Ok I am posting a simple tutorial to Root your Canvas HD and flash Custom Recovery without using SP Flash Tool. Sometimes it is very difficult for newbies to get proper driver and correct version of SP flash tool. Some users scared to use SP Flash Tool. So here is the solution.
Requirements:
1. Canvas HD of course
2. Framaroot application
3. Root Checker to check if your device is Rooted or not.
4. CWM v6.0.3.3 OR CWM v6.0.3.0 OR TWRP v2.5.0.0 or TWRP v2.6.3.0 or CWM v6.0.4.0 (Touch Based) or CWM v6.0.4.0
5. MobileUncle MTK Tools v2.9.8
Procedure:
1. Download the Framaroot application form the above link and transfer it to SD card
2. Now go to Settings>Security and put check mark on Unknown Soruces
3. Now use file manager and browse to the location where you have placed Framaroot Application
4. Install it and open it. Now Select "Install SuperSU" and hit Boromir.
5. Now go to Play Store and search for Super User and install it after opening it might ask to update SU.bin, hit yes and then "Normal"
6. Reboot your Device.
7. Check with Root Checker, if your device is rooted or not.
8. If it is rooted, download MobileUncle and install it, remember it require root access to work properly.
9. Now download any custom Recovery i.e. CWM or TWRP from the above link and rename it to recovery.img and place it in the root of SD card.
10. Now open MobileUncle and tap on Update Recovery it will automatically search the img file, you just have to select and confirm it. Then it will ask to boot your device into custom recovery tap on yes.
11. Your device would be booted into custom recovery.
Congrats your device is now rooted and flashed with Custom Recovery, now you can flash any custom ROM and now you have full control over your device.
How to Full Unroot and flash stock Recovery:
1. Download this stock Recovery file.
2. Rename the file to Recovery.img and place it in the root of SD Card.
3. Now open MobileUncle and tap on Recovery Update, it will search the file by itself, you just have to select the file and confirm.
4. It will then ask whether you want to boot into recovery, if you want to confirm you can tap on yes otherwise its not required.
5. Now open SuperSU and go to settings, scroll down to Full Unroot and tap on it. The process would be finished within 1 or 2 secs now you are on Stock v4.2.1 that too unrooted.
Now your warranty is intact you can go to service center for any help from them

What kind of changes are you talking about? If you are talking about the changes which you have made through Gravity Box and other modules of Xposed framework then you should just uninstall the Xposed Framework.

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).

Rooting and romming Sony devices is a little harder than most android devices, some things work a little different. The scattered info doesn't make this any easier either. I had to find this out the hard way, softbricked my Xperia in the process, but I finally did it. I see that there still are people that wish to root stock 5.1.1 and that there are no unified proper instructions to do this so here is my process and guide. Good luck.
There are many ways to do this, but it includes flashing your Xperia to earlier firmware then rooting and installing the recovery and then flashing back the newest firmware, so I made this little guide to make things easier for Sony newcomers. This process should be compatible with Z1, Z2 and Z3(c) - but ofcourse its made for Z2, for Z1 and Z3 download recovery files for your model respectively.
You won't loose any of your data on your stock ROM if you do this correctly.
You'll need a Windows PC, 7, 8.1, 10. (Mac and Linux are also supported)
1. Root your Z with Kingroot.apk v4.6 and v4.8 work flawlessly. Just download and install as normal apk and hit the big blue button. You have to have internet connection for this to work. It will root your Z automatically after cca. 2m.
Kingroot app is basically a super su app from a different developer. Congrats, you now have root.
2. To install a recovery do not use any flashing apps by TWRP or similar, it wont work. We will use XDZR.
XZDR is Xperia Z Dual Recovery, its basically Philz recovery and TWRP recovery flashed together. You enter Philz holding vol up and TWRP holding vol down when powering up your xperia. * Search for NUT's dual recovery for more info.
Download the recovery from here:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery
(Download the correct .zip for your Xperia model).
3. Download the. zip to your PC.
4. Connect your phone via USB after you have enabled USB debugging on your xperia. If you have correct Sony drivers installed your PC will recognize your device and a dialog will pop up on your phone (about allowing USB debugging from this PC). Allow the access.
5. Unpack the zip you downloaded to a random folder on your PC. Here run the install.bat if you're on a Win PC. Bat will run and here you just choose the first option, type 1 and follow the on screen instructions, keep an eye on your phone, it will pop up a couple of yes - no dialogs. Allow the access and ADB access and wait, it will be fast.
When you reboot you will see a green LED light up while SONY splash is shown, this is when you hold up or down for one of the two recoveries.
Down is for TWRP and up is for Philz.
6. Download superSU from here:
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
Boot to system again and now you can unroot your phone trough Kingroot app (general settings) and then reboot to recovery again and flash the file from this link, you will get the super su app and super su binaries and this way you're fully rooted and will have dual recovery for your full flashing pleasure.
* Remember that you first need to unroot and uninstall Kingroot app and then flash Super su, otherwise you risk a bootloop or just not functional root access.
* Do not flash newer TWRP or any recovery or youll loose your recovery.
* I am not responsible if something goes wrong with your device.
And thats it, you have your data intact, stock 5.1.1 ROM, fully functional root access with super su and two recoveries, intact BL and DRM keys and you can flash almost anything that supports LB (locked bootloader).
Hey.
I have a few questions.
Does installing recovery void the warranty? Can the XZDualRecovery be uninstalled easily? Can I still update to Marshmallow via official update when it comes out when I have recovery installed on my phone?
Thanks!

