Did anyone use this method to root a Samsung Galaxy J5?
Any known issues?
I know that Kingo Root had some limitation and was working on < Android 5.0.1
Do i have to set the OAM unlock in the developer options?
Thanks for any advice

Kingo root works perfectly but not without risks and you must set the OAM unlock and USB debugging, personally I find CF Auto Root more easy.
I tried all non work, they say device is not supported

My advice to you is to go to chainfire site download the CF auto root specified to your phone and flash it with Odin.

I tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy J5 SM-J500FN with Odin v3.11.1 and the corresponding Auto-Root file from chainfire.
After installation & reboot there is no homescreen (black image instead). I get messages that many services stopped working (i can confirm them with ok). It's possible to swipe down the menu bar & enter the settings menu. Nothing else outside the settings menu is possible....
i had no trouble installing TWRP with oding and installing SU from zip.

Did anyne tried to root Grand 2 G7102 with TowelROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157)?
BEST APP EVER . Rooted my galaxy grand 2 (sm g7102) easily.
But the supersu cannot be installed
When I install it it says to update binary through recovery or normal installation which does not work but some root requiring apps seem to work such as busy box.
Strange.
@faisal
download supersu in chainfire website They said that supersu in google playstore is outdated

Download the SuperSU app, you can find it in the Play market.
It functions well without the need to restart or recovery mode.
And there is a full unroot option in its settings.
Works grate, but only with SuperSU from the site

Hello everybody,
recently I updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) to Android Lollipop 5.0, After that I downloaded CF Auto Root and it looked like it rooted perfectly, it rebooted in the screen with the red android pirate thingy and after that it rebooted my device with SuperSU installed on it. Then I started downloading some root apps to see if it worked. Root Checker said my device was rooted and then I downloaded GameCIH, it asked for root access and I granted the root access but when it was done loading it says: System Deny to Root. I searched the internet and found out that GameCIH doesn't work on Honeycomb or above, so i tried downloading SB Game Killer or Game Guardian, but both asked for root access but crashed after a couple of seconds so i tried re-rooting but when i opened SuperSU it sayed: There is no SU Binary installed, and SU can't install one. This is a problem! If you just switched to Android 5.0, then you need to re-root your device manually.
Can anyone help me with this problem, because I dont know what to do?
You use the latest ODIN to flash CF-ROOT ?
3.10.6 is latest iirc

Hello Detection,
Yes i used ODIN v3.07
That's not the latest version
Have you got busybox installed. Some apps need busybox. Install it from playstore and install busybox.

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've just updated my android from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 using a firmware from sammobile and lost the root I had previously (super user).
I tried installing from cf-root using the version they already have for 5.0.2 and at first it seemed to have worked, since it started to show my phone device's status as custom, and also to show kernel's status at the black start screen with the logo samsung.
Then, I tried changing an app into a system file using Link2SD and the app vanished instead of working again. When I get to install the .apk again, it shows as an update (of something that is not running anywhere) and don't ask any new permission.
I guess the problem is because of the root I used, but I'm not sure. My mobile is dual sim (brazil's trend...) and the app I'm trying to hide is Cerberus (I have the pro version, disguised, but want to make it "blended" as it was before the Android update).
I did the unroot with the SU app, but my device is still showing as a "custom" one at the system's about (the kernel's status is not appearing at initialization tho).
I want to know what to do to fix that and how to properly root the new android marshmallow. If not possible, I even consider downgrading my phone to the previous android until the root is available (security from thieves first, unfortunately!).
Same Here
Doen anyone know if there is other variant rom we can use in a500M
Wait for CF-AutoRoot
Some A5 variants have received the root file for Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

I use the 5.0.2 root version in marshmallow and it's working fine for me with xposed and everything else

Not the A500M, yet.
Option 1: Flash CTR o TWRP with Odin. Then, flash SuperSU.zip from recovery.
Option 2: Flash CF-AutoRoot (Lollipop version) with Odin.
PS: If you want more options antitheft, you can use Xposed and GravityBox or Advanced Power Menu modules to disable the Power-Off menu when the screen is locked.
Good Luck
So I can use your "Option 1" to root my device with 6.0.1 even if it's a 5.0.2 method? (I just want to make sure to not brick my phone).

Hi! One way is to use custom recovery to root your Galaxy J5. To root with custom recovery you will need a computer running Windows OS (didn't work with Linux distros using Wine) and download Odin from samsungodin.com. Then you will need a TWRP-recovery, the link is here:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j53gxx/twrp-3.1.1-1-j53gxx.img.tar.html
In Odin, click on the AP button and select your downloaded recovery file, boot your phone to download mode (Pwr+VolumeDown+Home), connect your phone with computer and start the installation process. It will usually take less than five seconds.
Once you installed the recovery, you will be able to easily root your phone. I recommend SuperSU as your SuperUser app. The link to official SuperSU is below:
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
Boot into recovery (Pwr+VolumeUp+Home) and install SuperSU and that's it, your phone should now be rooted. If you consider any problems, feel free to ask for more help!
Regards,
Patrik.
