[ROOT] SM-J730G/GM/F Galaxy J7 Pro - Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries

Below you will find my procedure to root the SM-J730G/GM Galaxy J7 Pro - Exynos 7870
(may also work for J730F, see post #3)
This procedure has been tested on J730GMDXU1AQF8 firmware. It may work for future releases or it may not.
If an updated firmware becomes available my advice is to update with FLASHFIRE to maintain root.
DISCLAIMER: YOU FLASH THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE KNOX COUNTER WILL BE TRIPPED AND WILL POTENTIALLY VOID YOUR WARANTY. HAVING THE STOCK FIRMWARE TO HAND IS ALSO ADVISED
NOTE: BEFORE MAKING MODIFICATIONS, ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0/7.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
Instructions:
◘ 1. Download the files below:
sm-j730gm_SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_root_boot_32
ODIN 3.12
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones
◘ 2. Install the USB driver and ODIN to Windows.
◘ 3. Boot your device to RECOVERY mode then select FACTORY RESET. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA. (This procedure is required to remove encryption or your device won't boot)
◘ 4. From RECOVERY, IMMEDIATELY Boot your device to DOWNLOAD mode then connect your USB cable. (DO NOT LET YOUR DEVICE REBOOT NORMALLY OR YOUR DEVICE WILL RE-ENCRYPT)
◘ 5. Run ODIN and place the sm-j730gm_SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_root_boot_32.tar file as is in the AP slot. Don't change any options and hit START.
◘ 6. Wait for the device to flash and reboot.
◘ 7. Install the SuperSU apk from Play store and you should be rooted.
◘ 8. Have fun!

Sir, flashing zips thru Flashfire? I Hope TWRP will be released soooon.

works for 730F
Hi ashyx, thanks you! I can confirm that this method is working for the J7 730F/DS model whith Version J730FXXU1AQF4.

Does anyone know why the bloatware can not uninstall on Android 7 Nougat? I have rooted my J730G and use Link2SD app to uninstall the default apps, but the apps can not remove. I can use link2sd app on Android 6 Marshmallow to remove default app.

I use System App Remover from Playstore.

As long as the variants don't differ in CPU/SoC (Qualcomm/Exynos), with Samsung it never was a big deal to use twrp from a "brother" model. Always make a backup first before flashing critical system parts and keep the original odin flash file in handy.

Thanks. Now I know sir.

Hi. I read through this new thread, and the original thread by Oves (India) who was working on the root for the J730G/DS as well. @ashyx love the work, thank you very much. But when I click on the 32 bit root file on androidfilehost.com it gives me a 404 error, file not found.
I think the link is either broke, or the file has been removed. If people are reading the old thread, they may eventually make there way here to find the updated file.
Can you please repost the link for the proper file? Thanks again for all your hard work!

It hasn't been removed it's still working just checked.
Maybe try a different browser or disable any ad blockers.

That is strange, I still can't get it to work via Chrome or Firefox. I just tried it now on my mobile, same thing.
This is the link from the browser:

Well, no worries, I'm sure somehow I will figure it out. I'm using the link on the first page of this thread for the 32 bit file.

[Tool as a flashable zip] Get updates even after rooting in Redmi 1s MiUI

Get updates even after rooting on MiUI stock
Only works with stock Mi Recovery!
What does it do? :-
If you didn't understand this before, now you can get OTA updates even after rooting!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why did I make this when new updates can be flashed just with ROM file? :-
Some people aren't that professional, in fact I made this for my friend for whom I rooted the phone and he had no idea how to flash it, recoveries scare him . Also the downloader app in MiUI sucks!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation instructions :-
Download the file in the attachments below and transfer it to the root of your phone's internal storage and rename it to update.zip
Go into the updater app, press the menu button and sleect "Reboot into recovery" and then press OK.
Use your phone's volume keys to navigate and then select English
Select flash update.zip to system and after it completes then reboot into system
Tada! You will now get OTA even when you're rooted!

It works for us on stock recovery... Try CWM. We are looking into this bro need ur co-operation! This is because one of our main devs is from Andhra Pradesh and if you watch the news then because of it we cant get the download link!
You want users to download a zip that contains an alternative build.prop, that is likely to cause the phone into a soft-brick, and which has 'only' an OTAUpdater.apk from an unknown origin; I'm afraid no. Noobs may fall for this. This (replacing with a custom build.prop) IS a potential risk and would NOT recommend users to do that (even if this zip was correctly packed/flashed). Reporting thread.
If you are the developer explain how your stuff work (the mechanism) and if you are not you have not right to put that in the developer section!!

