Hi and thanks a lot for your work and support!
Just for all other guys who, just like me, had a lot of problems in flashing recovery:

I have tried several times to flash TWRP (in 5.0.2 and now in 5.1.1) and I always had FAIL in ODIN, even managed to brick my phone in the process. Twice. The solution came by reading the OP and deactivating the blocking option at https://findmymobile.samsung.com/account/init.do (Screen Unblock - left down, then Disable blocking or similar). Now I managed to install TWRP, then SU and Kernel, as described.



Thanks!

Yes, indeed. Now I got a warning from Knox saying that unauthorised actions have taken place on my device.

Flashed the new TWRP 2.8.7.1 and all is well and working fine with my G925F.

Flashed root and the kernel and Android 5.1.1 is running great.

Thanks for your help Alex-V.

OTG works finally but it is still 5 times faster to save backups to the internal storage. OTG is handy when saving internal storage.

while the cf autoroot thread and also the older recovery thread gets some questions that don't have anything to do with the thread I make this thread



OK...here it is: only for people with 5.1.1 G925F (should work with 5.0.2 F also) the G925I seems also fine

be sure to copy my kernel zip and also the super su zip to sdcard (phone) before you flash the recovery via odin, otherwise you got bootloop (because of system write protection-new with 5.1.1)


Kernel (flash with twrp) : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765201

Super SU (flash with twrp) : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765203

and TWRP 2.8.7.1 (flash with ODIN) : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765202

after all that you get the normal system warning (the old one also on 5.0.2) delete Securitylogagent and reboot

thx alot

Thank you Alex-V for this nice method. Succesfully rooted my stock 5.1.1 version. Can I simply flash a custom rom now that TWRP is working again?
I want to flash Echoe rom V4 (5.1.1 based on BOFJ), but I have the newest BL. If I factory reset my phone using TWRP and I flash a custom rom based on 5.1.1. Will my phone boot or will this end in a bootloop?The the rom comes with it own custom Kernel (AEL 5.1.1).

With this exact set up on 5.1.1 my phone will not load SHealth, any ideas as to how to fix this?
