Any one be able to help if this can be rooted?

Here we go. This is for S320VLUDU2API3 firmware, but probably works on any revision 2 firmware.


KNOX should remain 0x0



Instructions

1. Enable OEM UNLOCK
In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.

2. Flash the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
(See below for how to recover)
ENG_BOOT_S320VL_API3

3. Install boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the ENG_BOOT_S320VL_API3.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Reboot
Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.

4. Install and run Kingroot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Make sure you have an internet connection.
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.

5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA

6. Wifi fix:

modify the line below in /system/build.prop:

ro.securestorage.support=true to false


Recovering from a soft brick:
Flash the stock firmware provided below wirh ODIN
https://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sm-s320vl

Good luck I hope it works for you.

Unfortunately you can't install custom recovery on this device. This device has a locked bootloader.

What issues are you reporting, did you manage to gain root?

Does it reboot itself as soon as SuperSU me installs supersu? That's probably the reason for root not sticking.

You could try the script below, I have confirmation it still works for the same procedure.
Steps 3 to 12.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484

Obviously use updated apps and don't flash the boot partition.
You will also need to flash the system version of SuperSU not EverRoot.
When you get to step 12, don't flash the firmware.
Disable EverRoot and just flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120

That should give you permanent root.
Sorry, but I don't use any of those apps you posted.

Yes as soon as super su me installs ask to install binaries ans ask to reboot it will lose root.

I will try the script without flashing firmware

Thank you ill let you know how i get on

My friend done a tutorial what he did on the process when losing root he followed your first guide http://pastebin.com/raw/ZSZExWt6

It's not related to the bootloader, the bootloader is still locked, it's simply an incomplete installation of SuperSU. Probably due to permissions.

Follow the guide posted above and you should be good. I'd also suggest using root package disabler to disable knox.
Hit search in the app and type knox. Disable all knox related files.

So can anybody confirm where we're up to with this. Has root been achieved? Are we good to post this as a viable root solution?

Hi,
still not rooting perm -- Followed the exact tutorial you have gave us , me and my friend and we both lost root.

stock > odin > kingroot apk > supersu me > flashfire > supersu-sytemmode.2.79 rebooted lost root.

the only way we can do this is not to ever reboot....to keep root

So even when flashing root with Flashfire still losing root? Did you try using the script posted above?

Also could you post a screenshot of Root validator after losing root?

I would also suggest flashing the stock firmware with FLASHFIRE.
Ensure to Uncheck the boot partition and disable EverRoot.
Add the system supersu zip to the install.

It may be remnants of Kingroot causing the issue. Flashing this way will ensure a clean system with just supersu.

Having the same problem

I can't even do the OEM unlock and wondering if Knox is stopping me from doing it. Kingroot gets to about 77% before giving up. Also tried "one click root" and "odin" and a couple of others. Tried to uninstall Knox with many different aps but noway will it let me. I bought this J3 in HongKong and it is full of crap and adds that pop up and cover the whole screen. I have had some negative affects on the phone with all the playing around I've done to the point where when I hold down the buttons (power volume etc) the phone just goes into its first normal boot screen and stays there. Hope I haven't hijacked the thread but thought I may have the same problem as the original thread poster

Why can't you enable OEM unlock? Remove any pin/password from the device first.

I was surprised at first when you directed me to this thread ashyx, the first word I saw was Kingroot and I was sure a dev such as yourself wouldn't use that.

I write against Kingroot all the time. It is information stealing malware that doesn't even give true root, packs PUPs, and sends IMEI and other info to China upon install (check the logcat).

And it's nortoriously hard to get rid of and replace with a different SU. From what I read above, true root hasnt' been achieved yet. Ive used KR a few times in the past, but never again. It used to be easier to replace KingUser w SuperSU. Not so much anymore.

Please folks, Kingroot IS NOT actual root ; please quit posting about it in a true professional developer site.

Ahyx, PM me if you wish. I'd like to work on any methods other than this. I can get the bootloader unlocked from Net 10. But not until having it hooked up w/ lthem for a year. I've already chosen to disconnect this device anyhow because I can't stand using a non-rooted phone. Too bad, it's a good machine. I got a great buy on it. $50US brand new. Same store today $99. WalMart = $120

I just bought an LG G3 for $45. Verizon model, interesting root. I had to downgrade firmware to achieve root. It's TWRPd, and running Dirty Unicorns 10.6, a nice rom, better once I mod it.

Tried the latest RR rom for it. Nougat was cool, but too early, too many bugs.
