Wow, small paper written. Well I understood the differences between unlocking the bootloader, and unlocking the carrier unlock. I was only curious if they would. Push out the firmware for said unlocked variant of the phone. However, again it doesn't work like this. Sadly nothing is easy to do in this world. So, I guess I can only hope for 8.0 and whenever we get root. We can all be excited!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
My 3 months are up butttt.....ever since binary mode i can no longer use secure folder nor can i use the unlock, that would just be sim tho bootloader isnt affected

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Actually it wasnt our 327t1, it was the predecessor 320a. i have gained no ground on this phone..

the problems i have with my pc is i push it to far and most the time i need a new laptop...has nothing to do with anything besides nothing lol....

i have been looking at the sboot and that certificate. i was able to install it in my stores on pc, i was wondering if installing it on the phone as a user trusted if then maybe it may allow something?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
OK what the **** am i looking at? is that the bootloader screen???
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
The image is blurry. I cannot read the text on the screen. But if it is the bootloader try using fastboot

---------- Post added at 03:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

If you look on the cf autoroot website you will be happy to know that our device has one now.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
I'll try to get a better one
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
The cf autoroot fails to flash the bootloader rejects it and unlike the az autoroot it doesn't brick the device for some reason. You just reboot and the phone boots normally. We gotta find a way to unlock the bootloader somehow. Also i think the az auto root only bricked the device because it was incompatible if someone extracts the recovery img from the stock rom you can get the signature somehow and put it into a twrp which will bypass the bootloaders signature check. The problem is it is a very hard to find the signature. I have found the kernel however for the recovery. It is locked with some sort of pass code.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
So going from what appears to be fastboot screen straight to download mode I got extra info showing up
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] NixKo:
I started getting the same info after flashing the combo
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
Samsung, I know you are watching this thread. The reason I purchased a galaxy again was because of the galaxy exhibit I purchased as my first android phone. It was a thrill, the ease of rooting. However now that has all changed, everything must be done in secret. And I really hope im not overstepping by telling you all how I feel. This device has the potential to be a very useful and fast piece of hardware. A lightning quick handset, yet right now. With the Samsung version of android nougat on it. That warm feeling I had with my exhibit is long gone. It is slower than my old ZTE Zmax. I will try my best to help find root for this phone, yet I'm still learning. When root is however achieved. I know how to compile android, ill build it if you need me to! So thank you to the continued development of this device.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
Ive done some digging in the bootloader files. If you look inside the files you will find sboot.bin, param.bin, and cm.bin. sboot is the file that prevents rolling back to previous builds and cm.bin is cryptography manager it is where samsungs signature is and its encrypted with AES-256 DRBG encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
So how would we decrypt it with this info?

---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

To see this hold just power and vol down for 7 seconds

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

What would the signature look like? Can dig they every file easily if I know what I'm looking for I'll find it
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
pretty much the whole file is the code.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
OK this Is in the bl file?

Sorry just read it again recovery give me like an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
Yes but the code is unreadable. If you look at all the code in sboot.bin you will notice some weird things.

From what im seeing our device thinks its a note. The version of it tho i havent deciphered. I just keep seeing device:note then a bunch of symbols. I did install rhe cert on my pc going to try installing it on device ans see what tbat gains. It is an actual signature from samsung from what i can see.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
I'd take a note?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
I found the kernel files for the device. theres a zip file that is inside the tar file of the stock rom files you flash with odin. The zip file is password encrypted but thanks to chainfire i have cracked it and extracted all the files but for some reason google is being stupid and won't let me upload it. i will be uploading to mediafire later. the password for the zip is: fotatest1234

So the j3 prime has been rooted. Just buggy? And no files shared?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
the guy is using the factory firmware. which is similar to how the samsung galaxy s8 was rooted but he instead used gcprokey which is a service that unlocks phones and roots them if it is able to. once you root the device you install flashify and get the supersu zip and you set it up to wipe system before flashing the zip. after that you use the stock system.img which will return you to stock but you keep root atleast that is how i can guess it is being done.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] HACK3DANDR0ID:
So whats the next move?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] kinehumane:
I own a GCPROKEY and it does not have a root service. It does however in the repair files have a version of kingroot an old version at that. It does have the aforementioned unlocking service from t-mobile and sprint. Sprint unlocking is where this software shines. I also have a spare sm-j327t1. Which is FRP bypassed using said GCPROKEY (would post steps on how to achieve FRP bypass. But, GCPROKEY is needed so would be useless.). I out of curiosity tried what you mentioned might be the way root was achieved and it was a no go.

