Is there ongoing development to root the J700T without porting from roms of other carriers?
Yes.
Twrp and debloated Roms possibly by this weekend.

Both share same specs so maybe twrp will work but don't hold me to it.
But tmo ROM will not.

If a stock (I mean bone stock) ROM can be created to work for all exynos variants, that would be cool.

I just brought this phone on Saturday. I have not even installed sim card yet. If no recovery is posted or no Roms will be available I guess ill be returning it. Need a phone with removable battery. Guess will fix my slightly cracked screen on my S5. I don't know why phone have enclosed batteries the worst idea ever.

I never heard of this "golden rule". But anyway the guy mentioned first that official root for J700T will likely be available this weekend. He said it not me.
Are the devs looking for people to test it out for them or are they keeping it in house until release?

Weekend started with the HD issue on laptop. Replaced HD, restored data, and discovered some conflict between compiling twrp and my current setup. Haven't figured that one out because it's strange since my laptop is Linux and has SDK installed and been using for about 3 years. Every phone I have touched has a ROM (or few on there).
So, setup a different laptop with fresh install. Worked most of Saturday night and a good bit on Sunday on it. Even used a Windows (eww) PC to work on it. Roms will be relatively easy. The recovery is more important at this point.
I even unpacked existing twrp for other j7 variants to compare to what I got in order to discover what I'm missing.
Odin failed twice. Passed once but still couldn't boot recovery as 02:15 earlier.
I am working on it.
I am no master dev.
Just a determined geek.

The Canadian SGH-i497 (ROM appears on sammobile but I cannot find reference to a Canadian Tab2) may support phone calls and sms messaging. I downloaded the Odin ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20711
And checked inside and it seems to have the proper files. Since the i497 has practically no support on XDA I have been reluctant to install it. But recently another member posted the ATT 4.1.2 so I was thinking of giving it a try in the near future.
Canadian version is listed on Samsung of Canada but that is about it. No info is given. Why would they release a ROM for a tablet that just doesn't seem to exist?

I have a I497 as well but it is for Digicel Jamaica, anyone knows if the AT&T or Canadian 4.1.2 Rom would work on it? I'm thinking they should all be compatible since they are all sgh-I497.

AT&T gave us one for signing up for their cable service. sad to know that no custom roms available.
was able to get it rooted. was going to be a fancy toy anyways. amazing how under-powered this thing is.
I just wound up selling mine, wasn't worth it. If I remember right there was a Rom, but it was only a stock one that had the AT&T junk removed.

I doubt there's a difference in the ROM. That's firmware you're referring to. Cm and carbon run on both. Some people are reporting issues that not everyone has and the general consensus seems be that ours related to the nb8 firmware but I've been running cm for a while now on nb8 without any problems.

I have a sick mother taking all of my free time right now. So yea, thanks a lot. Somebody had to do it. I was amazed at the lack of development for the device. At least there are some options now.

The simple solution isn't always simple for somebody on fixed bandwidth with no actual internet or ISP, a 2GB file is not an option for me at this point. A small APK that's mere KB's is a much better alternative. Thanks though.

MetroPCS Official Device Unlock APP - SOLVED
This will work if you have a un-rooted MetroPCS device
1. Please back up all your data ( any pictures, video contacts etc).
2. NOTE This step will delete all your data and wipe your phone clean - Do a factory data reset : - go to setting and search for "reset"
when your phone restarts it will load up the MetroPCS stock ROM and you will have all of the MetroPCS app suite including the official MetroPCS device unlock app.

I get that we had to fight for root tooth and nail for awhile .
But can anyone explain why we have had 1 rom based off stock since root.
Surely some old devs...must own this phone what's the culprit behind the lack of care to make the phone awesome with mods and roms. Is it the lack of dev users or is it software issues can we not build them with the customer engineer bootloader they we root with is it a kernel issue or twrp issue ?

