Look if around the internet and only found a SM-J100H root which bricked my device so I had to re flash it, could you please help me find a root for my device please? I know my phone is uncommon especially for the US. I know there is a possible way to root any android device.
Same problem here...
G'day,
I was just looking through for a new ROM for my girlfriends phone (j100y) and saw this.
I rooted her phone with kingo root after flashing the file listed below, just search it - I cant post links.

Sm-j100y /= sm-j100h
I have encountered a similar incompatibility trying to use the SM-J100H TWRP recovery onto a SM-J100Y handset. Trying to boot into recovery after doing this freezes it, and I have to power it off to get out of it.
It looks like some further development is needed to create a compatible Rom/TWRP image that wont brick the SM-J100Y.

Comparing the 2 models on here (I can't post links...) mobosdata.com/samsung-galaxy-j1-sm-j100y and mobosdata.com/samsung-galaxy-j1-sm-j100h, the hardware differences are:
RAM: J100y-768MB ; J100H-512MB
SIM: J100y=Single SIM ; J100H=Dual SIM
Network: J100y=3G 850, 900, 2100 MHz, as well as 4G 700, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600 MHz ; J100H=3G 900, 2100 MHz
NFC: J100Y=yes ; J100H=No
Hotspot: J100Y=yes ; J100H=No
AudioRecording: J100Y=yes ; J100H=No
I just wanted to install TWRP. Does anyone know if you need to unlock the bootloader for that using Odin? I would not have thought so, but I could be wrong.
Rooting SM-J100Y
'J100YDXU0AOC1_root.tar' image by Hosam Kashto (Password "hosamkashto") does indeed work for rooting my SM-J100Y but i fail to connect to my network Skinny, if there is a way to edit the image and make a boot img for the updated firmware version i'll be willing to give it a shot. And how hard is it to create a TWRP/CWM rom for this device?
root access successful
I have successfully rooted my samsung J100Y with no issues what so ever, J100YDXU0AOC1.
You need to install kingoroot on your phone first then install kingoroot on your PC, Also install ODIN V3.07 on your PC to get this done properly, when I get home I will upload the files to my dropbox and give better details how to do this correctly.
How To Root Samsung Galaxy J1
This is how you root the Samsung Galaxy J1 (J100YDXU0AOC1) Australia.
- Install Kingoroot on your phone
- Install both Kingoroot and Odin V3.07 on your PC (in the files provided below)
- Put your phone into download mode, power off the phone then hold down power, home and volume down until you see the little android robot
- Open Odin V3.07 and plug your phone in
- Click on PDA in Odin V3.07 and navigate to the file J100YDXU0AOC1_root.tar and press Start (let it work its magic)
- When it says Pass in Odin you are good to go, now open Kingoroot on your PC and run it, it will make sure it is properly rooted, your phone will tell you it is rooted before the PC version does, that's it you have now successfully rooted your phone.
I have included the original firmware in the files just in case something goes wrong for you, you can use Odin to restore with the original firmware.

