Hey guys, I decided to update the thread in hopes of clearing confusion.
Currently I've found two methods of rooting that seem to help people.
Method 1 - E.K IT Services: ekitservices.com currently run by senior member @djerick3 *Not a sponsorship*
Method 2 - CF-Auto Root: Very simple and easy to use, all you need a:
Windows PC (7 - 10)
USB Cable
Step 1 - Download CF-Auto Root for the SM-G920P.
Step 2 - Using either adb (adb reboot download) or hardware keys (turn the device off and hold in Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button once prompted, press Volume Up)
Step 3 - Plug the device into the PC and open the included Odin in the CF-Auto zip
Step 4 - Click the "AP" button and choose the included md5 file
Step 5 - Make sure to check the "Option(s)" tab and make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. Then switch back to the main tab and press start.
Step 6 - Wait as CF-Auto Root will begin to boot and root, note that the process can take while. Upon rebooting you should have the SuperSU app (Note. If its not there, you can find it HERE)
Step 6 - Enjoy
< ----- Optional - TWRP Install ------ >
As of right now, current TWRP releases are not working on marshmallow. Lucky though @ram9200 created a custom version of the tool that should work
Step 1 - Download the TWRP Tar file
Step 2 - Boot back into Odin mode and flash via Odin on your PC (use the "AP" tab once more)
Hope this helps:good: as always though, of you need help feel free to to send me a PM

Hey guys, after all the confusion on rooting 6.0.1, I decided to throw together a guide real quick (hope this helps)
To do this, you will need:
TWRP (This is a special version only for the Sprint SM-G920P and is meant to be flashed with Odin)
SuperSU 2.68
Odin
Steps)
1) Boot your device into download/odin mode (adb reboot download) or (while the device is off hold home+power+volume down then you will be taken to a light blueish screen saying "Warning", just press volume up)
2) Once your device is in download/odin mode, plug it into your windows PC and open Odin then in odin, click the "AP" button then find where you downloaded the TWRP .tar and press start
3) After that, your device should reboot into the system, if present use "adb reboot recovery" if you don't have adb, turn the device off and hold home+power+volume up and your should get some red text in the upper left hand corner then you should be brought to TWRP where you can flash SuperSU (to get SuperSU onto your device, you can use TWRP's built in MTP function or use adb, I recommend using adb but TWRP's MTP is also good (to enable MTP, click on the "mount" button then make sure to tap the "Cache","Data" and "System" buttons, if your PC does not detect the device, tap "Disable MTP" then tap "Enable MTP". Then your device should be detected where you can then move SuperSU to your device and flash it,
If you need any help, please feel free to PM me:good:

Help
Same issue here. when recovery is booted. blue update screen then original recovery. OEM is on
---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------
im getting the blue updateing as well. then goes to original recovery/ OEM is on
unchecked the auto reboot and followed directions and am now rooted. Thanks!
This worked for me! Thank you so much!
A few modifications to the overall guide:
a. Turn on OEM unlock (I forgot to do this first)
2. Turn off auto-boot in ODIN (I needed to do this, as TWRP would not load the first time)
d. Move SuperSU zip folder to phone (same as other methods)
Now just need a good custom ROM...
I unchecked auto-boot in Odin and turned on OEM unlock, but it isn't working. I boot into download mode and apply the TWRP, but it is just stuck in download mode with the white bar at like 99% complete. It doesn't hit 100%. I forced my phone off and then booted into recovery right after and now my recovery mode is a white screen. Not really sure what to do.

Thank U!!!

