Please, don't overshare! Leave some of the magic to be discovered
So how do I turn this into root access on my g892u?
Is this file for flashing in Odin? Please elaborate for those of us who lack expertise.
Thanks a million to anybody who is working on a root for this amazing phone!!
Anyone try this yet? And I assume this is the engineering BL. Based off the title, so wouldn't we still need someone like chainfire to release root for the device? Also I wonder if this is for 892A or 892U.
To many unanswered questions.
I flashed this and it did work for the T-Mobile 892U variant. However all it appears to be is the unlocked/engineering bl and nothing more. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. I was successfully able to flash back to stock afterward so we do at least have that small comfort that the stock images are out. I tested flashing the s8 and s8 plus images and there's no compatibility between this and them. If anyone can find anything more I'll use my phone as the guinea pig for it.
If someone has the 892a like myself and we are on bootloader 2, we don't currently have Odin files to return to stock. The only files available are BL1. I assume the u fw is still on the same BL as the released Odin files.
It is. Have you tried flashing this and then following up with the fw for the u to see if it can put the a on the u fw? And last I looked you do have Odin files for the a. Let me find the link.

Those are ota zips posted, the a Odin files are still BL1, so we can't use them anymore. And I have not tried flashing u for that exact reason. The inability to get back.
And a locked bootloader...

The bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked to reflash fw w Odin. That's the point of having the Odin files.
How does that work, having multiple bootloaders? I've never had to deal with that before.
You don't have multiple bootloaders.s, you would flash the engineering BL in place of our current. But again there is no way to revert right now.
So I have the a active I understand I cannot revert back but will this achieve root?

Theoretically it could but we would need a way to implement SU you can try this and then install SuperSU but I have a feeling that we need a binary built for this phone.
If what you are asking is if only flashing this file and Odin will give you root the answer is no however it is the first step to root assuming that the Eng bootloader allows root. I won't test this or go any further until there are Odin files released for bootloader 2
Had a feeling that would be the case, I didn't want to try anything until I knew for sure. If we're on BL2 wouldn't this never technically work since it's BL1?

Infyrno was able to flash it to his 892u per his post, I'm not sure what BL he was on, or what BL the 892u is at perhaps T-Mobile is still on BL1

You are correct this is only the Eng bootloader. We do not have full root confirmed yet.
This isn't even an "engineering" bootloader, it's just the one from the factory firmware called "combination" on the various sites online. It's the active version of the same one used to root the s8 s8+ and n8
The real engineering bootloader and boot won't boot on our phones, as somehow the engineers devices are marked for it

Thank you for these suggestions.
However, they all consist in flashing a stock ROM and bootloader onto the device, overwriting the current setup.
Do I really need to to this, given that the current bootloader is stock (never flashed it, not needed with the method I used) and the ROM is 100% stock also (came from OTA). I am really curious about this thing and would like to understand what went wrong, instead of just overwriting everything and starting over.
Anyways, the suggested method should be fine in case i need to return the tablet for warranty purposes. That was my primary concern. Thanks!

When you you root you replace stock files and add some new files that are detected by the installation process of the OTA updates. This sets a flag to block further updates from Samsung. You can still update by restoring to stock then getting the updates then rooting again, but OTAs will not be automatically delivered to your device while its rooted.
Hey all,
New Note 5 owner. My firmware shows OK3, all the instructions I see seem to address firmware before that one, unless my interpretation of firmware versions is incorrect... Anyone know the thread I need to look at for rooting on OK3? I don't mind losing Samsung Pay. Thanks!!
⬆ same here.. I would like to know
Same as a all firmwares
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Premium HD app
Its easy
Flash twrp voa odin and then use it to flash a rom or a kernal and supersu. Just read the posts it is as easy as explained. I would provode links but it is wose to search and read until your comfortable with the process. Dont overthink it it really is as easy as the posts describe. Just follow all directions and ot will be smooth sailing.

I'm rooted with ok3 now, no issues to report. Wasn't a major update.
I guess let me ask one follow up question. I am doing the root process now, thanks for the info btw! -- Let's say I want to go back to stock. I know knox will still show tripped - but if i flash the stock .tar and all goes well, at that point would i be able to take OTAs? Or is it the fact that knox is tripped that is causing problems for people?

So you were able to unlocked the S906L? Can you use it with another carrier besides Tracfone? I have a s906l I've tried to unlock it everywhere but I have been told that these are specials models that cannot be unlocked.

Hi all,
Apologies for such a simple question, but there are a bunch of different threads over the last few months that have slightly differing techniques for rooting and adding TWRP to the J7, but there seem to be a ton of different versions compared to the J3 and I need to make sure I'm following the right directions for a Boost Mobile j700p. I don't want to waste time and risk softbricking this brand new device, so does anyone know or can link me to the most up-to-date reliable method? I just upgraded from a j3 and it seems like the method is very similar if not identical (odin twrp on, flash chainfire supersu, flash xposed) but I just to make sure I am following the right directions and using the right files. This is for a brand new Boost Mobile j700p.
I have attached a screenshot of my phone info, in case firmware version or baseband etc info is relevant.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

This is the way i was able to root my version of the J700P. MY phone is the same as the screen shot provided. The only issue that i had was once i flashed TWRP and did a backup, the phone would constantly boot into TWRP Recovery. So i had to reflash stock rom and root again oh and i unchecked OEM unlock to off, didnt realize i needed to leave it on so i wouldnt get the FRP Lock lol. Still waiting on someone to let me know how i can install TWRP Recovery and it work and not soft brick.

i have twrp, the most current version on the sm j700p. All you gotta do is use odin to install it. Just make sure u use the most recent odin and twrp file for j700p. Then when u place it in AP with odin make sure auto reboot option is turned off so it fully installs it. If u have auto reboot on it will not complete the process.
Ok I will give that a try, tyvm. I cant uncheck auto reboot. Here is a screenshot.

GPU: Mali G71
RAM: 2GB
Internal Storage: 16GB
(source: mobitabspecs.com)
I also found this about the Exynos 7884:
The Exynos 7884, meanwhile, has the same setup as the Exynos 7885. Two Cortex-A72 cores are accompanied by six Cortex-A53 cores, but with a lower clock speed.

I obtained an inoperable device from a friend. He tried rooting, tried flashing, even tried to flash a factory binary thinking he could circumvent Straight Talk's ridiculous bootloader unlock policy, but in the end, he pretty much bricked it. It wouldn't boot into recovery, it wouldn't boot into download mode, and it was stuck in some sort of device test mode. I was able to find out that in that factory binary mode, Odin was able to recognize the device and connect to it. I flashed the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files in Odin 3.13 I think was the version. Now it's back to stock. On the plus side, doing so removed the Google account associated with the phone. I am trying to pull the 'boot.img' file so you can patch it.
