This rooting is seemless as compared to previous rooting of other devices which needed lots of files to be downloaded and many steps and what not. So relax. Rooting this device is a piece of cake.

[alert size=”alert-block” variation=”alert-error”]Proceed at your own risk. Rooting a device can potentially brick it and make it unusable. Also rooting will void the warranty of the device. If any untoward event happens, thevortexcode.com or any of its members will not be held responsible. Proceeding forwards acknowledges that you agree with this.[/alert]

[alert]Make sure to exactly follow the steps mentioned to successfully root your device. Also do check out the video showing the complete tutorial.[/alert]

Before getting started:

  • It is very important to backup your personal data of the device using appropriate tools. If anything untoward happens during the rooting process, the data may get lost and you can use the backed up data to restore it.
  • Make sure that your device has a minimum of 50% charge left in the battery before proceeding forward with the rooting process.
  • Deactivate or uninstall antivirus applications on the device.

2) If the above downloaded file didn’t contain Odin then download it from Odin.

3) You will need to download USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy E5 as it is needed for rooting the device. There are two ways of installing drivers for the device. One is Samsung Kies and other is the installation file of only Drivers. If you don’t want to install the full fledged software of Samsung Kies you can opt for installing only drivers. After downloading the file, install it on your pc. The link for downloading the drivers is here. Download here the Samsung Galaxy E5 USB drivers.

4) Enable USB Debugging mode in your Samsung smartphone. Go to Settings > About Device > Tap on Build Number many times. This will activate the Developer Mode on the device. Then go to Settings > Developer Options > Check USB Debugging
