SM-J500F General Questions - Samsung Galaxy J Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have just purchased this device and have rooted it correctly with CF Root, it is working perfectly. Now I do have some questions though:
1. What app or technique can I use to remove the bloatware and preinstalled applications that Samsung put on this phone? Will this brick my phone or affect performance in any way?
2. Is it safe to flash TWRP 3.0.0 on top of this CF Root? Do I need to do anything else than the simple Odin flash? How can I not install SuperUser with the TWRP flash?
Thank you.

1. I used Titanium backup to delete samsung and google apps I wasn't interested in. So I suggest you to use that app to eliminate the bloatware
2. I flashed twrp, then root with cf root odin and then again Twrp 3.0.0 because it wasn't showing at recovery reboot.
I hope this helps! Always check compatibility with your phone model (Mine is J500FN) with twrp and root. You can see it in Settings/info

I am use J500F
Can u give me link of your twrp 3.0 & CF Auto Root

Witch version of Odin should I use to root j500F (there are so many) I tried to root my device so many times with no results.
I want to ask you guys about the process that I should follow

Did anyone noticed the device running slow and applications stopping responding for a few seconds?
My J500FN it became like that after CF-rooting+twrp+xposed+apps2sd. I'm just not sure with modification is causing this lagging.

Noob here, first off I unrooted a while ago, then took the ota 4.3, is the bootloader locked? Cause according to the cf auto root site if your bootloader is locked you'll probably brick your phone if you flash the auto root? Also do these steps have to be in order? I tried rooting by other means and installing supersu first, wouldn't work so I removed knox with the script, and then updated supersu in the play store and still nothing, can I try to flash cf auto root now and then update supersu in the play store? Thanks a million, need this thing rooted

Well, I'm not bricked, so I think that answers your question about the bootloader.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? I assume so since you say you flashed the Knox remover script. If you do have a custom recovery installed, just flash the SuperSu zip, then update in the Play Store.

Ah it is so nice to have root again... Thank you so much for putting up with a noob.
Crazy events of a noob that lead me to root
Installed ota 4.3
Tried to root and install superuser by odin and then custom recovery to flash
Root didn't happen because of knox
Could only get to CWM custom recovery if it was right after odin and battery pull?...
Flashed the script to remove knox, which did remove knox
Tried the same root method as above and no root access
Tried supersu and then updating in play with no success
Changed security update settings etc nothing
Reset delvik, cache, permissions, etc nothing
Different root method and files for odin, and custom recovery stuck
Used files from this thread, went into custom recovery and flashed supersu
Installed supersu from play store...
Updated the binary using custom recovery
Rebooted...
ROOT access, all root applications work fine and root sticks even after reboots
I never messed with cf auto root method
THANK you guys for your time effort and sharing, helps noobs out like me a lot!
Sweet! I've missed root since I upgraded using the OTA file you provided. Looking forward to much other great things coming from you
Thank You

Method two absolutely worked. Thank you so much. I was scared to flash TWRP but knowing you did it gave me the courage. Have full root and happy
questions about this root
Hi, I'm a little nervous with this root but I need the root as the phone is useless without it.
I have the [email protected] galaxy s3 I747 will all these files work with it im just double checking.
Also do you flash the knox remover the same way as you flash other things with the pda button?
Will I still be able to do factory restores?
Also I saw that knox remover removes a lot of apps, Can you install these deleted apps from the market if you need too?
THanks please let me know asap.
THANKS!!!! your a lifesaver didn't know how much longer i could take without root
Dunno where you guys got your 4.3 update from and how you got it working but I did the OTA and Root just does not want to stick. I used knox remover and Cf auto root but it loses root after a restart. SuperSu never opens and crashes as soon as you open it. I have a feeling Cf auto root is just not compatible for the ota 4.3 i747??

The second method worked great. I believe (and the way that worked for me) that you use your custom recovery to flash the knox script, not using Odin and pda. I don't think it removed anything other than knox, there is a different script for removing knox and att bloatware. Should still be able to factory reset... But can't guarantee that.

Root & Knox
When you go to Settings/More tab/Security/Device Administrators, You have KNOX and Android Device Manage. Both are unchecked on mine. So does that mean Knox is not working if unchecked and safe to try to Root?????

Those settings are just for granting device administrator privileges. If unchecked, Knox is still doing it's thing, just not at an administrative level.
Yes, it is safe to try and root.
I have Android Device Manager as admin. That way if I ever lose my device I can just log in to the Play Store and locate and / or wipe the device.
To do this just flash the recovery.img file using odin and clicking the pda button correct?
Is there a way to freeze Knox instead of deleting it in the event I would want to go back to full stock?
After you are rooted, use an app like Titanium Backup(pro) or My Backup pro. Both will freeze it.

I tried method 1 and failed.
Then tried method 2, but using a CMW tar that was posted yesterday.
I seem to be rooted!
So far no issues.. Just need to get everything setup as I had it in the leak.

Thanks indymx, may get the nerve up to try it on my AT&T S3. Let me know if you run into any problems. Guess Rom Manager and other programs that require Root are working Ok and you have rebooted few times to be sure it keeps Root?? Have Happy Thanksgiving.

Dude chainfire released a root for E5 E500H why you use kingoroot?
here is the link https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ search for your model and download it then flash it via Odin
What is the difference between the two? Am using kingroot with no issues on E500H or is there something I didnt know?

