The Samsung Galaxy A5 smartphone is good enough for you to enjoy without doing anything to it, but if it is developing you want, then you need to root it regardless. You do not have to be an actual developer to enjoy doing any type of developing work on the Android operating system. Thanks to the way these mobile operating systems work, everything is done with apps. Most of the root apps that can do developing on your device are already developed themselves to make your developments easy to do. All it involved most of the time is clicking some buttons.

Mobile operating systems like Android are set up a little bit differently than the desktop operating systems you have known for much longer. You do not notice much of a difference—or what you are missing out on very often—on a mobile operating system because there is enough happening to keep you from realizing unless you knew better.

The Google Play Store has well over a million apps that many people find useful, and that will run on any given device with an Android operating system. However, there are also a few thousand additional apps that will not run unless they are granted access to the lower levels of the operating system that they need access to before they can run.

These apps I am referring to are called the root apps, and they can help you do lots of developing. One of the root apps that many people enjoy trying is the Xposed Installer. Those who enjoy developing but without custom ROMs often turn to Xposed to help get the developing done. You can try Xposed as soon as you finish the guide below for rooting the Samsung Galaxy A5 smartphone.

• Chainfire shows you that he had the MMB29K.A510SKSU1BPG2 firmware build number running on his Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 SM-A510S smartphone when he developed the rooting tool found in this guide. However, he does not let you that because you need to be running on the same. It is just used as an indicator only.
• Unlock the Developer Options menu on the Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 SM-A510S smartphone so you can then turn on the USB Debugging Mode.
• Install the Samsung USB Drivers on the Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 SM-A510S smartphone so the Odin flashing tool on the computer can understand the device you are trying to connect.
