Unfortunately, there is no development for this device why?
Did u flash poland 5.02 version from odin? I dont have any update from ota.

Yes, you can root 5.0.2. Do the cf auto root first. Once it boots, then you should have root. But it's not done yet. Do not reboot or turn off device as it won't be able to boot back yet. Go to play store and install flashify.
After that, extract the 5.0.2 firmware you flashed (rename and erase the .md5 extension at the end and you now have a .tar file, which can be extracted like a .zip or .rar.
Once extracted, get boot.img and recovery.img and copy them to your phone.
Then open flashify, locate those two images and flash them.
You should have root without any problem.
First flash recovery.img. and renaming it wouldn't cause any harm. The file probably looks like this: something.tar.md5.
If you remove md5, then you have .tar file. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from it like you would from any .zip

Hi, thanks for the info; I also have the same problem.
I would like to clarify your instructinos.
1) I have A500FU with lollipop 5.0.2 (which i downloaded and installed with odin)
2) I download cf auto root for 4.4.4?? is that right?
3) I extract boot.img/recovery.img from the 5.0.2 tar file
4) install flashify and flash the above.
Also you mentioned I need to do 3,4 without reboot, coz it wont boot. What will happen if it reboots by mistake? WIll it need a kies restore? or even just a 5.0.2 rom flash?
thanks alot

If it reboots by mistake, then it would be stuck in kernel logo and the screen would become whitish and remain like that. It's because CF root from 4.4.4 installs old kernel. If this happens, press volume down, home and power key together so that your device turns off.
Then enter download mode to reflash the rom with odin.

Great thank you. I will try it today or tomorrow.
Out of curiosity, what if I replace the recovery.img inside cf-auto-root with the new recovery.img from lollipop? Will that do the trick??
Galaxy A7
Hi
I have a galaxy A7. I followed the same method using the A7 CF auto root file for Kitkat 4.4.4. But after flashing, the device reboots. But it does not go to the android. Instead it stays on the screen which shows... SAMSUNG.. GALAXY A7... Any suggestions please??
If it boots into the home screen only i can flash the stock recovery file

So, you don't flashed the recovery.img and boot.img! After flash Cf-Auto-Root, Use Flashify and flash the boot.img + recovery.img from 5.0.2 Lollipop ROM.
I wl wxplain in detail. I took odin. Connected the phone. Den loaded up the auto root file. Clicked on start. So it starts flashing.. after the flashing is complete.. phone reboots itself... ryt ? Den it stays on the samsung screen. Stuck. I can use flashify only if i can boot up completely.

In the first boot itself the phone gets stuck. It should boot into home screen. Then only i can use flashify.

Now you have to reflash the stock ROM Lollipop for your A7 with Odin.
After flashed the ROM, flash the CF-Auto-Root package.
Don't reboot your device, otherwise same bootloop problem, when the device is bootup install "Flashify" from Play Store. Extract the boot.img and recovery.img from the 5.0.2 ROM.
Flash the boot.img and recovery.img from the Stock ROM with Flashify then restart your device and you have a fully functional root on your A7.
This method has worked with my A5.
Still not working
Than you for ur concern man.. But still it dos not work. After flashing cf auto root... I Just leave the phone. I do no touch it. It should boot into android. But it is not. It stays in d same screen.. Samsung... Galaxy A7
Maybe this works only for A3 and A5

Tried using 4.4.4 Root (CF-Auto Root) .. successful at first boot. But when you restart/power off. It won't turn on..
Only works in Download Mode .. No recovery mode
Yeah. I tried that on my SM-A300F too but if your device isnt running on the same built id*KTU84P.A300FXXU1ANL1 then it wouldn't work. I just hope CF will update the new CF-Auto root.

Wait.. I am not sure what to do here.
1.I go to download mode, flash the cfautoroot.zip for 4.4.4 eventhough I am 5.0.2 right?
2.then you say flash the recovery.img from 5.0.2 StockRom file.
this is the part I don't quite get it. Cause you said dont reboot.
Do I flash it when my phone is turned on or should I put it in download mode to flash???
EDIT: OK ignore the all of the above. I got it now. I was stupid and blind. lol
EDIT2: All work perfectly. THANKS

but when I shut it down it also automatically goes into recovery. Even if I choose power down in the stock recovery it stills reboots into recovery. I can boot it back up perfectly tho but now I just can't fully shut my phone down.
How did you manage to shut your phone down?
I shut down my phone via option from holding power button.
did you shutdown your phone by holding the power button for a period of time or you choose from the option from holding the power button for a few seconds??
Edit: I got it. I went to download mode via terminal emulator and then shutdown from there.

Thank you very much for your instructions and I was able to upgrade my firmware to ********BOD9 (Russia). I did not feel any lagginess and the upgrade is smooth and stable from 4.4.4 to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 ********BOD9 (Russia). After I updraded the firmware, I root my phone using CFRoot 4.4.4, followed your instructions carefully. I did extra work to make sure the system is clear so that there will be no lagginess. After flashify the recovery.img and boot.img rebooted the phone by flashify it went back to the recovery. Then I wipe data cache and wipe cahe. Go to bootloader mode and again install ********BOD9 using ODIN V 3.10.6 and root and copy the recovery.img and boot.img of ******BOD9 to external SD Card. Next flashify the recovery.img and boot.img and reboot. Then the problem of recovery still exist. I off my phone for 2 minutes. Turn on my phone again, do restart and the problem of going to recovery was gone. Take note that flashify will be used for 3 flashing per day. If you consume the 3 flashing don't reboot your phone, patiently wait for 1 day and flashify the recovery and boot.img then reboot using flashify. It will bring you to the bad recovery and reboot system. Now my phone is updated to Android 5.0.2, no lagginess & no stuttering and no recovery problem. The only problem problem is I cannot backup my rom. Still waiting for CWM Recovery for SM-A300F.
Thx this helped but after rooting it, when I turn off the screen, after a while, it reboots and I don't know how to stop it. Any help please?

