Guide to rooting a Samsung Galaxy J-3 achieve wrote it out on Samsung Notes can't figure out how to get it on here it's more like a book

Is Magisk the only root option available for the SM-J337P? (Galaxy J3 2018 J3TOPELTESPR) This device is actually quite decent, the Exynos 7884a which is simply an underclocked Exynos 7885, is a fairly good SOC, gaming on this device is fairly good, it beats the octa-core snapdragons until you get to the snapdragon 636 & 660 which have a better GPU, there are a large number of these devices out there, I only purchased this device to use it unactivated, I paid ~$87 for it back in November 2018 & use it daily, it performs very well, for having such a small battery 2600mAh it has good battery life, & doesn't get hot when gaming.

Looking for files Plus combination for J337PVPS2ASA1 could anyone help me out?

Has this rooting method ever worked on any Samsung Galaxy J3 of 2018?
In the Google Drive link above from rpdsr66 is the most detailed step by step rooting instruction found anywhere yet but has anyone actually ever completed the process successfully on any Samsung Galaxy J3 model of 2018, particularly the Achieve? Someone please post your results here below in confirmation of success or failure so that hundreds do not sabotage their phones. Most importantly, warn us all of 'what not to try' since that seems to be the most plentiful knowledge available so far which will steer us away from the wrong direction into the right direction.

Apparently there isn't a way. I've searched until my head is swollen, headaches from searching so much. Gah!

Magisk only
You can root your phone by Magisk.
But, SM-J337P has NO TWRP recovery. (TWRP Builder site's file is corrupted. It causes bootloop.)
Thus, you can install Magisk by boot image patching.
Boot image patching method is here ↓

Warning ) Must use "patched odin" when you flash Magisk boot image.

Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit (SM-S367VL) Looking for advice on how to root.

I've looked for quite a while on anything that could help me root the phone, and have had no success with anything. I'm worrying at this point that the bootloader is just locked and have to ask, is there anything else I can do to root this phone? Willing to try pretty much anything, even at risk of bricking it.

I'm interested in this too but in all likelihood nobody with the knowledge is even working on it because this is a niche phone.
Locked bootloader..
Well i have this fone now...i bought it because it was a good deal so it seemed..Less than 100$ for fone and service activation plan...I have rooted just about every Samsung i have ever owned...So heres what i have come up with..There is no OEM option in Developer options...On any other samsung fone i always go right into developer options and disable OEM by turning it off...Then i either have used Kingroot apk or Kingoroot apk in the past and they have worked...sometimes u have to find the perfect version to match your android software specifically...Now i have always had huge success with Odin and flashing TWRP via Laptop or Computer via USB connection, but thats something each individual should personally take the time and educate theirselves on just in case... Sorry to say that the Samsung J3 Orbit with Total Wireless and Oreo 8.0 needs a serious look at...

Your phone is a 2018 model of the j3. When xda finally makes a J3 (2018) thread i will request for this thread to be moved. Any root methods shown in J3 (2017) are likely not to work anymore since samsung patched the methods used. The only way to root phones now is by buying the U variants of samsung's phones which are only available from samsung's website under unlocked phones. Unlocked phones from samsung have an unlocked bootloader by default.

U models are normally U.S. models which are locked tight. I run a s8 as my everyday driver which is rooted. The s9 s10 and most other us snapdragon and in this case exynos all are locked tight. And they cannot be rooted as of right now. The sampwn and other samfail do not work anymore. The U model you are referring to is the U.S. sim unlocked model not bootloader. With the S series F is the European bootloader unlocked model I don't know the European letter for J series.
Until some one finds a way to push a rooted system img on stock permissive combination kernel root will not come just like s9 and s10 us models
If these where us snapdragon we could push a rooted system combination file with safestrap just like we do on the newer bootloader on s8 using EDL and Qualcomm 9008
Just had an idea, another thread on this forum a guy says he made a modified version of Odin that can flash mix matched models. So just flash a model version of the j3 orbit that can be rooted or at least oem unlock capable to be able to flash twrp and then be able to root through twrp.
If flashing a j3 with a model number different than sm-367vl would brick it, just extract the .img partitions like boot.img or whatever the partition may be with ubuntu to restore one by one until you find which one makes the phone boot.
I don't know much about phones when it comes to this depth of modification. But I had a lg zone 3 that used this method to turn an unrootable model number version into a different model number that was rootable. Before I flashed the .img partitions of the stock software the screen had lines all over it, so using screen mirroring I was able to root the different model number software then download partition backup and restore app them restore the partitions that were for the original model number.
So basically it took both model numbers and combined some partitions of each to make it work properly.
In my head I can totally see this working. Just depends on how close to the same hardware each model number of the galaxy j3 has i guess.
I wish I would have noticed/seen this a bit sooner.. any progress or luck? I have the j337u ...
I know chimera tool is able to remove Knox kglock oemlock rmm mdm , of which mine shows kglock on, oemlock: on, frplock off. Trying to flash anything gives the error insufficient payment somethin. So there's got to be a way around it. ALSO I found interesting, the FCC id has J337t instead of U ...wonder why that is ...
(Anyone know where I can get stock j260AZ/AIO -notpaid- (cricket) firmware,I've literally checked every where )
We need someone to take that new 0day exploit rootPoC mod it however and release it
Found this [Have not tried it yet]
Came across an article on androidbiits. Not sure it's actually viable. Unfortunately I cant post the direct link until I have enough posts under my belt.
I'm willing to pitch in if someone can point me in the right direction.
Yhuda
How now????You are find How to root this phone????Please add Develop for find How to root Samsung J3 Orbit?!??
For my kglock on, oem lock on j337u, which also has some new mdm / rmm on it from consumer , I used chimera tool to set KGLock to Complete.
This also switched the oem lock to off and show the toggle in Dev ops....
1st flash of magical patched img worked. But after.connectinf.the Wi-Fi , knox enrollment and instantly a sec. Msg popped up and locked up the entire device. No usb connection or.anything.
factory reset
Same Issue,.then locks up
So for try 3, flash the patched boot, let boot.
AS SOON AS ITboots to android, hit the Airplane Mode toggle to activate it to stop Knox Enrollmnt
So er.gont get
was able to unlock the boatloader with comb file that was compatible, flashed stock track phone, updated to 9 pie...
used a gig pressed power button ???
9 pie trac phone j3 orbit
patched AP file with majisk, ran with Odin : says noway fail, I was able to reflash with stock firmware, so it doesn't work on mine...
any other luck
thanks
I would really like to know if anyone has succeeded either rooting or SIM unlocking or flashing with a different firmware on this model.
I was able to access the OEM unlock in my J3 Orbit (SM-S367VL) via factory binary after flashing combination firmware.
That is as far as Ive gotten. I am assuming you would want to run ADB download mode to flash anything as factory binary seems to have some security measures against full bootloader unlock built in

