Mega 2 as well.
KingRoot did work for me. I am looking for a custom ROM now, but there is like NO support from anywhere for this device. I hope we can get a developer onboard and get something built for these devices.
have a thread on android forums for this as well, you can do a search for Mega 2 and its the only thread on the mega 2 forum, screenname on there is Matt Cajon as well.
Maybe we can make something happen
Custom Recovery?
Any luck with a working custom recovery?
running backup before running the app.
Thank you shockazulu for your post on the mega2 root.
I'm new to this and have been looking and searching for the best way to do it and most have refurred the king root app.I do have a questions .
Do I still need to do a backup of the phone before running the app.?
Is this a preferment root as I noted your phone reverting back to it's original state?
Noticed there is a newer version of the king root app now 4.5 and would it be better to run that app ?
Thanks Again and I'm sure I'll have another question before I get into doing this !

I manage to root the galaxy mega 2 on the newer baseband G750AUCU3AOFA. Since for some reason you can't root it on that build. but with the modem flash it worked

The problem with the att version of the mega 2 is that the bootloader is locked. So there is no way to use a custom bootloader like Clockwork. Without a custom bootloader we can't load/flash roms.
But what we can do is........
We can use a program called Flashfire. Flashfire is a way to flash things on our phone without having to use the bootloader.
We can also use exposed launcher and wanam exposed. This is the tools we can use to make customise our stock rom.
One of us could customize a rom and create a step by step for how they created it. If it is a stable setup then instead of others flashing that custom ROM, they would fallow the steps to create the same custom ROM.
whats with the vague answer ...
if you rooted it on OFA how did you do it?!?!
WHAT MODEM?! please elaborate I need to know asap..
Any of you had luck on installing a custom recovery for it? i am trying to help another forum member who have this S750A .
I recently ported a custom TWRP for my device which is a SM-J105B. Found out that TWRP was easier to port/works better on it than CWM for instance. Maybe this is the case for you guys device, i want to help out.
i know this is a 1 year old post but if any were successful please share the knowledge cheers from Brasil!
Pindroid is trying to help me i have a samsung galaxy mega 2 sm-g750a also it said "unlocked" on the ad when i got it but anyways we are looking for the original 4.4.4 kitkat firmware and can't seem to find it anywhere but the one we did find that has repair in its title has never worked as far as flashing with it goes. I have lollipop right now and it works fine but it hasn't solved the problem im having with my IMEI so we are trying a downgrade to see if that helps. Anyways thanks for any help
I have a sm- g750a on 5.1.1 too ,tried kingo root ,kingoroot, with a no go ,roots but then just bootloops then I gotta reflash 5.1.1 firmware via Odin ...I've looked and looked just the run around on how to root this device,I really wanna root this phone love the screen and it's my go to phone for work ,if anyone could figure this out that would be awesome

The root is no problem..It's the boot loop is the biggest problem.And factory wiping it doesn't fix the issue.

Did you manage to root Mega 2 5.1.1 without issues? To remove the bootloop you will have to reflash your stock firmware via ODIN software.

I have rooted it 2 different ways...Kingo and Super SU..Once rebooted it will boot loop over and over.It has something to do with the Knox itself.I've been working on a way to disable it but it's enterprise and it doesn't have an option under security.And yes it's SG-M750A AT&T Mega 2.

mmm Ok. How did you root with SuperSU ? CF-auto? recovery? supersu-me ?
Is there an option called "Unlock by OEM" under "Developer Options"? Enable it.
Another thing, according to this tutorial for the SG-M750F:
https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-mega-2-sm-g750f
This F version which should be similar is only rootable with a specific firmware. Maybe thats the case for the A version aswell.
Also, next time you have root, before you reboot you should make a backup of your EFS and Modem folders. You can do that via ADB, EFS tools or using some apks for instance.
Check dlo2000 post on first page, he had kitkat installed, rooted with Kingo and let the the phone OTA update to lollipop... somehow his IMEI number got corrupted and now he cannot use his phone to make calls. Thats why backing up your EFS partition is important, your IMEI is there.
So from what i understood, you did know stock firmware flash would remove bootloops, but you currently dont know how to root without creating a bootloop, is that correct? cheers

Enterprise... maybe it has extra security turned on, idk.
How do you know it has to do with KNOX, did it show some knox message? Chainfire's supersu sometimes asks to let it disable knox. Which version of supersu did you use?

