I'm about to root my Galaxy S5, but I'm unsure whether to use Magisk or CF-Auto-Root.
Magisk seems a lot easier but seems to have instability issues that stem from it being systemless (losing root privileges if daemon crashes).
CF-Auto-Root seems like a more permanent solution but also one that's easier to fuck up. It also doesn't have Magisk Hide, though I personally don't use many SafetyNet applications at the moment.
Correct me if I'm wrong on any of the above as I'm still learning as I go along, and feel free to suggest which one I should go for, or any alternatives you might have in mind.

I went CF since that's always what I did on all my Samsungs. Just look what build number you are running and download the matching .zip to flash

>Which Root is Best I only use ADB to root, so I don't understand this question.
Sebastian Reed
They're working on it actually
Jaxon Ramirez
Do you need any external programs or can you get root access exclusively through ADB?
Justin Cooper
So this is how it ends - not with a bang, but with a whimper...
Aiden Johnson
I hope both of you are joking

I don't know I just install android studio, and read what xda tells me to do.

this or Magisk
If you want additional features without modifying /system, Magisk all the way.

Supersu is retard ass "im a fucking faggot" tier software (one of the few actual botnets out there)

I used supersu, but switched to magisk because of suhide actually working there >put phone on cable >boot into fastboot >oem_lock disable (or something like that, I don't do it too often) >flash twrp >boot into twrp >go into sideload mode >adb sideload los.zip >adb sideload magisk.zip >reboot Why exactly would people need tools for that?

Magisk doesn't work with lineage os. Most of modules definitely don't.
