done with installing.
Lett it boot for a first time (which takes some time), do a initial required setup & after that go to options about the phone & tap on revision number until you enable developer options, then go into developer options & enable root access (to regain it) for apps & ADB.
& there you go. I leave future installing & adjusting what ever you want to your preferred choice.
How to flash official CM 12.1
1. Download ODIN v3.07 or higher.
2. Download TWRP Recovery (Tar.md5)
3. Download Auto root file for S3 Neo (Tar.md5)
4. Download Official CM 12.1.
6. PUT cm12.1 zip file to your internal or external memory.
5. Root from ODIN.
6. Flash Recovery for ODIN.
7. Get into recovery by pressing vol up+lock button
8. Clear data, install Zip file.
9. Restart your device.
10. Done :good:

How to Root Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016), Install TWRP, Custom Rom & Xposed Framework on Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J710F/FN/GN/MN/K)
Disclaimer
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for any bricked devices.
Preparation for ROOTING J7 (2016) :
Enable USB Debugging on your J7 (2016)
This is very important thing to be done before you try flashing a firmware or recovery file. USB Debugging mode make Android devices receptive to download and send data over USB cable connection. If you do not know how to turn debugging mode ON, do this :
In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
You will see a message that “Developer mode has been enabled” on your device.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options : Tap it and go to USB debugging option and check the box to enable it.
In the ‘Developer Option’ you will also find the ‘OEM Unlocking’ option, just enable it. (You need to enable OEM unlock, Otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on)
Install Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows to your Laptop/PC, Then connect your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) with USB cable. It will configure driver automatically.
How to ROOT Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1.] Download Odin, TWRP Recovery, Custom Kernel & SuperSU file to your Laptop/PC.
2.] Turn off your phone, Go to download mode (by pressing Volume down+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 6-8 seconds).
3.] Press the Volume up button to continue.
4.] Open the ODIN file and run you downloaded on your Laptop/PC.
5.] Connect your phone to your Laptop/PC through orignal USB cable.
6.] When ODIN detects your phone, It will show added in the Log.
7.] In ODIN click on AP and then select the official twrp recovery file (TWRP-3.0.2-1-j7xelte.img.tar. under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, Now exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable, you can pull the battery then place the battery back in.
Known Issues :- Samsung encryption is not supported yet in TWRP 3.0.2.0
8.] This step is alternative not necessary (If you want to disabled dm-verity & encryption, another words if you want to mount Internal Storage in TWRP, So do it) :
Go to download mode again and Open ODIN click on AP and the select Stock based custom kernel (SM-J710F-Kernel-6.0.1-nodmv.tar) under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, Now exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable, you can pull the battery then place the battery back in again.
Note 1 :- As per my experiences, it is recommended to flash the Kernel, then recovery and then "FORMAT DATA" (not only wipe) to disable encryption. Otherwise, TWRP will not be able to mount /data.
Note 2 :- If you want to keep encryption (are you official lover), simply flash official twrp recovery and then flash SuperSU package via TWRP, The result would be that TWRP is mount External SD card and OTG so don't worry and flash only official TWRP. (Follow all steps for rooting your J7 2016 by official method, ONLY skip step no. 8 and 11).
9.] If the flashing succeeds, ODIN will show 'PASS'. That means the recovery flashed successfully. It will boot into recovery.
10.] Swipe to Allow Modifications. Click on Reboot.
11.] This step is alternative (If you followed step no. 8, so then do it) :
Swipe to Allow Modifications. Click on Reboot. Go to Wipe > Format Data > "yes" ...Ok Click on Reboot.
12.] Copy and place downloaded SuperSU v2.78 zip file to your Internal OR External SD card.
13.] Turn off your phone, Reboot to recovery (by pressing Volume up+Home+Power buttons).
14.] The recovery will start. Select 'install zip'.
15.] Go to and select SuperSU v2.78 zip which you downloaded. Swipe to Confirm Flash. Flashing process will start. Once Completed. Wipe Cache/dalvik, Click on Reboot.
16.] After it finishes, go back and reboot your phone.

