[TWRP][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy on5 [MetroPCS/T-Mobile]

[...:::::NP™:::::...]

Step 1 – Download the USB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy On5 for your PC

In order for your PC to recognize the Samsung Galaxy On5 as part of the rooting process you first must download and install the USB drivers on to your PC.

You can download the USB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy On5 from here.

Once you have downloaded them run the main program file to make sure the drivers are installed.

Step 2 – Download the Odin rooting program

In order to root the Samsung Galaxy On5 using the root file given in the next step you must first download Odin which is what will be used to install the root file onto the Samsung Galaxy On5 and perform the rooting process.

You can download Odin from here.

Once downloaded extract the file to a convenient location such as the desktop.

Step 3 – Download the Samsung Galaxy On5 root package

Now that we have installed the Samsung Galaxy On5 USB drivers and downloaded Odin we now need to download the root package to be used for the rooting process.

You can download the Samsung Galaxy On5 root package from here.

Make sure you save it in an easy to find location such as the desktop and extract it to its own folder.

This gives you a .TAR file.

Step 4 – Enable USB debugging on the Samsung Galaxy On5

In order for your PC to recognize the Samsung Galaxy On5 when you plug it in to perform rooting you must first enable USB debugging on the device itself.  This is done by doing the following.

    Tap the Settings option.

    Tap the About Device option.

    Keep tapping the Build Number option (seven times) until it says you are a developer.

    Tap the new Developer Options menu that appears.

    Make sure that the USB Debugging option is checked.

Step 5 – Root the Samsung Galaxy On5

Now that we have all we need it is time to root the Samsung Galaxy On5.  Before we can do that you must first put the Samsung Galaxy On5 into Download mode which can be done using the following steps.

    Make sure the Samsung Galaxy On5 is powered off completely.

    Hold down the Volume down key and the Home key and the power button and keep all three buttons pressed until the Samsung Galaxy On5 powers up.

    Providing you have done it correctly it should boot into Download mode and you press the Volume up key to start Download mode.

    Connect the Samsung Galaxy On5 now to your PC.

    Run the Odin software you downloaded in step 2.

    Inside Odin click the AP/PDA option and browse on your computer to the .tar root file you extracted in step 3.

    Inside Odin click Start to begin the root process.

The process will take a few moments after which the Samsung Galaxy On5 will restart itself and complete the rooting process – Do not remove the Samsung Galaxy On5 from your PC during this time.

Once the Samsung Galaxy On5 starts up properly copy you must then reboot into recovery mode.

Make sure the device is turned off completely.

Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until the device turns on and boots into recovery mode.

Now, with the device in recovery mode it will be the custom TWRP recovery you just installed.

The recovery will display a message asking if you want to root the device.

Slide to install SuperSU and root the device.

Once done return to the main menu and then reboot the device.

Once the device has rebooted normally you should see the SuperSU notification on the device.

Tap it to complete installing SuperSU and the device should be rooted.

Which Android version have already in your set?

[Longan]

00 If you have already experimented or pranked with your device and screwed something up, you need to reflash the stock firmware via Odin (read through these educational points whether you need them already or not!!!):

00.A Create a new folder on your Windows desktop and name it "SM-S550TL". This is where you will put all the files you download and use with this device.

00.B Download Odin3 v. v3.12.3 here. Unzip the folder inside into your SM-S550TL folder.

00.C Download the firmware here and unzip ALL_TFN_S550TLUDU1APG1_S550TLTFN1APG1_CL8482018_QB 10267860_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 into your SM-S550TL folder.

00.D Run Odin AS ADMINISTRATOR (right-click > Run As Administrator).

00.E Start your SM-S550TL in Download Mode by simultaneously holding Volume-Down, Home, and Power buttons. When you get to the next screen, press Volume-Up. Now that you're in DL mode, plug your SM-S550TL into a USB port on the computer.

00.F When you see the device is connected (under ID:COM there will be a block that turns baby blue and say 0:[COMx] inside), press the AP button and navigate to your ALL_TFN_S550TLUDU1APG1_S550TLTFN1APG1_CL8482018_QB 10267860_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5.