I used Kingo the first time,and even used Super SU me to remove Kingo...AT&T devices doesn't require any unlock for cricket because AT&T owns them lock stock and barrel.You're getting the same service just bottle necked on the 4G end of it at 8 mbs and it's unlimited.I have been reading through other post in some other forums,and the SE for Android pops up about security settings and ask to reboot to restore them.Once you do..the boot loop begins.I have searched the error out also...and it pertains to knox.I have even tried to remove knox before rebooting..No go..still boot loops...Myself and another user have the same issue,and we've been trying to figure a work around and nothing yet.Some other information I have read that with the Lollipop update it adds the enterprise knox that may cause issues.But it doesn't hurt to try...Oh I forgot to mention...I made a efs backup before I started the journey but good looking out..Thanks..

OK, so it was supersu-me and the issue has to do with SElinux right.
dude i own a Galaxy J1 mini and i was the "first person" to root the B/F/M/Y versions (custom recovery method, based on an obscure version created for the H version) , this device is also a 5.1.1 android, SElinux activated from factory. The website which provided the root for the H version vanished a couple of weeks after they annouced it... lucky to find it, i just had to read easy tutorials here in XDA to learn how to properly port the TWRP for my specific model B and later on for the other J1 mini variants on ppl demand.
What i find out from my experience is, if i was going to wait for some expert to find how to root it, i would still be waiting... keep trying!
I would personally as a noob, try to find out how to disable KNOX or SElinux . There are probably commands which can be run as root user to disable them, for instance "selinux set permissive" (i know it exists, something like that, maybe). There are apps which claim to do those stuff, just search playstore for "knox" or "selinux" and you will see. In case none does the job automatically, search how to do it manually.
In my case, the TWRP+SuperSU method worked just fine, looks definitive. BUT, before i found this, the only other real option was a chinese app called 360root. None other root app works on my device so far. But its root was unstable and not compatible with all apps, thats why i searched for a permanent root.
THis 360root only worked on the older firmware (also 5.1.1, but older samsung release).
My opinion is... in case you dont mind using kitkat (android 4.4) i would flash the oldest firmware and try to root it with Kingo (which owners of variants of the MEGA 2 claim is the only tool capable, it even turns knox off in some cases). Remembering that if this worked, you would have to disable automatic firmware updates. Letting a rooted device to auto-update usually creates more trouble.
If kitkat is a no go for ya and you want to stick with lollipop, i would first try to disable the protections via apps (root ; dont reset, install app, try). Same applies to manually trying "disabling commands" via Terminal or ADB, root, try.
If that still does not work ... i would try to download a stock lolipop firmware and extract its files. I would then try to create a custom recovery (read tutorials) and also check if there were any options i could manually reprogram inside boot.img , recovery.img, system.img etc... (more tutorials lol)
Again man, im no expert, but thats what i would do! i actually downloaded that lollipop stock firmware for your device and will try to look inside it when i have time.

Ok let me know what you find with the firmware when you get the chance.I have used 360root also in the past myself on devices when nothing else would work.I have tried several times and different ways.Disabled Knox via terminal with temp. root and still no go.It's the SELinux enforcing is the biggest problem.Kingo will install as a system app..but you won't have full root unless you run the apk to root the device again and it reboots on it's own after about 5 minutes or so.I'll keep stabbing at it..and post my findings.I assume I'm not the only one that could use this.Thanks for your time Piridroid.

theres no root, recovery so definately no custom roms. i dont think theres that much interest in the phone for anyone to take the time to develop for it. i got one given to mess around with and yulong/vodafone have crippled the phone , its got the most basic stock recovery without even sideload option and fastboot is useless, all it says is fastboot mode with no options to do anything, also the bootloader is locked tight and firmware is cpb, it would take someone special to crack this phone.
Just to clarify if your running android 4.4.2 it can be rooted but 4.4.4 doesnt root on this phone or the 890n version.

need 890n stock firmware
First of all hello to everyone now down to the point i messed up an 890n vodafone smart 4 turbo 4.4.4 and i cannot find the stock firmware anywhere can anybody help me with this i also notice that the bootloader is nice and tighty so if i found the stock firmware how could i introduce it into the device please help me thank very much
=o}
Just to confirm Kingoroot app works on 4.4.4 . The SU app also gives option now to delete ALL system apps, so do your homework.
Doing a (' site:qualcomm.com ' ) search for any of their apps is very illuminating.
I installed a root file explorer and have took out Bloatware & stuff I don't use...basically turned it into an ipod without Music functionallity, LOL.
Coolpad apps are getting themselves a bad name for surveillance & malware type actions, so beware.