HOW TO ROOT USING MAGISK:
Flash stock with Odin. The latest build is posted above. Reboot and complete setting up the phone.
Download Magisk Zip and Magisk Manager APK (these are two different things, you need both) and place them on your phone. Download from https://magiskmanager.com/
Do the usual to enable Developer Options (tap on build number until you see it enabled) and set OEM Unlock ot on (this is a setting under developer options.) Make sure you do these steps.
Go into Download mode. Turn phone off. Hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. We'll do something similar in a minute.
Flash TWRP via Odin, but DO NOT REBOOT. TWRP is here, use the TAR file. https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/
Manually Power phone down by holding the Power button a really long time.
Manually boot into Recovery. Hold Volume Up, Home and Power. You should now be in TWRP.
Use TWRP to flash the Magisk zip file. When you reboot, you should be rooted.
Reboot and install the Magisk APK. Allow "Unknown sources."
You can still root your phone using SuperSU, but I am not supporting that.
thank you for your link.

Twrp and supersu 2.71 work for me.
Nothing noticeable between pd2 and pb6 actually so if you are still good on pb6, let it stay there.
BTW i get good battery life on pd2 as you can see my attached SS. Will pass 5 hrs sot easily, even more.

Root Samsung Galaxy Folder (SM-G150NS) 5.1.1 ?

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Folder (SM-G150NS, SM-G150N0):
- Android Lollipop 5.1.1
- OEM Unlock available via Developer settings.
- Model : SM-G150NS
- Build version : LMY47X.G150NSKSU1APK3
- I have access to Odin flashable firmware (via Sammobile)
This phone is almost 3 years old and yet I have not found any information about root solution for this phone.
While I am really skeptical about "one click root" solutions, I have tried KingoRoot but with no luck (displayed a bunch of popup, adverts and got stuck at 90%).
I have not tried OneClickRoot or KingRoot, if someone can confirm if safe. I will give a try.
This device seem pretty "standard" to me, I mean there is a lot of Samsung phone running 5.1.1 that can be rooted easily. I guess this one can also be...
The device is vulnerable to Dirty Cow vuln but it seems like we can't really do anything from there...
I saw this chinese website that have Odin rooted package : [Can't post it as I am new user]. But payment is needed. Looks like a scam to me
Has someone have any idea how I can root this device ? I will be very grateful for any help I can receive.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers :highfive:
Edit: I will seriously buy you a beer if you can help me with this...
Download this custom recovery http://ge.tt/4cO5xGj2
Flash the custom recovery, get the 2.78 SR1 Supersu zip file, copy it to the phone and install it from custom recovery.
Hi gsmDabbler,
Great find! Successfully TWRP and rooted using your method :highfive:
Thanks very much :good:
For the record, here is the steps I have done :
TWRP Install :
1) Download custom recovery linked above (unofficial_twrp_3.0.2-r6_novel3gskt(G150NS).tar).
2) Turn off your phone and start it in "Download Mode".
3) Open ODIN, click 'AP' and select the recovery tar file downloaded previously.
4) Click 'Start' and you are done.
Root :
1) Dowload latest supersu.zip version (currently SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip).
2) Copy it to your phone memory.
3) Launch TWRP and install zip.
Edit: Beer sent as promised

This file is a good replacement to an SuperSU file.
The actions should be done are:
- Burn (With Odin software) TWRP on the phone after logging in download mode,
Entrance to recovery TWRP >> Install >>Find the attachment, and just install it ..
Then install an app magisk, so you can manage the root

Root unsuccessful everytime

I tried every method but still can't get the root access. My device is on the latest January update.
Kindly help me to root my device.

If its unlocked and its g975+ use these FILES already patched with magisk and also have twrp in it. Just flash these using Odin. After flashing you must install magisk manager if not installed.

Download latest firmware jan patch from sammobile patch it with magisk app you already have. Download ian recovery for android Q patch this too and rename patched_recovery.img to recovery.img. Open patched firmware ap tar with 7zip put patched recovery in this tar. And flash it. If you wanna save whe data using HOME_CSC.
OR
Simply dirty flash beyond rom you will automatically upgraded to jan patch and also with lots of useful mods too.

