■Explanation By Arter97
The Old_SBoot.tar includes sboot.bin(bootloader) from older Android Lollipop firmware, which allows us to use custom recovery that uses Android L kernel.
After we boot on the custom recovery, we can root.
But since the newer Android M kernel is not compatible with older sboot.bin, we have to re-install the newer sboot.bin. The New_SBoot.tar.md5 serves that purpose.
If you need stock recovery for some reason, use recovery.tar from http://arter97.com/browse/S6/M/root
You will not be able to get future Android M firmware updates after you follow this guide. You must re-install stock firmware to do that.
You have to repeat installing Old_SBoot.tar.md5 and New_SBoot.tar.md5 if you want to use custom recovery.
If you are stuck on the "Galaxy S6 edge" boot logo, or reboots, try re-installing New_SBoot.tar.md5

Samsung S6 Edge (SM-G925F) Android 6.0
Hi, I have followed these steps to try and install Android 6.0 on my device, but it keeps getting into a bootloop and won't boot up, has anyone got a fix for this or got the Android 6.0 (SM-G925F) file to flash with Odin and point me in the right direction.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Okay inflashed the old bootloader, went to recovery and flashed xposed. After this I flashed back the new bootloader and all good. Only problem is that the deep sleep fix seems not work.
After download the fix it's called 000000deepsleep.txt but in this tutorial it says xxxxxxxxxx.txt. Do I need to rename it?

This is for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition with android 4.4.2 and 5.x.x with model number SM-P600 not the SM-P601
This page HERE has step by step instructions if you are confused, however, it is fairly simple and just a few steps if you are familiar with the process already.
1. Download Root file HERE
2. Extract that file
3. Make sure USB Debugging is Check on Setting>General>Developer Option
4. If Developer Options do not appear anywhere, go to Setting>General>About Device. Then hit build number several times until it says Developer Options have been turned on.
5. Turn Off The Note 10.1, than go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down+Power buttons together (long press until the boot screen appear), now press Volume Up key to proceed to Download Mode.
6. Now connect your Galaxy Note 10.1 P600 to your computer via USB cable
7. In Odin3 screen, you should see a COM Port number like “0:[COMX]” at ID:COM section and “Added!” text at the message box. This means your device has been detected by Odin3.
8. Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are checked.
9. Now, click on the AP (PDA in older Odin) button and select the CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5 file.
10. Finally, click on the Start button to begin the rooting process, wait up to a few minutes
11. Once completed, you would see “PASS!” message in ID:COM port having green background
*Your Tablet should automatically reboot after completion. You can now disconnect your Tablet from computer
**Also, you should open up SuperSU and update the binary the normal way not TWRP/CWM. That mode did not work for me so do normal.
Attached is the file you can also download from step 1.

this change the knox count, right?
Only Towelroot works without triggering knox. But its not available for exynos SoCs.
Can't get this to work unfortunately am running stock 4.4.2 and it flashes just fine via odin, goes to the "loading" root procedure with the pirate android but no Su gets installed nor is it rooted (as verified with root checking apps including manually installing super su)
Device; SM-P600
Build: K0T49H.P600UEUCNI1
Android Version: 4.4.2
Kernel version: 3.4.39-1462259
Device Status: Custom (??)
Update; Ah it might be due to the firmware I am using. Going to try retry this with UEUCND2 and see if this is absolved.
Update 2 (update to above); OK Kies just flashes the NK2 rather than the ND2... this also does not work so just waiting for ND2 to finish downloading.
Update 3; yup! Flashing ND2 worked just fine. Super Su wasn't installed but it was rooted so just manually installing is no biggie. Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. I saw the NK2 update on Kies but didn't get it after I read your post, so I was able to root ND2 using this thread. I read that NK2 fixes some issues with Chromecast though, so I'd still like to update to that if possible. OTA updates now don't work, but when I connect to Kies, it still asks if I want to upgrade to NK2. Has anyone tried this from ND2 and successfully kept root using SuperSU "Survival Mode"? If not, any other way to get to NK2 stock rooted? Thanks.
Update: Well I installed TWRP to make a Nandroid backup so I could give the Kies upgrade to NK2 a try. (I thought it could save me some time reinstalling and customizing things.) Kies downloads the NK2 firmware, reboots the tablet into download mode, but then fails saying the device is unsupported. I'm assuming it's because of the TWRP recovery. I don't know if it's worth flashing back to the stock recovery and trying again and then reflashing TWRP to attempt to root it with the SuperSU zip (if necessary). Really this is all a little beyond my experience level...
NK2 worked fine for me people (Just so you guys don't have to wait an hour to download firmware from Sammobiles free website)

