I tryed rooting this Verizon J7V. Apernetey they hate unlocked boot loaders sadly well I used obm whatever that PC flashing app is called. I flashed my rom it seemed like it rooted! Nope failed no brick though. Ah brings me back to my Wii and WiiU and 3DS and XBOX 360 modding days... and Vita too. Well rooting is hard so after doing that on the PC I booted up. I factory rested to fix Google play store error 491, but now I have this as a notification "Unothorized actions have been detected" from "securetyLogAgent" and it says "Secerity notice". It was still there after i tried factory reset. Tryed doing what it said before and after reset. No fix whatsoever, I just want to root and unlock bootloader, kingroot and most 1 click root no PC are no nos I want better battery life, no ads in games, and no bloatware. I don't like ya Verizon, you are as bad as Nintendo nowadays. That app said success but I tryed a bloatware removal app and it said "Root access not granted" something like that, my phones warntey is already up. If there's a way to to root I can try. All I need is a nand backup right to fix? I just wanna be smarter.
The phone is powered by an Exynos 7 SoC, running Android 8.
In phone's Android -> Settings -> Developer options check for OEM Unlock option is present. If not then phone's bootloader can't get unlocked, will say you can't install a Custom Recovery nor a Custom ROM.
BTW: To root a phone's Android phone's bootloader must NOT be unlocked.
Hint:
Add Samsung Galaxy J7 ( Verizon ) to this thread's title so mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.

Hello Guys, I'm new here in rooting and all, I just received my Galaxy Tab yesterday so I'm still exploring, so let see you may not know at&t remove many things in there phones like installing unknown sources, that's technically my problem
I rooted my tab with SuperOneClick v1.6.5 and I root it, plus I also enable non-market apps but it doesnt work, I dont know if i root it wrong or it just didnt work. I click test and the software install SuperUser (This is the only thing I know that says my device is rooted)... I tried doing it twice but no avail.
FYI: I downloaded an .apk file and put it in my download folder, the tab recognize it but it doesnt want to install saying for some security reasons...
Yeah last one thing, does the Unlock Code, will unlock your phone? like unlocking my phone so that not only at&t sim card I can use??
Download "Root Checker" from market to see if you are rooted or not. And remember that you have to reboot after doing SuperOneClick to get root if you haven't done that already (at least I had to do that rooting a friends N1 a few days back).
Ok it says the root is good, and what do you mean reboot? My tab or laptop?
still my problem persist in the non-market apps, and the question what will happen if I "unlock" it?
NVM
I know now whats the problem, yeah i must reboot the tab to work, and it must be open and u also must open super user
EDIT: I forgot this but Why I cant unlock it, it says it failed...
[edit]Solved[edit]Hello i seem to have a more or less unique problem, or possibly one that has allready been answered so many times i can not seem to find it on google?
so the problem.
I have a optimus f6 (the d505 version) wich i have sort of succesfully rooted about 3 years ago, problem is i seem to remember soft bricking it and then reflashing it with something called lg flash tool? and needing to unlock the bootloader in order to un-brick it. After wich i used Kingo for rooting and everything worked like a charm ever since.
here is where the problem starts, right now i want to sell it, and i have a client to sell it to, problem is the guy needs his banking app to work. And after un-rooting it with the same app, and then doing a factory reset, the banking app still recognises the phone as rooted, and to make matters worse even the OTA update fails because of the same reason. Now i think the problem is with the bootloader being unlocked, i can think of no other reason why the apps think it is still rooted, i can re-root and re-unroot with kingo at any time and every function of the phone and the root acces seems to work. When un-rooted every root detection app i have tried from google play tells me the phone is not rooted, exept the fore-mentioned OTA and banking app.
My plan is to re-flash the allready updated basic rom, wich i got as a kdz file from a site called lg-roms.com( it does appear to have the correct phone version and carrier, i did a imei verification) and then use fastboot to re-lock the bootloader.
My question is since I am sort of a noob with theese sorts of things, will this solve my problem, aka will it remove all traces of root, i would like to know since i risk bricking it anyway i want to know if i can get any sort of results
[edit] So ya i really doubt anyone will have this specific problem, however if you do, i managed to solve it by flashing stock and locking the bootloader with fastboot, problem seems to have been originating from there
Well, this is my story. I tried to revive my old Verizon SIII because I really like that model. The problem is I never noticed the 4.4 bootloader lock. I rooted my device after a factory reset, I tried to install the cyanogenmod but at the start the custon recovery wont trigger despite installing the adequate app, first I believed KNOX was the issue so I proceeded to unistall it with TitanimBackup, that made the "custom" Samsung boot screen appear but then a "Unauthorized sofware blah blah blah" message from Verizon appeared so I used download mode to reboot sucessfully, then I remembered that the bootloader wasnt unlocked so I proceeded to unlocked with EZunlocker and the unlock was successful, when the TWRP manager app asked me to reboot to install the custom recovery it never did, just bricked. My questions are, my phone was already running a form of custom rom for region-free SIM card operation, as far I know the device was NOT on 4.4 since it wasn't even on the US anymore and Verizon update services don't operate here, as I remember my sytem version was 4.0.4 why did it bricked? if I buy another device what I must check to avoid another bricking? Is there any way to recover my device? it is a hard brick, noob here.
Greetings My Brothers. I have a huge Problem. Sometimes ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon Model, thought it will be cool to have such a model, just come to think of it; Snapdragon 820 what else did I wanted again. And the phone started running Berserk. apps downloaded and installed from PlayStore don't work at all even WhatsApp does work properly. The phones freezes all the Time, it overheats all the time. So I made a decision. root, install custom recovery and install Custom Rom like lineage OS. I'm accustom to those stuffs like Odin, download mode, etc. I don't have any problem with a phone stock on boot loop, it's something I have been fixing, so I'm Used to It. My SM-G930V security level is High with its latest android version Oreo, the bootloader is locked. tried to unlock it with ADB and Command Prompt. It was a failure. tried to get some help On YouTube. Failed, all the videos I watched was about SM-G930F none of them talked about SM-G930V, I came across SM-G930V bootloader Unlocking, rooting and custom Rom but, it wasn't compatible with my SM-G930V. So let Me ask You Guys this question. Can I really unlock the bootloader, root the phone and Install a custom recovery, and A custom Rom??? If there is a slight chance or possibility of doing so, please Brothers help me out, because I am unable to use the phone to its full potential. Thanks. Michael.
I recently got a new phone from the Troomi carrier. They sell a Samsung A32 5G phone and it is very locked down. I have done some digging and managed to enable USB debugging, but I can't manage to root it. I can install apps, but the Knox app control quickly disables it. The app is still installed, but can't be seen without adb. I have managed to rename the package name for an app to that of an app that is allowed. That worked until my mom discovered this and deleted the app from my phone and I haven't been able to recreate it. I also can't enter download mode or install a custom bootloader. Factory resetting is also blocked.
Any help is apprechiated.