I think that Sony does void warranty if you do an "unauthorized software changes" and changing software in any other way than trough OTA is unauthorized by Sony, so yes. But you can completely restore your device to factory state by flashing an official FTF image trough flashtool and restore Sonys recovery and basically get your warranty back.
If you follow the above steps installation of XZDR is quite easy and fast.
You will be able to update to official MM by flashing MM FTF image trough flashtool and restore your phone to "official" software state. But with XZD recovery you will be able to flash leaked MM from beta program even sooner and easier.
This guide does not unlock your BL and does nothing irreversible to your phone * providing you do everything correctly.
Thanks for answering! Much appreciated!

Rooting with this method wont unlock your boot loader so there is no need for that, your DRM keys wont be touched.

You can leave it as is, you will have full root functionality. Of course you can also update binaries to have up to date bug fixes and security patches, update trough normal method works fine.
@5ageman Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. I m a noob in this rooting stuff. Last night i rooted my phone Xperia Z2 5.1.1 using kingroot bcos i was scared of rooting with some other steps and bricking my phone. But then i realized that xposed wont install unless i have custom recovery. But i m quiet confused with few things related to root even after reading so many posts. So just need to know what exactly recovery is. Like when i restart my phone and then press vol up or down key what will exactly happen? Is this something like safe mode and some other mode in laptops??

Recovery is actually closest to BIOS in PC terms although its much more. Xperia Z2 has no recovery by default, you'll need to flash it manually. See step 2. And only then you can eter recovery. By pressing vol down when the green LED lights up you will enter TWRP a custom recovery made by Team Win Recovery Project. Nothing will happen if you do nothig, you wont accidentaly wipe or brick your Z2. If unsure what to do next just tap the reboot button and then system to reboot to system as nothing happened. Go step by step, no hurry.
@5ageman thanks alot for ur answer. Now my doubt is clear.
But i have few more questions related to ur tut.
1- i have already rebooted my phone a number of times after rooting it. Like for some other purpose and not for recovery or super su. So will the tut work for me as i read somewhere that one need not restart the phone after rooting using kingroot and install recovery directly. Or if it was for some other device i dont remember.
2 - According to the end of step 5 and step 6, does that mean that i have to download super su from chainfire while i m still in recovery mode? And once agn in the system after uninstalling kingroot and rebooting in recovery do i have to install SuperSU in the recovery mode? If yes then how?
3- last question. Entering recovery is just vol down button or power + vol down both.
Once again sorry for such basic questions but i m completely new in the world of rooting plus i want to make sure i know what i m doing.
Thanks for ur patience. Appreciate.

1. You cannot install recovery directly from the system on Z2 like on other phones, Z2 has no recovery partition. This can only be done with unlocked bootloader. Just make sure you have a working root access with Kingroot and USB debugging enabled when you connect your Z2 to a PC.
2. Download superSU from chainfire while still in system, then reboot to recovery and flash it trough recovery. It's a flashable zip. Before booting to recovery unroot your phone trough Kingroot app. SuperSU zip will flash su binaries and the app to system partition automatically and will root your phone again. Rooting trough Kingroot is done only to flash the recovery, then its deleted.
3. After you successfully install tge recovery when you power on your Z2 it will vibrate and flash green LED on sony bios logo. Then you hold down vol down key until led flashes purple. Afterward it will boot to recovery.

2. Download superSU from chainfire while still in system, then reboot to recovery and flash it trough recovery. It's a flashable zip. Before booting to recovery unroot your phone trough Kingroot app. SuperSU zip will flash su binaries and the app to system partition automatically and will root your phone again. Rooting trough Kingroot is done only to flash the recovery, then its deleted.
3. After you successfully install tge recovery when you power on your Z2 it will vibrate and flash green LED on sony bios logo. Then you hold down vol down key until led flashes purple. Afterward it will boot to recovery.

@5ageman Thanks for ur reply. but i have few more things to say..
1- no i didnt mean in the system. What i read was that when u root with kingroot u r nt suppose to reboot until u install recovery. Otherwise it might cos prbs and nt install SuperSU.
2- What does flashable exactly mean. Is it nt just installing? I dload the superSU from chainfire while in the system and install in the recovery, right? Where will i find the zip to install it? (sorry... Had to ask)
3- i think i got that...i ll knw that exactly when i try it...lol

1. You wont face any issues if you reboot, but you dont have to. Just plug your phone to PC while your phone is in android. Yes you download in system and then install - flash in recovery by tapping "install" and then you navigate to supersu.zip and select it and then swipe to flash it. The supersu.zip will be there where you download it, most likely on internal storage in download folder.
2. Flashable means its installed trough recovery - its flashed as opposed to being installed normally in android system.
So is it safe to root my Z2 with this? I have 15.1.1 264 stock rom, is this safe?

It is easy and convinient if you're gonna use this method somehow watch out for the bugs because it may cause u to get stuck on recovery booting or download mode (good news is it wont affect with ur memory).
Use flashify, select the downloaded recovery (Extract when needed) and wait for some few minutes to flash the file.

use flashify if you have root
To root without pc,you can use Kingroot
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.

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
