3.copy odin file to your pc in desktop and extract it
4.copy supersu file to your internal memory, be sure to memorize where you put the file
5.open odin.exe file in desktop, go to option, untick auto reboot,and leave everything else.
6.from your phone go to developer options, (to go there click build number many times) now find oem unlocking and enable it .. (Just to be sure remove google account and screen lock to avoid frp lock)
7.power off your phone and go to download mode(to go there,hold power button,volume down button,and home button simultaneously, and press volume up to enter dl mode)

11.this is important step.... Now click all the button of your phone, as soon as it gets out to download mode quickly unpress volume down leaving only power,home,volume up button
12 keep pressing those 3 buttons until you will see red message in upper left but just ignore it and keep pressing the button
13 and now twrp will be open and it will say allow modification? Be sure supersu file is already stored in your phone storage to apply patch
Now swipe right to allow
14. Now go to the box saying install and find your supersu file and select and install it(swipe right to install)
15.Super su file will be installed and patch will be applied and after it is done, click reboot system..

root zte v6 plus?

Anyone know if there is root for ZTE Blade v6 Plus, thank you.

same here tried with several rooting apps still nothing
I get something
First activate the debbug usb and the bootloader, get a custom recovery (twrp for ZTE blade v7 lite), and flash with sp flash tool, activate the usb debbug and bootloader, then having the beta supersu install it since twrp. The files you use are the same as the ZTE BLADE V7 Lite as they have the same SOC MT6735 and andriod 6.0 ... look for them in google
I regret to say that the operation is successful but the device continues with the same stock recovery.
Try it and tell me if it works for you.

I already did root zte blade v6 plus, the process is very simple only the most recent spflash tool is needed, that you have MTK drivers well installed, I have recovery and supersu v2.78. At first I put the stock recovery but I would flash it but just change pc and I went back to do the process and it worked.
I do not know, can I link here? Or how can I help you?

On some devices the root can not be installed, because they have blocked the flash but I am seeing how to modify this and so share it with you.
1.- activate usb debugging
2.-put the supersu file in the root of sd or internal memory
2.- install mtk DRIVERS on your pc
4.-Unzip the rar file on your desktop
3.-open spflashtool and select scatter-loading, load the file MT6735P_Android_scatter.txt
4.-turn off your device, and do not connect ...
5.-In spflashtool press the DOWNLOAD button, then connect your device and do not disconnect until a green thing appears ..
6.-When the green thing appears, disconnect the cable and press the UP VOLUME button + POWER button, you will see in the lower left a few letters that you say Recovery Mode, you have to appear the TWRP recovery, if you have the stock Recovery means that your device has write protection, but if it appears you proceed to install the supersu that is very easy you can check some video on YouTube how to install it using the TWRP.
Nota,: how do i pass the files???

Still Im facing same issue
Which recovery are you using ? The one from Nick Verse won't work with the secure bootloader of the latest Mashmallow updates , when I tried i could not boot into recovery using that one ...
The one from this thread is working perfectly for me at the moment :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960
Try the twrp made by ganesh varma.
1-in odin Untick Auto reboot option.
2-After flushing twrp by Odin, remove the battery and insert it again .
3- press volume up+ home+power button to go to twrt.
4- install supersu.zip
I had this issue on j5h but after doing that i could root my phone.
Thanks Guys for your help..

Hmm.. nowadays some of the Marshmallow version are coming with locked bootloader.. may be because of that u are getting error.
In such case you need to flash each and every version of marshmallow Firmware and check whether it supports flashing twrp or not from the below link. If you are able to flash twrp or certain frimware, that means its bootloader is not locked.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-J500FN/
or simply try this firmware from below link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/113125/J500FNXXU1BPK3_J500FNOXA1BPK3_PHE/
Dont forget to make ''on'' oem unlock and usb debugging from developer option.
This is perfect root tutorial in few minutes and everyone says it works
Ok so I think it's because it's a bug I put lollipop on and now it's all done their must be something wrong unless I have to flash marhmellow first ☺

(Potential) Root for Samsung J330L (Korean variant)

This is a guide to an untested yet possible method of rooting the Samsung J330L
So far I have been able to install Clockwork mod successfully and wanted to share my findings.
(links at the end of page)
NOTE: I take no credit for creating/editing the files listed below
*IF you follow this guide you may void your warranty*
*I am not responsible or liable for any damages while following or attempting to follow this guide*
The Korean variant of the J3 is relatively easy to install CWM.
You first must install, as with any Samsung device, Odin.
You should be able to download the latest Odin from there web page below
Secondly you need a 2017 firmware set for the j330L both to do the installation and to flash if anything goes wrong.
After installing Odin and extracting the .tar files you will need to put you phone in download mode by pressing and holding the home vol- and power keys
when you get a blue screen hit vol+. You should be in download mode.
Connect your phone to your computer and open Odin. You will need to install the BL AP CP and CSC files. (For the CSC file use the HOME file)
reboot and boot back into download mode
Flash the recovery.tar in the AP slot.
Reboot to recovery by holding down Home power and vol+
----Past this point i have had no success flashing magisk or super SU so I am currently working on flashing a ROM for root(causes boot loop)
---------------------------------------------Suggestions and help is welcome----------------------------------------------------------------

CWM is dead.
Your device should be able to rooted using TWRP or use Magisk manager to root the boot image.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-twrp-3-1-1-1-samsung-galaxy-j3-t3709056
True but at the time of posting TWRP causes boot loop. I haven't tried the TWRP version that you posted tho. I will give it a shot.
Ok After much testing i have successfully rooted the damn thing with the twrp installation above and the latest Super User but installing magisk or installing a custom rom now causes bootloop. This damned phone is irritating AF but root does work.... now i need to find out how remove my kernel so i can base a rom off it
