Samsung Galaxy J7 Refine - Root with Magisk - J737p - J737PVPS2ASA1 - Android 8.0 - Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Credit goes to:
 @☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆ providing some of the device files + the original guide for another j737p variant this was modified from + testing/porting aforementioned root method
 @topjohnwu for Magisk as always !!!
The link below is to the thread for the guide to root the j737p J737PVPU1ARG3 variant in which I modified this guide from.

Download all files needed as well as this guide saved to a .txt document here:

------------------------------------------
Read all before just winging it and follow directions with precision !!!
( Run all progams by right click - Run as administrator )
Step 1
Unzip - Odin3_v3.13.1 ( non-patched ).zip + Install the samsung USB drivers via SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING
- In the Step_1.zip you extracted, load up Odin_v13.1 (non-patched)
- Load only the BL/AP/CP files from your stock firmware into Odin
- As soon as the flashing process ends, you must reboot quickly back into Download Mode. You have to be quick. If you allow the device to begin booting up, it makes the rooting process more difficult.
Step 2
Assuming you followed directions...
- Close Odin_v13.1 & unplug your device while still remaining in Download Mode
- Launch Odin_v13.1 [Patched] & load up the patched_boot.tar in the AP slot
- Reconnect device & proceed to flash
- Device will reboot with "Verification Failure" so you must reset (this is part of root) (it does not activate FRP lock)
( It may get stuck at a soft bootloop on the samsung logo, if it does just hold the power button and volume down until it reboots again then let go. ) ( should not have to repeat this more than once or twice )
- When device reboots to Setup Wizard, skip through it. Do not add any accounts (Google or Samsung). Do not consent to giving any device data for whatever purposes (they will ask twice; look carefully)
- On the home screen, Go to settings - unlock Dev Options & allow USB Debugging. OEM should already have been unlocked.
Step 3
- Connect device to your pc & in the platform-tools+Magisk folder you, run CMD.exe
- Input adb devices to ensure proper connection
- Input adb install -r MagiskManager-v7.0.0.apk to install MM to your device
- Open MagiskManager & make sure everything is good to go (see attached screenshot)
- If everything is done properly then you will see a superuser tab in the left side-bar, indicating root access
ĐØΠΞ
Again many thanks to:
@☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆ - for the Original tutorial and testing via another j737p variant.
@topjohnwu - for Magisk
and credit to Vyp3r ( Myself ) @fsceo - for the files pertaining to this variant and modification of the original tutorial.

Would this work to root my SM-J737P with firmware J737PVPS9BUD2 on Android 9.0? What other files do I need to accomplish this? Thanks!

How to root, step-by-step.

ok guys, so first, i want to apologize for my bad english. im not very good when it comes to writing and talking.
let's go; what we are going to do is flash the ROM with aan included ROOT, with the posibility of wiping our device.
I remind you that: **I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR YOUR COMPUTER.**
**I RECOMMEND CHARGING YOUR BATTERY TO 100%**
**I ALSO RECOMMEND YOU TO MAKE A COPY OF ALL YOUR DATA**
YOU WILL MISS YOUR GARANTY IF YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE**
​
First step: DOWNLOAD THE ROM Through this link and place it in your desktop.
2. you will also have to download ODIN 3​
3.in Developer options, activate the USB Debugging option (Settings --> Developer options --> USB Debugging
Ok, you have to start ODIN and you have to get your device in Downloading Mode. (you will do this by shuting it off. and then pressing *VOLUME DOWN KEY*+*HOME KEY*+*POWER KEY*. when you do that you should press the volume up key) When you are in Downloading mode you should connect your device to your PC.
4. Once synchronized, with Odin, you have to select "OPEN" where it says PDA. select the archive you downloaded before. (the one with the name *I8190XXALK6_I8190XEFALK1_HOME_ROOTED.tar.md5*) (you have to uncompress that item before using it)
5. then you press start in Odin, and wait 'til the instalation finishes. the your device should reboot and odin should show a message saying PASS!
6. then you should be able to boot your device like you do normally.
EXTRA STEPS JUST IF YOU HAVE ANY ERROR​
1. if you cant boot, you will need to WIPE your device instaling this archive and use it like in step 4 through the PDA button.
2. if you still have any problem, you should install this following step 4.
how your device should look like

