Wondering if anyone in the know has heard of any development going on for this device? I recently bought one and it's not a bad phone for the price, but I've seen absolutely -nothing- on it anywhere online for the most part. It's barely root-able with what I've been able to find, and no custom recovery or really anything custom has popped up that I've seen.
Not sure if it's just that it's been only a few months since the phone came out, or if it's just not that great a phone. I upgraded from an HTC Desire 510 to this, and it was heavily customized/rooted/etc, and I want so badly to get back to where I was with it on this phone I cant stand it!
I also want to root my Galaxy J3! I just want to root it so I can use AdAway and Titanium Backup.

Right now rooting isn't the problem so much as keeping root. Because apparently the colonel has protection and will remove root whenever you reboot. That means things that require root on boot like backups, Xposed and a lot of other things won't work for us until someone complies a kernel with root protection removed. You can do some debloating and possibly the AdAway but that's about it right now.
*kernel. Damn voice to text.
That sucks. I upgraded from an LG Volt and I was able to do a whole bunch of stuff on it. The J3 is still very new, so hopefully development will happen soon.
I just got this phone if there is anything i can do to help move this along let me know. I have the virgin mobile one.

I guess that would depend on what you have experience with and what you can do. Thus-far root has been able to be achieved with Kingroot, though it wont stick through a power cycle (reboot/power off/etc), and using any of the methods available (at least that I'm aware of, only found two legitimate ones) to replace Kingroot with SuperSU (to facilitate having root stick past the reboot hopefully) causes a soft-brick every time forcing a re-flash of stock firmware through Odin.
At the very least make your voice heard, if nothing else hopefully more popularity will come this devices way and we'll see some development for it. My roommate is considering writing something for it, but it is a long process working solo, so anyone who has experience working with kernels or editing stock rom/writing custom roms feels up to helping out, shoot me a message and I'll get it over to him. He's a fairly experienced programmer and picks up what he doesn't already know pretty quickly.
Got one recently too. Would also appreciate any more information on rooting.
I have a J320A (AT&T) came stock with 6.0.1, can help test if needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-teamwin-recovery-project-3-0-2-t3356616
I know this is an old thread, just making my rounds looking for anything on the J3 myself (SM-J320P Boost, Virgin, etc...) and have found TWRP & permanent root with Chainfire's SuperSU (system-less though). Everything is great except a lag issue with supersu. There is an exposed by wanum that works as well. Only app that has root issue so far is ES File Explorer. If anyone is still looking hope this helps.

Anything yet for J320A/Z models? (AT&T/cricket)
This version of TWRP won't work will it? Totally different phone?
EDIT: just realized the guy above has the same question... something tells me we won't see root on the ATT/cricket variants for a while.

Try official TWRP of galaxy J2. Your variant shares the same specs as J2. Others also did this to galaxy On5, it works 100%.
what about the
SM-J320VPP = the verizon pre paid planversion. any working roots for me yet?
oh pretty pleeeeeez

So can you confirm this method works? Does OEM unlock setting in dev options unlock the bootloader on AT&T variant? If so couldn't I temp root and flash TWRP via Flashify?

It doesn't work tried it 3 times. I even tried other ones no luck. They locked this thing down. Im surprise chainfire haven't tried this phone yet.
Hi, guys! I understand it was an old thread, but I was referred here from Reddit. I have a Galaxy J3 (SM-J3109) purchased in Mainland China (Service provider is China Telecom). I rooted it with Kingo Root. Kingo Root stated that it successfully rooted the device, but the phone OS had given me warnings about unauthorized access to the device or something.
One week later (I did *not* reflash the phone nor install any applications after I rooted the phone) I found the phone stuck in an annoying bootloop. The device status is still "official" and the Knox counter is still set at 0x0.
Now that it's bootlooping I'd like to know if it's possible to take the applications and files off the phone before I factory reset it. It's not looking hopeful as I read similar threads from 2012 saying that once other Android devices bootloop, getting stuff off of them is impossible. I tried using ADB to take data off the phone (while Odin3 was detecting it being connected to the PC) but ADB doesn't detect the phone. Should I try a different cable?

Best advice would be to try flashing the stock firmware with odin. That shouldn't delete any of your data and will usually fix a bootloop. You can Google your phones stock firmware and see if you can download it.

