I have a SM-G570M and I can't seem to install the kernel via Odin (stuck at File Analysis). I tried formatting data as some people said before, and it mounted, but after doing that I got stuck in a bootloop. I got an external SD card now, and when I tried to flash SuperSU via TWRP, it was going fine until it tried to update partition or something like that, and got an error. Some people also shared a flashable version of the kernel, but all the links seem to be dead now. Could anybody either share a new link for the flashable kernel or give me a hand? Appreciate it

EDIT: I tried flashing SuperSU using CWM and it worked. I guess it was more compatible with my model. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi, thank you for making this. I wanted to make sure first if my device is supported. It's the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime SM-G570Y/DS

I've read some replies on this thread, and their SM-G570Y devices seemed to have successfully gone through the TWRP and rooting process.

Will it work on the SM-G570Y/DS ? I think the "DS" stands for Dual SIM / DUOS, in the Philippine market. Also it is carrier locked to the carrier Globe, so I'm wondering if that will complicate the flashing process, because I've only rooted/tinkered with the "global" / carrier unlocked phones before.

Thanks for reading. :D

[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] AceT2213:
Hey guys, I have the M variant (J5 Prime G570M).

I flashed recovery via Odin. TWRP booted up but I couldn't access SuperSu.zip that was in internal storage. ADB also didn't work because Windows keeps telling me that the USB device is unrecognized.

Flashed kernel via Odin. Doesn't seem to have done anything.

Formatted Data. I was finally able to mount Data, but obviously SuperSu.zip was no longer there.

ADB sideload still doesn't work.

The phone also no longer shows up in Windows for me to simply copy the file over. Not in recovery or even in download mode.

I haven't booted up normally yet because I'm scared of tripping Knox. But if I can't think of anything else, I'll boot up, download the file, reboot to recovery, flash, reboot and hopefully that will untrip Knox.

Any suggestions? All I can think of is using a microSD card or a OTG cable but I don't currently have access to either.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] xX_Kale_Xx:
Are you running nougat or marshmallow?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] AceT2213:
Marshmallow. Never got the OTA, which could be because I rooted only to remove Samsung junk.

I ended up booting normally and Knox wasn't tripped because my phone no longer has Knox. Even factory resetting does not restore Knox. I've tried that to get OTAs to no avail.

I also tried flashing custom ROMs in recovery but fortunately I took a backup beforehand because the phone wouldn't boot with either one. Could that be related to the fact that I don't recall ever unlocking my bootloader? I just figured that having root and especially twrp meant that I must have unlocked it somehow.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Happened to me too
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CharlieSummers:
Ok, have read through entire thread (and am praying to the forum gods that some users will someday learn how to say think you without quoting the entire OP!). I want to verify this is indeed the problem I am having.

Trying to root SM-G570M stock, but with Android Version 7.0. When I use ODIN (after setting developer options correctly) I get:

<ID:0/026> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..
<ID:0/026> File analysis..
<ID:0/026> Total Binary size: 21 M

<ID:0/026> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/026>
<ID:0/026> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I assume the problem is Android OS 7.0? And is there any known way of rooting this phone? (Would like to avoid Kingroot and the other Chinese variants if possible, but I need to get this rooted. Hate Google...every time they release an Android version they take more away!)

Edit: Found a video on YouTube from Zone GSM which claimed to have this beat; after struggling with all the d*mned add-n-fly crap, I pulled their recovery tar file, and it appeared to be the same one...I got the same error with it, anyway.

Edit2: Ok, getting there. Found a version of TWRP at https://www.firmwares.androidinfote...rime-sm-g570m-nougat-7-0-unofficial-twrp-tar/ that I can sucessfully load into the phone. I am however having a little trouble with the timing on holding VolDown-Home-Power to reboot it but then quickly get to VolUp-Home-Power before the stock recovery gets reloaded. Stock keeps trying to load an upgrade, fails, then with Home key eventually drops to menu.

Edit3: Thought maybe I could just give up and use [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's CF-Auto-Root. It created the right one for my phone and firmware version, but when attempting to use it, recovery.img went in swimmingly then cache.img FAIL!ed; the phone, in red-on-black letters, is yelling, "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY)" So there's that.

Edit4: Wait...you can't use ADB to reboot-bootloader with this phone???
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CharlieSummers:
Ignore, can't figure how to delete.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] awab228:
There is official TWRP for this phone , and of course you can use it to root the phone with magisk.zip or supersu.zip
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRIME ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CharlieSummers:
You didn't read my longer post; I can't flash any of the recovery images I've been able to find. If you can point me to another, I will cheerfully try it - so far, I tried four different downloads of the recovery.img. But no, I can't use TWRP to flash SuperSU.zip if I can't get it to replace the stock recovery. Everything I've tried, including flashing [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's CF-AUTO-ROOT gives me the "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY)" error on the phone and "FAIL" in ODIN. (I'd shoot a video of it, but the letters in the Download Mode screen are really REALLY tiny. I've enclosed a cropped photo.)

Needed to catch up on other work today, hope to get back to this tomorrow or Monday. If I can at least eliminate some of the causes, maybe I can zero in on why this phone is acting SO much differently than those on YouTube videos which make replacing the recovery on Nougat seem so d*mned simple...
