Does anyone know how to Root Samsung Galaxy J7 (J700P)?

I see other threads for J700F/H/M etc.. But nothing for the J700P.

Same here. I need the root to disable the hotspot limit. But it doesn't seem like the J700P is recieving much attention.

use Chainfire's SuprSu file for rooting...it is easy

first try to get TWRP for your phone and then flash Chainfire's SuperSu zip in recovery mode or check following website of developer if your phone is already supported and you can do without recovery

You can't root it without first getting twrp flashed which doesn't work for the P version yet.

There aren't any. No one has root on our phone yet

[I wish we had] Root for s8 and s8+ (Snapdragon variants)

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.

Check my screen shot below. This is for Snapdragon

I'm guessing it will block samsung pay from working?

This doesn't look like it's for Snapdragon... THIS IS NOT FOR SNAP DRAGON! Do not use this otherwise bye bye device!!

Root will be out by the end of this week. Don't worry about it.

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.

If you want to install the S8+ stock, you can download Samsung Smart Switch (just Google it) to your PC or Mac and connect your phone. The program will recognize your phone's model and download its up-to-date firmware and install it. Give it a shot.

Unlock Bootloader

Hello. Sorry for my English) I do not know exactly or not, but it seems I unlocked the bootloader. I did this on Android 7. Just flash this via Odin. Maybe it will be useful for somebody.

This is really helpful.
Since my bootloader is unlocked, as what is says in Settings -> About Phone -> Phone Status -> Custom (scroll all the way down), I will try to gather more information on how to root 7.0. on the S6
Edit: So far, I'm getting "SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY)" on my phone.

I am get the same ... maybe need special recovery for this model?

I don't know. I used to have a s3 and after 4.3, I wasn't able to unlock my bootloader anymore.
It's based on Verizon's code. So I don't know how you will deal with it.

One step close, just need a recovery and all done, just wait a little more. Thanks for that.

I have not tried this. Some video available to see it.
And hopefully they can do root.
And then customizable rom versions

huawei mate 20 X Bootloader

Yes chinese mate 20 X can be unlocked 100% sure

Awesome. Seriously interested in this phone but have never had an unrooted phone so more details would be much appreciated. What software are you using here? I'm presuming this is only possible on the Chinese variant and not the global? Will you be attempting to install Magisk? Thanks in advance.

I am so much tempting to install magisk but i need stock boot.img file to patch and flash via adb but its risky haha lets see what happens

Great stuff. Thanks for the fast reply. I'll be watching for any updates with interest ! I can't live without adblock, afwall and titanium. Plus I'd be wanting to remove any bloatware which for me includes everything Google.

I'd prefer the global rom, the only reason I chose the Chinese rom is because the L29 didnt come in 8GB/256GB.

Nothing, I keep using it I have the Huawei Honor Note 8, which was also Chinese, and it was fine, just some of the Chinese applications I wish has English option to use. But So far this phone is great, slightly smaller then the HN8 but still awesome.
