Rooting 26A

Hey guys,
First to let you know, I was a victim of the latest brick. I got a warranty replacement (don't ask). The phone came in today. The only reason why I want root is to be able to use the mobile hotspot. I'm still grandfathered into unlimited. I don't want to flash or do a custom ROM or a custom recovery. I like the stock ROM. I just only need root to do the mobile hotspot.
Anyway, so on to my situation. I downloaded ioroot, installed the latest drivers, enabled everything, allowed the RSA fingerprint. I ran the root.bat file and it didn't make it through the first step. ADB said it was rebooting phone into stock recovery...except it didn't. I've tried it now 3 times and I get the same result....green android with the red exclamation.
Am I stuck until someone figures out root on a 26A? I read that it should work but haven't read anywhere if someone has successfully rooted 26A out of the box. Is there something I can do to bypass? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Stump root is supposed to work on 26a.
Sent from my VS980 4G

Yup...no sooner then I posted this, I read a thread on stump root. Trying it now.

Just to update...I have full root by the stump root method. Was a lot easier then expected. I prefer this method way more then the ioroot method.

Were you able to get recovery installed. I ran into the same situation you did after my son took the update on his phone while it was rooted. If so what recovery method did you follow?

Was wondering this myself. Just got a refurb G2 from Verizon after my wife's first one had a screen issue. It shipped with 26a and I used stump to root it, but not quite sure the best method to follow to install twrp.

I've installed twrp on 26A twice using this. Here's the difference (though I highly, highly doubt that it'll matter), I rooted using ioroot25 on 24A (without twrp) then updated to 26A...

Fixed the problem. I was downloading stump root through es file explorer before.

Are you unable to use the mobile hotspot BECAUSE you have an unlimited plan?? Sorry if thats a dumb question, I'm coming over from Sprint and the reason I ask is that I'm on tiered data and I can use mine..

Verizon would make you pay for a separate tiered plan for Mobile Hotspot when on unlimited. I'm guessing that's still the case.

Did you use Freedom to install custom recovery? If so, which of those links from the freedom thread did you go thru? I'm on 26A and I'm not sure which version to run....

[Q] Rooting VS98027A

Hello everyone,
I have just gotten my hands on a Verizon LG G2 running the newest VS98027A update. It has never been rooted before and I'm having trouble getting it rooted based off of google and xda searches. Is it possible to root this version of the G2? Can I install a custom recovery such as TWRP after rooting? and how do I go about rooting it if possible. I've already tried stumproot three times and it fails in an "unsupported device" error so I'm beginning to lose hope.
Thanks!

I've read here that people have used stump root using the "brute force" method in stump. I personally haven't used it, just what I've read, and that it takes up to 10 minutes to work. Once rooted, Freedom Tools will install a custom recovery (from what I've read).

Same issue
I am having the same issue on an LG G2 I just bought. It just updated to VS98027A the day I bought it. I tried rooting with stump, but got the message that I need to bruteforce it. It will run for several minutes before popping up with a message "Error: Unsupported Device".
I can't seem to figure out why I can't root, while other users are posting that stump works on VS98027A using the brute force method.
Anyone have any ideas on how to root this thing?

If you're having trouble rooting, .kdz your way back to 24A, as you will likely also have issues with stump root on 26A. Once on 24A you can use iroot to root, then just do a system update in system settings to upgrade your way to 27A, while keeping root.

Yeah, I was hoping not have to re-setup everything, but it looks like my only option. Thanks, I guess I am used to this after owing a Galaxy Nexus anyway.

So this is what I did, and kept my root all the way through. So I am up and running on the latest version.
I do notice that the knock feature works way better in 24A, as well as waking the phone. If I am in a low light room, the phone frequently will shut the screen off right after waking it. if I move into a brightly lit room, it works fine. I can't seem to adjust it anywhere though.

You don't have a screen protector covering the light sensor do you? I used to have one and it was giving me issues when I went from 24A to 26A, and as soon as I removed it, the issues went away.

Before using stump root I read (and was successful using the same technique) to download 'busybox free'. Then use stump root for VS98027a.

I was able to root my G2 on 27a using stump's brute force. It only took me about a minute and a half of working. Results may vary.

I just used towelroot... took seconds and seems to be working fine. I'm New to the LG scene from Samsung's.. so I'm not sure if towelroot is ok to use with your g2 but I used it and it worked.