Install Custom ROM :
Comming SOON...
Install Xposed Framework on J7 (2016) :
Most Android users mainly root their devices only to install Xposed Framework. Xposed Framework is a powerful tool that enables you to modify your ROM as you wish using some tweaks. Xposed Framework can be installed not only on Custom ROMS but also on the Stock ROMS. So using Xposed you can add some tweaks to your Stock ROM or firmware and get the features of a custom ROM.
Official build of Xposed framework for Marshmallow Samsung Galaxy Devices has not been released yet, since Samsung made a lot of changes to ART (Android Runtime) without providing the sources. So we have the unofficial build now and we need to flash the Framework (SDK.zip) rather than just installing the Apk like in other versions of android so as Jelly Bean and Kitkat (Where the Xposed installer apk file would install the framework on your system automatically.
Preparation for Install Xposed :
Make a nandroid backup using TWRP (in case if anything goes wrong) before installing Xposed Framework.
With the Nandroid backup (which is an excellent feature on custom recoveries like TWRP) you can backup all your current state of your operating system on your device and save it in your SD card or on your Computer storage and restore it at anytime you want. Many people will have perplexity that, If their Stock ROM (Firmware/OS) is rooted would it be able to do a backup of their OS and can able to restore it?. Yes you can do backup of the current state of your firmware with the custom recoveries like TWRP no matter your OS is rooted and made changes by using root.
Steps to to install the Xposed Framework for Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1. Install Xposed Installer App (Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4)
2. Download & copy the Xposed file and the Xposed Uninstaller to your Internal or SDcard
3. Go to TWRP select Install and navigate to Xposed file "xposed-vxx-sdk23-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-xxxxxxxx.zip" Make sure you select the storage as Micro SDcard in the above when you navigate to find the Xposed Framework file to flash (install through TWRP).
4. Reboot It takes a little time to boot up as it want to update our Android System.
Enjoy the Xposed framework on your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
How to use Xposed Installer :
1. Go to Xposed installer app on your phone and select Download.
2. Download and install the different modules you want to tweak your phone. After downloading a modules please don't open the app untill you enable it on Xposed framework by going to Module section on xposed installer app and selecting it on the check box there. Then retstart your phone to use the module you have installed.
All the Xposed modules listed on the download section won't work for Samsung Marshmallow Stock based Roms. Please refer the the screen shot above to see the Modules that I use on Xposed framework.

No you don't need to enable USB debugging it has nothing to do with anything outside the system OS. No affect on download mode nor recovery whatsoever. It can be useful for debugging late boot issues though if you ever run into them later on.
As an alternative to flashing the kernel tar in Odin, users can also format their data (or just use an sdcard) in twrp then extract the boot.img from the tar and copy it to twrp using MTP, then flash the boot.img using flash image feature in the install page.
(Used normally when users distribute kernels as .img not .tar)
If users don't want to root or change their kernel, they can flash no-verity-opt-encrypt zip in twrp to just disable the integrity checks broken by swiping to enable modifications in twrp.
Also if you don't have an sdcard but want to keep your data encrypted you can use the cache partition to store small files!
adb push filename /cache/
They can be flashed from there.

Note 2 :- If you want to keep encryption, simply flash official twrp recovery and then flash SuperSU package via TWRP (Follow these steps for rooting your J7 by official method, step no. 1-7, 9-10 and 12-16. And skip step no. 8 and 11).
9.] If the flashing succeeds, ODIN will show 'PASS'. That means the recovery flashed successfully. It will boot into recovery.
10.] Swipe to Allow Modifications. Click on Reboot.
11.] This step is alternative ( If you followed step no. 8, so do it ) :
Swipe to Allow Modifications. Click on Reboot. Go to Wipe > Format Data > "yes" ...Ok Click on Reboot.
12.] Copy and place downloaded SuperSU v2.78 zip file to your Internal OR External SD card.
13.] Turn off your phone, Reboot to recovery (by pressing Volume up+Home+Power buttons).
14.] The recovery will start. Select 'install zip'.
15.] Go to and select SuperSU v2.78 zip which you downloaded. Swipe to Confirm Flash. Flashing process will start. Once Completed. Wipe Cache/dalvik, Click on Reboot.
16.] After it finishes, go back and reboot your phone.

