All good - The phone is now rooted and SuperSU installed (I haven't tried the Xposed installer yet, but will do tomorrow as off to bed now.

Many thanks for the advise & links... I'm sure there's a lot of people that it will help!

For anyone else wanting to try this, the basic info is broken down below:

Basically, download TWRP & SuperSU from these links & flash using Odin:

TWRP*http://www.mediafire.com/download/bl...-J320F.tar.tar

root file*http://www.mediafire.com/download/cp...0630161323.zip

The TWRP will be in Russian, but if you click on the right-hand side grey box then you can change to English.

First thing to do is run a Nandroid back-up and once completed copy the SuperSU file to the phone/Ext SD card and flash this (I flashed it twice, as the first attempt just made the phone constantty reboot after the logo.

Next you can flash thexPosed Lollipop 5.11 from here :* the framework for xposed lollipop 5.1.1*http://www.mediafire.com/download/hx...m-20151217.zip

You're welcome!

No joy with the Xposed installer - It will flash fine in TWRP and then run through the usual Android Optimising Applications, but not actually appear on the phone itself once booted.

Also, SuperSU seems tempremental, and needs to be re-flashed after a while - A root checker reports that the device is rooted, but SuperSU is not installed, and after a while BusyBox and Titanium Back up will stop working

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ns.macd:
I have flashed SuperSU using TWRP, and when prompted (after it has finished) I get the message that the device is not rooted, and if I want to install SuperSU - I click 'No' and reboot and it will run through the Android Optimising Apps screen and once booted, the SuperSU will work for a short time (I have managed to run a Titanium Back-Up of the full system with no issues), but after a while it will fail and need SuperSU re-flashing
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Sparko612:
first install this xposed apk http://www.mediafire.com/download/4siuv687psejdbk/XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk

next reboot into TWRP and flash this framework and reboot system http://www.mediafire.com/download/h...-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151217.zip

then open xposed app and select framework and it should be active any more trouble feel free to ask

but because you already installed framework just install xposed apk and reboot ok hope this goes well for you

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

after you install and get supersu update it through playstore and update binaries and that should fix your problem , worked for me let me know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ns.macd:
Xposed works fine with the APK file, until the root fails and SuperSU needs re-flashing

I updated SuperSU from PlayStore already, and then tried to update the binaries, which failed and asked to reboot and try again, which I did and this also failed.

I then re-flashed the SuperSU and it started working again, until the binary update prompt, where it failed, rebooted and then got stuck in a boot-loop.

The phone is now soft-bricked, so I will recover it from the Nandroid back-up when I get home later.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Sparko612:
Mabey try a fresh flash and reinstall recover and root it or just try to reroot from your nandrold backup image, don't know a how lot about this I just found the links and information and passing it on to help anyone who wants to root this device hopefully someone might find a fix for this but at least root is possible now
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ns.macd:
After a full wipe and re-flash the phone is back up and running. The root still gets lost occasionally, but a reboot of the phone brings it back up and running, but the binary updates still fail - Good enough for now! :D
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Sparko612:
Have you tried looking for a another supersu version and flash it for root instead ?? It might work

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

I don't understand it tried the same supersu file and still got full root, did you allow oem unlock before flashing recovery because if not then that might be the issue
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ns.macd:
I had the OEM unlocked (in developer options) and also tried flashing 2 different (older) SuperSU .zip files, after which the phone got stuck in a boot-loop, so I will stick with this version for now!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Sparko612:
If anyone wants to know how to get back bootup and shutdown sound back on thier rooted j320fn here it is.

Download root explorer

Navigate to system/media/

Copy bootsound.mp3 and shutdownsound.mp3

Paste to system/media/audio/ui/

Rename PowerOn.gg to PowerOn.ogg.bak

Rename bootsound.mp3 to PowerOn.gg

Rename shutdownsound.mp3 to PowerOff.ogg

Restart device and you will have sound back for boot and poweroff.

