If the phone will not boot and it will not go into recovery mode then
here is a sure way to fix it.
Easy step by step guide:
After you have followed these instructions your phone will in the same condition
as it was the day you purchased it with the benefit of being rooted.
Download the stock-rooted T999 firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
After downloading it make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Here is a link for ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app) http://d-h.st/Q14
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file.
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!
I was waiting for this all morning HAHA @Aerowinder
If all else fails, and even if you are successfull, buy one of them. They are magical.

I just got the P607T version and i tried searching for the specific version threads but i didnt have any luck.
i have 4.4.2 id like to root and possiably update to the latest KK or LP while keeping the samsung progs (like multi window) and hopefully keep T-mobile sim support?
-thanks
bump?
Just got my hands on a P607T on 5.1.1 today. My coworker was getting an iPad and wanted to trade the Note in for like $37 in store credit! Can you believe that? I managed to score a great little companion tab for my Note 4 for next to nothing!
Anyway, I hopped on XDA and was a little overwhelmed by the various models of this tablet, and unfortunately found little mention of the T-Mobile variety. After reading through several posts (and being pretty familiar with rooting other Samsung devices) I figured I'd give something a go, hoping that if I mucked the tablet up I could just ODIN the stock firmware.
After doing what I listed below, I appear to be rooted (according to Titanium Backup), and root sticks after a reboot. However, TWRP does not stick. This isn't a problem for me, as I'm content with the stock rom, but it begs the question as to whether I could've just ODIN'ed CF Auto Root and been done with it. If that's the case you can skip everything I did further down and just:
1. Download latest CF AutoRoot from here (https://download.chainfire.eu/551/C...F-Auto-Root-lt03ltetmo-lt03ltetmo-smp607t.zip) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. I was able to do this by restarting the tablet and holding the Home button and Volume Down button as it rebooted. Press Volume Up when prompted and the tablet should show the green android along with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
3. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the CF Auto Root download. Inside this folder, you will see the ODIN application. Run it as Administrator.
4. From this ODIN window, click "AP" and select the CF-Auto-Root file that is in the same folder you just ran ODIN from.
5. Connect your tablet which is in Download Mode to your PC. When you see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]", click Start.
5. Let it do its thing. You should see the magic happening on your tablet as CF Auto Root is installed, and then the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.
However, this isn't exactly how I did it, so I'm listing all of my steps here and you may proceed as you see fit:
1. Download latest ODIN from here (http://odindownload.com/download/) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Download latest TWRP here (https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote1012014qcom.html) to your PC.
3. Download latest CF AutoRoot from here (https://download.chainfire.eu/551/C...F-Auto-Root-lt03ltetmo-lt03ltetmo-smp607t.zip) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.
4. Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. I was able to do this by restarting the tablet and holding the Home button and Volume Down button as it rebooted. Press Volume Up when prompted and the tablet should show the green android along with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
5. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the latest ODIN download and run the application as Administrator. Click the "AP" button and select the TWRP file you downloaded.
6. While your tablet is in Download Mode, connect it via USB to your PC and you should see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]"
7. Before you click Start in ODIN, be ready to immediately hold down Home and Volume Up on the tablet. Click Start in ODIN and immediately hold down the Home+Volume Up key combo on the tablet for 10 seconds. If done correctly, the tablet will reboot into TWRP after about 30 seconds. (Note: I read this in another thread, and it's intended to keep the tablet from overwriting a custom recovery with the stock recovery when rebooting. Again, this ended up not working for me, as TWRP did not stick after reboot, but I did it as part of this process to get root, which seems successful, so I'm including it here.)
8. Reboot the tablet to System from TWRP. Reboot back into Download Mode. If you haven't already, disconnect the tablet from your PC.
9. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the CF Auto Root download. Inside this folder, you will see another ODIN application. Run it as Administrator.
10. From this ODIN window, click "AP" and select the CF-Auto-Root file that is in the same folder you just ran ODIN from.
11. Connect your tablet which is in Download Mode to your PC. When you see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]", click Start.
12. Let it do its thing. You should see the magic happening on your tablet as CF Auto Root is installed, and then the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.
Again, your experience may vary with this. I took a gamble and gave this a shot and I appear to have root according to Titanium Backup, which has been a pretty reliable indicator in the past. I may run into problems down the line. If so, I'll update.

