Tried using 4.4.4 Root (CF-Auto Root) .. successful at first boot. But when you restart/power off. It won't turn on..
Only works in Download Mode .. No recovery mode
Yeah. I tried that on my SM-A300F too but if your device isnt running on the same built id*KTU84P.A300FXXU1ANL1 then it wouldn't work. I just hope CF will update the new CF-Auto root.

Wait.. I am not sure what to do here.
1.I go to download mode, flash the cfautoroot.zip for 4.4.4 eventhough I am 5.0.2 right?
2.then you say flash the recovery.img from 5.0.2 StockRom file.
this is the part I don't quite get it. Cause you said dont reboot.
Do I flash it when my phone is turned on or should I put it in download mode to flash???
EDIT: OK ignore the all of the above. I got it now. I was stupid and blind. lol
EDIT2: All work perfectly. THANKS

but when I shut it down it also automatically goes into recovery. Even if I choose power down in the stock recovery it stills reboots into recovery. I can boot it back up perfectly tho but now I just can't fully shut my phone down.
How did you manage to shut your phone down?
I shut down my phone via option from holding power button.
did you shutdown your phone by holding the power button for a period of time or you choose from the option from holding the power button for a few seconds??
Edit: I got it. I went to download mode via terminal emulator and then shutdown from there.

Thank you very much for your instructions and I was able to upgrade my firmware to ********BOD9 (Russia). I did not feel any lagginess and the upgrade is smooth and stable from 4.4.4 to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 ********BOD9 (Russia). After I updraded the firmware, I root my phone using CFRoot 4.4.4, followed your instructions carefully. I did extra work to make sure the system is clear so that there will be no lagginess. After flashify the recovery.img and boot.img rebooted the phone by flashify it went back to the recovery. Then I wipe data cache and wipe cahe. Go to bootloader mode and again install ********BOD9 using ODIN V 3.10.6 and root and copy the recovery.img and boot.img of ******BOD9 to external SD Card. Next flashify the recovery.img and boot.img and reboot. Then the problem of recovery still exist. I off my phone for 2 minutes. Turn on my phone again, do restart and the problem of going to recovery was gone. Take note that flashify will be used for 3 flashing per day. If you consume the 3 flashing don't reboot your phone, patiently wait for 1 day and flashify the recovery and boot.img then reboot using flashify. It will bring you to the bad recovery and reboot system. Now my phone is updated to Android 5.0.2, no lagginess & no stuttering and no recovery problem. The only problem problem is I cannot backup my rom. Still waiting for CWM Recovery for SM-A300F.
Thx this helped but after rooting it, when I turn off the screen, after a while, it reboots and I don't know how to stop it. Any help please?

Yep. The stockstock recovery is different for each build. If you flash a G4 Stock recovery on a H3 firmware. It WILL flash and you'll be back to to clear data and factory reset too but you won't be able to flash OTA updates. Cause for that, you need the specific stock recovery for your current build.
Please provide the installation guide.
I am on stock NH3 but don't know how to extract stock recovery image. If guided, I can help.

by flashing a prerooted ROM through odin or using CF-AUTOROOT..
I like the TWRP.. i dont have seen other problem Except that I BACK UP my ROM using S5 PORT ROM. After backing up., i installed the CM11 latest version, after an hour i RESTORE the S5 port rom that i had BACK-UP. But i cannot RESTORE it because it does not appear. What i need is COPY the BACK-UP from EXT-SD CARD to SD-CARD then RESTORE it. Is that the bug or that's the way of restoring it?
REQUEST..
sir Ali.Filth and Techmate98 can we request a FLASHABLE TWRP directly via CWM.. thank you sir. MORE POWER..
Android-secure partition
Is android-secure partition not available in our device or that TWRP 2.7 doesn't have that option? Because many apps in SdCard and when is not option to backup android-secure when restore the backup I don't have apps that in sdcard anymore. need to install that apps again. :crying:
thus this recovery work for K1 stock firmware.

