If your trying to keep everything stock including the recovery then I know of a root method
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] djmixer36:
A little bit, I believe I used it to root my Optimus V. That is if it hasn't changed too drastically in the last few years.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Try using magisk then
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] djmixer36:
Is there a reliable, simple enough guide out there you trust using magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Yea the person that made magisk posted the adb instructions on the magisk thread

Device tree is being built, can always use more help though!:D:D:D

Thank you for any support you think this work is worth

Link pulled to change SELINUX back to enforcing ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Coeur Brisé:
i manually downgraded the build version using the method windwaker mentioned earlier, how shpuld i get back up to aqi2 so i can test?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Coeur Brisé:
made a bit of a mistake last night which just vexed me upon waking up, but i decided to flash the build and well it bootlooped not suprisingly, so used my latest restore from about 3 days ago and well it booted back up with everything as it was but im locked out of my device even tho i am entering the correct pin.

Edit: I have resolved the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Hi,

Can you elaborate a bit? When you say resolved, where you able to boot the ROM or your backup? I thought about what could have prevented you from booting and aside from firmware issues you have faced plus the fact selinux was changed to permissive in this test build, I went back and made a second build with selinux set back to enforcing to hopefully help you. I also uploaded the newest odin build to hopefully help others getting stuck. The trick with ROM flashing and ODIN is whether you are downgrading or upgrading, for a true fresh start obiviously untick auto reboot and the second and likely more important piece is to make sure nand erase all is ticked this OVERWRITES your current firmware when used with the included pit file...that will end the ap1 and qi2 woes people are facing hopefully. Everything from the last 24 hours is here, thank you for your feedback [MENTION=6283941]Coeur Brisé[/MENTION] https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz99NuhE3XwmUkE5MlB0Y1pVcVU?usp=sharing
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Coeur Brisé:
I was able to find a zip that deletes the lockscreen settings flashable through recovery. Now im back in with pin lock set up.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
ok good, thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Coeur Brisé:
clean flashed in odin, flashed twrp, flashed permissive and gapps. still hangs not sure why. repeated the process but left everything stock, phone boots fine. am going to try enforcing now.

Edit: flashed enforcing version, if this thing still doesnt boot i give up.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Ok. My apologies, im likely to abandon this soon. It's getting a tad bewildering, I've sure tried like hell tho
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Coeur Brisé:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
No worries, i love this stuff ?Im going to take a crack at it tonight or tomorrow on my j3 and see if can't get this figured out
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] chaochaps:
So I've been trying your latest build for the past couples of days, and it seems to always get hand on the android boot logo till the battery dies. I've tried everything you've said in the thread and nothing. Any other suggestions you may recommend? Thanks for your effort in this custom rom!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Could you try removing the battery after a clean flash? and then see if it gets past that. All that im guessing is that i pulled a package accidentally during the build package that was likely needed. I'm making another build and ill go through odin to update to qi2 and then go first, i feel bad about this recent build but I'm going to keep working with you all til we get this right. Thank you for your feedback ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] chaochaps:
Ahh yes I've done that too, and it still hangs on the logo. I appreciate your effort in this rom, as it seems to be the only one for the J327P, everything else is for FN. I have hope with this!!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SammaelAkuma:
If I could find a Linux compatible Kitchen that's up to date and doesn't require one to donate(I think it's in poor taste to require one to donate to get the up to date cross platform version), I'd have at least started to work on a releasable version of my ROM that's in my signature. But we still have big hopes for the future for this phone, between Nougat, possibly Oreo, and your device tree work and subsequent ports. :p
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Have you tried the BBQLinux distro?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SammaelAkuma:
I'm on the base of BBQLinux(which is Arch Linux). So, in a way, yes, I have tried it. Hence why I've yet to find an up-to-date Custom ROM Kitchen that you don't have to donate to get. Can't compile AOSP or any of the ones BBQLinux is geared towards compiling if the device tree isn't ready. Plus would take me forever to download the source and compile. Using a cellphone's hotspot for internet and this laptop only has 4GB of RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Ah. I understand. Not sure what to tell you tbh. Unless....have you tried compiling from sources? (granted that it'll take forever to download)
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I have, thats how im building the device tree but im also in the same boat tethering w my phone to my router with a linux box older than the dinosaurs til i build my next replacement but tbh im not working w much help i don't have sh*t for resources thats why im trying to get better at this so i may be able to upgrade over time but so far I've never even been given a donation of a dollar and my roms have been downloaded over a few thousand times now. Thats why i keep asking for help, this project is important to me and i WILL see it through ? I don't care about the money ? I want us to have amazing daily drivers and more importantly choices ?

No, I've been VERY sick with pneumonia, hold tight man. Once I'm well ill resume my work, im on the tail end of it now. Health comes first, if I'm dead i truly cannot help you! I had a heart attack at 31 so im trying to rest and avoid any more...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] John877:
Can you link them here when you've posted? The xda forums for me are huge and confusing to navigate.

