Hello everyone, finally t shirt weather in Toronto as of today. Im here to ask for assisstance and I'd like to learn how to root and install a good custom Ron that is efficient,
I hear cynmod is good.
I'd also like to learn how to change the device id on this phone which is a
samsung galaxy s5 g900w8 5.1.1 (Canadian model).
Side note; Im newb so the more detail the better Thanks
3 files needed. recovery, modded kernel and su beta. The better rom is completely subjective a lot of roms and different with both good and bad behaviors. You choose.

Also a noob with a SM-G900W8
Also am a noob, tried a few links. got stuck in bootloops.
What is a guaranteed root method so i dont have to flash stock or format again?
Same model as what he asked about.
Could u supply step by step directions please?
Either flash this with ODIN
http://download.chainfire.eu/406/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kltecan-kltevl-smg900w8.zip
Or if that causes a bootloop,
Copy SuperSU to your Micro SDcard / Phone storage
flash TWRP with ODIN, but uncheck "Auto Reboot" first
When it finishes flashing, pull the battery to power off the phone
Replace battery
Boot immediately into recovery and flash SuperSU
Reboot to rooted Android
I already tried flashing that one and it caused bootloops or frozen at bootup.
Where can i download the TWRP that youre suggesting to flash?
And where can i find a confirmed download for SuperSU?

I already linked you to TWRP, get 3.0.0.0 .tar version, do not unzip, add it to the AP or PDA section of ODIN
Copy this SuperSU to your card or phone first
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
ok sorry. thanks!
Copy SuperSU to phone or sdcard
Open ODIN and uncheck "Auto reboot"
Add TWRP to AP or PDA
Put phone in download mode
Flash TWRP
Pull battery to power off
Replace battery
Boot immediately into recovery (Volume Up & Home & Power)
Flash SuperSU
If asked, say NO to flashing root superSU again before exit
Reboot into android
K i did those steps EXACTLY. and its in bootloop now.
Downloaded the 3.0 tar file, downloaded the 2.46 SuperSU
unchecked reboot in odin, then flashed twrp. once it finished i pulled battery. booted into recovery to twrp setup. selected install. selected supersu, installed. said complete. restarted phone. bootloop
When booting into recovery says ontop not seandroid. warranty: kernel or something like that.
if you are like me you already realized that running odin again to install, CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f.zip won't do anything.
1) put SuperSu zip file somewhere on your phone (https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip)
2) you will need to reinstall twrp-3.0.2-1-herolte.img.tar via odin AP but don't auto reboot (https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/twrp-3.0.2-1-herolte.img.tar.html)
3) manual reboot and IMMEDIATELY go into recovery by holding down the magically combination. if you missed it then you will have to do step 2 again.
4) once in recovery install supersu zip from step 1 and you will get root back
should work for s7 edge (935) too but you will need to use the correct files
hope that help
nice thread, but can i flash a recovery via recovery?, because my usb port wont work :\
nwm found it!
i tried, but still cannot get root back.

OP has missed one step.
You have to flash boot.img from official samsung firmware through TWRP(if you have TWRP installed) or you can install through odin. Make sure that your build number matches with firmware file. You have to do this before you are going to reinstall TWRP. After flashing boot.img file you will stuck in bootloop don't get panic. Flash supersu along with encryption disabled file attached in link. Then boot into android. You would definitely see supersu along with superuser script installed. No you have root access. Cheers

Get from sammobile.com
U can download any samsung firmware from there. You will have to just search your device name to show the relevant builds. Makes sure that your build number (on your phone settings-->About-->build number ) is same as the file you are going to install

Use Odin to flash back to stock rom and check the forum for the correct method to root your model, usually this involves flashing a custom recovery and the supersu.zip

thats exactly what it is suposed to do. when you root it should go recovery to do its magic. let it go and will restart back into normal mode.

Depends on the root method, I've never been forced into recovery over root.
Also I find with the g531h that I've got to pull the battery and restart over booting issues after root, installing supersu via zip in recovery didn't change that.
Reflashing to a stock firmware, flashing twrp and rooting using a flashable supersu.zip is the cleanest method, but it doesn't "force" you into recovery after a reboot, that would imply there's a problem?