i got root j100y. took 2 days but got it. Flash J100YDXU0AOC1_OPPOAOC1_V4.4.4_Repair_Firmware.zip. Unzip and find necessary files. Used odin3 13.3.1 latest version, insert files BL, AP and so from the zip. If its taking too long more than 20 mins, power off phone and back on but dont unplug from pc. Should start where it left off. Now, set up phone when it reboots, settings, about phone, tap build number 5 times, enter developer mode, enable usb debug, allow installations from unknown sources. Down apk kingoboot, install on phone. one click root. Device should reboot. Now check root with an app. Should be done if not run kingoroot on pc. Keep trying and follow any prompts on phone always allow and install anyway etc. It is possible.
I'm just going to leave this here in case anyone of you encounters this problem after modifying files in the system or after flashing custom ROMs. Do note that this fix does not remove the error, but instead bypasses it (for those without EFS backup) and enables the system to boot up normally (installs SuperSU as well). Also, as this requires the use of Odin, devices running MacOS or OSX are not supported.
An alternative (and easier) method has been discovered (refer to post #4 for more details)
Prerequisites:
1) TWRP recovery (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6QXDUz9wzc9YWcyZklybmZLc0k)
2) dm-verity bypass (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6QXDUz9wzc9Wk1ra0hKYVJtT1k)
3) Odin (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6QXDUz9wzc9c3BxYzdBNXhvbnc)
Steps (please follow the steps accordingly in order):
1) Place your phone in D/L mode
- Ensure device is fully turned off by pressing the volume down and power button
- Hold the volume down, home, and power button until a blue warning screen appears
- Press once on the volume up button
- Connect your device to your computer
2) Flash TWRP onto your device
- Open Odin and click on the "AP" tab, and then directing to the location of the TWRP recovery (TWRP_3.0.2.tar)
- Click on the "Options" tab and untick the option "Auto Reboot" [DO NOT TICK ANYTHING ELSE]
- Click on "Start" until Odin says "PASS!"
3) Reboot device into TWRP and flash the bypass zip
- Hold the volume down and power down button until the screen turns off
- Then, hold the volume up, home, and power button until "Set Warranty Bit : recovery" appears at the top of the screen
- Click on "Advanced", followed by "ADB Sideload" and ensure that "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Cache" is ticked, then swipe the bar at the bottom to start sideload
- Using the command prompt, type "adb sideload dm-verity bypass.zip" and wait till it completes
- Click on "Reboot System" after it completes, and your system should be able to boot
Possible errors which you may have encountered:
1) Odin does not detect my device
-- [You will need to install the device driver]
> Download the driver at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6QXDUz9wzc9LU9FclQ5WjNWRFk and install it.
2) My device does not boot into recovery after flashing via Odin
-- [System was trying to boot instead of recovery and had ignored the custom recovery after that]
> Go back to step 1) and repeat again
What is ADB and where can I get it?
> The installer is available for download at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k
> Run the installer and type "Y" for every prompt
> Open the command prompt (On your keyboard, press the windows key followed by the "R" key, then type "cmd" in the window and press enter
> Type "cd C:\adb" and you may continue with the steps (do note that C: is the mounted letter of your root drive which may be different from yours)
"* cannot read 'dm-verity bypass.zip *" appears after I entered the command
-- [ADB cannot read the file as the file cannot be found]
> Copy the dm-verity bypass.zip into your ADB folder, or after typing "adb sideload ", drag the dm-verity bypass.zip into your command prompt window and then pressing enter.
Do notify me immediately if there are any errors. Thank you and good luck!
Thanks to @KingWilliams for the dm-verity bypass zip which was present in one of your ROMs.
Q&A
Will OTA updates still work?
> No, the phone will detect that files has been modified and thus OTA updates are stopped. Updates will have to be carried out manually.
NIce Info Thanks, btw is it work on Marshmallow or Lollipop j500f ?

Should work on both versions but would you mind trying out a simpler and better method instead? It works fine on my device but I am unsure if it works on other models/variants. This method keeps the system status official and even enables OTA updates.
The guide below encompasses the updated method. Do note that as the guide is still being tested and is not an official method, I am assuming that all necessary drivers are installed correctly on your computer and that you have the knowledge and experience to work through the steps as these prerequisites are not included in this guide.
1) Download SamFirm (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841&d=1467715462), extract and then run the application.
2) After checking the "Auto" and "Binary Nature" box, type in your model (in your case, SM-J500F) and your region (refer to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-J500F if you need help identifying your region) before clicking on "Check Update".
2.1) The application should now be able to detect a firmware saying (for example)
Code:
SamFirm v0.3.6.0
Checking firmware for SM-J500F/TGY/J500FZHU1API2/J500FZZH1API2/J500FZHU1API2/J500FZHU1API2
Model: SM-J500F
Version: J500FZHU1API2/J500FZZH1API2/J500FZHU1API2/J500FZHU1API2
OS: Lollipop(Android 5.1.1)
Filename: SM-J500F_1_20161018133014_hz4nve666g_fac.zip.enc4
Size: 1060126192 bytes
LogicValue: 0us57tdgetwzs2jy
3) Before clicking on "Download", ensure that the option "Decrypt automatically" is checked. The "Check CRC32" option is optional.
4) Once the application is done downloading and decrypting the firmware image, extract it.
5) Using Odin, flash BL, AP, CP, CSC and once it reboots and the error pops up, boot the phone back to the Download Mode.
6) Using Odin, flash AP only (untick BL, CP and CSC checkboxes).
The phone should now boot up normally into the system. Do report the results here for further analysis. Thank you!
Thanks mate, i'll try it :highfive:

