Recovery and root are separate things.
You can flash recovery without root.
Just a heads-up.

SM-T230NT Philz recovery is now up, Thanks E

If you have a later kernel version which resists towel root you should be good to flash chainfire's supersu update zip via recovery.

I will do!

I followed the instructions and used the files T530_NH7_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5 and T530_ROOT_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5.
But I have no recovery, which is working well.
I used the recovery.tar, which you can find here:

I also found this recovery, but I can't copy it with ODIN. I tried the "twrp2840-190114_matissewifi" IMG, ZIP and TAR, but I always got an ODIN-error.
There is also an openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-matissewifi.img linked in this post.
Should I try this img or which one have you used?
Have you used Odin for flashing the recovery file?

Yeah its show like that because your phone is already root. So you cant update...

Make sure ur on KitKat base. Then flash the cwm file from Odin. Untick auto reboot from Odin. After flashing remove battery and place it again. Then go in recovery mode directly via vol+ +power +menu. Then flash the suopersu file and reboot. Then open suppersu app and disable Knox. Then again flash supper su from recovery. None other methods will work in kk for rooting.

Samsung Galaxy A500-FU, 6.0.1 root is possible?

Hi, i want to root my phone after i got the 6.0.1 android there is any way to do it? i searched in the threats but i only find for 5.0 android?
I've heard something about 'systemless root' by Chainfire. But haven't tried it yet. Here is a link:
http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/
If anyone has any luck with rooting Galaxy A5(2015) running on 6.0.1, please let us know.

Can you answer these questions:
Is your boot loader unlocked now?
Do you want a stock version of 5 or an after market version. If you have an unlocked boot loader do you want CyanogenMod 12 or a variation of it?
Why did you root your phone?

i flushed G900VVRU2BPB1 because i got the impression that it will be possible to root it with cf-auto-root
so now bootloader is locked again.
i do want stock version
i need to test specific app on s5 Lollipop

If you want to go back to stock, go here..... https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...rmware-pit-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-t3757416 and download whatever version you want and flash it with Odin per the instructions on that page.

You can root any ROM with TWRP & Magisk. You just need an unlocked boot loader to get started with.
If you don't want to or can't unlock your boot loader go here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...oot-method-t3561529/post71147687#post71147687
