[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Xandaros:
I finally figured it out! I had been at this for hours when I posted this thread and, of course, right after I post it, I manage to fix it. (Well, two hours after posting. In the grand scheme of things, right after.)

On https://www.leakite.com/2016/04/how-to-change-modify-of-fix-null-imei.html method #2 finally worked. However, the pttycmd1 is not in /dev directly, but in /dev/radio. I also had to reflash since /dev/radio was empty. (Probably due to various other attempts to change the IMEI, which made it disappear entirely)

If somebody stumbles upon this with the same problem, here's what you do:

- root your phone

- enable usb debugging

- enter an adb shell (alternatively, you can use a local root terminal)

- Execute:

su

echo 'AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI1"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1

echo 'AT+EGMR=1,10,"IMEI2"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1

- reboot

This is by far the easiest method I have found so far and ended up being the only one that worked. Why is this not recommended more often?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] TheDon13:
I agree, these methods should be more widely available on web forums etc. At moment I have tried IMEI changer but the trouble is on a dual sim phone, it seems to change both IMEIs to the same number! So far from ideal.

Just curious on method above, does one not actually put in the "" marks and just enters the actual two IMEIs?

Very useful I have a umi plus and I have to do A complete reset (download only) losing IMEI now I have the solution ... thank you so much
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] uuzi:
I completely agree, this is the easiest method and it just works, no software needed (if made via terminal software on the phone itself). But the commands you posted are slightly wrong. there should be a space between the AT+ and the EGMR:

su
echo 'AT+ EGMR=1,7,"IMEI1"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1
echo 'AT+ EGMR=1,10,"IMEI2"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1

Good night, I did the twrp and I think I deleted some files from the DEV folder, because my IMEI does not appear anymore. I'm with the TWRP and rooted device. Some tip to reset my IMEI. My handset is a power 3 ulefone

I just reverted back to sleuth v1.2 wm6 with radio1.27.14.09 and lost all ability to send or receive sms. I tried to search the form but maybe I am too stupid to phrase it right? Anyone has any clue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
You really should be asking this question in THIS THREAD.

I also believe that Sleuth's v1.2 is based off HTC 1.56, which uses 1.27.12.xx radios. Best to ask in his thread.

Don't feed the n00bs! Teach them how to post to the correct thread!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mackentosh:
Noob question but what is BusyBox and what's it's purpose
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mikepopo99:
Busybox allows programs to perform actions on your phone using Linux commands. So some apps require it to run some commands and wont work without it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Felosis:
You shouldn't be getting that error anymore if you're using the latest Magisk release. He released version 15.0(1500) a couple days ago, but that was actually fixed in the last beta 14.6. :)

You would have to reflash your Kernel boot and dtbo and repatch though with the new version. I just used the Magisk Uninstaller script in TWRP, flashed the latest zip of flash Kernel then latest Magisk in TWRP and all good.
[Magisk] imPRAGMA:
I can confirm it does NOT work like it should for Galaxy S8 (Exynos European).

Steps I have taken:

- Uninstalled Magisk

- Recovered to a 2 month old TWRP backup with Magisk uninstalled.

- Tried installing v15.0 by flashing in TWRP.

- Freezes on carrier screen (Waited atleast 15 minutes)

- Still frozen.

- Recovered back to before I installed v15.0 and then installed v14.0 the same exact way.

- Got to lock screen within 30 seconds.

There is DEFINITELY some issues with v15.0 for Galaxy S8 (Exynos) and I advise using it for now.

Fixed on v15.1, thanks dev!
[Magisk] gianboy:

[Magisk] DaleSwanson:
Upgrading from Magisk v14 to v15 caused a bootloop on my A520F with Nougat. What have you done to get out of boot loop? I tried installing v14 and uninstalling Magisk, but neither seem to have made a difference.
[Magisk] Paenik:
Hello I've tried my luck with my Galaxy S8 + G955F and the Android Oreo 8.0 Beta from Samsung. Root works very well, the phone is running well but both with Magisk Version: v14.0 & v15.0 always no Safetynet pass unfortunately. It always comes only false. Maybe there is still a fix in the future would be happy.

