Latest stock ROM for SM-J727P.

For those who are still using this resilient phone as their daily driver, here is the latest one J727PVPS6BSK1. The link to download is as follow https://samfrew.com/model/SM-J727P/ ;)

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

Aqui esta un link para las mas recientes ROMs que le sirven a tu dispositivo https://samfrew.com/model/SM-J727T1/region/TMK/ Tienes que saber usar el programa de Odin para programarlo por defecto con el modo de Download. Si eres mas espabilado usa el Heimdall que en mi caso personal da mejor resultado.

Can the SM-J727U(Consumer Cellular) be rooted too? SM-J727UUES6BSF2

I have just received a software update notification. I think the update might prevent the ability to root.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ct760ster:
If you are rooted already and have installed TWRP then you are unable to update by the OTA method of choosing update in the settings menu. The phone will complain that you are running a modified software and require a computer to do so. The only alternative for me is to download the full upgrade stock ROM and use ODIN or Heimdall to flash it with all the hassle of backing up your data and applications and restore them afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EpicSaga:
My phone is not rooted. I want to root it, but I'm afraid that if I do the update I will lose the ability to root it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ct760ster:
Unfortunately it's seem that your model use an Exynos chipset which has yet to had an alternate recovery as TWRP available to be able to attain root. For some reason those who has Qualcomm chipset seems better supported in those regard. Nothing we can do about until someone with enough knowledge start developing a solution for your model.

I want to be able to leave my VPN on when I update apps on the playstore. I don't want to have to disable my VPN in order to download updates from the playstore like I have to on my other phone since I upgraded that phone to Android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ct760ster:
First update for 2020 of stock ROM has been released, it has code J727PVPU7BTH1. As always for those who root and debloat their phone you need to install the complete ROM with ODIN or Heimdall. Here is the link to the ROMs https://samfrew.com/model/SM-J727P/ Cheers ;)

PS: After experimenting for a while with with the latest Magisk version 20.4 as of this writing I can confirm that it's safe to upgrade from version 19.2 via the Magisk manager or directly through TWRP recovery via ZIP file, it seems they get rid of the bug that was keeping the device in a hung state during boot that appeared in versions released after 19.2. Also for debloat the stock apks do not uninstall the included Chrome browser apk as it would prevent you from signing in to the Play Store account.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ct760ster:
It's already 2021 and it seems the venerable SM-J727P still receiving support from Samsung, albeit my model maybe still stretching a little bit too long it's teeth as it outlived its original carrier Virgin Mobile and seems now that T-Mobile is planning to discontinue 3G support starting next year and with 4G getting spottier and finicky now with Boost Mobile. Latest stock ROM is J727PVPU7BUA2 and as always can be downloaded at https://samfrew.com/model/SM-J727P/ As I mentioned in the previous post same recommendations for debloat apply also in this latest release. Also it's worth mentioning that the latest Magisk version 22.0 is integrated with the manager apk and maybe is better to flash it just after upgrading the stock ROM instead of flashing the old 19.2 or 20.4 and then upgrading it to the latest 22.0. I am still curious about how much more people are still using this beast as their daily driver beside me. The only thing that seems to have wear out in my device is the battery as it's just hold charge for no less than 40%, below it it's just suddenly turn off, it's amazing in my opinion for an original out of the box battery that is reaching almost 4 year of service. I just hope somebody can release any custom ROM to extend it's usability far beyond ;)

Hey, is there a way to re-enable the OEM Unlock option in the developer options?

if i'm rooted and have twrp and magisk 17 installed, will I able to update and if yes will I lose root?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] freemini:
There's no factory image right now so you can't use the corresponding boot image to flash magisk back, it might work with the May one but I wouldn't count on it. You can also try the A/B magisk feature (flash stock boot.img, apply OTA, install magisk to inactive slot). You will definitely lose TWRP though. This wouldn't be a problem if fastboot boot worked.. I'm sure they'll release the images soon enough.

A good one. As for me the Benzo, Los16PPR2 and Havoc are the best to this point.

