Root Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J727V

Hey XDA. I need a little help. I tried CF Auto Root for this device, and it didn't work. It just fails. I have run as Odin as administrator, and tried different USB ports and tried different cords, NOTHING WORKS. Please help. This is the Verizon variant of the J7. It runs Android Nougat 7.0 and has the July 1, 2017 security patch. Knox version is in the screenshots.

Bro you have to unlock the oem unlock toggle on the developer settings on your phone in order to use c.f. auto root but I notice that the verizon wireless don't have that option to unlock the bootloader

So, I really don't have any options?

I'm in the same spot with this phone. I found instructions online to root it but all mention the enabling OEM unlock, which the phone doesn't have. I guess either these online instructions are clickbait or the Verizon version is different. Does anyone have any ideas how to root this?

I too have a similar issue only i cant get to developer mode to change oem lock or bypass the frp lock... j727p boost phone All Frp methods involve setting debugging and real term doesn't work either because when i can get it to dial out there is no option for adding new contact or even sending a message.. Seems its all been updated out of existence?

Go into about phone keeps pressing build number you should have it after that on boost !! Verizon bootloader is locked !!

ohk
so conclusion there is no way to root the sm727v?. hm. that's a waste.

You can do bootloader
To do bootloader, you need to turn off the phone, then hold power, volume up and home, and release power when you see the version info thta normally appears. The system will say that it is updating, but just wait.

Actually if you get into the phone settings and look for Carrier unlock you can call Verizon and get number I believe that's how you unlock the bootloader if I'm wrong please correct me I'm still kinda new at this so let me know

What do you mean by "carrier unlock"?
Edit: Thats to unlock the carrier lock, as in, the lock preventing sims from other carriers from working.

Have you figured this out yet?

SM-S205DL (Straight Talk Model)

Hi all,
I have a Straight Talk Galaxy A20, model SM-S205DL. Will root instructions work for this model? I don't notice an OEM unlock option in the Developer Mode menu, but I can boot in download mode. Thoughts? It's been a while since I tried to install custom firmware.

You need to unlock OEM for it to work

Okay. Is there a way to do that other than the developer options menu? If the OEM unlock option isn't there, is there some other method?

There is a trick where you change the date to some weeks in the future.

im having the same issue

yea the dev options to show OEM Unlock seems to be gone from Straighttalk/tracfone versions, its even Gone from Download Mode (you dont even SEE the option for long-press vol+ to unlock bootloader)

is there a way to root

Some places claim to be able to change the CID of the phone. Would that help? I imagine once able to load different non-TFN BS firmware on the phone that magic developer option may appear. Or is it a hardware thing and the exynos chip has something to do with it? Not sure how it all works yet. Anyone know what the unlocked us retail model contains?
I'm not smart enough to find out so hopefully someone is and reads this and can chime in regarding all the points...

Bootloader unlocked - then what?

Hi, so I have the Chinese PDEM30 version of the Oppo X2 Pro and I've applied for the bootloader unlock using the in depth testing APK from Oppo. As I believe it was made available in July, wondering if anyone else has done this yet and had approval already?
Once (if) I get approval, I gather the unlock is pretty simple:
1) App says approved
2) restart into recovery mode by holding power + volume down (after backing up data of course).
3) plug into PC and use ADB to unlock using the simple generic fasboot command (after enabling USB debugging in developer options of course).
PHONE UNLOCKED!
So here comes the silly question - does this mean I can load ANY ROM I want or does it have to be a custom ROM via TWRP or some other tool.
I simply want to load the global ROM, so assuming I can just do this from the recovery mode. Obviously right now it doesn't work as we get the "this is an older version" error. Will an unlocked bootloader solve this or is there more to it?
Appreciate any help from someone a bit more familiar with the process.
Thanks
Ben

and FYI, here's the current status in the testing app, I have to wait until the 10th September for the result. Fingers crossed!

can you share the apk ?

It's over in this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-x2-pro/how-to/roor-guide-t4111563/page4
Doesn't seem to work on a non-Chinese model though.

No, you have to register anyway as it's part of the criteria. Just register on Oppos UK site with your number, then login to the Chinese site using that login.

Thanks, didn't see that thread - very informative but still doesn't tell me if I'm able to load the standard global firmware once it's unlocked. Guess I'll find out in s few weeks

Question How to unlock bootloader?

I just received my Flip3 (SM-F711U1) and would like to unlock my bootloader. However developer options is missing the OEM Unlock option. It's completely missing not just grayed out. I read a few articles about needed to change the system date but none of those guides changed anything. Can someone help?
Also, I attempted to call *#*#7378423*#*# to double checked that it wasn't already unlocked and I got a popup saying "Unabled to process the request."
Thank you.

- about phone
- software information
- build number 5 times
- profit

I have no issue unlocking developer options. As my first post said the OEM Unlock option is missing from dev options.

Have you tried through fastboot? (fastboot oem unlock)

Oh, got you. Sorry!

As far as I'm aware samsung devices don't support fastboot. I did attempt to connect it in case I was wrong but was not able to get fastboot to recognize the device.

You can try directly unlock without ticking the oem unlock. By boot into download mode. The other thing is your device or carrier or country wont allow your flip 3 to be unlock. There last step you can try is clean flash via odin with your latest firmware.

I can get into download mode fine but don't know how to use that to unlock directly. Can you give more details?
I tried a clean flach with my latest firmware but it didn't change anything.
It's a US carrier unlocked version I bought directly from Samsung. CSC of XAA. Currently using a T-Mobile SIM.

If you had them enabled on your last phone and you restored from your Google backup, developer options will be enabled. Has happened on all of my phones since Android 9

If you can boot into download mode there is an instruction just press vol up button and it will prompt do you want to unlock bootloader mine is like that. Im not sure yours since mine is korea version.

They support bootloader unlock. samsung dont support using fastboot unlock or command at all

if you're in North America, Canada etc Qualcomm chips there do not support bootloader unlocking, at least the Samsung one's don't, not sure about other OEMs.

They used to, so there was always a possibility it returned.

I recently read this article on XDA about unlocking the boot loader on the Fold 3 which results in Samsung disabling the camera (WTH?), Is this a thing on the Flip3 too?

My device is rooted. I have always been able to find the OEM unlock option under developer options without any constraints.
My camera is NOT affected. I can still use it without any issues.
I have an European device (SM-F711B).
Hope this helps some of you to track down whether this is a location or carrier based problem.

Hey Redhatter,
Out of topic question, but are you getting Tmobile 5G just fine?

As for getting access to pdc without root ... You need to have access to engineering mode which unfortunately at this time there is not a free option to get access to unlock engineering mode so to use PDC on pc to change/load MBN
You need a token to unlock a engineering mode ... Read througjt this thread whcih i quoted and to find out how you could get a token

Yeah i know how to get the token, but i dont know what to do after, can't find any thread to access pdc/mbn in oos12 without root, even after i got the token to access to engineering mode.

Well then dial *#649010#
Then toggle the diag switch
Open the pdc on PC
And then load the profiles

Sorry, I'm kinda newbie in this thing, so i will ask a bit detail for that.
1. When i dial *#649010* nothing happen. (Should i install something first? Like engineering mode apk, qpst pdc ? (If yes, what version?)
2. The only one i know is, dial *#9434# , and input the token, then i dont know what to do. (Or kindly share the thread that suitable for not rooted oos12)
Thanks.
