Use Heimdall to flash the recovery image.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Ekanar:
Thank you again for your work ashyx. Bootlooped on first flash pass, reflashed (dirty) via Odin3 3.12.10, also flashed no-verity-no-encryption lastly on both passes. My J700T is working fine. So I have TWRP, J700TUVU3BQK3 firmware(stock), rooted with systemless Magisk 14.0/5.4.3 which passes SafetyNet checks, and debloated. I've left it odexed for now for the slight performance bump but perhaps not, I think I'll teach myself to theme TWRP before learning to port recoveries then ROMs. Again. Thanks!

Rushed, I'll insert hypertext links soon, honey-do list has "Hang Holiday lights" or sleep with the dog....

If you are already rooted, you could use FlashFire by chainfire. Download it free on Google play.

Does anyone have the link for the Xposed for this device on Nougat. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
Xposed thread.if u are stock 7.1.1 flash sdk 88.1 /25

Magisk one works better.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] insane209:
Will this one work as well?

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=229667
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
Not if u are stock 7.1.1 nougat. If u are on a custom 7.0 then yes
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] insane209:
I wanna use it on one of the new roms that are out for this device like the ZenOS and so on etc...those are for 7.0 right or do they work for 7.1.1 as well? Trying to clear the air so I wont bootloop lol
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
I understand believe me..

If u are using a 7.0 rom use the sdk for that version. Sdk25 is only for 7.1.1. the one u linked to me is fine for zen revolution and any other 7.0 ROM. Only use sdk 25 for our stock rom or my optimized stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] imbossymarie:
Does this version still work for 7.1.1?

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
So I am planning to hang on to this phone as long as possible despite my carrier texting me about phone deals to upgrade. Seems that i am the only one left with this phone that remains unrooted... Maybe lol. I downloaded the files and read the instructions, i really want to root but what about Google? I noticed that Google is getting tough on users that have rooted their devices. I could care less about wells fargo pay and many others like it. So what exactly happens when your device is uncertified?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
U do know once u reflash stock, no one knows u were rooted right?

To root: Just flash magisk and tada. rooted. And flash encryption breaker zip after.

Google may hunt you down though.id be careful.;)
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Update: Root went without a hitch on the first try. However, I am soon finding out that magisk may have some compatibility issues with some of the apps. Some apps don't trigger magisk while others do. Some were made with SuperSU in mind. Not a good idea to have both right?

Helium backup is one example. Magisk does not trigger when checking for root.

Got it

About to flash

And that was a good one ha.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
What ROM u running? Works with all but air command. And don't use those backup apps, they're garbage man.. Samsung cloud works better than anything. Or better yet just use nandroids in twrp. Yes don't have both magisk and SuperSU. But using SuperSU is like driving a car from 1941 and u have a perfectly good 2018 in the driveway.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Still stock, after trying to figure out how google backup and restore works and for the life of me still can't get it to backup what I want, and only for it to restore things you don't care for, and not everything else. Google backup is a joke[emoji107][emoji107] Never bothered to use any other online backup services since then lol.

This is one area Apple gets right according to Apple users.

I figured SuperSU is outdated so won't even bother I suppose i can give samsung a try, just not a fan of the cloud thing, not to mention, have a 128gb microsd card. So there is that lol.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
So I would just make nandroids. With each ROM, if they are similarly based, u can restore just data with each ROM.samsung saves a your settings and everything cuz TouchWiz is there launcher. And dude u are missing out with stock. I have about ten ROMs I never released if u want them. The best one is the Genesis port. Complete with edge screen and best battery ever 3-5 hrs screen on time. Make a twrp nandroidbackup, backup system, data, and boot. Then put what ROM u wanna flash on your external SD card along with magisk zip, and the no verity encryption breaker zip, boot then back to recovery and wipe system, data, cache,dalvik,.. everything except for internal storage and extrrnal. Flash ROM, magisk, no verity reboot. Then if u made a Samsung backup before making the nandroid, sign in and restore your apps and settings. Bam u have a better ROM and battery with all your stuff. Hope it helps

Oh yeah and google backup only truly works for Nexus or pixel fyi
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Lol. I was just seeing if there were custom roms for this phone. I thought it was just root and that's it. Oh and that was the first thing I did, backed up the Rom and boot before the patch, also the modem and efs partitions as well, especially the efs, which is the second critical thing to backup. Heard horrible stories of people corrupting their efs without a backup. Lose efs and you have turned your phone into a multimedia toy, Just how unique is efs? Lol.