Sorry about that and for wasting your time. In my original thread, I stated that this method does not eradicate the problem completely but simply bypasses it. The guide that I had requested you to try had two differences - sets the system status to official and enables OTA updates. Now that I think of it, this method is only useful for devices that does not have a workable TWRP/CWM recovery yet, or to give people a peace of mind that their system is official and unmodified. Since entering the recovery mode resurfaces this problem , this method is more or less useless as OTA updates are installed in recovery mode. All updates would need to be done manually via Odin/Smart Switch.
You got to admit this method is simpler and easier though! Could I ask does this method work? Did your phone boot up normally? Thank you.

I have a question. Can I take a DRK backup from one phone and repair another? I have a working Galaxy S6 64gb, and a Galaxy S6128GB that has DRK issue.
Can't Flash TWRP, FRP lock :/
Hi, I have the dm-verification failed problem, but I can't flash twrp because of the FRP lock. Any solution? thanks

Got to developer settings and tap oem lock on and it should fix your problem.
Hello.
My phone is a Samsung Note 5. 64gb, SM-N9208 ( Taiwan ).
Many many thanks for this post! I have trawled the net for weeks and weeks to find a solution for this ridiculous dm-verity, DRK missing fiasco. I have managed to fix it thanks to your instructions. I understand that this is a work around, don't mind that one bit! But should anyone have a solution to get rid of the problem permanently, you will be an even bigger hero. Let me know if anyone does.

Perhaps the system files are corrupted. Try flashing the AP file (not HOME file) in Odin and you should be good to go.

Really sorry for the late reply but in case you have not found an answer yet, no it's not possible (even if it is possible it would be considered illegal - duplicate IMEI).
I'm looking to do this later today. I've done quite a bit of reading and would like a confirmation (or correction) on the steps I plan to do.
Goal:
Upgrade my Note 4 (n910v) from Android 5.0.1 to use an NSeven rom.
Here is my phone information:
Model: SM-N910V
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband: N910VVRU2BOG5
USA carrier - changing from Verizon service to TMobile
My current plan:
Use Odin 3 to upgrade from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1 using the full firmware here. Is this guide adequate for the manual update?
Once upgrade to 5.1.1, I want to root and unlock the bootloader using this guide.
After that, I want to update the rom to NSeven using the guide here.
Questions:
Are there any issues with the steps above?
Are the guides adequate? Or are the other ones preferred?
Do I need to flash to Android 6.0.1 after rooting & unlocking the bootloader prior to using NSeven?
Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully reply. I just want to be sure I have the right idea before I get started.
Sorry to bump this, but any chance someone has time for a response?

