I have tried every root technique possible, even the De La Vega method from the OG Note 3, with no success. The N750/N7505 use an Exynos chip that makes the CFAUTOROOT and TWRP builds for those models incompatible with the Qualcomm Duos version.
I've posted the recovery.img in Chainfire's thread, posted my question in the de la vega thread, and requested a TWRP in bigbiff's thread.
Are there any other users searching for support? Is there a way for a non-programmer to create a root solution from guides on XDA? I hope someone takes some interest in this device to at least get root and hopefully a custom recovery for backups. Cheers.
I would glad at least for root.

I desperately want to root my Neo SM-N7502 as well. I nearly bricked mine when I tried the Chainfire root file for N750 - it failed to root and would no longer boot. I had to resort to Samsung's recovery procedure.
I alao tried vroot and oneclick root with no success. Tried chainfire root for 7505 and bricked the phone. So reflashing the original Samsung rom by rom.. Asmed chainfire in his thread and Google+ but atill no answer...
Any further guide will be highly appreciated...
It looks like we have no root possibility right now.

Hello everybody.
I have tried to root my Neo SM-N7502 using the N750 CF Auto Root and of course it failed. Now my phone is bricked.
When I tried to update the firmware using Kies, the process is failing giving me a message that my device's version cannot be updated. I'm now stuck and I don't know what to do next and my device is still bricked. Any ides?
Thank you,
Daniel

Hi. You just download the original rom and flash it with odin.
It worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850
According to this thread from the Note 3 forum, the script"[will] create Root de la Vega for any device that has the necessary hooks." I have downloaded the appropriate stock ROM for the SM-N7502, successfully run the script (which indicates that the necessary system hooks exist), and successfully booted up with the modified ROM.
After that, the thread says to copy over the ROOT files to the sdcard, reboot, then remove the ROOT files, and reboot a final time. The end result, no ROOT. Can someone take a look at the ROOT files and see if we can adjust anything to make it work for our device?
Somehow, the script does not execute the SH file from the ROOT files after reboot... but I do not understand why.

Follow the link posted or goto the cfautoroot page and get the file for our device. Inside the zip are Odin files and the cfautoroot package.
Put the phone in download mode (from powered off, hold vol down and the home key and the power key simultaneously, then press volume up at the confirmation page to continue into download mode).
Once in download mode, connect your phone to your computer and open the Odin app. Click the AP button and select the cfautoroot package. Then click start.
Phone will reboot into cfautoroot mode. Let it do its thing (should see mobile Odin text in red). It will reboot again and boom, done.
Google for directions if you need more detailed instructions, pretty much the se for every device. Thankfully our device doesnt have a locked bootloader to deal with.
Thanks! Done successfully!

Anyone who needs a quick tutorial can follow the same methodology as for SM-7505, except that use the SM-7502 file instead of the Sm-7505 file.

As I can see from your other posts you rooted the 997D with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 solution. After that you did the system firmware update and you don't have root anymore?
I also updated the firmware of my 997D through my phone settings/about phone/system updates/check for update and after that I first tried to root my phone with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 utility and it didn't work.
Is there any way to rollback our firmware?

Nice move from alcatel to fix root in an update, if i only knew this before i updated
Also tried Unlockroot 3.0 (which was updated recently) but it doesn't work
ok, found this out, when you shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, phone starts in android recovery mode 3e, any possible chance to get the phone rooted this way?
c'mon guy's i want this phone rooted, getting resolution problems with games (software buttons of ics hide some of the screen) can't start some gps apps because of this stupid software buttons)
anyone dare to try this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ldao6p9eyjuu1f9
I'm prepared to even pay for a working root, so if anyone has found a way, pls contact me at pm
Any news on this subject? I love the phone, but I miss the SetCPU profiles I used on my previous phone, and a battery meter with percentage...
Nothing yet, I have tried every available method soc,unlockroot,bin4ary etc and nothing works after the firmware update.
Is there anyone who hasn't done the firmware update and can root his phone? If yes please do a factory reset and take a backup of his ROM and upload.
I guess our best bet would be a port of CWM recovery. Maybe I'll backup the stock recovery and use the CWM recovery builder this evening if I have the time

