What build did your phone come with?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
thats where my help ended. without knowing the build,I couldnt direct to correct firnware. could flash all of them until you ended up with right one. but thats a lot of downloading. and if the device by chance was updated to latest and there is no full firnware for that version...then downgrade is out. would pretty much be a coffee table coaster.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Slothyhuman:
i forgot to check this site and its been awhile but no i have not figured it out do you have a solution?

What??
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Atownpanther:
the only way odin would connect to mine was when i would put phone in download mode,,connect to usb then open the odin app..odin would not work if the app was open before i hooked phone to usb,,also i used odin 3.10.7..seemed to work better for my j3 emerge

GUYS NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE T_T

My father sent me this phone as a gift and I am in Philippines now but when I put my local simcard it says invalid simcard. Now I know this is locked to Sprint as seen in the device infos and at the back. How do I unlock this? I've been searching the net for how many hours now still no luck. T_T Is there a custom ROM that is global that works to all network please? If you have any other idea how to unlock this please share it to me!

I tried setting up Samsung Tool Pro but I cannot get pass the Z3X Smart Card I can't use the program. T_T

I'm using Windows 10 64bit if that helps.

Please :(
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SammaelAkuma:
You need to call Sprint to have them unlock it. There aren't many software unlocks for Android phones nowadays.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] liddx:
The problem is I already lost the Sprint sim that came with it. :/

Do you happen to know any global ROM? Doesn't matter if it has bugs or whatsoever. I just want the sim card to work here locally.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SammaelAkuma:
Global ROMs have no bearing on whether or not a SIM works with the device or not. If the hardware is not UNLOCKED by the CARRIER, it will not work. Regardless of software.

Call up SPRINT and have them unlock it. There are no ROMs for the J327p that allow a non-Sprint SIM to work on a Sprint phone.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
He's right, until you have a sim we cannot do much to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] liddx:
It's weird also because it doesn't ask me for an unlock code. I can still use the phone but only says 'simcard invalid'. I searched the net and found out that there should be a code for it to be unlocked.

Anyway I will try to email Sprint support. Thanks guys! Will update you if how things goes.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Excellent! Please let us know if you are successful ?

My final roms and any remaining work will be posted this weekend as time allows. I'm moving on to a new device, the moto e4. I'll request this thread be closed after. [MENTION=8293730]SonderTech[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4833056]curtis a[/MENTION]nd many others have made great strides as far as development goes so thank you both!! We now have a device tree as well.

Going to miss you. You and Sondertech got the roms out,I was just helpful more than anything. I will be around for some time to come. Have decided to stay with the J3 for a bit longer. So people can expect to at least see something stock for virgin. shouldnt be an issue to get boost and sprint users a variant.

Apologize for being out of the loop for a bit, I'm not a big poster but I do alot of research and flashing on my own device. J327P BST unfortunately with AQJ3 Firmware now which I'm trying to find a "work around for" possibly modyfying the original APL1 with files from CP and AP files from new firmware to bypass the "binary" fails in ODIN. I'm still a very interested and serious tester. back into the phone hacks again after a long few months. I'm not a genious like you or Mr. ASHYX (Samsung GOD, thanks ASHYX) but I'm no noob and I have the experience to not only do alot of this myself and do my own testing ROM creations, (Kitchen Style), currently working on one for QJ3 for the unfortunates like me, but I enjoy it and PM me if I can help.

BTW I could use a link to the ENG_boot from the original firmware if anyone could provide. I lost a drive, looking for it, just kinda lazy. Worst case I'll pull it from AP. Thanks.

QI2(my ROM base in signature) is rootable as that's what I'm running currently and yeah, Pear Launcher is decent. Not as featureful as Nova Launcher, but does the job.

Been trying to find an ODIN package of the latest firmware to roll out a new ROM base, but no such luck for Boost Mobile anyways. Found one for Sprint on AFH.

