No bootloop because of the recovery?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
through trial and error, it seems like superSU causes the botloop (every time I try to install that it does the bootloop)
Last question will this wipe my internal SD or just wipe the /data partition?

Flashed this, seems to work except I get a No SIM error.
Doesnt wipe internal storage, but no matter how many times I flash, I get invalid sim error. A quick twrp restore to 5.0 and all is good again.

No, it's the supersu files which cause the bootloop. Having a custom recovery does not cause any issues.
I've got the latest twrp installed. It's running fine here. Once a supersu is avail that works with I'll flash and continue on my way.
Had anyone tried flashing UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from twrp? Read this as a guide for a nexus 5...

Unless you took the full update. Custom recovery and su causes bootloops.

I just got myself a note 3 for sprint, and it had the OC5 Lollipop update on it. I flashed CF-Auto-Root on it, and it booted up fine. Used it for a bit, and then I tried putting TWRP on to flash Xposed Framework. TWRP flashed fine, and worked fine, but now the phone will not boot into the stock rooted rom. I have tried flashing the factory image again, that didn't fix it. Even tried flashing a kitkat factory image, and that didn't work either. The only way i can get the phone to boot into the OS is if i run a custom kitkat rom, and then everything seems to work fine. So where can i go from here to get the factory lollipop rooted with a custom recovery working?

I'd say go back to NK4 and then accept the update to OC5 and root.
You'll need these files, please thank the OPs of the threads.
NK4 tar from [Odin] Mirrors for Official Samsung Tars for MJ4, NAB, NC5, NH7 & NK4
twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar from TWRP hltespr page
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from [STABLE][2015.02.13] SuperSU v2.46
Copy SuperSU zip file to your sdcard.
boot to recovery and factory reset, wipe partition cache and dalvik cache.
Then power the phone off from recovery.
Boot to download mode Volume Down + Home + Power ... then Volume Up.
(from the OFF state, booting into download mode from a ROM or recovery never works correctly when using odin)
Using Odin 3.09 flash NK4 tar, let it reboot, it will take it a while to start the first time.
when the phone restarts, unplug the usb cable.
you can skip all the setup stuff and then get the ota to get back to OC5; Settings, System Update, Firmware Update
once ota is completely done, power the phone off
go into download mode
odin the twrp tar (uncheck everything in odin)
once odin says pass unplug the usb cable and press Volume Up + Home + Power until the phone vibrates and you see the blue writing - this will get you into recovery w/o having to pull the battery.
flash the SuperSU zip file.
reboot to system, you should be on OC5 stock rooted.

I flashed TWRP then booted into recovery. Then I went to reboot and it pointed out I didn't have root and offered to root and install SuperSU. I accepted.
Has anyone flashed this over the OD3 De-odexed version?
Will it matter if you Odin the Stock Odexed over a De-odexed firmware?

There isn't one that I know of. If you tell TWRP to reboot the system, it will ask you if you want to root the phone if it detects that it isn't currently rooted.
You would need to install busybox separately from the play store.

This did not work.
I did an Odin of OG1 over OD3
Most seemed to be good but broke Data and Wifi/Internet
Even tried doing a factory reset and activation and wifi/internet would not work
Had a TWRP backup so I restored that
Odd thing is I'm on OD3 with the OG1 modem and everything seems to be fine -- go figure
I'll wait until I hear more results from other people or maybe a newer revision - OD3 is working fine for me

You have to enter download mode from a powered off state. Pull the battery, put it back in, and then flash. Otherwise you will have modem issues (wifi/internet).

Ok if your on of6 you can still run Moars.
And you can also with this rom. I'll post instructions when I get home about 2 hours. You have to flash twrp.img in odin
After flashing this. But you can't reboot during the 2 flashes. Must odin both from a powered off state both times. After flashing twrp. Img power off the phone by pulling battery. Boot into twrp recovery. Then from in recovery hit reboot. And it will ask if you'd like to root the phone you choose yes.
Then upon reboot you'll be Rooted. Next download Moars. Zip and flash Moars in your twrp (custom recovery). Tada
I'll get you the files if you can't find them when I get home.

Try wiping internal before the odin flash make sure auto reboot and reset time are unchecked in odin. Or you possibly have a bad download.

