My OP contains the exact firmware this device rolled out with. I may or may not have it linked somewhere here as I too paid for the stock. I suggest trying different Magisk versions &, like you said, different Oreo versions (I find this site to be very credible for stock firmware)

I will add that I have rooted all Oreo versions for this device, including ASC2. I'm unsure why you are having issues but I have faith you'll get it
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
I had to give the phone back but i did get him updated to pie and I'm going to work at a pie twrp for this device. It won't be a port though. I appreciate the help and I'll be in touch!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
I would help but I'm without my laptop right now
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
I did what you said about reflashing stock then flashing patched boot and signing into my Samsung account get verification failed. There has got to be a way to fix the Samsung account error.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
I figured out how to fix the Samsung account error using magisk to flash the AP tar file of the stock firmware and flashing it. But I ran into a new problem my internal storage is only reading 16gb instead of 32gb I'm going to repartition and see if that helps.

We need a better version of twrp for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
If your device is a 32GB model but flashed the firmware for the 16GB model, that could explain the issue. Verify that what you flashed was for the 32GB version.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
Wrong data just needed to be cleared.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
Good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
data in twrp or factory recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
Data in twrp

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Can we try and get a team together to build a new version of twrp for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
im down to help
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
You guys link the source code I'll get cracking on making a new recovery
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
Source code to what
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
The most current Samsung kernel and rom source for the j7. I'm not porting this recovery. I work from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
I will see if I can find it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
I found the source code
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
post it here if you could or pm me
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cam44:
Android pie

Altyough I only have 16 GB of storage because someone screwed up originally with recovery, I easily rooted pie with heimdall and honestly I think everyone was should use heimdall on linux as its soooooo much easier and consistent. Takes a bit longer to set up but im a total noob to linux and I've used it to root like 5 devices now and have zero difficulties understanding it now. Hardest part is getting ur original file.zip into .imgs and bins Google md5 to tar. And tar to lz4s and lz4s to imgs :cool:

Then pull pit file flash flash flash also read all the checked boxes as they like to check themself

I lost my other account maybe so not sure if I can post pictures or what but blah over caring
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
Actually, Odin is much simpler and easier than linux/hiemdall.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cam44:
Odin

Seems to me it makes some tasks impossible. Flashing twrp for example . or whatever the verificatiin failures are that seem to happen. Or getting pit from phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MarkCribbs:
Are you serious?

Okay, so just my luck, after reading through several pages of this thread. My SM-J737P decided to update to Android 9! Literally right after downloading all required files and unzipping them. So I guess the question is... Will this method still work for Android 9?

I have the SM-J737P (NOW ANDROID 9) with baseband version J737PVPU3BSF6. Build Number :

PPR1. 180610.011.J737PVPU3BSF6. And the service provider is SPR_BST. And as always, thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] strubedo:
I have asked this question before with no straight answer what is wrong with adb,mtp function in twrp recovery my PC doesnt even chime to recognize the device can someone point me in the right direction? I need this functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] davi7890:
hey does anyone know how to unlock my j7 refine. I lock myself out of it. I dont know what google account is log in. And I don't want to loss my data in my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
The XDA rules prevent us from helping you bypass Factory Reset Protection(FRP).
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
Yeah it's pretty easy if you know what you're doing but like Droid said..
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
[MENTION=10194813]davi7890[/MENTION] Are you 100% Google locked on the phone or do you have access to the phone but actually forgot your account information? Depending on your answer is whether or not someone can help

What are you trying to say? Who are you talking to?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pauljulian:
Indeed... the comment seemed vaguely threatening...

One has the freedom to keep the device and change service vendors that use their own SIM cards, so the person's comment is nonsense.... and quite the non-sequitur on this thread....
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kevinco1:
Upgraded to Pie and was wondering if this method will work for the latest update?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
As long as the bootloader isn't locked.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kevinco1:
It's unlocked as the OEM option is activated in my developer settings.

So I go through the same steps provided in this thread, except I'd want to flash my current Pie firmware of course instead of Oreo?

