How to root Galaxy J7 Prime2 SM-G611F Android 7.1.1 - Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion

XDA will not let me in publish external URLs or attach files. So I am gonna get 10 posts in this thread if I see interest from others.
I have tested this method on my device. Was able to root without bricking or bootlooping. This method will wipe all your data on your phone. Make sure you backup everything!
To perform this method you will need:
Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC
Odin 3.13.1
USB OTG cable (micro USB to female USB)
USB drive with SuperSU zip file on it
Files to use (will attach after getting 10 posts since i am a new user):
1) SuperSU 2.82 for SM-G611F
2) TWRP-3.2.1 SM-G611F.tar
Steps:
#1
Go to developer options, disable and then enable “OEM unlock”. This device has a display issue of default setting (“on” by default” but in real it is “off”). After re-enabling, confirm operation on popup window by choosing "Enable" again.
#2
Power off then power on in download mode by pressing “volume down” + “home” + “power”
#3
Flash TWRP-3.2.1 SM-G611F.tar
#4
Reboot. Device will load normally to home screen
#5
Power off and turn on in recovery mode (“volume up” + “home” + “power”)
#6
in TWRP go to “Wipe” and select “Format data”. After formatting reboot to recovery again
#7
Connect USB drive with SuperSU via OTG cable (micro USB to female USB). Drive should be formatted as exFAT
#8
Go to “Install” , then select “Select Storage” and choose “USB OTG”. Locate "SuperSU" file
#9
Flash SuperSU, wipe cache/delvik then reboot device. It will load twice and take longer time to load. Do not interrupt the process. After device finish loading you will need to setup your device again.
Proof screenshot I will post after getting 10 posts...

It seems to have worked for me, although I flashed TWRP from my computer, using another tutorial. If you flash TWRP from your computer, you MUST disable "Auto-Reboot" in the Options tab, before you click on start. Look for erdentec dot com ROOT Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2, Install TWRP SM-G611 on how to flash TWRP from your laptop.

Need Help Installing CloudyG2 v2.2

Hello, I am having some trouble trying to install the CloudyG2 v2.2 Rom on my LG L2 D802 and would please like some help.
These are the steps I followed:
Activated developer mode
Enabled USB debugging
Allow installation of apps from unknown sources
Went to the towelroot website on the phone and downloaded the root, installed and "made it rain" with success
Downloaded and installed SuperSU from app store
Downloaded and installed Root Checker from app store
Ran Root Checker and was told my device has been rooted
Downloaded and installed TWRP Recovery D802_AutoRec.apk
Ran AutoRec and followed steps then booted to recovery
Phone then booted into TWRP Recovery
Created a backup of Boot, System and EFS
Once the backup was created, I went back and checked to make sure it showed in the Recovery tab.
This is where I am stuck!!!
I am now up to the step where I need to install the ROM. However I have not transferred the CloudyG2_2.2.zip to the phone from my computer.
How can I do this? because now when I try to reboot my phone it shows the LG logo and then the screen goes black and there is a blue/green light at the top of the phone flashing.
I have searched around for hours looking for a solution so any help would be greatly appreciated =)
Enter in download mode and go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
To enter in download mode power off your phone, keep volume down key pressed and plug the usb cable.
You can try straight flashing ROM after wiping using USB-OTG cable or ADB Sideload. It might work, but I'm not sure.

When I try to enter download mode, I get stuck on the 'Firmware Update" page and it has been stuck at 0% for over 20 mins.
Using OTG
Keep flashable zip file of any working ROM in OTG pendrive.
Connect OTG pendrive.
Enter into recovery mode.
Go to Mount option and check USB-OTG.
Come back and select install.
goto /usb-otg and select the zip to install...
And Done...
Not tried but you can try this...
[Make sure you have your pendrive in FAT32 format and not NTFS]

Just went out and bought a USB-OTG cable and transferred the CloudyG2 v2.2 ROM onto a thumb drive
I then tried to open it in TWRP by going to "Install" and changing the storage drive to USB-OTG but it will not let me select it.
Thanks for the help but does anyone have any more ideas I could try?
EDIT: Just saw chauhanrvikas post and I am about to reformat the thumb drive to FAT32 as it was NTFS
:good::laugh::good: IT IS WORKING!!! :good::laugh::good:
Thank you to both Speedypancake and chauhanrvikas for helping me to get it working.

