I'm having trouble, I boot into download mode, I've tried loading the .tar file and also the recovery.img itself into the AP slot, Odin repeatedly says

Success 0 Failed 0

Can you help me get it to flash please!?!

Will someone upload a pic of what twrp recovery looks like

For some reason you are modifying the file.

In one shot you have an md5 extension in the other you have a .zip.tar.

Do not change the downloaded file. Load it as is in the AP slot.

Please follow the instructions as posted.

I'll buy you a 6 pack, never mind just a beer, if you can help me root and get TWRP on my SM-J327U.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
As long as it doesn't have a locked bootloader it shouldn't be a problem.

Does it have OEM UNLOCK in developer settings?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] CSMNT:
It does indeed. I'm flashing Chainfire's auto root atm. If I can manage to get it rooted all that's left is TWRP.

Using this guide: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j3-2017/how-to/root-sm-j327u-t3691552

Something is wrong, it should take a mere few seconds to flash both images.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] CSMNT:
It must have been my configuration.

I just forced restart into download mode again and tried flashing auto root with everything set to auto detect and it took like 4 seconds. It didn't work.

I got a "Verification Failed" message and had to reset.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] CSMNT:
Can you PM me about your encryption patch? I think it's the missing link in my process.

Got it done, had to reset and load the .tar, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] billa:
For those who are having "verification failed", boot-loop errors, or no root in the end, just follow ashyx'S 6 commandments carefully, it should work perfectly.

1. Boot to Twrp https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120715171

2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options (not WIPE but FORMAT!)

(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)

3. Check DATA is mountable.

4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)

5. Install boot image patch https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424951049

6. Reboot

After never rooting a phone before just messing with game consoles usually. I have finally gave in and sick of Virgin Mobile and decided to root this this. Is there any easy step by step guides(going into download mode and just things regular users know how to do on a whim) on getting started.

Your bootloader is factory locked and no amount of fiddling is going to bypass this.

No unsigned software can be flashed to a boot loader locked device.

Hi I have been reading all kinds of different post on how to twrp and root a Samsung galaxy j3 emerge sm-j327p (2017) and my conclusion is that their is not a positive way of getting root. So can someone please help with what files and everything needed to root my phone the files rom everything in a step by step instructions for this noob thanks.

I pull this little bit of information from sammobile.com

firmware has version number PDA J327PVPU3AQL3 and CSC J327PSPT3AQL3. The operating system of this firmware is Android 6.0.1, with build date Wed, 29 Sep 2838 23:00:00 +0000. Security patch date is 2017-12-01
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
The instructions are in the OP of this thread. There is nothing more required.

If you don't understand what is posted then maybe you shouldn't be modifying your device or at least Google what you don't understand.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Your j3 emerge has the latest security update, so of course it is not guaranteed that you would have success in getting twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 68mshrop:
Well i managed to get unmodified twrp on my Samsung galaxy j3 emerge (sm-j327p ) however i am stuck at loading screen now in the odin system how many files do you want on the screen if all you want is twrp and root
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
The op tells you how to leave the Odin screen after you flash twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 68mshrop:
Ok so i missed files that need to go with twrp in odin. My phone finally turned back on however i need a 3 number pin to lock and use my sim card so at the moment i have no phone or wifi service on my active boost account

What files are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 68mshrop:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
God knows what you did to mess up your device, twrp won't affect anything to do with the OS.

Go to updato.com and install the stock firmware for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
You were only supposed to flash the file to install twrp through Odin nothing else.

I have a problem with my J3 emerge and the TWRP recovery after it was installed. I get these error messages saying:

"could not mount /data and unable to find cypto footer"

"failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

unable to recreate /data/media folder.

UPDATING PARTITION DETAILS...

Failed to mount "/data (invalid argument)

...done

unable to mount storage

failed to mount "/data' (invalid argument)

FULL SELinux support is present

unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps

MTP Enabled

Is this corrupted partition information and why does the data partion always read 0mbs

when I try to repair this under advance wipe I get:

/sbin/e2fsk -fp /dev/block/mmcblk0p48 process

ended with error: 8

unable to repair data

how do I repair this error or how do I repair the corrupted partitions on my phone without completely bricking my device??? I have tried to install a couple of different ROMS (the J3rom magisk and pphbarebones rom as well as the QF4 buildwith Odin as well as the zip file... I am here as well as there... thanks for any help...

