Can we flash cwm.tar with mobile odin? Has anybody actually tried?
I actually flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-hltespr-4.4.img.tar with mobile odin several days ago when upgrading to 4.4.4.
Ok which steps did you take?

I used ZArchiver to move the file from my "Download" folder to SD card
Opened Mobile ODIN Pro v4.20
Pressed on "Recovery"
Located the file in my external SD-card
After you select your recovery .tar, scroll down and press "Flash firmware"
You have the option of pressing "After flash ..." and selecting "Recovery mode". This will reboot your phone directly to recovery after you flash.

Thanks for the info my computer is down and im about to put cwm on her phone like this
It says you need root c or mobile odin to work. Right now ive got ni access to a windows machine. I was wondering can the app flash twrp and then i could flash a rooted rom. Probably not im just making sure.
Root using TowelRoot. Once you've gained root access, flash TWRP with Mobile ODIN
With TWRP, you will be able to flash ROMs through recovery mode.
Make sure you go with the correct android version when flashing a ROM to avoid any issues.
Thanks but my phone is updated to 4.4.4. Towelroot doesnt work

I have 2.5 version and using jelly beans build 20. (Rooted and flashed a year ago with occasional updates.)
Im reading about glitches with 2.6. Should I update my TWRP or not?
And if I do, how without goomanager working? I got the download on the mirror site. But how EXACTLY do I flash it?
Can I select "flash ROM" in goomanager or somehow in TWRP itself?
I understand there is a way with terminal manager but when I read the commands, I want to see quotes on what to type.
Is this the question and troubleshooting forum?

I just download the new TWRP zip, reboot, and install zip from the old version of TWRP. Then reboot and it will be the new version.
Thank you for replying.
But I'm a little unsure of the DETAILS of that procedure.

So, instead of doing a little research, you want a step by step? Here you go:
1. Go here and download the latest zip file --> http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0ltevzw
(openrecovery-twrp=2.6.3.0-t0ltevzw.zip
2. Reboot your phone into TWRP recovery (power button, reboot recovery)
3.Click on Install
4. Find your file from open(saved to downloads or where ever)
5. Swipe to confirm flash
6. When it is done, click on Reboot System
7. It will reboot into TWRP and you will be on the latest version

I did step one.
I did several searches on "how to update twrp" and other variations of that search, but invariably they just say "flash it" or "use goomanager". Hell, even twrp.com even says flash it. I could not find step by step directions for flashing a recovery.
Thank you.
I have flashed beans updates with goomanager but screwing up "recovery" makes me nervous!
the easiest way is to go into goo manager. press your phone settings button, and then press install openrecoveryscript. goo manager does the rest
This didn't help my confidence: (from the other twrp thread)
sublimaze said:
Your partition table may have been corrupted when playing with twrp. Flash the stock rom image together with the stock .pit file via Odin. The .pit file is the partition information. You should be able to find these in the stock recovery thread.
Lesson of the day:
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it!
Don't mess with a functioning recovery unless the new version fixes something you really need.

Ah... no.
Goomanager downloads dont hardly work anymore. Sits forever on the download screen. Something about to many people downloading on slow connections.
Hey,
So I'm a noob at this and I tried to root my phone.
Got the Android unified toolkit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
And followed wwjoshdew's video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRWk8d0sUQ&hd
I picked the Allinone root option on the toolkit and proceeded. At the next step, when my phone entered download mode, it said I need to flash the recovery, recommended TWRP. But in the video, josh directly opens the root folder on odin and starts that. I did what josh did and that completed successfully. But when my device rebooted, on the toolkit, it said could not find recovery and I should try again. And there is no supersu on my phone either.
What have I done wrong? Do I need to flash the recovery before rooting?
Thanks in advance.
You have did only root.
But... a custom recovery is highly recommended (the better is Philz Recovery, CWM-based with some TWRP function).
Also a root manager is reccomended: Superuser is a great open source alternative to SuperSU, but I can't say you which is the best.
Ps actually I can't see video guide nor thread, my answer is based on what you said in the topic, so at first tell me if phone in "Settings > Info about" menu result with a custom firmware instead official. Otherwise you haven't even did root.
It's showing the stock version. No custom build. I just wanted to root so I could use apps like Greenify.
Do I need to do a flash the recovery first?

