No, just flash the latest TWRP in Odin, u cannot flash ROMs in Odin. Then boot manually into recovery as I instructed and then go to wipe, format, then type yes to format. Then flash magisk for root, then encryption break zip, reboot. Now u are stock rooted. Then to flash a room, wipe all but internal and external then flash the rom and magisk then encryption break zip every time.make backups on external sd card. I used a 32 gb one to keep all my backups. I don't believe u can restore your marshmallow backup cuz u didn't update to nougat originally ota.

Help.

Hey everyone,

I know this has probably been answered a lot but im seriously new to android and I've been looking all day for the right information about how to root my j700t1 and ended up here with very little idea of what to do, If anyone could pm me or break it down a little bit more for me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
Install TWRP. Flash magisk and encryption break zip.= Rooted
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] xDark_:
For me, I couldn't flash no verity because I couldn't mount storage. Would give me an error when I tried flashing it. Wiping internal then hitting the back button to go back into TWRP, and only then was I able to mount data and successfully flash Magisk then no verity.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
It's because u didn't format(type yes) after first boot into TWRP. Once u format(type yes) u flash the no verity zip. That zip breaks encryption and allows internal mounting. It's all in the OP. Hence why flashing ANYTHING u flash no verity (aka encryption break zip) afterwards. ALWAYS. If u do not u won't be able to make nandroids. This has been in the way for almost 3 years.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] xDark_:
AFAIK it was formatted (I was helping a friend do this over Telegram), but data just wouldn't mount.

I used this tutorial (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/galaxy-j7-2016-sm-j700t-t1-how-to-root-t3696306) and after step 7, switched to the steps listed in this thread.

Anyways, he's got working root now he should be fine.

Forgot to partion my j7, now its stuck and wont boot/ load even in safe mode, any fix for this

Says frp is locked
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GigVodka:
Having an issues ,cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Odin, pass installing twrp,

Boot to twrp,

Format data, yes

Install patch,.

Reboot to twrp, check data is mountable.

Setup phone, power off and stuck , wont load, says"Custom binary blocked by FRP LOCK" ?

Really need help asap
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
Maybe not reading the instructions is the issue. :rolleyes:

Clearly posted in the OP:
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GigVodka:
I tried that still does not work, once I power off it says CUSTOM BINARY FRP LOCKED
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
You did not switch oem unlock in the developer options first. You going to have to flash the official firmware from sammobile or updato and start all over. You must oem unlock first before flashing a custom recovery. To enable developer options, tap the build number 5 times in about phone. It's in the instructions already.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] GigVodka:
Tried that still did not work.

Reloaded firmware via sammoblie, tried 2 or 3 different ones and the 2 versions of twrp to match, as soon as I set up the j7 with my gmail it gets locked on the restart with the " custom binary FRP LOCKED

Willing to ship and pay for someone to fix this, just trying to play a game with my son
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Is this the gmail login screen? I am a bit confused. The method mentioned removes frp custom binary lock as it is flashing the original firmware unless you factory reset without logging out of your gmail account and frp gmail verification has been triggered. In that case, you will need to put in the gmail previously used. All i can say that gmail verification is very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
If you're not prepared to follow the advice as given and enable OEM UNLOCK then you may as well forget any idea regarding rooting or any other modifications.

Enabling OEM UNLOCK is a MUST.

The advice to flash the stock firmware does NOT remove OEM UNLOCK it simply puts your device back to stock so FRP Lock isn't active.

Follow the guide below to disable FRP LOCK.

Hi,

I just tried flashing it on my metropcs J700T1 and twrp is working but when I try to flash root using twrp. Even tho it says that everything is ok. It booted up. SuperSU is there but when I check root. It says it is not rooted. Any idea what I could have done wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Metabolic12:
Did you break encryption on your phone? If you can't mount data in TWRP then the Supersu zips won't be able to access their vulnerability.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] pbear:
Yes. Its broken, I can mount data with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Metabolic12:
What version are you trying to flash and is it a full system root or system-less?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] pbear:
I tried SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip and I am doing systemless. At least thats what I see.

I also tried using UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip from messi's tread as well.

I tried using Root metro pcs galaxy j7 ms-j700t1--2016 tread before trying this. I was able to root it but it wasn't stable. So I had to put it back in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Metabolic12:
Hm very strange. Try reflashing your kernel (boot.img) then flash Supersu V2.79 (stable) then flash ash's encryption breaker.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] pbear:
Thanks!!! you are a lifesaver. I needed root to restore something very important from my titanium backup.. I've been working on this for the last 7 hours. Not sure how come it didn't work for me. I am assuming that when I restored my stock. Something I did caused it to not work. but Redoing boot.img by itself from twrp and doing supersu and ashy's encryption breaker right after is working for me

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Metabolic12:
Good deal. For some reason if you use the encryption break, you have to reflash your kernel to obtain root. Glad I could help.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
No you don't need to reflash the kernel, this will re-encrypt the device.