As for your health, of course your health comes first and sorry to hear about the heart attack, that couldn't have been fun I'd imagine. :(

Currently I am trying to figure out if its even possible to reverse the knox count of 0x1. I was starting to have possible screen issues where it'd start getting lines all over and it wouldnt matter if I was in a video or a game or the home screen even. It gets so bad it's almost blurry. Weird thing is, when I had root and xposed installed I never installed anything that would overclock or mes with the video card or anything like that. I just did UI customization type stuff and got rid of the wake on plug/unplug charger and battery full.

Another question I'm looking for help on is every night at midnight exactly, my sound goes to full mute, screen timeout goes to default 15sec, wifi shuts off, and brightness goes to like 20%. It would seem that its some app like Greenify or Better Battery Stats or something but since I'd last flashed I didnt install those but I did install one called Doze and Hibernator to see the options. Ive also since uninstalled them but it keeps happening. I've been through all the options too.

Anyway, feel better.

i am on AQF4 with Virgin and was able to install twrp and root fine. i tried this rom and had some issues. first was only 1x data roaming and the other was the rom contained the sprint version of zone and voicemail. never could get the data sorted and twrp was having errors performing a wipe as well to get me back to my backup which i eventually was able to do by restoring my backup over this rom then rebooting recovery and finally full wipe worked so i could properly restore backup. i will state i did a full wipe before install. skipped the dalvik cache and cache wipe and the battery pull so either these were my issue or this plus my original build did not match this one. so i dont chalk this up to builder error but rather my own reluctance to READ lol
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
I'm confused, I just bought this phone at Wal-Mart, so I figure this is the 2017 model, but the build # is MMB29M.J327PVPU1APL1

What do you think, am I good to root n flash?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
your build matches that of the one in the original post. i think you will be fine installing twrp and root. not sure about installing the rom as it is a walmart buy. that is if its the straighttalk variant. if its just a boost or virgon buy at walmart then you can most likely flash the rom.

I just downloaded the zip file from your post from Drive, and I can't get any file explorer(X-plore, ES and FX File Explorers) to open it. FX opens a previous version and shows the tar.md5's- AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME_CSC. But it can't extract them.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Would love to. But no time due to work. Although I have managed to get FM Radio working.

Navigate to system/csc and open features.xml. set both fmradio features to true.

Next open build.prop and edit the following line from false to true.. ro.fm.transmitter=true .

Then navigate to system/priv-app and create folder FMRadio and copy the below FM Radio into folder...set permissions on folder to 0755 and app to 0644 and reboot . (I use root explorer to set permissions.)

Upon reboot launch the FM Radio app with headphones plugged in and scan for stations.

I will contribute when and where I can. Thank you all for all contributions you make. :)

"J327PVPU1AQF4"

FYI for anyone running " BOOST MOBILE .. AQF4 " Software, I successfully flashed this today with IMO, only minimal issue. Apon initial boot, I had no data as OP warned & wifi would not turn on. After quickly skipping through setup though, I was able to add a Boost APN in Settings/Connections/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and have perfect LTE/3G data signal. Been running for several hours now with multiple reboots & data signal has been perfect. Wifi is still broken, but I'm going to look into it shortly. If I can find a solution, I'll be sure to post it. Been a while since I've done any Dev work so I'm rusty. I'll see if I can help though. Overall, this runs very well & is a nice improvement from basic stock build. Awesome job [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] ?

Hey sands, you asked for logcats but that's for apps after you're booted into android. Is there a way to capture one from twrp (I think there is) for when booting roms?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
there is, let recovery load for 2 mins and the i believe it is along the lines of like adb pull /tombstones from non booting roms and from a phone past the boot animation try adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
You like me are on the AQF4 build. That may explain why your Wi-Fi is broken. I suspect modem issues due to our build. With me my data also goes to 1x data roaming only as I am on virgin and the rom installs as Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Max Frost:
Try flashing this from recovery and pick your provider . After you boot up go to apns and reset to default . You might want to backup your current apn or save a copy of it but this will change sprint to boost etc . I've been using this for mvno providers .It works fine on Samsung devices . https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24531035584725098

I originally found this nice fix at https://androidforums.com/threads/a...-lg-volt-on-cm13-cm12-other-roms-too.1024839/ . You can find more info and directions there and the OP is the creator and deserves all credit . I can't swear this will fix everything here but it's worth a try .

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I have considered magisk but with multiple builds and devices to work with (I am also working on other devices still) if people want to go that route i can make unrooted builds so folks can use their stock boot.img to install it but magisk isn't perfect and does have drawbacks. The reason i suggest phh superuser is so we can have compatibility with viper4android and others that need a permissive su solution. The logcat command i posted previously is also included in this post adb logcat > ~/log.txt but any logcat is helpful whether by app or adb it really helps to know whats working or not. Thank you!