GUIDE
After booting into recovery mode I could not get the phone to boot back into the system, nor could I get "Download Mode" or "ADB Sideload" to work, however the steps below did work.
If you did not transfer the ROM zip file onto your device before entering TWRP then follow these steps:
Get yourself a USB-OTG cable (Micro USB to Female USB cable).
Format a USB Thumb Drive to FAT32 and transfer the ROM zip file to it.
When in TWRP go to the "Backup" and create a backup.
Check the backup was created by going to "Restore" and see if the file is there.
Plug the Thumb Drive into the USB-OTG cable and then into the phone.
Go to "Install" and change the selected storage drive to USB-OTG.
Now you can select your ROM zip file and install.
Hopefully this can help someone else and save them from spending over 10 hours like I did trying to fix this issue because I thought I had bricked my phone for good.

1. Turn on USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in your phone.
2. Turn off your device
3. Push Vol- , Home and Power buttons at once
4. When you'll see warning, click Vol+
5. Open Odin
6. Make sure you have F. Reset Time enabled (Options fold)
7. Go back to Log fold
8. Click PDA (maybe AP) button
9. Select your TWRP file
10. When it's loaded, connect your phone
11. You should see Added! in log
12. Click 'Start' button
13. Reboot phone into the recovery mode.
If it failed, remove the battery from the phone for 5 minutes and try again. If it's still failing, just don't stop trying.
If I did help, leave ?.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) with S Pen LTE (SM-P205) ROOT ACHIEVED / Howto

