Because you haven't flashed the boot.img and recovery.img from Lollipop after rooting.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] govind.madhu93:
No.. first i flashed cf auto root. Den phone reboots by itself.. it gets stuck on dsamsung screen. I cant go to the home screen at all. Without that how can i flash boot and recovery files ? Dats the peoblem
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] mygalaxya:
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.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] govind.madhu93:
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.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

In the first boot itself the phone gets stuck. It should boot into home screen. Then only i can use flashify.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] mygalaxya:
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.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] govind.madhu93:
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

I've a big problem, I need help please..

I've tried to flash stock firmware, but it failed. Then I tried to flash this firmware again (wich is in the first post); It was this one I used to root my phone.

But this time, if all seemed to go well through Odin (PASS!), I'm still stuck on the Samsung boot logo! I cannot boot the phone (the option in Odin was to "Auto Reboot"), nor I can power off, nor I can boot in recovery...

Please what can I do to boot the" phone?

I've tried to flash again TWRP from [MENTION=6446790]mygalaxya[/MENTION] but I have a problem, Odin doesn't accept the file because of md5 problem (I have downloaded it three times)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have no idea on what to do now??
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] jimbomodder:
Ok which model do u have for 1. Also if flashing cf-autoroot works then just make sure u have the correct 5.0.2 firmware for your phone. It should flash ok.

Thanks for your reply!

So I eventually could boot into download mode, and I have succesfully flashed the stock firmware via Odin. Ouf... Surprisingly, I'm still rooted!

I've tried to flash this firmware again (from first post) : it does not pass, and the phone reboots on stock firmware (rooted). Well... The only issue still present is that I cannot put on the wifi... You have an idea?

Oh yes, I don't have any recovery now, it boots in a "black" (like dead tv) screen...

- Download CF-Auto-Root

- Boot your phone into Download Mode

- Start Odin, load "CF-Auto-Root-a5ulteskt-a5ulteskt-sma500s.tar.md5" (or any of your choice) and flash it to your phone

you don't have to rename *md5 file and you don't have to extract it.

the contents inside the file are recovery.img and cache.img.ext4, not "recovery.img and boot.img"

Of course but we need a new cf auto root for Marshmallow, but now you can use TWRP to flash SuperSU for Marshmallow to have root, it's more easier.

I will update the instructions on the first post for Marshmallow.

Just a simple flash from twrp does the job

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] supertiger1234:

Assume I have an A500FU on stock 5.0.2 that is not rooted. What is the safest way to get root after installing 6.0.1?

Can I simply flash TWRP with ODIN, then use TWRP to flash the SuperSU package?

Do I need specific versions of TWRP and SuperSU to work with 6.0.1?

tnx
