Hi guys,
I was hoping someone could help me out. I have rooted before (long time ago) but I can't seem to find a lot of information on this specific phone (SM-J727S). I have been searching online (and across many dodgy looking websites, thanks No Script!) and this is about all that I have found:
The Galaxy J7 is also known as the Galaxy Wide 2 in South Korea
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=device&id=11601&c=samsung_sm-j727s_galaxy_wide_2
It was released on May 2017, runs Android 7.0 (Nougat) and uses the Exynos chipset
TWRP has a release for the J700 series but I'm not sure if it would work on the J727S
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyj7exynos.html
The source code for the system has been released, but I couldn't find a stock ROM (which made me reluctant to try TWRP)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=j727s
This is the closest I got to a Stock ROM but I don't trust the site, is this site trustworthy? (again, I came across too many dodgy sites to just download anything)
https://stockromupdate.com/2017/07/26/stock-rom-sm-j727s-samsung-galaxy-wide-2/
The KingRoot method currently will not work and is asking me to wait for an update (phone is probably too new to root?)
The closest thing I can find on this forum are these posts (but none reference the J727S model)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/root-sm-j727p-galaxy-j7-perx-td-lte-t3611202
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/help/root-sm-j727p-galaxy-j7-perx-galaxy-j7-t3598117
So, I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
I'd thought I'd mention that the bootloader is unlockable in this phone. I had read elsewhere that other people cannot access the 'OEM Unlock' option on their version of the J7. It isn't the case with this phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/help/galaxy-j7-pop-galaxy-halo-t3647805/page2
I also got a message from Google talking about my accounts being accessed by a 'J7 Pop'. I guess the Galaxy Wide 2 is also known as the J7 Pop?
So, I'm still on the track of rooting this device. I'm just gonna update any relevant stuff here.
The closest TWRP that I can find is for the 2016 version of this phone, it has the same Exynos chipset.
I'm thinking of trying this, but are there any problems with flashing the wrong version of TWRP? (Will I brick the phone? Or will it just error-out on recovery and boot normally?)
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyj72016exynos.html
I also found (what I believe to be) the Stock ROM for this type of phone, you have to sign up to the site in order to download it. It is specific to SK Telecom (Korean telecommunications provider)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/samsung-galaxy/SM-J727S/SKC/download/J727SKSU1AQD6/172065/
If someone can advise about going forward with the similar TWRP version I'd appreciate it. Cheers!
EDIT: Kinda answered my own question, from the TWRP download page https://dl.twrp.me/j7xelte/
Downloading an image for a different device, no matter how similar, usually does not work.

Any way to request an TWRP version?
I am Korean, and it's very hard It's angry me............................
XDDDD I'm from South Korea too and the J727S is customized with the Knox Enrollment Service that blocks the wifi and cellular data AND apk installization. (trying to uninstall it )
I found this: https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/02/root-samsung-galaxy-wide-2-sm-j727s-nougat.html
anyone habe twrp for this model ????
Hi.. I've this model also.. tried to downgrade..but it can't..always failed
My friend was installing the twrp to root a J7 metal.
Now the cell phone does not restart, and I do not know what the **** it did KKkkkkkkkkkk
It wants to remove the twrp without formatting the device.
If installing the original rom by Odin using home_csc does it return to normal without formatting?
Restore

Hi all,
I bought one HTC U11+ china version, without google apps.
How to How to install google apps for it.
Pls help me. Thks so much
Hi,
Are you sure that you need to install google apps again on a Google Android smart phone? or china version has a deep-modified knockoff Android?
If so, I think you may wait for S-OFF patiently, then write a different CID and flash with ROMs from normal world.