How's performance? I want to try it, but my main concern is the GPS issues. I want to eventually mount my P607T in my Jeep for navigation, music, podcasts, etc. Any chance you've tested GPS?

Performance is very smooth especially for me going from stock 4.4.2 to MM
I just threw my sim from my phone into the tablet and loaded up Waze, it seems like it works but thats the best i can tell you, i haven't had the chance to really use the sim functions yet
Do you guys have brand-new devices? Can you make a backup of factory-original esf?
While attempting to install 6.0.1 on my SM-T705 I accidentally deleted the OS leaving me with the black screen of death (Samsung Tablet S logo and powered by Android). As I have only recently moved to Android and am still learning the ropes so any idiot-proof instructions to resurrect my tablet would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Just flash the stock firmware with odin. Available at sammobile or youmobile.
Next time don't be silly and use TWRP to make that all important backup.
Here is how to flash firmware on your device:
1) Obtain the firmware. I find the most trustworthy place to DL it to be SamMobile. (You will need an account and it is a very slow download)
2) Download Odin3. It can be downloaded from here.
3) Download SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip from here
4) Extract the zip and install the drivers
5) Power off your device. Once it is fully powered off, hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME until you reach the "Custom OS" screen. Once you reach this screen, press Volume Up.
6) Plug your device into your computer and extract the Odin zip. Now run the Odin EXE.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THIS POINT ON VERY CAREFULLY
8) Extract the .tar.md5 from the firmware zip you downloaded from SamMobile earlier.
7) In Odin, select "AP" and select the .tar.md5. Odin will appear to hang, but give it a few minutes to finish processing the file.
8) Click "Start" in Odin.
9) Once the firmware download is complete, your device will reboot. It should work after this. If not, reboot back into Recovery mode to factory reset.
Thanks to you both for the help. I'm back up and running and the tablet has already been backed up with TWRP just in case I do something dumb like this again.

