So you think I sould do a costom recovery with TWRP or should I root it with oneclickroot?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rick092:
Ok, so now I have TWPR on my phone but I don't know how to get a new firmware on.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Download a desired zip file which can be found in how to s5 neo thread.

Put it on your phone (if not downloaded trough phone)

Reboot to recovery

Either power of your phone and hold volume up + home key and power button at same time.

When you see booting recovery you can release the combination .

Now press on install and navigate to the zip you downloaded and select it and you're going to install a new firmware.

Once it's installed it's recommended to wipe factory reset (this can be done trough twrp)

But first of all backup your current firmware just in case (with twrp)

Had the same problem twice. In one case my device wasn't rootet and on stock rom. No solution yet.

I'm on 6.0.1 stock rom since 4 days now, no probs at the moment. Waiting for root for 6.0.1, let's see what comes up here in the next days

Hi, my first post here...

I have the g903f variant, but on chainfire supported devices list, only android 5.1.1 is there, but not for android 6.0.1. On the other hand, g903m variant has android 6.0.1 supported. as far as I understand, the diference between the models is mainly the target market (f=europe, m=brazil). I have also already successfully rooted a samsung s3 9305 with nordic root file instead of european, and had no problems related to root (breaking the screen was me being clumsy :). Now my qoestion is, did anyone try using the g903m root file on a g903f, and if so, did it work or did it cause more problems than it is worth?

mervetp,

I have a Cdn carrier unlocked S5 Neo with Android 6.0.1 installed, and could not get it rooted until I saw the mention of using Chainfire's SM-G903F (LMY47X.G903FXXU1AOKC) instead of using what I thought to be the correct version (SM-G903W, MMB29K.G903WVLU1BPF1). Downloaded 903F, used Odin v3.11.1 to put it into the phone. I now have a rooted S5 Neo with 6.0.1 already installed. Hope that this works for you.

Hi, I used sm-g903f cf-autoroot 5.1.1 for my F variant s5 neo and it seems to work.

BUT after some reboots the phone hangs with "system process not responding" and then, root is killed. I need help, what about the supersu cleaning file, or maybe i need to put root in system, actually, everything (magisk, xposed,...) is system-less. I have current 6.0.1 BQC1 stock rom.

I think it isnt about xposed etc., and even new s5neolte twrp 3.1.0-0 -> it must be some error in su folder or something.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Publiuss:
Hi

did you leave OEM unlock switch on (leave in on!)?

Did you perform some OTA update?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] HighFidelity2k:
OEM unlock is permanently on. OTA Update didnt work for last BQC1 Update on S5 Neo so i did it via Smart Switch PC.

I uninstalled XPosed systemless from topjohnwu for magisk and now root seems to work again. But i want xposed to work, too. Maybe i have to uninstall all xposed modules before installing the framework again.

Gentlemen, I tried flashing cf-auto-root for M variant (firmware is at UBU1BPK1), but after ODIN Pass! it reboots and just show the message "Recovery is not seandroid enforced".

After that, it reboots again to normal firmware, not rooted.

I even tried un-checking the "auto reboot" option in ODIN, and doing a manual reboot to recovery mode (as it was supposed to force the cf-root to install).

But it just repeats the same behaviour. I kept holding vol_up+button+power and it kept rebooting trying to enter recovery but just showing the message "recovery is not seandroid enforced".

At the time I released the buttons, it rebooted to normal firmware, not rooted.

Tried different Odin versions (3.10.6, 3.12...), nothing did the trick.

Any tips? May I have to try the F variant? (my phone is dual sim, don't know if it'd disable second sim slot)

I've also enabled "USB debug" and "unlocked OEM" under developer settings.

Couldn't find "reactivation lock" option under account settings / security settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ciberglo:
Just to add that I finally got it working.

Flashed a different country variant (BVO - Bolivia), that has BQA1 firmware and also have the same Modem/CP Version as my ZTO (Brazil) in BPF1. I was afraid of choosing a different variant from Brazil with different modem version, and being not able to use my local area signal provider.

It worked like a charm. I wiped data/factory reset. Then I flashed the BQA1 firmware using ODIN 3.12.3 (last version). Logged in google account (didn't logged on samsung account, neither choosed a lock screen).

