There's no root for this device. Also, I doubt we will ever see root for this device. It has very small user base. I got mine for free with a free Amazon 1 year activation key, so no complaints.

When turning it on in cold weather, the task switch menu pops up and stays there for couple seconds, which is kind of annoying. Only happens when left in a cold environment. I was looking for root to disable soft-keys and enable on-screen menu key, but no luck.

Completely blown away by how they seem to neuter this j7prime phone which is suppose to be the successor? Hope to see root but it also doesn't seem likely as well.

Anyone know what case works on this phone? seems the ebay listing for j7prime doesn't exactly fit this phone; not surprising anymore since a brand name seems to be different across providers and regions!? Gonna have to buy a non carrier phone from now on.

Umm cases are sometimes difficult to come by but I know they sell cases at the mall near my house at some kiosk, also at Metro PCS, but I bought my case at Wal-Mart maybe about 2 months ago. It was actually an otter box and fits like a glove. This phones decent, sometimes can lag but otherwise I gave up on root hopes.

Only thing that could work

Ok how to do it, but some one could download the firmware from sammobile or what ever. Open the files and find out what codes to put where to have rooted firmware zip back up and upload to the internet that could be the only way around not having oem unlocked. I have downloaded firmware like this for other devices but Idk how to do the to do that exactly.

It's pointless, whoever posted that obviously doesn't own the device and hasn't got a clue.

All it's likely in succeeding to do do is soft brick the device if it even flashes at all which is unlikely.

So i subscribed to this thread just to see if people really like this phone. After going to Metropcs and seeing what the latest phones. Turns out that i can't find a good reason to upgrade from the J700. No super Amoled, no front flash, still the same screen size and after playing with it. It just feels like a downgrade, i don't know. The only good thing about it is that it is black and has 32gb of storage which i thought it was going to be different from the 16GB version. Nope, same hardware with 32gb. I suppose the cpu is faster than the J700, but by how much faster?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Picked up a J727t1 as a backup phone for my note 8. So far it seems fairly decent. I only want root so I can get rid of the MetroPCS splash screen and some built in apps. Aside from that, it runs surprisingly smooth. It's odd that there's no fingerprint reader though.

I'll just have to keep my eye out in this thread. Hopefully someone finds a way to root :)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] creep138:
You can debloate, just downgrade to aqg1 and use a root package disabler cause they don't work on current firmware from my tests cause Knox kicks it for me. With it debloated, it eats on average 20% ram idle. You do lose restore from Samsung's side doing it which is a bummer.

Also, I use substratum and Google apps to get a black theme all around (swift black) with Nova launcher and 523 dpi. Sure paid apps, but worth it looking like stock Android.

No root, but there are work arounds if you only Google how to's and what not's
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
So you're telling me the j727t1 can be downgraded and rooted ( you mention the root package disabler )?

I was just researching to see if there's any unbranded firmware we could flash but I've seen where some have tried in other j7 models and lost 16 of their 32gb storage ( likely wrong pit file? ).

Id even be ok with stock TMobile firmware flashed but it seems all theirs are 16gb models too ( j727t vs j727t1 ). Didn't want to try using Comsey Odin with the TMobile package until I see something more definitive as to whether it works or not.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] creep138:
Sorry, just a package disabler. Just so use to calling them "root" blah blah. Downgrading does work, I'm just not to sure how far back you can go. Plus all our firmware is 7.0. I'll download the first fw sammobile has to give a few root methods a try if it flashes

Yeah I've heard about flashing other carrier firmwares do work, just haven't tried myself as the 16-32 gb mess is in my way.

I know what I did was a pain, but I feel it's worth it. I only miss root for flashing roms when I needed breaks from the same old
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] xdause:
where's the link to root SM-J727T1? This phone does not have oem unlock option so bootloader is locked. Unless an oreo update changes that; I wouldn't mess with it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] DroidJP:
I am watching this thread even though i do not own this phone. The fact that there is no oem unlock on this phone makes me wonder if this is how it is going to be on future phones. I was reading regarding about anti-theft security on phones. By not having the option to toggle to oem unlock makes the phone more secure by forcing frp to be enabled once you link your google account to your phone. But this still does not explain why international phones do have this option available though.

