You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.

NOTE: ON ANDROID 5.1.1> DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:

Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking

AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.

*****INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:*****

Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.

1. Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.

(Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP)

2. Load the file below into the AP slot and hit start.

twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-a605_141218

3. After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately force reboot to recovery. Do NOT let the device boot to the OS.

You should now see TWRP recovery.

4. Flash the RMM bypass zip

NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE IMPLICITLY WILL RESULT IN STOCK RECOVERY REPLACING TWRP AT FIRST BOOT.

5. Reboot to TWRP (Do not boot to the OS yet)

6. Move on to root instructions below. This is a requirement to get the device to boot.

*****OREO ROOT INSTRUCTIONS:*****

1. Flash the Forced encryption disabler patch. This is only required if you wish to have full functionality in TWRP.

Flashing this will disable Samsung's forced encryption. Disabling encryption will allow TWRP to mount the data partition.

After flashing the patch it is necessary to *FORMAT* (not wipe) the /DATA partition using the FORMAT DATA button under the wipe options.

PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON INTERNAL STORAGE AND FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE, SO BACK UP ANYTHING YOU WISH TO KEEP.

2. To root I suggest installing Magisk as this is a currently supported project, SuperSu is no longer getting active development.