This will install an older December rom! I'm afraid it's a step back, and bad advice.
Most countries have moved on from the LL2 rom in that file.
The instructions also mention the LK6 rom, which is even older, and not attached above.
this is avicoh first rooted rom and it was posted here on the forum long ago. I dont know why u reposted, to be honest i wayted for u to post but thought u come up with another solution that doesnt include Odin.
Best regards,
Yeah this isn't anything new, I and everyone here thought there was some kind of new ROOTING method. The Rom is already Rooted.

This has been covered before in the correct forum. Read before posting.

What is TWRP?​
The TWRP team is a community that works on open source, to open the doors in modification, system recovery and more.​
Remember! As TWRP mends with the android system, for those who are unaware it can damage the device, so TEAM Team Win and M-DROID are not responsible for any data that may be caused by improper installation or use of TWRP!
Plus, TEAM M-DROD can help you find a solution!
We recommend that you download the latest version of TWRP for your device!
Sometimes firmware updates for a device break compatibility.
If you have not updated the firmware on your device, it may be that the latest version of TWRP is not working for you.
I recommend trying to use an older version.
Downloading a TWRP from another device, no matter how similar, can lead to malfunction.​

So that's it folks, I hope I have helped, and please be careful when it's time to use!​

​
EDIT: Glad you got it straightened out.
He explained this isn't to compete with @bhb27 efforts, but to be able to flash TWRP without typing in fastboot commands. It's to make it easier to use TWRP. It's not a redundant thread, like it looked at first glance.
Dup thread closed, see link to original thread above
UPDATE: thread open Feb 6th
After communicating with the OP, he has explained this is more of a tool to be used while installing recovery. This explanation will be added to the OP for clarity.
Hello everyone, Explaining what I want to pass on to you.
The TWRP file developed by the site:

So to make it easier I created a script that does this for you, every new version they launch I'll be creating the installation script

[SLOT A/B devices] Universal A/B-cloner

I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE BREAKING
THIS /WILL/ COPY YOUR BOOTLOADER FROM ONE SLOT TO ANOTHER
IF YOU DO THAT WITH A BOOTLOADER THAT IS OLDER THAN THE SLOT YOURE OVERWRITING YOUR DEVICE MIGHT BRICK
Ok, thats over with
INFO:
This is just a simple script, in a simple ZIP, designed to clone all the devices ACTIVE slots in /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name to the INACTIVE ones
it does nothing more, nothing less.
For me, this solved some issues with lineage and custom roms on my device and keeps my mild ocd... well.. mild.
This will not touch any partition with the word logo in it (lowercase only for now, oops)
BASIC HOW-TO:
0) have basic knowledge of how android works, dont be stupid
1) flash rom
2) run AB-Cloner-test
3) If the test runs normal rename it to AB-Cloner.zip ( remove the word "test" from the zip name)
4) run AB-Cloner
5) ???
6) profit!
Tested devices:
Successful tests:
Motorola Z² Force
(report your success below)
Unsuccessful tests:
PLEASE report below, so no one else endangers their phones
Known Bugs/Issues:
currently the word test must be lowercase in the filename, if any letter is not lowercase in the word test IT WILL RUN THE ACTUAL COMMANDS. this will be fixed in RC2/Normal releases
You tell me ?
TODO:
add VOL key detection to cancel zip/ make choices
update detection: figure out which slot is newer, flash that one to older
aroma? probably not tho
You tell me?
C+ slots? if theres a device that needs it

thank you!
FYI I just ran this on my G7 Power (Ocean) and it seemed to work just fine. I had a good Resurrection Remix install on Slot A (active) and some weird borked stuff on Slot B.
I loaded and ran the .zip via adb sideload, it copied everything over, and it all seems to work just fine now, and identical on both slots.
FYI when running it this way (adb sideload) the name included "-test" but there was no test. It just ran--luckily it seemed to work OK.
Oneplus 8 5G UW (IN2019) did not work