In a nutshell, no oem unlock=no root or anything custom. If this is where Samsung is taking things from here on out. It is going to be a long time before anyone can figure out how to force unlock. Otherwise, no more root on Samsung devices.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
No that's not true at all. You are completely incorrect.

I have the note 8 with locked BL and no OEM unlock. Root was achieved using combo firmware and eng-boot. We still have no unlocked BL so we don't have custom recovery though. I'm hoping something similar will eventually be worked out for us here as well. I'll send the dev in my note8 group a message to see if it's possible for us here with the j7 prime.

Edit:

We don't have custom recovery but flashfire does work. Just figured I'd mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Correct, we have just achieved root on the J327t which also has a locked bootloader and no OEM UNLOCK option.

If the J327t system image could be flashed to the J727t then root would be possible.

However I'd have to check the partition sizes.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Sadly I think it's an entirely different phone. Quad core, 1.5gb ram different gpu....etc. The image wouldn't work.

I messaged the dev who found samfail and asked for info ( what we need ).
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Only way is going to be an engineering boot or system image at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Yep. We need an engineer boot at minimum.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] DroidJP:
I stay incorrected. I was going by the previous posts on this thread and it sounded like that there was no hope for the J7 prime and turns out there is hope after all . But, was not completely incorrect as far as custom recoveries goes. But any progress is better than none. At some point i will be upgrading phones, maybe not this one but whatever Samsung comes out loke the GS9. So i am guessing no more oem unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
I was advised we need a combo file and engboot. Once we have that, rooting should be possible. I'm starting to do some digging now :) Hopefully someone knows someone who knows someone at Samsung lol

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Ok so I found a combo file. We still need engboot. Once we have that, I'll ask if he can help with root for the j727 using his samfail method. Definitely need both before we can try to proceed though.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You need eng root boot not eng boot or an eng system image. However as far as I'm aware neither is available.

If one does pop up from some where the method we've used for the J327T could be used.

Enabling Bootloader to get Root

So I have been following this thread as I too am looking to Root my j727t1 with a locked Bootloader by MetroPCS. I tried using Odin 3 and a prepared tar but it couldn't get past "initializing" and this is because their isn't a way to unlock that Bootloader in developer options. I think we are all on that same page now, right?

Well I'm about to try this method:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-samsung-galaxy-t3409080

Which supposedly can unlock Bootloader on this phone. Whereas then I could get root via Odin...

But I feel I may be jumping the gun, it sounds like this is for a phone that already has Root. Anyone know for sure? Either way I will be attempting this in a few. Will post my results or lack there of.

combo file should already have engboot built in. to test if you can get root in adb shell use su and if it changes to root then you got the engboot.

So fake, oem unlock is what gave it away. It's not that it is fake. It's more of a generic steps for Samsung phones. The author is just assuming that this will work. One size fits all is what it is. I do believe international phones has the ability to oem unlock. Not too sure though.

Ok, thanks. I had already assumed if it weren't already on xda then it be fake ?, I just thought I'd ask in case. My wife has a Metro J7 Prime and it's been running horrendously slow lately, so I'd like to be able to back up everything with Titanium Backup and just wipe it clean for her.. But that's obviously not an option right now ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You can do that with the smartswitch app.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] x_orange90_x:
App data though?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] DroidJP:
This is worrisome While the 32gb of the j7 prime does sounds nice. No oem unlock=no buy. The next time i go back to Metro PCS. Going to check out the galaxy S9. I got a feeling that phone too may not have the option to oem unlock since it is the U.S version. Only the Exynos international has oem unlock for that phone.

If the Metro version does not have the option to unlock. At least that phone is still worth getting. As of now, any midrange phones with no oem unlock is just[emoji107][emoji107][emoji107]

I did some digging around regarding backups. The closest that comes to being like root backup. There is an app called helium carbon backup, surprisingly it works. The only app that i came across that can backup app data without root. The only downside is that not all apps can be backed up and requires a computer with helium desktop version installed and usb debugging enabled to enable adb backup. The computer is only used to enable adb backup which only takes couple seconds.