Also, keep getting an error that I do not have permission to post using tapatalk. I have to keep signing out and back in couple of times and then it will post.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
Dude there is an entire thread. The J700T and T1 are the same. Yes always backup your efs.i forgot about that haven't had the j7 for a while. No idea what tap a talk is. I use xda app
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Rooting has definitely brought more life to this phone that's for sure. I'll check out the custom roms in a bit, for now, just seeing the settings that twrp has to offer. I see that it support of installing images, images like official odin tars? Oh and you no longer have the J7? Moved on to better phones huh.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
No only images like if u make a backup system image. U can flash it. U can flash the backup efs, it's backupped as an image. The kernel aka is boot image. Be careful twrp is notorious for corrupting data. Use it as little as possible. Familiarize yourself with a root explorer. I recommend mixplorer. Search here on xda. I have the j7, I just got a Nexus a few months ago. The Nexus 6. Next up the one plus 6.. only thing u can use to flash Tars is mobile Odin aka flashfire. U don't need it unless u don't use Odin on PC.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Actually it says that it can flash factory images according to what it says on page one, but that is one huge file for twrp to flash all at once.

And secondly, if the recovery gets flashed, no more twrp once the phone is rebooted as that image will revert back to stock. If the goal was to flash images without a pc, then you can only do it once. After that, you would need your pc to flash twrp again. how funny lol. It also says that you can select a partition.

But still, like you say, it is risky, something i would never use, nandroids is good enough.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
U cannot flash factory images on there I promise you. U can adb sideload via twrp usually, but on non Samsung devices. With Samsung u have to use flashfire or Odin. That is all. You should probably start reading every page of most important threads in the j700T threads man. It would benefit u to learn about this specific device. Myself and Mr duck were the only developers for a very long time. Before that it was myself and two other veteran developers. Duck and I know more about it than anyone. Trust what I say man. Read and u too can learn.. not being mean just trying to give u good advice to help u grow. We have been working with this phone 2+ years. Please use the threads and use the search option for specific information. It's all been done already and been asked. Look within this forum see attached. Click that section.. I stopped development on the j7 bc it wasn't relevant to anyone any longer and the people who use this device kept refusing to learn how xda works and wouldn't use the thanks for anything that helps and xda is a resource not a one way street. So please do the community a favor and learn and educate yourself so u do not Brick your phone. U have a lot of misconceptions about information already out there. Study up bud and be enlightened.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
I was just reading what it was saying on page one, but yes, as far as samsung phones goes. Odin has been the only way to flash and I wouldn't think otherwise. I was just questioning the info on that page.

Was not questioning you, am aware you worked on this phone. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
No prob man, no offense taken. Feel free to ask if u need any help.im around
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
You are correct, it is a feature I have included.

Factory images can be flashed as long as they are extracted from tar package first.

All images must have an .img extension.

There is also no reason why TWRP could not flash .tar packages directly if TW included support.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
Whoa. I didn't know that. I thought this twrp was img or zip. See u do learn something new everyday.