Rooting an obscure phone - Doogee N20

I've rooted and used custom ROMs on past phones such as the Samsung Galaxy series but now I am the owner of a very niche phone in the form of the Doogee N20 and I was wondering how to go about rooting it successfully without the help of a large user-base that has already figured it all out beforehand?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Afaik rooting methods are pretty universal. You need to patch a file called "boot.img" and flash it to your device with fastboot.
To patch it you need magisk canary. And to flash it you need fastboot and your phone's drivers.
Here is a video doing this on a OnePlus 8 :
You can try it yourself and see if it works. It seems you're not new to rooting, custom ROM install so you know the classic disclaimer "I'm not responsible for your phone, you did it, not me..."
Good luck.
(I personally didn't try this method since my phone is 5 year old and rooted from the beginning, but this new way of doing it is pretty convient)

Rooting a Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T)

Hi. I'm new here as a member, but I've found this site from my interest in rooting earlier this year. I'm aware of losing data and accidental bricking, and I've been searching for quite a while. I'm mostly interested to get rid of "bloatware" and remove ads. I currently don't know where or how to start, but I did start backing up files and data to keep. I also got SuperSU and Titanium Backup (and ADB installed on my computer).
I came across several pages of stuff, but I couldn't find anything recent/relevant. Links:

This would be a thread you'd want to take a look at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616. Unfortunately, you are on binary #11/B, and there is no root for that. There is no eng.boot for that, and that's what you need in order to root. The last eng.boot was for #10/A.

Not until there is the correct eng.boot for the current binary. Our bootloader's are locked, so no way to downgrade.

Root method for Samsung Galaxy Xcover Fieldpro? (SM-G889A)

Anyone know of a working method to root this phone?
I have a few on the AT&T network. I couldn't find a sub-forum here for this specific device.
I am also looking for pointers. Trying to edit my build.prop, but if I can get full on root and recovery, I'd be elated.
it's currently not possible to root xcover fieldpro since rom from this model are unvailable on public, even tools like friya can't download it. original rom are needed to make twrp or patch boot.img wirh magisk

I have the BL5 stock roms and combination files. Had to pay for them. Would love to share them with developers who can cook something up like the cool people did for my S8 Active with that SamFail V2 ROM or whatever. As it stands, even with flashing the combination file that has a passive state on the kernel, still can't get it running for user ways. It's set up for purely development. If you could get me the build number info, I'll try to track down your ROM for ya, found a bunch of them, but only downloaded my own bootloader version so that way, I didn't update bootloader and screw myself.
Only thing I can think of in my mind, is unzipping the ROM and putting in the SU files in all the proper places, zipping it back up, and then flashing it, but unsure if that would even work.
Has anything changed on root options for this device?
There's an XDA thread out for a paid service that was supposed good for up to certain versions of firmware on several Galaxy devices (up to early 2020 and earlier security patches I think).
The guy had listed an Xcover Pro as one of the successes of his patch, so I had hopes.
Since this FieldPro is not even a Snapdragon chipset, but an Exynos, I figured it was less restricted and someone might have heard of an exploit by now.

Question Does M12 have successful root?

Hello,
I don't use M12, but I know that M12 is a device that is very similar to A21S. (the only difference is lack of some sensors+nfc, addition of 90hz display, and bigger battery)
Recently, I was able to successfully root A21s with some modification to the Magisk app, to bypass a problem in the kernel that tricked Magisk into causing boot loop. After this, I thought M12 might have similar problems, since it is pretty much the same phone as A21S.
When I looked at the kernel source and boot.img of M12, it seems that it has the exact same problems that prevented A21s from getting Magisk to work on stock ROMs.
This means that when M12's stock ROM is patched with Magisk, it can cause boot loop.
Since I don't have the device, I can't test anything. Is there anyone who had successfully rooted the device with Magisk? (I saw one thread that gave instructions for root, but there has been no report that it had succeeded or failed)
Already rooted 2 weeks back but yes method is different. i used MagiskManager-v7.5.1 App to patch boot.img and it does only half work but yes we need to add extra steps like how new magisk version does towards packing boot.img manually.
note - the thread which you mentioned towards rooting will never work i mean you already mentioned reason.

You should patch the entire AP, or else it'll have some problems.