I didn't ask you for stock or custom rom. If you did root, in "Info about phone" the system status is showed as "custom".
Greenify should works also without root, but with limitations.
Recovery is highly recommended for you and also for some advanced apps who need this to flash something.
Then also a root manager for security reasons and a better device control is reccomended.
You can't stay without both, but I suggest to have both.
Ps without doing root you can't flash anything, nor via Odin! [emoji6]
It's showing Device Status as Official.
I understand that I need to root first before I can do anything. However when I followed the vid, it said before rooting if I had any recovery installed and needed me to install one first.
That's why I'm confused. I thought it was root first then flash recovery.

You haven't to be confused: for example CF-Auto-Root do it and automatically flash recovery (CWM) and root manager (SuperSU).
You can flash them by downloading the device specific file (I9300).
If you want to change root manager simply uninstall SupetSU and download by Play Store Superuser (from Chainfire eh!), if you want dislike or want to update recovery, simply flash another via Odin or zip file.
Advice
My advice is this:
1. search for a MD5 file from Philz Touch like here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/
2. Download Odin3.09 from here: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Odin3_12992520.html
3. Go to download mode by pressing volume down, home button and power on
4. Flash it by clicking AP and select the MD5 file
5. boot to recovery pressing volume up, home button plus power on
6. go to philz settings, Reroot system
7. download SuperSu from market
Than you're done

Without root you can't do anything. This option is useful for people who have maintained Philz Recovery on an unrooted system.

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! Mr. ndm4ompk!! (original poster's name)
It WORKED for me!!!
After searching for 3 months,
I've finally found a working ROOT solution for Grand Prime G531H.
I want to thank the author and want to write step-by-step how I followed him.
------------------
Below I've refined the original manual:
Step 1. Prepare your phone for rooting process.
On computer, copy SuperSU-Pro-v2.46-Patched zip file onto SD card.
On phone, go to Settings --> Developer Options --> Check the Manufacturer unlock :::: This will turn off a lock
On phone, hit the Volume Down+Power+Home at the same time :::: This will Initiate Download mode on Grand Prime
Step 2. Use Odin
On computer, open Odin. Connect your Phone to PC :::: Odin will recognize your device in Download mode
On Odin, click AP --> choose recovery.tar.md5 file --> click 'Start' on Odin. :::: Odin will start working and your phone will auto-reboot when it finishes
Step 3. Install SuperSU
On phone, hit the Volume UP+Power+Home --> slide the bar to continue :::: This will enter TWRP (recovery)
On TWRP, click install --> choose SuperSU-Pro-v2.46-Patched zip file in SD card --> slide the bar --> hit restart :::: This will install SuperSU and phone will restart
Step 4. Optimize your root!
On phone, open SuperSU app --> click PLAY STORE (to update/install via Play store) ---> hit update/install (in Play store).
Open SuperSU app again --> Update Normal --> hit Restart phone.
This finishes the last step of rooting. Your phone is rooted!
*You can check with Root Checker Basic app.

This picture might help. Screenshot is taken from G531H that I rooted using this guide.
Rooting on some other devices does not require turning-off FRP lock.
But it's always better to turn-off FRP lock (to check Manufacturer unlock).

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.

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:

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.

Up to this point there is no success in rooting the Galaxy A3 2017 device.
This device is more reasonable to buy as it is small and elegant at a decent price.
Unfortunately there is no sign of working root method for the device.
Please feel free to update this topic with your attempts on rooting this device, and if success will strike, it will float up here for everyone to see.

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
