Yo, I remember when I tried to flash my phone because I soft bricked, and I couldn't flash the firmware.. the thing I noticed is that odin has different versions for different versions of the galaxy phone.. May be if someone tries to flash the root with a odin version that is made for the nougat, then maybe we may achieve root..
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] chrisrlink:

Having trouble with this, idk where to get a modified system.img
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I think everyone just needs to slow down here.

The main goal is to actually successfully flash the eng firmware and then run SamPWNED.

It doesn't matter what it says in recovery just reboot its normal.

First boot will take some time, so leave well alone for at least 5 minutes.

If anyone manages to reboot successfully after flashing SamPWNED then don't do anything else at that point, but check for root status and report back.

You may get kernel panics during the process, this is also normal, just take out the battery and reboot.

What ever happens if anyone does achieve root status DO NOT install SuperSU with Flashfire. It will soft brick your device.

It would also be helpful (for me anyway) to see the SamPWNED root process in a clear video.

The output would help me debug.

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

You need to hang fire. You should be able to update, but let's get this worked out first.

You already have root so your situation is different to everyone else at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] chrisrlink:
well besides the KP's root seems to work except storage is buggy when connected to a PC it kicks off sometimes stating it can't read data

You should now be able to flash the stock system image with Flashfire. However ensure that EverRoot is disable and ONLY flash the SYSTEM version of SuperSU which you can find on XDA.

Flash Success

Update: kernel crash after FlashFire, flashing CSC

Update2: Everything unstable, FlashFire no longer working, wiped data/cache
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
Same here its the kernel itself doing that. Gotta flash stock kernel but idk how
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Using the eng firmware will make things a little unstable until we streamline the process.

I suggest flashing the stock firmware, but ensure BOOT and EverRoot are disabled << IMPORTANT

Use the Supersu zip below which will install in System mode.

All needs to be done with Flashfire in the same session.

Not possible with root.

Things should be more stable with the stock firmware.

Well I got back to stock by flashing the rooted firmware system.img with CSC file first, then flashed stock system.img with Supersu... still getting kernel panic popups but I am back with Metro firmware but it also has tmobile stuff in some menus as well.... here's the pics

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
For some reason the icons in the status bar stay. That wierd volte icon and the wierd looking icon (idk what to call it) also havent had a kernel panic in over 30 mins. I removed alot of bloatware on my device and ran tweaks which make it better. But i get stutter still but thats probably due to the kernel being buggy. (After all this kernel was made before the release of this device when it was still in developement)
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Are you now running complete stock firmware except for the boot image?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
I am running the stock system only. Also i stopped the kernel panics. I only flashed the system.img and the system mode supersu through flashfire. Also i had to flash the csc in odin which fixed my menus and signal icons. I debloated my rom and tweaked it also. much faster now and even the internet is more optimized too. so i say this is a good root method.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Great stuff.

Will work on streamlining the process and get some sort of guide up.

I'll need your assistance to just test stuff and fine tune the guide if that's OK?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
thanks for the correction. I have looked on the stock recovery of this device also and have found these unusual options i never seen in any stock recovery before. i have attached an image below showing the options inside the stock recovery. It has reboot to bootloader (which i have found to just reboot to the system) and Mount /System.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
That's pretty standard for stock recovery. There's not a lot that can be done with it outside of flashing official firmware.

This is something that is pretty interesting but sadly it costs $10.00
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
That's just the stock Rom right?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
The stock rom is supposed to be User_low_ship at the end of the file name. but it instead says: User_mid_noship

It appears to be some kind of production build before the final build of the rom was released for shipping the phone out. It is the tmobile variant however. I have looked everywhere for any files for this device and sadly nothing found except stock rom files.

Hmm interesting
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
Hmm, sounds iffy
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
yea it does kinda sound iffy. But anyways i just checked kingroot and they have over 100 requests to root this device. It also says that we gotta wait for an update since it "is not adaptable yet"
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
https://www.facebook.com/kurdishgsm/

A breakthrough has been found for the tmobile variant of our device. An odin flashable auto root file has been released by some arabian people.

If you dont feel like looking through Arabic writing to find the device i have the link to the tar file (which is inside of a zip file) below

https://www.4shared.com/zip/Q2n1fCX3ca/AZ_AUTOROOT_J327T_J327TUVU1AQC.html

update:Files included inside the file is as follows: recovery.img and cache.img
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] lanceola13:
who have tried this root file for the j327t?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
i havent yet the downloaded file isnt in the correct format for odin
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
It's a CFautoroot tar file which is inside the zip.

