Samsung sm-j100vpp, 5.1.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running a stock 5.1.1, I need root, and to unlock the carrier. its meant to be a prepaid phone, but i want to put my regular verizon service on it. ***Willing to do what is necessary in the name of android.
This is the phone. Only mine isn't 4.4 jelly bean
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=7987&view=1&c=samsung_sm-j100vpp_galaxy_j1_lte
Literally can't find anything that works.
No links to ANY "unlocking" websites.
They are fake.
I refuse to use kingo root, doesn't work and the malware isn't worth it.

Chirp.. chirp...chirp..

Anything?

King root works, then use supersume app to replace ki ng user with super su i have the sm-j100vpp. And i knw for a fact that all works when done properly

fml
kingo worked, the only problem is when i tried to switch to super su it ended up corrupting my rom, now i cant boot, missing my backup, trying to figure out how to adb or odin to fix that,(i have access to odin menu).....
then onward to get my sm-j100vpp on my post pay account.

I'll give it another shot but I have tried it 3 or 4 times with APK and PC version. Same thing goes with Kingoroot.

does anyone know how to by pass the verizon sim activation on this phone? (sm-j100vpp) can't find a working post

Impossible to Root
If it is has been updated to most recent security patch and firmware! No King Root, No Kingo Root, NO IRoot, No Vroot, even the BST Dongle and software have no effect or chance of rooting this onry ass phone!

Check forums for firmware, i believe if its .tat.md5 odin flashes it regardless of the aboot version. Thus downgrading your bootloader & allowing root. xD

[Q] Root Samsung Galaxy Legend SCH-I200PP

I can't find any threads on this device but it is a really good phone and it was just on sale for Black Friday at Walmart.
I have tried everything to root this phone but to no avail. From what I can see, this phone is identical to the Galaxy Stellar except it is for Verizon Prepaid. Any ideas?
I have the same curiosity!
I forgot some details. I have tried the Bin4ry root tool and DebugFS. Both gave me "Permission Denied" errors which seems to indicate that this phone has a new security patch to work around.
I finally found the solution. Use Cydia Impactor. I can't post a link but just google it.

can someone please post a linkl to a stock rom cause i didnt back mine up and now it is screwed.
If you have received the MK2 patch and lost root or just now thinking about rooting your Legend, There is still a way.
It's called Safe Root. It's designed for the S4 but it works on the Legend just fine. I failed to do restore root when the patch went to my phone, I consequently lost root, tried to root again with Cydia and V Root, and they both failed. After going through the search process again, I found Safe Root here:

Thank you!
In case someone needs to know...
When I connected my phone via USB it initially was "Connected as an installer". Running the saferoot script in this mode didn't work as it would revert to MTP mode midway through. Putting the connection into MTP mode before running the saferoot script worked like a charm.
Thanks to all involved in making this happen and finding out that it works for the Galaxy Legend.
sch-I200pp factory rom
I have a samsung sch-I200pp factory os, trying to get familar w drop box to help out where I was having the same problem. Tips?
Prepaid to postpaid
I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Legend, but of course it is a Prepaid phone and I'm on postpaid. Does anyone know by chance, if I root this phone, is there a way to reprogram it or unlock it from prepaid so I can use it on postpaid? Thanks for your help...There's gotta be a way, right? It's just unlocking it, I think all Verizon does is put in a code. Thanks in advance!
Anyone with a rooted SCH-i200PP can please provide me with a copy of the /system/etc ??

I9200 root after been rooted and updated firmware???

Hi folks,
Ive been having a strange problem with a couple Galaxy Mega I9200. I have rooted both before without any problems using KINGO originally. The i decided to update both of them with version UBUCNA2. When i tried to re root them back, even though the process have run fine a couple times the phone is not rooting. At this point i dont know what else to do to try to root those phones. I have tried every single method around this forum i think not just KINGO this time. And have not been able to reach root the way it should. Titanium backup shows not able to aquire root priviledges, and other root apps also. Can someone please help me on this?? Keep in mind im not a newbie so dont give me the recovery method advice without something new or to use KINGO because ive have done that already. Thanks a lot guys
You upgraded your phones to the latest knox enabled firmware which has the knox bootloader. You cannot go back to an older firmware or flash a custom rom now.
To root, try the directions provided in this thread and use the melius3gxx files instead of meliusltexx.

Ok thanks, the phones already had the knox apk so my guess was that it was going to be the same thing. Thanks for clarifying that one. And thanks for the advice.
Thanks again, turns out the only thing that is failling root access is when i try to unlock the phone via box. For some reason when its checking for SU access it fails. But thanks anyway i managed to solve the Root problem.
root.
I rooted through Phill touch Recovery.