I'll reply to myself: no way, since you need to be rooted in order to dump the stock recovery. Maybe if someone could try to extract the OTA update so we could examine the files and look if the recovery.img is there...
---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Ok, I have managed to get something.
Following this tutorial by Bruno Martins (a well known rom cooker who's also a user here) I've been able to dump recovery.img from my Alcatel OT-997D: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
The tutotial was meant for MT6513 and MT6573 devices, but looks like it works on MT6577 too.
Then, I've used that file with the Clockworkmod recovery builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and now I have another recovery image, which is supposed to be a CWM port for our Alcatel.
I'm still unsure to flash that recovery, since I can't be sure it will work. Mediatek based phones do not have a fastboot mode, so it's impossible to just try a recovery image without actually flashing it. In fastboot mode, you can boot the phone into a custom recovery without actually flashing it, so you risk nothing if it doesn't work
In case someone daring enough wants to try my custom recovery, I've uploaded it to my Mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7232aj7jhg7l4e5
The idea is that, with a working CWM recovery, it should be possible to flash Chainfire's SuperSU root zip and easily root the phone.
Of course I warn you this could ruin the recovery image on your phone, so don't risk doing it if you're not sure.
I have an Samsung galaxy trend plus GT-7580, Europian version. (sorry my english) and I want it to be rooted. Is there any guide to how to root this phone?
I have an GT-7580 galaxy trend plus, european too.
I confirm root with Kingo root: easy, functional and secure!
Search kingo root, download the windows program, active the "USB Debugging" on the developpers mode (activate this menu in Setting -> More -> About Device -> 5 or 6 clicks at BUILD NUMBER), install and run the program with the phone connected....et voilà!

But wasn't that program banned from xda, because it install some nasty malware?
I used VRoot to root mine. Found out about it randomly (someone said they managed to root a phone with it) and, luckily, it was compatible with the S7580 as well.
I'm waiting for some custom roms now.

I used the vroot. It seem legit. And I strip off alot of bloatware. plus I removed the vroot own su with the normal su.
Same here. I'm not sure how much of the rumors were true (about vRoot being malware and all that), but it helped me a bunch when there were no other alternatives. The support for S7580 is very limited at the moment and it was difficult to find even a way to root it.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Same as you HenryStar, I removed a bunch of stock crap I wasn't using and replaced the chinese SU app with SuperSU. So far so good; can't wait for people to start taking an interest in this phone so we can have some alternatives to the stock rom.
By the way, did you manage to install any recovery on it?
i have that phone to...lets hope that they will make a treath for trend plus..lets see...so we rooted the phone..wath did u make overclock?? or something to him?
I don't usually overclock my phones. Besides, the S7580 is rather snappy and I'm not sure the minimal improvement is worth the extra stress on the CPU.
Still waiting and hoping for a separate section for it.
Sorry if I was late with my answer and no, I tried to install custom recovery. I gonna test this so I can get an custom recovery on this phone in the futher.

Extract recovery img:
For ADB:
connect phone via usb(make sure usb debugging is connected).
Start ADB
from windows:
Click Start
Run -> Cmd.exe
type "adb shell"(without quotations)
from ubuntu:
Press Ctrl+alt+t(or open the terminal)
type "./adb shell"(without quotations)
when in the shell type "su"(without quotations)
On your phone a dialogue window will appear asking for permission to grant superuser. Click yes!!
now type "cat /proc/mtd"(without quotations)
A list of partitions(or w/e they are) should appear, you're looking for the one called "recovery". Mine is labeled mt8, I assume this is the same for you, but I could be wrong. For your phone's sake let's just make sure we're certain!!!
now in the shell type:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
your recovery.img should now be on the root of your sdcard

I'm not following you at all.
You want to root. You started with a program (vroot) which is not known to work on Kit Kat. But you think that it's OK, because it's Chinese. Then you refuse to use Samsung signed factory images to recover your phone. Why? Because they're from Japan?
On a clean NC5 build, Towelroot seems to root just fine. Why not use that?

why are you angry like that.
i didn't refuse to use samsung factory images...i have used them many times to recover from soft brick...i have bricked my phone about 5 times..
this happen because play sytem files or build.prop file.
not matter for me if i used factory images from china or japan....iam not japaness or chiness.
my image was clean but only towel root dosen't work for me so i use the two programs...ok
vroot has been updated to work with kitkat if you have the latest version of it...but on some device may not work properly but it can push su file into /system/xbin....thank you.