However I fail to see how it's going to flash on a bootloader locked device.

No one has yet confirmed the status of the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] lanceola13:
its easy to create the format for odin, use 7-zip software to zip the file as .tar format, ensure u select .tar format to compact the files
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
I flashed the tar file in the ap slot and it said this. No changes happend on my phone as far as i can tell.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] lanceola13:
Soo basically this root thing still not working that we found
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
yup sadly
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
When i looked up the specs for our device i have found out that our device runs on a exynos 7570 from my research lately i have found that these devices running this cpu do not have locked bootloaders. But also i found that in download mode it says secure boot enabled but from what i remember most of samsungs phones have that enabled by default.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] lanceola13:
oh noooo. come on samsung give us a release for rooting this j327t1
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
samsung will not willingly make a root for this device. if they did we would have root from day 1 on all devices. which would make the xda community smaller since a majority of people are here to find root for their devices or custom roms for devices which already have root.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] lanceola13:
ok well just hoping for the best that we do get somthing soon for it to root

Does anyone know a way i can hide root from snapchat. We cant use magisk and as far as ik we cant use xposed (yet)
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] MiiJack:
Any reason why Magisk is a no go?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
It changes boot.img which would cause us to lose root or go into a bootloop. But from what im reading xposed may work. They got it to work on the s8 (snapdragon variant) but its unofficial.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] sippiboy83:
the firmware is J327T1TMK1AQK6 that was downloaded now I see that it came from the SamKey Forums as to flash back after unlocking through their service. I will flash the CSC in ODIN now and update see where it comes to. Also I am a total amateur I apologize if I am not giving you the correct info but I flashed system.img, recovery.img, wiped userdata, flashed BL,CP,CSC Files in Flashfire followed by supersu
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
For those who are interested. Also it says verified boot is disabled. (Good sign) but we must be careful as xposed is notorious for soft bricks.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
Why can't you flash "system" Xposed .zip with flashfire ? You can use Xposed without custom recovery & bootloader unlock on some devices .

Now that you have root you should be able to backup your device using adb.

So I see no reason why you couldn't try Xposed .

I never got the device due to root concerns but seems something finally came along as it usually does .:svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
It would be a good idea to factory reset as the eng firmware installs loads of unnecessary stuff to data, having a clean data partition will minimise crashes and errors.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Agreed Xposed should work fine as it installs in system mode.

As long as the data partition is backed up with Flashfire if anything does go wrong it is just a simple case of following the root procedure again and then restoring the data partition.

I notice that for some reason system was set to r/o after my second rooting attempt which made my phone reboot every 5 mins. I have root access but i cannot remount /system as r/w no matter what. Also if you flash stock bootloader everything still works as it should but you wont get kernel panic messages anymore it will just reboot without needing to remove the battery whenever it happens. I strongly encourage people to attempt to make /system r/w before running root script. Also when flashing system.img (stock) through flashfire make sure to check the option to mount as r/w. Also i am making edits to build.prop to disable certain security features that may improve stability. Stay tuned. Also i am compiling a zip file with all the files you would need to run with an instructions txt file with troubleshooting tips once i complete my testing.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
use terminal emulator or use adb shell. type in su and the mount it should say /system and /vender is set to r/w but if not then the only way to fix it is to redo everything.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I suggest you go into the Installer settings and set it to manual install then use Flashfire to install the zip.

I would also reboot more than once if it doesn't become active the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] MiiJack:
Am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
nope your command is fine but that means you need to start over with rooting the device. i had the same issue with my second root attempt. /system wasn't set to r/w for some reason after rooting. i even couldnt install busybox because of it. stay tuned as i am going to work on it in a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
I just re rooted my phone and I can change to r/w now but that is on the eng firmware. I am gonna use flashfire in a min. Also wierdly i had only one kernel panic. Also when flashing you gotta choose mount as r/w or it wont work correctly. Look at the sampwned thread.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
/system shouldn't automatically be set to RW. We'll not with the stock firmware anyway.

To mount /system RW use:

mount -o rw,remount /system
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
I solved the issue but i am still getting kernel panics with either tbase halt or fatal exception. Even with stock. Kinda triggers me bc it happens every 5 mins. Update: Well for some reason they stopped (for now) also i modified build.prop before they stopped.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:

P.S. Shortly I'll be uploading a draught of the guide for you to review with an update to the root process.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] :
Xposed isnt installed. as far as ik its probably the security of the phone still being activated. Also when changing build.prop my about phone settings page changed. The security stuff is gone (where it showed the tima version etc.) All that is left is the ASKS version.