Formatting wipes the data partition. The systemless su files are stored on the data partition. If you wipe it you lose root.

If you follow the instructions as posted there wont be an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] pbear:
well.. I followed the instructions exactly as stated. so I dunno what happen. But it is fixed when I reflashed the original kernel but I tested another phone and found that if I flash the kernel and rebooted the phone. I have to wipe the data before I can use it again. But if I flash the kernel and flash supersu and encryption break right after flashing the kernel. I didn't need to wipe data again. This is only if for some reason I lost root which I still dunno how I lost root in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Metabolic12:
In my experience, after flashing your encryption break I've had a couple of updater scripts fail through TWRP (both versions). They flash just fine, but upon reboot the updates are not applied. It's not a big deal honestly man, I was just trying to give someone a hand.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] imakul8:
Thank you for this ashyx. I just got the phone 2 days ago and had been in the old thread and could never get internal storage to mount in TWRP. Finally I can move on and enjoy the phone.

I was stuck at the Samsung screen and couldnt get past it. I installed your TWRP and then installed all the images I had and it sees to be working again. I couldnt install the factory image with Odin due to an MD5 error. Thanks a ton. Ill try playing with it some more this week since I know I can restore it now.

TWRP or FlashFire version of this? Linux master race :/
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Metabolic12:
Either one. If you want to use TWRP to flash just make sure you extract the downloaded zip to get the .img file. If you use flashfire you can just flash the downloaded zip file.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] k1ll1nt1m3:
Thanks again.

I went in with adb (i only use tumbleweed and im sorry but my sdk is way outdated) so i did a dd of everything after I used it root for a week. I remounted /system with rw and i still can not uninstall the amsung or g-mobile apks. I get a "failed to delete" error every time. I was able to rename the folders that hold those apks but the apps are still there. Im guessing from a preload (last phone i messed with was an S4). I did a lot of stuff and I no longer have the warning from Smart Manager though. Im not sure what did it exactly. I have text of "mount" and a few other commands if that would help. I still would like to get a stripped ROM and load the simple google apps, if possible. If I can help in any way just PM me. (I dont run windows though). I tried to mount the boot image in loop and something went wrong. It filled over 30GB of drive space. I have my OS back up now so I am still trying to clean up my OS and figure out what i messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
If you want to remove system apk's you need root. You can remove apks using system app remover (root) from play store.

Why are you trying to mount the boot image? You only need to unpack it.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] k1ll1nt1m3:
I copied everything with dd so I can just restore a whole partition if needed. I wanted to mount the dd image on loop0 because i dont know of any other way to look at the files in the image without restoring the whole image to an empty drive. I have never heard of "unpacking" a dd image. Its not a compressed file. I didnt pipe dd to gzip or anything. Thats not exactly true, I did gzip and split mmcblk0p22 into 2000m files so it would work with the fat32 file system on the sdcard since it was over 6GB worth of space.

I do have root. Why would i install an app when i can just go in with adb shell and use pm to remove apps? The only thing I havent done was wipe /data, so my TWRP still can not mount /data at this time. I figure i will do that this weekend since this is a work phone and I would hate to be stuck in a loop or something crazy on a weekday.

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Update: looks like it's fixed now. Though, i had to odin flash stock and redo the steps. Magisk would not install even after data wipe in twrp. Odin flash fixed it and Safteynet now passes and root again. That was strange though lol.

Interesting issue that just happened. Magisk mysteriously disappeared and when i installed it manually, it no longer passes safetynet

Cannot get to installed TWRP recovery

SM-J700T 7.1.1 TWRP seems to have installed properly from ODIN but no matter how I try to get to TWRP recovery (via the 3-finger salute OR rebooting via adb reboot recovery) I end up at the stock Android recovery screen.

I still have to install SU or Magisk in order to try other ROMs or even just do a full backup of the configuration I already like, right?

Thanks, all

Anyone got an 3.3 TWRP That's not SEnforcing on Flash ?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Hey hey owners of the SM-J700T1!

I am still rockin' with the j700t1 phone and will still be rockin' until my next phone is unlockable and root achieved, I wonder how many of us is still left rockin' with our model.

This is a big big huge thanks to ashyx for the custom recovery for our model, just when most have moved on (sadly, no longer unlockable bootloaders if you happen to live in the U.S) to better new "shiny" phones. I'm still hanging on.

Even replaced the battery lol. This phone is truly a gem for rooting.

With that said, i did notice discrepancies in both versions of twrp in the img flash feature and only discovered it recently when i flashed twrp 3.0

In Imge flash feature

twrp 3.0:

System

Boot

Recovery

Cache

Radio

Twrp 3.1

System

Boot

Recovery

For the life of me i was confused as in the description said cache and radio was included.

I was confused all this time because never bothered with 3.0 up until yesterday, and also the fact i had to use system as cache to extract the csc zip in the cache.img (which is needed if you want lte and metropcs wallpapers) lol.

