How to block new Samsung Galaxy S9 w/Oreo from receiving OTA update to Android Pie - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have a new-in-the-box Samsung Galaxy S9 that I want to prevent from receiving the OTA auto-update to Android Pie. I thought I might be able to root it before connecting to my carrier's network (Tmobile) or the Internet. However, after reading some posts here, it's my understanding that my model (SM-G960U) cannot be rooted because the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
So, does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to avoid getting Pie'd? I do not want to lose some of the features that are present in Oreo that have been removed. In talking to Samsung and Tmobile I was told that the Pie update would be automatically pushed once the phone is connected to the network, and even if I ignore the incessant nag Update notifications, eventually the update will install itself anyway. I am hoping there is some way I can block this update from happening, but I am a total noob to this so any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Blocking updates indefinitely is usually device specific.
Whatever methods are available to you can be found with a search for how to block updates on your specific model number. If searches using your model number aren't revealing anything, you'll more than likely have to dig your way through it yourself.
It will more than likely require rooted the device. You'll have to try finding a way to root the device without unlocking bootloader or flashing TWRP and Magisk.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I did try searching for my model number and blocking updates, and found nothing other than my post now. And I can confirm that changing Auto Update settings on my phone has no effect. The phone I am typing this on was upgraded to Pie in spite of these settings.
I have also been unable to find instructions for rooting my phone. If anyone knows of a way to root my Samsung S9 model number SM-G960U please let me know. Or if you know of a 3rd party app or other method that will prevent Pie from being installed on my phone I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

[Q] rooting blocked

Hi,
Just used chainfires rooting program for my galaxy note 2. Did everything correctly , odin and the phone showed everything done right.But after re- booting, something in phones security blocked the rooting. What can I do?
describe clearly
was ur boot loader unlocked? and was the phone carrier specific like u bought the phone from at&t,tmobile,verizon or sprint?

My phone is the AT&T version of the note 2. The root that I used was for this version. As for the boot loader, I'm not sure what you mean. I ran not the files through odin, just as described in the video.odin showed that everything was good. As did the phone until it re booted. Samsung is doing automatic Security updates now. And after the phone booted up, a message popped up from Samsung saying "an attempt to access a Secure area of your phone without authorization has been blocked."
My next step will be to install a custom rom. But I don't know if they will be able to block me from accomplishing this as well. This whole thing is really getting frustrating. It all started when I ran the update to 4.3 couple of weeks ago, and lost my tethering ability. This all I want. Just to get the free tethering app to work again. I had jelly bean 4.1.2. And the tethering app worked perfectly every time. Now with 4.3, doesn't work anymore. Do I need to downgrade back to 4.1.2? Or is their an easier solution? I'm wondering if it will matter what jelly bean you're using anymore if they're going to do auto security up dates that block all these type of things like custom rooms and rooting. Please tell me I'm wrong!
Thanks.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (G360T)

Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

Rooting using the same files as G360t1
I have rooted the g360t using the files from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522 which are for the g360t1 variant and it went well but you have to go to developer options and activate OEM unlocking for it to work and I did it with Odin version 1.85.

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. Here´s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.
Follow this thread here for all your root needs for this device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...should work just fine for the tmobile version
will this allow me to use a at&t sim card in my SM-G360T phone instead of T-Mobile

Just a thought that crossed my mind...

It a probably already been tried but I have not seen or heard any information regarding it, with Odin and a full firmware instalation using t-mobiles note 5 firmware would be be able to successfully unlock the bootloader and and root a Verizon note 5. Just a thought that popped into my head.

It won't flash because the images are device specific and digitally signed. There is no way around this without the encryption keys from Verizon or Samsung and obtaining those or cracking the encryption isn't happening in my lifetime unless they are leaked and I highly doubt that will happen. We have traveled this dead end many times but it didn't hut to ask if you didn't know. The chances of root are slim to none on this device. They most likely added system write protection to the bootloader so even if someone roots it that will be gone on the first reboot.
I do appreciate the response
It's gonna take some real money to explore root on this device (destroying phones in the process ).

Samsung j3 2017 root

Hey I'm new to the world of rooting. Wanna do it to get past the network tethering thing. I pay for hotspot. But even planet didn't stop my 8gigs from being used up. So I've started searching for how to keep going with my hotspot.
I have no idea how to do anything past basics. So the more detailed and lamen the answers the easier.
I guess to root the Samsung j3 with nougat on it is first get past unlocking it.
Any helpful tip to get the unlock code for free?
Next is rooting it. A lot of techno babble baffled me all night long. So yeah that's what I'm trying to get help with.
Thanks for the time you guys may spend

I also have a Samsung J3 running Nougat that I would like to root. Mine is a Samsung J3 Unlocked (SM-327U) running Android 7.0 with May 1, 2017 patches. I've enabled the "OEM unlock" under Developer Options but I can't find a tutorial or TWRP image that supports this version. I want to install SuperSU but I'm stuck without TWRP support. I've already tried both OneClickRoot and Kingo, both of which state that the device is unsupported. I'm assuming that under the hood they are just scripting out the process but still using the same Odin/TWRP/etc process.
Any ideas? Is there a way to translate the changes necessary from another version of the J3 (e.g. SM-327YZ) to this firmware or are we stuck waiting for supported to be added to these (awesome) tools?
Thank you!
After unlock
After the phone is unlocked it should be easier to root it. I have a few more days in my service cycle till I reach the phone active 90 days to get the free unlock. After that I'll start trying to figure out how to flash it again
Hello,
like you'll see I'm new here. My problem is, that i can't root my european Galaxy J3 (2017).
Model-No is SM-J330F/DS.
Is it just me or is every single root-method actually a fake for this device?

