I am not a developer at all , just got a working method from different web sources. so i think posting this method will help all A5 users. hope it helps you ...
Note: This Method Will Set Your KNOX Status As 0x1 , That Means Your Warranty Will Be Void Forever.

Root Process:
Step 1: So A5 has many variants under it and so i have provided chain fire root kit for all of them, so choose the kit as per your device model and download it on your PC. Once downloaded you have to create a folder named A5 on desktop and extract the contents of the downloaded zip file inside it.
Step 2 : After you do the above step now you have to download the famous Odin for A5 which will utilize the above kit and root your A5 .
Step 3 : Now we need our device in download mode so to do that turn off your A5 and then press home button along with the power button and the down button of volume all of them together until the mode loads up.
When mode loads up you have to use the USB cable to connect the device to PC.
Step 4 : Now when you open the Odin software which you just now installed on your computer, you will see a message saying added which means that A5 is added to Odin.
Step 5 : Once added you will see a button on which PDA/AP is written which upon clicking you have to select a file named .tar.md5 from the extracted folder which you kept on desktop.
Step 6 :After you do that, you will have to for sure follow this point before hitting start so click on F.Reset time and Auto reboot options and then you can click start.
Step 7 : When you hit start the Odin by using the root kit files, will root your device and will take around 2 – 3 minutes may be less then that to complete its process and when it is done successfully then it will show a message saying PASS which means the root access has been achieved on A5 , If Failed Follow Below Steps
Here is a problem , If ODIN saying RESET then your device will be rebooted and rooted successfully but it already destroyed boot.img and recovery.img . don't worry we are going to solve this issue with some simple steps. Download Falshify from above links and install after that download firmware for your device from above links then rename the Firmware_File_Name.tar.md5 to Firmware_File_Name.tar then open it using winrar and extract boot.img , recovery.img then copy it to your device storage and flash both of them using Flashify . don't reboot after flashing one image,flash both image then reboot.

has anyone tried this
you can try this ...
Didn't work on my A5 A500M on Android Lollipop 5.0.2
What can I do? I followed all steps and did also the last one, because ODIN said RESET after flashing the root file. And after extracting and flashing the both .img files my cellphone didn't boot the system, it just went into the recovery when I tried to boot it normally. So I flash the firmware again with ODIN.
I just want to know:
1) What really happens when ODIN says RESET after flashing a file? You said that at that point the files "recovery.img" and "boot.img" are destroyed. What do you really mean with that? Are they deleted from the cellphone?
2) Mean this that the cellphone won't boot anymore if turn it off and then try to turn it on again?
3) What would happen if I flash the Root file and ODIN says RESET after flashing but I don't flash the both .img files? Would my cellphone work normally or not?
Thank you very much and sorry for so many questions, I'm kind of new to this!
Why make a topic about this ? Its just ChainFire-Autoroot.
Anyway, ChainFire is boss

