So I brought back my J3 and bought this: SM-J727P Galaxy J7 Perx TD-LTE / Galaxy J7 2017
Is there any way to root this yet? I couldn't find anything.
I'd love a DE-bloated ROM too but I know it doesn't exist yet.
thanks for any help.
Looking for the same thing. Google is not helping. The phone must be too new.
J327P
So I'm going to say one thing find Ashy and bribe hi..hes why i got root on my j3 2017 emerge.mmi know but it was all theyd give me in terms of samsungs and therse only a few other highend and moddable one like moto which allows you yah you the owner to do what u want with again u the owbers device ...what a concept Pm me in a week or so and if u have no takers I'll compile one for you on my Ubumtu17.04 running Mate or on a LTs version of Ubuntu on a cm machine...well I wish you luck and to speed up the process find the kernel and the recovery.img and boot. I MG (.img files can be extracted from a Odin file that goes in the ap slot ) kernel well ask Samsung If someone gets two and wants to trade me for a J7 Perkx for my J327P Emerge I will develop a few from source....which I was successfully creating a moto e surnia . I did what everyone did and started from scratch and I'd be my own tester not releasing it till it was at least sta b le....just a thought
regards C HI-RES IAN
Can you please run Antutu, the benchmarking apk. It would be amazing to get to see the score of the 2.2ghz octa core snapdragon chipset. I have the j3 emerge 327p, rooted and twrp installed (thanks to Ashyx for building twrp and making a way to decrypt data partition!!) I can say with an antutu score of over 28k its the best of the j3 models, so im very eager to check out. Also check out a dev names Messi2050, he developed the twrp for original boost and tmobile j7.
Does this device boot in permissive mode?!
So i find myself with bith a brand spanki g new sm-J327t and sm-j727p. Two pretty cool phones, same phone really. But for the first time since Ive started rooting phones in these past couple months i find myself with no phone to toy with. Developing root is much beyond my skill set. Lets get some root action on these two phones........please!!

Im just using Antutu for the first time so Im not exactly sure if I'm quoting you the right set of numbers but I got 60,403 if that seems logical.
Ok seeing as no-one could be bothered to respond to my post I'm just gonna leave this here.
It may boot it may not? It may not even install if this device has a locked bootloader.
If it does then great, report any issues along with the recovery log.
If it doesn't then descriptive information is required along with screenshots where possible. Anybody who simply posts generic 'NOT WORKING' will be ignored.

It flashed just fine, but will not boot. The partitions seem to be off as you can not access microsd, or internal storage and wipe gets permission denied errors for usb otg and microsd. Thanks for working on this...I tried porting it but it didn't even flash:crying:

You say it doesn't boot, but it clearly has, confused?
Also the errors I'm seeing is what I expected using the stock kernel.
The next build will be using a custom built kernel and all those issues should be fixed.
The internal storage won't mount until the /data partition is FORMATTED to remove encryption.
Thanks for testing and reporting.

Thanks for putting your foot forward and working on this. Development is beyond my scale of knowledge. Someone had posted the open-source for the model but i dont know what to do with it. If not to much you ask think you might do something for the j327t as well? I have both but the j3 prime is my day to day.

So just got this phone on vodafone UK and it is fairly new.
Any idea how to root it? I have had some experience with this kind of stuff.
Watch this video i uploaded on YouTube maybe this would help.

In the mos times you just need to download a zip file that 'roots' . Enter recovery and use it as an upgrade. Just reboot and you are fine
I have a SII Lite :B

Express 2 SM-G3815
Hello, I would be also interested in the solution to root this device. It seems its so new that the way to do it is hard to find. I guess the previous poster is only to aware that this would void his warranty.
So anyone care to enlighten the knowledge in how to proceed to lift the root restrictions.
I have found that Vol Button down, Home, Power gains download mode.
Galaxy Express 2 SM-G3815
Anyone reading this. . Please help.
If it is true that this device is almost an s4 mini then perhaps with heimdall one can try to instal s4 mini recovery image. Once booted in recovery one can mount device system partiton rw and copy some superuser apk and the su binary to their places.

As it turns out kernel source is available (SM-G3815_JB_Opensource.zip)
but some kernel configs try to limit root usage, like:
CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING=y
CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_SETUID=y
CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_FORK=y
CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING_LOG=y
I built kernel without these restrictions, but I have no SM-G3815 (yet) to try

according to the "builder CWM" this recovery would have to go.
I compressions after the. tar.md5, the folder is located odin, CWM, and original recovery, and root.
Not responsible for destroying your phone. Better not try this recovery if you do not get it.
I personally test tomorrow, now I have this phone available, I own a nexus 5, this phone it is a family member.

