Hello XDA!
I am writing this thread to ask for help rooting my Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.
I attempted to use apps such as: Framaroot, Kingroot, etc.. but so far none of them have worked and I have not been able to find a working guide on the internet of how to root my phone.
I also tried installing an unofficial version of TWRP for my phone but everytime I tried to boot into the recovery it would say "No Command" and then boot into the original recovery.
Is anyone able to help me root my phone? Can it even be done?
Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!
Phone Specifications:
Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.

Try this at your own risk
Make a backup before trying
I got root access with this method
Download stock Rom from sammobile extract and there should be 5 MD5 files extract the AP file with 7z and copied boot.img on to sdcard
Installed MagicalMmanager-7 used it to patch the boot.img to a tar file
Copied the boot image to my pc desktop then flashed the boot with odin
When I booted it back up magisk manager kept crashing so I uninstalled it and installed magiskmanager-5.23 rebooted it opened magisk and followed the prompts to update it

Hello there.
I have tried to patch my boot.img but when I put into a .tar and flash it, it doesn't flash, it's just stuck on file analysis despite being able to flash other files. Would you be able to send me a copy of your boot.img, thanks.
Kindest Regards

Unfortunately I have not found a solution. Please notify me if you find one.
here is a copy of my boot.img after flashing this you will get a verification problem and you will have to reset your phone if it bootloops into recovery or starts to update and says no command take battery out put it back in and boot it again or boot in to odin mode and push down and boot it eventually it will boot in to recovery then factory reset it. first boot may take 5-10 minutes
my software version is J250GDXU2ARD3_J250GXSA2ARD3_XSA

Hello and thanks a lot! I flashed my boot image and now when it boots it says "Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" and an infinite booting screen.
What do I do from here? or do I need to flash the original rom?
don't worry about "Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" mine does it too here is another boot.img after i flashed this i got verification failed so i used 7z to tar userdata.img.ext4 i extracted from the AP image i got the boot.img from.
i put boot in BL and userdata in AP and flashed it. it fired up as normal and then i installed magisk apk

Hey, sorry for the late response. Everything is working fine! I now have superuser abilities but everytime I try to flash my recovery with TWRP it just loads the stock recovery. I even tried removing certain files from the root folder to avoid the stock recovery being flashed but it hasn't worked.
Any idea? Ps. You are a life saver my man.

glad i could help and i don't think there is an official twrp for this device here is one i ported a couple things still don't work mtp and sideload but it's not really usable until someone ports a rom due to the data encryption which you have to format to be able to flash anything

Hello,
Sorry, I don't have the J250G anymore as I traded it for a J5.
Kindest Regards
Jayden
My internal storage showed I only have 8gb instead of 16gb. Is there a fix for this?
P.S. Wiping data fixes it
ok
You can extract it from the AP file from stock firmware using 7z
hey
hey everyone im just wondering but is there a kernel for this device yet or any rom ("J250G")

it might not have loaded because it was maybe an updated twrp eith an old preloader, try flashing an older twrp or update preloader

Hi,
I'm unsure if this method will work for you, but I also had "preloader Error message" in FlashTools trying to flash TWRP in Stock Rom 2016810 while trying to flash the Eragon ROM.
As the Stock ROM you are using (20171201) is kinda newer than stock 2016810 Im kinda assuming it should work the same.
In order for it to flash without errors, I did the following and worked fine :
Use FlashTools ver v5.1612 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027
Download your stock rom 20171201
https://mega.nz/#!atZAyKxb!i6jpNQNR_VZZ3nS79LhL2xi78WHx7XI4gKFllc8 RJKw
Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092696060
Unzip all and and copy the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_20170112 Rom folder.
Then open Flash Tools - add the scatter file from the Elephone_P9000_20170112 Rom folder
Untick everything in flashtools except the recovery and then try to flash, hopefully it will work for you too. without errors '

