A service has said that they can remotely root my ATT Galaxy S4 that is on version I337UCUFNC1. Has anybody used them before? Is it safe ti use them? I don't like the idea of somebody accessing my phone with all the private info it contains.
Thank you,
Jeff

if you can't root it yourself using towelroot, then you dont need a rooted phone. it doesn't even require a pc, its all done on your phone. i was able to hook up my elevator guy quicker than he could get me to the 7th floor.:laugh:

I have never heard of towelroot. Can you provide some more info on it?
I had a S3 that I Manually rooted, but the locked bootloader on the S4 has scared me from doing it.
Any info would be great!
Thanks!

I was able to use Towelroot to get root access. I used the root checker app and a file manger to verify this.
I do have (2) questions if anyone can help:
1) Even after rooting, I could not delete any bloatware. Any tips to do this?
2) Is it now safe to install a custom recovery like TWRP? Or will this conflict with the Locked Boot Loader?
Thank you,

1) Make sure you used SELinux Mode Changer as that will interfere with some root apps.
2) You cannot install TWRP, CWM, or any other normal recovery. If you look in the development section you'll find Safestrap, which is an alternative for our locked bootloader. You'll be limited to only Touchwiz ROMs and the two mostly functioning Google Edition ROMs in the dev section.
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

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. There's no known way to root without pc. You'll need it to flash twrp, then root it.
you need a pc for flasher twrp and then happened with it without forgetting that you lose your warranty and for this point no solution to date ...
Good luck
Hi there,
I recently rooted my phone. I figured out various bugs and I thought everything seemed to be working fine. However, the audio doesn't seem to be working now. I've checked all the relevant settings I can find that might be a cause (the voice recorder won't work either) - but I think it must be related to the root process. In a PC I would know how to fix it- in phone I don't know. Has anyone encountered this before? any suggested solutions?
Thanks

By using CF auto root...
Link originally found on samsungsfour website.
Also have Link 2SD. This had a bug where it wouldn't recognise the SD card mount. So I had to install system app mover and app2SD apps.... went through the process and all seemed fine...except the speaker no worky. No music. No ringtone, etc.
Thanks

Simplest method to root your phone is to flash twrp and flash supersu or magisk. No problems at all.
What is the type of the ROM that u installed in your rooted phone after rooting. Is it a custom ROM or the stock?

I looked at TWRP. However, could not see the Samsung J5 2017 listed specifically - so did not run this. If you believe that this works on another device, can you specify which model no.? or alternatively provide a link to a working version?
Similarly, for the SuperSu or Magisk?
Thanks

Try this rooting method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/guide-root-samsung-galaxy-j5-pro-sm-t3765067
So as the title says, it is possible to root the Samsung Tab A SM-P580?
My reason for wanting to root is so that I can mount the SD card as internal storage and I can't find much regarding it other than using apps like app2sd which just isn't good enough sadly.
In an ideal world I'd like to get a custom rom like lineage running on the tablet but I need full s-pen functionality.
My Tab A is running android 8.1.0, which I think means I can't root?
Please help.
Thanks

It still works, but you need to downgrade to Android Nougat 7 then you can root it with TWRP. You cannot root Oreo because TWRP is bugged with a black graphics line screen (looks like a damaged screen).
ya im aware that root still works on android 7. i was wondering about a working root solution for android 8.1

If you only need root (no TWRP), you can simply follow the instructions which have been posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78373937&postcount=2
I've used the method to root my P580 on 8.1 and it works without any issues.

You could use app2sd, but installing app to sd is a REALLY bad idea because sd card can corrupt easily, you can lose all of your data in every app that is on the sd.
But yes, if you want to take the risk, it will works, if you are rooted
