Ok, i bought this phone recently and i just realized that is a new smartphone from Samsung..i searched everywhere but seems that there is no TWRP or ROOT for this model SM-J701MZDNZTO... will there ever be one?There is a bunch of good apps that doesnt work without root that i miss from my previous smartphone.....
Thanks
I tried to install the J701F TWRP for a while it work but was unstable...ended up having to reflesh to original stock rom... it sucks having a android phone that doesnt have root ...
Same problem u.u
Any prediction to access the root of the galaxy j7 neo?
Im waiting for it too!
Did you find any solution? To root j701m
anyone found anything?
Something to try?
Don't know guys, for sure this device doesn't have a custom ROM ...Yet! I hope but if you have an unlocked bootloader(and if you don't, as I did, there's still hope) it can still be rooted, I used this method here to root:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/root-twrp-galaxy-j7-neo-sm-j701m/
I used it on my device (SM-J701M) and it worked, the TWRP version is unofficial (It's supposed to be compatible with J7 core, J7 neo & J7 nxt models) and a bit buggy but it's better than nothing, and you'll get root, so if it helps kudos to you all.
A word of caution: make a backup, it's pretty easy with SmartSwitch
For those who may have a locked bootloader after the Oreo update as I did, you can reinstall/flash your firmware from SamMobile (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-j7-neo/firmware/#SM-J701M), using Odin, in most cases, the security patch is not upgraded yet and the firmware version still has the option to unlock bootloader in Developer Options.
You will have to create an account, and you must be specific with your device's carrier, take a note of your baseband version as that will give you an idea of the firmware you will download. I've also successfully upgraded to Pie. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Root for the J7 Prime in stores in march 2018! We only need one more file to get our device rooted according to the thread below! Someone let me know if they get it rooted using sampwn32 please! I will be buying a new device If this can't be done. Administrator I like using the command prompt.
Root for the galaxy j7 prime j727t is within reach!
I got the eng boot file to read custom firmware without tripping Knox.
Flashed root file using Samsung tool as well. Now we have a root method for the j3 prime j327t (this phone's twin in my opinion). See link at the bottom. Perhaps I could get the platform tarball compiled and flashed from Samsung open-source for once i would prefer having root before attempting.
Different processors. We need the eng system image of our device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2017/how-to/root-sampwned32-samsung-j3-prime-sm-t3761497
We were told this wasn't possible, now what's necessary to get this rolling? Let's make some use out of this stubborn. Honestly requesting the system eng image which looks like is about all we need to start customizing. I'm gonna call customer service and straight up ask for it if no one replies.
Eng sboot
Eng boot
Root file (which can also be successfully flashed with Samsung tool)
Seriously looking for any updates for my T-mobile J727t
Looking at an Octoplus hardware unlocker device, if no updates are posted

Yes. It's just not officially released yet. I've been scouring the web for a leak. This means Oreo has been built for our device already and the official release coming. If you're curious about WiFi Alliance, wikipedia has good information about them.

I managed to find the firmware, however, it's behind a pay wall on servers in Iran. The firmware name is J727PVPU4BRH5 if you want to help look for it. As soon as find it on a free server, I'll post an update.

I'm already running Oreo. TWRP has problems with it. I can't make a backup of the OS. You can restore a back up, but you have to flash the BL file from ARG2 then wipe everything in TWRP first. SuperSU 2.82-SR5 will cause a boot loop. I'm going to try magisk 17.1. Honestly, I'm very disappointed with Samsung's Oreo... It's almost the exact same as Nougat, and the new camera sucks, very bad. They gave us Nougat, with Oreo 8.1 as the base firmware. That's my literal take on it. I'm definitely getting a Moto G6 after seeing this, and I'm going back to my stock build.

I have, and flashing back to nougat works fine. You have to flash ARG2 for it to work, and you can't downgrade the Modem. I'll put together instructions and probably a debloated ROM later this evening, and I'll get the firmware uploaded ASAP. Some notes, clearing the camera data fixes the blurry image problem, and it can be rooted. You need the latest TWRP, and Magisk 17.1 stable. You must flash TWRP, swipe to allow modifications, then format data with the option that makes you type "yes", then flash magisk. Root works perfectly. No issues. I'm debloating the OS right now. I'm about to test Viper too. Its actually much faster than Nougat once the junk is out and yes, it can be fully deknoxed. This might not be so bad. I'm still disappointed with their lack of Oreo-esq cosmetics though.

I've got 3 of 4 firmware files uploaded. The AP file is giving me trouble cause my WiFi sucks, and it keeps failing before it finishes. I did put together a full stock Oreo ROM but its got problems. You can only flash it using TWRP if you have the ARG2 bootloader, but, the ARG2 bootloader, won't allow Oreo to boot up no matter what. We'd need a custom boot.img and I can't make one. The ROM can't be flashed with the Oreo bootloader installed either, because it prevents TWRP from copying/writing to the data or system partitions. If it tries to, it'll reboot half way through. Magisk 17.1 will also lose root after awhile. We need a custom boot, or we need a modified root method and an updated TWRP to have any fun with it. SMH at Samsung right now. They gave us Oreo, with no milk, and a slap in the face. Nougat everything, running on Oreo 8.1 firmware... I'll never get over that. I'm running an ARG2 build cause everything works, and largely looks the same. I swear, they didn't even try. They just reskinned some Nougat apps and put them in an Oreo system. I will never buy another Samsung product after seeing this half hearted Oreo they gave us.

Dear Sirs;
Having had to replace my originally bought (Nov 17, 2017) J7 Perx from Boost, then bricking it and replacing it with a Galaxy S6 refurb from Boost, which was then STOLEN by a "friend" of 6(six) years, has been replaced by a NEWER J7 Perx. This device received at lest 3, if not 4 OTA updates, one of which was a supplemental firmware/software update. About Phone (and Samsung INFO app) NOW reveal the following detail:
HARDWARE VERSION; J727P.02
Mfg date; 03/15/2018
Software Version; J727PVPU4BRH5
Android Version; 8.1.0
Samsung Experience; 9.5
Baseband Version; J7272PVPU4BRH5
Build Number; M1AJQ.J727PVPU4BRH5
Android Security Patch; August 1, 2018.
If given instruction and link to necessary utility to extract the firmware from my device to my PC, I would be more than pleased to provide the files(s) procured from that process.
I look forward to hearing more about possible deodexed firmware to ROOT my newest device.
A custom ROM would be nice, too.

Guess I should have browsed a few more posts before posting.
I found the link to all the 8.x firmwares for the various models, and must say "Bravo!" for the Herculean effort expended to collect, upload and make all that available.
Thanks!
The bootloader is unlocked and I have booted into a couple of versions of twrp but they're all really unstable and they end up causing my phone to boot loop when I try to flash something/reboot. Has anyone else had any luck with this phone?

Use the U4 one
What I did is changing the indian stock firmware (3.1 Gb) to the Moroccan firmware (2.7 Gb) without root. Through Odin.
Apart from the Netflix app ( can be disabled) I didn't find any other bloatwares
I used adb's pm uninstall -k method to remove some built in mini system applications like Facebook manager, print services etc
Results = fully debloated without root access and without losing warranty or updates.

Thanks mate, i had problems trying to root, so after changing Csc , I decided that i will wait until they release the Android 10 on June 2020 (Samsung said that in the Samsung members App) I can't wait to experience OneUi 2 on this phone, then I will root inevitably ?
I'm so interested in lineage os too, I've used it before with good results, but unfortunately the A20 is not supported yet.
Have a great day