Can you expand on this please. I was unaware that twrp could also root the device. If this is the case then I would choose this option since it will do both things we need in one step (root and install recovery)

I odin the latest twrp. Boot to recovery. Reboot to system within twrp. Prior to it rebooting, It will ask if you want to root it. I think the default is yes. So just acknowledge it and it roots it, boots to system and Super SU will be installed. Click on Super SU and update it and you should be good to go.
Technically, this method should work with any device that has an unlockable bootloader. I usually use this method for all my devices.

What version of TWRP are you using to root? I can't get CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600 or autorootp600mj4.tar.md5 to root. It goes through the process but I have no super user.

I also tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it just freeze upon entering TWRP. Please help. I'm on Kitkat 4.4.2

ATTENTION! Do NOT use the download links for Odin in the OP! It has been reported that the link will install malware on your computer. If you need Odin 3.07 or 3.09, I have attached them to the bottom of this post, both files are 100% safe. They're zip files, just extract the folder inside to your desktop; to run Odin just double click the .exe file, yes it's that easy. @Faiyaz5yaz thank you for making this thread, it is always a good thing to instruct users how to root their devices, but please either change the Odin download link or at the very least remove it from the OP. Unfortunately it messed up another user's computer so bad he had to reinstall windows

C,
when you flash recovery with odin you must DESELECT auto restart.
when the flash is done [res-ok] disconnect your tab and manually reboot to RECOVERY.
then reboot as normal.

Thanks TWRP works great on my Tab 4 T231
:good:
Since a lot of members has been asking for this, I thought I would create a guide to help them:
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis caused by you following these directions. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point your finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
PLEASE NOTE!!!!
FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE MAY RESULT IN A BRICKED DEVICE IF FOLLOWED INCORRECTLY.
Step 1:
Download the recovery firmware for your model from here http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ader-csc-pit-files&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 which includes the BL, CP, CP, CSC images, and unzip it. MAKE SURE IT IS THE KITKAT FIRMWARE.
Step 2:
Go to www.sammobile.com and download the original firmware for your device and unzip it. MAKE SURE IT IS THE KITKAT FIRMWARE.
Step 3:
Reboot into Recovery Mode by pressing Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.
Step 4:
Wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache.
Step 5:
Reboot into Download Mode by pressing Volume DOWN + Home + Power until you get the download screen. Press Volume UP to continue.
Step 5:
In Odin make sure you load the files you downloaded in STEP 1. Load only the BL, AP, CP, CSC files (do not load the PIT) and make sure that you also check "Phone Bootloader Update". Then press Start. Wait for flashing to finish.
Note:
The phone should have booted properly, since the correct bootloader was flashed!
Step 6:
Go to Odin again. Now load the firmware you downloaded in STEP 2. This time load only the AP file and uncheck "Phone Bootloader Update" and press Start. Wait for flashing to finish.
Note:
The phone should have booted properly.
Step 7:
Repeat step 3 and 4, and reboot!

@jnvdh06,first thank you for this great tutorial,second,I have 2 questions :
1. does this process require root ?
2.does this process void knox warranty ?
thanks in advance
No root is required.
In theory it should not trip Knox as you are sticking to official firmwares
did exactly this like one month ago, can attest it works. Didn't trip knox
Thank you very much I succesful downgraded my Galaxy A3 from lollipop to Kitkat