Android 9.0
Hello, when it will be possible ? If never, why ?
I followed the exact process but everytime i tried to boot into TWRP recovery immediately after the flashing, the device still boots into stock recovery instead of TWRP
Please help me with this
Thank you
I figured out a way to root the Galaxy J7 duo
Actually i have tried lot of ways to root using TWRP flash and all.. but one day i accidentally bricked my device
So i downloaded the stock ROM to flash my device
And i downloaded the 8.0 android ROM
So this root method basically tested on android 8.0
So now i have android 8.0 stock ROM downloaded
Step 1 -
So make sure you also downloaded the ROM
And extract the ROM file (you must have got the "AP" "CP" "BL" "CSC" and "HOME CSC" file)
Then copy the "AP" file in your phone
Then install magisk manager in your phone
Open magisk, select install, select and patch a file from magisk
Then select "AP" file
And wait while magisk is patching the "AP" file
When flashing is done the patched file will be saved on storage, emulated, 0, download (file will be saved as "magisk_patched.tar")
Then simply copy the patched file in your computer
Step 2 -
Open odin in your Computer
In odin, select "magisk_patched.tar" in "AP" section
Select "BL" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "BL" section
Select "CP" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "CP" section
Select "HOME CSC" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "HOME CSC" section
make sure you select all the official files from the stock ROM folder... just instead of the "AP" file, select the "magisk_patched.tar"
Then connect your phone via USB cable
Odin will detect and show "added" message
Start the flashing process
It will take few minutes
When its done your phone will boot up
But it will show something like "erasing" and "verification unsuccessful"
Just agree with that and erase the phone
(It will cause a data loss because everything will be deleted and your phone will reset, so i suggest to make a backup using samsung smart switch)
Then when your phone will reboot, just follow the steps to setup
Amd install magisk latest apk
Open magisk and boom!
You can already realize that magisk root is activated
Amd magisk will ask you to "setup environment"
Just agree and your phone will reboot withing 5 seconds
And done!
Your phone is now rooted
Install root checker and verify your root status
how to un-brick
Same thing here,
Tell me how you un-bricked your phone
I bricked my phone by installing wrong twrp file to sm-j720f android pie with odin
and now it shows only bootloader screen and I can't even go to recovery mode or home screen just showing " SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO secured by Knox powerd by android" noting else
That is exactly what was happened in my phone
So what i did just downloaded the Stock ROM for J7 duo from the sam mobile website.
Then extract the ROM and you will get few files ("AP", "BL", "CP", "CSC", "HOME CSC")
Then boot your phone into download mode using this method
(Connect the phone to your PC using USB cable, then press and hold Power + volume down + home, then when the "powered by android" logo appears release only the power button... so your phone will boot into download mode, press volume up to continue)
Now, in odin you can see "added" message that means device is connected
Now select the ROM files respectively, BL, AP, CP, CSC
Then click start, and the process will start, will take few minutes
When done, your phone will boot normally
Yeah everything is right until...
[grand_theft;83142325]That is exactly what was happened in my phone
***********
So what i did just downloaded the Stock ROM for J7 duo from the sam mobile website.
Then extract the ROM and you will get few files ("AP", "BL", "CP", "CSC", "HOME CSC") *********
Then boot your phone into download mode using this method
Fact that I cant even go to download mode I tried out many times
Just follow this step
(Connect your computer with your phone using USB cable, then press and hold Power + volume down + home, then when the phone vibrates and appears the samsung logo again just release only the power key, while holding the volume down and home key)
(Just release only the power key when the "powered by android" logo appears)
Thats how you can go to the download mode
No virtual change
Done it as u say,
But my mobile shows noting but just logo screen
*****SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO secured by Knox powered by android*****
again and again
These is not first time, last I did the same mistake before and I went to Samsung service store they recovered it, I don't know how they did but it worked.
These time I want to (tring to) do it on my own bcoz I love playing with ROM's, root, etc.
Thanks for replys
I also did the same mistake by flashing wrong TWRP
But however i managed to enter into downlod mode following those steps
And flashed official ROM to unbrick the phone
You must go into download mode to flash the official ROM using odin
Thanks alot
Thanks man,
I'm able to enter download mode and I installed official ROM. Now in using it as normal but (1)Secure folder and Pay mini are not working.
(2)Do you have any idea on other ROMs that works on SM-J720F other than Samsung's one UI.
(3)can I install android 8 on it in ordered to root as you said it in previous post.
(4)from previous your post on oreo twrp explanation, is twrp works fine. What happens to twrp if I update phone to Q (from system updater)
I'm glad you made it!
Now,
1) Secure folder and pay mini won't work because the phone thinks you rooted your phone and maybe your binary is cracked (so forget using those)
2) I'm not sure about any ROMs which is stable with this model. But you can search the internet (I think pixel ROM is pretty popular)
3) I'm not sure if my process of rooting supports android 9.0 or not, because i personally tetsted it on 8.0, So you can download the oreo ROM from the internet and then follow all the steps i mentioned before
4) If you want to install TWRP, you can still install TWRP after rooting via the method i provided
(You can install TWRP using flashify on a rooted phone)
But if you want root access then you can simply root your phone first..
And whatever custom ROMs you want to install, install it using flashify
Because if you update software via official OTA, the root access and TWRP both will be gone
And if you root your phone, then however you won't be able to perform a official OTA update.
(First root your phone, then simply download your TWRP file and flash it with root permission within your phone)

Just agree and your phone will reboot withing 5 seconds
And done!
Your phone is now rooted
Install root checker and verify your root status

Ok I agree with you,
But what if I replace Oreo's AP file with android 10's AP file(which I installed recently on my phone), will it boot with root or not.

I have not tested this method on any other android version, you can still try it on your own, there is nothing to lose, just make a backup before flashing. If you succeed then that's great
But i have personally tested this method only on android 8.0
(Before doing anything, just make a proper backup using samsung smart switch. So you can restore your important data)
Success
Replaced with android 10's AP file and flashed with Odin. Now my phone has rooted with Magisk manager.
Any suggestions to tweak android

Have you ever got the answer or figured it out? I've got the same model and I cannot find anything on the net to help me with rooting this phone.