Especially smoothness, battery life and customization are more then ok atm.

Thanks [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] ! Took some time away from flashing and was a bit lost of where to go on my axon after moving to aex5.8 and how to do. Good that you also have the instructions ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Axebladewarrior:
Was on benzo for a week or so...was pretty stable but the battery life wasnt that great even with the schwifty kernel. It lacked some of the customizations that i use so i am back at AEX 5.8...pretty sure these gsi will become more stable over time...will be worth the wait
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Thnx for the input !

True, as for me too, the AEX Oreo has a bunch of customs that Benzo still hasnt. But out of all GSI's Benzo and a couple others have the most.

Even on some Pie GSI's the displayed features aren't even working.

Batterylife as on NOS gave me 4-5 SOT on average use.

Anyway, like you said, still building up....
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Sure! more people testing means more options explored and better outcome for everyone. You are doing a great job testing and bringing Android 9 ROMs to the Axon 7 scene. I have been very busy the last couple of weekends preparing my version of the TWRP for the Axon 7, the TWRP 2.3.2-0L Labs Mod. It has been for me the key for fast switching between the testing environment and the daily driver configuration in a matter of minutes and without requiring a computer at all. It can backup/restore internal storage, create and remove the vendor partition and even create firmware zip packages able to be flashed using TWRP or MiFlash. I'll create the guide this afternoon on how to switch back and forth from Nougat or Oreo to Pie.

Cheers!

As said, I come along with many people asking how to go back and forth between N,O and Pie. I know what to do in such occasions but many don't.

HOW TO...

Round Trip from NOUGAT or OREO to PIE GSI

​

OK, the full instructions to go from Nougat or Oreo to Pie, and back, would be:

Prerequisite

Bootloader Unlocked Axon 7

Install tools and configuration

1. Install TWRP Labs Mod Custom Recovery. Use the B12 version in case you are currently using Oreo encryption. Reboot to recovery.

2. Open the PARTY tool under Advanced > Oki Labs. If you do not have vendor partition you need to create one. Use the default configuration (System, 512MiB, at the end). Accept to reboot recovery. If the vendor partition is there, then just leave PARTY tool and continue with the next step.

Backup your daily driver config:

3. Go to the EDL Backup tool under Advanced > Oki Labs and create the Backup zip choosing FULL. If something goes wrong you will be able to restore your device using TWRP or MiFlash

4. From the Main Menu, backup your Data partition to the External SD.

5. Backup your Internal Storage using the option under Advanced > Oki Labs (Check the available space, the tool is not yet checking for available space, I will add it this weekend)

Prepare Treble configuration:

6. From TWRP Install the special B12 Bootloader with enabled EDL key combo support (The Universal Bootstack leads to DFU mode) and the modem for your region.

7. From the Main Menu, Wipe Vendor

8. Flash Axon 7 Treble ROM v1.1

Flash GSI package:

9. From the Main Menu, Wipe Dalvik / Cache / System / Data

10. From here you have to follow the installation instruction for the Generic System Image (GSI). Usually it is a single img file. So go to Install, press Install_Image button and navigate to the GSI file to flash it. Then just reboot. Some images would require additional ZIPs such as GApps or recommended patches.

Here you test the Pie ROM. If you want to test another Pie ROM you can try just going back to step 9. However, to ensure everything is clean you should start in step 7.

Return to your Daily Driver Config

11. Boot Recovery and flash the backup EDL ZIP you created in step 4. If you bricked your device just extract the contents of the file in your HD, Boot your phone into EDL mode, and use MiFlash. This step restore your original bootstack, modem and OS.

12. From main menu restore your Data partition

13. Go to Advanced > Oki Labs and restore Storage.

14. If you had to create the vendor partition in step 2, just run the PARTY tool again to remove the vendor partition.

15. From the Main Menu, Wipe Dalvik / Cache and reboot to system.

New Builds :A-only !

Pixel Experience seems default camera is working now

ArrowOS

Misc

Magisk Camera Module (MI A2 stock camera for Pie) - tested and works very good. Even flash is synchronised as well.