Yes, you can root 5.0.2. Do the cf auto root first. Once it boots, then you should have root. But it's not done yet. Do not reboot or turn off device as it won't be able to boot back yet. Go to play store and install flashify.
After that, extract the 5.0.2 firmware you flashed (rename and erase the .md5 extension at the end and you now have a .tar file, which can be extracted like a .zip or .rar.
Once extracted, get boot.img and recovery.img and copy them to your phone.
Then open flashify, locate those two images and flash them.
You should have root without any problem.
First flash recovery.img. and renaming it wouldn't cause any harm. The file probably looks like this: something.tar.md5.
If you remove md5, then you have .tar file. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from it like you would from any .zip

Hi, thanks for the info; I also have the same problem.
I would like to clarify your instructinos.
1) I have A500FU with lollipop 5.0.2 (which i downloaded and installed with odin)
2) I download cf auto root for 4.4.4?? is that right?
3) I extract boot.img/recovery.img from the 5.0.2 tar file
4) install flashify and flash the above.
Also you mentioned I need to do 3,4 without reboot, coz it wont boot. What will happen if it reboots by mistake? WIll it need a kies restore? or even just a 5.0.2 rom flash?
thanks alot

If it reboots by mistake, then it would be stuck in kernel logo and the screen would become whitish and remain like that. It's because CF root from 4.4.4 installs old kernel. If this happens, press volume down, home and power key together so that your device turns off.
Then enter download mode to reflash the rom with odin.

So, you don't flashed the recovery.img and boot.img! After flash Cf-Auto-Root, Use Flashify and flash the boot.img + recovery.img from 5.0.2 Lollipop ROM.
I wl wxplain in detail. I took odin. Connected the phone. Den loaded up the auto root file. Clicked on start. So it starts flashing.. after the flashing is complete.. phone reboots itself... ryt ? Den it stays on the samsung screen. Stuck. I can use flashify only if i can boot up completely.

Now you have to reflash the stock ROM Lollipop for your A7 with Odin.
After flashed the ROM, flash the CF-Auto-Root package.
Don't reboot your device, otherwise same bootloop problem, when the device is bootup install "Flashify" from Play Store. Extract the boot.img and recovery.img from the 5.0.2 ROM.
Flash the boot.img and recovery.img from the Stock ROM with Flashify then restart your device and you have a fully functional root on your A7.
This method has worked with my A5.
Still not working
Than you for ur concern man.. But still it dos not work. After flashing cf auto root... I Just leave the phone. I do no touch it. It should boot into android. But it is not. It stays in d same screen.. Samsung... Galaxy A7
Maybe this works only for A3 and A5
Hi, I have successfully rooted 5.0.2 rom on galaxy grand prime with cm autoroot for kit kat.

2. boot 5.0.2 set up google account and install super su
3. download flash cm autoroot https://download.chainfire.eu/664/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-fortunalte-fortunaltedx-smg530f.zip?retrieve_file=1
4. boot again - phone will reboot 3 times before booting into system and updating super su, launch and set up super su
5. download recovery.zip, extract and flash it, WARNING use this recovery only with G530FZXXU1BOG2_G530FZOXA1BOG2_PHE, it is extracted from this rom and it should fix boot loop after flashing the cm autoroot package
6. reboot and you have rooted lollipop on G530FZ
MAKE SHURE YOU FLASH recovery from step no 5 otherwise you will end up in boot loop
p.s. I am now working on xposed installer

PDA G530FZXXU1BOI2
CSC G530FZOXA1BOI2
Do I have to Flash the previous G530FZOXA1BOG2? Or can I skip this step and flash the autoroot directly? Would work the Recovery with my current version?
Just downloaded and installed Kingroot app...works fine

