Alright guys, check the OP again, I uploaded a few things including the TWRP to my google drive and threw sharable links into there. This is my first time using drive for file hosting so let me know if/when it doesn't let you download the file, and we can see if there's a bandwidth/download per day limit. Hopefully with the links provided by AL and my Drive links though we should be able to meet the demand we've seen so far for the device. Hopefully once we get our own device forum and some more recognition we'll have come up with a more reliable, tested file hosting service for all the things we have now and those to come.

Now that I've finished updating the OP, back to testing! Will still be a bit before I give all a rundown of things, but hopefully I'll have plenty of good news to come. Just think of how far we've come already.

If you need good hosting [MENTION=7284909]darknaio[/MENTION] let me know. I can host on androidfilehost where I currently host several devices of roms,etc. Just caught up with the thread this morning. Been working all weekend. I see you guys have been very busy. Will tinker around with the root method posted and report back any issues I encounter.

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

Something I would suggest to all who have installed the root method and are experiencing issues is this. Be sure that if you had King Root installed before trying the supersu method that you have uninstalled Kingroot properly.

1. Make sure King Root is in actual root mode.

2. Click on tab for settings in upper right corner and select settings.

3. Scroll to bottom and select uninstall King Root.

4. If asked about backing up King Root select no.

5. Uninstall it.

6. Reboot to recovery and before flashing supersu from here mount system in recovery.

7. After mounting system via recovery select advanced,file manager and browse file system to /system and delete any instances of king root files you see. Youll know them by their naming. Should be only two.

8. Now wipe cache and dalvik-art cache before flashing supersu

9. Flash supersu zip and reboot.

10. This may or may not resolve any issues experienced with the supersu method available now. But it is known from other devices that remnants of king root can cause issues with supersu functionality.

Totally dropped my phone last night and now it's cracked -_-Probability says it was bound to happen to one of us. Anyone know any affordable fixes or is it more sense to just buy a new J3
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Curtis1973:
My root seems to be holding after a number of reboots,can't test xposed due to the odexing and attempts to deodex are not rendering properly deodexed apks. The deodexing utilities (pick one) say they have successfully deodexed but upon decompile the smali folders are empty in the apps. So must test root through other things besides xposed.

Posted link in reply 2 dwnld for stock boot.img

Its in reply to your original post asking for it.... see it?

Put on ext sd or internal, do install w/twrp, it will not show until you click boot.inf bottom right, make sure you choose boot up top, not recovery and flash.

Update of my kernel:

not a huge difference but it does include noop and BFQ with Early Queue Merge I/O sched.

Flashable image:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555004883

New Modules:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312978532265364213

Commands to run:

adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount,rw /system'"

adb shell "su -c 'chmod 7664 /system/lib/modules/*.ko'"

Going to try and get around to making a flashable zip that will re install SU as well. Im still trying to figure all this stuff out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddpiratekidd:
Didnt help same problem -_-
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rick.wardenburg:
Im pretty sure if you can boot up on a previous backup an then reboot into twrp everything should work as long as you dont wipe data
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddpiratekidd:
thats what i did, dunno whats going on -_-
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hooks405:
I've noticed little issues like this when restoring a backup as well, mine are usually with apps and I don't have a message tone. Try wiping cache/dalvik.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddpiratekidd:
kk

EDIT: No luck with that either =\
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hooks405:
That's weird, I believe your device is considered J320P? Only Firmware available for J320P on Samsung open source is the same for sprint variant. Not sure how to go about that, is your backup full stock, if so a data wipe might be ok. If you have deleted stock apps, packages, or services before your back up you could get the same result. I don't really know what to tell you man. I'm using my latest kernel with the latest firmware and have no issue. I don't know what could have gone wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Inotamira:
Rick, here's my process, FW, TWRP, your zip, issues, clear cache and data, works fine, install su from here, works great except, task view and home button doesn't work at all. I think I figured out why, the setup wizard doesn't start when doing a factory reset, it needs to other wise the home and task view doesn't work correctly, I'm trying a fix I found, but because the setup wizard is flagged as incomplete, I can't get developer options, and the terminal emulators can't seem to grab root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Inotamira:
Got a terminal emulator to grab root, however, every command I enter is getting permission denied when trying to interact with the setup wizard, likely to prevent "illegal tampering" any ideas Rick?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rick.wardenburg:
I removed it, i just find it to be an annoyance, i know that if u can boot up fully to the launcher then go to twrp then flash the zip withoit wiping anything it should work fine! Try that ive been running it no issues
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolbeans2016:
thanks Cody

Thanks Cody! Any continuing improvements is much welcomed! Hey, could you help MaddPirateKid... in post below, he's having problems getting phone working again after loading messi's last CM, he tried stock boot.img I gave hime and that didn't fix it....

Just noticed, my phone works with calls, texts but it will not update PRL or Profile either........ bet thats a problem if/when I travel outside this cell tower coverage area......... ouch!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hooks405:
That's odd I really don't know what happened I'm using my newest kernel which I haven't even posted. My PRL says it updated, I don't know what you should do it appears we have the same firmware but, it's up to you how risky you want to be. My newest kernel supports the following I/o I honestly ran 2 atutu bench Marx and didn't see much difference. Waiting to overclock CPU and GPU until I ask someone with experience. My source https://github.com/Hooks405/kernel_j3ltespr/tree/cm-12.1?files=1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolbeans2016:
What I do...

Latest firmware, latest permissive kernel & modules for library, TWRP, Ricks 1st deodexed.zip.

