After unlock

After the phone is unlocked it should be easier to root it. I have a few more days in my service cycle till I reach the phone active 90 days to get the free unlock. After that I'll start trying to figure out how to flash it again

Hello,

like you'll see I'm new here. My problem is, that i can't root my european Galaxy J3 (2017).

Model-No is SM-J330F/DS.

Is it just me or is every single root-method actually a fake for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] HACK3DANDR0ID:
My J727T is carrier unlocked because i bought it outright at full retail. I dont know how an carrier unlocked device would change anything. Our bootloader is locked which has nothing to do with being carrier unlocked...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] adfree:
Sorry for Hijacking Thread... :D

Maybe I will buy SM-J330F in Germany as it is cheap... 200 Euro...

and seems no Fingerprint Sensor. :good: :cool:

For Germany DBT I found latest Firmware:

J330FXXU1[B]AQH2[/B]

Please.

Can I root SM-J330F

:confused:

If yes, how?

Maybe somebody can please give Link to Instruction...

Thanx in advance.

Best Regards

if you want to bypass the 8gb hotspot limit you have to use foxfi and enable proxy in the app. if you set it correctly on your pc or gaming console it will not use data. no root is required anymore. i downloaded a full game on my ps4 using my hotspot and it hasn't used any data except my normal data and that doesn't matter since i have unlimited lte data.

I successfully rooted my J327U witb Chainfire's CF Autoroot (the T-Mobile variant J327T) via Odin.

After Root I installed Flashfire ( also by xda-developer Chainfire). I'm still playing with the app's various features but so far it is pretty awesome definitely an app I'll be making a donation to this next paycheck) you'll be able to make a backup of your device with it. Hope this helps.

if i used the CFauto root would that allow me to root the tmobile variant?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6722106:
It wont work. The tmobile variant and even the metropcs variant is bootloader locked therefore you cannot flash anything. I have a metropcs variant and everyone else in another thread has also. Me and a few others have tried for months to get root and it failed miserably. I suggest buying the sm-j327u. You can get it on samsung.com

Hello guys!

I've spent my day trying to root my J330FN without any succes.. I've found an option in developer menu to allow OEM to be unlocked.

I only need root, not custom recovery...

Please do you have a suggestion?

Rooting shouldn't be a problem for this device

Post some specifics on what you have tried and the reason for failure.

I should be able to get something up if you post the details above and your firmware details.

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ this should help. the firmware for the device is here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-J330FN/ make sure to choose your carrier along with the correct country. the cf autoroot for the j330f is on the firmware.mobi site it should work if you use odin. if it fails to flash or something goes wrong you should have your stock firmware.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply back to you, I live right in the middle of the northbay California winecountry wildfires that devistated Santa Rosa, CA. so it's been somewhat crazy here.

The CF Autoroot that I used on my J327U is for the T-Mobile (J327T). I'm not sure if they started locking down their bootloaders, so you'll have to perform due dilligence on that end. If you do decide to give it a go, make sure you enable USB debugging and OEM unlock under developer options.

I used the same app and used proxy but just saying if you use your ps4 (setup for the proxy on pdanet or foxfi) it will only work for soo long because depending on what your doing on the internet with your ps4 it may or may not count data.

Thats the thing:

Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode. [DONE]

Uncheck Auto reboot. [DONE]

Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start. [DONE]

After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN. [THIS FAILS. I can only get out of download mode by holding POWER UP and DOWN + HOME + POWER. After that, no dice.... I have tried holding recovery keys at several moments, and it surely doesnt respond to it in download mode, no matter how long i press the buttons. And i cannot find a way to easily get into the back cover. All video's show that i need to pull off the display first. #notgonnadothat]

As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME. [NOT HAPPENING]
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Well if you're not prepared to follow instructions that works on every Samsung device released in the last few years then you'll never have twrp. I guess this is a no go for you. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] IlConsiglieri:
I didnt mean to say i will not perform the mentioned steps, but i will not tear off my screen to get to the battery. Sorry if i was misleading in any way.

To be clear:

I am in download mode, flash the image, then try to power the phone off by holding the power button for minutes.... nothing

Then i tried to press and hold the HOME + POWER + VOLUME UP...still nothing

Then i tried to press and hold the HOME + POWER + VOLUME DOWN...still nothing

Then i tried to press and hold the HOME + POWER + VOLUME UP. + VOLUME DOWN..it reboots two times, then goes to the Samsung logo and is not rooted.

I figured that i might, at some point after doing the HOME + POWER + VOLUME UP. + VOLUME DOWN thing, i needed to press the HOME + POWER + VOLUME UP keys to get into recovery mode, but it just reboots twice, then goes to the Samsung logo and is not rooted.

When i read that a battery pull after flashing the image should work, i have searched the web for any hints on how to do that with this phone, i only found instructions that show a hairdryer is needed to take of the display module, then unscrew the mainboard frame, then the battery can be disconnected. It's this part that i simply cannot do.

I hope this clears up things.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You don't need to remove anything. Just hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN in that order until it reboots then just change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons to get into recovery.