Got to the mystery (at last) and no longer confused (well not up until when i unpacked recovery to look at the fstab file lol)

I see it in fstab but i don't see the missing partitions in recovery. I did manage to add sdext2 and now shows in recovery and works flawlessly. No more third party apps to format sdext2 of the micro-sdcard (yay lol)

But anyways, how do i add cache partition in the imge flash?

Once again, a big huge thank to you ashyx [emoji106][emoji106][emoji4]
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] El_Diabolical:
I think if you format data.. It should (I mean Should ,as I'm guessing)...CREATE it for you...but that would obviously ERASE whatever is on the current Rom...[emoji848] RIP CACHE
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
This is for the manual image flash feature when you want to install zips/images. cache, radio are not showing in twrp 3.1
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] El_Diabolical:
Oh you mean from ODIN Yeah I was thinking to far ahead...Sorry...Since CACHE is partition related...ODIN does have a Re-partition button when flashing TWRP.img file... That should "repair" it...but I saw a mention about .tar.md5 files from some ODIN Feature guide...so that's what I'm referring too...take a look...Obviously I'm a noob...That just found out how to flash s**t...[emoji848]

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
There is no need to re-partition or odin. The image flash allows you to flash directly withou the need of odin. Cache does shows to mount to browse in just does not show when it comes to select the cache.img to flash cache partition.

In twrp 3.0 the cache shows for image flash. The workaround i have is to flash cache.img in system before flashing system.img because you are going to need the csc.zip to install or your phone will not work properly.

You said you'd tried to mount the boot image not the whole emmc.

Why install an app? Because it's far simpler and works plus it backs up everything that you remove so it can be restored.

Tbh I dont really understand what you're trying to achieve here?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] k1ll1nt1m3:
I am just crazy. I started using Gentoo at 1.4, i think it was 356M at that time. You installed what you wanted. I just think that should be part of Android. If I dont want these programs, I should be able to remove them. Since they are already installed, I now have to remove them myself and I would like to see the logs and all other forms of data. I have never built a ROM yet. I have used ROMs that were stripped down to bare bones. I just would like to read a few files and change a few things to fit me. Isnt that what Linux is about?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] OriginalShinken1:
Yes it is......but Android is a slightly different beast. And you know this.

You have been around awhile. I've seen your handle somewhere here.

It's a work phone, right? Just use the app suggested to get rid of the bloat.

If you really want to dig deep on a device, I suggest getting something a little more supported like a used nexus or moto g4. They're pretty cheap and tend to be more flexible.

One thing I cant seem to fix... Before I reinstalled the system image, my phone had a keyboard with "long press" for special keys. This system.img doesnt use the same keyboard. I kind of liked that and I dont really want to install some other keyboard. I have tried removing SamsungIMEv3_XT9 (had no keyboard then) and tried to install some other Samsung keyboards but they didnt have the "long press" like that OEM one did. Does anyone have that Samsung keyboard apk?

One last question... What other log files should I be watching? I have stripped it down to where I like it, kind of. I check dmesg and logcat, I dont see any problems really, so far.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] jaycomma:
Ahhhh... i'm new to this (well, after 6 years.... i've forgotten all about rooting). I'm seeing that I need to install twrp by flashing thru odin, resetting with those combos, wipe data (bye bye, my files), install supersu, and then install the patch to get root? In that order? (Yes, it was that order) I'm just a bit confused and wish I could have some idiot proof instructions. (I'll make some on this post for when I get back from lunch)

EDIT: DONE! :D Once again, a little reading goes a long way I guess. I'll be sure to donate later today, thank you ashyx. Even though you don't own this device, you are greatly helping those who do. I'll also post a detailed tutorial for super-noobs like me. If I can do it, anyone can.

Though... ashyx, I do have one question. Am I now on a different kernel or even a slightly different ROM than the stock J700T?

Hello, 3 day battery life! :good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] jaycomma:
Huh. So it worked for a few days, and now here's what's going on:

SuperSU still pops up. I grant permission to apps, but the apps never get actual root access. Yesterday everything was working fine, now SuperSU pops up still, and i can click "grant" , but it doesn't do anything.

edit: Got it re-rooted by reflashing the latestSuperSU beta .zip and then reflashing the boot patch. I did not have to delete my internal storage over again. I'm referring to this step:

Rebooted and regranted permission to everything and it's up and running. I honestly wouldn't mind if I had to do this every few days to maintain root. :P

Hey ashyx, thanks for all your hard work! Its the new guy again, but I do have another question.. The PokemonGO app is still not verifying me, but I think it may be my error. Got TWRP installed, SuperSU is flashed, but I have not yet wiped the data in the no verify step...no encryption step. In fact, I haven't done that at all yet. Wanted to ask if that was necessaary to have root and the apps work? I know its probably a stupid question as its not working but I saw Jaycommas post earlier about just reflashing supersu and the boot patch. Which should I do?