That's the version I'm have on my device. Want to be able to recover from my experiments. Thanks.
i have no idea what RUU is (it's been too long since the last time I have an HTC phone), but I am guessing it's some sort of a ROM package for HTC devices.
I bought the U11+ from a vendor in Asia, but I can't seem to find the originating country where the phone was sold. I'm unsure if it's a Hong Kong model, or European model. But inside the box, the power adapter that came with the phone is a type C (commonly used in Europe). On the box, it seems the model 2Q4D100.
Now my actual question is, how can I update my phone to the newest ROM because my phone is currently running version 1.10.400.23 (October Security Patch)? Also, if possible, I'd like to keep the phone as stock as possible, root and unlocking bootloader or s-off isn't something that I am after.

i think your device europe model update in setting or dowlond here 1.24.401.2 ru version and update on pc
What software do I use to update on the PC?
Thanks for your response.
EDIT: answering my own question
If your phone is untampered/unrooted, with its bootloader still locked (e.g., you haven't done anything to modify your phone); then IF you manage to find the correct RUU file that matches your phone's CID/MID (CountryID? ModelID?):
1. Rename the RUU file to correspond with your device's model type (e.g. 2Q4DIMG.zip)
2. Find a MicroSD card, and place the RUU file into the root of that MicroSD Card. Insert the MicroSD card into the phone. You need to use a MicroSD card, otherwise the next step won't work.
3. Boot into Download Mode, by pressing and holding down the 'Vol Down + Power Key while the device is turned-off. Let go of the keys as soon as you feel the device vibrates
4. Once your device successfully boots into Download Mode, your device will ask if you'd like to flash the RUU file. Proceed by pressing the Vol Up key.
5. If your RUU file matches your device's CID/MID, then Download Mode will proceed with the installation.
6. ????
7. Profit?

1.24 only OTA'ed in the last few days, so he was probably on the latest on 1.23.
Can always RUU to 1.23 and OTA up to 1.24, so not too massive if you cant find an RUU for 1.24 yet. I havent seen 1.24.709.7 RUU floating around yet.
Hi guys, i am planning on buying the U+ here from China/Beijing, as you know devices here don't come with Google play store and Google stock apps installed. I am wondering since i never owned an HTC phone before, is it possible to flash another country or region rom for ex: HK that has all Google apps and do you recommend me buying this phone?, any further advice or tips would be much appreciated.
I am planning to sell my Iphone 8+ and get the U+ instead.
Thanks in advance.

I have the device for almost 3 weeks now... I'm absolutely happy with it... Don't believe in many of the reviews out there (YouTube etc.)... There are many reviews saying the screen is too dark... That is absolutely not true! I've had the HTC 10 before and while having both devices side by side with same setting, the u11+ indeed looks much darker, but it seems, the lightsensor is much better! In sunlight the u11+ is much better readable than the 10 is... And I'm using just 25% brightness outside in automode and on the 10 I have to use 50+% to be able to read something on the display. What I try to say is, that many reviewers are doing device checks indoor... You don't need your device to be a supertrouper indoors to be clear. So the reviews are dumb. The materials used are absolutely great, the manufacturing is perfect!
So for you question about the Google apps... AFAIK you can download every Google app and install it via playstore. To get playstore itself, check apkmirror.com
Theoretical you can flash other Roms... Practically atm its not possible, cause there aren't any custom roms around yet. It's possible to open bootloader via htcdev site and you can flash custom recovery and root your device. So if you want to flash a Rom from a different region I guess you first need to get s-off, which is also not available now. But with the option to download and install all Google apps (if that's everything you need) from apk mirror I doubt you need to do manipulate anything in the device and just use it out of the box getting all your stuff you need from the web and install it.

Thank you very much for the advice, see the problem with phones specific to china they don't come with Google services framework and Google Account apks pre built, which are essential for some Google apps to work properly or you would get the force close issues which I see alot of users from China and outside are complaining about after installing manually both apks mentioned and other Google apps on the U11+.
I used to own a Huawei P8 (Great device) but i didn't buy it from China it came with Google apps and wasn't facing the issue I am inquiring about. The point I want to make is that the downfall of that device and these Chinese brands is the updates frequency and lack of developer/rom support.
What I am afraid of with this device besides the updates frequency, lack of developer/rom support is not being able to flash stock roms with Google apps pre built. All of these are red flags to not buy and enjoy this nice device which is a shame.
I think it would be a better decision to stick with the iphone 8+ for now because it retains a better second hand value compared to the 11U+ if i decide to buy it. My true device goal is a 2018 device with better looks/specs and support.
Thanks again.