[Magisk] imPRAGMA:
Its fixed on v15.1! :D Thanks dev
[Magisk] DaleSwanson:
What did you do to get v15.1 to work? I installed v15 and it caused a boot loop, v14 didn't seem to change anything. Just did v15.1 and now it's just hanging on the first screen (Samsung Galaxy A5, not the pulsing Samsung screen I've had it hang on before). I've never seen this before.
[Magisk] imPRAGMA:
From what I can tell, your Boot Image is screwed. Did you backup when your phone was booting? If so, use magisk uninstaller, clear dalvik/cache, use recovery just the boot image from it and clear dalvik/cache then reboot and let it load to homescreen, u now have no magisk, now reboot into recovery, install 15.1 and reboot and you should get past all the screens within minutes. Took me total like 1-2 mins to get to homescreen.
[Magisk] DaleSwanson:
Thanks. It looks like the only backup I have though is of /System, /Recovery, and /EFS. I don't have a working /Boot backed up. Is there anyway I can get one from somewhere else? Or wipe it and start fresh?
[Magisk] imPRAGMA:
Im not too sure, but maybe you can do a FULL backup of what you have now, install fresh, backup Boot Image only, recovery your full broken backup, and recover Boot Image == profit??
[Magisk] DaleSwanson:
That's a good idea, thanks. What exactly do you mean by install fresh? Stock image sideloaded via Odin? Do you have a good source for the right images for this phone?
[Magisk] imPRAGMA:
https://sammobile.com but its free speed is insanely slow, I accidentally got OEM Unlock disabled so now my firmware is FRP locked so ive been downloading stock for ages now... :/ around 35 mins left, downloading for total of like 2 hours (capped at 300kbps)
[Magisk] Thomass30:
Is rooting S8+ G955F with magisk wipes the existing data ?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Rooting shouldn't, but you might have to do stuff beforehand that would. Unlocking the bootloader, as an example.
[Magisk] Thomass30:
I thought europan Samsung got unlocked bootloaders .

In developer option is the option - Unlock OEM . Turning this on wipes my current data ?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The bootloader might be unlockable, yes, but it won't be unlocked from the start. Enabling Unlock OEM doesn't in itself wipe anything, but only allows the bootloader to be unlocked. When you then unlock it, your data will be wiped.
[Magisk] Thomass30:
thanks for quick replies.

I thought this Samsung G995F has already unlocked bootloader.

How do you know it isnt unlocked from the start ?

The previous verions od Samsung i had S4, S6Edge has unlocked booloaders from beginning. (I have european version)
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That does not sound right... And not at all like Samsung. :laugh:

You have to make a distinction between the bootloader being unlockable and it being unlocked from the get go. Two very different things. The bootloader pretty much always ships locked, that's simply a security feature.

Then there are OEMs that make sure that the bootloader can't even be unlocked (read: Samsung). But this is usually mainly on USA released devices.
[Magisk] Thomass30:
I understand the differences between unlocked bootloader from factory and bootloader which could be unlock.

But as I said previous Samsung S4 and S6 Edge, got unlocked bootloader from the beginning.

I didnt unlock them and that would be necessary if they was locked because I installed TWRP on them.
[Magisk] Wcosta:
S8+ exynos running magisk 15.3 with no problems.

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Cool! Doesn't at all sound like something Samsung would do though... :p

But, I don't do Samsung, so I wouldn't really know. :laugh:

Im not New to rooting phones Iam new to rooting Samsung phones and Odin Software.

some specs of SM-S737TL:

Carrier: WMFM

OS: Android 7.0

Model #: SM-S737TL

Device Name: Galaxy J7 Sky Pro

CPU: Exynos Octa 7870

Architecture: 8x Arm cortex-A53 @ 1.59 GHz

Board: Universal7870

Ram: 2G but actually is 1.85G "but who's counting right!?"

Internal Storage: 16G

Security KNOX

few things about this phone:

-In developer options there is NO option for OEM UNLOCK "My first phone without that option"

-FRP LOCK is ENABLED

-In this phone's recovery the top line reads "samsung/j7popeltetfntmo/j7popeltetfntmo7.0/NRD90M/S737TLUDU1AQF2 user/release-keys" My issue here is "TMO" Im guessing that that means T-Mobile???

-I feel like the Internal Storage was Auto Encrypted without asking the user and without an option to encrypt internal storage. The only option for Encryption is individual file encryption. I say this because battery life is horrible I have seen this on other phones that have encryption enabled. Or is it KNOX doing the battery drain?

-Odin download mode with VOL Dwn+Home Key+PWR

Questions:

1. Is the Samsung J7 Sky Pro just a Rebranded

Samsung galaxy Wide

Samsung Galaxy Prime

2. Could we use a root method from a similar rebranded phone?

3. Could we use a SuperSU from the rebranded or Super similar phone? "i kinda know the answer but I ask anyway"

4. Could we just flash the latest SuperSU using CF auto-root w/Odin or Just typical ADB commands and gain root like that?

5. Notice the line at the recovery of this phone it says "j7popeltetfntmo" TMO usually means T-Mobile. So whats up with that???

6. Odin Mode easy to get to Rumor is Tracfone Doesnt lock bootloaders Does this mean the Sky Pro Tracfone Varient has a Unlocked bootloader out of box? I assume yes because we can get to bootloader, Odin Mode, and Recovery without hax/mods

this is op. Look for crom sevice on xda download install. I believed it oem unlucked my phone. Check it out guys. Get back to me let me know what you think. now if we have oem unlock we just need stock rom.

With this phone the way to root it would be Reset to factory then not letting the phone to load and run stock install WE HAVE TO AVOID ENCRYPTION WHICH THIS PHONE FORCES! SO WE FACTORY RESET AND GO IMMEDIETLY TO BOOTLOADER

I have owned this phone (SM-S737TL) since it came out in 2017. I have yet to find a successful way to root this phone. There are many different sites that offer generic options but none of them work.