The files are for A500FU
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
would only use a kitkat custom ROM like cm pa ect thanks for your work but a touchwiz KitKat ROM no thank you that's my taste but thanks again
Is this still safe???
This device is more reasonable to buy as it is small and elegant at a decent price.
It is IP68 water-friendly device and the display is much better - higher FPS than on higher resolution OLEDs - good for action games.
Root using CF-autoroot
Download the file from CF-auto-root repository:
https://download.chainfire.eu/1090/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-a3y17lte-a3y17ltexx-sma320f.zip
WARNING! KNOKX will be: tripped. E-fuse: << BLOWN >> Warranty: VOID!
If you have Nougat or after update to Android 7.0:
https://download.chainfire.eu/1090/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-a3y17lte-a3y17ltexx-sma320f.zip
Wipe data + cache before
Flash CF-autoroot before device initial configuration
WARNING! KNOKX will be: tripped. E-fuse: << BLOWN >> Warranty: VOID!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unzip the file
Run Odin from the unzipped folder
Browse by clicking AP button the *.md5 file from the unzipped folder
Connect the A320F in download mode (start the device by holding Power+Home+Volume DOWN)
After starting the device in download mode, press Volume UP one to allow the download
A new COM port should be recognized by Odin after the device is connected via USB
Press Start button in in Odin
Rooting will take place automatically and the device will restart twice.
After the first restart you can disconnect the cable from the PC.
Second restart might take a few minutes.
After that you will find the SuperSU app installed.
Other, more complicated methods:
Rooting using custom recovery:
You will need:
SM-A320F with Exynos CPU (waiting for updates on other model)
Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 on your device
Odin v3.0.4 (download link below)
Team Win Recovery Project - TWRP (download link here) or ClockWork Mod Custom Recovery - CWM (download link below)
(Recommended custom recovery: Team Win Recovery Project :good: - more features, newer, works better)
SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 (latest ZIP version available today - download link below)
SM-A320F TWRP & CWM recovery installation procedure:
On your device enable developer options and then disable OEM lock (FRP lock) for the device to allow you to flash custom recovery
(Activate OEM unlock from developer options menu)
Boot your device in Odin downlaod mode (hold VolDOWN + Home + Power)
Flash the *.tar file of TWRP or for the CWM using Odin's PDA option
(Uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time)
Force reboot your device (hold VolDOWN + Power for 10 seconds)
SM-A320F SuperSU ZIP installation procedure:
Copy SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip on a microSD card (trough USB data cable or any other method)
Unplug the USB data cable from the phone and shut down the device
Start your device in Recovery mode (Hold VolUP + Home + Power)
(RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCED - this warning is normal when booting into CWM custom recovery but not with TWRP)
The recovery menu will appear
> Using TWRP Recovery:
Swipe to allow modifications
Tap on Install
Tap on Select Storage at the bottom and select MicroSDCard then tap OK
Browse for the SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip and tap on it to install it
Swipe to install SuperSU (confirm Flash)
> Using CWM Recovery:
Select Install zip update package (use VolDOWN/VolUP to navigate and Power to select)
Select Choose zip from sdcard
Select SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip and press Power to install Super SU
The installation will perform automatically and the device will reboot twice.
First reboot will take longer. Please be patient. After the second reboot you will have SuperSU and root.
Downsides/bugs:
Knox will be tripped the second you flash a custom recovery (Warranty void: 1 - non reversibile)
(That means that you will lose the warranty for your device and that can not be changed)
(Perhaps that's why I personally can't invest more than $300 in a Samsung cellphone ever)
You won't be able to use Knox-related functions including Secure Folder ever again
Because of a SuperSU bug you won't be able to use Smart View (Miracast, project the screen to smart TV) unless you make an edit as follows:
Lewdog45 said:
Use a file browser such as Root Browser and go to the root of your device then locate the "System" folder and find build.prop and edit it with any application that can edit it and find the bottom line, right at the edge of the bottom line you need to press enter twice and then paste this:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
And then save it and reboot your device.

Special thanks to: ashyx for compiling and updating TWRP recovery for SM-A320F and to XN Logos for providing compatible CWM recovery with SM-A320F.
Please feel free to post your attempts on rooting this device and the results. If other methods will show-up I will include them up here.

Ok good then I will remove my earlier post. I don't have the device so I can't try it.
I tried again this morning with success!
I can have access to recovery but not to sd card (internal or no)... so I can't root the device.
Any idea?

Format the SD card on your PC using FAT32 option (use an USB adapter).
Copy the zip on the card, Insert it into the phone and reboot into recovery to test.
Yes... that's what I did. I found the solution into Google.
Thanks anyway for your help.
Do you think that it will be possible to install TWRP instead of CWM in recovery?

