I just bought myself the new J3 (SM-J327U). It's been a while since I owned a Samsung. I want to flash TWRP and root the thing. Can anyone help?
Refer to my thread in the guides section. But twrp hasnt been created yet for this device so be aware. It will be some time.

While I have found tons of tutorials for rooting various models of the s5, I haven't found mine yet. Here's the details:
Galaxy s5
model: SC-04F
carrier: NTT Docomo (Japan)
android 5.0 Lollipop
kernel version: 3.4.0-5605451
KNOX version: 2.3
Admittedly I am in over my head. It's my first time attempting a root and this model seems to be a tricky one. In my search I found a few automated solutions for the SC-04F model of gs5, but they were all meant for android 4.4.2. I decided to give it a try despite this difference (not a good idea, I'm sure). This method revolved around flashing with Oden using a CF-Auto Root file. Oden flashed the device, restarted it and gave me the green "passed" notification. After flashing I used Root Checker to verify, and sure enough it was rooted.
So far so good, but then I opened SuperSu (which installed as part of the automated flash) and it needed to update binaries. I tried the "normal" installation method, which failed, and then did some reading that suggested updating the SuperSu app from the Play Store. It did need an update, so I updated. This changed nothing. Just out of curiosity I check Root Checker again, and all the sudden I was no longer correctly rooted.
I have tried repeating the flash process from the beginning to no success. I haven't been able to root it since. Nor have I been able to use SuperSu to "Full Unroot" the device. I would like to have one or the other; establish root or completely unroot. I seem to be somewhere in the middle and it's very frustrating.
Any pointers?

Thanks! will do.
I posted the same thread in Q&A but haven't got an answer yet and I feel that this section is more suited to my question
I recently bought this phone of Amazon, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doopro-Smar.../dp/B071HN52FQ as I lost my OP3
I have been trying to root it for few hours with no luck, there seems to be no mention of this phone on XDA or anywhere else
I managed to get adb driver to work after some struggle, then followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2684210 but didn't work at linux stage
I tried to sideload flashable SuperSU but that gives me error 255
I have been able to unlock the bootloader via developer settings :0 so just need a compatible recovery any help is appreciated
So kinda stuck atm if anyone has any suggestions would be great
P.S I don't think TWRP or CWM recovery support this phone
Did you ask Doopro support? Doopro is a daughter of Doogee. The website is http://www.doopro.cc
Vodafone Smart V8 ROM
Alright the original ROM can be found on the official ZTE device Support website which you can find here: ztedevice.com/support
This would be useful if many users have already messed up their phone and still have access to stock recovery.
Since we have the firmware now it can progress onto TWRP being made for the smartphone. If anyone does attempt this please do remember to turn off the system updates, disable any logs or feedback logging which can be found in the phones settings -> about phone. Another thing is to remember to unlock the boot loader. This would be useful for rooting. I am not sure if Kingroot PC would root the phone since it does have a high success rate but the thing is Kingroot PC is very buggy. It can say that the root process failed but it actually rooted your phone successfully.
Please do remember that warranties will be void if someone does port the TWRP but if someone does port it post it here.
Sorry but I am a new member so I am having issues with links and etc so I will update this thread soon

I don't have this device but, the following area of the forum is specific to your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5
With that stated...
This is not an easy question to answer because there's a handful of Custom Firmware releases that's specific to your J5 (2015) variant device.
The following is the area where you can locate many of the Custom Firmwares and don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within the one you choose to install. Just be sure to read that threads OP (OP = Original Post, which means Post #1) first to prevent from asking a question already answered in it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development
There's other Custom Firmware released in other areas but, that one is, typically, where they all should be for this variant.
I wish you the best of luck!

What should i do
You'll have much better luck if you include relevant details - device model, Android version, firmware you're using, and what you were trying to do when you encountered the issue.
You can use the Manufacturers link at the top of the page to find the OEM for your device; you should then be able to find the subforum for your specific device model. It helps to ask relevant questions where everyone else is talking about the same thing.

TWRP is a Custom Recovery.
