There is often a few ways one can get root access on a Samsung smartphone, but sometimes all of the ways take some time to become available. If you wanted to root the Samsung Galaxy On5 with the SM-G550T model number, then you have no choice but to install a custom recovery image first and then flash the version of the SuperSU that is found in this guide.

There are many versions of SuperSU—from stable builds to new beta versions and everything in between. The things “ín between” can often be more complicated also such as the way the SuperSU manages to install itself onto your device and the way it has been developed. The version of SupeSU for the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow updates is a systemless root, and that is different from the version of SuperSU that we used to root older versions of Android like KitKat. It was said that the systemless root version was going to continue into Android 7.0, but recent news suggests otherwise.
