Hey guys, sorry havent been around much, gave my J3s to friends that needed phones. I just bought a Note8 and there is a back door someone found using SAMFail. I got root on my Note8 with a locked bootloader. Hope this helps...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Relyt2012:
Interesting, we should be able to mod this to our device. Right? Snapdragon and all
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Yea its only for Snapdragon Chips and here is the info to get you guys started : https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-root-samfail/

*edit*

My device is on 7.1.1 BTW

our device is not snapdragon its exynos so it will not work.

I have been following this thread since day 1 , no exaggeration indeed. I've tried to the best of my ability , taking everything from the information attained from Senior Members to no avail. This is the first galaxy phone ive hit a wall every time trying to root.:eek:

I dont know wether or not its Samsung to blame or its service Provider added code. But I almost want to just chuck this against a wall. :D

Also. I finally remembered my account info to log in. Ive been reading in the shadows since page 1. Haha :p

I seen this video. Ive read the comments as well. He wants to make money on it and if you look closely he is using Super Su 2.78 when it pops up, yet that version is OD , current is 2.82 I believe . Dude is a vulture :(

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] kernalkonfusion:
A vulture would be giving him a little too much he's more like a fake POS I mean if the dude was real he would post his work to be seen because nobody in the hell is going to pay any amount of money for an exploit on a J-3 that's really not even a real J-3 kind of like the new j7... the SM j727vl... their BS remix of already mediocre mid-range they're not worth the time to find the exploit much less the plastic they're made of that's why they're quote-unquote free at places like Metro.. ...

nope it doesnt. the only thing that has changed is theres new icons when launching certain applications made by samsung. like settings for example shows a gear and gallery shows a flower. also performance is slightly faster.

So it's looking like root for this device is just simply outta the question huh? What a crock man. I actually thought this was a decent phone till this whole fiasco with the locked bootloader and being unable to root. What's stupid is this is the only variant of this phone that has this problem.

HEY you!

Hey....

I like what you're saying, Would you like to bless me with the game so I can get this phone off my desk. I got a SM-J3271T1 setting on my desk. I never do any bypasses every. I don't like getting married to phones and that is what I feel like right now. Can you teach me how to bypass the FRP on this one? OR point me in the right direction of the one that worked for you on this phone(model)?

Omg srsroot has posted our device as supported on their twitter.

https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/871023938465353728 NOTICE: antivirus and antimalware software has flagged this program as PUP (potentially unwanted program) But ignore it as the reason for this is exploits used to actually root the device. UPDATE: I have tried this and it failed to work even though it says root completed instead of saying failed. . Also kingroot and kingoroot does not work either. I guess this is back to the drawing board then.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
SRS ROOT is a fake program. It's simply a script that runs which pretends to root. It's likely harvesting data.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
after re-enabling lookout on the phone it detected a root enabler app installed. It looks as if the app attempted to obtain root access or has gained temporary root which was lost with a reboot (which the srsroot program caused)

Oh damn it, really really need some solution to root this j327t1, hope something comes up soon as possible, have one in hand here right now to root and unlock
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
We have to wait for TWRP for this device sadly. On most samsung devices twrp is required to even be able to root the device. Some require OEM unlock either by using some mod in odin mode or in developer settings. It seems as if samsung removed OEM unlock in developer settings ever since the release of android 7.0. but i cannot confirm this. Kingroot and kingoroot does not work so that means that an exploit has not been found for this device not even by our old Chinese friends in china who make our phones. But oh well maybe someone can find a way to data mine the rom files since someone has obtained and released the files on the internet. Those files require the latest odin to work FYI. Hopefully we will have a breakthrough soon.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
I have learned that before we get custom recovery or even root we must disable dm-verity (thanks google for implementing it to make our lives harder) We cannot install supersu without a custom recovery and the only way to install a recovery is to flash it with odin. But no one has developed a twrp yet and the dm-verity has to be bypassed before then.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
Verity is still enabled on my j320. And I have root with no twrp. There are ways around it I think that's where the eng boot helps
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Only partially true.

Dm-verity does kick in if changes are made to the system partition and recently the boot/recovery partition.

Pretty much any mod that modifies the boot image will also disable dm-verity including SuperSU.

There is no point in compiling twrp for a device that has a locked bootloader seeing as no one can 100% confirm the bootloader isnt locked.

SM-j327t1

Been a very long time since i have needed to be back on XDA for a phone root, I have just recently came back w/a new phone

where, I need to remove bloat and free up space on the phone and need to achieve root to do it.

So, correct me if i am wrong but, the screen shots are of the Galaxy J3 Prime SM-j327t, a phone that has an unlocked boot loader.

And that phone (SM-j327t) already has an established root method. Correct?

This thread is for the Galaxy J3 Prime SM-j327t1 correct?

Not the Galaxy J3 Prime SM-j327t correct ?

Among my search the past week for a root method i found one for SM-j327t is why I'm asking.

So my question is how can this help us with the Galaxy J3 Prime SM-j327t1 version ?

Is the other place i went feeding false hopes, and this thread fits all variants of the J-3 Prime?

Thanks guys/gals for all your hard work and effort that makes our phones truly ours to do as we feel.​

My OP is basically questions

Is this thread for SM-j327t or SM-j327t1 or all J3 Prime variants ? Because i found something elsewhere that shows the model SM-j327t has a root method, I thought my wording was clear and to the point, I'm Sorry if people misunderstand my OP, but i do not see how to make it clearer.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
If you update you will lose root and will be unlikely to regain it.

Your root validator should tell you which su binary is being used.

Failing that just install the SuperSU apk from Play store and run it, it should notify you if the SuperSU binary isn't installed.

While you're at it any chance you could pull the boot image and post it?

You can save it as a raw image with the app below.

After unpacking the boot image it seems the boot image is from the Combination firmware. it's likely that the su binary was pushed via one of the hardware flashing boxes.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Ok, it appears to be the system version of SuperSu v2.82.

The good news is that if you intend to do any updating you can use Flashfire to keep root. However if you wish to update to Oreo, you may have to flash the bootloader (BL) with Odin afterwards.