This post shows you how to upgrade your system to lollipop 5.1.1 and optionally have root privileges. This is tested on C6833 model. For other models see the troubleshooting section near the end of the post.
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.18.6. or 0.9.19.6 or higher Important: Do not use Flashtool 0.9.19.0.
If you want to root the phone: Rooted XZU on Android version 5.0.2 or Kitkat with custom recovery installed.
This works on locked or unlocked bootloaders and any customization.
Download link for upgrade only:
C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf (unmodified Customized DE):
https://mega.nz/#!khF1nILD!C5D70e-BjCKVBCuOurjFOLcIMZDcldYVeIDnFiR-PGM
Download link for upgrade and root:
5.1.1-system.zip:
https://mega.nz/#!YoFgCSjA!Zh8t_4jeXcAEWhOYePA40uQLI7vw4-CnxohjBdMbpz0
C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf
https://mega.nz/#!l4dllSTT!R393EG4W3CwOZp1OLOzfUzpHF0IlvsmfW04BrGOggXc
Instructions for upgrading without root:
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf
3- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
4- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
5- Reboot.
Instructions for upgrading with root:
0- If your existing system is rooted using Kingroot read the troubleshooting section below before continuing.
1- Back up your internal SDCARD and your apps.
2- Download C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and 5.1.1_system.zip.
3- Copy 5.1.1-system.zip to your phone's internal SDcard.
4- Reboot to recovery and install 5.1.1-system.zip.
5- If you are coming from Kitkat just Turn the phone off. If you are coming from 5.0.2, reboot the phone and let it work through the boot animation which will take a while. Then it will show force closing messages and possibly reboots itself. At this point turn it off by holding down the power and volume-up keys for a few seconds. The phone will vibrate 3 times and turns off.
6- Open Flashtool and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_14.6.A.0.368_No_System.ftf and flash this ftf with your phone in flash mode. I recommend wiping apps and cache and data (Note that wiping data will erase your internal SDcard too). To put your phone in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
8- Reboot.
Troubleshooting, etc.
This procedure works only if you follow every step carefully. When you are done you can easily test your root status in a terminal emulator or via adb. Please see the attached image.
If you have used Kingroot to root your existing system flashing this ROM may not work and it may leave your system with a partially updated file system that may be broken. The reason is that Kingroot (which in my opinion is malware) makes some of your system files immutable which means they cannot be removed during a software upgrade. To proceed, you should either find a way to replace this horrendous piece of code with SuperSU or downgrade to Kitkat and root with XZDualRecovery before trying this guide. Read the second part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62936808&postcount=22.
If during the procedure for root the flashing of the ftf in step 7 fails, repeat step 7 with C6833_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8026_R2D.ftf or any other 14.6.A.0.368 ftf but exclude the system partition in the flashtool dialog window. If you don't exclude the system partition you will not get root.
If you have root after the procedure but something else doesn't work, try a factory reset.
Note that flashtool 0.9.19.0 was specifically released to support the new sin format on new devices and some of its features don't work with older devices. So to avoid taking any chances I used version 18.
I don't know if this works for C6802 or C6806. Some users reported success on 6806, like this one and this. For that model you follow this guide and use the zip file posted here. The only difference is that instead of flashing the ftf posted here in the next step, use the stock 14.6.A.0.368 ftf for your phone and exclude system.
Will this C6833 FTF work on a C6806 USA phone?, because I can't find a C6806 FTF anywhere...
Can this system zip be used with other customized versions of c6833 ftf.

could you share flashtool 0.9.18.0 cos I can't find that version only higher.
will this work on c6802 just wondering?
I did as you said but. I see no super-su

You probably didn't exclude the system partition in this step:
7- Navigate to where you saved C6833_Customized+DE_14.6.A.0.368.ftf.*Exclude system partition*and flash this ftf.
Out of curiosity, what is wrong with the latest flashtool?

Customized DE just means it is the German version of the ROM. I used that because I bought the phone in Germany. But the menus and keyboard and everything is in English so you would not even notice the difference.
This method will not touch your bootloader status so if you are locked you remain locked.
If you are already on 5.1.1 through OTA this will not work for you. You need to start from rooted 5.0.2 with recovery installed.

I think you can still do it straight from kitkat but if you are following the instructions with root in step 5 instead of rebooting just turn the phone off.
Let me know if that works.
so my ZU used to be rooted with Lollipop 5.0.2, but i removed Kinguser/chinese root app and no longer have root access. I've also previously installed recovery but don't know if it will still work ? i forgot how to boot into recovery to see if it even works.. any helpers?
Power on the phone and when u see the led notification start pressing either the Volume UP or Volume Down key a couple of times to make your phone boot into recovery mode

So far seemingly just a joke on serious interests
I just bricked my 5.1.1 G750A by using Kingroot, then a script failed when attempting to uninstall Kingroot to replace it with SuperSU. Root appeared to stick after the script failed, and I was even prompted by SuperSU to allow root to Titanium. I tried to reboot to see if root would stay, and am now stuck in a boot loop. I get the ATT logo for a few seconds, then reboot again. I've tried Kies to reinstall and it wants to install 4.4.4 in Firmware Upgrade mode, which fails. I can't get Emergency firmware recovery in Kies to ever show my device while it is in download mode or recovery mode. I then found the only stock firmware to download which is UCU1ANI1 and that fails Odin with "Invalid Magic String." I'm guessing this is all because I can't find a 5.1.1 (or even close) firmware. So, I too am looking for this elusive 5.1.1 firmware, and using an old gimp S4 until I can get this Mega 2 back up and running.

Have you tried using Samsung Smart Switch to repair your firmware? You have to input your serial number in order to be able to download it. Try it and see if it works.
I just tried Smart Switch. It did as you suggested and said it was an incompatible device. So I put in my model/serial number. It still tries to install 4.4.4. It fails after it attempts to install with the following error on the phone in download mode:
"SW REV. CHECK FAIL DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 1" Why does Kies and Smart Switch try to install 4.4.4 instead of 5.1.1?
Next question, of those sites above. Would you guys recommend them at all? Are the files legit? Looks like the cheapest one would be $25 US to get 5.1.1.
