Galaxy NX (EK-GN120) Root

I am not the creator of this file!
I am creating this thread since root for this device is amazingly hard to find!
Instructions:
1. Download the Samsung drivers from below.
2. Enable USB Debugging.
3. Enter download mode on your NX by holding down both the power button and shutter button at the same time.
4. Make sure you have Odin Samsung edition 3.07 or higher.
5. Download the Samsung Galaxy Camera (NX Version) EK-GN120 version 4.2.2) from below.
6. Plug-in your camera to your computer and load the .tar file you just downloaded with Odin under the PDA section.
7. Hit start, it should finish in under 5 seconds.
Congratulations your Galaxy NX is now rooted!
Extras:
1. Download the SuperSU update from below and flash it using the default android recovery menu!

Is there now a Custom Rom for the NX?!

What is the point of rooting this cam?

Endless possibilitys 4K Video or record uncompressed or Raw Video mount Harddisks or XLR Audio Interfaces via USB or Whatever when you search for a Indie Filmcamera with Endless Possibilitys thats the best Device....

How can we flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?
The Bootloader only accepts signed updates. Is there a possibility to unlock the bootloader on this device or can we flash it otherwise?

Great stuff! Any news about?
EDIT:
Worked like a charm!
Installed SuperSU from the play store, no issues!

Hi Guys,
I just come across this thread so i thought i make an account on XDA to post.
My Nx camera in my cupboard collecting dust i probably only used it once. I hope with this root i can do more with it.
Is there anyway someone could upload avideo on how to root this device? Is it at all possible once rooted, that it can record in 4k?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

How can we flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Any news about custom recovery? On this video http://www.xda-developers.com/unbox...ng-the-ultimate-android-powered-camera-setup/ the reviewer installs TWRP, but I can't find the Galaxy NX on their website anymore..

Just reviving this thread, I see people have stated they have the ability to boot into recovery mode on the EK-GN120 Galaxy Camera NX but I haven't found an option to do such.. The only mode I can get into is the one where I do the custom reflash of the firmware.. "Download mode on the NX by holding down both the power button and shutter" How do I enter the recovery mode by chance? Greatly appreciate.d Thanks, Justin

How were you able to get into Recovery Mode on your EK-GN120 Galaxy NX Camera? I can't seem to find the procedure.. Only know the one to get into Download Mode which is power + Shutter.. I have a camera that I need to reset. Thanks, Justin

Updating Samsung Galaxy NX to the Modern Firmware
Hey I found someone from Lineage confirming that they support the LOS on this device, I just need help trying to update the camera to Android pie or at least Android 5. Lineage OS would also be great to have if I can. Because the camera only runs Android 4.2.2 and a lot of apps cannot be ran unless Android 5.0 in order to make this deal to make camera experience.
I need help trying to either A. Updated to at least Android 5.0 or B. Make it Lineage OS supported.
If we can do this the possibilities would be endless

If anyone wonders what the actual twrp device name was u0lte. I still cannot find the image file.

So there is someone making Lineage OS or you are confused as to Lineage OS being an app? cant upgrade this device unless someone builds a rom for it or a Lineage OS rom that would probably wont support the camera fully.

King root not supporting

How to root le 1s with out king root

There is a YouTube detailed guide..is yours eui5.8??
Eui 5.5 and lollipop can be rooted through king root..try 5-6 times because it is the easiest way..
However if you updated to marshmallow try searching YouTube for le1s eui 5.8 root..
You should unlock bootloader and flash twrp and then root your phone.. Very complicated process.
Hope this helps

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------
Dont use this app it wont unlock boot

Yeah i tried that YouTube method....
Its working but it says selinux is not set permissive..
I tried many ways but i can't use advanced root apps like icon themers etc..

Yajs

To root le1s (on Android 6, eui 5.8 ) you need a PC to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery(TWRP) then you can root your phone by flashing magisk or SuperSU.....?

Eui 5.9.26s Rom For Le 1S

Hello Guys
Here Is 5.9.26s Rom
Battery Improved
Camera Improved!
Link = http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-929551-1-1.html

How to install, any known bugs?
Thank you.
1. How do I go to the link and change the language to English?
2. When I click on the orange button next to 5.9.26s assuming it to be the download button, I can make out that It is asking for a user name and password but since everything is in Mandarin/Chinese language, I am not able to understand how to register and download.
3. Are there any known bugs in this release? Will it work fine with Le X507? Can I upgrade straight from 5.8.019s to 5.9.26s?
4. How to download and install this update? The automatic update does not show any further releases..

Wanting to install another Rom

Please excuse this very long post.
On my Pro 5 I am stuck on Flyme 6.3.0.0G and I am having an issue with a streaming app supplied by Dazn. No video appears; Dazn say this is because it needs a more up-to-date Android, but there is no official room available. I have been looking at the Resurrection Remix option but I am worried about bricking the device.
My principal worry is about (1) root and (2) the bootloader.
I obtained root long ago using the standard Meizu supplied system, but since then the option to unroot has disappeared. The phone is, effectively, rooted. How should I handle the business of the bootloader to get TWRP? Also, how can I backup my entire current official Rom in case something goes wrong.
Again, please excuse such a long post.

