Did this work for anyone else.....?? @Sanjuujosephh u tried...?

Nah..... I won't take the Risk... .
Actually I'm starting to like this j2 update!!!
Seriously Bro there's no way u can stop Knox from triggering even if by luck this works.... U will have to either stay in a custom rom or Nh6...... So it's better to stay in j2....bcuz I'm in a month or so we might get a small update

[Q] Does Flashing ROM fix all problems

I'm very curious about flashing ROMs. Now I have problem with my funbook infinity but I have all flashing softwares which is required for flashing like Original Funbook Factory Image, Livesuit, USB drivers etc. I'm scared and in doubt that will flashing my tab will fix all problems. I want to be confirmed that flashing will help me to fix my problem with the tab and it will not do any permanent damage to my funbook tab.
1- will it solve problems?
If software problem, probably. If hardware problem, definitely not.
2- got risk of bricking/damaging/create more problems?
There's always risk.

if you take the right procedure,flashing rom will not make any permanent damage to your funbook.
in my experience flashing rom is make our device back to original if you flash factory rom.
if problem come from OS yes your problem will fix,
but if problem come from hardware like camera ic, lcd etc. no you can't fix your problem

Q: During the flashing process the device may boot several times, so will the reset problem interfere between flashing process ?

[Guide] (Root ) the Official 4.4.2 K.K Rom Mega I9200

Hi Guys,
yesterday i updated my Mega I9200 to the Official 4.4.2 K.K rom
and i found it so great to have this update ... but the only thing bothered me is how to root it !!
i searched alot for away until i found this way that I ALREADY TESTED for mine and
it worked well :victory:
1st : I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE / SABOTAGING YOUR DEVICE
as i said before it worked well for me and i just want to share it
for the fellows who have this beautiful device .
2nd : How to Root :
1- charge your device to a good limit ex. over 80% .
2- Take a backup for important stuff (apps-contacts-messages- etc. ) "Just in Case " .
3- Install philz_touch_CWM Recovery :
Download and start Odin 3.07
Download philz_touch_6.25.0-melius3gxx.tar.md5
Add .md5 file to PDA in Odin & Make sure that only F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked
Now you need to turn off your smartphone and put it into “Download Mode”
To do so, fist make sure that your device is completely turned off & press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power keys
Now using the original USB cable, connect it to PC & If phone is connected correctly, the colour or ID:COM box will change as well
Now just click on the start button
4- by now you have the philz Recovery on your device .
5- after that there is 2 Ways to root you device ( i did the 1st one & worked well )
1st Way :
boot into philz_touch Recovery by turn off your device Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons
open "philz settings " in recovery and choose " Re-Root the system "
reboot the device normally into the rom
after the device boot up install " superSU " app
and hence you have ROOTED your device
2nd Way :
same as 1st way but instead of open " philz settings " , you choose to install zip from SD Card
choose SuperSU v1.99 zip , that you already downloaded to sd card .
after flashing it , reboot normally and install " super SU " app
and hence you have root
Downloaded Files :
philz_touch_6.25.0-melius3gxx.tar.md5 http://filerio.in/av9q567dc3fr
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip http://filerio.in/vmqa4fbzszua
Odin3_v3.07.rar http://filerio.in/rfsww8dayjuz
Hope this was helpful to all of you Guys .
P.S : the forum moderators are welcomed to move the topic to right sector if it's not right .

i don't know is this happened before or after trying this but
a general case of sd card read/write issue after kk update
use this app to fix : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
but you must root your phone 1st then use this app as it needs root .
Hi Hatem,
it did not work for me, i'm still on 4.2.2 & Knox was installed recently!
i followed the steps but no root or change in the recovery menu whatsoever
any advise would be great
Thanks for the effort anyways
it worked following this guide

When you flash the recovery make sure that you untick auto-reboot option in odin then flash the recovery. When it is done manually reboot the phone by holding the power button for a while and then hold the volume up and home button as soon as it starts to boot.

[ROOT] How to root Samsung Galaxy J500F.

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.

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.

Flash this with Odin

Nope it will make you boot up.
If you want to get back to lolipop after you able to bootup you need to follow the step which you will find in youtube or xda forms how to go back to lolipop.

First flash lolipop firmware
With odin untick autorebot
When its flashed directly open youre battery
And turn on but dont let your device boot up then again turn on with vol up + power + home which take you to recovery then wipe data and reset factory
Then rebot and you will get successfully lolipop version.
Hope it will work its worked for me and am using it.

Hey bud, Ive got a J700T, am in serious need of the most recent BL for TMobile (AQF1). Any ideas where to get it? Dealing with what I suspect is a minor mismatch issue that is failing Googles SafetyNet API despite being totally stock now.
If you're wondering - I reflashed the existing AQF1 HOME file from sammobile to unroot, buuut then discovered the HOME file had everything but the BL. So I figure theres a remnant change left in mine thats flagging Googles API.( Lucky I didnt attempt changing versions or i'd be bricked and ticked.)