So here are my experiences with rooting the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) with S Pen (SM-P205)
First of all i am not responsible for any damages or data loss of your devices. So be aware that you could brick your device!
I tested this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with SPEN LTE SM-205. The procedure should be the same for the SM-P200 as this procedure is a general Samsug procedure for 2019 Devices.
But since i dont have one. I cant test this.
As no twrp recovery exists for this device be very carefull!
Before you begin make a backup of your internal storage as it gets deleted several times during this procedure!!!!
Therefore it could be handy to also use a sdcard(wont get deleted) for copying files to/from the device.
But it can also be done without. This howto is based on the magisk manual from topjohnwu.
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html (Samsung System-as-root Section)
Tools needed:
Firmware of your device
Odin3_v3.13.1 Link thanks to Life Companion
Magisk Manager Link thanks to topjohnwu
Samfirm (deprecated but works) Link thanks to zxz0O0
1. Do a software update to the newest version of the firmware.
At the time writing this is P205DXU2ASH2 for my Samsung Galaxy Tab A with SPen LTE (SM-P205)
2. Find out what firmware your device is using and also what's is the region / CSC of your device.
To do that go to settings/About Tablet/Software Information/
Baseband version:
e.g. P205DXU2ASH2
Next Step scroll down to "Service providewr SW ver." and look at your CSC in the last line:
eg. XME/XME/XME -> CSC is XME (Malaysia)
3. Now its time to download the correspondending firnmware for your device. Use SamFirm Tool to download your firmware (Check "Auto". Type in your Model (SM-P205 and your CSC) and download or download it
from the usual Samsung Firmware Download Pages
(eg. SamMobile.com etc)
4. Unzip the downloaded Firwmare with 7zip
5. You will now have 5 Files beginning with their names: AP,BL,CP,CSC and HOME_CSC
These are ODIN flashable files.
6. Download and install the current magisk manager to our device. Also copy the AP File to your devices internal memory or sdcard. Best method for copying is using adb.
Start magisk and click on install. Press a second time install and choose "Select and Patch a File" Choose your copied AP file. Magisk will now patch the image and inject itself.
The patched file can now be found in your Download directory of your internal memory. Its name is magisk_patched.tar. Copy it over to your PC. Again best method is using adb for copying.
7. Bootloader Unlocking:
Quote from the magisk documentation from topjohnwu:
"
Unlocking Bootloader
Normally I wouldn’t provide instructions for this, but since things had changed drastically from previous Samsung devices, and there are some caveats, I figure this would be helpful.
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot your device to download mode. Either use adb reboot download, or use the key combo for your device.
"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Mode Key Combo: Vol + and Vol -
"
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
Just when you think the bootloader is unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk. Connect the device to internet in the setup!
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out! The VaultKeeper service will unleash the bootloader after it confirms that the user has the OEM unlocking option
enabled.
Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode.
"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Next step will be flashing the patched image to your device. We will use 3 of the files from the original stock firmware files you downloaded except for the AP File.
But first click on Options and disable Auto Reboot! After that click on BL and choose correspondending File beginning with BL from the unziped original stock firmwarefiles you downloaded.
For the AP file we will choose the patched magisk image magisk_patched.tar we copied over from our device. For CP and CSC choose the CP and HOME_CSC files. USERDATA will not be used.
9. So now its time to flash your device. First connect the device to the PC. Without connection it will not get into download mode. Boot your device in download mode by first turning it off.
Turn it on by pressing the power button and if it turns on immediately press Vol + and Vol - after relasing the power button and hold it until you see the Download Mode Screen.
If you dont't get it try the fellowing: Turn on the device with power button. Hold Vol - and Power and wait about 7 secs until the display turn black. Imidiantly press Vol Vol + and Vol - and hold until you see the download mode
screen. Press Vol+ to activate Download Mode.
Back in Odin its now time to flash your device.
Press all finger and begin flashing by pressing "Start".
The flash process is finshed as you see the a green "Pass" in the left upper corner.
10. As of now you have to boot into recovery everytime to start your device into a rooted system. Be aware of this and avoid booting the device without pressing the key combination for the recovery. This must be
done everytime you turn it on or after every reboot of the device. If you forget this the device will boot into a non rooted system and samsungs security could make your device unusuable and you
have to flash the device again and losing all data.
So now press Vol - and Power for about 7 secs to reboot the device. Immediately press Vol + and Power. Hold it and wait until you see the stock recovery. It will
possibly show Ereasing data and reboot after that. Press again Vol + and Power and hold it until you will now see the recovery menu. Select Wipe data/factory reset with the Vol + and Vol - Buttons and confirm
with the power button.
After that reboot the device and press the recovery key combo again but now release it shortly after you see the Samsung Logo a second time. Wait until it is booted and do the initial
setup. Install Magisk Manager again.
When you start it it should show a message that it should have to do some further setups and will reboot the device.
Confirm that and wait until it reboots as you now have to press the key combo for booting
into recovery again. Release it as the Samsung Logo comes up a second time. So you see. This is a important step pressing this key combo.
11. So after the reboot your device should now be rooted. Check that by starting magisk manager.
Again this tutorial is based on the magisk documentation. So all credits go to topjohnwu.

Any update yet?
Thank you for the directions! I was able to root my SM-P200 (Korean Version). I did have to do step 7 (Unlock Bootloader) before step 6 (Patching the AP file with Magisk) for it to flash properly.
Mine stuck at "Download Mode" once flashed T_T
I followed all your steps but mine got stuck on "download mode" once flashed and restarted..How to solve it?
What option do i need to tick or untick during injecting magisk (i ticked all 3s including "recovery mode")? and during flashing with odin (i ticked only F. Reset Time)...
Can you share your "magisked" version of ap.tar?
i'm also using xme lte version of sm-p205...
Resolved
Thanks, solved the problem...All i did is extracting the .tar and recompress it using 7zip...Just ensure the compress one is in the same setup...and the 2nd screen of samsung (powered bt knoxx, same with the 1st screen,release the recovery key immediately once 2nd screen popped up) is the one after the "warning of boatloader with power symbol at the bottom" not the "samsung" only logo...Thanks people..Appreciate the post...
This is great - thanks
Bit of a shame we have to reboot via recovery or else risk loosing all our data. Any way around this? I suppose we would need TWRP for this device to flash RMM zip. And TWRP is probably unlikely considering this is a relatively uncommon device
Edit:
In accidentally starting without going via recovery it would seem I've now got KG prenormal. Can't flash the magisk patched AP. Only stock. So that's back where I am. Anyone have any advice on how I can root now? seems now to be undoable

Hi,
do you still see the oem unlock in delevoper settings? Normaly you have to put in a sim card, turn on mobile data and wait for 7 days until you can retry rooting.
flushb
P.S: I already compiled a kernel that boots but i dont think i am able to build a working twrp recovery because i am not a developer. Samsung did finaly release the current kernel sources.
P.P.S: I have made a magisk dual speaker module if someone is in need i can upload it.

