I have a lease on a Galaxy J7 from MetroPCS, J700T1 and still owe about $300 over the next few months. I rooted, forgot and shut off OEM Unlock so the phone was binary frp locked. After flashing the stock Rom thanks to I believe his name is Paco, the same one who taught the rooting method for this phone, my software and binary are official but the warrantee is voided.
During the time that my phone was binary frp locked, I went to Best Buy and bought the Moto G4 Plus 16GB Unlocked for $250. It was only tonight that I flashed the stock rom for the J7. My question is whether I should return the Moto G4 or return the J7 and opt out of the lease. I want to know which phone is the one that is better to keep, given the state that the J7 is in, comparing it the Moto G4. Which phone is better to hold onto? I am going to get rid of one. I don't want to use a phone that is rooted for now so I never attempted to root the Moto G4. Please can you give me your answer based on what I did to the J7, the specs and hardware and brands of both phones. I am asking XDA members because I feel I will get the best answer here. Thank you and happy Halloween.

My phone one is on stock firmware finally. In download mode it confirms that. It also confirms that current binary is Samsung Official. Do I need to worry for my phone getting bricked doing a complete software reflash in a Samsung Repair Facility? I'm asking because the phone says custom in about phone and I do know that it can mean just that the phone had more images flashed to it. I rooted with Kingroot about a month ago and since then I have been trying to get my phone like how it comes fresh out of the box. I have been going crazy since then and I'm posting this question now being that I will be able to visit one of Samsung's Repair Facility's in a few days. It's the Grand Prime with model # SM-G5030AZ. Please can you fellows who know much more than me help me with my dilemma. Thank you.
About another stock firmware
I don't have one more is it available anywhere and believe me I did the research. I think your first option is something I'll give a try but if it doesn't work I'll try the last one. Thank you very much for your time as it is much appreciated.
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here:

I have a bootloader locked ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model SM-N910A. While trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat 4.4.4, i ended up wiping the phone clean & now ODIN does not work. Got sick of trying to resurrect the phone. Since i can't root this piece-of-****, i just wanted KitKat 4.4.4 on it. Can anybody recommend me a repair shop that can restore this phone. I live in Sterling Heights, MI. After sinking $412 on this phone, I'am not willing to spend anything more than $80 on this, though.
Thanks & Regards
Cecilia

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble. but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. That said, iXDA is a global community and might not be the ideal way to find find a local repair facility in your specific area.
Good luck!
My friend have got Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (SM-G361F) as a gift. It is bought from UK and have sim network lock in it. Device have got bricked when trying to root it. So i flashed G361FXXU1AOH4_G361FLUX1AOG1_LUX firmware downloaded from sam mobile through odin and its working now. Still the sim network lock is there. Now we need to buy an unlock code for this and all the sites asked country of origin and carrier. Is it still UK or Luxemburg? Also pls reccomend a trustworthy unclocking service if you know.
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
I see you asked your question in the Android Q&A forum.
You should actually be asking your question in your device specific forum located here
As far as recommending some one for the service we do not do that here on XDA, but you can always read what other users have done in the section.
Good Luck

My LG G4 got stolen and I had to get a cheaper phone as a replacement but I'm having a hard time finding a root method for this model. I really hope there is a way.

Greetings and welcome to assist. It looks like the bootloader is locked on your variant and at the moment root is not available

Hello all,
I got a budget Samsung phone a while ago, the SM-J737V, expecting the usual 2 years of updates, from oreo > pie, and then to Q. But Samsung (or maybe Verizon I suppose) screwed me over and only gave me oreo > pie and then nothing.
What I'm here for is to ask all of the kind developers on this forum to please assist me in finding a way to unlock the J737V's bootloader, so that maybe one day this phone may see Lineage OS or AOSP, and so my phone will not die less than 2 years after I got it.
Thank you, and godspeed.

You can check this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unlock-bootloader-samsung-galaxy-j7.3409080/
But IDK if this will work on your device. Best to ask in this thread first before flashing wrong files to your device.

Nope, didn't work unfortunately. My J7 is a newer one with no fastboot support and a locked bootloader.
Good day, I have a Samsung Galaxy j7v for about 3 yrs or more that my friend bought from a person overseas and from I got the phone it keeps asking me for a pin. It seems the phone is tied to an organization and as such I can't use the phone, is there anyone that can help me with removing this organization thing from the phone please?
