Well there's no MM based SPFT file, so all you have to do is either flash stock kk/LP using SPFT or if you've twrp installed, boot into TWRP again and wipe everything except SD, flash the MOB31E full stock Rom zip. Link : MOB31E OTA's and flashable zips thread

Hello, please help
The device is canvas a1 and it is fully updated till the last update via OTAs only. I performed factory reset on it. It is now stuck on setup wizard. Not able to skip from there.
I wanted to flash it again.
So, can you please tell if it is OK to flash KK or LP flash files?
(I am asking this because, its BL might have got upgraded in OTA updates and it could be dangerous to downgrade to lower versions by flashing.)

Remove your battery and insert it again, put the device into bootloader mode and unlock it, then you can fastboot the twrp and good to go.

Nothing to worry. Once you get twrp, just clean flash stock lollipop Rom. Don't use SPFT, you gonna brick your phone if something goes wrong wrong. I'll link you LP (flashable via twrp) Rom, tell me when you done.

Disable Gplay services notifications. Or Just download and flash MOB31E stock Rom. Zip

Hi there
I have the same problem and my phone is stuck at the boot screen.
My phone does not allow me to enable USB debugging and I am really stuck with being able to install TWRP and flash the stock ROM.
I'm incredibly confused and am unsure what I am doing. Attached is a screenshot of the CMD box.
Help and simple instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
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!

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.

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.

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.
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.
Edit. These files are from CAROTIX CARHDMOD thread and is android Q.

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.
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

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.

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 .

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.

On the latest Samsung Tab S7 T875 Stock firmware Android 11 and one UI 3.1 , i have it rooted with Magisk V22 , widevine is L1, and safetynet passed .
Running with following magisk modules
1. Magiskhide props Config (Just install no config set
2. Riru
3. Riru Edxposed
4. Universal safetynet Fix V2.00 Test version 2 Thanks to kdrag0n
I am not responsible for any brick.
I tested this guide myself and decided to share it.
Make a backup before this guide because you will lose your data!
The unlock method has been updated and now you can unlock the bootloader more easily without the risk of bricking after an OTA and without changing the bootloader.
Now you can safely unlock the bootloader using mtkclient.
Link: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
TWRP can be installed via mtkclient or manually from rooted Android.
TWRP Download link: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c/releases
IF you unlocked the bootloader with the old method you can follow these steps:
1) Download the attached package.
2) Download OTA zip from flyme, link: http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=70&type=1
3) Download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
4) Download MTKClient and follow the instructions to install it.
5) Power off the phone and keep unplugged it from PC.
6) Open SP Flash Tool, select the downloaded package and select all partitions, then press the download button, don't plug phone for now.
7) Boot to recovery with vol +, plug the phone on PC, depending on recovery, TWRP or stock, use adb sideload or put update.zip in internal memory and install the zip.
8) Let the phone reboot or reboot it manually.
9) Now start the flash from SP Flash tool automatically, let it finish.
10) After the flash, unplug the phone and reboot into recovery.
11) Paste the update.zip in the phone and flash it.
12) After reboot, let your phone reboot into android and power off.
13) You can follow the guide to unlock bootloader with mtkclient.
FAQ:
A) But will I lose the data with this guide?
Yes.
Make sure to back up your data in any case!
B) But this guide is a bit different than usual, where is "fastboot oem unlock"? Or "fastboot flashing unlock"?
Meizu has not implemented an unlock command and in this case to unlock the bootloader we have to use a tool that makes us change the unlock status.
C) Are there Custom ROMs?
There is only one custom ROM for this device, the Lineage OS 14 but I advise against using it because it has a bit of a bug but I haven't had more time to work on it yet.
D) But wasn't the guide different?
It has been updated with a better method with more advantages.
E) My device is in Hard Brick! How can I solve?
There are various types of Hard Brick and it depends from situation to situation.
F) I have installed Lineage OS 14 but I am not satisfied, I want to go back to Flyme!
Flash update.zip from official website.
G) Can I relock the bootloader?
From MTKClient readme:
for relocking use:
python mtk da seccfg lock

H) TWRP? I am interested in Device Tree, where is the link?

I) I have a Meizu A5 (Chinese M5c) will it work on it?
I can't assure you anything but it could work, the only way to be sure is to test on a Meizu A5.
J) Can I flash twrp from fastboot?
Fastboot refuses to flash partitions, strangely, I don't know if downgrade or anything changes the situation but for now I was able to flash it with mtkclient.
I can remove the FlameOs from the Meizu M5c and install a custom rom. So far I haven't found any rom for this device?

