Anyone know how to get the hotspot working on the J727P... I'm on the ARA1 build, rooted with TWRP... Just cant seem to find anything on getting the native hotspot to work... Any guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated... Thank you for your time and consideration....
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] n00b-xda-disciple:
I've actually tried quite a few things and nothing worked... I got the hotspot to come on. But dns server not working. I did tether provision build prop edit and adb the global tether dun setting. So yeah doesn't shut off saying I don't have it. But it's not working once connected. No internet connection.

What's wierd is I got this phone because I can root it but no tethering so far. My Stylo 3 I couldn't root but at least I could tether. I hope someone figures this out because I'm stumped.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] XxTeXx07xX:
The apn type and adding dun use to work.... I made a thread on it. I'm still able to get my msl code but all the apns are greyed out and you can't edit any of them now.

With that said.........

So far I have found out the apn-conf.xml in /system folder. I can edit and save with no problem...... now in that file at the top it say it must match the res/common/xml/apn.xml or something very similar to that. It took my awhile to find this file but I have FOUND IT!!! (If you use apk editor and select the menu button to view system files/apks). Look for servicemode.apk and browse that .apk, in the /res/xml folder you will find the apns.xml file!!! I found apn-editor.xml and apn-settings.xml in the settings all also

I downloaded APKS Editor in the play store and started poking around. The file is a system all called servicemode.apk, if you decompile the file and check the res folder and look in the xml folder TADA, YOU WILL FIND THE APNS.XML file....... so that's as far as I have got. When viewing this APN.XML file I can't figure out how to edit it to match the system/apns-conf.xml file.

Now in the apk editor you can view the strings or files..... I used the file option and looked at all the strings..... they can be edited.

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! I looked thru the settings and service mode til all also so I'm getting confused and maybe a fresh pair of eyes and a clear mind can help figure this out. I been trying along time now!

Hello my friend see this method

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] 28roms:
This worked for me

To root the J7 Perx, I did this: (remove the spaces in the links because it won't let me post a link)

1. On your phone, download the magisk zip file: htt ps://github.c om/topjoh nwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.0/Magisk-v16.0.zip

2. Power off

On your computer:

1. Download an application called odin: htt ps://odindownload.c om/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip

2. Download TWRP for the J7 Perx: htt ps://dl.twrp.m e/j7popltespr/twrp-3.2.1-1-j7popltespr.img.tar

3. Install odin

4. Boot the phone into download mode (Power + Vol down + home) then press volume up

5. Open odin and plug your phone in, making sure OEM is unlocked and USB debugging is enabled on your phone (both found in developer options)

6. Click AP, then find your .img.tar file you downloaded in step 2

7. Click start

8. When the setup is complete, your phone's screen will go black and it will vibrate. As soon as it vibrates, unplug the phone and take the battery out IMMEDIATELY. This prevents your phone from reverting back to its stock custom recovery. If you don't, you will have to restart the process.

9. Pop the battery back in to your phone, then hold Power + Vol up + home. you should see "recovery booting... set warranty bit:recovery"

10. Teamwin will load

11. Continue through setup then click Install, then go to sdcard>download or wherever you downloaded the magisk zip file

12. It will install magisk

13. reboot>system and you should be good to go

NOTE: *This can damage your device. If you mess up, I am not responsible*

PS. if you get caught in a bootloop like i did, reinstall magisk or just install the stock rom

3.12 i have afew others (3.11, 3.5)

tried 3.5, 3.11.1, 3.12.3 same on all
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
3.12 should be fine.

There something odd going on with the kernel source.

I'm not sure why the kernel refuses to boot at the moment, it maybe be related to AVB. I'll have to look into that.

However its logs I need and for that root is required.