Thank you so much! I tried using Odin to flash a software update and it worked perfectly. The phone is back up and running and all of the files are still there!
Right now i have TWRP 3.0.2 with supersu and i havent lost root yet also had no problem switching between backups, xposed working fine and also overclock too with setcpu, im currently running 5.1.1 using j320FN but TWRP was from j320F, i will put up links to the files if any of you are willing to try its up to you.
TWRP flash through odin : http://www.mediafire.com/download/blk7qa90vs6wik3/TWRP_3.0.2-0_SM-J320F.tar.tar
Supersu flash through recovery then update through playstore then install busybox after through playstore : http://www.mediafire.com/download/cpv2c71cp11x41f/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
Remember to turn on usb debugging and turn on oem unlock before flashing recovery, also if you manage to get recovery press they grey box on the right to change language to english. Hope this might help somebody on here because we really need full root for everyone.
Hi,
i need to get this phone rooted please, no root apps works, @Chainfire maybe can help?

Here we go. This is for S320VLUDU2API3 firmware, but probably works on any revision 2 firmware.
KNOX should remain 0x0
Instructions
1. Enable OEM UNLOCK
In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.
2. Flash the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
(See below for how to recover)
ENG_BOOT_S320VL_API3
3. Install boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the ENG_BOOT_S320VL_API3.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Reboot
Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.
4. Install and run Kingroot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Make sure you have an internet connection.
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA
6. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Recovering from a soft brick:
Flash the stock firmware provided below wirh ODIN
https://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sm-s320vl
Good luck I hope it works for you.

Unfortunately you can't install custom recovery on this device. This device has a locked bootloader.

Does it reboot itself as soon as SuperSU me installs supersu? That's probably the reason for root not sticking.
You could try the script below, I have confirmation it still works for the same procedure.
Steps 3 to 12.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484
Obviously use updated apps and don't flash the boot partition.
You will also need to flash the system version of SuperSU not EverRoot.
When you get to step 12, don't flash the firmware.
Disable EverRoot and just flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
That should give you permanent root.
Sorry, but I don't use any of those apps you posted.

It's not related to the bootloader, the bootloader is still locked, it's simply an incomplete installation of SuperSU. Probably due to permissions.
Follow the guide posted above and you should be good. I'd also suggest using root package disabler to disable knox.
Hit search in the app and type knox. Disable all knox related files.

So can anybody confirm where we're up to with this. Has root been achieved? Are we good to post this as a viable root solution?

Hi,
still not rooting perm -- Followed the exact tutorial you have gave us , me and my friend and we both lost root.
stock > odin > kingroot apk > supersu me > flashfire > supersu-sytemmode.2.79 rebooted lost root.
the only way we can do this is not to ever reboot....to keep root

So even when flashing root with Flashfire still losing root? Did you try using the script posted above?
Also could you post a screenshot of Root validator after losing root?
I would also suggest flashing the stock firmware with FLASHFIRE.
Ensure to Uncheck the boot partition and disable EverRoot.
Add the system supersu zip to the install.
It may be remnants of Kingroot causing the issue. Flashing this way will ensure a clean system with just supersu.
Having the same problem
I can't even do the OEM unlock and wondering if Knox is stopping me from doing it. Kingroot gets to about 77% before giving up. Also tried "one click root" and "odin" and a couple of others. Tried to uninstall Knox with many different aps but noway will it let me. I bought this J3 in HongKong and it is full of crap and adds that pop up and cover the whole screen. I have had some negative affects on the phone with all the playing around I've done to the point where when I hold down the buttons (power volume etc) the phone just goes into its first normal boot screen and stays there. Hope I haven't hijacked the thread but thought I may have the same problem as the original thread poster