My J727T is carrier unlocked because i bought it outright at full retail. I dont know how an carrier unlocked device would change anything. Our bootloader is locked which has nothing to do with being carrier unlocked...
Sorry for Hijacking Thread...
Maybe I will buy SM-J330F in Germany as it is cheap... 200 Euro...
and seems no Fingerprint Sensor. :good:
For Germany DBT I found latest Firmware:
Code:
J330FXXU1[B]AQH2[/B]
Please.
Can I root SM-J330F
If yes, how?
Maybe somebody can please give Link to Instruction...
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
if you want to bypass the 8gb hotspot limit you have to use foxfi and enable proxy in the app. if you set it correctly on your pc or gaming console it will not use data. no root is required anymore. i downloaded a full game on my ps4 using my hotspot and it hasn't used any data except my normal data and that doesn't matter since i have unlimited lte data.

I successfully rooted my J327U witb Chainfire's CF Autoroot (the T-Mobile variant J327T) via Odin.
After Root I installed Flashfire ( also by xda-developer Chainfire). I'm still playing with the app's various features but so far it is pretty awesome definitely an app I'll be making a donation to this next paycheck) you'll be able to make a backup of your device with it. Hope this helps.

It wont work. The tmobile variant and even the metropcs variant is bootloader locked therefore you cannot flash anything. I have a metropcs variant and everyone else in another thread has also. Me and a few others have tried for months to get root and it failed miserably. I suggest buying the sm-j327u. You can get it on samsung.com

Rooting shouldn't be a problem for this device
Post some specifics on what you have tried and the reason for failure.
I should be able to get something up if you post the details above and your firmware details.

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ this should help. the firmware for the device is here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-J330FN/ make sure to choose your carrier along with the correct country. the cf autoroot for the j330f is on the firmware.mobi site it should work if you use odin. if it fails to flash or something goes wrong you should have your stock firmware.

The CF Autoroot that I used on my J327U is for the T-Mobile (J327T). I'm not sure if they started locking down their bootloaders, so you'll have to perform due dilligence on that end. If you do decide to give it a go, make sure you enable USB debugging and OEM unlock under developer options.

Hello,
like you'll see I'm new here. My problem is, that i can't root my european Galaxy J3 (2017).
Model-No is SM-J330F/DS.
Is it just me or is every single root-method actually a fake for this device?

if you want to bypass the 8gb hotspot limit you have to use foxfi and enable proxy in the app. if you set it correctly on your pc or gaming console it will not use data. no root is required anymore. i downloaded a full game on my ps4 using my hotspot and it hasn't used any data except my normal data and that doesn't matter since i have unlimited lte data.

I used the same app and used proxy but just saying if you use your ps4 (setup for the proxy on pdanet or foxfi) it will only work for soo long because depending on what your doing on the internet with your ps4 it may or may not count data. I have past 8gb on my hotspot and i mostly just updated games and my ps4 system software and watched videos on youtube.
J330FN (dont know if its DS variant)
I have tried the CF-AUTOROOT website and can't for the life of me, to get it to work.
I dont want to double post, so here is my reply in the firmware.mobi thread: ==>Click here <==
If i figure it out, or someone has succesfully helped me in rooting this monster of a phone, i will post back to help others.

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:

TWRP for Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos)
[Recovery][Exynos] Official TWRP for Galaxy S7 (herolte)
[DISCUSSION][S7-SNAPDRAGON]Unlock Bootloader - R&D
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be helpful! I can use a PC (Windows 10) for doing part of the rooting process if necessary.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 with T-Mobile as the carrier. Model SM-G930T, version 8.0.0, and build number (just in case) R16NW.G930TUVSBCTA2.

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.

Hi and thanks! I'm guessing that means I can't root with my current device...?
Oh, and I did check out that thread, but I can't tell if it will work for my device (or what I'll need).

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

Ah, great... I'll wait for the eng.boot then. Thanks again.
Hope the process for the eng.boot goes well.
I am also waiting for an eng boot for my G930T with baseband version G930TUVSBCTA2 ...
Me too
Root Help!!!
I am also on a Samsung Galaxy S7 with T-Mobile as the carrier. Model SM-G930T, version 8.0.0, and build number R16NW.G930TUVSBCTA2.
When trying to Root using odin, I keep getting the SW Rev Check Fail: [Boot] Fused 11 > binary 8 (or 1, or 4; it depends on which Tar I am using to attempt root).
If anyone finds a solution, please share! Thx!!!