Says its TWRP 3.1.1-1, however dl link is TWRP 3.1.1-0???
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] bromerrill:
Ok so I am back to this thread after many months and a new problem: So I have the SM-J700t and was having a long run with the AQF1 stock rom and being rooted. Then I used Odin 3.11.1 to flash a file - Odin ROM Img MD5 to reset to stock - recovery.tar.md5 19,541kb thinking I could remove the root perhaps to do an OTA update which I could not do being rooted. Nothing seemed to change after that so I then used smart switch to download and install the Nougat firmware. The install seemed to go ok and the ROM was usable on the device, however the phone still reported itself rooted after the install. But what I wanted to do was reinstall TWRP so I could back up the phone like I did with TWRP before on the same phone. So I used Odin to flash the mina odin-permissive-kernel-j700t-t1 after turning on OEM unlock and USB debugging. Seemed to flash ok. Then I flashed a TWRP file: odintwrp-3.0.2-0-j700t which Odin 3.11.1 did not seem to recognize. So I switched to Odin3 v1.85 and flashed the TWRP file twrp-3.0.2-0-j7elte.img. It seemed to flash ok and I booted into TWRP successfully. At that point I attempted to do a full backup but got lots of errors about compatibility of things and the backup failed. So I figured I had to try a different TWRP so I again used Odin ROM Img MD5 to reset to stock - recovery.tar.md5 19,541kb file to prepare to reflash another TWRP file but I had no joy. The subsequent TWRP flash failed and things went downhill. I decided to try to use smart switch to again install the Nougat rom but now the SS will not recognize the phone: I cannot connect properly because the J700T driver fails to install and the SS says my phone is not a supported model. Kies says the same thing and they won't let me do a "firmware upgrade and initialisation". Neither SS or Kies are connecting due to the inability to install the phone driver. I then booted as if to go into TWRP with home-vol up-power, but now it seems that the stock android robot is there with the customary stock software options. So I thought I could do a factory wipe and reset using that option. I tried it and it seemed to work without any error but then I cannot boot up the phone. I can briefly launch the boot screen but it shuts down and nothing happens. So now I can get into download mode on the phone but can't connect to Odin or SS, and I can get into the Android robot interface where I could do the factory reset, but can't boot into the phone, but I just plugged the phone in again with Odin 3.11 launched and Odin sees the phone as a Galaxy J7, not a MPT device as before and the driver for the phone will not install. It still shows present in Odin, but may disconnect and I need some help here as to how to proceed. I have downloaded the BQI5 Nougat ROM as a zip file. Would it be possible to try to flash it (it's quite big) rather than so some other work around first? Thanks to all
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
Too much being done wrong here. Dont ever use kies or smartswitch they are garbage. Utilize the thread search feature and u will.find the proper way to reflash stock and start over. U cannot make backups until u format (type yes) and flash the encryption break zip. Aka no verity. Nonetheless. U need the extracted latest firmware, then load it into Odin and flash it while wiping the nand partition. Then let it boot up till setup. Then go back to download mode and flash twrp. Use the new updated one from a few months ago, boot up into twrp then go to format, type yes, then flash the root zip of choice, I recommend magisk, then the encryption break zip, reboot. After flashing anything u have to flash the encryption break zip after. So now u are stock rooted. The J700t thread has about 30 nougat roms u can flash.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] xDark_:
For anyone having issues mounting data, be sure after wiping internal storage, don't reboot. Just head back into TWRP and remount data. Spent like half an hour trying to figure that part out, lol. Hope that helped someone else out.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] bromerrill:
Thank you kindly for your reply. I am not sure I understand all of what you are saying. Of course "reflash stock and start over" is the goal. So I have downloaded two roms in zip files, the older 3AQF1 and the Nougat 3BQI5. It would be wonderful if I could simply flash one of these successfully. However I am not clear on what tool to use. I assume Odin, but then which version? What other preparation is needed before I try the full rom flash?

Quote: "U cannot make backups until u format (type yes) and flash the encryption break zip, aka No Verity"--Precisely where is this "yes" going to be located- I assume it appears while flashing the encryption break zip somewhere, assuming this is in TWRP, since Odin does not require a "yes". I have the "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx" file but it is from 2016, so will look for an update.

Quote: "flash it while wiping the nand partition"--So this is not quite clear to me; I can try flashing the extracted firmware but as to wiping the nand partition is that the option found in Odin?

Quote " let it boot up till setup"--Does this mean that the phone is fully functional and ready to be set up for use?

Quote "go back to download mode and flash twrp" the new updated one --Could you point me to the proper file name to look for? (elte?)