I have tried to use chainfire to root my device but it fails, I just tried to load twrp-klte into it, it fails also. Can i load this firmware on my OD3 and try to root it via TWRP like others have said? Thanks

og1 FULL ROM
here the links to Odin 310.6 (thanks to tdunham for the files)
twrp.img are the 2 files
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15340
odin this( rom AP slot) from a battery pulled powered off stat
make sure auto reboot and reset time is unchecked in odin
when the screen says pass Dont reboot.
unplug it and pull the battery and put it back in download mode manually
the flash twrp.img file in odin also ap slot (again make sure auto reboot and reset time are unchecked in odin
when it says pass. reboot directly to your custom recovery you just flashed.
hit the reboot button once recovery opens at that point it will alert you that you aren't rooted and would you like to obtain root. say yes. and it will reboot( Rooted with custom recovery). from that point you can flash moars through recovery or what ever custom rom you'd like.
Interesting looks like firmware...i.e. OD3, OA6, OF6, and now OG1 which are firmware in contrast to MOAR... which is considered a ROM...meanwhile thanks for your assistance...waiting for MOAR to boot
I looked around for one but was unable to find one. Maybe Twi5sted's stock has the original kernel but encryption fails when I attempt it.
Any suggestions?

how to make stock recovery flashable?
I do have another question regarding this rom - would you happen to know how I may be able to make the embedded recovery image flashable? TWRP doesn't seem to be working at the moment with regard to decrypting and formatting /data but the stock recovery does. It can come in handy if there is a way to do it via mobile odin possibly or via some other program.

Right now I have stock recovery as I recently reflashed the Rom. At some point however I plan to go back to TWRP.
If I run into encryption problems and need to do a reset, I would like to see if I can flash TWRP using TWRP app while booted in safe mode (if I am able to get that far).
What do you think?

Hey thanks! So I did as you said and flashed the stock recovery from the deodexed rom and it's still TWRP. Strange isn't it? It would make sense if the deodexed ROM came with TWRP but when I initially flashed it I can confirm it was stock android.

Oh wait, I did something very wrong... fixing now...
Yay it worked, thanks a lot
I guess I should keep the stock recovery installed with this thing encrypted because TWRP seems broken (at least version 2.8.7.0). I emailed the developer about it.
Now I'm wondering for added flexibility, how I may be able to flash the stock recovery from MobileOdin. That seems to take .md5 files and not zips. Is this feasible to do?

Well thanks! Maybe you can point me toward the Windows way as I would like to do the same for the stock kernel, xposed, and the tethering addon.
fishinpercolator so are you having trouble with TWRP? What I did in FlashFire was flash the pre-rooted de-odexed ROM (that I linked earlier) then booted that. It was de-odexed and worked fine but boot took about 15 minutes (as it is de-odexed).
In FlashFire you need to hit the + and press Flash ZIP or OTA.
Then I installed FlashFire again (it was erased because I flashed a new ROM) and downloaded the Samsung 5.0 Xposed ZIP and flashed that in FlashFire using Flash ZIP or OTA. Basically since I have Knox 0x0, I use FlashFire as my "recovery" and it might be easier for you than finding a working TWRP image (although I am sure ShinySide is more than eager to help you). Then I installed the Xposed APK and had to reboot before it recognized the Xposed ZIP was installed.
After that, most Xposed modules started working for me.

I haven't used flashfire but will look into it. I've already tripped knox a while ago so that's not my prime concern. I want this phone to be encrypted and would like to learn a way to fix on the fly while on vacation (and without a laptop) in the event a catastrophe happens. It seems TWRP may not be removing the crypto footer when I format data as I still get the encryption password prompt.
Seems like flashfire allows you to flash roms from USB? I will need instructions for that.... <pokes around>
::update::
For some reason I thought flashfire was command line driven... I have Mobile Odin and I read that it contains flashfire, something worth looking into.
Is there a way to flash roms using ADB from a usb stick?
(NOTE- I should clarify, is there a way to flash from a command prompt assuming custom recovery is not installed and the phone is soft-bricked).

I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 using Odin and an autoroot file. After that failed, I researched how to restore my phone to its original OS. I have not been able to do that either. I either can only boot to the Odin Mode screen or am locked on the T-Mobile logo screen.
BTW, I am new to phone rooting so more detailed explanations would be appreciated.
Are you able to boot to recovery? [ home+volume up+power]
If so you can reset from there.
If not you should be able download the stock firmware and flash it with Odin.
FOL1 is the latest - it takes a long time to download from Sam's.

