I'd like to copy the su binary, without installing cwm, replace recovery or another, and then replace the kernel with the previous Stock Official Firmware. So I have only the binary su more from the original.
Maybe you have some other better Suggested?
Thank you!
Yes, cf auto root or framaroot

Thanks for the reply, framaroot is perfect, it works fine with the firmware XXEMC2 but does not work with the last XXEMF6. cf root drive I did not understand exactly how it works, but the recovery that is flashed not the same in the stoch firmware!
Cf auto root gives you stock recovery

Hi guys i'm new to the forum as well, i rooted my SIII (european version) some days ago using this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 and worked great. It was pretty simple and quick, maybe u can use it too (not sure if asian firmware changes something)

Like I just said DO NOT use this method. Chainfire no longer supports it but worse than that, cwm it comes with does not prevent SDS. Do NOT use this method.

Thanks, i flashed the new cwm that should have SDS fix
So i guess it should be fine to use the cf root and then just update the recovery, right? i mean there's not a big chance of sds on first recovery use

That's exactly the same as using cf auto root. So why not just use that?
Or just flash recovery if you don't need root. You don't need root if you're flashing a custom rom.

I guess the best thing is to check the main features of latest stable roms (based on stock firmware if you want all samsung features) and then try the ones you like the most..
I wanted to try android 4.3 and eliminate all the samsung (mostly useless for me) stuff, so i checked some threads in the forum and now i'm trying the supernexus 3 rom, it's pretty good, with not many customizations, but very lightweight..

Which rom were you running? With knox? If yes, try flashing the same rom again. I read somewhere that you cannot go back to an earlier firmware if you flash knox enabled firmware. Check with shazzl.
Ok will download latest firmware. Thanks for your reply. I'll get back to you.

6.0.1 root s6 edge

what is the best method to use for rooting a Galaxy S6 Edge running 6.0.1.
There is a cf-autoroot that you can use for the g925f and g925p it isntalls into recovery then you boot to recovery wait a while and it roots MM. If you do not have either device please state so.

[Q] Cyanogenmod for galaxy s5 sm G900T (kltetmo)

Hello,
I was trying to search Cyanogenmod for SM G900T without success.
Is it possible to install lets say CM for KLTE (G900*) and then to flash a suitable modem for G900T?
If it is, could you please post a link to the modem and the ROM?
Otherwise, could you recommend a similar ROM to cyanogenmod, I would like a "clean" ROM, if you could recommend I would be very happy.
I'm not using T-Mobile provider, we don't have it in our country, so I can give up T-Mobile features.
Thanks in advance.

Install the OTA update after unrooting and install root again. :/ U
Also if you have SuperSU just do a full unroot then root again after doing the OTA update