I was surprised at first when you directed me to this thread ashyx, the first word I saw was Kingroot and I was sure a dev such as yourself wouldn't use that.
I write against Kingroot all the time. It is information stealing malware that doesn't even give true root, packs PUPs, and sends IMEI and other info to China upon install (check the logcat).
And it's nortoriously hard to get rid of and replace with a different SU. From what I read above, true root hasnt' been achieved yet. Ive used KR a few times in the past, but never again. It used to be easier to replace KingUser w SuperSU. Not so much anymore.
Please folks, Kingroot IS NOT actual root ; please quit posting about it in a true professional developer site.
Ahyx, PM me if you wish. I'd like to work on any methods other than this. I can get the bootloader unlocked from Net 10. But not until having it hooked up w/ lthem for a year. I've already chosen to disconnect this device anyhow because I can't stand using a non-rooted phone. Too bad, it's a good machine. I got a great buy on it. $50US brand new. Same store today $99. WalMart = $120
I just bought an LG G3 for $45. Verizon model, interesting root. I had to downgrade firmware to achieve root. It's TWRPd, and running Dirty Unicorns 10.6, a nice rom, better once I mod it.
Tried the latest RR rom for it. Nougat was cool, but too early, too many bugs.
Hello!
These are a few files and guides for rooting a G930T with the Android Oreo 8.0.0 G930TUVS9CSC1 update.
Most Samsung apps, such as S-Health and Samsung Pay, will not function as Knox has detected root.
I've included a link to a patched S-Health app that allows for step-counting, but HR and Sp02 functionalities are missing.
Read all of this and the original guide linked at the bottom before performing any steps towards rooting the device.
-ROOT GUIDE-
-Backup any data on the device.
-Enable "OEM Unlock" in the Developer Options menu on the device.
-Reboot the device into Download mode. ODIN v3.13 should recognize it with an "Added!!"
-Add the v9 Bootloader into the "BL" entry box. Nothing else should be added or checked.
-Begin the transfer with "Start."
-Once the phone has rebooted into Android, open CMD with "cmd-here.exe."
-Enter "root.bat" into the command prompt window to begin the root process.
-Follow the root directions. There will be descriptions of each step in the CMD window, so read them carefully.
-Once the device has been rebooted and rooted, FlashFire, SuperSU, and other apps will appear on the device.
-Use FlashFire to flash the VoLTE icon removal zip. Check both mounting boxes for the flash to succeed.
The guide has been completed with hopefully no issues.
If for any reason there has been an issue or you'd like to unroot the device, stock files have been linked at the bottom.
In my experience, a factory reset and a flash of the stock files should undo most user errors.

Can somebody help me out? I am trying to go back to stock and despite having a free membership on sam, it will not allow me to download the stock firmware. It keeps telling me to sign up even though I am a free member. Free members should be able to get the latest firmware at a slow speed without paying correct? I dunno why somebody just doesn't toss these files up on a dropbox or google drive.

Root worked . But i'm trying to return to stock because a deal came up with Tmobile and i want to return everything to stock for a possible trade in.
I've added an archive of all of the files at the bottom of the original post, @ftateen.
OK I have read every post in this thread and now my brain hurts. It's been a long day so I am probably just being stupid, however.... I have a 930 with bootloaderv9 I believe (g930tuvsacsg1). Can I follow the rooting guide but use the 930u engineer to gain root or is my phone still a no love zone>

I'm in the same boat. From what I can tell, it seems like T-Mobile added bootloader 9 to the update, but I can't confirm whether using the version linked to in this post will work without issue or if the versions have to be a perfect match to not fail/brick/trip Knox.
All I really want is to root my old S7 so I can play around with root-level access. I'm not using it for mobile data, just tethering to my current phone's mobile hotspot, so it makes no difference to me if I end up with a T-Mobile tweak of Android or something more like a stock version.

Hello! I'm a newbie in all of this, so forgive me if I'm asking something obvious.
I used this thread to root my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0, but I can't edit the hosts file.
Root Checker says Root Access is properly installed but when I try to edit and save the hosts file I get a message that I can't save because it's a read-only file system.
I tried to edit using ES File Explorer and Cx File Explorer with no luck.
A long time ago I had this same phone rooted with Android version 6.0 and I was able to edit the hosts file.
Any idea how to fix this? All help would be appreciated.
-------------
UPDATE: I found a solution. Another file explorer worked. I have no idea why the others didn't.
I am trying to root my SM-N910F using CF Auto Root but when the phone reboots, I noticed that
it says boot image not found, aborting........ and the phone will not root. Is there anything I am doing
wrong or that I missed to cause this issue?