Yes. You can flash twrp in cwm and reboot to recovery. Twrp will be there instead.
wich version to choose?
Sorry. There's no twrp for a320 yet, but in general it's working fine to flash new recovery with existing one.
Hey guys, I will receive my a3 2017 soon and I was wondering if it would be preferable to root it now than waiting for the update to Nougat and re-root it then... Any idea when the update will be available for this phone? I was also wondering if I should use a specific brand or type of micro sd card with this phone?
Thanks
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII ( GT-I9100 ) which was retrieved from a dumpster. I love the removable battery. I would like to know what custom firmware you recommend for it. I could also use any tutorials you recommend to flash it. I have looked at some but I wonder which is best for my requirements:
* The latest Android release is unimportant (I can live with Android 5.0 to be honest)
* Having Google bundled apps is unimportant (all Google apps will be uninstalled, if present).
* I want the good reliability / stability and no alpha or beta releases.
I am only interested in root access & reliable firmware with which I can install open-source apps from f-droid.org. Thanks for any suggestions.

Lineage OS 17.1 Android 10, that works pretty well.
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10.0.0][r41][I9100] LineageOS 17.1
/* ** Your warranty is now void. ** ** We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, ** thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please ** do some research if you have any concerns about features included...

Another opportunity for you would be replicant. It is based on LineageOS, but tries to run on free-software only and a mainlined kernel. They don't ship with any google apps and and offer Android 6 (currently upgrading to Android 9 for all of their devices.
You will need modified TWRP to flash this and do not ask me why.
You need odin 3.07 as it is the last version of odin that supports S II.
Odin 3.07 https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-07
Update offically to 4.1.2, Delete All Samsung and Google accounts, go to settings and phone information, click 7 times build number（Just randomly click All numbers 7x and you will eventually done）, go back to settings, click on developer Options, and toggle BOTH oem unlock and USB debugging.
Then follow below steps

I downloaded both the Replicant files and the Lineage files. I had a look at replicant and the set-up seems to be a lot more invovled, so I have decided to do Lineage first. The firmware download size with Replicant is much less bloated, which appeals to me, especially for older hardware. So I will probably try that eventually.

I gave it a quick attempt yesterday. In Developer Options I found "USB debugging" but there was no "OEM Unlock" setting anywhere. In any case, I proceeded:
Odin says:
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
I'm led to believe I need to get the Samsung drivers so I will do that later today. I have read that installing Kies installs the drivers so maybe that's the best route.

Tutorial https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAF6BAgIEAE&usg=AOvVaw3cA8ZHKR3yqQaY6NvHnO4I
Then you can open rashr. download this TWRP as rashr only flashes.img files. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682894303
select RECOVERY FROM STORAGE and select the .img TWRP.
it will ask you to reboot recovery .

Not sure. I haven't put a SIM card in this thing at all. Does having no OEM Unlock option mean that it's locked to a single carrier? I literally found this phone in the dumpster and I will be using it on wi-fi (occasionally) and offline (mostly).
Re: Kingroot
Not keen on this at all since I have read it is malware.

glad to see that, also one click root apps can do whatever they want like installing a malicious app without permission and hack device, though I bite the bullet and tried on my xperia c.
very reasonable doubt
Lineage is installed. However, it is still unrooted. Does anyone have any tips for getting this rooted?
=======
* I have tried the Magisk app and patching "boot.img" several times. That resulted in an error: Unsupported / invalid file, or words to that effect.
* I have tried downloading the Magisk zip file using the Magisk app. I tried flashing that freshly-downloaded Magisk zip file in TWRP. No go. Error: 1
* I have tried downloading various Magisk zip files off Github and flashing in TWRP. No go. Error: 1
* I have tried the official TWRP app that seemed to insist on downloading an official I9100 TWRP file. I flashed this TWRP file using my existing TWRP Recovery. After that, I couldn't get into Recovery at all (using the 3 finger salute). It would always just boot LineageOS instead.
=======
So I decided to start-over. I started up Odin again and started from scratch. I have spent most of the day dicking-around here. Now I am back to having LineageOS installed without root again. I tried Magisk again. No go. Same error 1. Still no root.
I can't recall a time where installing custom firmware and rooting was 100% smooth. Even when flashing in Odin all the checkboxes were greyed-out, so I couldn't even select an option if I tried. I don't know why.
Anyway, any tips to get root are greatly appreciated! SuperSU?:
