How to root Galaxy A3 SM-A300FU 5.0.2 Firmware...
Problem solved: [Galaxy A Series] CF-Auto-Root

---

I have rooted A3 with Cf root for 4.4.4 but after root you need flash lollipop recovery because 4.4.4 cf root install old recovery.
For A3 with lollipop xposed work?I have unrooted my A3 because some apps don't like root and then i can't install RootCloack for hide root.

2., Root complet,.... power off... NO REBOOT, POWER OFF!
3., Start download mode and Odin v3.10.6
4., Flash original-recowery-cache-sma300fu-lollipop
5., Reboot and enjoy rooted A3 SM-A300FU.

Not only root problem, also the problem I had with first reboot always into recovery, doesn't happen with this method.

Thanks, this method helped me. For anyone else that didn't understand what to do because of the a bit poor English (no offense spitya ;_; ):
1. Root your device normally like you would have on your previous 4.4.4 firmware
2. Power off your device and enter into download mode
3. flash the the following file from spitya's fourth step with Odin
Or I don't know, maybe people do understand what spitya said. Thought I could make things a bit clearer.

You literally saved my A3. after I had installed 5.0.2 and rooted it (without installing the original recovery), my phone was stuck.
Thank you!

hello Sir and thanks for sharing this first.
I have something unclear here,my A3 is on 5.0.2 rooted,but with the reboot issue.
If i apply your method,I have to downgrade first to 4.4.4 or i just have to do the steps you specify?
best regards,pierre

Worked!
Thank you so much

AOB3 root ?? can i use same cf for nl1 or doi downgrade

---

Just to be sure. This is also the way to update a rooted 4.4.4 to 5.0.2? But then I can start from step 3?

Root working with all firmwares?
Dear Community,
please could you kindly confirm, if the method above works on all Samsung A300FU phones running Android 5.0.2?
Here I have a A300FUXXU1BOEC, Build LRX22G.A300FUXXU1BOF3.
The device was bought in Germany without any branding.
I'm a bit concerned to try as the software packages clearly state a different firmware version.
Thanks a lot for your support,
CMF

Edit:
I do confirm, that in my phone rooting worked as described above.
My phone rebooted automatically and was stuck in a reboot cycle. I simply hold the "download mode" buttons while it rebooted once more, entered download mode and flashed the original recovery cache. Then, everything was fine.

I followed these steps after trying with KingBoot and Kingo Boot (I have the same build and model as you).
Ir worked fine at first, but after rebooting (Step 5) and opening SuperSU it prompted the message "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?". When I tried to install the SU binary by following the instructions it prompted "Installation failed ! Please reboote and try again."
No app or log appears on the SuperSU menu.
What should I do? This is my first root!
Just in case it's important: I never uninstalled the KingRoot and the Kingo Root apps
P.S.: I need root to use DrFone for recovering lost data after someone stole and wiped my cellphone.! ...so each time I mess around with my files I could be losing data.