Simple answer is, our bootloader is locked. Not really that much you can do with it. If you look, there are quite a few ROMS for s7's that have an unlocked bootloader (Exynos).
Exactly, look at it this way... would you develop for a phone that is extremely limited and doesn't even have a custom recovery? or would you develop on a phone that a custom recovery, unlocked bootloader, no limitations and a ton of activity in the forums?
---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
I'm trapped with this phone too and nextime I'm going to get the exynos version, never again will I waste my time with this Qualcomm ****... It's slower than the exynos on top of it.
how discouraging. im a bit behind the times. just came off of a SM-G900P ..with RRremix using Nouget.....thought this was a good step up for me just to find out that i cant root this damn thing??! major let down for sure. cant even get Substratum to work as good as it did on my s5.

This is basically the one way and the version you'll see posted here. It does make the phone a little unstable, takes a hit with battery, and changes kernel tables....takes some extra codes/apps to make it some what usable.

Sorry to post this but havent seen any updates on any types of root lately, being that the Bounty Sampwnd thread is locked. i know that there is root for the Bootloader v1 but havent seen nothing lately on the Bootloader v2. Just curious as to if it is being worked on or forgotten. I know its a big job with Samsung putting its bootloader on super lockdown and i am in no way nagging a dev to rush, was just wondering how it looks or if files are needed or what may be the problem. Thanks.
PS. before a dev comes on here acting crazy, i dont need root,not as of yet, but, i havent seen the question asked lately and i know some people want to know but are afraid to ask haha. So im doing it for them. And Im pretty sure people,well maybe just me, is getting over flashing back to qk5 and to the next oreo update. Flashfire is a Godsend with that type of thing. Thanks

I will be messaging these guys hopefully if I have time tonight, and see what they can do for us cause it's possible,but, in their thats I haven't seen anyone ask for it. They modify a whole bunch of stuff for you and all you do is install and let them know what happened and if successful you are only allowed to share the finished product by giving them acknowledgement and a link to their site. Well that would mess it up for me hahaha. I'll see what I can do
Good luck.

luck is actually not needed in this process.. There is a developer who actually has had his QK5 rooted. He has been very busy working and said he will surely upload his method when he has free time. at the moment he is releasing the G950U bootloader 2 root. For those of us with rhe G955U will have to wait for a bit as he has to build it for us. Thankfully for him, S8+ has not been forgotten. Unfortunately the bootloader is still locked but thata ok. As long as we have some sort of root.
Will keep this thread updated once i receive confirmation of methods.

podagee,
Thanks for the info.
However, I was using "Good luck" as a colloquial expression, not litereal.
Regards.

QK25 is a modified version no one will see because its a typo geez.... QK5 is what i meant but the QK5 rooted is already out. Partcyborg has released it on his thread. As far as the root for Oreo,not sure if it will stick as of yet. still downloading the Bl and AP from Partcyborg. I was gonna try and make a system only update for it so ill let you know when i get done with it.

Is there another of obtaining root for say like the 2BQL1? Something similar to say SamPwnd or is root only obtained through an AP flash created by You? I ask only because on Christmas Day, I spent my whole morning and afternoon trying to get my phone to actually boot up into it and not sure why but flashed multiple times and couldn't even get stock to boot after continuously trying to get the Samsung account fixed on the Rom provided. But also so we all know that if we wanted to flash say any other bootloader 2 Rom we could have root on any. But in every current event, thank you partcyborg for your dedication, time, and hard work you do for us here in the s8 & s8+ threads.

If you are having flash problems the issue is your USB setup. The most common case is usb3.0 ports that are apparently not compatible with the s8, particularly with large files like the samfail images. If your ports are usb3 switch to usb2 ones and if you don't have one a usb2 hub has been reported to work.
Also try different cables and check your drivers
How does this works and where do I find it?

Yes definitely with partcyborgs Rom. If you were rooted on rev1, I didn't like the first root, you'll be happy with what he has done. Smooth and everything,well almost everything, just works. By far, a better root experience than what we've had.