Quote " boot up into twrp then go to format, type yes, then flash the root zip of choice, I recommend magisk"; Twrp has a slider which you slide to enable modifications but do you mean a further selection which is default where you type "yes"?

Anyway I will await your reply to avoid further problems as much as possible. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] DroidJP:
Question. Does twrp also makes a backup of the 2nd partition created on the external sd card or sdext2 when backing up data? or does it treat it as another internal sdcard and skips it. I created a 2nd 10gb ext4 partition on the external card. Luckily found a partitioning tool that supports of resizing of exfat filesystem. As it stands, exfat does not officially support resizing by many third party tools.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] bromerrill:
I think if you don't get the exact sequence of events right there will be problems like not being able to write the stock rom in Odin perhaps because of the E: failed to find "cache" partition error, which NO ONE seems to know how to fix and which in Odin I cannot address by a repartition because on all the stock rom flashes I tried the flash stops almost immediately with repartition selected. It should be so simple. Like flash a good TWRP, right , but l did that and booted into TWRP and tried to do a backup, which got borked due to the encryption problem. So I flashed messi's kernel to go back to stock- wrong- all downhill from there. And if someone would be so kind to point out what steps are good to take from there-ha! Also steps to COMPLETELY wipe the phone. After finally flashing 2 OEM firmwares I stilll have the /cache partition error. And I have been reading the threads for a long time. Also having problems getting adb to function apparently due to problematic phone drivers (device unathorized after "adb devices") And so it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
Pretty much all pilot error it seems and please format your posts correctly, they are highly illegible and terrible to read. One big block of text gives me a headache :rolleyes:

To fix /cache go into the advanced wipe options then FORMAT /cache to EXT2 then back to EXT4.

Encryption needs the /data partition FORMATTED using the FORMAT DATA button to remove encryption (as is advised in the OP of this TWRP thread)

For ADB ensure MTP is not enabled in TWRP. If in doubt revoke authorisation and reenable USB debugging (which shouldn't be required in TWRP anyway)
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :
U are using incorrect incomplete firmware. Its missing the cache if u use the firmware from angry man..use the updato app aka updates for android, download firmware, extract and flash with Odin. Then once it boots up to where u select language, boot to download mode, flash latest ashy x twrp. Then soon as u see pass, manually boot into twrp. Then it wil stick. Then format the whole phone. Format-type yes. Then flash magisk and encryption break zip and reboot. Then after flashing anything flash encryption break zip.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] bromerrill:
Sorry I missed this good post while I was writing another and busy, etc. However, I have downloaded official firmwares and perhaps they got corrupted in download- I am getting different MD5 hashes from those stated on the dl screen. Nonetheless I am now all official on the latest stock Nougat. So now can I not just boot to download and flash twrp, etc? I had several questions in my last post so if you would be so kind as to read that and see if the questions are germane. Some have not been answered and seem important to me. Thanks again

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

How thoughtful is your reply to my post. I do spend time revising my post so as to avoid the incomplete and confusing references people use, expecting you to be savvy with all their lingo, but I see I will need to make the text more edible. :p Thanks for the heads up.

Quote: [To fix /cache go into the advanced wipe options then FORMAT /cache to EXT2 then back to EXT4.] So is this a reference to fixing the can't find /misc partition error? I am not clear on what /cache needs fixing or why. Also, I am not yet TWRP and rooted.

I am about to try flashing TWRP in Odin again. But wonder if I should do another stock Nougat firmware flash with nand erase selected or will the format of EXT2 take care of that? Have read pros and cons, and muddy reports on the result.

I have enjoyed a long run on MM with this phone and the excellent results of using your no-verity-no-encrypt file. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
In your previous post you stated you had an issue with /cache, but now you say its /misc?

If so then ignore it, it's not an issue. It's common on Samsung devices in stock recovery as most do not have a /misc partition.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] bromerrill:
Good,l that /misc partition issue is settled. Thanks. So finally should I do the nand erase or repartition in Odin flashing a good Nougat ROM since the phone is completely official now? Thanks