It really is as simple as that.

POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN + VOL UP has no function on a Samsung device.

Whatever happens there is merely a consequence of holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.

If you cannot follow the above instructions then just don't uncheck auto reboot.

Just get ready with POWER + HOME + VOL UP as soon as it auto-reboots.

Takes precision to get it right.

Ok. I got it to boot into TWRP. I did screw up with the no-verity-no-encryption patch by installing SuperSu and the patch right after each other. I rebooted, wiped data as instructed, then installed the patch again. It took a loooooong time to boot. I was asked to update TWRP app, and did so. The strange thing is though, that i installed SuperSu from the playstore app and it stated no root... :S

Can I swap motherboard from real s7 edge to demo unit, will phone calls etc... work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] phreich:
I don't know, but I am going to attempt it.

Hi all,

I am going to attempt to replace the motherboard in a Galaxy S7 G930X (demo model without cellular radios), with a motherboard from a G930P (sprint model) that has a broken screen and LCD, but boots and has a clean IMEI number.

I have searched this forum to see if anyone else has done a cross-swap like this, but have found no answers except one failed attempt back in January 2017, and the guy was going to try again with a different motherboard -- but didn't update the thread to let us know how it worked out.

I'd really like to hear from others if they have had any issues doing motherboard swaps between carriers on the S7s. I understand that the hardware is about the same between the S7 and the S7 Edge, but I am not brave enough to attempt that swap.... Besides, I think there is special software to do special "edge" things that probably would mess things up in a plain S7....

Thanks in advance,

Philip

P.S. I will update this and the January 2017 thread with my results once I get the phones in hand and the replacement glass battery cover that I ordered from China. So be patient -- it may take a while for it all to get here....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] phreich:
Well, my first attempt didn't work out the way I had hoped.

Rather than post the results on multiple threads, here's a link to a new thread I started that documents the whole saga: starting with the reason I attempted this, the research done, the models purchased, the actual results from the attempt that documents what is different between the LDUs and their fully functional counterparts and the difficulties encountered, the alternative swap that was performed successfully, and some parting thoughts.

Here's the title and link to the post:

"Swap a good donor motherboard into a G930X LDU (Live Display Unit)? VERY HARD."

[General Questions and Answers] seiern:
Hi all,

Friend of my accidentally cleared all his content on his Samsung Galaxy S8 (not rooted). From what I understood this was done remotely by erasing the phone using Android device manager. The phone has not been touched after the erase.

What I was hoping to achieve is to restore the content/phone as it was before the erase. If its not possible to restore the phone I would like to recover as much content as possible and export content, import back to phone using SD card or PC. As a minimum requirement I should be able to recover user data such as SMS, Caller log, images, video etc and if possible import option without too much hassle.

There are tons of recovery applications for Android online, any recommendations and methods preferred?

Looking forward to hear from you!

Amazon (at least in the United States) sells the G5 Plus either with Amazon Prime subsidized ads/offers for a reduced cost, or a G5 Plus that is

NOT

subsidized by Amazon Prime and does not contain ads or offers but is more expensive.

If you buy the non subsided version (ie, the Standard Version - Without Offers & Ads) then you do not need to remove the ads since they are not present. If you buy the subsided version that comes with ads then you can block/remove the ads. Search the forum for discussions on how to block or remove the ads from the Amazon Prime subsided version. For example here is one such discussion on how to block or remove the Amazon ads on the Amazon Prime subsided G5 Plus: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/amazon-ads-removal-moto-g5-t3598515

The Standard Version - Without Offers & Ads

CAN

be rooted. Search the forum for threads on how to root the phone. For example here is one discussion: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-root-moto-g5-plus-t3579659

The Amazon Prime subsided version

CANNOT

be rooted. More information on what Moto phones can be rooted (unlocked bootloader) can be found at this Lenovo/Moto link: https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS87215

I too have a few similar questions, my LG G3 is getting a bit busted after 2 years of going strong, I was considering this device for a bit, in my country the model XT1685 is listed online the 32/3 model, so:

1. Is this model rootable?

2. Does it have development? Because I'm spoiled for choice of ROMs and Kernels on the G3.

3. In the development section the ROM threads do not mention which models do they support... does that mean all models use a similar ROM?

You can download the full firmware directly from honor, unzip it, and place the update.app file in a dload folder that you create on your sd card.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] LinuxKernel:
I had the same problem once.

You can try to flash the cust partition of your phone. The "device verification failed"-message should disappear then. It's not enough to only flash boot, system and recovery. If there is a problem with the cust partition of your phone you can also have problems with flashing stock roms via "dload"-method.

1. Download the right stock firmware via the huawei firmware finder. You usually have two .zip files (e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip). The image file for the cust partition can be found in the update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip (choose the right one for your model).

2. Unpack update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip and extract the cust partition with the huawei firmware extractor.

3. Put your phone into fastboot mode

4. Use the following command: fastboot flash cust cust.img

5. Try to boot into your stock rom.