Okay so um, im not exactly what you would call "good" when it comes to rooting android, and ive had the Vodafone 890N that came stock with a KitKat 4.4.4 Rom and Ive had the phone for 11 months and Just recently tried to root it, most ways i tried failed miserably but my friend got the same phone and found this exe file that he said worked for him... but it didnt, but he sent it to me and it worked for me 1st try so now i have a Vodafone 890N running 4.4.4 and its rooted. The name of the app i used is "RootGenius_v2.3.0.exe" and its in asain. So if you do it with that, and it stops and comes up with asain writing, click the blank white button... Another way i got to work was with Kingoroot... which wasnt working 5 months ago so they must've either updated it or i just got lucky
re.root
Noticed Kingo used the wifi quite a bit during the root.
They're basically tagging onto the gmscore playstore app to gain SU now.
Hi guys, can you upload de files to upgrade my Smart 4 Turbo to 4.4.4 Custom Google Rom? I've tried to use the links in the androidpt website but they are all down.
I've found a way to flash zips on to the 890N. Use KingRoot to root it. Get SuperSume from the Play Store (or internet for KingRoot 4.x) and use it. Then, download FlashFire, and use that to flash stuff

Hi. what kind of things did you flash. Was there a lollipop rom available? Thank you.
I was told to redirect my question here. My original post is :
Hi, my name is Anthony and I have a T-Mobile S5 running the latest version of android (I think it's 5.0.1 or 5.0). I'm kinda a newb with flashing and rooting. I had my phone rooted using towel root a while ago, but I lost that root in an update and it is no longer supportive of my phone.
I'm looking to install custom roms but before I do so, I would like to make a full backup of my current stock touch wiz so I can revert to it in case I don't like the new rom. I also would like to root my phone. Oh, and before anyone tells me that I need to install Odin, I have a Mac running Yosemite.... A lot of people have told me that I need to install clock work in order for this whole process to work.
Recap advice/how to:
1. Make backup rom
2. Root phone
3. Teach me how to flash roms using a Mac.
4. Include any other important info and links for downloads.
I mainly want to install CM12, but I still want a backup rom to revert to later
Thanks, and please don't post any hate

There is well written instructions on the web already. Maybe I could find a link for you.
That would be great. I've tried a couple with no success
Just use a windows pc... borrow one its 5 minutes to root.
Use odin.
You can downgrade to kit Kat also if u want u don't have to stay on 5.0
there are not many 5.0 roms or even customization for lollipop ,you will discover that fast.

Listen guys I think this could be the only chance of rooting s4 i545 0f1 I have tried every single root king/towel root etc etc on pc and phone too but all failed because the main reason is that when ever u try to root it verifies the build/kernel number and when it sees that it's 0f1 It stops working because the new most stable update of lollipop with the build number 0f1 doesn't comes with a unlocked boot loader so that u can install other stuffs just like. I phone specially in version and some other verient it would be a waste of time to try any other methos except this let me explain it did u know a while ago after the release of lollipop some apps were only supported by the 5.0 lollipop or higher when people lowere then lollipop like jelly bean and kitkat tried to download it from play store it said that this vision is not compatible with your devise because the play store decetected the 4.0 version just like king root does with build and kernel and stops but some geeks found the way to solve that by changing the build and krnel to latest version like 5.0 without even effecting system what if we could do the same with the build and kernel member to the previous working one like 0C1 then I think king root and other apps might get to working the reference how to change the kernel and build with out effecting the system is just go to YouTube and type ( fix "your device isn't compatible with this version" ) this will give u the reference for that location and app to change the build and kernel number I haven't tried it yet but if u r on that please reply me but hurry I think this can really work just need some one to test that but hurry... and please do inform back if it really works...c:
OR the other last and only option left would be to downgrade your version s4 i545 kernel = ..... 0F1 to 0C1 kitkat Which is now posible with Oden and then root it then turn it back to lollipop 5.0.1 kernel = .... 0F1 the most stable kernel version out there hope that helped u all .... c: Thanks
So i am trying to root my verison J320 phone, and im having a couple issues, for one i cannot find a stock rom with the correct build number, always has a PP in the middle or doesnt end with PL1, so i am uncertain what stock rom will be safe to grab, and i dont want to experiment with rooting it to much untill i have a solid stock rom, i found one that might be correct but it was a zip folder and i p much have to work with odin. any rate if anyone could provide me with a link to the correct stock rom that would be awesome, also if anyone knows a posible root option for this that would be nice, have tried king and kingo root both PC and Android version, havent even wasted my time trying framaroot because it has never worked for any phone i have ever owned, i found a CF autoroot for the SM-J320R4, but again not really wanting to gamble on that working untill i at least have a solid stock rom for backup
No heckling about me being stupid enough to buy a verison phone when i basically require root, i know it was stupid, i live in an area where verison is the only reliable carrier so my options are VERY limited here, i have been using phones with no signal in half the places i go for a year and im sick of it, so i want to make this bastard work.
i dont mind custom OS, hell i love custom OS, so that is also an option, my bootloader is locked so odin only please, any workarounds to unlock my bootloader and possibly get rid of knox will also be gladly accepted but unless someone can find me that stock rom i am not gonna test to much as i still owe like... 180$ on this phone

Got it installed, made a call, and worked with T-Mobile. Then went to bed at night and when i woke up it asked to install an update and I hit install. After that it hasn't been able to make any more calls. I did only test that one call. So not entirely sure the update is to blame.
password?
I have the same phone but through Verizon, will this work?

