If I brick mine with a combo that isnt for it like the j327a combo, the repair would simply be using odin to push the 4 part J327T1UVU1AQCB firmware, correct?

Is there risk of screwing up anything like partitions? would something like that be corrected via the odin flash of correct firmware?

I hear you on this and love the idea, but it is my belief that the j327t combo firmware is using the j327t1 hardware to simply emulate the j327t.

Its acting as if it were an emulation and it says its an emulated device in the settings app contained within the j327 combo firmware.

It is not saving persistent changes as if it were an emulation. I see no debug options.

There are no users listed to delete, and upon adding a user, it forgets at reboot.

It is behaving like a linux live usb in that way

kingoroot connected as a j327t under combo firmware but it hung at 3%, the phone popped up a message box that "cleaner has stopped: x close app" and kingoroot failed.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] NixKo:
That actually makes a lot of sense because its not the hardware(Or something else) it expects to be there it emulates its self

in my own testing the first time i entered download mode it was fine j327t1 and all but after flashing back from the combo i noticed it still thinks i am on a j327t when going to download mode anyone else see this?

its odd because windows still reads it as a j327t1 on stock and a j327t while the combo is flashed idk what to think im not that knowledgeable when it comes to android and such

Some guys claimed this .tar file can root this device on android 7 ....

I don't own the device and provide this .tar file as is and am not responsible for bricks or KNOX counters and other issues.

I thought someone with the device might want to try . backup and then flash file in download mode with odin .

Here is a download link

https://www.mediafire.com/file/wlt99r1aarhi61m/AZ_AUTOROOT_J327T_J327TUVU1AQCB.zip

This is an autoroot for this device model . I don't own the device so can't test it .If you guys are really desperately into trying everything for root try to flash this via Odin in download mode .....

I CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN IF IT WORKS !

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE!

KNOX OR OTHER.THIS IS A POSSIBLE AUTOROOT .TAR FOR THIS DEVICE MODEL BUT IS UNVERIFIED. SO SOMEONE WITH THE DEVICE PLS VERIFY .:good:

I tested that file before it doesnt work at all. It flashes but it says secure check fail:recovery and it will not let you boot.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
Well that is both good and bad news . this error means your frp lock is still on but it doesnt mean that the .tar file isnt good .

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

I understand that the option oem unlock in developer settings is hidden and there is no fastboot on the device .....

---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Please try this

1.flash the combo file ( because this should allow adb connection )

2. In developer settings enable usb debug

3. Give your pc authorization for usb connection

4.Open adb and try these commands one by one

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/

5. This should disable frp

6. Go to download mode

7. Flash the .tar file in previous post and the secure check failure should be gone

#perhaps this will get you root in the combo file

Doesn't matter . Forgot to mention . All three commands are the same . If only one works you are okay and frp is disabled .

I dont have the combo files .... Other users in this thread said they have them ...

If adb works with your device you can just run adb and use any one of the three adb commands that work to disable frp and then to flash the autoroot .tar via odin

Cant do more cos i dont have this device
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] seaf0ur:
Fail.

My FRP settings did not change.

It appears that the adb commands did not make persistent changes from within the combo firmware.

upon rebooting the phone into download mode, FRP lock is still set to ON and odin failed to flash the autoroot file.

Ok sorry man . Was worth a try . I will try to find an alternative to disabling frp ...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] seaf0ur:
I'm not sure the solution is within this particular combo firmware.

It says it is, and it acts like an emulation.

I'm hoping we can find a proper combo firmware for the j327t1 as opposed to the j327t.

I believe we would have more available options from within that.

What was the procedure for removing the frp lock?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] mrmack44240:
I did use adb and performed "getprop" and ro.oem_unlock_supported. Value it 1
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
For what reason do you need Android studio for?

To remove the signature from the stock recovery image, all that is required is to unpack then repack the stock image without any changes then flash with odin.

Now this will give one of 2 scenarios.

One is it simply won't flash because the bootloader will reject it and will fail in ODIN. There should also be some sort of message on the device screen, usually SECURE CHECK FAIL.

Two, it flashes but it will trigger FRP lock.

If it only triggers FRP then the device just needs OEM unlock enabled. To remove FRP and boot normally the stock recovery just needs to be reflashed.

Getprop clearly shows it's able to be unlocked we just have to figure out how to
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I'm afraid not. You seem to misunderstand.

OEM unlock has nothing to do with a locked bootloader.

If the bootloader is locked as it seems to be then it cannot be unlocked and nothing at all can be flashed unless its signed by Samsung.

I'm no engineer, but wasn't the J320A's bootloader locked as? My question I guess, does this mean no root?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Yes it does have a locked bootloader, but that device was running marshmallow. Root was achieved using the eng boot and kingroot.

However there is no exploit I know of yet for nougat.

So until there is then there will be no root.

Sad day
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
Ok so no exploit yet, what about manual root? What could happen if I pushed busybix superuser.apk and gave su the permissions needed thru adb commands and place su in the systems directory?

Also does anyone know the adb command used to weaken the android, I've used it before in rooting the zte n817 free government phone bit can't seem to find it
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You can't push anything to system without root. The only chance you've got is if an eng root boot binary becomes available. However it seems Samsung don't release eng boot images with root anymore.

Gaining root is becoming a nightmare on Nougat devices.

I've just had a hell of a time gaining root on the J727P and that device does not even have a locked bootloader!

I do not see any accounts in the combo firmware.

The J327T1UVU1AQCB and J327T1UVU1AQF7 firmware are both currently suffering a frp lock.

Making a .tar.md5 from the userdata and flashing that did not help either.

ADB commands are not making changes in combo and on normal firmware ADB is locked to sideload mode which is not very useful.

Ah yes now I remember Knox troubles with other Samsung devices. Maybe just maybe changing ownership of the shoot.Bin and boot.Img in windows and extracting and editing we can totally fake out Knox on the factory binary image and gain root.

DPC is device policy controller. you can find an app to test it on google play.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Soo after installing test dpc i can conclude that it is just basically similar to group policy from windows. It is used for businesses that give phones to their employees. It will not give root access to an app because it will need root access itself to change those permissions. Our only way to root is by an exploit. Also if you install test dpc and you setup an account it will show a new icon in the statusbar that looks like a briefcase. It seems like samsung wants all of their devices to be secure and root makes your device insecure according to them.