Hi, I think this maybe to do with the new preloader etc..
I read this in the thread for TWRP for Elephone P9000 3.0.2-8:
1. load scatter.txt in earlier post.
2. select preloader, lk and boot imgs, location of these from the stock 20160810 ROM.
3. select recovery, location of TWRP img.
4. unselect everything else.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/el...hone-p9000-t3426678/post70713618#post70713618
So maybe Unzip the 20171201 Rom, copy TWRP scatter & recovery.img to this folder, open flash tools and select recovery and point to recovery.img
But also select preloader, lk and boot img (double check they are pointing to corresponding files from the 20171201 ROM
Again, I am unsure if that will work but as I noticed the above post in the TWRP thread, thought it maybe relevant to your issue
PS: Windows 10 can be awkward with splash tools at times, I have windows 10 but in order for it to work - I have to press the Download in SplashTools, kinda count to 5, then hold vol + and then attach USB to my phone and it works fine
If your device already rooted, you can also install flashyfi and flash the .img file.

I've wasted countless hours trying to get spf to work with my windows 10 machine. Your solution worked like a charm, the flashing was successful (managed to get the process to work when before I was getting only preloader errors), however I still don't have twrp but the standard android recovery. Have you got any other solution that I should try? Cheers.

Have you tried pressing power and then keep finger pressed on vol up to go straight to TWRP recovery and then flashing a new ROM in TWRP ?
I didn't do that as I didn't have another rom saved in my phone. What I eventually managed to do was flash the official nougat via spf tool. I'm saying eventually because this piece of crap windows 10 didn't want to make the connection even with the volume up button. When I was going to give up and order a new phone, it connected and now I am happy even though I don't have twrp nor root, but not going to risk it again. Thanks again for your help though, greatly appreciated.

Hi! I was trying to root Nokia 1
I flash TWRP through fastboot and it worked! But the problem was I was unable to see my files there.I think because of encryption..
So, I accidentally factory reset my phone through TWRP and then, I was unable to boot into system again..
I was stuck in TWRP
So, I go to fastboot and flash stock_recovery.IMG and after that when I reboot. I am seeing a black screen. I can feel vibration when press home key or home + volume up/down. but screen is black
Please help...

Use micro SD card for twrp. You can't remove encryption just by factory reset. I know how to remove encryption on Nougat but that method doesn't work on Oreo. When you flashed TWRP flash SuperSU (not Magisk) then boot to system, after that boot to twrp recovery again and wipe factory reset and wipe internal storage. You have removed encryption. SuperSU needs to be updated to patch plat and non play file contexts to remove encryption on Oreo. Or someone can make flashable zip to remove encryption.
First find nb0 file for Nokia 1 and try to flash rom with OST.

Nokia1 uses MTK CPU right? If you can get the ota zip of the current update on your phone, you can extract the boot.img file then boot into download mode and type fast boot flash boot <boot.img file>

Same here. Seems that the decryption does not work. Better make sure your phone is not encrypted before messing with twrp (3.2.3).
Be careful
Some Nokia 1 are a TA 1060 variant number and if you flash the wrong file you are going to have further problems.
The process to root and get TWRP on the nokias Is complicated enough without everyone suggesting wrong model variants / numbers.
I guarantee someone will download the wrong file for the wrong model and come here crying.
is this the real firmware?

I could not find any custom Roms for your device.
I could find an stock Rom for the Mya-l41 trough.
Here is an link: https://mega.nz/#!wKpT1ZaS!CV-2E4sNnUwIurskAdqCDpDawWlZD2UeABtSELk_ffc
That should be an update.app or an flashable zip.
You may get Huawei Update Extractor and extract the system.img and boot.img of the update.app
After that flash system.img and boot.img from fastboot.
Warning. This may soft brick your device.
Good luck.

Does it show an error or anything?
Fastboot flash system system.img
ok, so i found what i thought was a stock rom for my device on some spanish forum and used sp flash tool to install it
problem is, sp flash tool formatted my phone, but encountered an error trying to install the firmware and now my phone wont boot and windows says its not recognised
is there any fix to this? or is my phone bricked?
hey again! i know this post has been a wild ride of me doing stupid stuff and bricking my phone, but i got the firmware back!
only catch is that i'm receiving some nvram error (which i got on my previous phone too. i swear this is the last time im going mediatek), so if anybody has a method that can fix this it'd be highly appreciated
thanks
Hi, Ibxda.
Can you please share with us where you found the stock rom, what went wrong with flashing, and how you managed to get the firmware back?
I have a running system, but I rooted it and cannot apply official upgrades. I'd like to go back, upgrade and root again. I would appreciate the info on your progress.