3. mount SYSTEM

4. select INSTALL and navigate to the folder /supersu

6. select it and install it

7. If all goes well reboot and install the SuperSu app from play store

8. You should be rooted

Let me know how it goes.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Borams:
In odin, An error message is caused by an unsupported type.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
okay, if you can add the no verify zip inside the supersu zip folder I can get root. It boots to verification fail with the #7 recovery replacing the recovery.img in the patched boot twrp zip. I still cant access any partitions except system in twrp.:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Your using an unsupported version of of odin which doesn't support meta data. You should be using at least version 3.12. That version is old and uses PDA instead of AP.

Try it with the version I've linked.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

I already patched the boot image I provided with twrp including the supersu zip.

I think the issue is encryption. It seems with the latest firmware the device will not boot without dm-verity if the device is encrypted. I've come across the issue before.

Basically the device needs formatting using the FORMAT DATA button(not wipe) in TWRP.

However Forced encryption will need to be disabled in the boot.img also.

I can do this manually or you could try adb sideloading the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip posted earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] minz1:
Need any help? :p
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
sorry, needed to recharge my battery (sleep), it fails the very same way in 3.12.3.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I'm away from the PC for most of today, so can't look at this until then.

I'm still confused as to why odin failed. I will double check the boot image when I get to the PC.

In the mean time if you want to try out the procedure I outlined above to eliminate encryption as the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
the phone said unsupported dev type when it failed, if that helps. I was trying to get that very thing done, but I either can get to recovery and install su or use another tar to flash that recovery doesn't work but it will boot to android. either I can't format data in twrp or I can't load the no verify by sideload.:confused: I'm trying to help...but I am still trying to get the build environment working on a vm ubuntu which I have no experience with so I figure I will be able to compile around January of 2028!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Whats the issue when you use the FORMAT DATA button in TWRP. What error are you getting?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Borams:
Contains the tar files that were previously released inside the latest tar file, which caused the error?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
invalid argument and error creating .fstab. any of the other partitions besides system either say invalid argument or access denied.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Dont worry about the errors regarding permissions or invalid arguments.

Invalid arguments is related to the data partition being unmountable because of encryption.

What actually happens when you perform the actual format? It is essential that you use the FORMAT DATA button.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
okay, "E : legacy property environment did not initialize successfully. Properties may not be detected"

failed to mount data (invalid argument) and cache (permission denied)

unable to mount storage

E : Error creating fstab

after formatting error opening data and failed to mount cache both permission denied.

the best I've gotten so far is with the first patch, if I just let it boot after flashing it goes to verification fail, if I go to twrp and install su and then sideload the verify zip it only bootloops
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
OK it seems we need to do some deductive diagnosing to ascertain what the issue is?

When I get back to the PC I'll repack each item individually. Maybe at least this will give a clue to solving these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Okey dokey.

Inside the zip is 2 Odin flashable archives.

One is complete stock containing only boot and recovery. The other is the Eng boot and PIT file. The Eng boot should boot permissive and dm-verity disabled with adb debugging enabled, that's of course if it actually flashes.

I would flash the eng boot with no modifications whatsoever, neither TWRP or SuperSU. Just to ascertain it can boot OK.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862728389

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
eng boot flashed but would not boot (only thing I tried was format data which did nothing to help). Second aboot flashed and booted.

Not sure it would be of use but I have the source code zip file for this device (SM-J727P_NA_NN_Opensource)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Source is no good as the kernel doesn't boot.

Here's the Eng boot with aboot and meta-data included. This may be required for the Eng boot to boot.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195900989

This one is the stock boot image modified to disdable dm-verity AND forced encryption. It may be necessary to Factory reset in stock recovery (to format the data partition) to get this to boot.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634771111

This is assuming that everything else is stock, no TWRP, no SuperSU.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nimrod OG:
https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/sm-j727p-2017-stock-odin-files-t3573600

That got me back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
Eng boot won't boot, modded stock booted with format.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Ok, maybe we're getting somewhere now. I've also patched sepolicy in the stock boot image so Supersu can be installed in system mode.

I'd flash this first, ensure it boots OK then proceed to install TWRP with Super zip included.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120733732

Also just out of interest, assuming the DATA partition is still unencrypted after formatting in stock recovery, is it mountable in TWRP?