Boot up on TWRP-advanced wipe... wipe everything except external memory. I will have odin already opened on computer, with FW selected ready to go, so after wipe I boot into download mode (vol- + power & home key). Press vol up, soon as com lights up in odin begin flashing fw.

When thru of course you have to setup phone including developer options.

Flash TWRP (pop battery) catch TWRP on startup (vol+ & power + home keys)

You need to make sure you will have root explorer available.

I use apk extractor by mehr in playstors, keep latest apk's of various apps I know I will need in reloading this phone from scratch in a folder on sd card along with SuperSU (using SYSTEM ver 2.78) so the immediate lack of wifi is not so hard.

Unzip modules (es file explorer or root explorer do it great)

In folder on ext sd card, using root explorer you can have one tab set to module library, other tab to ext sd card unzipped modules... mount internal library r/w (this is taking into account you will already have flashed supersu), delete modules in library, copy paste ones from Cody & set permissions, reboot! ☆☆☆$$PROFIT $$☆☆☆

Im able to update PRL/Profile now.

You might not want all the steps, but I get best performance, control on this phone deodexed, with no KNOX.

Hope this helps....

Zach
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hooks405:
In response to your hangouts message definitely DO NOT UNCHECK "OEM UNLOCK" it will not boot to recovery or the stock ROM, Although it does boot into download mode so you are able to flash stock firmware and update, update to newest firmware, pull battery on reboot, flash recovery, flash newest img, flash SU, and you should be good. Dont quote me, ive had a few drinks even though no one has bought me any latley lol.

I'm not an expert at over clocking, but I am fairly experienced, and I would strongly suggest you never over clock this device. The thing has issues over heating at it's base clock speed, going over that can only end in a "Note 7" experience.

Binary blocked by FRP lock

OK, i just tried to root and it said binary blocked by FRP lock. i have no idea what that is, I did some research but came back empty handed. the phone still reboots and every thing, but it rejects the root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Inotamira:
That's the Factory Reset protection, basically it keeps people from stealing devices through factory resets. You'll want to check the OEM Unlock option under developer options, usually that get's rid of it to my understanding.

Samsung has filed a SM-J327P phone with the FCC, along with secrecy request, whatever you call that. Only the model is being released, but intended for US market here soon as it clears......
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuiRoot:
Hi there,

I saw on page 23 that someone had an issue with keeping permanent root. He reported to lose root at least once a day and that's exactly what I'm facing too. I know that the cfSuperSu is system-less and some apps need a trick to work correctly (added BINDSYSTEMXBIN=true to /data/.supersu solved that if it helps) but the SuperSu itsellf is showing a message that "There is no SU binary installed and Super SU cannot install it. This is a problem!".

Rebooting (without any other action) solved the issue but it's a pain. I also wiped everything and redo the tuto on page 1 but the problem is still there.

Related or not, I also tried to update SuperSu with the last version from the store but it did not help. I should also add that the install fails but SuperSu says that it's working after a reboot...

I read that the technique in this topic works for you and you seem to be well advanced devs so you might have some ideas...

Thanks !

PS : just to make things clear I have a Sprint SM-J320P running android 5.1.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mr_reaper:
im on boost variant. got it rooted with this method and everything is fine even updated to new firmware
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuiRoot:
Additionally to my previous post I remember this:

I just bought my phone and it actually has the APH2 firmware on it. Should I reflash it with the AOL firmware from samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-J320P/region/SPR/? I am not sure this will solve the issue since I read in this topic that others upgraded their firmware with no problem.

I am listening to you masters :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolbeans2016:
No, u got the best fw

Thats the firmware you want. When using odin to send TWRP recovery to device, pop the batterry, then catch it on boot to insure it takes..

Ok thanks. I will stay with this firmware then.

I have no problem installing TWRP or SuperSu... but Supersu is lost at least once a day (explained in my previous post).

I'm hoping someone can answer my question. I used to post in this thread when I had the J3 but then I stopped because I got rid of the phone. I had it on Boost and it was rooted. Now I'm thinking about getting another J3 but I'm getting an unlocked one because I want to use it on Tracfone. I don't know what model it is, I just know that it has Marshmallow 6.0 (I'm buying it from Best Buy and they don't say the model number). Will I be able to root it and if so, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks and sorry for the long post. :D

newer SR1

Chainfire has released SR1-SuperSUv2.78 system-less.... but tell you the truth, I as well as others are using the SuperSU 2.78 System Mode one.

I and others also experienced TWRP not sticking if you do not pop the battery after first using odin to send to phone. Not just catching TWRP recovery on 1st boot, but after 1st sending to phone, pop battery.

Afterwards, do not mess with the disabler.zip or the 2nd Deodexed w/mods.zip. At this point right now, 1. current firmware (J320PVPU1AOL2_J320PSPT1AOL2_J320PVPU1AOL2_HOME.tar), 2. permissive kernel & modules #5, 3. TWRP, SuperSU (your choice), 4. Deodex.zip (SM-J320P.Stock.Fully.De.Od3xed-1..... pretty much good to go!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuiRoot:
Thanks for the info. Some questions to make sure ;)

1- the SuperSU 2.78 System Mode is the one in the OP? I tried with it or SR1-SuperSUv2.78 system-less and have the exact same issue

2- I poped the battery after using Odin the first time but I have this issue with SuperSu. Poping the battery was mandatory though, no way to reboot or anything.

3- I did not try anything experimental or too fancy (disabler.zip or the 2nd Deodexed w/mods.zip). I just flashed TWRP, poped the battery, went in recovery mode, and flashed SuperSu

What's wrong? Do you also lose SuperSu (not TWRP) from time to time?