OK. I don't know about those steps, as I took a different route to get to the Nseven rom. Make sure you have the ADB/Odin 3.09 or 3.10 and Samsung drivers already installed on your PC. You might want to get/DL Kingroot.apk aswell.
Step 1.
Download the 5.1.1 BPA1 full firmware, this should be a all in one file. None of these separate files eg.BL AP CSC..
"I downloaded this from Sammobile"
Step 2.
Open Odin and add the firmware file to the AP tab by clicking on it and navigating to where file is located. This takes a little while to show as Odin checks the file before adding it( Make sure Auto reboot and F.Reset Time are ticked)
Step 3.
Make sure you have unlocked "DEVELOPER MODE" and "USB DEBUGGING" is ticked before powering down your phone and putting it into download mode by holding the 3 keys Vol Down,Power,Home then Vol Up to continue, once your in DL mode connect to PC. There may be a little pause as your PC may install further driver files before Odin recognizes you phone and adds it under "ID;COM". Once your phone has been added into the ID:COM you can go ahead and press START. Allow Odin to do its stuff and once your phone reboots you can unplug from the PC.
Now you should be on the 5.1.1 BPA1 firmware.
Allow your phone to boot completely, you can skip the whole setup process but you'll need to be connected to WiFi for the next process.
GAINING TEMP ROOT.
Step 1.
Transfer the "KINGROOT.APK" to your phone and install but don't open it yet.
Step 2.
Unlock Developer Mode again and tick USB DEBUGGING. * This is necessary for ADB.
Step 3.
Open Kingroot and allow it to check for root this can take awhile just be patient. Once it throws up the results it'll ask if you want to try "TRY TO ROOT". click on the tab and watch the process. " Your phone will reboot a few times during the process" I just reopened Kingroot each time it did until the process was done. ******You'll have to repeat this process again***** as your Phone reboots while your pushing the command file through ADB. Losing root in the process.
Now that you've repeated the process again and you have gained TEMP root. You can confirm this with "ROOT Checker" you can reconnect your phone to your PC.
Step 4.
Make sure you have the "Samsung_unlock_n4-fix script file in your FASTBOOT folder located in the extracted files of ADB.
Now open a ADB command window *Open this in the same folder where you exacted ADB. to do this hold Shift and click Right mouse button on any clear area of the ADB folder and scroll down to "Open command window here"
Step 5.
Within the command window type "CD Fastboot"
To confirm your device is added type" ADB devices"
You should see a random number listed under "List of devices"
If you do your set to go.
For this next step its best you have the Notepad open with these commands to make it easier. ****COPY & PASTE*****
The commands are.....* without the numbers in front of it
#1. adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix
#2. adb shell
#3. su
#4. cd/data/tmp/
#5. chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
#6. chown root. root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
#7. . / samsung_unlock_n4-fix
OK time to push the file. Start with the 1st command and press enter. Then the 2nd and press enter. Then the 3rd and press enter. Then the 4th, then the 5th and 6th then the 7th.
Now once you've enter the 7th command you'll be presented with a warning just type YES ****USING THE SHIFT KEY WHILE DO SO****** and wait while the process completes. Your phone will reboot to confirm the process is complete.
******NOTE*******
Your phone will reboot but reboot into a Bootloop, don't worry just pull the battery and memory card. Replace the battery but not the memory card. Reboot into DL mode to confirm that you are now in/a Developer Mode.
**********CONGRATULATIONS YOU JUST UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER********
*****NOW HERE COMES THE STINK PART*******
You'll need to flash the N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1 full firmware with Odin this will update the Bootloader to CPD1 required for Nseven to boot. But in doing so will LOCK the bootloader again. ARRRGGGGG!!!!!!
So.....
Step 1.
Put your newly unlocked phone into DL mode again and reconnect to Odin.
Step 2.
Place the BPA1/CPD1 firmware into the AP slot and press start
Disconnect when the phone reboots. Allow it to fully boot/skip the setup process. ******Note you will need Mobile Data as WiFi is non usable due to the updated firmware.
Step 3.
Reformat your memory card using your PC and place back into your phone, reconnect your phone to PC and transfer ROOTKING.APK over again.
Step 4.
Turn on Mobile data. Install KINGROOT and open, follow the same process you did to unlock 5.1.1. This time it may take a little longer and there's a chance Kingroot will fail to root just try again.
*It did it to me.
*There's a chance your phone will reboot when it comes to pushing the command file, unfortunately that's just the way it is. Just repeat the Kingroot process again.
Step 5.
Now that you've gained TEMP ROOT again, You'll need to run ADB and push the scripts again. Just follow the same process you did for 5.1.1 BPA1.
Even down to pulling the Batt & Memory card.
Step 6.
Now that the bootloader is unlocked, place phone into DL mode and reconnect to PC and Odin. Now again AP slot navigate to where you placed your Custom recovery.
****NOTE. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 trltevzv.img as TWRP 3.0.2.0 Didn't work for me. And flash disconnecting when phone reboots.
********Congrats you now have a UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and a CUSTOM RECOVERY on 5.1.1 with a CPD1 bootloader.
Time to flash Nseven. *don't forget to reformat your memory card.
To flash Nseven, just copy over the Nseven zip file to your memory card and flash using TWRP.......ENJOY.
* Note. I didn't flash anything else apart from the CPL1 Nseven
Even though I had all the files DL. Just follow the Nseven forum if you experience any problems.
Hope this helps getting you into/onto Nseven.