Help

I forgot to flash rmm no verity. Now my im stuck at main logo says only offical binaries can be flashed i cnt get in recovery download mode. Plz help J737p.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
You can't boot into download mode to flash it with Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ThTguy55:
No when try go in to download it justbturns off and on same thing with recovery amd flashes only official binaries are allowed to be flashed ... Ive have had phone on charge for 2 days now .. It was rooted and twrp installed.... I have twrp back up no way to use it.. Messin g with z3x if i can get this installed correctly
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
There is a patched version of odin that should allow you to flash, i had to use it to fix mine
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ThTguy55:
How can i use odin..?? If i cant get into download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
Use adb to force it. adb reboot bootloader i think
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
As far as I know, that command doesn't work on Samsung because Samsung doesn't have a bootloader mode, it just tries to reboot to system.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
Damn. There are lists of adb shortcuts out there, maybe that will help. Sorry but I've been out of the loop a bit
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ThTguy55:
Ive been trying everying. Im stuck lol .oh man this sux ???
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
Try a USBjig, it's a device for Samsung made to force the device into download mode, I have one that I use, they are pretty cheap, I paid $4 US. That I know of, there are 2 different kinds of USBjigs, one uses 300k(ohms) of resistance(older devices) and the other uses 301k(ohms) of resistance. Do some google searching to see which one your device required, then order the correct one, or, you can find some YouTube videos about how to make your own jig using an old charger cable and 300k or 301k resistor.

Keep in mind, the jig isn't guaranteed to work and if it doesn't, there is probably no hope for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ThTguy55:
Ok thanks bro gonna try it .. Hope works bro .. Ill keep ya posted yo .. Good lookin out
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
One other option if the USBjig doesn't work, you can try sending the device to a repair shop to get a JTAG service or a RIFF box/Octobox service.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ThTguy55:
Have z3x cant get the damn card installed rite im New to all this **** ... Just learning as i go..lmao

How do I flash the zip files through Odin on my Samsung Galaxy J7 2018 model? I got TWRP installed and made a backup, but I can't seem to use ADB to get transfer the zip files over, because when I'm in recovery mode or download mode ADB does not detect my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
You don't have to use adb to transfer the files. You can boot into the phone normally and connect your device to PC and move the files from PC to your device by/cut/copy/paste or click, drag and drop.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chaoloveicemdboy:
My phone is stuck in a bootloop, but recovery and download modes work. Also, TWRP is working as well.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
Does your device have an sdcard slot? If so, you can put the files on the sdcard then insert the sdcard then boot into TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chaoloveicemdboy:
Yes, but I don't have an sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
Do you have the full set of USB drivers installed for your device? Or do you only have the default USB drivers that automatically install on PC the first time you connect your device to your PC via USB? If you only have default/automatic drivers, you need to download the drivers from the web somewhere and install them then reboot your PC and try adb again.

Do you have the standard Google android drivers installed?

Do you have the complete adb drivers installed?

Are you getting a prompt on your device when you connect, asking if you want to grant access?

Do you have USB debugging enabled in developer options on your device?

Do you have the USB settings on your device set to MTP?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chaoloveicemdboy:
I don't have the standard Google USB drivers installed, but I got the Samsung for Mobile Phones drivers installed. I am using the ADB platform tools from Google, however. I have MTP enabled on my phone, and I did get a prompt when my phone was in normal mode before I flashed TWRP onto my phone, and I allowed my device access.

I got the following after I typed adb --version:

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41

Version 29.0.5-5949299
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
what happens if you type adb devices?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chaoloveicemdboy:
It just shows list of devices attached followed by nothing when I try to use adb devices in recovery and download modes. Also when it's in download mode, I see a driver called "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" in device manager. My phone is for some reason being detected as a modem in download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sands207:
I recommend trying the universal system-wide ADB installer here on xda. Then try again
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chaoloveicemdboy:
I tried that, but that didn't work, because I got the same result.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
Hey bro, I have a J7 S767VL(Exynos 7885) and a J7 J737A(Exynos 7870), I found an engineering firmware for each of them, they both have the OEM unlock setting and can be enabled with no issue, they both also are in permissive mode.

I'm trying to use the engineering firmware to find an exploit to get TWRP flashed then convert the 9.0 stock firmware into a TWRP flashable zip to restore stock while keeping the OEM unlocked bootloader from the engineering firmware or to get a patched boot.img flashed. So far, I've installed the eng firmware on the J737A, enabled OEM unlock then tried flashing a TWRP from another Exynos 7870 variant and I've tried flashing a Magisk patched .img but not luck, so far. I've tried Odin and patched Odin. There almost certainly has to be something that will make this work, one way or another. I'm not a developer or a coder, I don't know where to go from here and have no clue how to go about figuring out what is still preventing modifications.

Any ideas? Suggestions? I'm almost certain that I can exploit this eng firmware, I'm just not certain how to go about doing it.

