Hi:

Using a correct CF-Auto-Root image and Odin3 I have not been able to root my phone. The image loads but I never see "superSU" and RootCheck states "is not rooted". Any ideas? I am new to this process and need my phone to have root access.

Thanks! Tom

Success at last!!!
Follow this link to a webpage that can download a .tar.md5 file that actually sets the phone ROOTed and loads the SU app: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939823811. ROOT status was verified with a RootChecker app. The file you are looking for is in: CF-Auto-Root-gprimelteusc-gprimelteusc-smg530r4.zip

I am open to questions.... I do not know if it mattered but I did a full factory wipe/reset and made sure the USB debug was on and the system allows OEM changes, and no google account for FRP.