Once enabled, you can now disconnect the usb cable from your computer and as long as you do not restart or power off your phone, (as this will flush the adb permissions) you can backup your apps+ app data without a computer. This is what makes this app very unique compared to all the "backup and restore" apps that are on the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] maxxmann2:
Had a solid root been established for this phone yet...???
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] DroidJP:
So now that i see that there has not been any progress made for the j7 prime since the last post. I have decided to do some extensive research and experiments of how the bootloader locks truly works.

While i do not have this phone, it shouldn't really matter since it is a Samsung device and bootloader locking or unlocking should works the same, the only difference is that option not in developer mode anymore.

Anyways, turns out that the locked bootloader is not as restrictive as we once thought it would and this can lead to a successful root for the prime at last. Simply put, oem toggle switch does not truly locks when the bootloader is set to lock. It just tells google services "hey i am ready to be locked when signed in" hence signed in to a google account =frp on.

Let's say you decide to upgrade your phone or decide to sell it or give it away. When you sign out of google services, this causes frp to switch to off mode state. This mode allows you to flash a custom boot or recovery as that is exactly what happened in my tests.

Twrp and patched boot img successfully odin flashed while bootloader was locked. The only catch is if you sign in to your gmail account and then reboot. Then frp will trip. Until then, device rooted with locked bootloader and can reboot and frp won't trip. It's important while in odin mode, frp must say off. Just curious if this has been overlooked??

So this method should work with the j7 prime. Even though the j7 prime can't have it's bootloader unlocked. This a lot better than nothing at all.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
The issue is that OEM unlock has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader on Samsung devices. As you have rightly discovered its only for enabling or disabling the FRP flag.

You can disable FRP even on some bootloader locked devices. It still won't boot if you flash an unsigned image.

The bootloader checks all images for a signature before boot.

Any that are unsigned are halted.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] DroidJP:
So has the security been improved on newer models then? Because i was surprised that it did not halt when flashing unsigned code, heck i was even more surprised that the unsigned code went through instead of failed in odin. From what i gathered, as long as it says frp off it won't trip, unless Samsung gotten wiser and beefed up security on newer models. Other than that that, i think that was a loophole in it's security mechanism.

Repeated this couple of more times. The only time it failed to flash is when i was signed in to google services.

Hey ashyx i tried to PM but cant PM u. On the Metro j727T1 I've been trying to root with not much luck but i think we can achieve root almost exactly like the j327t that u guys achieved root on. So get this. i went ahead and flashed combo firmware for the j727T in odin and it passed. so now im running COMBINATION_TMB_FA70_J727TUVU5ASC2 on the j727T1 and it reads as the j727T with permissive SELinux on 7.0. We're onto something, but i need your super brain for help. idk how u achieved root on the j327T but i think we can possibly use the exact same files and method if ported? Get back to me when you can. Thank you.

-Qwik(Aaron2z)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Like I said previously. The only possible way is if the J327t system image could be flashed to the J727t.

This image already has the su binary which we used to obtain full root. However one doesn't exist specifically for the J727t.

The combo firmware will not be of any use. Only the boot image is useful as it has selinux permissive, dmverity disabled and doesn't block root.

This is what is used for the J327t.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] aaron2z:
So im trying to unpack the combo firmware and add su binary into the xbin and bin then recompile it but been having trouble getting it to flash. Could be permissions could be how I'm compiling it. Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Unfortunately it's not that simple. A modified image won't flash/boot on a boot loader locked device as it's unsigned.

I've had trouble with my pxl2xl sticking to 5ghz eero WiFi system at home, or even seeing it ever connect to the 5ghz channels. It would always prefer 2.4ghz and the phone had lag and what feels like network congestion and packet loss. After tons of troubleshooting, I switched to the radio img from the non Verizon specific release and BINGO, working great now.

None of my other devices have had any issues, and pxl2xl work fine with non mesh 5ghz WiFi.