@u0aol ... dude ... he never stated the root process used. the most commom is chainfire's cf-auto-root (link below)
download.chainfire.eu/665/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-fortuna3g-fortuna3gxx-smg530h.zip
if so, the behaviour he observed is indeed expected.
[RECOVERY][ROOT] N910T/T3 6.0.1 PE3 - How to Root (Systemless & System Mode) / TWRP
This is really simple but I'm guessing people are still wondering.
Download TWRP
Download SuperSU 2.76 Systemless (for Stock Kernels) or Download SuperSU 2.76 SystemMode (Permissive Kernel Required)
*Optional* Download a Permissive Kernel like BeastMode (only needed for System Mode SuperSu)
Download Odin
Put the SuperSU on your SD Card / Internal Storage
*Optional* Put Custom Kernel on SD Card (Optional, Only required if using SuperSu SystemMode)
Reboot into Download Mode
Flash TWRP in Odin
Boot into TWRP
Flash SuperSU
Enjoy!
For details on how to flash with Odin, flash with TWRP please see other threads or use Google.
Additional Downloads:
-N910T PE3 Stock Recovery
Additional Info:
NetFlix:
Some users have reported that NetFlix would not connect after rooting. There is no need to do this if you do not have any problems with NetFlix.
-Delete /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so and reboot.

Thanks of course to Chainfire & Teamwin
Also Thanks to freeza.
Cool. Thanks. it's same for all other mm roms too.
Is this Systemless root?
So if we already have a rooted device with TWRP installed, and assuming we already were able to flash 6.0.1 to the device, then the only step required is:
Download SuperSU
Flash SuperSU via TWRP
Is that right?

Your prior rooted device needs to be rerooted. Download SuperSu to phone. Download TWRP to computer. Odin TWRP. Once TWRP is flashed, boot to TWRP and install Supersu [at least that's what I did.]
But since I already have TWRP installed as recovery, do I need to re-install it via Odin?
Unless flashing 6.0.1 overwrites the recovery?
Otherwise just flashing SuperSU should re-root.

Odin flashing MM will overwrite your recovery.

Question, have rooted and jail broke many but not this 910T yet. I am on non-root 5.1.1, should I take the OTA 6.0.1 and then follow the above instructions or download 6.0.1 from samsung and install via Odin and then start following these instructions? Would perfer to take over the air so I dont have to reset up everything.
Thanks in advance and I cant fn wait to start using Adfree again!
I downloaded via Kies. Didn't have to setup a thing after.

Agreed.
Anybody know if editing the platform.xml still works for SD card writing? And with the update I am getting the stupid -504 error in google play store trying to install Titanium backup......I might have to reflash ugh.

I fixed my issue

They will.
Man I hope not. We did a lot of *****in! Looks like HTC is gonna do the next nexus and should be on par with the N7 but I really don't want to do that. There is no way any phone can compare with the same phone rooted and custom. We will see.
Any ideas, stock non rooted 5.1 updated via OTA to 6.0.1, flashed latest TWRP 3.2.0 successfully (USB Deb enabled, R/L disabled) and still boots into stock recovery? What am I doing wrong?

Found a work around from another post:
'm trying to install TWRP, but it keeps getting overwritten. After installing, I can initially boot into TWRP, but after doing a system reboot, it goes back to stock recovery. What am I doing wrong?
Here's the steps I take:
Open Odin, check AP and load twrp image (3.0.0)
Connect phone and wait for Added!
Uncheck Auto Reboot
Click Start and wait to finish.
I then have to take out the battery to turn the phone off (I had to do it this way because leaving Auto Reboot checked would cause the same issue as below). I then boot directly into recovery and TWRP loads as expected. Everything looks fine, and I can do a recovery reboot back to TWRP. However, if I do a system reboot and let Android load, then shutdown and boot into recovery again, I'm back to stock.

Perhaps try wiping everything...
System, Data, Internal Storage.
Then flash the Odin MM tar.
Then start the process in the thread.
I personally did the process after a SmartSwitch update and it worked from just doing what I listed in the OP.

I would suggest that you flash 3.0.2.2 recovery image via fastboot. Remember to reboot to recovery after you flash it for the recovery to stick.
