[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] FnFin419:
I apologize. My mistake. I began at the beginning and re-read everything word for word. I followed the instructions word for word. Im not sure where I went wrong, maybe because I was using ODIN 3.12.3, instead of ODIN 3.10.7? In any case, like I said, I followed the directions and sure enough I am indeed rooted. Thanks for all the contributions AND questions from EVERYONE.....you can skip the next paragraph if you want.

I have a new user name but my old user name is taco8717. I have been a member of xda scince 2007. My first device was a HTC Touch Vogue, Diamond, Pro and all time favorite phone of all time... the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. (I still have one that sort of functions and multiple parts. I also own a HTC HD2 Leo reknown for being one of the most versatile phones ever made boasting the ability to multi-boot 7 different operating systems.

I have always held XDA-developers (and the former glory PPCGeeks.com) in very high regard as a close knit, well-organized, selfless community from around the world(not to mention I truely believe this is one of the most functional forums Ive ever visted). People dedicate time, money, effort and resources for no other reason except to help someone with their... "cell phone"? Dont get me wrong our smartphones true value is essentially endless, but would you stop someone one the street and say "Hey you have the same phone as me, I'll give 50 bucks a case of beer and 3 months of ny own time and effort for you to write a computer script-code to bypass electronic security software? Errrrr... Noooo?

I dont post much because have a family and Im from the hood and I dont have that much money to donate but usually 9 out of ten times I read other peoples converstions and helpful chime-ins and I can find the answer Im looking for and I press the thanks button (which is so easy for anyone who doesnt) and Usually that small token of appreciation is enough to make it worth it for an awesome forum such as this to continue.

Soooo, Im not sure if maybe I took it the wrong way or maybe text doesnt do much justice for expression but....If it werent for questions(including yours) including simple questions like can you post a file or post a screenshot, well as more difficult qusetions like can you(dont quote me Im trying to sound smart) take a debug log file report and upload a system dump or build a rom from scratch for some cheap generic foreign device with just a jumble of letters and numbers for a name using only a paperclip and orange peel.

I could honestly do without your sarcasm. If I newbie or a new member to this site and that was my first post Id be totally turned of from this site. Im dumb or incompotent. I just asked a question cuz my daughters are asleep and my wife is at work and its not usually this quiet and I was bored. Dude, really? I can talk to my google from the next room over and it'll gimme the answer im looking for so I dont actually even need your help. Next time you wanna start threads and upload files or whatever, for what seems like credit and recognition instead of helping some single, 2 minimum wage jobs mom with 11 kids that doesnt have time to "LURK" pages and pages of threads just so they can install more than three apps on the phone........you can either:

A) Come to your senses and realized that this great forum and community was built by regular people asking each other qustions and helping to build of of the greatest collective knowledge-base on tele-communcative electronic software and devices.

or

B) You can shove shove it.