This phone has no value to me. If needed I can test an app / flash whatever it is you need flashed. Just let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
he might be using a modified rom like the one the used in sampwned for the s8. and yea i realized that lol. also i got a reply on the video of the guy with root on his phone. it wont be going public any time soon. I hate when people keep root from the community like this fr.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

not sure right now i am not exactly a coder. but root doesn't appear to be happening soon and i am sad. i cant remove the bloatware without it and i cannot apply tweaks also. samsung has done a terrible deed to the community and now they have lost my trust. i don't want another iphone like phone that gives you no freedom but the way things are heading it seems like that is a real possibility.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
Wow guys you wont believe this but i updated the touchwiz launcher in the j3 prime along with many other apps. Some apps wouldnt install due to conflicts being detected by the package manager.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
Yeah, I actually installed the stock so launcher. No root or anything, however it installed. But the battery drain is horrendous
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
i haven't noticed really any additional battery drain. you might be using an older version. i have the latest version that was released a day ago. it crashed 2 times but since then no more crashing and it works really well. i prefer it over the version that came with the device. i recommend you to update the clock app and the calculator app the latest versions are way better and the calculator has conversions also.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
Okay, yeah my battery has been horrible ever since i got it. My Zmax had way better battery usage then this. I dont know what to do about it. I feel trapped :(

I will remove some apps and update some others, i suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
Okay I have updated these apps to the s8 variant so far.

Samsung internet

Samsung contacts

Samsung phone

Samsung calculator

Samsung clock

Samsung calendar

Samsung themes

TouchWiz launcher

Gallery

Keyboard

I think that covers it.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
I am back at it, I wonder of something like the manual root method would work. Maybe using a version of Linux to gain a type of root from terminal, in booy mode but I cannot seem to get my Linux to boot :(

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Unfortunately I have had these for a while now no help
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
dang it. and that guy who rooted the device said that his method will not be free. also thanks to some info gathering he lives in new york city, he is from Pakistan and he has lots of computer programming experience. he might actually have created his own root method without code or files from the s8 root method but it may be unlikely. he must be doing this all by himself which is why he wants payment. it is understandable. and the reason why its not available right now is because he is probably polishing things up and fixing things. i strongly believe devs should be paid for their work but not like this.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

also he owns an unlock service website. so he is a business man.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :

If it does work (and I doubt unless it's the eng root binary) it won't be cheap. Not only that it's a bit rich to be charging a high price considering I have personally helped this guy out with stuff before for free and other stuff from XDA.

i have been talking to the guy on skype. he said it is for sale but it isn't ready to be released yet. he hasn't given a price yet but he said he will update his status when he is ready.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
omg you wont believe this guys.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I'd take it all with a pinch of salt. He would need some sort of engineering firmware and that's going to cost money and to know someone in the right places.

Look at it this way. Chainfire is the undisputed champion of root, no question.

If it could be done simply on bootloader locked devices I would have thought CF would have cracked it.

Regarding the s8 exploit, geez I didn't realise someone paid 2k for it.

Not only that I expect it was a one off. Due to the fact it had SU binaries already installed.

Someone at Samsung with access to Samsungs signing keys must have made this. A very risky thing to do.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
It does seem like that. It looks like he is some sort of hacker and he is using other dealers to make it where he isnt detected by samsung. It is entirely possible. And i do agree cf is the king root. Also cf released files for our device but since our device has a locked bootloader it obviously doesnt work. It says secure check fail (recovery) but when you reboot your phone it boots as if nothing happend. Curse this locked bootloader. It is an abomination in all devices. Maybe samsung has made a file to flash with their own odin software that unlocks their bootloaders but its hidden from people. The only way i think will end this nightmare in the future is people to boycott samsung products until they listen to us and stop locking those bootloaders.

i got adb to recognize device after flashing adb enabler over combination file. Not sure if it helps...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
my screen flickers also usually only when the brightness is 30% or less. its something to do with the type of display it is. or it could be a defective part in the display. the screen randomly locking sideways is probably a glitch in the os. also if sometimes you unlock the screen the display becomes unresponsive. This happens on multiple devices including the lg k7. locking and unlocking fixes it.

No, only Nougat QCB version.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Well just for peace of mind let's get 100% confirmation that it does indeed have a locked bootloader.

Which firmware build are you running?

Also regarding the lack of OEM unlock, ensure your device does not have a pin/password set or the option may not appear.

The other reason could be that you need to use CROM service.apk, do you have CROM SERVICE :LOCK when booted to ODIN mode?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
Build: NRD90M.J327T1UVU1AQCB

when booted into odin i see no CROMS mentions anywhere. however i do see FRP Lock: On. which is strange because i have no lock or pin set. other than that all i see with odin is that i have not tripped warranty and sercure boot is on
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
It's a bit late for me here now. But tomorrow I will upload the unsigned stock boot image. If it flashes without SECURE CHECK FAIL then all that is required is to turn FRP off as the bootloader isn't locked.

However if it does then it's more or less a sure sign of a locked bootloader.