otisdog is right, sammobile takes forever to download which is why you should download the exact same file they linked to, but from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293882
Since cf-autoroot didn't work for you, you should just install TWRP with Odin and use TWRP to flash supersu zip, that's more or less what cf auto-root is doing anyway. Boot your phone into Odin mode (home, vol down, and power), connect your phone to PC with USB, and install twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar with Odin (AP button, auto-reboot option disabled). When the status bar is filled, you need to immediately boot into TWRP without rebooting system (this is where you hold down home, vol up, and power). In TWRP, install supersu zip file. Now wipe cache and dalvik
If you reboot to normal android before booting into TWRP and flashing the supersu zip when TWRP is first installed, the operating system will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, and you have to try again.
Thanks OtisDog and thisisapoorusernamechoice.
While I am downloading TMB-G900TUVS1FOL1-20160111153316, I tried your directions for installing TWRP and had success. I was able to boot into TWRP. (First boot success since I started 10 days ago.) I downloaded supersu zip and have it on my Windows 10 computer. I assume that I do not unzip it in Windows, correct?
From TWRP I clicked on Install and got the phone's files. When I clicked on Select Storage, the USB storage choice has 0MB so the option is disabled. Should I have started TWRP with my USB cable still connected? My computer still recognizes that I am connecting something to it while TWRP is running.
If that is not the problem, how do I install supersu zip into my phone?

The supersu zip needs to be in your phone's internal storage or micro SD card. USB storage is not used for this

Since my phone has no SD card slot, this sounds like a Catch 22. I can't get my phone to work without installing the supersu zip, but I can't install the supersu zip without getting my phone to work.
Fortunately, the file that OtisDog suggested DID work. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
My wife is also thrilled that I don't have a $160 brick. She sends hugs to both of you.

You don't need the SD card, you can put the supersu zip file in your phone's internal memory and flash it from there in TWRP. Also if you have a Galaxy S5, you have an SD card slot. It's on top of, yes literally on top of the SIM card slot, can be a little confusing and hard to see until you know what you're looking for (see attached pic for clarification, sorry for my halfassed paint job lol).

Thanks for the photo. That helps.
My latest problem is that every time I restart my phone, some shortcuts (Hi, Google; Gallery; magazines; exercise; camera) are added to my home screens and the default home screen is changed. I suspect that by clearing one of the caches, I can fix this. What do I need to do?
You can go into settings and find "backup and reset".
In there uncheck the backup and then do the factory reset. This will wipe all data and reload the os like when the phone was new - you can then put on it what you want.
MAKE SURE you have anything that's on the phone now, that you want, backed up on your computer because it will get wiped off the phone.
Once you get the phone to where you want it we can work on rooting it.

The instructions from thisis... worked great for me, although I accidentally did a full wipe from TWRP - no biggie, I was backed up. Thanks!
I appreciate the clear and concise instructions I've seen so far, I got as far as flashing superSU zip and wiping cache and dalvik, what next?

wouldn't it be nice if that just worked?
sorry, enough sarcasm, I'll clarify, I got that far with everything going as intended, but after reboot, it's not rooted (according to rootchecker) and I don't know why. Additional device info:
SM-G900T
running 4.4.2 (it doesn't want to let me update for some reason, and I thought maybe old versions might be easier to root)
Baseband Version G900TUVU1CNK2
Build # is KOT49H.G900TUVU1CNK2
(if there's other info you need, let me know.)

Yeah that's weird. Since you're running kit Kat should of installed system root. Or maybe I'm wrong on the zip being able to root kitkat/use system root instead of systemless.
Open the supersu app and see if it asks to update su binary
Otherwise I'd just try flashing it again in twrp or finding a much older supersu zip to flash. (Probably a 1.×× version)
You don't need to wipe caches tho.

You are flashing it in twrp correct?
Because you should have SuperSU installed then

Yes, I did, and no, it didn't.
Well, I eventually gave up on that root technique, and ended up using This instead, so now I'm running 6.0.1, and it seems to be working alright, but SuperSU says "The SU bianary needs to be updated!" and when I click it, it offers me the options of "normal" and "TWRP/CWM" as ways to install the SU bianary.
I know just enough to know that I don't know what I'm doing, and thought I'd get some advice before I proceed to screw something up.
Which option should I go for, and if TWRP, do I need to re-flash it with Odin like I did to install the 6.0.1 ROM, or is the process different now?

I always just click normal. Then it'll ask to reboot and just allow it and you'll be good to go

there's no flashing option on stock recovery.
Only at TWRP (or other custom recovery) Flash directly from there.
Rooting has nothin to do with it.

Oh, that error means the ROM might be faulty or you're flashing the wrong one.
Be ensure of the ROM first.
Redownload and check.