First off, let me say that I did not develop this stuff and all thanks should go to those that did. Special thanks to noobnl, mskip and TeamEpic for all their work.
So here we go.
General Disclaimer:
Use these tools and this guide at your own risk. Doing these things wrong/improperly/etc. has the ability to completely ruin your device and YOU assume all risk and responsibility if that happens.
Also note that Rooting WILL violate the manufacturers warranty on the device making it ineligible for warranty repair. If you have insurance on the device however they MAY still replace it for the cost of your deductible.
Root Method Starts Here.
1. Download and install the Samsung USB drivers from Samsung's website
2. Turn on Debugging on your Phone
* Open Settings
* Select "Developer options" in the System section
* Check the box for "USB Debugging"
3. Plug you phone up to your computer using the USB cable and allow the drivers to install.
4. Download CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip from the bottom of this post
* I recommend making yourself a nice little GS3 folder in your downloads folder for all this stuff so it's easy to find
* DO NOT UNZIP!!
5. Copy CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip on to the Root of your GS3s INTERNAL storage (if you put it into a folder, you may have a hard time finding it later, but that's on you).
* DO NOT UNZIP!!
6. Unplug you phone
7. Power off your phone
^^ once u have now odin time......
1. Download Odin3-v3.04 from the bottom of this post
2. Extract Odin3-v3.04 into it's own folder somewhere where you can easily find it.
3. Download fixboot.tar from the bottom of this post to somewhere you can easily find it.
4. Reboot your phone into download mode
* Hold down Volume Down, Home and then power until Warning!! message is displayed
* Press Volume Up to continue.
5. Your phone should now be in download mode and displaying a green Android and say Downloading. If it is not, power off your phone by holding down the power button and then try to get into Download mode again. Do NOT progress until you have done so.
6. Go into the folder you extracted Odin3 into and run Odin3 v3.04.exe
7. Connect your phone to your computer via USB
8. In Odin, the COM box all the way to the left should turn blue and it should say Added!! in the Message area.
** Click on PDA and in the Open window that pops up navigate to and open the Tar With CWM from below file you downloaded earlier
** Verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked
** Click Start. Once the process is completed you device should automatically reboot and there will be a green PASS! box in the upper left of the window. You can then close Odin.
** Power off your device and boot into Recovery mode
* To boot into Recovery mode: Hold down Volume Up, Home and then the Power button until you are in Recovery (it should say CWM-based Recovery at the top of the screen)
**. Install CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip that you copied onto your internal memory
* Navigating ClockWorkMod Recovery: Use the Volume Up and Down arrow keys to change the highlighted option and the home key to select an option. The Back softkey works, but will not be lit and will take you back one screen.
Installing a zip:
* Select "Install zip from sdcard" (Yes, I know it's on the internal storage.)
* Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
* Select the zip you want to install; in this case CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip
* Select "Yes" to begin installing
**. Once the process has completed use the Back arrow to get back to the main recovery screen (remember, it works, but it's not lit) and select "reboot system now." Once your device boots up you should now be 'Rooted,' but there's still a few more things to be done
Reset counter: triangle away from playstore and reset the counter.
15. Install BusyBox. There are actually several ways to do this, but the BusyBox app in the Google Play Market is quick and easy. Install it, grant it SuperUser permissions and it'll walk you through the rest and advise you when to update.
16. Update your Binaries.
* Open the Superuser app
* Get into settings (the wrench icon in the upper right of the screen)
* Select Su binary under the General section towards the bottom of the list
* Select Update
**.Your device is now rooted and all set.
** optional: update cwm using rom manager or use img from clockworkmods website. Flash through adb.

Ohhh how I love root. Let me count theee ways: ClockWorkMod recovery (and nandroid backups), ROMs, TitaniumBackup, AdAway (/system/etc/hosts), adb over wireless, free wifi tethering, permanent debloating, kernel overclocking, CIFS (windoze) network shares, poking around /data/data in a root adb shell, yadda yadda...

2.download CWM SUPERSU V0.99 installable ZIP: I took off download link until further notice. From Chainfire " SUPERSU. ZIP does not work on all devices, needs fix. Note that if you are already rooted, installing through Market is by far the easiest way to install SuperSU !". More infor here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

11.Install SuperSu.
12.Reboot.Done
Option 2 : Only Root
Download this CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t03g-gtn7100.zip
and extract it to .tar
Procedure :
1.Open Odin and select PDA tab

7.Reboot device and you will have superSU in application drawer.
Option 3 : Root with Exynos Abuse Apk
3.Root with apk No counter reset needs, Easiest - Credit goes to Chainfire, alephzain

2.Install application as routine apk installation and open it.