Also I need the firmware for galaxy j3 emerge SM-J327PVPU3AQJ3 BUILD:MMB29M
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
You need to format data by typing yes in twrp and then wiping everything else except external SD where your rom files should be... Reboot recovery and flash your rom of choice and you'll have full access to data. It has to be formatted to disable force encryption in the case of flashing our roms. I have force encryption disabled in most of the boot.img's I use for building now

first page is the hardest to get to ashyx, :p . I made the mistake of upgrading to AQJ3 and I'm pissed now, but your ROOT/TWRP are still magic and keep me interested in my now $80 Boost J327. Thanks for all the hard work you do. I appreciate it more than you know. Trying to work on a way to downgrade firmware back to OG now but pretty sure without some kinda special equipment I'll just have t rig the new files with files from old FW. I can't even flash an old backup without loosing either Wifi or Data in general. I'm still learning but without you, XDA, and wanting to boost my sound (found XDA on google with a Viper4Android search) I wouldnt love doing these things now. Still very much willing to be a tester for you or any other experienced developer even if it F's my phone up..... but honestly the J3 IMO is pretty bullet proof, I know I've done everything wrong, right, and stupid... re flashed at least a couple hundred times and it still is just like new, even throwing it against walls and such (never seen a phone that can take such a beating). Anyways PM me if I can help any further. Might make a trip to Wally World soon and try and a a QF4 before theyre all gone. Thanks again buddy.

I'm having issues with TWRP. When I try to backup or flash a zip it says "unable to mount /data" (invalid argument) and unable to mount storage. Do I have to wipe the data partition and make it mountable? Then flash no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip? My phone is completely stock other than Magisk 16.0. For some reason safetynet check ctsProfile and basicintegrity fail. Every time I want to play pokemon go I have to restore the default boot.img. I feel like I'm stuck and can't fix anything because TWRP is broken. Also has anyone gotten magisk fully working with the J3 emerge? Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Phone info

Galaxy J3 Emerge (2017)

Model: SM-J327P

Android version: 6.0.1

Android security patch level: December 1st 2017

Baseband version: J327PVPU3AQL3

Kernel version: 3.18.24
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
You are correct. Go into wipe settings and type yes to format data, then reboot recovery and flash the patch. Or use a boot.img with force encryption and dm-verity disabled already.

Yeah i rooted it with the same method i used for the sprint as they are the same. I just cant get it unlocked, z3x says unlocked reboots phone ect but still invalid sim.

Hi, I'm sorry about my newbish ways, but I have been trying to deal with this unable to mount issue for weeks. I have read the OP, and this thread. I have a couple questions (possibly dumb)

After I format, then type yes. I will:

Boot into recovery and check data is mountable

Then I will flash supersu, and the no verity patch in that respective order.

Then I'll enter into download mode, refresh the stock firmware with odin.

Reboot into system, unlock oem, and allow usb debugging.

Return to download mode reflash TWRP 3.1.0-1 with odin.

Questions?

How do I Check data is mountable?

If this method works will I have to to flash

Supersu?

Thank you for your time, I understand that a lot of time and effort has been put into this issue by others and I appreciate it. [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

:( sorry idk. I haven't gotten to looming for any custom roms,yet other than looking through youtube. I didn't realize that I need to flash a,custom tom after your process. It makes sense to me now since we are formatting data. As I said I'm still a newb. Thank you for your timely response, and I'm sorry for wasting your time. Is it possible to direct me to a thread for custom roms for the j327p? [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
You don't need to flash anything is the point. Just follow the instructions as is and leave it at that.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] kirbenheim:
In the past when I formatted, it wiped my OS . Do I not have to format? [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
It will not wipe your OS unless you specifically wipe the system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] kirbenheim:
Oh because when I select format, it automatically erases everything and won't give me any other options, I can choose to wipe individual sections but not when I choose format [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

**do you mean use the advanced wipe option and choose the data partition partition. Wipe the data partition, which I assume clears out your internal storage, while leaving your system partition? Because if I choose to format data, it has me type yes and then wiped out everything including the OS leaving only recovery.

*** I'm sorry, I know that I have little understanding and that I'm asking you simple questions. I have been out of the game since my htc one with CWM recovery. I apologize, and understand that you are a true OG in this community.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
No, use the FORMAT DATA button. I guarantee it will NOT wipe the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] kirbenheim:
Thank you for all your help! Idk what my original mistake was when I wiped my OS, but you were indeed correct. You helped me out when no one else would/could. I see others have given you undue grief in this post. I want you to know I am impressed by your professionalism and technical skills. To prove it I did indeed donate, and bought you a beer. Hopefully, a,strong one! Cheers! [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] showbobandvageen:
twrp installed flawlessly. only had a problem getting root. super su would not work so had to use magisk, which showed errors. not surprising though since samsung and bloatware are ingrained into the OS.

version J327PVPS3ARC1
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
Many thanks for the donation support. Appreciated.

I don't really use custom Roms, so haven't really got a recommendation.

Best thing and most important to do before you do anything, is to run a full TWRP backup of your device. Try out a rom, if it's not to your liking simply restore your backup.

root success on the J327PVPS3ARC1

I am very new here, I just wanted to stop in and say using the TWRP and odin files provided on the j3 thread I have gained root on the Sprint edition J327PVPS3ARC1 running stock everything . Followed the directions provided for the q1, I first flashed the newest twrp using the newest odin and then used debugging options to enable OEM unlock, downloaded newest magisk version onto SD, booted to recovery, formatted data installed magisk via sd using twrp then wiped caches and rebooted. Root and core functions running smoothly. One oddity I have not noticed before in prior roots that i noticed during this device's session, The screen no longer says "set warranty bit: recovery" in yellow top right upon boot, it now says "set warranty bit: kernel".