Welcome back to the 21st century.
Galaxy A5 (SM-A500H) error
Samsung A500H returns "Could not do normal boot"
Related
Hi this tutorial is for them who wants to upgrade to Android 6.0 on J5 and also for those who wants to downgrade back to 5.1 on their J5 (2015) manually using odin.
This tutorial will be divided into three section upgrade, downgrade and rooting.
Upgrade to Android 6.0
As Samsung has started rolling out android 6.0 for J5 (2015) model. It will be available to all the regions sooner or later on most of the models of J5. Incase if you are not getting OTA update of android 6.0 on your country and are curious to try Android Marshmallow, you can try to flash android 6.0 available for other country. For example: If you have J500H model and android 6.0 for J500H is available for some other countries but not in your country than you can download android 6.0 firmware of those countries and flash it through Odin.
Note: The model number of J5 should be same for example you cannot flash J500F firmware to J500H ,
you can only flash firmware of J500H to J500H, countries or area does not matter as long as the
device model is same.
Procedure:
1. Go to the link below and search for firmware for your device. (Eg: Galaxy J500H)
2. You will find firmware for various regions and android version. Download the android 6.0 firmware for your
region. If you don’t get android 6.0 for your region than download android 6.0 available for any region as you
prefer.
3. Download odin from the link below.
4. Backup any necessary things like apps, contacts or files as you may loose them.
5. Now follow the instruction given below and flash android 6.0 to your j5.
PRE-REQUIREMENTS:
Download & Install Galaxy USB Driver on your computer,
Enable USB debugging on your Galaxy J5 smartphone and OEM unlocking.
Your phone battery should be at 80% or above.
How to Install Stock Rom on Galaxy J5
1 . After downloading the Galaxy J5 Firmware and Odin software files from the download section.
2. Extract/unzip both files on your computer.
3. Now, boot your Samsung Galaxy J5 into download mode. To do that turn off the phone, after the phone is off,
press and hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons at the same time.
4. Connect your Galaxy J5 to your computer using USB Cable and wait till Odin software detects it. Once, Odin
software detects your phone, you will see the Added message on Odin.
5. Before installing the stock firmware on Galaxy J5 make sure that both Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are selected.
Then, click on the AP button on Odin software and select the stock Rom where you have previously extracted it.
Now click start button. Odin will start flashing.
6. In the end, on the Odin software the pass message should be displayed and your Samsung Galaxy J5 will
reboot automatically.
7. Congratulation you have upgraded to android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Detailed tutorial for flashing via Odin:
https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin
Downloads:
1. Firmware
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model
2. USB driver
https://androidmtk.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers
3. Odin
https://androidmtk.com/download-odin-downloader-versions
Downgrade to Android 5.1.1
Incase if you don’t like android 6.0 and want to downgrade you can downgrade to android 5.1.1 by following these
steps.
1. Download 5.1.1 firmware for your region from the given link.
2. Follow the steps provided in above upgrade tutorial and flash the firmware using the Odin.
Rooting:
For rooting your J5 on Android 6.0 as well as Android 5.1.1 follow these steps.
1. Download the TWRP recovery from the link below.
Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) ( Thanks @Nick Verse for TWRP recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3338869
Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) (Thanks @ganesh varma for TWRP recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960
2. Download Supersu zip from the link below
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
For Marshmallow Users if you are facing bootloop after flashing supersu.zip . Flash the supersu file given in the link below.
https://mega.nz/#!zNVBhKjb!FZFKq6vaIPudYMoIajb-3zwuLOC26OHtdYY_TKt-6Qs (Thanks @jka_dark28 for link)
3. Now flash downloaded TWRP via Odin. (Follow the same process to Flash)
4. Transfer supersu zip file to your sd card.
5. After flashing TWRP. Reboot to recovery by pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power Button.
6. Now in TWRP select install, locate your Supersu zip file and flash it.
7. Than reboot your device. Congratulation you have rooted your device.
Note: Flashing TWRP and Supersu will void your warranty. So think before you flash. After flashing
TWRP do a nandroid backup first before flashing anything (even supersu file) so that if anything
goes wrong you can restore back.
And most important do everything on your own risk. I will not be responsible to any damage made to your device. But if you follow the process carefully you will not face any problem.
Hope this tutorial will help you all who don't have idea about these things.
Do write your comments and Hit thanks if it helped you.:laugh::good:

I'm trying to root it.
Just flash twrp via odin. And install supersu zip via twrp. And remember it will void your warranty. One more thing do a nandroid backup before flashing anything.
Do I need to unlock bootloader before flashing twrp.? If it is required how can I do it on Samsung galaxy J500H running marshmallow 6.0.1?
Thank you

You have to enable USB debugging on your Galaxy J5 and OEM unlocking by going into developer Options. To enable developer option go to system, About Phone, and tap Build number 5/6 times. Let me know if you need more help.
.yeah it helped but my phone is stuck at samsung.

I did both however my phone simply does not boot into twrp.. Odin said passed and knox is tripped.

Untick the Auto Reboot from the options in Odin and flash the recovery. After flashing finishes,power off the device(by removing battery) and hold [ VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER] to enter into the recovery and swipe to 'allow modifications'. Hope This will help you.

Downgrade
Hi All!
If I want to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 via Odin, is it sure, that I need only one AP/PDA file from firmware sites?
Because I remember with an older phone, that if I need to downgrade, it need the other files too - Bootloader, Phone, CSC.
Is it sure that there is no need for them? If it, where can I download them?
Thanks!
Hello mate, I have gone back and forward from LP - MM a number of times.
I have had no problem with it as all.
I just flashed the firmware from from Sam mobile ( there are lots us links through out the ROMs thread)
I have only had to put the file into the AP and flashed no problem.
Just mage sure that the firmware is the correct one for your model

Hey, I have a SM J500F 6.0.1, can I root it the same way as an 6.0 or do I have tobdo anything diferent??
I Suggest that if your device won't pass Samsung logo, put it in recovery mode and Factory Reset.
I Had that issue and i solved it doing that.:fingers-crossed:
Do I need stock recovery to only root my J5?? And will I lose all my data if I root it??