Then, flashed cf-auto-root from autoroot.chainfire.eu for g903m BQA1 and it worked like a charm!

Don't use this root method, use Magisk. It's far better.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cthulchu:
can I reroot it using Magisk without restoring the firmware?

Also it would be great to mention that Magisk is better in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LuciferIII:
To remove root, use the root manager app that you got while following this thread's tutorial. There should be a "full unroot", then you can flash magisk. Just be sure to have "OEM Unlock" on.

Edit: Also, this thread is a bit old, magisk wasn't really a thing then. And the OP of this thread wasn't active for a while i think
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cthulchu:
I see. Do we have a topic like this for magisk? I mean to root Galaxy S5 Neo using it?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LuciferIII:
There is no device specific needs for using magisk. Download the magisk zip and you can flash it on (almost) any phone.

Just search for "How to install magisk" on google or YouTube. It doesn't matter what device you have. It's universal.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] eetteri:
Just #rooted

I just rooted my Neo and thought someone could get easier with step-by-step notes. These are almost a straight copy from my post @ XCover3 dev forum.

First I got all needed software:
• USB-driver for samsung
• Odin v3.13.1
• TWRP zip (twrp-3.3.1-0-s5neolte)
• Magisk zip (v20.1) and this should be downloaded to phone memory or sd

And now to get TWRP to phone there should be settings allowing USB debugging and OEM unlock

Then:
1. Download-mode, Pow+Home+VolDown and in the blue screen VolUp
2. Open Odin
3. AP-field TWRP-image
4. Remove [I]auto reboot[/I] from options
5. Start
6. Remove battery when passed (or else the stock rom will reflash that recovery)

I installed Magisk:
1. Boot to recovery -->TWRP, Pow+Home+VolUp
2. Install button, search Magisk zip
3. Install
4. Reboot

Pretty easy and takes about 5 mins. This worked for my G903FXXU2BRH2 :)

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanmfirdaus:
Hi guys!

I have use this Zenfone 5 LTE variant (ASUS_T00P or A500KL variant) for about a year unrooted until recently the phone failed/bricked due to unknown reason.

The last stable version that I used before the phone failed was KitKat 4.4.2 (UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.94-user).

After a visit to Asus service center, they re-flashed my phone with Lollipop 5.0 (LRX21M.WW_Phone-12.4.5.58-20151013 044030443_201501281349).

When I tried to root the phone with the common Zenfone 5 Lollipop Rootkit available on the Internet, it failed due to some restriction in writing some flash part inside the phone.

Again, one more weird thing with this phone is when I tried the power button+volume up button, it won't bring me to fastboot mode.

Instead, the button combo will bring up a yellow text saying that my phone now is in CSC mode.

In recovery mode, I couldn't find the "apply update from adb" menu too.

Even in the .zip firmware file downloaded from Asus site, I couldn't find the fastboot.img and recovery.img

So, herein lies my questions.

1. What will happen to the failed root process? Will it corrupt my current Lollipop file system in near future?

2. Does anyone know what is CSC mode?

3. Can anyone confirm whether I can root this phone or not with the current setup? I really need to root this phone ASAP as I want to try to recover all my lost photos inside the internal storage with help from other software.

4. Can I still sideload from adb incase the phone brick again since I don't want to visit and pay Asus technician just to re-flash my firmware. I totally can do that myself provided they gave me the option in the 1st place.

p/s: anyhow, I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone due to above reason.

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyMageCZ:
As far as I know the very first version of Lollipop on this device, WW 12.4.5.22, is rootable. I had no luck with the latest versions of firmware, so you probably won´t be able to root your current one. If you get back to this version using the downgrade version on the Asus website, you can use Kingroot to root the device. After you install Kingroot, reboot the phone, otherwise it will not be able to root it for some reason. I bought this phone because my lumia 710 decided to give up on life and it´s mainboard died. I needed some not very expensive phone with pretty good specs and big enough RAM for a low amount of money and so far it´s been working flawlessly

let's now begin presenting what we have here:

- a basically stock theme with accents in 7 different colours

- 1 material wallpaper for everyone of the 7 flavours

- all these themes have been tested on a xiaomi mi2s [HD res] and on a OnePlus 2 [FHD res] and they all work 100%