Sorry, life keeps getting in the way. I'm on QL3 firmware, trying to downgrade to qf4 or apl1 whatever. anythings better than these new updates. Currently working on finishing up my own ROM for ql3 before i try downgrading. Almost done and it should be pretty decent. Rooted, BB, Xposed, misc tools etc, all included. Just finished tonight. bought to try out first flash. I just need to find the thread with stock ql3 firmware first just in case, lol... My carrier is boost. I believe my csc is set for XAS though? its got the XAS boot logos and other sprint apps, ringtones etc, probably from me screwing with others.xml files. But works fine. I have almost every edition of firmware from apl1 to qb6 including og twrp by ashyx and eng_boot.tar. PM me if I can help. I GOT a Kindle Fire HD 10 for XMAS and its for my girlfriend so I left my j327p alone for a while messing ith it, but I'm pretty much at a standstill with the tablet while the bootloader issue is being sorted out. But it's tought me alot about abd sideload and fastboot commands, so been a whole new learning experience that just adds to the android experience. Just wanna thank you for your deddication to this project and thread, been reading through the whole thing for the past 2 hrs, there's some good info here.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Format data and then reboot twrp to check if it is mounted before you do the install and flash [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] patch for encryption no verity after your rom and you should be set
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:
I think the broken and data issue comes from the ashyx patch from what i can see i tried the patch on the stock rom and it broke wifi so i installes the custom rom and the same thing right after the patch

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

I made sure i was on the right firmware before the flash
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
What carrier are you using? I'll look into this today
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:
Sprint is my carrier
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Try this please. Wipe everything except External SD, flash the ROM wipe cache and dalvik and THEN format data by typing YES in twrp wipe options, reboot recovery check if data and or storage is mounted and apply the patch and then boot into Android. [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] am i missing any steps?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
It's highly unlikely that the patch has caused the wifi issue directly, if at all. Its unusual and not something I've come across before.

The steps above seem correct enough, it's not strictly necessary to reboot to recovery, it can all be done in the same session.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:
I figured the problem out it wasn't the patch it was Sprint blocking my wifi because my bill is past due how can a carrier block wifi I verified this by removing the sim card after I went back to the stock rom and still had wifi issues the sim card removal did the trick

It's a new one on me! :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:

Hello,

I'm reading up as much as possible on this device, as I just purchased a Sprint j327p, and then found it had no lineageOS support.

Am I correct in understanding that what you're doing here has nothing to do with Lineage, and instead just allows the user to flash recovery onto the device and facilitate root access? Or are you making actual lineageOS builds for people?

I have about 36 hours to decide if I should return the device, so I'm trying to figure out my chances for having proper Lineage support in the near-term. FWIW- thanks for all the work you're doing. Sorry if some of this information is well-known or reported elsewhere, but my head is spinning from the amount of info I've had to try and absorb over the last few hours.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
You can't downgrade, anymore. In terms of stock firmware, you can go to sammobile.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
We can, we just need to start disabling frp bypass, dm-verity and force-encryption for each respective builds boot.img so we can go up or down. there are five files in /system/lib that are knox related (libknox) and the kitchens do not remove them by default. im pretty sure the anti rollback is coded into this area so we need to manually remove them pre-build.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Ah, so are there any more Knox related files that we would have to remove manually?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
besides anything that is knox labeled and lookout these libs always stick so now i just pull them as im trimming down /app and /priv-app since they are close in the source directory
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
I'll definitely do that, in my next builds.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
I tried a build removing the knox libs and Rom just hung at boot screen. I will look through build again for anything else that may be remnants. Any suggestions or thoughts you can add that might help out?

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
No problem. I was off most of yesterday and today due to flashing apnhlos to wrong part of system partition. Twrp names the modem backup and apnhlos backup mdm and modem. So you have to guess...and in Stock rom the true modem can be confused with the wrong file so you end up with no data,no WiFi and sim is not recognized at all. So after much examination I figured out my error and am back on. I am experimenting with the AQF1 eng boot for our device. Mainly because it's only eng boot close in release number to AQF4. Hoping to get it to run with AQF4 without losing WiFi...it is full permissive and root can be flashed from su zip without boot being modified. It works great except for the WiFi issue which I think are related to version differences. There are other eng boots. APL1 has one as does newer builds as well. You guys on newer builds might be able to just use eng boot for your roms with absolutely no issues at all. As for me I will keep plugging away at this eng boot as there appears to be no AQF4 eng boot that I can find.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
