Hello everyone I am new here. I have a problem which requires some help.
My parents accidentally did a factory reset and lost all her contacts and phonebook, so I am trying to recover it. I tried to use Tenorshare android recovery but found out it won't work without root so I have a few questions regarding that.
I found a guide on how to root here without the knox counter going up and voiding the warranty.
http://androidxda.net/how-to-root-g...android-5-0-1-lollipop-without-tripping-knox/
and these are my details and also I am on 5.01
AP: I9505XXUH0B8
CP: I9505XXUH0B8
CSC: I9505VFRHOC1
Firstly regarding the bootloader can I use this bootloader
I9505XXUHOB7 bootloader
md5:1e02a99ed0a26a9acf5b12bdb1778c18
Since my CP and AP is I9505XXUH0B8 and the bootloader is I9505XXUHOB7, the last digit is one less and does not match so I would like to confirm if it will work.
Secondly in step 2 it says to copy the firmware and supersu to the root then do a factory reset, wont the factory reset clear the internal SDCARD?
My final question is since the storage is similar to a PC in that if something gets deleted and as long as that part of the sector is not overwritten, there is a high chance of recovery I am trying to limit over writing the storage as much as possible.
So I would like to ask can I skip parts of the guide
http://androidxda.net/how-to-root-g...android-5-0-1-lollipop-without-tripping-knox/
For example skipping steps 1 to 9 as I am already on 5.01 offical firmware and all those steps seem to do is reinstall 5.01 or is the enable everRoot setting essential to rooting the device.
I mean if I have to put 2.6 + gigs of data on the device then there is a high chance that the data will be overwritten.
Oh one more thing I would like to ask is can I root using an external SDCARD.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this thread and for any assistance you can provide.
Kind Regards