Im working on a Lineage OS 14 for this device.
I tried the procedure and it failed. Apparently it just formatted it but couldn't finish the process, returned an error. Then I tried to reinstall the stock ROM and it generated the error S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4) & 2004). Now my phone is off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I tried this method but it didn't work:

You unplugged the device while it was formatting, consequently it no longer has the bootloader, that error means that the device needs an authorization file that unfortunately only meizu has, shortly if I can try to release a tool to unbrick it in cases similar to these

It's a shame .. I hope you can really release this tool, so I can revive my phone. Thank you.
You can make a video on youtube showing the procedure on the Meizu M5c. Installing Twrp and LineageOs 14? Just to make sure it works

For now I can't make the video because I can't release the Lineage because I'm fixing some bugs and I want to do some checks before releasing it publicly

Ok i found a working guide, tried on my M5c and it works:
Search on YouTube: flash mtk without da ,
You will find a video called, just exactly as I write here: "How to flash MTK secure boot devices without a custom DA" and follow the video tutorial for unbrick your device.
P.S:Obviously when the guide ends you flash the ROM from SP flash tool as you normally would

Did you finally manage to fix the device?
Were you able to get on with the guide?

XRed_CubeX, I followed the tutorial from start to finish. I used the SP Flash Tool to install the M5c stock ROM, the ROM was flashed 100%, but after disconnecting the USB cable the phone did not turn on.

Have you flashed the Stock ROM or the Engineering ROM? I remind you that even if you have flashed the eng rom only once previously, you can no longer return to the flyme bootloader so use the normal stock ROM but you will have to flash the Engineering rom

Well, I flashed the stock ROM a second time, using the Firmware Upgrade option, and it worked. My phone turned on and I'm in the initial setup screen.
By the way, this Engineering ROM is the ROM you shared above? Do you think it is stable enough to be used? Maybe another day I'll install it, with care to not do anything wrong again

Yes, the ROM in this thread is ROM engineering, about the stability I can't tell you why I haven't tested it, the main purpose FOR ME was to get the bootloader unlock with this ROM, if you want to switch to ROM engineering you CAN install the flyme after installed the Engineering ROM but you must always modify the OTA zip so that some partitions do not flash but if you are interested I will talk about it in more detail and maybe I will give you a hand to flash flyme safely on bootloader engineering

Actually, the ROM I installed with SP Flash Tools was not the update.zip from the official Flyme OS website. I downloaded the stock rom from needrom.
I have done this several times before.
But now, strangely I can no longer update to the latest version. The version I'm running is Flyme 6.0.2.0G. I tried to download the update.zip file and install it manually by clicking on it, and it appeared "corrupted file". I also tried to use the Update application and "network error" appeared. But everything else is working perfectly.

I would like to know how to install the latest version of Flyme OS via TWRP. If you can tell how to do this..

Are you working on a custom Lineage OS ROM for this device? I'm interested, when you can publish it.. Do you have a prediction of when you will be able to release that ROM?

Ok, I'll explain in detail how it works: In the guide you will have read that you cannot return to the flyme using the stock rom or an unmodified OTA. This is a tip because once you flash the Engineering ROM, the engineering bootloader (which is essential for unlocking) will also be flashed, but the problem is that if you flash the stock bootloader (the flyme one, the one you surely have when you get the phone), the device for a reason unknown to me, probably the Engineering ROM modifies something in the device (?) and then goes into brick if you try to return to the flyme bootloader. To flash an OTA flyme on TWRP, you must first have some precautions: you must take the OTA on your computer (or a file explorer capable of editing zip files) and remove the following files: lk.bin preloader.bin (it will have a name longer but you still have to remove that) and tz.bin / trustzone.bin. Done like this, now the OTA becomes safe to install, you install it from TWRP, at the end of the flash it will give you an error but it is because it does not find the files we have removed but we can safely ignore it because it will have successfully installed the flyme on the device.
Regarding lineage: I'm still working on it a bit and gradually I'm discovering bugs. I already warn you that the camera will not work in the Lineage, I have tried in every way to try to make it work but it does not want to go, I have asked for help everywhere but no one has been able to answer so I do not know what to do, for the rest I want to keep a little longer the ROM under test to fix the remaining bugs