1.Kingroot doesnt trigger knox while cfroot does.
2.kingroot installs its own superuser management app.Cf autoroot uses supersu.
3.kingroot is network based while cfautoroot requires flashing by odin
Users have reported that kingroot root disappered after reboot
Root doesn't disappear after boot for me, it's permanent
but it's not stable as CF
Will try it and see
Is it ok to use cf autoroot. I already rooted with kingroot but root dissappear after reboot. Any special requirement for cfautoroot? Simply i should glash via odin right.
your knox will be tripped donot follow this kingoroot if yiu have updated ypur device to latest version you will loose the my knox feature of your device which is best feature of samsung so far and exclusive also...
can the root be reversed? if so,how??

Systemless Root: SuperSU v2.64... No (custom) Kernel needed

**IGNORE POST #1 ONLY FOLLOW POST #2-#4!!!**

1. MUST flash a 100% stock (Odin) firmware.
2. DL SuperSU v2.6x
3. Install custom recovery
4. Install new SuperSU zip
5. Let it run through the process then reboot.

I think that this is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
If I read Chainfire's notes correctly, this is only for systems running Marshmallow, which would let us out for a while. But....
Once Samsung updates our OS to Marshmallow or they get CM 13 working on our phones (currently a work in progress) this could allow us to use Android Pay on a rooted phone.

I wasn't sure if CM13 is already working on International phones.

From Chainfire's post:
Rooting procedure:
- flash/upgrade to Marshmellow
- flash modified boot.img
- flash/boot TWRP and sideload latest...
Joe, be careful if you try this. Looks like you need to Odin back to stock.

That is the key question. Also, would Google detect the phone as being rooted.
For the Knox part, someone with a "virgin" phone would need to test. Both Joe and I have already rooted using the current method, so Knox is already tripped.

Has anyone tried rooting with this method and trying samsumg pay?
Decided to give this a try. Odin flashed OL1. Booted OL1 with no problem. Odin flashed TWRP, without reboot. Rebooted directly into TWRP and flashed SU beta 2.65. It booted without problem with root access. When I go into SU, it says there is an update available, but I just cancel out.
I was hoping android pay would work as I could never get it to work except stock unrooted. I started android pay and got the message "android pay cannot be used." I realized I needed to unroot in SU. I did that and still get the same message.
EDIT: Tried it again. Odined OL1, rebooted and android pay worked fine. Odined TWRP, booted into TWRP, fine. Rebooted into rom, bootlooped at Samsung logo, over and over. Rebooted into recovery and flashed SU 2.65. Rebooted into rom with no problem. Android Pay no longer works.

For those asking about whether this root method trips knox or not. Yes this will trip knox. Anytime you use odin to flash non official Samsung firmware/software then it forever trips knox. Therefore flashing any custom recovery will absolutely trip knox... forever.
Samsung and Android pay apps will not work on rooted devices. Period. The pay apps are intended for official factory software for obvious reasons. Security is the main focus with these types of apps that deal with your personal banking/credit card information. Hence a rooted device is not considered "secure".
using this method and my S6 is rooted without custom kernel which i prefer.
however, it seems like i cant use titanium backup to restore any backed up apps. Titanium app just runs endlessly.

This may be a weird question, but we don't have a stock kernel to flash. Would there be a way to make a zip of a stock kernel and then use this to get root? I'd like to have a custom ROM but with the stability of a stock Kernel. This is the first phone I can think of that I've owned that didn't have a stock kernel with root.

Want to get rid of KingRoot

I updated my Z1 Compact from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 using FlashTool and a Stock ROM
I then searched for the easiest root available and it seemed to be KingRoot and it went fine... the device was rooted quite fast.
But then i read from other people that KingRoot installs all kinds of crap - and i noticed that too
I couldn't install SuperSU or make it work so i just wanted to get completely rid of KingRoot again..
I found a SuperSU KingRoot remover using a Terminal - but that didn't work
So now i've Flashed the device again and factory reset it + updated to latest 5.1.1 ...
So now is the question :
Is my device clean of KingRoot ??
how to tell ??
Thanks

Maybe too late, but the best thing would have been to install recovery once you were rooted, then you can use recovery to flash a whole new system with su instead of KingRoot. If you want to root again with KingRoot, you can try that. Once you've rooted, install recovery, and download a prf or other stock based rom zip file that has su included, then boot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash new rom.

You may be confusing flashing supersu in a custom recovery, with rooting your phone. There are a number of steps you have to go through before you can gain root on the Verizon Note 4. Flashing a custom recovery will not root your phone. You have to first follow the steps here, before you can flash a custom recovery, then flash supersu, in order to gain access to your root.

Try flashing the supersu zip in your custom recovery, instead of installing it through the app store. You also have an N910F, this thread is for N910V. You'd probably get a more accurate response if you posted to the N910F thread.

Manually flash SuperSU 2.79 (or later) if you are prior to 7.0.1 at this point systemless root becomes necessary .....and I don't know man . I have it working on 7.1.1 but it came loaded I didn't have to install ....hmmmm I'd start at chain fires web site see what he says . ignore anything involving cfauto root unless u achieved root by this means in which case u r in the wrong forum

You may be confusing flashing supersu in a custom recovery, with rooting your phone. There are a number of steps you have to go through before you can gain root on the Verizon Note 4. Flashing a custom recovery will not root your phone. You have to first follow the steps here, before you can flash a custom recovery, then flash supersu, in order to gain access to your root.
So I have successfully restored my note 4 to 5.1.1 not im going for root and a custom rom. ill keep you updated.:good:

When you flash supersu it does install app and binary :laugh: see if u got to the point u could flash from twrp it would signify you are on unlocked boot loader. Without unlocking root will only persist til reboot then process would need to be repeated. The only way to fix this is to be able to mod the boot IMG which requires developer mode to be enabled . this is notable by the presence of an unlocked lock on the first splash screen (secondary program loader splash)