Latest release is 7.2.0.0

But the Chinese version which has its own problems unfortunately.
I used it know for a while but overall I think the latest global is still the better bet.

Not for me, it's still Lollipop based.

Sure, would like to use the android 7 rom.
Could you share how you installed the google apps and how did you get them running properly? I still have issues with account management and in genereal many google apps (maps, chrome) do not run well.
Also I have memory issues so that when writing e.g. the keyboard crashes and even chrome itself crashes regularly. My guess was some memory issue that leads to ending apps.
---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------
When I want to sign in with chrome e.g. I always get the message "this account already exists on your device".
Did anyone else had this problem and knew how to fix it?

Very simple man. I've got NO ISSUES AT ALL, simply:
* full wipe ( Dalvik / Cache / Data / System ) with TWRP
* flashing with TWRP the Flyme 7 rom
* flashing with TWRP the Open Gapps, Pico Version, 64 Bit

I am on Flyme 6.3.0.0G. I can install the 7.2.0.0 ? Where can I find him ? Thank you

If your french, don't change ROOM.
7.2.0.0 is fully bugged and not for french. => http://forum.flymeos.com/forum-28-1.html

Flyme 7.2.0.0 goes very badly.Back to 6.3.0.0G. What custom rom for Pro 5 do you use ?

I've rarely used my Meizu Pro 5 in these last months but I'm using 7.2.0.0 since January without problems.
In Italian, forced language of course :good: Only Settings remain in English.

Best root process?

I’m going to wait a little bit before doing my root. I had a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 recently die on me. I tried replacing the charging port and the battery but the thing was still dead. So I ordered an S5e. It should be arriving tomorrow. I’m just curious what everyone is doing with it now. I did a quick search and it looks like root is available now. But the instructions I found are outdated saying a recovery method (TWRP) wasn’t available but there was a news announcement saying it now was. So I’m kind of lost.
Like I said, I want to play around with it unmodded for a while before I root it. Just looking for a clear cut “best” way to go about doing it and seeing what the most recommended options are.
On my s10 I remember having TWRP as the recovery and Cyanogen was the OS.
Thanks!

I spent the whole weekend in my new s5e wifi edition, the truth as follows:
There are 4 ROMs for this tablet:
Original (shipped with Samsung ROM, Android 9) - Everything works fine, antutu v8 183k, but full of crapware from Samsung, suspicious apps and services, don't waste your time doing root on this ROM
LineageOS 16 (Android 9) - So far the best ROM at this moment, antutu v8 183k too, stable and HDMI issues too, but there is a workaround, (look my other HDMI problem thread)
LineageOS 17 (Android 10) - Trebuchet launcher crashing constantly, HDMI issues so I didn't test antutu because felt too unstable, so I gave up too
LuisROM - antutu v8 170k and HDMI issues too, so I gave up
I installed all the ROMs using TWRP, the root just works with magisk, the official LOS16 root su zip doesn't work. Once you have the TWRP installed you can just install the magisk .zip the same way you do with the ROMs, then the magisk manager will appear installed automatically where you can check the root status. Good luck!

Why not root the original rom and delete as much crapware as possible after root? That was my plan when my tab S5e will arrive.
You speak about TWRP but in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s5e/how-to/galaxy-tab-s5e-sm-t720-root-t3947806 and that is the only decent one I could find, they explain that TWRP does not work on the Tab S5e because of changes Samsung made. Are yu saying that TWRP works?

Those posts are a reference, dont follow their procedures hoping that will work as they described... yes I AM using TWRP it works, get from their website "twrp-3.3.1-4-gts4lvwifi.img.tar" and "vbmeta.tar" then via ODIN, flash them, one each time, rebooting after the process. Once you have the TWRP installed, you can play around with any ROM and do the root as I explained before. I don't trust in a ROM full of crapware, its my point of view, cleaning based on tests you can never be sure if there is nothing left stealing your data or forcing updates or whatever samsung decides... so LOS is the way, clean, open-source, nothing to hide.

that is amazing news....I would love to try this out with my device and downloaded the files you suggested. I also found "PGP Signature vbmeta.tar.asc", do I need that too?
I have to admit that I have not much experiencing rooting...I only installed TWRP on my Samsung J5 phone years ago and after that I loaded another rom (I think lineage) on it. a stripped down version that offered more intern memory and that is still running smooth on my phone today.
So would it be possible to give me some more advice? Is it correct that I have to connect the S5e with Odin by booting it in download mode? And can you tell me where I have to load the files in Odin? Is it in the AP section?
And are there options I have to enable in Odin? (I heard something about a reboot option you have to enable or disable).
I hope you can help me with those questions. What model of tab are you using btw? Is it a 720 ?
Thanx in advance,
Jan

no!

exactly, you got it!
And are there options I have to enable in Odin? (I heard something about a reboot option you have to enable or disable).
This part is up to you, In later tries I did all at once, but be careful and flash one image per time until you feel confident
I hope you can help me with those questions. What model of tab are you using btw? Is it a 720 ?
SM-T720 the wifi only version
Thanx in advance,
you are welcome!
