I picked up my galaxy today and i'm trying to root it. I followed the instructions and pass with odin but when i try to reboot into recovery it does not reboot into clockwork recovery only into Android system recovery. I've tried atleast 10 times with same results. Any help greatly appreciated
Depending on what kernel you flash, it does not include the recovery which is located in a different partition.
So you might have to install (flash) it seperatly.
If you want an all-in-one bundle, e.g. the Siyah kernel would be good.
Don't i need to be rooted first? i PASS the odin but when i try reboot into recovery so i can install the cwm superuser file it doesn't boot into clockwork recovery

not sure what cwm procedure your trying to do but if your using cf root the SU already gets installed during root process.

Hmmm and youve definately followed the procedure to the letter? Incl not unzipping the downloads too much you only need the tar files.
If SU and cwm manager and rooting is succeeding then maybe just flash the cwm version from here

I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy S3. Using Odin I can successfully flash Clockworkmod but I am unsuccessful at getting into Clockwork recovery. I've tried having autoreboot checked, autoreboot unchecked, F. reset time checked, and F. reset time unchecked. Any ideas on how to root?
Also this might be irrelevant but after turning on my gs3 for the first time it wanted me to update my phone, so I did. Could this update prevent the root?

(UPDATE) Ok i exchanged my phone at sprint and this time i didn't install the samsung update and it rooted with no problems.
IM also having the same problem, I got my phone yesterday (sunday) and after turning on it pushed the sprint lf9 OTA update so i did. I tried to root followed the exact procedure but after passing odin it does not enter to clockwork rec. Does the OTA LF9 update re-write clockword rec??? Is there a other way to root the GS3 ??? i have the sprint version. Im kinda new with these types of procedures.
Thanks!

Yes it's the update it frustrated the hell outta me that's why i got mine exchange and didn't install the update with the new phone, after that i rooted fine. until you find a way to get it exchange you'll be frustrated trying to root. Try getting it exchanged
QBKing's updates video explains how to make it work. I had tried it a dozen times w/ various cords, ports, and computers. The problem isn't Oden per se; it's apparently the update. The new video shows how.

Recently tried flashing a ROM on my verizon galaxy s4 with goo manager. It had gotten suck on the "downloading" screen while booting into recovery. I figured out how to get out of that and uninstalled goo manager. Now each time I try to factory reset or update, whenever the phone turns off to reset, it somehow boots into the Downloading/Odin mode and gets stuck... even though goomanager is long deleted. Any help would be fantastic.

Do you know what ROM/baseband you were on prior to trying to flash a ROM? Were you rooted already, or did you try to install over stock? Are you familiar with Odin?

To answer the second question, I am very unfamiliar with flashing and modding phones. I did root it though. I just want to be able to reset it to factory without these interferences.

Don't use goomanager on your S4 in the future, it only works on the original build.

you need to research before you attempt to do stuff......you can't use goomanger at all with your baseband. The only way to load any custom rom is thru safestrap and you are limited to safestrap compatible roms only.
Hi, I got my S5 today and out of the box it had NG3 installed, is there a root method for this yet? If so could someone point me in the right direction of where I can find it please?
Have you tried towelroot?

I did but idk if I did something wrong, I soft bricked and had to odin back stock with the firmware off of samfirmware site
Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.
What I did was odin flash philz recovery, then went into the custom recovery and went to reboot, it asked me to root and so I did then was able to download su from play store and was rooted

This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

you need to revert to ne6 firmware for towel root to work. once rooted you can upgrade with mobile odin pro this will allow you to retain root and not trip knox

But as I commented on my first post here, nada, nothing, I have tried the Phillz, the CF-auto-root, downgrade, with the original cable and others, with and without the sim card and/or sd card inserted (all of this with usb debug on in the developers settings) i dont really understand why, everything I try goes to fail and soft brick, only recuperable with Kies and full wipe...
Mine is the MS-G900T with the latest firmware :S is very weird, isn't the first time I root a phone (Galaxy Vibrant and Blaze, Nexus and Nexus 7) and I have flsh a lot of times and I know the for this procedure you have to follow each letter step by step!
I'm start thinking that probably is a locked bootloader... dunno...
this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.

That bc you are only rooted...
Being rooted dows NOT allow you to install a custom recovery. This requires a unlocked bootloader. You will more than likely have to use Odin to reflash ND7 and then root again

The reason in installed clockwork recovery was I was trying to use the mods listed listed HERE> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/development/mod-wifi-usb-hotspot-tethering-t2874035
I got the first warning, ( "System Software not Authorized" ) after installing clockwork recovery.
Next I download 4.4.2 from Sam Mobile and tried using Odin then Kies several times and the warning changed to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I think it's a Hard Brick because GhettoRoot is preventing me from flashing 4.4.2.
It was a brand new phone I got under warranty. What should I say when I return it?
( All-together I have # 4 of the note 2's. Two with cracked screens, Also I have One Re-Manufactured asurion and this brand new one that has the software warning )
For a test I tried flashing 4.4.2 on one of the other phone with GhettoRoot, that would not work either.

I was just wondering if there is a method to root my T-mobile GS5 version 5.1.1 build number G900TUVS1FOL1.
I am new to rooting and haven't done it before and with the research I've done so far, it seems like there are a ton of ways to root, but as well as damage your phone so if possible I would like some help with this or get directed to the correct tutorial to root my current version.
There are so many out there that its confusing to figure which tutorial is the right one to follow or if there is even one out there for my current version, I appreciate any help, thanks!

Install TWRP in Odin with auto-reboot disabled, immediately boot into recovery and flash the SuperSUv2.67.zip
Thanks for the links. I'm also very new to rooting. Just tired using CF Auto Root and soft bricked my phone because I didn't know there wasn't a new enough version for my G900TUVS1FOL1 build version. I flashed the stock firmware with Odin and surprisingly it booted and all my data is still intact!? I didn't lose anything like I was expecting.
So now what? Instead of CF Auto Root I can use the method you just mentioned? Also, when I clikc the TWRP link there are a ton of them, which one do I pick? And do I just need the .tar file? Or do I need the .img as well?
A little more detail and I can probably get through this. THanks!

After you flash supersu and it says "this device is not rooted , do you want to root" make sure you say no because that doesnt actually root your device , it just bricks it.

I tried installing TRWP from Odin, with auto-reboot disabled. It appeared to load into my phone, a window in Odin said "Pass!". But then how do I immediately boot into recovery? None of the keys on my phone were responding. I had to pull the battery. And then when I rebooted with Power - Volume Up, I didn't have the TWRP recovery.
And also, should I be installing twrp-3.0.0-0? Or should I use the newest one twrp-3.0.2-1??
From what I read elsewhere about Odin, once the file has flashed onto your phone, the phone should reboot automatically. If I uncheck auto-reboot, then how do I reboot the phone?

I've tried this method twice now - both times the root works but a few days later the root disappears. During the period where the device is rooted everything seems to work correctly including root. I haven't done anything that could possibly remove root - I haven't even restarted my phone. Any ideas? I used Odin v3.10.7, TWRP 3.0.2-1, and SuperSU BETA-v2.71. Should I try it with SuperSU v2.67 instead?
EDIT: I've re-rooted with SuperSU v2.67, if anything happens I'll update this post.
