    Hi

    Nice tutorial on how to root Galaxy J5,but could you please remove the download link and instead redirect to my thread over xda. There’s a lot of information regarding flashing and issues over there and also i keep updating with new releases. We developers work hard and want users to checkout our work which makes us feel good. 🙂

    Thanks.