How to unroot Exploit :
Open Exynos Abuse app, uncheck disable explot & Disable Exploit on boot then select Unroot device
Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.
Since Chainfire support our note now . if you want reset counter for warranty then download TRIANGLE AWAY from play store which will do the job.Still dont know what is it, go here for more infor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114.
If you want to unroot for some reason :
From stock rom and root by Chainfire method all you need to do : Triangle Away app ,SuperSU / setting/ full unroot. Reboot into Recovery / Factory reset.
From custom rom : reflash stock image via Odin .reroot by CF auto root,reset counter with Triangle Away App,SuperSU/Setting/Full unroot . Recovery / Factory reset.

Common question about reseting counter
I have reset counter but system status still 'custom'
You should have stock recovery (Opton 2)
If you already have stock recovery(CF Auto root) then reset counter first
then wipe cache + wipe data(factory reset) + re wipe cache
You should now have system status 'official'
I have rest counter but after reboot again it goes to 1
This happen if you have rooted with CUSTOM RECOVERY(Opton 1)
This is neither error of recovery nor triangle away. This happens due to new bootloader which have auto checksum for recovery, when you reboot to custom recovery count will raise.
To prevent this you need to have play version of Triangle away, and you should check (enable) 'Auto reset at boot'. Again this feature depends on kernel/recovery is supported or no

Weird, I guess the development forums for 150 other phones must be wrong then. Their moderators must be slacking.
p.s.-no root, no development.

Yes, you are right! It belongs in the general section and not stickied in the dev section (like every other phone) so it can get lost on page 8 and more people **** up their phone.
Seriously. Go in the dev section of 20 different phones and tell me what percentage have a root method stickied right at the top.
I also was able to root my phone with this method.
Back to Stock?

Are we able to bring it back to stock just in case?

You can find how to root here. FULL CREDITS GO TO Zionator as he wrote up the instructions.
Easy Guide to Root :
1. Go to Rooting Guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...6#post63637426
Download only the P605 modded boot IMG and then come back here. Move the tar to tablet. "In my opinion that guide is very confusing" This is much more simple...
2. Go to TWRP (download version 2.8.7.0) - https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/
Download the img.tar This file you keep on pc to flash via Odin.
3. Go to SuperSU v2.52 Beta - https://download.chainfire.eu/743/Su...erSU-v2.52.zip
Download the zip. Move the zip to tablet.
4. Reboot the tablet into download mode and open Odin on the PC then connect the tablet to PC. In Odin click AP tab and locate the TWRP and uncheck Auto-Reboot then hit start. When done hold the power button + vol up button "the vol button furthest from power button" + home button til you see red writing on top right hand corner. This can take a while so don't panic just wait.
5. When finished booting into TWRP pull Spen and click Install then find modded boot img "remember to switch between IMG & ZIP mode in the lower left hand corner" Now flash the boot img. Do not reboot just go back and switch back to ZIP mode and flash SuperSU when done reboot.
6. Wait for the boot to finish. You are now rooted.
I hope this makes it easy for you!!!
thank you for the guide buhohitr.
worked perfectly for me

You can find how to root here. FULL CREDITS GO TO Zionator as he wrote up the instructions.
Easy Guide to Root :
1. Go to Rooting Guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...6#post63637426
Download only the P605 modded boot IMG and then come back here. Move the tar to tablet. "In my opinion that guide is very confusing" This is much more simple...
2. Go to TWRP (download version 2.8.7.0) - https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/
Download the img.tar This file you keep on pc to flash via Odin.
3. Go to SuperSU v2.52 Beta - https://download.chainfire.eu/743/Su...erSU-v2.52.zip
Download the zip. Move the zip to tablet.
4. Reboot the tablet into download mode and open Odin on the PC then connect the tablet to PC. In Odin click AP tab and locate the TWRP and uncheck Auto-Reboot then hit start.

