How to root Samsung SM-A300Y 5.0.2 (Galaxy A3)?

Hi,

Hi,

Previously to root phones I have used Vroot or Kingoroot.

However I have a Telstra Samsung A3 which fails to root using these two programs.

I have Googled but can't can only find instructions for rooting this phone for software version 4.4.4

Can anyone offer me some advice please?