I assumed that enabling OEM unlock would allow TWRP or a patched boot.img to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
You could always incorporate the eng boot.img into the stock firmware, use a patched Odin, & see how that goes. It may require a few more tweaks but I've managed to get a few devices to work that way, one with Pie OS
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
I no longer have this device but another suggestion is to downgrade to Oreo, then flash Pie through TWRP but make sure you dont include the Pie boot.img. keep it Oreo & from there you could probably find your exploit. I'd be happy to help further if I had the device still

Help Stock Boot.img J737P

Help!! by accident I flashed a patched boot.img in my J737P binary 5 with Android 9, but I didnt realize the file was made for Android 8. Now the phone is bootlooping. Where can I find the Stock boot.img for my J737P binary 5 with Android 9? Any help or comment will be really apreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MarkCribbs:
I may be able to help.

If you are still in need, I think I still have pretty much everything for the J7 Refine. You might have to give me 24 hrs. to locate it in 25TB of external hard drives, but it's not a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Yacowolf:
Yes please. I have tried other boot.img From different combinations but didnt work. Dont know what to do, and cant find the stock boot anywhere. Your help will be really apreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MarkCribbs:
I have it!

Sorry, it took me a little longer. I am in the process of uploading everything I have for the J7 Refine to my Google Drive. As soon as I finish, I will post the link for you. I'm sure you will, but in case you don't want to download all of it, just share it to your Drive and it will not count against your quota. Then download just what you need now. I hope it helps.

I have J737A and I cant root
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droidriven:
And you probably won't, I tried just about everything you can think of on a J737A for a while, with no luck. That locked bootloader effectively makes it impossible with the only possibility being that if one of the universal rooting apps or PC programs,such as Kingroot or similar software, just happens to get updated with an exploit that actually works on the J737A.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Yacowolf:
I was wondering if you could extract the boot.img and send it to yacowolf@nauta.cu . In my country we have -maybe- the most expensive internet access in the world, and it would be really helpfull if I dont have to download the whole ROM if I must not. The recovery says: J737PVPS5BTA3... and I think that just flashing the stock boot.img my J7 Refine will come back to life again. Thanks in advance...

I'm at a point now just buying a SG8 or SG A20. I had the 8.0 last update before the Pie and I had to update it because my phone would turn off during charging..I had root working during the first time problem was the security issue restarts that kept popping up. I have tried over and over with rooting this phone and the Pie Version is a little harder to break on this phone. So it's best to wait for someone to find the software for it.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jokono421:
Root works on newest firmware binary 6

Files needed:

Samsung drivers

Minimal adb

Odin 13. moded on this page

Fixed twrp

No verity zip

Rmm zip

Magisk 20.1 zip and manager

Your binary 6 stock firmware-samsung firmware site

Binary 6 Combination file- samsung firmware site

Steps:

1.OEM unlock phone. Install Samsung drivers,adb minimal,and odin 13patched/14patched,14.4 unpatched.

2.Open cmd here plug in phone.USB debugging must be enabled. Then type adb devices and grant permission on phone prompt. Disconnect phone.

3.Flash binary 6 combination files like instructed on samsung site.Once phone starts. Now go in setting and do step 2 again.

4.Go back in download mode and flash your phones binary 6 stock ap file. Soon as you see pass,put phone in download mode quickly speed matters here.Then load up binary6 stock firmware bl,cp,and csc and the twrp image.It should pass. If not you have to reboot phone and start from step 1 again.

5. Once in twrp allow modification and grant rw to all sections. Go and format data. Once done, make sure all has rw checked. Then reboot recovery. Now once all sections are checked rw . Flash twrp image in twrp. Select flash image to recovery slot.Now reboot to recovery.Make sure everthing is still read write.Format data. rw everything ,reboot to recovery.Make a backup of at least your boot image to portable storage card not device.Now flash magisk 20.1 zip or a magisk patched bootimage to boot slot 1st. ,no verity 2nd, rmm zip provided 3rd,20.1 magisk again if no patched boot image was flashed. Then a gapps if wanted. Reboot after installation. all in that order. I suggest flashing mindthegapps 9.0 arm feb 3 2019 version. If you plan on faking gps.Now reboot phone. Do not restart phone at all even after set up window pops up. Finish complete set up, and go in magisk before reboot.Once in open magisk app. you will need to finish setup prompt, or direct install. After this step you can reboot your device and turn it off and on.

Figured tons of ppl look here first when rooting j7 refine. All thanks to original thread creator, plus the ppl he thanked. most of his process I just mimicked.