You should root with Magisk, it's systemless and it should not affect updates. If you want to update you should flash stock recovery. After you updated you are free to flash Twrp again if you want. If you are rooted with SuperSU you should uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk
I unlocked the device bootloader thanks to Narender, and tried to flash Lineage OS 18.1. After flashing the ROM and vendor zip files, I switched the current slot and restarted to fastboot mode. Then I flashed the vbmeta image. Then I rebooted to recovery to check the current slot. Slot was as expected, so I rebooted the system.
Then, TWRP gave me an alert saying "No OS is installed" before rebooting. I was unsure what was the reason for it because the ROM was just installed, so I rebooted the system.
After that, device went straight into fastboot mode after "Android One" screen. No matter which option I choose from there, it keeps restarting the bootloader. I tried using "fastboot reboot recovery" but that did not work either. Then I tried to change the active slot of the device using fastboot commands. That did not help either.
Now I'm stuck with a Nokia 7.2 that can only be turned off or start in fastboot mode. Is it bricked beyond saving? I just want to install TWRP in any of the slots and install any usable ROM. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Installed NFT and flashed the stock ROM using that. All good now. I still need to figure out how to install ROMs on A/B systems using TWRP.

I actually installed few ROMs after my previous reply. But none of them had working WiFi, which is a deal breaker. Went back to stock ROM.

Hey, thanks. But I thought it's not possible due how the signatures in security patches work. So I gave up. Maybe I misunderstood. Linking to Raghu's reply below.

No, wi-fi with twrp still doesn't work. But what I did was, I extracted the boot image of the ROM I was using, flashed twrp, flashed gapps and then flashed the boot file I extracted earlier. So, wi-fi does work in the end. But, you can't have twrp perpetually installed
Some tutorials I saw online used fastboot boot twrp.img
What this is supposed to do is boot into twrp temporarily and is gone after restart.
But, on this phone, instead of booting to recovery after the command, it boots to the OS. And when you restart the boot image is gone and you restart into the stock recovery. So, that method doesn't work

Yup, pretty much what I experienced too.
I haven't tried extracting boot image and flashing it manually. At this point to be honest, I'm reluctant to put my hands on it again without having a clear step-by-step guide about it.
I did write a step by step guide. But i'll leave it to you to decide if it is clear. Ok I realize I haven't linked the post.

Thanks Ujwal, appreciate it. I'll have a look.
Hey guys,
I've tried to update my Nord 2 to the newest software (A.12) but every time I try it, it just reboots after a couple seconds and displays an error message:"Verification error". I've tried rebooting it multiple times, without any success. It is rooted with magisk and the bootloader is open, but I don't have TWRP installed. Could you guys hook me up with a solution?
Regards

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it! I've looked at it, but I haven't found a specific update from a.11 to a.12, I just didn't want to take the risk to update with the indian variant from a.11 to a.13.

No need to download the update file from third parties. If you downloaded it from settings, you can find it in your internal storage at android/data/com.oneplus.ota/files
For the boot file instead, you can find boot files both for indian and Eu in that post

Thank you, I really appreciate your help! I'm going to try it as soon as possible, do I have to flash the vbmeta.img, if I use my own update.zip file? (Sorry, I have literally zero knowledge)

Yup, the order is:
Backup EVERYTHING.
Flash stock boot image for your current version (A.11)
Flash update.zip via recovery
Flash patched vbmeta via fstboot
Re flash TWRP via fastboot
Reflash magisk:
Flash the .zip it via recovery (not reccomended). OR,
Download and flash an already patched boot image for the updated version (A.12). OR,
Extract your stock updated boot image (A.12) with adb shell and dd (or download it), boot into system, patch the image with the magisk app, flash the patched boot image in recovery.
If during one of these steps you get back the stock recovery, just boot into fastboot and reflash twrp. Without magisk installed the rom tends to restore the stock recovery by itself.
Thank you for your help!
Worked like a charm!