I agree. Towel root takes seconds. It takes longer to download the .apk. I use Autorec.apk to install recovery. After you do that: download your rom, boot into recovery backup, wipe and flash

That's if you want to change SU. I installed the ping-pong .apk, installed su like it says, download loaded data then asked for root. It reboot on it's own the first time with no root. Tried again and it worked like a charm.

That is for SuperSU. In the new beta 5.1, SuperSu is in there.

So what does everyone plan to do with root aside from nuke apps? I'm hoping someone can do some fun things for the edge: does anyone know people working on it??

This will likely never happen. You need an unlocked bootloader for a custom recovery like TWRP. As far as I know, the last VZW Samsung devices with unlocked bootloaders were the GS3 and Note 2.
With that being said, utilities like safestrap allows users to run custom roms/etc on locked bootloaders provided there's root access. I'm sure something like this is already in the works.

Why cant the same rooting technique be used for the H740 .Also what version of kingo root works to root

[ROM] [Stock] J320A/J320AZ/J320AG deodex'd

Today i bring you the very first rom for our device.
It's only stock, but the installer includes enough options to keep us happy for a while.
The core installation includes a stripped down system menu with Google play and contacts. I also added, by default, the WiFi fix and hotspot mod. The rest of what you install is your choice.
Aroma options:
Choose which J320 you own
Debloat (fully customizable)
Deknox
Install root
Install busybox
Install Init.d
Install Xposed
Bugs:
None
If you find any let me know, but if you do not wipe, please don't even report bugs.
Link:
Download
Installation:
Flashfire
Enjoy
-D

This uses the same base files for each room, AQG1. So even tho the highest firmware for J320AG is only AQB1 you still get the July security update (minus the new sboot)
All devices are interchangable for me, on Cricket. Depending on your carrier maybe they'll all work for you too.

I have AT&T Samsung Galaxy Express Prime GoPhone, J320A. Owned it for one week. It has been carrier-unlocked. I'm now using T-Mobile SIM. Seems to work OK. Only issue I can find is where the SIM status page does not show my phone number.
I would appreciate pointers or maybe a place to look for installation steps. I assume I'll to need to root via Kingroot then replace with SuperSU (if possible). Then install FlashFire.​ I have rooted and installed ROMs on other devices (Galaxy Exhibit, 2012 Nexus tablet, Moto G), but seemingly devices are more locked-down these days. I understand that TWRP is not available for this device and likely will not be.
Last year, I bought a couple of inexpensive T-Mobile phones and "rooted" them with KingRoot which is still installed on those phones. (Not really thrilled about that.) I put rooted in quotes because it doesn't quite behave like a fully-rooted phone, IMO. I'm not very expert in these things, but I know how to follow steps and have used ODIN, TWRP, et cetera.
I'm leery of working with these more locked-down phones. Am I being paranoid and/or incorrect about these matters?
BTW, thanks for the ROM! I'm surprised there aren't more replies.
Maybe this phone is not as popular as I think it should be. Maybe it's too low-spec for the tech-savvy crowd. I got mine for just $64 at Walmart online, but they've since raised the price to $79. Seems like a good deal, even at that price.
I paid $15 to carrier-unlock it. I had to flash firmware (modem file?) before unlocking, then flash another file (restored modem?) after unlocking. I was following emailed instructions after the initial unlock procedure failed.

Here's the root thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/how-to/root-samsung-sm-j320a-galaxy-express-t3573628
There's a xposed module that does just that, never tried it tho, and of course it's not permanent.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...pp-sim-changer-change-registered-sim-t2106490
I definitely like the phone and yeah, it's a good price.
Being locked does hurt it tho. No easy recovery and no roms from source. The only thing we might get will be ported. And with no kernel, porting is a pain to track down problems... but i like a challenge

My J3 was unlocked out of the box? Still don't quite get the different names for it though. Rooted with infixremix method and worked fi e until its download caused the dialer to crash whenever it was opened. Still trying to sort out the mess I made of this one.

hey do any of you guys know where I can get the original firmware to restore this device? mine is the S/W: j320aueu1ape9

