Samsung A5 2017 Root.

If I root my new A5 with something like kingoroot ( assuming it can do it) Will I lose OTA updates?
I have all my stuff backed up with Titanium so need to root to restore I assume? Then I can unroot?

As far as I know, you will lose OTA and it will probably trip Knox. However, if successful, please let us know here. I'm sure people would appreciate it.
You will definitely need to be rooted to do a proper restore. But you might also want to try Samsungs Smart switch. It is able to transfer apps and data between devices. It was a bit of a hit or miss regarding app data though

I think you'll have to wait for someone to make working TWRP recovery for Ax20.
6.0.1 ain't that easy to root without custom recovery.

I used the Samsung switch software in the end.

For now, both Windows and Android version fails to root A3 2017 (A320F/FL).

no root for SM-A520F available yet
I think we have to hope (and wait) until someone compiles TWRP for SM-A520F on a marshmallow kernel base (since there are no official ports even for A510 (2016 A5) i dont think this will happen).
or until chainfire releases a A520F 6.0.1 cf auto root file (he did so for the 510 model, so this is more likely)
until then we must live without adblocker and full backup on that phone

This had supposed to be good for back up & restore, but I couldn't get the pc the recognise my chinese Elephone P8000

Have a wicked Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 and so far the only way to root the phone is with Odin. Waiting to have a Kingroot rooting exploit up and running hopefully soon. I want to install Titanium backup, Adblock, Screen Recorder (record any video with full sound ripping video off my phone (then edit and distribute by phone off a public wireless using a torrent app like FLUD) and Pimp my ROM

try block-this as adblocker...works as good as adaway...

What is the difference between A320F and A320FL?

Hello guys i got a galaxy a3 2017 today but i want to ask if it is possible to flash a official rom from A320F on a A320FL model and what is the deffrince between does models?

Good question.

I want to know too, if I flash the Nougat rom (A320F) on my A320FL, will it work?
If it does, does it void the warranty, and prohibid the use of Knox apps like Secure Folder?

I got my self a A320FL and i did flash the russian version of A320F only the AP via odin and im now on nougat and i dont think it will void the warranty because its all official

Switching models will Trip KNOX!
You can't switch from models Odin won't let you do that, even if it's the Official Samsung Firmware
Only by Unlocking OEM Odin will let you (Cross)Flash the Official Frimware, and yes tripping KNOX!
No more Secure Folder & Samsung Pay

These are all stock versions from around the world. No root needed.

Where can I learn how to install this new rom?

Thanks for uploading these. Back when I had Galaxy S7, I was able to flash the F firmware on a SKT variant (Korean) S7. I wonder if I can do the same with G965N. Specifically, I'd like to install G965F firmware on G965N. I know that I probably would not flash CSC, Modem, or BL from the F firmware but I at least want to use G965F's system, without tripping KNOX. If anyone had any luck on this, please let me know.

download N version, unzip, no luck odin fail to flash

May security patch for SM-G960U, will pass SafeNet. Yes I know it says Galaxy S9+. Trust me it's not.

Where did you get this? Where is it from? I'm downloading it now, but it will take a few hours.

I didn't upload it but this is the same version Verizon is pushing right now. Works on all US carrier S9's though.

these won't work on F/FD
tried to bypass the eom lock but just couldn't boot up

So How do I go from this to a functionnal, "as new" S9 not in "factory binaries" mode ?
Thanks!

LOL, how long has it been since that was possible?

Idk why a big deal about tripping Knox if root was available from day one as of day one I would of tripped Knox.

Gear S3 not working after I rooted with magisk

Hello guys
I recently rooted my sm-g970f S10E with magisk.
After the root I can no longer pair my Gear S3 Frontier with my phone. The process is stuck on "finishing pairing" on the last dot and loops forever (left it the whole night running with the hope it might work but it did not.)
I tested pairing with another phone and it work fine so the problem is with my phone.
I used the Magisk hide and the package name change options but both don't do the trick.
I am running Android 10 ONEUI V2.5
Would love if someone encountered it or know how to help me.

Hello @shaymench123
I have a Galaxy S10e. I am not on a offical Samsung Rom but on a LineagOS 18.1 and I using a GEAR Sport (1st Generation) but I thing the problem is the same:
After installing the "Galaxy Wear"-App and the 1st Start I got only the information, that I am not using an offical Samsung System (or something like this) and the Apps ends. Before I had the Galaxy S10e I had an Moto G5 with LineageOS 17.1 and there where no problems with all the Samsung-Software (beside the Problem with the 1st LogOn on Samsung Health with never Version - but this is an other story). After some searching I got the information, that the Galaxy Wear Software on Samsung Phones only starts if this system is not modified (Bootloader closed, Original Recovery, no root,...). The Way to get it running was to change the Phones Fingerprint. How to do you can find here:

.. This is not working for me. If you finding solution, this may works for you.
Yes, i tried to change for htc, it may do a bootloop.

Try firewall blocking all the Bud related apps.
Wearables is a pain even on stock phones...

do you have magisk installed? try putting Samsung Weareable app under Magisk Hide
if you don't have magisk, is your device certified on the play store
I have a custom rom, no magisk but I have play store certification and it works fine

Have you been able to fix it? I really want to install a custom rom but if i cant use my galaxy watch its not worth it

Try flashing this (with magisk) https://github.com/Pixel-Props/pixel.features
clear wearable app data and cache

Hi,
I recently flashed my S22 Ultra with a custom ROM, and unfortunately I can't connect to Galaxy Watch SM-R800 either. I've tried everything with no results. Hopefully there will be a solution soon.

Any Luck ?