Thanks for that - I think I'll just have to wait a little while. I'm using the wifi version so no sim for me. can still unlock bootloader ok, just can't flash magisk patched tar.
Well done on the kernel, hopefully TWRP appears for this device, it's a great little tablet.
I tried to have a go building TWRP using this guide (https://github.com/TwrpBuilder/twrpbuilder_tree_generator/wiki). But had some errors in compiling, though I'm not a developer so I'm not too sure about solving them. But when I've got time and motivation I'd love to learn more about development!
Halp
Mine got failed and its stuck on recovery.img Pls some help me via team viewer (

The reason you get a bootloop is because even though the bootloader is unlocked and you've rooted the tablet, all of Samsung's security stuff is still enabled, so when you go tampering with the /system partition, it triggers the security and ultimately results in a bootloop. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to disable Samsung's security measures without a custom recovery, and even then you have to flash a NoKnox script to disable Knox, a multi-disabler to disable all of the other stuff, and then a custom kernel to completely wipe all of it out. Root is a good first step, but we are far from finished with this device. I'm currently working on TWRP, but from there who knows?

Back in Odin its now time to flash your device.
Press all finger and begin flashing by pressing "Start".
The flash process is finshed as you see the a green "Pass" in the left upper corner.
10. As of now you have to boot into recovery everytime to start your device into a rooted system. Be aware of this and avoid booting the device without pressing the key combination for the recovery. This must be
done everytime you turn it on or after every reboot of the device. If you forget this the device will boot into a non rooted system and samsungs security could make your device unusuable and you
have to flash the device again and losing all data.
So now press Vol - and Power for about 7 secs to reboot the device. Immediately press Vol + and Power. Hold it and wait until you see the stock recovery. It will
possibly show Ereasing data and reboot after that. Press again Vol + and Power and hold it until you will now see the recovery menu. Select Wipe data/factory reset with the Vol + and Vol - Buttons and confirm
with the power button.
After that reboot the device and press the recovery key combo again but now release it shortly after you see the Samsung Logo a second time. Wait until it is booted and do the initial
setup. Install Magisk Manager again.
When you start it it should show a message that it should have to do some further setups and will reboot the device.
Confirm that and wait until it reboots as you now have to press the key combo for booting
into recovery again. Release it as the Samsung Logo comes up a second time. So you see. This is a important step pressing this key combo.
11. So after the reboot your device should now be rooted. Check that by starting magisk manager.
Again this tutorial is based on the magisk documentation. So all credits go to topjohnwu.

Magisk requires renewal, is it okay if it's updated ??
Does bootloop not occur ??
I am looking forward for a twrp and a Lineage for this tablet so hard...you cant imagine....

Root ------> speed up tablet
Has anyone who has achieved root used an app like kernel adiutor to improve performance and how did it go? How did affect battery life?

I have shared my detail experience at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/root-roms-2019-tab-8-0-sm-p200-5-t3933089/page2
can i update magisk through magisk manager ??
hi,
thx for the comprehensive instruction.
I have successfully rooting my sm-p205
I have 2 questions if u pls help me :
1. I want root my sm-p205 because I want to use tincore keymapper. but although now I have successfully rooted it, it seems that I have to set the selinux to permissive.
I have tried all I've found, from using selinuxmodechanger, selinuxswitch, or even using terminal with su 0 setenforce 0, and all not working. that selinux still enforcing.
can u pls help me how to change the selinux ?
2. if I couldnt change the selinux, than it's no use for me to still on root. Is there anyway to go back to original stock firmware and unroot ? because I read on the last instruction of magisk that I may not flash it again with usual ap file that it may make it brick ?
thx
Any update on a lineage build for this? I would love to have adaptive storage work on this tablet - the adb shell version fails for me corrupting the sd.
