ok so i have always been able to root my previous galaxies but i have come to understand that i cannot unlock bootloader on the J7 (sm-j727vpp) so my question is can i still flash to different mods without rooting ?
really dont like stock launcher and apps that cannot be removed so I'd like to get some input on other options besides other launchers.
Thanks in advance...

Please help: Newbie with T-Mobiles Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L Newest build
Please forgive me if I've over looked any other post about this. I am definitely, a complete infant when it come to phones. I did manage to root a Motorola Atrix 2 (MB865) which I paid to have unlocked from AT&T. I never did anything to the phone other than root it; didn't know what to do after that. I did install Titanium Backup, Superuser, and froze some apps but that's it.
I now have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Lte SGH-T999L with Android Version 4.3; Baseband Version: T999LUVUBNF4;
Build Number: JSS15J.T999LUVUBNF4.
I would love to root this phone, install mods, kernels,etc. but the main thing I'm worried about first is removing bloatware and apps that I don't use but I cant find anything recent that shows how to root, remove bloatware,etc.on a Galaxy S3 Lte with this newer Build Number.
Please, if there is anyone that can point me in the right direction, give me a step-by-step.....I don't know how to downgrade a phone to stock (whatever that means,maybe the way the phone came out of the box???) I want to learn badly and I know every phone is different but I can't afford to mess up the only two phones I have; especially the Galaxy S3 LTE. I would greatly appreciate ANY HELP just remember, I don't know much of anything at all. I can take and read directions...might have to read them more than once but what the hell.
I need opinions and this is what you need to know
Recently bought a Nexus 5 and I am coming from a Galaxy S4 that was my first android phone and I don't know a lot on how to root but my friend taught me how to install new roms after he unlocked the bootloader
I really like how "pure" the system is on my Nexus 5 and how stable it is compared to the roms i used to install on my Galaxy s4, I also like that it doesn't require me to install a new rom everytime the old one becomes buggy.
problem is, I also liked the extra features on the roms i used to instal, like PIE and all that stuff
now... my questions are, Is it worth rooting the nexus 5(also got a nexus7) or am I better off with it like it is ?????
also, do I need to look for a rom for my specific carrier (the phone is unlocked) or any rom will work?
thanks for the help

Any rom will work (easier with a Nexus device right? ).
Rooting is worth as per your needs. Rooting will allow you to use LMT Launcher (PIE Controls and other cool stuff).
Anyways you can root then unroot if needed.

Unlike Galaxy devices, where there are a million different carrier versions of the same phone, each incompatible and with different hardware to each other, there are only 2 models of Nexus 5 and EVERYTHING is fully compatible with both.
Hi, I was thinking about rooting my Galaxy S7 and I know that KNOX will be tripped and I will not be able to use Samsung Pay, S Health or get OTA updates ever again but I was wondering was that it and what are your thoughts on rooting the galaxy s7 and if you think it's worth it? I want to dual boot King rom and RR Remix but I'm not sure if it's worth it?
I think that's a very subjective question for which the answer should come from you. But IMHO, since you are seeking opinions, I haven't felt the need to root mine [yet]. So far this is the only Android I've had that I haven't rooted - and I've had Androids since the original Motorola Droid. I haven't used Samsung Pay yet but I think that once I do I will become accustomed to it. For now I am holding off on rooting. I find that my S7 gives me most of what I want and I'm not missing root at all.

So why did you root before the s7? I ask because I plan on buying the s7 to BL unlock and run custom rom..
No, i dont think its worth it! Stock rom does a great job and even the backups work perfectly with the samsung cloud and also you can use Package Disabler Pro without root so thats all you need.

Thanks, I think unless they release a fully stable, feature packed AOSP rom I'm gonna stick with stock. I do like Android N for the Galaxy S7 and it's definitely a step in the right direction from Samsung :good:

Thanks for your opinion. I think your right, other than custom roms I don't really see a reason to root. I think unless they release a fully stable rom (like AOSP) that I really want I'm gonna stick to stock for now. I wish there was a way to get the dual speaker mod without root though, that would be good.

In a nutshell, I wanted to try other ROMs and debloat.

Gotcha
I honestly haven't rooted since my OnePlus days, and even then once I started using Google Wallet/Android Pay I reverted to stock. On my S4 I had to root to gain some of the functionality/customizations I wanted. With the OnePlus and my S7 Edge, the need just isn't there. Sure, I'd like to remove some of the AT&T bloat, but at least I can disable those apps which is good enough for me.
Has anyone been able to get a working root / ROM for the J3 Eclipse on Verizon yet? It would be so nice to be able to remove all this bloatware Samsung UI and apps since the phone isn't all that fast in the first place. It has been years since I rooted any phone so maybe I am just overlooking something, been searching but no luck so far.
From what I can tell,your J3 is identical to ours on Sprint, Boost and Virgin Mobile. Our TWRP may be compatible with your device. @ashyx would know better than I. Hardware wise they appear to be the same. Now software is another matter. Your partitions may be different than ours so I do not advise a flash of our recovery. But it is worth asking those that know more about it. Will depend on whether your bootloader is locked also.

Hello,
I have been using my rooted N915 Verizon again now for a while. However it is rooted and almost all financial and banking apps dont work now on rooted mobiles.
I am looking for two solutions
1. If there is a Wanam Xposed module for this specific model . To install it with the RootCloak add on and hide root status from certain apps.
2. Get the unrooted stock ROM to bring it back to stock status. I dont mainly need root now.
Appreciate if you can you please inform and post links to the above two options.
Any guidance and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
Oh well, so many views however no reply.
Looks like I must have asked for something really rare and difficult