This is a guide on how to root the Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J730F without TWRP. I've included a backup stock firmware in case you soft-brick your device.
BACKUP STOCK FIRMWARE FOR SOFT-BRICKED DEVICES:
In case you have soft-bricked your device by doing this tutorial incorrectly, download the stock firmware HERE and follow this guide to re-flash your phone, HERE. Do not attempt to root your device again unless you know what you're doing this time.
I also recommend completely backing up your device after successful root - click here to find out how.
WARNINGS:
1. You will have to WIPE ALL YOUR DATA in order to complete this tutorial.
2. You are at a very high risk of screwing up your device if you proceed ahead with this tutorial. Please make sure you know what you are doing, and that you have knowledge of re-flashing your phone. I am not responsible.
Requirements:
1. A Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J730F device;
2. PC;
3. An USB cable;
4. Odin v3.12.7 - Download Here;
5. SuperSU .tar file - Download Here;
6. ADB - Download Here.
Instructions:
1. Download Odin on your PC from the link above, and extract everything from the archive to C:\ODIN (create a new folder);
2. Download the SuperSU .tar file from the link above and place it in your C:\ODIN folder. DON'T extract this archive;
3. Download ADB from the link above and extract the contents of the archive to C:\ADB (create a new folder);
4. Make sure USB Debugging AND OEM Unlock are ENABLED in Settings --> Developer Options on your phone. If you don't know how to activate Developer Options, check this out. After you've enabled these, connect your USB cable from your phone to your PC.
Note: If the phone tells you an access request is being received from your PC's fingerprint, accept it.
6. Open ADB on your computer by going to a Command Prompt, and typing cd C:\ADB;
7. Type adb devices to make sure your phone has been detected by ADB, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. In the Command Prompt, type adb reboot recovery and press enter to reboot your phone into Recovery Mode;
9. Once your phone has booted into Recovery Mode, select the Wipe data/factory reset, and then select Yes when it asks for confirmation:
(Note: THIS STEP IS MANDATORY. If you don't wipe your data, the encryption on your phone will remain and you will be unable to root your phone.)
10. After you've wiped your data, BOOT DIRECTLY INTO DOWNLOAD MODE FROM RECOVERY MODE. You can do this by holding down Volume Down + Home Key + Power Button WHILE STILL IN THE RECOVERY MENU.
Important Note: Ideally, you should still be in the recovery menu after doing a factory reset. Then do the instructions above to enter Download Mode. If you reboot AND THEN go to Download Mode, this method won't work, because your encryption will be put in place again and your phone will become unrootable. Please do the above steps with caution.
11. Hold the buttons down. If you did everything correctly, you should see a screen like this pop up:
12. Press the Volume Up button to proceed to the flashing section. You should see this screen:
13. Now, make sure that the USB cable is still connected to your phone. Open ODIN on your PC, and click on the AP button, then select the SuperSU archive that you downloaded. Make sure that your phone is detected, Odin has to say "Added!!" in the log to the right. If it doesn't say that, re-connect your USB cable to your phone, or switch the USB port on your PC. Then press Start to begin flashing SuperSU and rooting your phone:
14. After Odin has finished flashing your phone, it should say PASS! at the top left of the window, under it's name. Your phone will reboot automatically.
15. Once your phone has rebooted, you should be greeted by the usual setup screen that happens when you factory reset your device. Set up the settings as normal, and install SuperSU from the Play Store HERE once the phone is set up. (This is VERY important.)
16. After you've installed SuperSU, download Titanium Backup from the Play Store, and uninstall the system app "Knox" and everything with "Knox" in their name, and also uninstall "Device Security". They could mess with your boot and spam you with "Unauthorized Action" notification. You don't need them anyway -- once you're rooted, those two don't work anymore.
And that's it!
Your phone should be rooted now! I recommend installing Root Checker to see if you have done everything correctly. It should return this result if so:
Thanks for reading my tutorial! I hope it has helped you root your phone. If you did everything correctly, you should be rooted now. If you have soft-bricked your device and your phone is stuck on the Samsung boot logo, please download the included backup firmware and re-flash your phone, and do not attempt to root your phone again.
Hit the "Thanks!" button if my guide helped you!
Please leave any problems you might have in the comments, and don't be immature. I will not help people with a bad attitude. As I said, if you **** up, it's your problem and I am not responsible. But I will still try to help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendations (Optional):
I recommend the following root-only apps to enhance your rooted experience.
1. Titanium Backup - Must-have app for rooted users. Useful in debloating your phone, freezing apps (hiding them from app drawer and disabling them - even system apps), backing up apps and more.
2. FlashFire - Useful for completely backing up your phone, flashing your phone with ZIPs, restoring backups and more.
3. Link2SD - Useful for moving apps to the SD card or to the Internal Storage, and more.
4. Greenify - Greenify working in root mode is the best battery saving app there is. It hibernates the apps that you don't use so that you can get the most out of your battery.
5. ES File Manager PRO - The perfect file manager. It lets you back up your apps, has a root explorer function, can let you see hidden files, lets you create shortcuts to any file on your home screen, and much more. There is a free version too, but I strongly recommend the PRO version.
Note: You guys can leave root-only apps in the replies as well, I didn't include a full list of them, obviously, so you guys can help people finding the apps they need to enhance their newly unlocked root experience.
If you want me to send you a list of safe to uninstall system apps, PM me.
Quick extra tip: To disable the ugly white frames for icons in the TouchWiz Home launcher, go to Settings -> Display -> Icon Frames and choose Icons Only.
Many thanks for this great guide.
I have two questions: if we root, do we lose the ability to encrypt our phones and use secure folders? Also, do we lose the ability to use NFC?

