Anyone know if SuperSU 2.82-SR5 works on our device running Oreo or not? I'd test it myself, but am not able to use my Windows laptop at the moment and don't want to hap-hazardly root and screw something up(granted, I still have the ROM file and ODIN to fall back on), and I ask specifically about SuperSU as an app I use refused to work for me when I ran Magisk(app in question is WiFi Tether Router to bypass the 8G hotspot limit Boost Mobile enforces).
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peter couniaz:

No superSU is not working on Oreo update 8.1.0 J727P !

Jose Alberto:

I have tried to install Android oreo official for the j727p of Sprint but it gives me an error, unsupported dev download the ROM of 4 files
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SammaelAkuma:
Try using the latest ODIN. It's 3.13.1, if I remember correctly.

Alright. Followed your advice and went with Magisk 17.2. Works, however, the app I use for my WiFi Hotspot bypass fails to initialize a hotspot(WiFi Tether Router). Still tempted to stay on Oreo because it's loads better aesthetic-wise than Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] neyoski:
I wanna ask, how did you guys do it. I Have not been able to root my phone. I installed the latest nougat update. Whenever I introduce twrp it goes into boot loop. At recovery mode, I was unable to mount SD card.

My thought is, if I could do all these on 7.0 on What chance will I Have on oreo?

Put me through please. Thanks

J727P update 8.1.0

Yes from stock firmware you have to factory reset in stock recovery before installing twrp threw all of this you can't reboot system at all until you have installed magisk zip !

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------

Ok this is what worked for me to get Root !*

#1 go into stock recovery data factory reset the phone pull battery !

#2 boot download mod using Odin 3.13.1 install latest twrp make shore before flashing twrp to unlock auto reboot in odin options then flash twrp pull battery again !

#3 boot into twrp wipe data in advanced options then mount system an flash magisk 17.1 zip wipe data again an boot phone setup phone an install magisk manager open manager in popup click yes it run threw an go away after that when ever you open magisk manager the popup will there an just click no thanks ! You should have no reason to open again it should just keep granting your root app access ! Hope this works for you all !!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] neyoski:
Thanks for your response.

Please clarify; 1. am I to use latest twrp or twrp made for J727P? I saw cautions never to use any version of twrp lest my phone be bricked.

2. On my previous attempts on TWRP, I couldn't mount SD card nor the system, so couldn't install magisk. What is the way around it? Can I flasj magisk via odin?

3. Also, I wanna know; are your procedures for Oreo, or Nougat or it will work on both environment?

4. The constant shut down of my phone is a concern too, the phone wants Sprint SIM activation, i'm out of Sprint's coverage.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] neyoski:
I tried your procedure. At recovery mode, I tried to wipe data, it gave me an error message; failed.

E ; Error creating Fstab

Also, I couldn't access SD card in twrp mode.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

Do I Have a better chance if I downgrade? I got error message when I tried installing oreo. What is the safe method to downgrade?

Twrp 3.1.1-1_SM-J727P_25817 is What I flashed. I could mount SD card, I couldn't format system, I keeps giving error message; Error creating fstab.

Do you advise if I should toggle anything with Chmod?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SammaelAkuma:
Note that if you take the update to Oreo, you may not be able to downgrade. I just tried to go down to the ARC build of Nougat so I can use that hotspot app I mentioned above and I got the "Fused 4 > Binary 3" error.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
This is your problem. You need to use TWRP 3.2.3. Use the option that requires you to type in yes to format data in TWRP, then flash Magisk 17.1+.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

You can downgrade to Nougat ARG2.

1. Open the ARG2 AP tar file, and extract system.img. ext4, recovery.img, and boot.img.

2. Create a new .tar file and add the 3 files to it. You can name it whatever you want, just remember it.

3. Using the latest patched Odin, load the BL, CSC, and CP files from the stock ARG2 firmware in their proper slots, and put your new tar file in the AP slot.

4. Flash and profit.

Alternatively, if you have a backup of Nougat ARG2 already on your sdcard...

1. Using the newest Odin, flash the ARG2 BL file only, then reboot into TWRP.

2. Format data using the yes option, then restore your backup from the sdcard.

3. Profit once more.

*You can flash the ARG2 modem if you want. (CP file) It isn't needed though. The Oreo and ARG2 modems will work on either OS, and are completely interchangeable.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SammaelAkuma:
I see. I'm currently in an email correspondence with the dev of the app I mentioned. He's under the impression that I don't visit XDA, know how to root devices, nor do I know to use the latest version of a tool to do so. Trying to get him to see that SuperSU, while it works still for the supported versions(on devices that don't have less than a year for their latest builds), is becoming obsolete as it's last beta branch update was 368 days ago. Magisk gives his app root permissions just fine. His app, however, refuses to do what it's supposed to do.

J727P update

Magisk manager is all we need for this !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peter couniaz:
J727P update

Ok I was able to downgrade back to 7.0 even after my backup failed after flashing bootloader file I was able to flash 4 file firmware in after flashing bootloader after backup failed in twrp so back to 7.0 it is for now !