I have a SM-G9300, which is a Chinese dual SIM model of S7, with a Snapdragon chipset. It's in excellent condition, with the box and charger, so I'm selling it.
I'm just wondering if there's stock firmware for it that will make it more sellable in the UK, that doesn't have a bunch of bundled apps intended for the Chinese market on it.
Is it the same board that's in American or other English speaking Snapdragon models?
If so, will both SIM slots still be recognised if I were to flash American firmware?
Or is there a dual SIM, Snapdragon S7 that was made for an English speaking market, that I could use the firmware from?
Back in 2017, a guy posted asking about the same, he found multiple answers that I find helpful.
Check his post.
Since there's an official TWRP available for Snapdragon devices, I believe there's hope for you, even though not a lot of custom ROMs exist for your variant.
There are ideas you could try, present in the post, but don't forget the warning of flashing other model's firmware, and what could happen to your phone.
Thanks. I hadn't even noticed this thing didn't have the play store on it! The thing is, it does have google play services and google play services updater on it? is that normal?

No, and yes.
Chinese variants don't implement Google Services, just like the modern Huawei devices wasn't allowed to.
Maybe someone tried to install the Google Services packages, similar to what is done on modern Huawei phones, I can't tell you further.
But there's an Oreo Galaxy S9 ROM available for your device, of which will make your device look like an international S7.

Thanks. The firmware that's on it is 100% official, downloaded via frija and flashed with odin. I had a look at the changelog for the official firmware, and it actually does mention that some new Google features had been added to it.
So there's Google services, Google Play Services updater, and a Google section in the settings menu, but no Play store and no Google apps in any of the menus. Google drive PDF viewer does show up in the list of installed apps in the settings menu though. Makes me wonder that there might actually be a way to install the Play Store without custom recovery, that maybe wasn't possible on previous versions of the official firmware.
For now, I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I was hoping not have to root it, but it still wouldn't boot after flashing the DM-verity package, so I flashed Magisk and it booted.
I will check out the Oreo ROM for it, thanks. Do you have a link?
I just found out that all I needed to do to get the Google Play store on it was to install the APK file!
As of more recent firmware updates, Samsung have been releasing the firmware for Chinese models with all the underlying Google Services architecture in there already, just without the Play store. Literally just needs the Play store APK.
Been messing around all day trying to flash the Hong Kong CSC file on this thing, cos I really wanted it unrooted for selling it. Stumbled across the Google installer for Chinese smartphones. Tried that, and it was failing on installing Serviced Framework. Turned out that it was failing because a more up to date version of Services Framework was already installed, and all I needed was the Play Store APK from APKmirror.
Hi guys, so I bought my first Realme phone a couple of months ago and I noticed that the Google Pay app wasn't working. I checked the ali store where i bought it and surely it said "Global rom: This is the version with global firmware installed, with many languages, including portuguese language, spanish language, google store is normal, but please note that google pay payment does not work properly". For any reason, this ROM wont let me have Google Pay, so I wanted to know if any of you knows how to enable the Google Pay app? or should I install another ROM? Has any of you had a similar problem? Thanks
Perhaps shift from global to Europe firmware?
Im from South America, so I dont know if the European firmware would work. I'm having a little bit of trouble finding out how RUI 3.0 - Firmware - ROM work. Also, do you know how to do the shift from Global to European? Or at least a tutorial? Ive seen the site https://realmefirmware.com/realme-gt-neo2-5g-firmware/ which has the global firmware released today but I dont know if it's just installing the firmware and problem solved.
Bootloader unlocked = no google pay, it will only work with the original firmware channel, don't try locking your bootloader if you are not 100% sure of it, this will cause your phone to bootloop and you will end up with a bricked device that only realme support would be able to solve, the best solution would be to spoof your device fingerprint to pass the SafetyNet and everything will work just fine, you can contact me for help if you want.
Yes Im going to need a little bit of help with that, thanks

With Magisk installed you can use the Universal SafetyNetFix by kdrag0n, easy fix

i did install it, but CTS profile still not pass.
I figure out that I need a valid fingerprint which associate to the device (The one which registered to google) to make CTS check pass.
So, I need the fingerprint when the device is in stock rom and haven't rooted.