Rooting attempts all failed..now what?

Hi,
I use Samsung Verizon Galaxy S4 Lollipop, version 5.0.1 I545.
I tried kingroot, Kingo root, towelroot, and all the rooting programs out there(both one click and PC versions). However, all of them failed to root my device.
I really, really want to root my device....is there anyway to root this WITHOUT particlar rooting programs? Like, doing all on my own?
Help...

There is no root for 5.x on Verizon S4.,,sorry. There was a method to keep root if you were on 4.4, but if you updated it is too late.
Is there a way to go back to 4.4.?

That would be a no too. the bootloader was changed when the S4 was upgraded to OC1
and it seems to be the same for OF1 blocking downgrade to OC1 as well.
check your current firmware version. if you're on OC1 try to do kingroot again, as that one is a hit or miss, but OF1 it can't do currently.
"About the phone" doesn't show me the firmware version. do i need a program to find it>
I am on OC1. King root is failing at 52%. What should I do? I am on I545VRUGOC1. EVERY ATTEMPT TO ROOT HAD FAILED. CAN I DOWNGRADE?

You need to use kingroot on windows desktop from what I heard. it also seems to be a hit or miss and might need multiple attempts.
Can you NOT hijack my thread????
And my buildnumber is LRX22C1545VrRUGOF1.
So,,,I guess rooting my device is not possible.
Can I do it own my own, as I said in title? Without programs like Kingo root etc.
I saw people doing it using command window, TWRP, etc etc

okay, here's the thing
i soft bricked my verizon s4 couple of days ago trying to downgrade from OC1 (5.0.1) to MDK (4.2.x) via Odin. before doing that i tried various root methods via pc , king root & towelroot apk , king root desktop, none of it worked. but after i flashed the stock OC1 via odin to recover my device, the first exploit i tried to root was Kingroot desktop app (it was all in chinese i used google translator on android) and it worked! i replaced the knigroot app with supersu using terminal ( http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html ) . though you cant flash any custom recoveries on OC1 . i hope if this is any help.
PC KingRoof worked afted enabling debugging mode and also changing the USB cable.
0F1 can be rooted
The kernel can be downgraded from 0F1 to 0C1, flashing with Odin. (Search for that....) Success is shown if the DATE on the build goes from July to March. It will still say "0F1" but don't let that worry you. From that point I got frustrated with Kingroot language barrier and used MobileGo program (on PC, with 15-day trial period) "one-click Root" option. After that the kernel can be flashed back to 0F1. (You don't have to, but if not you keep getting annoying notifications: "Unauthorized actions have been detected, etc")
I also use the desktop kingroot app to root my gs4 because wondershare does not work on my pc

Did you use the apk or the PC version to obtain root?
how did this work
So did you ever find out if the PC or apk was used. Was there any issues, how did it work. Also has anyone figured out a hotspot mod for this device. I have it on the boost unlimited plan. I really need the hotspot.
Kingroot non PC version will work on any device but you ever uninstall king root will not reroot that device
My question is will the PC versipn?
kingroot
So I can just install the kingroot apk and it should root my device. I am kinda new to this. Will it also install SuperSU or will I need to find a way to flash it, if I need it at all. Also. Does anybody know about how to get free hotspot. I read that changing the apk to end in dun will work. Anybody know for sure.
Yes second try but if you ever uninstall you will be looking for a new way king root will not work a second time nomatter how you try but its safe will not brick device and will cover as antivirus phone protection oh if use antivirus get rid myself f it before you try kingroot or your phone will glitch king root is read as threat because it has no limitations on what it can do BTW I use the y538 model
hotspot
Have you found a hotspot hack or mod. I am gonna wait till I know I can get free hotspot before I root it.
I have my y538 rooted but I really want a custom recovery or rom anyone got one or know how
King root didn't work for me I've tried all and PC version, but very new to android and rooting. When I run the app it gets about halfway then stops and wont. Is there anything else I should've done as well, sorry but can't find anything, anywhere else about rooting this phone and version

Use KingRoot APK, does it easily.
I dont like the app myself so im going to remove it with lucky patcher soon. Once king root is installed into the system i cant get him out for fear of loosing root. I just installed SuperSu fromChaindd but now I can not update the binary, Im going to clone superuser from my other phone so hes updated and then may he will stay updated when I install to system app with lucky patcher.
Oh, and by the way, Your bootloader is locked so you wont be able to change the rom. SuperSu couldnt even install himself into the system like he has on every other phone. Dont even try to install a recovery at this point because your phone may never boot again!
Someone is going to have to dump a backup and figure out how to fool the checks into thinking its a real OTA update on the way back in.