So I finally managed to root A800F 6.0.1 thanks to @rs1981
Link for TWRP: http://www.4shared.com/get/oUigxM-6ba/TWRP_302-0.html
Downloaded supersu from:
Http://viid.me/qqB1fh
1. Make sure usb debugging is on and oem unlock is on
2. copy supersu file into phone
3. Turn off phone and go into download mode (vol down+home+power)
4. Connect to pc and flash TWRP file via odine (make sure you untick autoreboot)
5. When flash passes unplug phone and hold (vol down+home+power) immediately once the screen turns black switch to (vol up+home+power) even if you see the red error keep holding and TWRP will open
6. Flash the Supersu file that you copied from TWRP and wipe delvik cache then reboot to system
Supersu should be installed and you should have root.
Thanks again @rs1981

Hey
Yesterday I flashed a boot logo on my SM-G928F in TWRP. After that my phone doesn't boot into system or recovery anymore - there's always a blackscreen. I only can boot into download mode.
I tried to flash a stock-rom via Odin but that didn't helped - the same blackscreen, because a stock rom does not replace the boot logo.
I think I have to flash the stock boot logo ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1378RQ5w_vAAmnQ3HB0FymZXWIm12T0Mg/view ) , but thats a zip which I can't flash via Odin.
There a two ways in my mind which could work:
1. Getting a tar.md5 file with the stock boot logo.
2. Getting a tool which allows to flash zips in download mode of the phone.
I really hope that someone could help me with my big problem.
Best regards
DGB
Hey there
I recommend to flash the firmware again but this time after flashing firmware flash the twrp and flash the zip via adb sideload ( a feature present in TWRP) as by adb sideload one is able to flash zip files as well
Or i recommend you to get to know the combination of keys that will help you to directly enter into recovery
Hope it will work
And if there is any problem let me know
As in the internet there are various ways by which a person can flash the custom rom and custom recovery via odin
Look at this link:-

Thank you for your answer but that didn't worked. The problem is that flashing the stock firmware doesn't replace or repair the boot image. So I've got a never ending blackscreen when I want to boot in system or TWRP/Recovery and that means that I'm not able to configure ADB Sideload.
I can only boot into download mode, nothing else.
I think the jpg of the boot logo I've installed was corrupted so it can't be loaded
You are in download mode so you have to press all the keys including the home button and once the download mode closes then press the "volume up key and power key and also the home button and then your phone will automatically reboot into recovery.
I know, I tried that multiple times but it doesn't work. Blackscreen... only a never ending blackscreen. The download mode is the only thing taht works. I have to flahs the old boot logo via download mode... but i don't know how
Wait for the battery to be drained out completely and then do what i said earlier

I did. but it didn't work, too
I really need someone who is able to integrate the stock boot logo into a custom rom which can be flashed via Odin... Or I need a tool which allows to install zips in download mode. I tried adb sideload again but it didn't recognizes my phone when its not in recovery.
I really think that my S6 edge + is nearly died :crying:

Not even flashing a factory firmware (4 files with pit) with repartition option selected?

I only tried to flash stock firmware with AP in Odin... and I tried stock rom with re-partition.
Where do I get those 4 files? I need XEU for my SM-G928F. It would be very nice if you could give me a more detailed instruction for this because I never worked with PIT...
get samfirm v0.3.6
On the model you put sm-g928f, region XEU, tick the binary nature box and press "check update". Download the resulting file, that is a factory firmware to do repairs in a 4 files format: bootloader, pda or ap, modem or cp and csc!
You will get this file:
SM-G928F_1_20180305151001_nsg8uwd0sh_fac.zip
Put each file in the correct field in odin!
About combination firmware, it needs to be same binary version as stock firmware already programed on phone! if first number on firmware version is a 3, combination FW need to be also bin 3!
G928FXXS4CRB4 if is 4, you need comb fw also in bin 4! if you downgrade you get odin error and a softbrick!
Was checking if any comb. fw is available, but i find only paid files for your phone model!

It worked means you got your phone back to normal or you could get the firmware using samfirm?
Pit file is always inside csc file on a 4 files fac firmware. Use the pit on firmware because the pit from your link can be from a early version of android and have different bits for partition sizes!
EDIT: Here, got the combination fw for the binary 4. IF your phone is already ok, don't use this!

