Is A320FL with android 8.0 rootable? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Just as title says, I understand how to do the guides but they are for android 7 while mine is 8.0.0. One guide is telling me to download android 7 and flash it, then flash TWRP. Another guide is about rooting with cf autoroot but is again for android nougat and i am not sure whether i can still root with it through odin. Anyone help?

Sorry, but the only thing I don't understand is why do I have to flash android 8.0 again? Do i have to flash the stock one or the same one im currently using?

I have a A320FL too since August, Updated to Oreo at first boot and rooted following that thread.
You just have to be quick after flashing TWRP the first time and reboot in Recovery, you need to do it fast whereas it boots on system and you'll have to flash TWRP again

But is this "lock" the guide talks about present in the a320fl because i don't know whether i should bother with the rmm unlock zip file? And what is "root zip" referring to in the guide you posted?

What is "root zip" supposed to be then? SuperSu or magisk?

You can do either one. I would probably do magisk, because it is systemless, but it is a bit more buggy. But you can get quite a few modules that work with it.

I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy A320FL with Oreo using the procedure linked below. I wrote it trying to refer to updated files and apps (december 2020), as the other guides available are rather old.
Note that I also managed to fix fingerprint feature and banking apps and to move whatsapp media folder to SD card.
Here is how I did:

I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy A320FL following more or less this guide (I know, it's a video and that's annoying, but it's also very clear. And there is a text version linked in description), with some modifications though. I will...

You shouldn't need root to change apn.
Settings> connections> mobile networks> access point names> click "add" upper right corner
Remember to click "save" when the apn is added then reboot.
You could try out systemless root. I've had no root related issues using Magisk, and haven't used traditional root since. For G928T, you first have to flash TWRP via Odin. Once the flashing finishes, the phone will reboot. As soon as the screen goes black, hold the volume up + home + power keys until the s6 logo appears. If you pressed on time then you should boot into your new recovery. You will get a warning talking about allowing modifications, you need to slide to allow. From there tap install and flash Magisk (I re-uploaded since v15 gave me boot issues and I couldn't find v14.) Then tap reboot, declining additional installs if prompted. If you can't find Magisk Manager in your apps, install it from here. More information on Magisk can be found on the official thread.

Yeah, I have that exact baseband on my edge+, magisk works no problem. They've updated magisk to 15.2 and I havent had any issues with that, so you can download it from the official thread. Just make sure to enable OEM unlock under developer options to allow for TWRP and Magisk installation. If you install anything without that step, you may be unable to boot because of FRP.

Hi, you can flash twrp using Odin. I used Odin 3.11 , loaded the tar image of twrp into AP. I unchecked auto reboot then flashed it. Disconnect your device, reboot by pressing power, vol down an home together for about 10 seconds.
Important: As soon as the screen goes off switch your finger from vol down to vol up while pressing the other two buttons. This will ensure recovery is booted. If you dont boot recovery it gets wiped. Once in twrp you can install supersu.zip.
You may have to rename /system/recovery-boot.p (not the exact name) to something else to prevent stock recovery being installed.
There is lots of info on this. Also it will increase your Knox counter.

CF Autoroot is for 5.0.2 so Lollipop not Marshmallow. Chainfire hasn't done one for 6.01 yet and afaik the method for Marshmallow is system-less. Can anyone confirm that it works on 6.01?

That's great! I was looking at the threads that say you have to flash TWRP then flash supersu.zip.
But to be sure about your thread as you may just be answering the OP request for TWRP, can I just use CFautoroot via Odin or do I need to first flash TWRP?

You do not need to flash twrp unless you want a custom recovery. You can just flash cf autoroot to achieve root.

You cannot unlock your device but you can install TWRP in FIsH as long as you are rooted.

You can unlock but it's a WIP atm

In theory yes for phh but this requires to rework FIsH.
Magisk requires changes in boot partition so 100% no.

Magisk way of rooting - how to get boot.img?

As some of you certainly know, Magisk manager has capability of rooting system.
The needed thing is kernel image, boot.img, very the same which seats in the device.
If the stock ROM was available to download then the kernel image would be possible to obtain by pulling it out from the ROM file (preferably zip).
So where to get the stock ROM file, please?

LGExtract.exe
Here is a link to the Q610TA10K firmware
I'm thinking about the LG tablet I had. No root for it so someone did the Magisk thing also. Tablet was easily unlocked allowing us to put the image in place.
For the Q7, once a boot image is modified how would you get it in place on a running ROM? Far as I know the device is still locked down.

LGextract.exe did not work for me. Even If the boot img could be modified, as @marcdw stated "how would you get it in place on a running ROM?"
Without unlocking the bootloader this is not possible.
Kingroot, kingoroot will not work on this device atm, I've tried every method possible that's why I gave up on root on this device.
Maybe some day it will but I doubt it.

I had this problem with my q7+ I bought in Brazil where I live, it did not have Norwegian language, and I'm Norwegian. So I had to use an app; custom locale. This app needs root, but I was able to give right permission using ADB, so now I have Norwegian language. (Or any language I want).

Sorry, not gonna kick a dead horse.
Even if the boot img could be modified with magisk, there still is no way to install to device without unlocked bootloader.
And have you refferred to this method ?
What do you think of these instructions:
https://www.techdroidtips.com/lg-q7-2018-unlock-bootloader/
especially this:
In conclusion, Android versions later than lollipop come with an option of OEM Unlock in the developer options. So, its quite easy to unlock the bootloader on any latest smartphone devices. And Still, some of the smartphones may not come with this option. Hence, in order to unlock the bootloader, you need to manually do it via PC.

Not on the list
However this list is extremely scarce. It seems something is wrong with it.
This is why wanted to try. The first obstacle is it is impossible to reboot into bootloader (which is needed to obtain device ID). When the command "adb reboot bootloader" is executed then the phone simply reboots into system again. (Attention: when "adb reboot recovery" is executed then it does Factory Reset!)
How to make it boot into bootloader? Is there any keys combination for it?

Because it's not recommended to relock if the phone isnt completely stock. On xiaomi devices you will even brick the phone!

You can't relock the bootloader if you have done any modifications, the device won't let you boot.
For now rooting is a must for the other camera, but there is a new version that comes out (hopefully) soon that enables other cameras without root or any other modifications.