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 ...

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.
You Have Root On Your Samsung Galaxy A5 ,Whatever It KitKat Or Lollipop.

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.

Galaxy A5 (SM-A500H) error
Samsung A500H returns "Could not do normal boot"
Hi, I have successfully rooted 5.0.2 rom on galaxy grand prime with cm autoroot for kit kat.
1. flash new 5.0.2 update with odin (if you had root on kit kat flash 2 times, it wont work first time) http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54047/G530FZXXU1BOG2_G530FZOXA1BOG2_PHE/
2. boot 5.0.2 set up google account and install super su
3. download flash cm autoroot https://download.chainfire.eu/664/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-fortunalte-fortunaltedx-smg530f.zip?retrieve_file=1
4. boot again - phone will reboot 3 times before booting into system and updating super su, launch and set up super su
5. download recovery.zip, extract and flash it, WARNING use this recovery only with G530FZXXU1BOG2_G530FZOXA1BOG2_PHE, it is extracted from this rom and it should fix boot loop after flashing the cm autoroot package
6. reboot and you have rooted lollipop on G530FZ
MAKE SHURE YOU FLASH recovery from step no 5 otherwise you will end up in boot loop
p.s. I am now working on xposed installer
It worked. Thank you very much
Thank you it works !
Done, but i do not had to flash the recovery, the device has not entered bootloop
Same question as always: and knox? Is trigered right?
Edit: nevermind. I already have my answer.

It worked, and when you reboot the phone stopped working. When you try to run stands in the picture and nothing happens. Install recovery again by Odin, but nothing helps. Any ideas? (Sorry for the language, I have a translator)

Do I have to Flash the previous G530FZOXA1BOG2? Or can I skip this step and flash the autoroot directly? Would work the Recovery with my current version?

Hi peeps!
If your trying to install TWRP for your Samsung A5 and are constantly stuck in a TWRP bootloop in an attempt to restart your device, then here is a solution for you!:good:
I am not responsible for any damage to your device!
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/help/to-port-twrp-to-galaxy-a5-a500fu-t3150843
Stuck in bootloop and don't know how to get out!
Follow these steps:
1. Tap on reboot
2. Tap on download
3. Open ODIN on your computer and load a stock/lollipop rom on the PDA
3. Connect your device and flash the ROM
(Note: doing so will remove root)
Want TWRP very bad but don't want to repeat the process over and over again?
You will need to convert the TWRP.img file to a .md5.tar file so you can flash it via ODIN.
In order to convert it, go here:

Once converted, flash the file via ODIN.
Thanks to:
@mygalaxya for TWRP
@mkh.mourad for img to tar.md5 converter
Leave a thanks if it helped! Hope it does!

Hello XDA!
I am writing this thread to ask for help rooting my Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.
I attempted to use apps such as: Framaroot, Kingroot, etc.. but so far none of them have worked and I have not been able to find a working guide on the internet of how to root my phone.
I also tried installing an unofficial version of TWRP for my phone but everytime I tried to boot into the recovery it would say "No Command" and then boot into the original recovery.
Is anyone able to help me root my phone? Can it even be done?
Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!
Phone Specifications:
Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.

Try this at your own risk
Make a backup before trying
I got root access with this method
Download stock Rom from sammobile extract and there should be 5 MD5 files extract the AP file with 7z and copied boot.img on to sdcard
Installed MagicalMmanager-7 used it to patch the boot.img to a tar file
Copied the boot image to my pc desktop then flashed the boot with odin
When I booted it back up magisk manager kept crashing so I uninstalled it and installed magiskmanager-5.23 rebooted it opened magisk and followed the prompts to update it

Hello there.
I have tried to patch my boot.img but when I put into a .tar and flash it, it doesn't flash, it's just stuck on file analysis despite being able to flash other files. Would you be able to send me a copy of your boot.img, thanks.
Kindest Regards

Unfortunately I have not found a solution. Please notify me if you find one.
here is a copy of my boot.img after flashing this you will get a verification problem and you will have to reset your phone if it bootloops into recovery or starts to update and says no command take battery out put it back in and boot it again or boot in to odin mode and push down and boot it eventually it will boot in to recovery then factory reset it. first boot may take 5-10 minutes
my software version is J250GDXU2ARD3_J250GXSA2ARD3_XSA

Hello and thanks a lot! I flashed my boot image and now when it boots it says "Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" and an infinite booting screen.
What do I do from here? or do I need to flash the original rom?
don't worry about "Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" mine does it too here is another boot.img after i flashed this i got verification failed so i used 7z to tar userdata.img.ext4 i extracted from the AP image i got the boot.img from.
i put boot in BL and userdata in AP and flashed it. it fired up as normal and then i installed magisk apk

Hey, sorry for the late response. Everything is working fine! I now have superuser abilities but everytime I try to flash my recovery with TWRP it just loads the stock recovery. I even tried removing certain files from the root folder to avoid the stock recovery being flashed but it hasn't worked.
Any idea? Ps. You are a life saver my man.

glad i could help and i don't think there is an official twrp for this device here is one i ported a couple things still don't work mtp and sideload but it's not really usable until someone ports a rom due to the data encryption which you have to format to be able to flash anything

Hello,
Sorry, I don't have the J250G anymore as I traded it for a J5.
Kindest Regards
Jayden
My internal storage showed I only have 8gb instead of 16gb. Is there a fix for this?
P.S. Wiping data fixes it
ok
You can extract it from the AP file from stock firmware using 7z
hey
hey everyone im just wondering but is there a kernel for this device yet or any rom ("J250G")