How is this ROM working out?
Can anyone -- or DamienMc, the creator -- post a review of how this ROM is working out? Brief or long; any type of review would be appreciated.
I'm thinking of trying this ROM and I haven't rooted my phone yet.
Although I did unlock the carrier via a paid unlocker site. I'm using it on T-Mobile with no apparent issues. My phone is stock, of course, except for being carrier-unlocked. …Several questions, if I might:
Are those "extra" AT&T and Samsung accounts present? (ref. screenshot)
Are Samsung factory (i.e.: theme-able) dialer, messaging, and contacts apps installed?
Is it still possible to theme the UI with the Samsung theme installer?
Finally, which bloat icons have been purged? (ref. screenshot) I realize one's idea of bloat may vary from individual.
Any feedback or commentary is welcome. Thank you for your consideration.

could it work on J320H?
i know it's for 320A/Az but i want to try it

I'm not going to review it (someone else can)
But I used it heavily before I started work on something new.
It's as stable as stock... cause it is stock Nothing tweaked just the few add-ons to let you tweak it easier.
About the bloat.
I did notice I should have left Samsung account (and maybe billing) with the standard install. Because you can't use the theme store without them. But they're in 'bloat'.
You can always install all the debloat options and have 100% deodex stock and edit to your liking.

How do we flash this to our device mainly because twrp and cwm ain't a thing for the j320a. Also I'm using kingroot and I cannot go to su I've tried also flashify does not work either does flashfire how would you go about rooting with su cause I've tried the mrw method and contanstaly it would pop up kinguser has stopped working so do you have another method of rooting the J320A. I just followed the first post about rooting it.

After mrc and kinguser crashes you should have supersu. You need to run that first, let it update the files and then reboot.
If su doesn't even get installed, have the apk ready and install.
Another thing you should make sure your really rooted, reboot after king and recheck.
Also what versions of kingroot and mrw are you using?

I followed the rooting thread OP directions carefully and had many problems. My initial Kingroot was really ugly and heated the phone. I then attempted to use SuperSU-Me Pro (paid version). It was never able to complete, even after several tries. I struggled using various techniques over many hours. (I did have root with Kingroot.) Nothing would remove Kingroot 5.0.5, and as you probably know, Kingroot won't allow for many apps such as Flashfire. Very frustrating. I probably shortened the life of my phone and battery with all the crap I tried. Many pulls of my battery were needed.
I finally wrested control from Kingroot by uninstalling version 5.0.5 and installing Kingroot 4.5 instead. Then SuperSU-Me Pro did its work. Had I used Kingroot 4.5 from the outset, would things would have gone better? I don't know. The rooting process for this phone is a one-way trip with a dubious outcome. I know the Express Prime is not costly, but if you're risk adverse think twice before trying to root. I suppose you can undo the whole thing, but I haven't tried and likely will not.
Despite the problems I had, I believe using SuperSU-Me Pro was worth the cost and ultimately saved time. I'm glad I rooted my phone, but -- damn, it was a lot of effort compared to previous phones and my tablet.
I have not tried the de-odexed ROM posted in this thread's OP, but it's on my to-do list. I'm kind of afraid of messing with my phone for the time being. I'll post a review if and when I try it out.
For what it's worth, I wasn't able to get my built-in flashlight toggle to work. I ran the fix script via flashfire with no success. Update: Fixed after installing Busybox. Thanks, DamienMc!

Then install FlashFire.​ I have rooted and installed ROMs on other devices (Galaxy Exhibit, 2012 Nexus tablet, Moto G), but seemingly devices are more locked-down these days. I understand that TWRP is not available for this device and likely will not be.
Last year, I bought a couple of inexpensive T-Mobile phones and "rooted" them with KingRoot which is still installed on those phones. (Not really thrilled about that.) I put rooted in quotes because it doesn't quite behave like a fully-rooted phone, IMO. I'm not very expert in these things, but I know how to follow steps and have used ODIN, TWRP, et cetera.
I'm leery of working with these more locked-down phones. Am I being paranoid and/or incorrect about these matters?
BTW, thanks for the ROM! I'm surprised there aren't more replies.
Maybe this phone is not as popular as I think it should be. Maybe it's too low-spec for the tech-savvy crowd. I got mine for just $64 at Walmart online, but they've since raised the price to $79. Seems like a good deal, even at that price.
I paid $15 to carrier-unlock it. I had to flash firmware (modem file?) before unlocking, then flash another file (restored modem?) after unlocking. I was following emailed instructions after the initial unlock procedure failed.

Could you please tell the name of the service/company you used to carrier-unlock it ? (I'm in the same situation) Thanks! @danny8
