[Q] Rooted SM G900I lollipop 5.0, need some wisdom.

Finally got the courage to have another go after nearly bricking my near new phone. Root checker confirmed access granted
Rooted with odin 3.10 and CF auto
SM G900I
Android: 5.0 lollipop
SuperSu 2.45
Baseband: G900IDVU1BOD2
Build: LRX21T.G900IDVU1BOET1
As i dont know much about anything can someone give me some advice. The main reason i rooted was for control over app permissions and privacy and i like the idea of customising stuff. Also im not too keen on rooting my phone every time it wants to update. Any advice on what to research and where to start learning
Edit: can anyone recommend a privacy app/s , I want to use xprivacy but not sure how to proceed installing xposed . Im gonna wait till there is an easy straight forward solution, is there anything else that will block permissions etc is comprehensive and easy to install?
Thanks

How to root Samsung galaxy A5

I have Samsung galaxy A5, SM-A500H. Running Android 5.0.2, downloaded from here. I want to root it.
The only root available right now AFAIK, is CF-Auto-Root, as described here for example. But this root breaks everything, all the apps stop running when you reboot the phone and you have reinstall the firmware, it doesn't work.
Is there another way to root my device?

the method you suggest, is great, i always wanted to know how that's done but can't do it, since it will require me to reflash the phone and reinstall the rom
This answer is for future users
first if you want to upgrade to 5.02
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-A500H/
I use the unknown carrier but you could pick any. just create an account there first.
and to root it, the only safe way, all other ways, it will break it, so again the only safe way to root that thing

didn't work before, now is working, download the apk, root it, takes 5 min, restart your phone, have a nice day

G901F - root stock 5.0.2 - CF-Auto-Root

Hi,
I hope, I put this into the right forum.
My phone is a S5 LTE Plus (G901F) with the newest original stock firmware from my provider (T-Mobile) installed. Here are the versions:
Android:
5.0.2
Basisband:
G901FXXU1BOE1
Build:
LRX22G.G901FXXU1BPA2
I would like to root it for being able to remove all the apps, that my provider pre-installed in its firmware. And also to get root access. I've already informed me about CF-Auto-Root. It sounds like it should be easy and it would work good. I have some questions due to that:
Can I root my smartphone with the versions I mentioned above? On the CF Auto Root Website it is shown, that Auto Root is based on the Build LRX22G.G901FXXU1BOK2. That seems to be a newer one, that I've installed on my phone at the moment. Could that be a reason for get problems when rooting it? Can i root it on this way?
Or should I use another solution for rooting? If yes, which one?
Does CF-Auto-Root performs a factory reset when running?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Greetz
older version of cf autoroot
CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.tar but the one on cf autoroot site works too

Thanks for your answer. Will the Phone be wiped while rooting?

cant figure out how to root a g900v running 4.4.2 and ank7. any help?

Like the title says, I have a g900v running 4.4.2 with ank7 and it seems like that's a combo nobody else has. I had it rooted before but I believe I accidentally updated with an OTA at one point and lost root. Does anyone know how to regain root from here, or guide me to which updates I should install to get to a rootable firmware? Thanks in advance!
also, I do like 4.4.2 a little more than 5.0. My gf has 5.0 and I'm not too fond of it, but if 5.0 or 6.0 are a lot better speed-wise then I'd be ok with upgrading. I'm just not a big fan on how it looks.
Does anyone have any tips or knowledge on what I need to do to get root back?
Have you tried to root using towelroot by geohot?
you can install it just by googling towelroot and then installing it
once installed you just click make it rain and you should get root
Try this web page if it doesn't work at first
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
otherwise flash using odin to a different KitKat firmware that is supported by towelroot and then root

Need Help rooting US996 with Magisk 22

This is my first attempt to root and despite reading allot still very confused on allot of the lingo and what to do. I had unlocked the bootloader with TWRP.
I tried rooting with Magisk 21.4 and it sent me into a boot loop and I did not realize a backup in Switch was not the same as in TWRP so had to learn how to put stock firmware back with LGUP.
I have US996 running Adroid 8.0 Kernel 3.18.71 software, OPR1.170623.032 build.US99620F Never rooted. Bootloader unlocked TWRP
Next day Magisk 22 came out
The app is on the phone, I am looking at the instructions and confused how to root.
1. is "patching", rooting?
2. I just want the root on stock Android 8.0.0
I need the boot .img of what? Of the stock android 8? Of something else?
3. I tried getting a boot image from LG Extract but only saw a DZ file and if I tried to extract that only see something with the word " boot_6 Bin" So I am still missing something on how this is done.
Is the boot.img usually of the software you want to try running or always the stock? Do you have to root eac time you try different or once rooted always rooted to flash other roms?
Thanks for any guidence. I tried on my own for days and really lost on all this.
Hi,
What is the best way to ask for help on this? Thanks
I still am requesting help. I need to root my US996 so I can get at least PIE running as I have an issue with an app that says it requires 9 or above.
If somebody can point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it.

On Alpha Omega Rom, I had the best results with the included Magisk installer. It's now on version 22 without any issue. Keep in mind that version 20.2 might have some compatibility issues with the V20. That won't have any impact on your ability to run software that requires Android 9, however.
This is how new I am with this stuff. What is an alpha omega rom? Does that mean stock factory rom of Android 8?
I have version 22 on my phone. Do I need to root? How do I root? I do not understand how this works now. I have tried reading help files but I dont understand what to do after I unlocked the bootloader.
What do I need next with Magisk 22 to root the phone or do I just need a rom of Android 9 or higher?
Thanks for any guidence.

Alpha Omega Rom is a custom build of the V20 system software based on LG's original stock Rom (see the links thread for more information). For the North American variants of the V20, several releases of the stock Rom based on Android 7 and Android 8 were released. Only the Korean model received a stock Rom based on Android 9, and it was never backported, so, if it's Android 9 (or newer) that you're after, you'll have to go for one that's not based on the stock rom (which will cause you to lose certain exclusive features, including the stock camera app, FM radio, Voice-over-LTE, and probably other things).
Once Magisk Manager is installed, it can act as a root manager, but only if your device's bootloader is already unlocked, which can only be done on certain variants (US996 North American unlocked is the easiest, but it is possible on some of the others as well, but only if you roll back to an exploitable version of the stock rom and use the Dirty Santa strategy described on this forum). Installing an unofficial Rom or kernel also requires an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks I have the bootloader unlocked using TWRP and on stock oreo 8.0