Foot note make shore when downgrading by flashing bootloader an using twrp recovery that your backup was done with the latest twrp or go back to the twrp you used to make the backup ! I made my backup with twrp 3.2.1_1 an it failed using twrp 3.2.3_0 an I was lucky that it wiped everything when it failed !

As far as I know there is no rooting method for this phone yet.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbreed53:
Combined OP & peter couniaz instructions

Here's what I did. It worked! HOWEVER, the phone did stall on the Boost Mobile screen during the FIRST boot after the Magisk flash, but I believe it was due to not being able to connect to the Sprint cellular network. I let it sit for 5 minutes, then removed the battery, replaced the battery and restarted the phone. It then went past that to the Android/Google setup, connected to WiFi and moved right along. Once I got into the phone, configured a few basic things, I installed the Magisk App update and all seems to be well.

Reed's way *************************************************************

Odin Install Method (No Root Required):

You will need to download and install Odin on your PC.

Run Odin on PC.

Select the tar file that you downloaded for your device.

UNLOCK AUTO REBOOT! in Odin options.

Power Off your device, then Power On into Stock Recovery

Select Factory Data Reset, Then pull battery when complete!

Power on into Download Mode, Then attach to your PC.

Flash the tar file that you selected in Odin.

When flash complete, pull battery again!!

Boot into TWRP Recovery, then Wipe /data in Advanced options

Then mount /system and flash magisk 17.1 zip

Wipe /data again and reboot.

Setup phone, then install Magisk Manager from Play Store

Open Magisk Manager

In Magisk popup, click yes.

End Reed's Way ***************************************************************

My reason for rooting was to install and use Android4Viper FX, so I installed that next, it went as it should and I am pleased with the results. Being a retired Audio Engineer/Mixer I have never been pleased with the audio of Android devices. This is a step in the right direction. Next, I will have to purchase a Bluetooth receiver for my AV-Mixer/Amp to gain the full advantage. I hate headphones, and earbuds even more so.

Now, I want to debloat this overweight B****! Any links, tips or ideas on how to proceed with debloating are most welcome. Also, I'd like to sample a few custom ROM's if anyone knows of some to try.

Thanks to all

---------- Post added at 20:35 ---------- Previous post was at 20:21 ----------

This may not be the proper thread to post what I am asking for from you. If not, please direct me to the proper thread.

I am asking if you could outline in detail what apps/tools used to debloat the stock firmware ( I have downloaded it from a link provided by the OP). Further, a step-by-step process to do what you have done, including the caveats you described in your post.

I have disabled the Samsung Email app, but not the Messages app.

I am experiencing a minor camera issue I was not having before rooting the phone.

It works, BUT if I select the Settings wheel in the app, it pops the settings menu open BRIEFLY, then returns to the camera preview screen.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ct760ster:
After gaining root with Magisk just install Titanium Backup and sdmaid and debloat as with the Nougat stock ROM but keeping in place the included launcher as well the Message and Email apps from Samsung ? Just search for 'xda SM-J727P debloat' to have the list of non-essential apps which can be wiped from the stock 7.0 ROM and follow indications as well as the one I mentioned before.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Anyone got the munchies for root? (J727p only!)

I found a solid root solution for Oreo! We needed some kernel changes, a modified fstab and the correct Magisk binaries. This will also enable data mounting in TWRP. You will be able to access internal storage from recovery.

1. Format /data in TWRP

2. Flash the root zip.

3. Profit!

Optional: Flash Spacesung Oreo debloat script any time after wiping /data.

Notes:

*Do not upgrade Magisk under any circumstances. You will lose root. If you get an update pop-up when opening the app just ignore it.

*The repo library is not is updated. You will have to download modules manually and flash them in Magisk manager. Do not flash them in recovery.

*Viper4Android; Use version 1.8.2 found in this thread.

*TWRP can't make backups. I'm working on it. No promises though. You can make one by flashing the ARG2 bootloader first. But... You must flash back to the Oreo bootloader in order to boot the OS again. I don't know if the ARG2 bootloader allows restoring an Oreo backup, or if TWRP understands how to. I think it'll work though.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Did you wipe data using the format option in TWRP before flashing the root zip? If not, try that first. If you did do that, check /system/vendor/etc, and see if you have an fstab.qcom file there. If so send it to me. If not, or if this location no longer exists, let me know.

Edit; Also check the root directory for a /vendor folder, and check it's properties to see if it's symlinked to /system/vendor/etc. Let me know the result. They may have enabled Treble. You guys do have an "A" partition scheme, it's just disabled in the dtb.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
On the Sprint version, if you skip flashing the CSC then it defaults to T-Mobile. That might be the case for your firmware too. I would give that a try first.

If you can send me the original BRK4 boot.img, I think I can figure out what's going on. This smells like Treble. If TWRP can't mount data, then there's a good chance the fstab location has changed. Also please send me your build.prop.

Is there anyone that can give me a pretty in depth way to get OEM back with stock firmware or any possible novice attempts. The phone is years old I have 3 and I'm hoping a root method has come available for the Verizon prepaid.
