6.0.1 - boost, the backup i made was the latest from aug 1st, whatever build that was, my backup got corrupted, and wouldn't reflash, so i got the phone booted using this rom.. but since some parts don't match... now the wifi doesn't work, sammobile doesn't have the most current firmware for this phone, on boost.. i'lll probably end up starting a new thread and offering some cash or a giftcard or something for a current backup that's up to date for this phone, that's on boost. somehow, the whole OS got removed, probably due to me doing an advaced wipe, instead of just clearing data... now i am stuck with a phone with no wifi, and no way to get back to the most current stock rom as all the images from sammobile fail with fused 3 binary 1, sw rev check fail. :\ so what do. sorry for taking this thread way off topic, i'll toss cash someones way for their trouble.. if all else fails.. i suppose i'll go rebuy this phone just to make a backup of stock...

i was on 6.0.1 with the security patch of i believe 8/1/17 i don't know the build i believe it ended in QJ3.. I just need a way to either make wifi work with the mixed matched parts i cobbled together for the phone to boot, using this rom, or a stock image of this phone that's most current, flashable with either twrp or odin..

:confused::confused:

post a screenshot of your build info in about phone. Not going to leave you hanging. im zipping a copy of my twrp backup right now to be uploaded

Okay some feedback after testing QF4 Virgin build.

Heres my procedure for flashing.

1. Wiped everything except external.

2. Flashed rom,no immediate reboot 1st try.

3. Flashed xposed next

4. Flashed supersu

5. Flashed verity zip

6. Rebooted.

Rom hung on Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge boot screen without ever leaving it. Had to full wipe again and restore backup.

Next attempt.

1. Flashed rom without flashing anything else.

2. Rebooted.

Rom booted up and even though the rom DOES contain all virgin apps,it never configured itself as a Virgin setup. Was sprint with Sprint Zone app and Sprint version of ID app. Could not use prl update or profile update to get proper settings for service as those are not in Sprint version of rom. Only the update manually or auto options.

So something is not right. I would highly suggest Virgin users make a backup that WORKS when restored or youll end up having to use ODIN to restore device with firnware. I am going to tinker with this build and add in the preconfigured csc folder from my backup which is set to virgin service. And see if the device will default to it. If so I will share it with rom builders to drop in their builds. Post back shortly with results of test.

IDK how anything stuck around from when i pulled it out of the box today, set it up and let it update...

also perhaps the issue is mine is 2017 not a 2016.. DAMN it :|

I can't believe the firmware images avalible are so out of date. ;P sorry for the mess, and the frankenandroid.. :P

Also let me not be so rude and say a proper thank you, it might be broken due to my errors, but this rom brought it back to life none the less, even if it doesn't have wifi. xD and thanks for all your help... what do you think about ads free?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Thank you for your feedback, im am going to start including csc changer to help those getting stuck along with anything you can suggest. I've noted the packages in question and we will make more changes as needed
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
no go on manually adding csc folder from my backup. i do however think i saw a csc file in firmware for virgin. not sure how you would incorperate that info into each carrier variant upon your rom build though as i am unfamiliar with building stock sammy roms. i do believe each of those csc's contain the carrier config for each variant. also something unrelated but thought i would ask. WHY does twrp have option to backup system image (firnware partition i assume)? there is no option to reflash it. all you can do is "restore" it. all that does is just rewrite it back again. which does nothing i can tell. seems redundant and useless actually. would be useful if you could use it as a fall back.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
I notice a significant number of downloads for all rom variants whether it is magisk or traditional. And yet no one has any feedback? Feedback helps work out issues. And considering these builds are alpha at best,feedback would help get them beyond that point.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Here's some Samsung boot animations in white. Backup your current boot animations in system/media then rename these as appropriate for your carrier named one's and shutdown should be the same for all carriers. Just copy it over as is. Reboot. I think they are a nice change over the plain black. Will post a method to revert back to .zip animations once tested.

This is a Stock(ish) version. Just wipe like it says in OP then unzip and RESTORE via twrp. Shouldn't need to erase (from this rom (ie my data)) anything but I guess it's possible. Forgot what all was on my phone when I did the back up lol. Let me know if it works for you

I have tested the second line with my virgin branded device. Didn't use first string as we have the ui built in. So far the subscription prompt has not appeared. Although have not connected anything to it to see if actual data is transferring or null. Just in case it does not,you can install WiFi Tether Router and hotspot will work.

I've tried just straight WiFi Tether Router and haven't had any luck for some reason. I guess I can try again.

I do not assign my own pass and tether name for WiFi tether router. I use the default or it does not work.

Also the two strings above are no good. They get rid of subscription prompt but user can't connect to hotspot.

coming from apl1, all i did was flash the qf4 stock build in twrp and now wifi is broken... great cause it wasnt flashable in odin anyway

Project Abandoned.

What?!!!!? Please no.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
i notice the abandoned post but will post this new info anyway.

