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?

Question Is the SM-A125U different?

Is my A12 (a125u) different and unable to be bl unlocked/rooted, etc? It has OEM unlock in dev options....?

Did you figure this out? Looking to do the same... Also can't find a firmware for it, please share what you did if you had success. Thanks!

Yes, the A125U has OEM UNLOCK in the developer options......you can turn that ON by going into : settings > about phone > software information ...and then tap BUILD NUMBER several times until you see that you have enabled "developer options". Then you go into developer options and turn on OEM UNLOCKING.
Before updating firmware recently OEM UNLOCKING was greyed out. But now I can switch it on. Now the question is, can this variant be properly bootloader unlocked and rooted. The known repository for downloadable firmwares for Samsung phones DOES NOT seem to have this variant firmware for download. And I wonder if that is required for this to be properly rooted.

Galaxy firmware has the firmware for this variant. I have the att version and I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. Holding volume up in the download screen does nothing. Any luck?

Bump, I have all same questions.... Anyone figure anything out?

Before I had tmo Sim unlock my phone the I set the oen unlock to unlock now its not there at all

Anybody rooted this yet ?

anyone know the interchangeability of the firmware between the a125u and other versions

I wish to know as well

What if the OEM unlock not showing how do you get it to show

I'd like to know this too. I believe the internal are all the same for the MediaTek devices. I got a SM-A125F for free and want to use it in the US. It looks like I could if I can convert it to SM-A125U or MS-A125M. I already bricked it once trying to flash U firmware and has to flash back to F

i was able to root this sm-a125u very easily... downloaded A125WVLS3AUL1 firmware (canadian unlocked) flash the full stock rom and was able to unlock bootloader as simple as holding down all buttons when going into download mode, it unlocked it that way and was able to flash twrp, magisk and its all good

I have a similar issue but vice versa. I bought a US version (SM-A125U1) only to find out months after that the dual sim option is locked and i think the only way to unlock it is changing the firmware. Now I need help to know what I can do to, please.

-Was there an "OEM UNLOCK" option in the Developer's Options?
-What did you do in DOWNLOAD mode to unlock?

Thank you for sharing, I’ll give it a try

To root a phone's Android unlocking its bootloader is NOT required.
You simply have to add SU binary to Android's filesystem and make this binary executable.

I want to oem unlock bootloader for trwp and roms but I can't find oem unlock in dev settings and tried the video above and a couple of other things I found

You need the Samsung flash tool and the version of android for the phone and su +twep+magisk is optional good luck
Ps. Allways back up everything!

And I'm fixing the Samsung flash tool is PC only correct? My **** got stolen like a few weeks ago so I'm trying to figure out how to do this **** without a computer and it's a pain in the ass pretty much impossible.

I am having this issue and can't find a resolution for it anywhere.
Boost Galaxy a13 5g android 12:
No OEM unlock switch available...
The trick changing the date doesn't work at all...
I am not trying to flash custom ROM, just to tweak the system kernal settings.
I seen someone mentioned to root w/o the OEM unlocking switch available, all that is needed is to flash the SU binary with Odin.. I haven't tried this yet but I am almost positive Odin for windows doesn't even read the Samsung devices without the bootloader being unlocked.
Anyone care to chime in here? i'd be very appreciative!
Mainly WTF is the OEM unlock switch not available on my device. I actually have 2 of the same devices and both are without the switch.
Also would flashing SU work and do the trick?
Any other useful information you could send my way would be really helpful too.

Maybe who's find how to unlock bootloader on this device after July update?

How to get missing developer option for OEM Unlock (unlock bootloader)?

I have an old Samsung J3 Eclipse (SM-J327V) that has no OEM Unlock in Developer Options. The phone is approximately 5 years old. I would like to unlock the bootloader on it. I'v tried the suggestions listed on the forum, but they are for new phones to bypass the 7 day waiting period and enable the OEM unlock. I tried them anyway, and they don't work on my J3.
Seems to me that I read that Samsung started hiding the OEM Unlock with Android version 8.0
I was thinking of loading some old version of the official firmware that was Android 7.0 or earlier (if I can find it). Then, hopefully there would be an OEM Unlock that would enable me to unlock the boot loader. Once unlocked, I could flash back to Android 8.1 (newest version for this old device). Would that work? Can you use Odin to downgrade the version of Android?
Comments welcome from all. Thanks!

I've tried following every youtube video and posting on the internet for how to get the hidden OEM unlock back into developer options. None of them work. I swear I have done the process of date resetting dozens of times and it still doesn't work.
Can anybody help? Please! I'd really like to unlock the bootloader. Is there any other way to do this?