Install Custom ROM :
Comming SOON...
Install Xposed Framework on J7 (2016) :
Most Android users mainly root their devices only to install Xposed Framework. Xposed Framework is a powerful tool that enables you to modify your ROM as you wish using some tweaks. Xposed Framework can be installed not only on Custom ROMS but also on the Stock ROMS. So using Xposed you can add some tweaks to your Stock ROM or firmware and get the features of a custom ROM.
Official build of Xposed framework for Marshmallow Samsung Galaxy Devices has not been released yet, since Samsung made a lot of changes to ART (Android Runtime) without providing the sources. So we have the unofficial build now and we need to flash the Framework (SDK.zip) rather than just installing the Apk like in other versions of android so as Jelly Bean and Kitkat (Where the Xposed installer apk file would install the framework on your system automatically.
Preparation for Install Xposed :
Make a nandroid backup using TWRP (in case if anything goes wrong) before installing Xposed Framework.
With the Nandroid backup (which is an excellent feature on custom recoveries like TWRP) you can backup all your current state of your operating system on your device and save it in your SD card or on your Computer storage and restore it at anytime you want. Many people will have perplexity that, If their Stock ROM (Firmware/OS) is rooted would it be able to do a backup of their OS and can able to restore it?. Yes you can do backup of the current state of your firmware with the custom recoveries like TWRP no matter your OS is rooted and made changes by using root.
Steps to to install the Xposed Framework for Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1. Install Xposed Installer App (Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4)
2. Download & copy the Xposed file and the Xposed Uninstaller to your Internal or SDcard
3. Go to TWRP select Install and navigate to Xposed file "xposed-vxx-sdk23-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-xxxxxxxx.zip" Make sure you select the storage as Micro SDcard in the above when you navigate to find the Xposed Framework file to flash (install through TWRP).
4. Reboot It takes a little time to boot up as it want to update our Android System.
Enjoy the Xposed framework on your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
How to use Xposed Installer :
1. Go to Xposed installer app on your phone and select Download.
2. Download and install the different modules you want to tweak your phone. After downloading a modules please don't open the app untill you enable it on Xposed framework by going to Module section on xposed installer app and selecting it on the check box there. Then retstart your phone to use the module you have installed.
All the Xposed modules listed on the download section won't work for Samsung Marshmallow Stock based Roms. Please refer the the screen shot above to see the Modules that I use on Xposed framework.

No you don't need to enable USB debugging it has nothing to do with anything outside the system OS. No affect on download mode nor recovery whatsoever. It can be useful for debugging late boot issues though if you ever run into them later on.
As an alternative to flashing the kernel tar in Odin, users can also format their data (or just use an sdcard) in twrp then extract the boot.img from the tar and copy it to twrp using MTP, then flash the boot.img using flash image feature in the install page.
(Used normally when users distribute kernels as .img not .tar)
If users don't want to root or change their kernel, they can flash no-verity-opt-encrypt zip in twrp to just disable the integrity checks broken by swiping to enable modifications in twrp.
Also if you don't have an sdcard but want to keep your data encrypted you can use the cache partition to store small files!
adb push filename /cache/
They can be flashed from there.

Now, i'm using J710FXXU1API3-J710FOLB1APE2 ROM on my J7 2016 and i tried decrypt kernel of previous ROM but wifi did not work. Do you have new kernel for J710FXXU1API3 ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I saw your problem, Lagging and wifi errors is comming because of modified kernel is outdated and its need to some modification to fix it but unfortunately this work has been stopped. So now do not use it.
Don't have to worry anymore because official TWRP is released, this recovery External storage and OTG mounted so now don.t need Modified kernel at the last use only official TWRP Recovery. :good:
