Unfortunately logcat won't work, the only log that could be pulled is last_kmsg IF it's enabled in the kernel.

To get it after the failed boot, boot into TWRP and do:

cat proc/last_kmsg>sdcard/last_kmsg.txt

.

Ok so the three twrps had the same problem they would make a flash (as if pickig up twrp img) then screen would go black (had this problem flashing wrong twrp when i had the galaxy core from boost) i had a twrp for the wrong core prime model number....so idk where to start to give you an idea why but thr problem seems the same....and yeah se android not enforcing on the repack though it does boot into recovery just fine after saying that....Oh and I tripped knox....lmao MuthaF knox!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Can you try and boot to twrp then reboot and using adb do:

adb pull cache/recovery/last_log

.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Doctur:
Will do be back asap

Update ...put in exact line for pull and i get error remotr object <path> does nkt exist....do i have to specify kmsg log?? Or is there a more specific command i can enter?? Thanks Ashyx your time is truly valued.

Since twrp isnt working im assuming i cant pull sed recovery log?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Which line last_kmsg?

If using adb you first need to do:

adb shell

Then run the command.

Or you can use a terminal emulator.

For recovery log it needs to be done with adb.

adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log

I would copy and paste.

By the way you need to run the commands from the same folder as the adb binary.

Ensure your device is detected by adb by running:

adb devices

It should return a serial number.

TWRP + Galaxy core from boost = frustrating nogood super unfun bad time :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Ok. Different tack until Samsung can be bothered to get off their behinds and release the source code.

This is a prerooted system image and patched boot.

Hopefully if I've set the permissions correctly so root should work, however it was late and I was tired when I compiled the image.

Install with ODIN.

Update !!!

File completely bricked my device, I was prepared but didn't flash all the Odin files to revert back to stock right away...skipping the csc was a no go...thoight it's mess my data up being sprint and not boost csc but I eventually had no choice. Anyone else that needs stock firmware pm me and we can work something out.

Guess it's back to the ole drawing board Ashyx?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
The system image flashed OK, but didn't boot? Heck what is it with this device?

What actually happened?

TWRP with source built kernel compiling as we speak.

[MENTION=7889959]Doctur[/MENTION]

OK, this one hopefully should boot as its using a source built kernel. Samsung contacted me today informing me it was being released. Kudos to Samsung except for the fact it had a million compiling errors I had to fix. Typical Samsung stuff...tsk

There's also something odd about this device. It has 64bit architecture, but Samsung have chosen to run it in 32bit mode. Why Samsung?

Originally I compiled TWRP with 64bit platform flags, but I have now compiled for a 32bit platform.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120715171

By the way I noticed there was quite a few downloads of the rooted system image. If anyone bricked with it, give me a shout I have the stock firmware.

Also everyone on the first boot u want to leave it read only system ...Then flash Ashyx's no disable-no- verity.zip ....Then your SuperSU ....I flashed 2.74 first didn't do me thing then I flashed 2.79 and it worked flawlessly....Good luck everyone.

Also for some reason the /data does not mount and it says storage failed to mount /data could not mount....I'll try and get u a log of the problem ...brb my

I also have a decrypt.zip to be flashed in TWRP III for the no-verity-disable.zip doesn't do that.....So if you see this Ashyx let me know if I need to flash this as well to get rid of the TWRP not picking up the internal storage. Failing to mount /data.

No it failed the flash when I did it on the prerooted IMG .

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:

(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)

1. Boot to Twrp

2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.

(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)

3. Check DATA is mountable.

4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)

5. Install boot image patch below.

6. Reboot

Flashed the stock firmware, got WIFI back. Root method works perfect. Many thanks!

I read the forum link that you posted front to back and didn't see anything about GSM unlock. Was hoping maybe I could use this phone with T-Mobile for a few months till Note 8. I just switched and right now I'm using my Sprint S5. Problem with that is that I only have 3G. I tried flashing the LTE Bands, but even though that seemed to work it doesn't connect to the LTE bands. (now I'm rambling) Anyways the J3 seems to already have the correct bands programmed so I was just hoping GSM unlock was there.

I'm working on this as we speak. Its trial and error process as we do not have TWRP available for this device. However, the SM-320YZ has TWRP available. The significance? Same chipset as the Verizon variant. If it works then it will save me the trouble of compiling TWRP for the SM-320V and SM-J320VPP. I'll post on XDA if I am successful. If you want to give it a shot, read through the threads for rooting the variants of the J3. Grab the stock firmware for your device in case you need it.