This link worked for me: https://www.full-repair-firmware.com/2019/10/how-to-root-a107m-9.0.html
Although I didn't use the BL from the (in my case TELCEL SM-A107M) firmware, I downloaded this Boot file (I don't remember from where ), it is for A107MUBU3ASI4:
https://mega.nz/#!tRgXgCTI!dHdQPB-MSQ7Znpm7d-Nme7lwwc_w2-im75putNHxgtM
SO I copied the boot file to the sdcard, ran magisk manager on the phone, selected patch boot image and selected the boot image on the sdcard for patching, after the patching is done, I copied the image back to the PC, started Odin, booted the phone to download mode (turn it off, connect the phone to the usb cable press power button to start the phone, then release the power button and press both volume buttons until it boots to download mode), then when Odin detected the phone I clicked the AP button on Odin, selected the patched boot file that I copied from the phone and then clicked on the Start button to flash the image, then when Odin finished, the phone booted automatically ... the tutorial says that the phone will ask for a factory reset and delete all the phone info, but in my case it didn't asked for nothing nor deleted my data, so I got root without losing information, as soon as the phone booted it was already rooted an root was working witout me having to do anything.
The first time I rooted my phone I installed xposed framework, then had some troubles with the beta version, got a bootloop and had to re-flash the original firmware, BUT when I tried to reflash the patched boot image I got the PreNormal message and had to wait a week to root again my phone .
So I googled and then found some info about the KG/RMM problem, but couldn't find a zip that worked for the SM-A107M, also since there is no TWRP available to this model, I wouldn't be able to flash the zip anyway, but I found that deleting this files:
libvkjni.so
libvkmanager.so
libvkservice.so
KnoxGuard.apk/Rlc.apk
will disable the service.
The first 3 are in the system/lib directory, the knoxGuard apk is in the priv-app/knoxGuard directory.
So I rooted the phone again (after waiting 7 day to prenormal to end) and in the first boot I
installed "Root Explorer" from the play store (Any file manager with root privileges will work) and deleted 4 of those files (the RLC.apk I couldn't find) and after 2 weeks of rebooting, reinstalling xposed, getting the bootloop problem again , re-flashing original firmware (without the KG/RMM prenormal state), re-rooting, and finally installing xposed without problems (in my phone the 4.6.0 beta version didn't work so I inistalled the 4.5.1 beta) I am happy with my rooted, xposed phone.
I would really like if somebody created/xported a TWRP for this model, but in the interim all is good the ends good.
Regards
:good: Thanks for the wonderful information .... But the problem I have is KGG / RM PRENORMAL STATE .... must do cancellation of the first ...
If you have already Prenormal state, then you have to wait 7 days, dont turn off your phone, don't restart and don't disconnect from the internet, then after the 7 days (168 hrs) the prenormal state should disappear!
Check this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
Best Regards
I did not find prenormal state or normal.....
I found : KG status : checking
OEM unlock : off
Then, if not in prenormal, you should be able to flash and root your phone!

Good night
Unfortunately .... this root method did not work for me .... via Magisk ... I don't know what the problem is .... but this method did not work for me which is in many websites and it is the same way .... As follows my device info :
Ap: A107FXXU3ASJ5
CP: A107FXXU3ASJ1
CSC: A107FOJM3ASJ5
Model: sm- A107F / DS
The same method is used by everyone via Magisk ...
My device have no problem:
Unlocking the device bootloader
OEM unlock: off
Kg status: checking
I have no prenormal state
I followed all the steps on the sites
1- I downloaded Galaxy A10S Firmware
2- I downloaded and installed the latest Magisk Manager app.
3- Copied only the boot.img file from the extracted folder to a device storage.
4- opened the Magisk Manager app then clicked on on “Patch Boot Image File”.
5- when patched boot img finished from Magisk .... I renamed to boot.img and used 7zip and archived it to .tar format ....
6- I flashed via Odin in download mode but I got on fail .....
I don't know what problem ...
But this is what happened !!!!
Did you use the boot image (BL) I posted on the second post??
Download the file, copy it to your phone, use magisk manager to patch it, copy patched image to pc, flash via Odin to your phone.
Regards
No, I didn't use that boot img .... It the same : A107F .... A107M.. ???
I will try later.
I used that boot in your post .... for A107m.... l flashed via Odin in my A107F ... It's flashed in my device.... but when I boot to Magisk..... no root........ for that I think will wait someone to create twrp for galaxy A10s then I flash root.... Thanks for everything....
anybody with A107F firmware pls. i need to try to root mine.