No need to change permissions as they are already set

I did this methored and my phone is stuck in a boot loop?, How can i afix this?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Sparko612:
First make sure you have made a backup of your stock rom then you can just restore to fix this by using hw buttons home , vol up then power and when logo appears release all buttons and you will be back into recovery then you can just restore if you have problems entering recovery then you can just reflash stock through odin juat bare in mind after flashing stock you might get a bootloop which is easily fixed by entering recovery then factory wipe . Hope this helps you and if you need any other help let me know

[MENTION=7806026]Minerspark[/MENTION]: You have flashed an old kernel not compatible with your system, after restoration you need to use the twrp recovery if you want to be root on the latest rom ;)

[MENTION=7713641]Sparko612[/MENTION]: It's not easy to build a cm13 with our model.

For qualcomm it's not too hard because all exists but for a spreadtrum you need to create many things :x

If I'm not too bad we will get a 'bootable' cm13 in a few time.

Me on my sm-j320fn I build my recovery, I share it here => http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69014439&postcount=38

It works fine for me and some frenchs guys on an other board.

My english is not good but to install is very simple, it's always the same method:

* Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons while your device reboots.

Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.

* Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot and disable Auto-Reboot, then press [Start].

* Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode and immediately swap to [Volume Up] when the screen is black.

If you don't see then TWRP boot splash try again ^^

After all is explain on the device and for the root flash supersu 2.78 twrp zip file => http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] seb.trucmuch:
Worked for me, and it didn't even wipe the apps & datas already installed !

Just a tip :

- first of all, I checked the OEM unlock in the developers menu

- after sending the TWRP tar with Odin, when the progressbar is full on the phone, shutdown the phone

- hold [Volume Up] + [Home] + [Power] to access to the recovery and flash supersu.

Sorry for my english, I'm french too ;)

Device Status: Official

Which it is the best method, the safest and most stable for to root my smartphone?

I have not to do modding, but only move applications to the SD card, uninstall some applications already on my smartphone for which the root is required.

I will not change anything, just access to the root.

There is the possibility of having access to the root and also receive automatic updates as a new store smartphone?

1.- Flashing you recovery first, and then flash supersu ok?

From my bootloader log file:

SuperSu => http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

Edit: It's the only way because you need to patch the kernel to disable selinux.

Link2sd

was able to root my J320FN using the info here so thank you very much for that :)

Going a little off topic now, is it possible to use link2sd on this phone? Reason I'm asking is I have been hammering away at this for over a week now and no matter what I try I cannot get link2sd to work. When I partition my sd card into 1 x fat 32 and 1 x ext2 (or 4 or 3) when I choose the ext 2 in link2sd i get the mount script error. I am rooted (verfied with the root checker) I have the init.d folder so I think I have init.d support and I have created a file in the init.d folder that sets my selinuxmode to permissive on boot and this seems to be working as I get a message once the phone loads that permissive mode is set.

No matter what I try I cant seem to get link2sd to work, I'm tearing my hair out :( has anyone got link2sd working on this phone. I'm running the stock rom as there doesnt seem to be a custom rom available for this phone yet.

Any help would be really appreciated :)

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] incheye:
I have gave up on this to be honest, I took up way too much of my time. If someone develops a custom rom for the J320fn then I'll maybe give it another bash but I think the issue is with the stock rom. Not unless someone else can say they have successfully installed link2sd on the j320fn

if you get any joy let me know please bro :)

Q: My last Samsung, i regret i buy this phone. Why USA get Android 6.0 and EU Android 5.1 and they don't even upgrade this?

A: There'are two versions of this phone :the one with exynos and the one with spreadtrum . The second one didn't get updated drivers beacuse spreadtrum . An forced update will turn the device into a brick 😕. So in conclusion we won't get an 6.0.1 update nor nougat update.

Is this statement true? Should I give up hoping my SG J3 2016 will ever have at least Marshmallow? I'm from Eastern Europe and my phone is with Spreadtrum.