00.G Wait for the package to verify. When it's done, it will say "Leave CS" in the log. Press start. Wait for Odin to say "PASS!" The device will reboot. Exit Odin.

00.H Go through the device setup procedure: When signing into your Google account, do it slowly, waiting after each step. A pop-up will appear asking if you want Google to check for security threats, I strongly suggest you press Decline. (If you miss the pop-up during setup, you can turn this setting off in Settings>Google>Security>Scan device for security settings.) Skip setting up a Samsung account (unless you want loads of bloatware). Do not set up anything related to Knox, it will give you trouble later.

00.I Go into your device settings. Here take the following steps: Under Display, set the screen timeout to 10 minutes. Under Lockscreen and Security, enable Unknown Sources, then scroll down and go into Other Security Settings. Click Device Administrators, and disable (i.e. deactivate) Android Device Manager. Go back to your main Settings and scroll down to About Device, here find Build Number and tap it repeatedly until it says you have enabled Developer Options. Go back to the main Settings menu and under Developer Options, enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging.

01 Download the the boot.tar file provided here, and save it in your SM-S550TL folder. Using Odin as per the procedure above, click AP and flash the boot.tar file. This will set your SElinux mode to permissive.

02 Download and install the Debloater Tool for Android by @gatesjunior from here on your Windows PC. Before doing anything, watch the video on that page. Run the program and I recommend you disable all the following before proceeding with the root procedure below:
ContainerAgent2.apk (com.sec.knox.containeragent2)
KLMSAgent.apk (com.samsung.klmsagent)
KnoxAppsUpdateAgent.apk (com.samsung.knox.appsupdateagent)
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation)
KnoxBBCProvider.apk (com.samsung.android.bbc.fileprovider)
Kno*****tooth.apk (com.sec.knox.bluetooth)
KnoxFolderContainer.apk (com.sec.knox.foldercontainer)
KnoxKeyguard.apk (com.samsung.knox.kss)
KnoxSetupWizardClient.apk (com.sec.knox.knoxsetupwizardclient)
KnoxShortcuts.apk (com.sec.knox.shortcutsms)
KnoxSwitcher.apk (com.sec.knox.switcher)
KnoxTrustAgent.apk (com.Samsung.knox.knoxtrustagent)
MyKNOXSetupWizard.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.myknoxsetupwizard)
RCPComponents.apk (com.samsung.knox.rep.components)
SecurityLogAgent.apk (com.samsung.android.securitylogagent)
SharedDeviceKeyguard.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.shareddevice.keyguard)
UniversalMDMClient.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms)

03 Download the latest KingRoot apk from here to your SM-S550TL device. Install it. Make sure your device is either plugged in or has a 50% or higher charge. Make sure you are connected to the internet through WiFi or mobile data. Run KingRoot and follow the instructions to do the root procedure. Be patient. If the device freezes, DON'T PANIC! Simply pull the battery and start KingRoot again. It may take several tries, but you'll eventually conquer it.

04 Once KingRoot says it has achieved root, go to Google Play and install Root Check by @jrummy16 here. Run it, grant supersu permission, and it should say the device is rooted and the superuser is KingRoot.

05 Cool, so far so good. Now go back to Google Play and install Super-Sume Pro by @gatesjunior from here. Run it, read carefully and follow the instructions. Once complete you will have installed SuperSu by Chainfire and uninstalled KingRoot (thanks, KingRoot, it's been good to know ya!).

06 Run Root Check by JRummy again. Now it should confirm that you have root via SuperSu. It might ask if you want to install BusyBox. It's up to you, JRummy is a reliable developer. But I recommend you go to optional step 07 below.

07 Optional: Go back to Google Play and install BusyBox by @Stericson (free or pro) and install the latest BusyBox.

08 If you follow these instructions perfectly, you'll be in business.

And unlock by octopus ( I ready unlock 5 phones )