....
This is TWRP 3.3.1.0 beta for galaxy A107F.... It's working????
.... Are you tested that ????
It is in img format and not in tar ... do we have to convert it to tar to flash it via odin?.
....
What do i need to do to make the oem unlock option appear again?
I've already tried the turning off updates and changing dates thing.
And I waited out the 7 days ( Which was difficult since my IP doesnt have a stable connection.)
I've started doubting if it even exists at all.
I only got my A10s for free from a carrier plan.
KG Status is Normal
OEM is still locked and nowhere to be seen

If you made all the attempts and didn't succeed with you ... Install the stock firmware for your country ... and you delay the date a few months earlier ... then go to update the program .... then you should have an OEM unlock

And how does one Install a "different/new" firmware?
I remember doing it once or twice with Odin with a firmware I got from sammobile SMA-107f.
Succeeded. Although I don't know if it actually worked, since it booted up just like the first time I got it, with the carriers default wallpaper and pre-loaded apps.
I've been trying to root the SM-A107F for weeks now but no luck.. Any help will be appreciated

This is very interesting. KG State has been non existent on my device, I can flash modified firmware since day 1. I'll try this, I tried patching the whole AP_ file and there are problems with the signal, I did not try only patching the boot.img
Thanks!

when you flash the patched AP.tar you should also be flashing it with the rest of the firmware.. tjw even says somewhere on his github you shouldnt flash the patched AP by itself

I currently have a Samsung galaxy A105F/DS-U3 and it supports treble and seamless update - a/b. I have searched and it has lineageOS , Paranoid android and ViperOS. I'm gonna try LineageOS 17.0 - which gives me Anddroid Q. I'll let you know if i find one for you.

You have the A10, which is a bit different than the A10s so it is most likely that any GSI that boots to your phone will not boot for mine. Besides, A10s does not have TWRP yet and A10 does

how to root SM-A107f Samsung Galaxy A10s
ShaDisNX255 said:
Yes.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so this is what i did to root my A10s.
1. check what binary your phone is running I already updated mine so my phone is on Android 10 binary 6.
how to check your binary - goto setings-about phone-software info, check Baseband version so on my phone its A107FXXU6BTES the U6 indicates your binary some has U3 binary 3 or U5, S5 binary 5
once you determined your binary.
2. activate DEVELOPER OPTIONS then activate OEM UNLOCK
samfw.com/firmware/SM-A107F/XTC/A107FXXU6BTF
go to this website and download the appropriate firmware.
each will contain a BL, AP, CP, and Home_CSC.
3. once finished downloading unlock your bootloader just boot to download mode then there is an option to press and HOLD VOLUME UP to unlock bootloader then press volume up again. if it didn't reboot instantly press and hold volume up and down again just do it again until when you choose to unlockbootloader it will reboot instatly.
4. after unlocking bootloader just go through the entire process of setting up your phone keep the bootloader unlock, INSTALL Magisk manager, so yeah install magisk choose patch image then from your downloaded firmware remove the "MD5" at the end of the files so it will be AP_A107F.tar then choose the AP to patch hrough magisk
5. after patching copy the patched file to your PC extract it by WINRAR get the boot.img if its boot.img.lz4 it means patch was not sucessful
6. after getting the boot.img copy it to your phone again and patch again make sure to rename it boot.img from inside the generated patch file then compress it as TAR using 7zip
7. flash it through odin on AP section and there your magisk rooted.
sorry for the long post

Hi '''Mirloo''''About rooting the (Samsung Galaxy 10s SM-A107f) I have tried most of the rooting akps with no luck (cfautoroot I have not tried yet)'''''''As for using Odin & magisk I am getting so many different instructions from different posts
1 unlock the bootloader This I have done successfully
The next steps using Magisk & Odin Start to get misleading
one site says Copy the AP to your phone and patch it where another site says says change the format of the AP file to tar by deleting .mds then copy it to your phone
I seem to get confused now as what to do next ''''Please could you give me full instructions ....Thank you
I have attempted to patch boot.img around 7 times unsuccessfully, I have the SM-A107F, can someone please send me the correctly patched boot image for my device, will be much appreciated.

I'm also waiting for this. Tried flashing twrp recovery using odin but I failed. The error says "only official binaries are allowed to be flashed" tried flashing the original firmware but same error. Wondering why.