[Tutorial] How to Root the G850A (AT&T Galaxy Alpha)

Huge thanks to vadosnake for discovering this !
It's been a wait of 2 years, and King root has finally achieved root on this device. This method was tested on the Lollipop firmware, and others have said it works on KitKat as well. To root the G850A, follow these steps:
1.) Download the two APKs provided below, which we'll need for later
2.) Enable Unknown Sources by going to Settings, then Security, and the option should be right there
3.) Now install KingRoot 4.81. A message will pop up saying that the app is malicious, but just click "Install Anyway"
4.) Now enter the King root app and click Root. The phone will reboot, but that is normal. Go back into the app again and the process should continue until it's complete. Voila, your phone is now rooted. However, we will be replacing KingRoot with SuperSU.
5.) Install the second APK called SuperSume. After it's done, click the big green button, give it root access, and it will replace KingRoot with SuperSU in 1 minute.
6.) Go into the Play Store and update SuperSU. After it's done updating, go into the app and it will pop up with a message saying to update the binaries. Click continue then "Normal". DO NOT CLICK TWRP/CWM, OR IT WILL SOFTBRICK YOUR DEVICE.
7.) After that., you're done. You now have root with SuperSU.
Please make sure to show this to AT&T Galaxy Alpha users. Especially developers, so we can get some roms
Did anyone try this? Why does King Root need internet access to root? I'm afraid to turn on the internet in case it tries to steal data.

It needs Internet access to search in their database for a root solution.
I got SuperSU to install, but it can't update the binaries. It says "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again." after trying to update the binaries. The Root Checker app did confirm that it was rooted.

No Luck
I just ran the included 4.8.1 and online 5.0.1 versions, neither worked. So I tried the 4.8.1 a few times (including restarts) and the Super-SuMe anyway, but it didn't do anything past "Preparing environment" for 20 minutes.
Additional note, the 4.8.1 seems to have problems in general. After trying to root and failing, it'll continue using 80% of my cpu on some other processes within it's directory (mostly Schrodinger).
I'm running Android 5.0.2 (G850AUCU1BOC7), Kernel 3.4.0-4486597, Build LRX22G. It's the last update ATT gave us.

Same, tried both 4.8.1 and 5.0.1, neither worked. Same android and baseband version as yours.
Thanks so much for this. I'm curious exactly which version of Lollipop on the g850a this was tested and working on? Was it specifically 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 something like that? I just want to make sure I can follow it exactly so it works.
Root access was lost after a couple of days. I'm on 4.4.4.

Well this is strange, I followed this exact tutorial about 1 month ago and everything worked fine, now the app just freezes and after 5 minutes gives off a "Root Fail" message. I'm still running v4.8.1 on the app and still running on the KitKat firmware. This makes no sense at all.
Edit: The phone is no longer supported by Kingroot
Hey guys, sorry for not replying, my internet has been down for the past two weeks . It seems that everyone is having problems keeping root after a while. I might not be a developer, but here's my advice: Once root is obtained, do what you want to do (ie. change emojis or install ViperAudio), then don't touch the SuperSU app until some more skilled developers put this root to full use . I'm sorry for not being more useful, but I just want everyone to know that this device isn't dead. What we need right now is something like SafeStrap for some some-what custom roms.
Any one having issue getting this to work?

Yeah, Kingroot pulled support from it after people started using supersu-me to get supersu on their devices instead of kingroot. Well, to me, it sounds like a jealousy problem on Kingroots end. It's not like everyone is buying the pro version of the app. Their main source of money is ad revenue. They also pulled support from the Galaxy S5 and many other devices mainly because of people using supersu-me. Kingroot has got to get the stick that is in it's butt right now out ASAP. A 'friend' of mine literally sold his S5 because it couldn't be rooted anymore, and i'm thinking about selling my G850A because it can't be rooted anymore.
Just to clarify this, there's absolutely no way on the internet that the G850A can be rooted, ever?

Not anymore. It only had root for like 1 month then Kingroot removed support, you can blame them. Unless someone is exploit something so we can have root back, there is no way to root this phone anymore. I know, it sucks, just like the Kingroot developers, but that's just life.

Hi
Im doing that and 100% complete but i check root by root check not request from super user
Solution found!
Hi guys. I think I found the trick. Just disable Internet connection (Mobile data and WiFi) just before lunching kingroot app this would evade the app from "searching the best root solution" which is "nothing found".
I used the exact same files uploaded in the OP and it works great, including the supersume part.
Good luck.
I'm very lucky to root my device. waited One year and 4 months and got the fruit of patience. Now I love my device. I have patched Tethering Provision. Now I can easily open hotspot.. no need of foxfi etc... ? Congratulations to those who got there device ROOOOTED.. ?
