  2. Make sure you get the correct file. Using the incorrect file may brick your device.
  3. If your target device has a custom firmware flash counter, CF-Auto-Root will trigger it. If you’re lucky, Triangle Away has support for your device and can be used to reset the counter.
  4. If you have a KNOX-enabled device, using CF-Auto-Root will trip the KNOX WARRANTY VOID status !
  5. If your device storage is encrypted, using CF-Auto-Root will wipe your data !
  6. If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device – with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically “OEM unlock” and wipe your data !

  1. It didn’t root his device. We got stuck at the boot logo just as Alonso did, and we performed a hard reset. We also have the SM-T817T on 6.0.1

    Since we couldn’t get into the factor recovery for the device we got into download mode and flashed TWRP on it with ODIN and performed a factory reset there. After that we were able to make it past the logo, however no root.