Yes. You have all files.
Phone came today, seller has updated it to 10 ONE UI v2.0
So i will downgrade, as my current bootloader binary code aka 3 is the same as the last version of android 9, so i am able to downgrade, which i'd rather do to be safe, before i proceed with root method.
Downgraded to v9, all is well, but OEM UNLOCK was not showing in developer options, so did the change date to 8 days before trick and OEM UNLOCK is back
OK, i followed tut oem greyed out,and proceeded with install, all ok, now rooted after using disabler and installing magisk manager.
Also not sure if a new thing or need additional program on my laptop, but i can not transfer files from laptop to the sd card or internal of phone.
I get your path sdcard is not accessible alot?
Is this due to android 10? am i best installing another rom, pref v9
All the folders in internal of phone are not named as normal, just all mixed numbers and letters

You need to wipe data from twrp.
You must have to wipe data if rooting first time.
Anyways don't do any lengthy processes like downgrade or flash any firmware. Just wipe.
Turn off phone and boot into twrp by pressing power+volume up+bixby. Choose wipe then either format data or choose advance and wipe it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Model SM-T875 finally Rooted

Hello. I have managed to Root My Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Model SM-T875 with KNOX value 0x1 and no custom recovery has been installed. I am linking an image from Root Checker
bit.ly/3kOE6NW
Sorry for bitly link guys, this is my first post so not allowed to post url, pls understand
Only for SM-T875
If you have any other models, let me know, I will patch their boot.tar and provide link for the same
Steps for root :
Download and install the latest version of Magisk Manager
Make sure you have an unlocked boot loader
On your PC, download Odin and put your S7 into download mode
Flash the tar file listed here
I am linking the exact boot.tar image I used
bit.ly/3j4mYDw
Sorry for bitly link guys, this is my first post so not allowed to post url, pls understand
In Odin, select the AP option, make sure ur tab is connected in COM1 and then select the boot.tar file. Once flashed, you have to restart your device.
NOTE
Once this boot.img file is flashed you will get this an error saying your device is not on official firmware and you will have to hard reset your device, go ahead and hard reset your device, you might think its in bootloop but it is not. Once hard reset is done, your device will boot twice, make sure to press the power button each time to skip the unlocked bootloader warning. Once done, set up your tab as new one. Now Magisk Manager will not be installed on your device. For root , go ahead and install Magisk Manager again and this time Magisk will be installed in your device and your Knox value will be 0x1 and warranty will be void and device will be rooted
If any questions, please feel free to ask
Hope this helped you
Did someone confirmed?*I wait to got the root before to buy this model specifically
T870

Sure, here ya go
bit.ly/33DC7GM
If this img file is not flashing, make sure to tar it using 7-zip and then flash from ODIN.
This is the boot.img from the latest version of Android Q (release Sep 1) so make sure you're on the same version before flashing this.
Let me know if this worked or if you need the boot file for any other version
also, sry for bitly link, am not trying to profit out of this, once my 10 posts are complete, i'll post direct download links.
Thx for understanding

Not that I should be saying this, but if you want to know, I have done the same steps on both of my Tab S7's and bot are working while being rooted. If you still want someone else to confirm, im totally fine with it. Thx for replying tho.

Is there a working custom recovery (TWRP) for the T875/870 yet? Haven't found anyone mention it so far.

Unfortunately no.
I have T875 TabS7 brand new I have Build number
QP1A.190711.020.T875XXU1ATI4 and device says upd are available ATJ4 Something. with october patch. The boot image you have linked is of which firmware ?. Should I update and then root.
EDIT:
Anyways i followed this guide by Dr ketan for rooting which i used for my Note 20 Ultra and it didnt work with patching AP file method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-20-ultra/how-to/guide-how-to-root-n20-ultra-t4147023
So i downloaded the latest firmware which was ATJ4 my CSC version was CAC so i downloaded same firmware from SAMFW(super website with downloads resumable via google drive option.
1. I extracted boot.img.lz4 from AP file of stock firmware downloaded and made a TAR file of it with 7Zip
2. Put it in phone and used magisk manager on tab to patch this file
3. Copy back to PC and flash via odin 3.14.3 in AP tab and uncheck auto reboot in ODIN
4. Booted straight into stock recovery and wiped/factory reset
5. Now i have root on Tab S7 T785.
Here is a link to boot file patched for TAB S7 N985 LTE Latest ATJ4 Firmware .

Possible to Root SM-T878U ?

Yeah it might be.
I have gotten a TWRP up and running on my Galaxy Tab S7 but it's not functioning properly, I'll post the stable version here in case I figure out one haha.
I have the Tab S6 and I love it. I am thinking to buy the Tab S7+. I was very quick to root the Tab S6 and did not take much notice of the Knox trip. Is there any sell value if the tablet cannot have certain apps working such as secure folder? I understand even if you unroot and relock the bootloader then knox is still going to be changed to 0x1
My Tablet still seems to be 0x0 though.

Any luck on this? I also was dumb enough to get this T878U from ATT. I realize I have a signed locked bootloader. Is there any hope for us? I'm fairly technical and can follow directions
I'm in the same boat. Att locked out usb and wifi tethering. A rooted device would be very helpful.
Did you have any luck with magisk hide(safetynet)? I'm still waiting for fingerprint for magisk-hide-props-config.
Is this possible for the SM-T978U?