Unlocking your phone doesn't change much
ROOT:
Get these files first: Samsung USB Drivers, TWRP, SuperSU, and ODIN (select version 3.12.3). Extract ODIN.
Next, make sure OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging is turned on in the developer settings (go to settings -> about device -> build number and tap it 7-8 times)
Boot your s6 egg into download mode by turning your phone off, and holding down power button + home button + volume down button. Plug your phone into your computer. Open up Odin, and put the TWRP tar file into AP. Press Start, and as soon as PASS shows up, your device should reboot.
Move the SuperSU zip onto your device, and then turn off your phone.
Now boot it into recovery (power+home+volume up and hold), and TWRP should load up. Select Install, and navigate to where you put the SuperSU file. Tap on it, and swipe to flash the file. After it runs through, reboot your phone by selecting reboot from the menu. It may boot several times, but you should be good to go. This root method works 95% of the time ( I used it and it's good)
If you want to flash a custom kernel and/or ROM, go to their respective XDA threads for specific instructions.
sir thanks for the reply one last question. I'm using other carrier, specifically i'm not in the United States, i can well use my phone like an unlocked one. Is there a chance that if i mod this one it would lock itself? thanks

SIM Unlocks are specific to a device, not it's operating system. Flashing a custom ROM will not remove the SIM lock. You world have to either use the T-Mobile device unlock app or use another application to network unlock your device.
hands down easy to follow rooting sir! thank yoso much for the help. just to verify what custom rom are you using? if any

What happens if something goes wrong.
1.SV Error Device 1 library 0 - You installed the wrong firmware look for the right firmware.To check go in recovery mode and look at the A105XXXXXX and then look for a download. Remider AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
2.vbmeta.img error - you have the wrong vbmeta.img file. Redownload the original firmware and take out the right vbmeta.img next time you try flashing. Reminder AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
3.A blue screen telling you to use samsung switch emergency update. That wont work so just flash the original firmware and try flashing twrp again.
4.When i try to boot in it gets me into TWRP - Thats just because that your data is corrupted and to fix it while in TWRP mode press wipe then swipe after its done press Reboot To System. That should be a fix
5.My internal storage is just full of weird numbers and I can't download anything on it! Go in TWRP then wipe,press advanced wipe, click on internal storage and data, swipe. That should fix the error
6.Boootlooping or Bricked! Installed corrupted firmware or the recovery was f-ed up. Then install the right firmware and redo the steps!
If you have issues during the process send it in the comment ill try to respond as fast as i can!
i notice thread title says exynos only.. u do know they are all exynos including a102u and a102u1 right?
Oh. Alright thanks for telling me.
Press on app? I have nothing in odin saying that, do you mean ap?
Edit: guess not....i'm bricked, stuck on galaxy logo, device not recognized by pc, holoding power button wont force reboot, nothing lol.
Edit2: can force reboot holding volume down and power but instantly stuck on logo again, cannot power off or enter download, nothing...bricked. Followed this guide to the letter. I assumed when you said app in odin you meant ap since there is no app button. My bootloader unlocked then I went to flash in odin the tar i made with patched boot and vbmeta, along with recovery linked. I used matching firmware to what my A10 has also. Would not mind if i could get back into download mode, but that looks impossible now.
Edit3: Managed to get download mode but had to be so quick...hopefully I can reflash stock now.

Im sorry for that and yes i meant AP.
If you wanted to reboot you had to hold vol up vol down and power at the same time and you sure that you unlocked the bootloader and used the right firmware?
Also tell me the AP and from which source have you downloaded it :laugh:

The corruption was my side, I was using a download manager, but when I downloaded through chrome it was all good. As I said, schoolboy error on my part for not checking md5. I used sammobile site for the firmware.

have you fixed the storage reduced to 16gb problem?
I have a Samsung galaxy sm-a10. I've tried everything here, even combination files. The error I ALWAYS get is 'failed flashing ROM... OEM lock'
Of course I have unlocked OEM in developer options, but still I get this error in the bootloader.
Any ideas?