Android 9 Odin?
I have the Android 9 version of Samsung J7 Pro (SM-J730F) should I still use v3.12.7 of Odin or should I rather use v3.13.1 of Odin?
Hello all,
First of all, I'm posting this here just cause I can't find a thread describing this situation.
***I'M NOT the owner/creator of any file here and is not that easy to find it.
***I'M NOT responsible for any casualities that leads to a bricket phone or else.
***Make sure that you have a backup of all your data that you want to keep.
***On the download link you can find all the files mentioned below.
I advice that if you try to push the recovery.img from others releases, may result a boot loop.
READ ALL THIS THREAD BEFORE START TO DO.
HOW TO SOLVE THE LOOP:
- Run or Install SamFirm software;
- Write the model number and set the region. (You will need to google a little to find out what's the name of yours, mine is ZTO -> Brazil).
- You can fill all the boxes or can check "Auto" to skip it. ("auto" always worked to me).
- And than, click on "Check Update".
***Your mobile don't need to be plugged to do the research.
- If the software find a firmware, UNcheck the option "Check CRC32".
- Download and Decrypt throught the software.
On the download link you can find the release that worked to me, but first, try to find from your region.
BEFORE MAKING MODIFICATIONS, IS NECESSARY TO GO TO (IF IT POSSIBLE):
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK AND USB DEBUGGING FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
- Using any version of Odin v3.09 or higher, connect the device on Download mode and select the firmware on "AP" slot, uncheck the Auto Reboot in Options and hit the start.
- When the flashing finishes, Odin will show a message in green "PASS", remove the battery and unplug the USB cable.
- Reinsert the battery and restart the phone normally.
- Try to use it for how about 20 minutes, letting the update finishes all background tasks. The phone will be very slow but don't worry.
- Restart again when the updates finishes and wait for more 20 minutes with the phone unlocked.
You should pay attention to the battery level after every system reboot.
- Now you are able to flash the recovery.tar.
To install TWRP:
Boot to DOWNLOAD mode.
Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the "recovery.tar" into the AP slot and hit start.
When the flashing finishes, Odin will show a message in green "PASS", remove the battery and unplug the USB cable.
Reinsert the battery and press Vol UP + Home + Power Button till the TeamWin Appears.
DON'T do nothing, just restart again after that.
Reboot again in the Recovery mode and install the SuperSU.zip. MUST TO BE 2.82v or higher, if not, you will need to start over.
*** Don't wipe any cache after install the SuperSU.
