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
THIS IS FOR YU5011
1. DOWNLOAD THE RAR FILE AND EXTRACT IT.
2. FOLDER INCLUDES SCATTER FILE, DOWNLOAD AGENT AND PATCHED BOOT IMAGE.
3. READ "README" FILE AND FOLLOW IT.
New updated link (install magisk manager v5.9.1 after flashing this boot image) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yN0967HJbww6bzC9vxntEWRCfMHwG1dH/view?usp=drivesdk

Thanks for the boot image. I was able to flash the image and I get warning on the boot screen that it is patched image. After installing MagiskManager app I am unable to install the Magisk.zip file. How did you install magisk without customer recovery?

Install magisk.zip by clicking the install button in magisk manager (your operator may charge for data).

I get option to download the zip file or patch the image. I can download the file. It doesn't get installed. I tried to install that zip from recovery, but I get error.

Do not install via stock recovery ever..
Flash the updated new boot image...then install latest magisk manager v5.9.1...
It will surely work
How do I hide the Orange State message?
Everything worked as expected - Unlocked bootloader, flashed newboot.img file, installed Magisk Manager and gained root access. But whenever the phone boots, there is a -
"Orange State
Your devices has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your devices will boot in 5 seconds"
Is there any way to disable/hide the message? Not that it is causing problems but it looks ugly.
Can this method used in YU5012 also
I was using a custom OREO rom, and i tried to install another country's stock firmware (CYV) which had android OREO. Now my sim is not recognised, I am trying to flash the original stock of my carrier(COS) (Which had android 7) firmware but odin fails, and device shows SYSTEM REV. CHECK DEVICE 1 BINARY 0.
I can only use ODIN to flash the new (CYP) firmware.
Also after installing the CYP firmware it added on the boot a line Protected by knox which did not exist before, please I have tried everything? Is my phone bricked for good?
Hi , try this:
1. Download your stock firmware Android 7 if you have it skip this step
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=22DB920E54E011E89F15FA163EE8F90B
2. Once you download your firmware use 7-zip and rename end of firmware name tar.md5 to .tar and extract to desktop just recovery.img .
3. Now use 7-zip and recovery.img to archive recovery.tar .
4. Open Odin , click on AP and add recovery.tar , put your device in Download mode and flash with odin .
5. If you successfully flashed recovery just reflash after that full firmware .
If that problem is still there try DBT version .

I am trying to root my s10 lite by following this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10-lite/development/how-to-root-galaxy-s10-lite-t4099777
Been trying for the past 3 days with no success
I have already unlocked my bootloader and downloaded the latest firmware available in my country (Do I have to download the stock one in order for this to work and then update ?)
Flashed the vbmeta_disabler.tar device rebooted to recovery did a factory data reset then powered phone off through recovery and reentered download mode. After that I flashed vbmeta_disabler again along with AP,CSC,CP and CSC files from latest firmware.
After that phone booted and afte the set up downloaded latest magisk manager (canary) . Then I transfered the AP file to the phone's internal storage and patched it using Magisk . Lastly I transfered back the magisk_patched.tar back to pc and tried to flash it with Odin along with BL,CP and HOME_CSC files.
It resulted in a bootloop .
I even tried to use the patched image from the telegram channel dedicated to s10 lite. Extracted the magisk_patched.tar and replaced the boot.img there with the one provided in the Telegram channel. After that using 7 zip I made a .tar file which tried to flash with Odin alongside the other files (BL,CP,HOME_CSC) but Odin crashed.
I tried to follow the exact same steps noted in the guide but with no success and I can't figurr out what I did wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated
Some Questions :
1. Auto reboot is left on on Odin should it be disabled ?
2. After flashing the patched.tar do I have to press a specific key combo to launch phone with Magisk ?
3. When I do manage to root it (optimistic approach) if I want to power off or restart during the boot is it required to press a key combo to boot with Magisk ?
4. After the rooting process can I use the stable Magisk Manager instead of the canary one cause I need Magisk Hide which I think the Canary one lacks ?
Thanks a lot !
wait on twrp, my guess its the wrong patched boot for the software your using
It has little that I acquired a used galaxy a21 of the metro pcs brand and I want to unlock it but it gives me the error code 37 I am from Mexico and I want to use it in the networks of my country, someone can give me a free solution either with a laptop or pc or from an application of my Android

You can only unlock the bootloader for now. As of the time this is being posted there is no known working root for the A21s.

Download the most recent firmware of ur a21s. Unzip your downloaded firmware and you will get 4 tar files. You will need the AP tar archive. Install 7-zip on ur PC. Decompress the AP tar file. Go in the folder in that you decompressed ur tar and archive these files "boot.img,vbmeta.img" in tar. Install the magisk app on ur a21s and push the file from PC to a21s. In magisk select in "magisk" section install then "Select and patch file" and browse and select ur tar with boot.img and vbmeta.img. After patching transfer the file from ur phone to PC, and download odin. Power off your phone and then press volume down and up and insert usb cable. Open odin select AP and browse for ur patched tar. After select ur AP make sure u DON'T chosed nand erase and repartition and press start. The phone will reboot in recovery and u have to do wipe data partition. Before doing these make sure u unlocked the bootloader and make backups. And making this, you will lose ur warranty. BTW there is exist a twrp unofficial recovery that didn't boot loop ur phone to odin mode. If you want to flash the twrp put ur phone to download and in odin chose AP and browse to the twrp tar u downloaded.