I have ported roms in the past to Kindle Fire HD from the Nexus tabs. It's way easier to port than to build a rom from scratch. The tricky part is finding the easiest roms to work with.

Well I would think that you would need a working custom recovery with external SD card support first. Though the big feature I am looking forward to is a kernel that supports Roehsoft Ram Expander (swap) which while it works fine on my S3 does not work at all on the Tab 4 7.0.

There is a fully working recovery with SDcard read/write support as mentioned in THIS post.
What I did was downloaded the TWRP 2.8.0.1 .img for t230 then flashed it over the older non-working TWRP using #Rashr. It works for me on SM-T230NU and wipe works. Dalvik/Cache, everything.

I resstored the device in odin to the latest factory firmware then flashed the twrp in odin, rebooted directly to recovery and flashed supersu. Rebooted to system, set up all my stuff and flashed the new twrp over the old twrp using rashr. I had to reboot once to set up rashr before i could flash but, it all worked perfectly for me

Hi folks,
I just got this device because of the massive battery (a whooping 4850 mAh) and relatively efficient GPU. I like it so far, and have used Kingo Root on it. But I can't find any custom ROM's to flash, and the device is not listed anywhere (GSMArena, CyanogenMod, xda). Does anybody have more information about it? It would be greatly appreciated.
Ditto
I have the same issue...
I have found the stock ROM (CMCC & CTCC versions V12.0.0.15 & V12.0.0.10 respectively) but am almost certain that installing these will leave me without Google Play.
My eBay app has already given up on me after 3 days (it now says "Unfortunately eBay has stopped") and a custom ROM is just the ticket.
If it is any help, this phone is also known as: T551TLC.
Any help out there?

I haven't got expertise to do that unfortunately, but I would like to learn how to do that. The seller had already pre-flashed gapps so I have no issue with that but:
1) There is no update option for Android on the ASUS stock rom (stuck on 5.1).
2) Flashing Cyanogenmod modifies the device in such way that it does not send tethering device information to the phone carrier. With Cyanogenmod 13 on my former Samsung I9505 I'm able to share unlimited data to other devices.
3) ASUS bloatware is unbearable. E.g. I get automatically made "slideshows" done without my permission, by an ASUS program that is impossible to uninstall.
4) The camera lags very badly.
There are other minor issues, bugs, etc that aren't fixed.

It is open source, that means, it is free to the community at the android and cyanogenmod licenses. In conclusion, yes, you may share it legally.

Have you tried installing on the TWRP or CM recovery, from the SD Card? If that doesn't work, maybe you can try using Odin on Windows, using a USB cable.
Also, how different is this rom from the stocks that you've found? Do you know? Let me know after you test it, and if it's good maybe you could upload it and post the link.

OK everyone- here is the link, I think. I have returned mine and got what appears to be a vastly superior Xiaomi Redmi 3s for $105. I love it. And can do all the mods I like without all this faff. However, this might be of use to everyone else!

Excellent news, thank you, I have the model T230 (I think it is the same, processor, ram, etc, the only difference is 3g) the roms of t231 work well in the t230, if you want a beta tester, I could help you

Try patching system/core hardware/libhardware bjt if it doesnt boot, native patches should do the trick ??

Ok. Since i saw that post in the morning (my local time) had busy day, so i didn't have time to research about chipset issue, what we can do, anyone with fine details of how the stuffs should relate, or how the architecture if the chipset works, can link me up so that we can find a way of getting cm on this device. Am having some ample time to do this work since my studdies are yet to commence (tbh, its because of lectures strike in kenya and bieng in public uni of course means directly affected )
Ill try your suggestions.
if anyone have come across any article or thread describing the work around, can tag on this thread, well see it.

Okay tell me the issues after or do a logcat. I'll help asap.
So it looks like chainfire has developed a root for the Snapdragon variants of the s8 using CF Auto root. Still no unlocked bootloader or TWRP but it's a start.

The EngBoot.img will be released within the next couple days. That means that root will come soon after that.
Delete this thread. People have already talked about this so much. Those files were released by a bot that generates it for any device. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, flashing this will fail. You're essentially baiting people and wasting their time.

Not going to buy it not worth the hassle and if everyone look the the gsmfourm they have it posted for the open public I see no reason to use it because the bootloader are locked not point what so ever

So where is it...???
Root DOES exist on the S8 Plus CAN and US variants
I just went on Chainfire's website and the root DOES exist.
Just do CTRL + F or Command +F for Macs and type in the Model Number. In my case it was the G955W. So yes the OP is right and yes there is a root out for all S8 Plus devices for Snapdragon variants.
And no this is not a bot that generates it, this is the real thing.
:fingers-crossed:
