Or if we buy the SM-J327U we can solve the bootloader issue because i have confirmed that device has root access but sadly most of us do not have $150+ to order one from samsung.

What would the 327U do to solve this? Maybe a combo firmware of the two? I still have all the firmware of the J3, since the 320A. So if you now how to create a firmware of the two that would be a blessing

I found an app! It's called hack desk, ultimate hacking tools or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] djmcho:
What are you saying ? Guys please be a little more clear on your communication.

Also, we can try a bounty.. I have to call TMobile and see what my balance on this phone is and decide what to do. But we make a bounty and someone will hack it. There are genious's out there. Does everyone have bitcoins ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
I mean maybe we can hack through Linux. A security testing distro

To find an exploit, and gain root
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
hacking is more related to penetration testing and getting unauthorized access to a network or device to steal information or use wifi or other services *

you are trying to exploit flaws in the operating system of your mobile which will allow you to get root

strictly speaking you don't need to hack your device because it is yours and finding flaws in it to use to obtain root is perfectly legal

i thought you would have realised that you guys regularly posting here just don't have the required level of skills to find root

a bounty is one way to go cos you might make it more interesting for a really skilled person to use his valuable time to look into this situation but on the otherhand there are many people working on finding flaws for samsung devices or just android in general so even a bounty might fail .

you need to accept that a really budget device can be overlooked as far as unlocking and development is concerned if not enough people buy it .i recently bought a moto e4 and we have an official bootkoader unlock from lenovo so we have twrp , root and LOS14 so far .

for the price of your device just exchange it for something like a moto , sony , huawei budget phone but with easy bootloader unlocking and lots of development

good luck . but seriously man . get over kali linux unless you want to do actual hacking and penetrate peoples devices and networks wirelessly to steal their info .if you really wanted to use linux to find software exploits and make tools from them go to study at xda university and after that go study IT and programming or software engineering or some related field . if you don't understand basic coding and computing linux is just another computer with a desktop where you can type a few documents and safe them.or change your wallpaper....

sorry if i come off super critical or very negative or like im assuming you don't have IT skills but you guys wasting a lot of time and energy on stuff thst doesn't make sense like ashyx told you from the start .

good luck . but the linux thing is like three dudes who want to rob a bank but no clue saying let's just buy more guns...this is NOT going to magically give the three dudes the knowledge or idea on how to exploit the security of the bank just cos they bought more guns ...they need some pure genius or a person with experience or inside info

:svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
Well that's pretty sad to be told you can't do it right from the start. Honestly like being kick in the gut, and I wanted to start researching the field of security. I understand ATM I don't have the skills to gain root. This device is worthless and a waste of time. However, if no one else can gain root. And Samsung doesn't care to even sniff at us, who will find it. If we don't even bother trying, just about everything, then we may as well all move on and give up.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
yeah sorry bro ....:p..

I'm not trying to be downer just saying some things are worth trying but others are just not worth it .you never know a day after trashing your device an unlock will appear :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
i still dont give up, i thin its been post, on cruddy wifi, but how would one go about pre-rooting a combo firmware? or better yet, since in factory binary mode, although a emulator, selinux is set to permissive and we can set the debug level to low mid or high, i now mid is eng what is high? or is it opposite lie high being the lowest level and low being the highest....also thanks for the frp bypass to those who contributed i now own another 5 j3 primes because of you!!!!

Dude i am no tech expert but despite what everyone says ..if u have reached to the point where permissive mode is changable; root is possible..these negative Nancy's have their say but with Bobby's potential.. wow

And your such a great developer huh? You can't seem to even break a 100$ phone. You want to get realistic then stop complaining about my opinions. Any phone can get root with the knowledge applied...but of course you know that because you're a 'recognized' dev. So far you have nothing good to say towards me. No one else honestly.. it is like you are undermining me. But my mind is open and yours seems to be severly picky and constricted. I see your intentions but you aren't doing anything positive by demeaning me. I wish your skills were mine but you don't impress me. All I'm saying is your relaying information that is not entirely correct.. but I am here not to argue with you; only to encourage. Since my knowledge isn't key to this particular topic I am definitely backing out. Good luck guys because I believe Root is available and most importantly there with the right mind and Passion to produce a guide!!

There is a fairly new article that came across my path that adds a last step for CF Auto Root and Locked Bootloaders found here: http://hexamob.com/devices/root-android-7-0-n-for-any-phone-and-tablet/

Now check out the last step, step #14... It talks about running commands in windows terminal but it doesnt give you the exact fastboot/adb commands to use....

Goodluck!

BTW: Loving my Pixel XL ;)

*edit*

I know Samsung doesnt use fastboot but some of us got adb working, so i didnt know if something could be done...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] silentstrand:
HAS anyone tried compiling a custom kernel? I have tried several times, but I’m afraid my skills in coding and compiling code aren’t as strong as they might need to be. But Samsung does offer the J327T/J327T1 kernel on their open source site. Maybe someone could build a custom kernel and disable dm-verity in the fstab (like what is done in the S8) to allow Odin to flash custom bootloaders and tar balls. Just a thought I’ll keep trying once I get back from vacation.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I think you're under a misconception. Irrespective of whether the source code is available or disabling dm-verity, it is irrelevant as this device has a locked bootloader.

Disabling dm-verity will not allow a custom binary to be flashed on this device.

So, even if we can edit and push boot.img in the in a stock AP image, which I can and have done to an extent. Even if it manages to open up the allow on unlock option under the settings the bootloader would still be locked
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
It simply will not flash. The bootloader will reject it as it won't have a Samsung signature.

OEM UNLOCK does not unlock the bootloader on Samsung devices.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] silentstrand:
Ok, that makes more sense. I’m used to working with hboot on HTC, so when I was handed this phone and was reading this forum I was aware of the sigs needed to flash images, I started doing research and decided I would try a custom kernel. But after what you have said I think I will get rid of the phone and delete all my source code.