Wasn't it much easier if you install TWRP first, then root it using magisk?
Thank you for thatsuggestion. I didnt know that I can install TWRP before rooting the phone first
I had trouble rooting with CF auto root on my SM-N910F, not exactly the same problem as you.
Then I did some reading into other root alternatives and basically found out that SuperSU, which CF autoroot uses, was sold to a Chinese company called Coding Code Mobile Technlogy sometime around 2015. As it's closed source and Chinese firms particularly have been known not to respect user privacy, I would go with Magisk instead as it's open source, plus I have had zero problems with it so far.
Thank you so much for your help. I am not an expert with the rooting, but done a Note 4 Verizon before and it wasnt easy.
Now I got the 910F and I want to make sure I dont brick it. Can you tell me where I can find exact instructions? I already
downloaded twrp-3.3.1-0-trlte.img is that the correct version for my 910F ?

I'm no expert myself, in fact I'm new to it! but I'll share with you what I know.
I basically flashed TWRP to the phone using Samsung Odin (Loads of videos Youtube showing the process) Then I used Android Debug Bridge to push the Magisk flashable .zip file over to the phone (I think I could have actually just copied it into /sdcard - Androids name for internal storage bizarrely - through windows just like any other external device) before booting into TWRP on the phone, and simply selecting "install", selecting the Magisk .zip and flashing it from there. Then I just booted into Android and I seem to remember either the Magisk manager app will now be in your app draw, or alternatively there is an app placeholder there which allows you to download the full manager app, I can't remember which it is but small difference. Here is a link to the official Magisk thread on XDA which you can use find the download links you need. Take note that right at the top it states...
"Magisk does NOT have a website. Do NOT download Magisk from unofficial sites"
When I did it I downloaded Magisk from one of the top websites that appears when you search "Magisk" in Duckduckgo (they look very official) however after I read the notice above in the official thread I wiped the phone and did the process over again just to be safe! I hope that is helpful. :good:

did you remove battery after the flash?
Thanks for your help. Yes I tried that after the 2nd attempt when I set Odin not to auto reboot, I removed the battery
and then booted the phone after inserting the battery with the same result, not root. I am wondering why it says
boot image not found, aborting....... since I loaded the CF Auto Root which should be the correct boot image

6. Go to ADVANCED, below there are list, select INSTALL ROOT.
7. Reboot your RM5G.
At first, my RM5G restart twice, I was afraid that it was bootloop, the 3rd boots, it booted up and its rooted already.
Also, when I first registered my Finger Print, it’s malfunctioning, so I just deleted the OLD FP , register NEW FP and it works like a charm.
Now, I managed to flash the wonderful kernel of @mslezak.

Great job bro !
Note for those that don't know how to enable developer options - go to settings, about phone, click build number 7x. It should take you right to the Developer Options menu. Nice clear concise guide by the way! Glad someone wrote a simpler one than the one I wrote initially, only so many hours in the day.

Thanks for mentioning the dev. option. All credit to all of you guys who made this possible.
I've been trying for days to download the MEGA zip, but no matter what I do it always stays on 0% and gives me an error. I tried on different browsers, on different computers, and using the desktop app, I even tried with the mobile app with no luck. Could someone please share a mirror or another link, please?
Nevermind, I was finally able to download the file, my solution was to use chrome instead of firefox and close every window except the mega one... I left it like that for a couple of hours and it finally downloaded it.
Possibly a stupid question, but are there any downsides to this other than the risk of bricking?

Its a normal troubleshooting, if its not working to other browser, try another one, great to hear that you managed, happy rooting.

Thanks but this isn't what I meant, I was thinking more so of apps not working due to root detection. Banking apps or others?

You can hide the Magisk (setting/select the apps/then hide magisk) so it will not detect that you are rooted.

Hi,
2 questions. First of all, does this method work for all of the 5G phones? As in the European version etc. And second of all, will the phone brick if you update it via OTA, or do we need to do this method every time?

Hi, see attached. You have to rename the Magisk after selecting in pic. # 1.
You can find the FP calibration procedure here in XDA.

Hi Guys, first of all thanks for awesome tutorial. Got it rooted and enjoying the perks. However, some issues do exist. 1. The phone has detected a new update v4.09. Will the root be deactivated if I update the system? Second question, my banking app is detecting the root and does not want to start. I did set magisk manager to hide it from the app and restarted the phone even, but no luck the app still sees the root. Any solution for it? Thanks all
hello I would like to know how to put it back original? bootloader, Root ... thank you

1. If you updated your RM5G before rooting, its bug, ignore it.
2. Mine is working as i showed in the photo above (ANB)