While continuing on my end to debug [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] virgin mobile stock custom build QF4 I did get data and rom to switch over to virgin successfully. heres the method i used.

before ever flashing rom and while still using my current virgin setup i used Zipme app to create a flashable zip of my carrier folder,my system/csc folder and finally a copy of my floating_features.xml located in system/etc. once i had the zip built using Zipme i flashed the QF4 build and finished all setup stuff until i was on the homescreen (you wont have data and it will be sprint rom at this point). now reboot and enter recovery and flash the zip you created using Zipme of your files i mentioned above. reboot the device. upon reboot the device will reconfigure the rom automatically to all virgin data settings and apps. now you have a fully working updated to QF4 stock rom. but there is a drawback still remaining. you will also have an unchanged and not root ready bootloader. supersu flashing will hang device and /data is not mountable in twrp.

i think [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] can get the bootloader root ready so supersu will work so i dont see that as a major issue. and with you following proper instructions you can make a flash ready zip BEFORE flashing that will restore your data services and proper carrier info.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
So do we have any hope of lineage port now? Or?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
also of note at least because i was already on QF4. for users who are,if you use your backup of boot,youll be able to still root even this rom as you already have a root ready boot backed up that is essentially same boot.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

depending on what [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] wishes to do,i believe i can get one universal rom built that uses my QF4 backed up and modified boot so supersu flashes without issues and the rom would use three seperate custom built zips that are flashed after one rom boot to launcher. i would need one boost user to upload a copy of their carrier folder zipped,one sprint user to do the same and i will supply the virgin users carrier folder to get everyone on their proper setup using a carrier zip. then i think all of this can be considered a done deal once a new op is done with proper step by step instructions. i am going to do a test build in the morning using my modded boot image then see if supersu flashes okay. and also redo my carrier zip to eliminate all that is not needed. i think only carrier folder is needed. once tested and all works then i will ask for permission to continue from [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION].

remember. im not on a pc. doing this all from my device itself. so dont expect lightining fast updates if i am allowed to continue by Sands207. if he wishes to continue and finish it himself i will be of any assistance i can be and help in whatever way he wishes.

Care to share or is it a secret ? I mean why even post that as an answer ? I don't know anymore than when I asked hehe :)
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Anyone who still has a copy of their carrier variant can succeasfully install Sands207 roms. All you need to do is use Zipme app and make a flashable zip of the system/csc folder that is in your current install. Move that zip to sdcard and rename it carrier.zip. Youll use it after flashing Sands207 carrier variant rom. Install that rom,boot all the way to home screen. Once on home,reboot to recovery and flash your carrier.zip you made with zipme. Upon boot your device will configure to your carrier. I am attempting to actually get Sprint provisioning app to not stall when configuring. Until then you can use above merhod just fine. In fact it should work on any samsung rom 6.0.1 rom that has been released by sprint,boost and virgin that is experiencing this same issue.

As you can see by my build type,I am running QF4 Build by Sands207

Its over and done with now and it was because people tend to brick/break phones while hurry and skip directions and then write me all pissed after. I re-uploaded most of our files and the other reason i got pissed was because we got hacked a few weeks ago and the person deleted a bunch of my work with other projects too, years long work... and after spending days working on this project amd just hearing "its broken" it finally got to me. I love xda just didn't understand the hate I'M NOT HERE TO BREAK YOUR PHONES [emoji23] We are here to provide a good, useful experience and to help others. ill update the op shortly but i need to pull my version of the virgin build because it keeps defaulting to sprint.

Threats? Thats funny. F*ck em bro. Learn to read and follow directions and you wouldnt have any issues that are not expected with builds that are trying to sort out the issues. Ungrateful lot of hairy pubes. You got my support fully. I was rather enjoying testing them out and trying to find solutions. Actually I think we could call them early final roms with the guide on how to backup and restore the system/csc folder. As the connectivity issue was the only one these roms had.

Followed instructions exactly. (not new to this root /flashing rom deal) when I try and flash the unsigned version the second it starts to flash the phone goes black screen. Touching screen vibrates like something is there but I can't see it. trying to flash the signed one, everything goes smooth. Followed instructions and phone hangs on Sprint screen. Waited over hour. Nada. Any ideas? Gonna try the alpha 2 later..... Flashed alpha 2 same thing screen goes black. Cannot see anything. Any ideas.

The aroma installer versions make my screen go black. Cannot see it. When u touch anywhere on screen it vibrates. Im flashing the j3_Emerge_Custom_By_Sands207@XDA_SIGNED.zip one. It completes install. But when booting it stays on Sprint screen forever. As in 2hrs later nothing. I've tried wiping data formatting data. Flashing patch before install, after ect. Every different possible way. Nothing. And of course (because it's not my main phone (I found it) I didn't make a backup) so I'm trying to figure out why 1.it wont boot. And 2. Why the aroma goes black.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
If you modify the sw_configuration.xml file for each carrier rom you should get instant carrier config upon rom bootup. in the xml you need to remove all customer src= lines except for the carrier you want configured. for instance you would edit out all except the virgin line for a virgin rom variant,all except boost line for a boost variant. and so forth. also of note users should not do a format data in twrp where you enter yes in order to format data,nor do i reccomend a hard nor safe format in aroma as they caused saved carrier info to be lost and efs backup seemed to make no difference. I suggest losing the efs backup option along with hard and soft formats for aroma. In twrp all you need to do is go to wipe,advanced and do standard wipe from there. all but external sdcard. upon boot with this method you should be configured pretty much instantly. also for Sands roms only,you need to add into the rom

system/csc folder

and the following files /system

csc_version.txt

sw_configuration.xml

it would help novice users if the boot image is already pre patched for root.

thats it for now lol

edit: this post is primarily for Sands only so he can get out the only kinks left,but the twrp info for wiping is so users do that properly to avoid issues.

I've tried a lot of things I've found on internet and YouTube. Virgin mobile couldn't fix it, Samsung rep couldn't either, they gave me a ref.# to go to a Best Buy store and see the Samsung rep, I want to be unrooted, and have the stock recovery on there in hopes of them not saying they can't help me because of warranty issues

Please someone upload a stock recovery image, I go to see them tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Shouldnt flashing back previous boot image in twrp,THEN the previous build rom resolve this? I do believe I read that applying the latest firmware patch would prevent rollback to previous versions. But wouldnt that apply only to using Odin to reflash the previous build? Not up to speed on this to be honest.