Hello Samsung j320v on not rooting my phone plz give me TWRP file.......?
is this a root method?
Hello Guys,
I am new To XDA and recently registered. So I am not sure that I am writing this thread in right place or not. So, please tell me the right place if i am wrong.
Ok, I have Samsung Galaxy A5 (2014)/(2015) (SM-A500G). It came with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
As most of you know that few months earlier samsung rolled out the marshmallow upgrade (6.0.1).
I upgraded but my device performance considerably reduces. Even some daily used to tasks start giving too much load to the device. In small words, Device started to hang too many times than earlier.
And some of you may suggest the reasons like:- Nearly complete storage, Power Saving, Too much apps, Virus and malware etc.
(Samsung Help Center Suggested it). But i can assure you this is not the reason. My storage is almost 70% free. etc etc.
The real reason is MARSHMALLOW UPGRADE.
So, I think the best way to solve it is Rooting.
But I am an newbie to the world of rooting. I don't know what is custom recovery, TWRP, Odin, CF-Autoroot etc.
I only heard there names but nothing else.
This doesn't mean that I know nothing about how android works and what is custom ROMs. I can manage these things; but not the above mentioned.
So please anyone of you can tell a detailed guide how to root galaxy A5 (2014) on marshmallow 6.0.1 with all the steps mentioned
and what each steps do. It will be very helpful.
And few things more, 1] I am thinking that after rooting I reinstall the official Marshmallow ROM; as earlier I updated my phone by OTA update and so might it cannot get to it's full potential. I am not sure that this method will work or not, so please clarify this point also.
2] My only source of Internet Connection is the device itself by making hotspot. So please please guys, give me a fully tested crash proof way to do rooting. I don't want to brick my device ( No one wants but in this case if it happens I can't find some way on the internet to reverse it). And you can also suggest any before hand precautions like full Backup of current system image etc etc. that will help if something goes wrong.
3] I already read a few threads on XDA about this issue but I cannot understand properly, so please don't provide links to these threads.
4] Also please provide a list of official and unofficial ROMs for A5
Thanks in advance
I have to read some pages to find a good tutorial but I'll find one. I root Samsung phones all the time. Its not going to brick your device. Asking here was smart, don't trust any website you find off google without fully understanding. Also, you can not install stock ROMs from custom recovery, only from a computer. That process is easy. Download the firmware and flash it. The other choice is custom ROM and recovery. Let me know what option you want to go with and I'll explain more. There are good custom ROMs, ressurection remix. Lineage os. Ice, tipsy is a good one. I use RR on my S5 and s7

Thanks for reply. I really appreciate it.
I read your reply but can't understand it fully. The reason is simple- I currently don't know what is Custom recovery and Flashing. Please explain these terms first and then I will tell what way I want.
Thanks.
A custom recovery allows you to flash zip files and operating systems from your phone directly, but only custom operating systems, not the official Samsung firmware. It is safe to use. Flashing stock firmware is the operating system as Samsung released it with nothing changed. You can gain root access to your device on stock or custom. Usually custom removes the carrier and Samsung stuff that takes up phone memory. It depends on what you want to use your phone for.
OK I go for samsung stock (official) ROM
Flashing is installing the contents of the package to your phone with a special tool like Odin or a custom recovery. And recovery is the menu on your phone from which you can restore backups or flash files.

Create an account on this site, it is free. Locate firmware 5.1.1 for your device, and make sure it is the same as your cellular service provider. So if you are on AT&T download a5 5.1.1 AT&T firmware file. It will be a large file. Once you have the file you will need a computer application named Odin. I will post a link for it shortly.
Hey wait a second. there's 6.0.1 or 5.0.2 files present. no 5.1.1.
Sorry, I replied too late. Actually caught in busy work.
Ok, I googled to know more about rooting etc. etc.
And I got a few uderstanding.
Then I re-read your replies and fully understood them.
Then something came to my mind:-
I am currently on 6.0.1 and Want to re-install it. So I currently downloaded 6.0.1 firmware from sammobile.
So, I don't know Odin can reinstall firmwares or not.
Just for your knowledge. See If we are going right or not.
Thanks
Hey, Anyone out there, please help me.
Might You Mygalaxya