Angry? No, just confused as I said. You seemed to be worried about running Odin, an official Samsung application to flash factory stock ROMs but don't seem to have any problems running programs like vroot. Maybe the vroot owners have reformed, so maybe it's time to look. However, it seems very likely that they've just tweaked Towelroot, as vroot couldn't root Kit Kat before Towelroot came out. If so, then they should be telling geohot how to make it work on more models rather than diverting contributions from geohot. But then again, they've never been a part of the community. Their choice, of course.
i have runing odin many times to restore/update phone rom.
Hello guys...!
Recently I've successfully rooted Samsung Galaxy J5 using CF-Auto-Root-e53g-e53gxx-sme500h.zip (Root files of Galaxy E5)
So I'm sharing this to Galaxy J5 users
My phone build number- LMY48B.J500FXXU1AOFA
Warning : I'm not responsible for your device if bricked.. do it on your own risk.
Requirements: Your phone should be charged at least 40-50%
Make sure that the OEM unlock option in Developer option is enabled otherwise it will prevent flashing process.
Step 1: Download and Install Samsung USB Driver on your computer. If Samsung USB Driver is already installed on your computer then Skip this Step.
Step 2: Download and extract the root files on your computer. https://download.chainfire.eu/718/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-e53g-e53gxx-sme500h.zip?retrieve_file=1
Step 3: Now, Switch off your Smartphone.
Step 4: After switching-off the phone, you need to boot into Download Mode. To boot into download mode Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power button at same time for 5-8 seconds until download mode is active.
Step 5: In the Download mode you will be able to see a Warning Yellow Triangle Sign. In this situation you have to press the Volume Up key to continue.
Step 6: Now, Open Odin3 (found in the extracted files, that you have downloaded in the Step#2) on your computer. Then connect your Smartphone to the computer.
Step 7: Once you have connected the Smartphone to the computer, Odin will automatically recognize the device and show “Added” message at the lower-left panel.
Step 8: Once your device is detected by Odin, click on the PDA button and select the CF-Auto-Root.tar file (you have downloaded this file in step#2).
Step 9: Now, click on the Start button in Odin to begin the Flashing.
Step 10: Flashing usually takes 30-50 seconds to complete the rooting process on your Samsung Galaxy J5 .Once Rooting process is completed you will be able to see a Green Box with Pass written on it in Odin. During this process Smartphone will re-boot automatically.
Step 11: Once you see, the Pass message in Odin, you can disconnect your Device from the computer.
Step 12: Now, to make sure you have successfully rooted your Samsung galaxy J5,open Applications Menu on your Smartphone and Find SuperSU App. If this app exist on your Smartphone then it means you have successfully rooted your device. Congratulations.
Optional: You can also verify that your device is successfully rooted or not by Root Checker Application.
Hit Thanks cuz i don't have any
Would rooting by this method affect knox ? I want to keep my warranty intact.

Yes it will. Knox will detect changes in Rom and will not be activated.
So, You have lost your warranty ?
If you flashed original stock rom again, you would get warranty back .
Am I correct ?

Are you runnung lollipop 5.1.1 or marshmallow 6.0.1?
---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------
I suggest to root it with TWRP made by Nick Verse for 5.1.1 lollipop and TWRP made by Ganesh Varma for 6.0.1. Besides rooting your phone TWRP is going to be usefull for you in the future like partitioning your sd card or flashing some patches, even at flashing custom roms, kernels etc.
Hey, im having a problem and im hoping someone can give me advice.
I wanted to root the j500fn with android 6.0.1. in a similar way but there seems to be no according autoroot file (.md5) on the internet. There is one for this type of phone but only for previous android versions.
I tried some apps to root without a pc but they dont support it either. So is there something else i can try or should i just wait and hope they release one in the future ?

You could just search a bit more it's all over there man. Also if you look at the comment upon yours I already suggested the rooting way. Do it with twrp recovery by ganesh varma.
Sent from my SM-J500FN using XDA Labs
No it isnt ' all over there' and has it ever occured to you that for people with no experience at all this is like a maze?
Anyway thanks for your helpful comments.

Lineage OS 14.1 by Vince or dyneteve is worth to try
Hello All,
I have a galaxy note 3 N9005 LTE with 4g option unavailable unless I modify a data file and change its value from 0 to 1 (I don't remember the exact file name right now!), however, I can't change that file value unless I have my device rooted.
I have rooted my device before and had my 4G option enabled successfully before I perform a factory reset.
Currently, I am trying to root it again using Chainfire cf auto root file and Odin.
Although the Odin gives a successful process, the phone doesn't get rooted after bootup.
Model Number:
SM-N9005
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:
N9005XXUGNG1
*I have tried all auto root application available like kingo root and others and they do not work.
*If you know a method to unlock the 4G option in this device, it might be enough for me and no need for rooting.
(I have no clue why should they disable the 4g option in the first place !! )
Thank you for helping!
I've rooted that thing before using kingoroot and then flashed twrp and then flashed supersu zip and then flashed cyanogenmod 13. So I guess you do the same Btw, I did all that without a computer, by flashing twrp using the flashfire thing from gstore.

Thank you for your reply!
But as mentioned up there, kingoroot failed to root my device. Therefore, I am looking for other alternatives.

Can you re-download this (http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip)? It is possible that you have downloaded and flashed the one for the 4.2 bootloader, which obviously won't work.
Good luck

It is that exact one I have used, although I know it is for Android 5.0. I have no idea why it doesn't work with my cell phone.
Also, I have used Odin v3.10.6 and v3.07.

It's for android KitKat. Hmm, interesting, I'd backup stock ROM and reflash the 4.4.2 and then try the cf auto root. So I suggest you do the same
