Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) SM-J7108 cannot root or install google play services!!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have recently bought a Samsung galaxy J7 2016 from China and I have had no success in installing google play services, play store or the google services framework on my Device. I have tried to root the device but it will not root. I have no idea. The device is running android Lollipop 5.1.1 official from samsung and the model number is SM-J7108. Please help. I know this is a very new phone but I really need to get play store on this phone asap as programs like kingoroot wont work and TWRP does not support the SM-J7108 just yet.

I still cant find a root for it, the Indian variant is a J710F while the Chinese variant is J7108 and has a 1080p screen and 3GB RAM. I am really struggling to find a file for this device and would appreciate it if anyone has a root file to send it over so I can get google services on the device!

China J7108 have lock the bootloader, inside the samsung market have app call 'CROM'. Install it. It can unlock the bootloader.
Good luck.

[Q] I cant root my spreadtrum samsung galaxy trend duos, please help

I bought a samsung galaxy trend duos but I realized it was fake. Its actually a SPREADTRUM device but it almost has the same features as the samsung galaxy trend. However, I realized it was 16 gigabyte of internal memory but I cant access it because its not rooted and has a very slow launcher. I know it can be rooted but I just don't know how to root it because I have tried various method and it didnt work. I need your help, please
Here are the details
Model number GT - S7562
Android version 4.1.9
Baseband version S7562ZCLI1
kernel version 3.0.8-1080019 [email protected]
Build number IMM761.S7562ZCALI1
Chinese Samsung GT-S7562

This is the exact phone I was shipped instead of what I thought I was ordering. No one from the website answers email now and I called Samsung since the site looks just like a Samsung site and they said not their site.
The App Baidu input v2.2 is on all the keyboards and has no uninstall option
SAMSUNG TREND DUO
Model GT-S7562
Android 4.1.9
Baseband version: S7562ZCLI1
Kernel version: 3.0.8-1080019 [email protected]#1
Build IMM761.S7562ZCALI1
It looks smells feels and came in a Samsung box with "GT-S7562 www samsung com/cn" on the bottom edge of the box.
I got a new battery and it charges and works fine (one shipped was DOA). My BB Rogers SIM fires it up and I can make a phone call no problem and my contact list is there.
WiFi works and Browser seems fine except for me the Baidu App walking over it with Chinese.
I found this thread googling the build number and it matches all my specs below. So it would seem to be a Samsung built by SPREADTRUM and is for the Chinese market flogged to west from a rather misleading website. It works fine expect the Baidu stuff walks over the keyboards with Chinese letters and the App store is all in Chinese.
The guts are slightly different then the GT S7562s on youtube and in the manual (no manual came with it) from the web. The SIM cards push in from the battery area rather then the side of the phone, into a white plastic retainer then the metal ones depicted in the videos. Other then that it seems to have all the other pieces the same.
When I stick it into a Windows XP box Windows is looking for SPREADTRUM USB drives. And Kies will not see it on WinXP, WIN7, and Mac OSX and the regular GT-S7562 USB drivers from Samsung do not work. I have enabled Developers Mode and enabled USB Tethering.
Android looks and feels like the real deal except for the Chinese that appears in the APPs that are locked from removal.

Screen size? Dude, the S6 has mostly absolutely debloated ROM. It's not about the phone, but about the update. The S5 still has some minor, but annoying bloatware. I hope the one for Alpha has only a few Samsung apps.

I can also confirm 5.0.2 is available for at&t (850a) variant. Can anyone confirm is also came with a locked bootloader?? If so, I assume root will still not be possible?

Android 11 Update for SM-T725 - S5e LTE - Firmware download

Hi guys.
DOWNLOAD LINK
MultCloud | Best Free Multiple Cloud Storage Manager
new.multcloud.com
This is the UK Version of the Android 11 ROM
Have successfully flashed to a my Australian one without issue and retained the unlocked bootloader
I paid a months subscription for SamMobile to get the new OneUI 3.1/Android 11 firmware - I'm running lineage 18.1 but I really miss the Atmos DSP, and HD Netflix, so am going back to stock.
It's a real pain getting Samsung firmware so as soon as it's finished downloading, I'll reupload somewhere, so anyone who wants/needs it can get it easily.

Only preference is please help us to keep XDA neat by not duplicating thread, this is against the rules. Thanks
Uploading now
Will see if I can't brick my device reverting to a stock, different region rom.... (I don't use the LTE functionality so I assume less potential issues)
Well, everything seems ok so far (it's nice being able to use the fingerprint scanner again!) and the bootloader remains unlocked
Got about 1GB left to upload
Updated OP with download link
Thanks mate, updating mine today
You can also download with Samsung Firmware Downloader. Github repo zacharee/SamloaderKotlin. It has a little more than Frija and is cross-platform Windows, Linux and Android. Has anyone heard or seen anything about T720 wi-fi version getting update ?

Debranding Samsung Galaxy s21 - android 11 - possible?

Hi
Is there any effective method for debranding Galaxy S21 with android 11?
I have CSC from Play (Polish operator) and I would like to upload XEO. I tried odin and samkey and despite the "positive" completion of the operation (both applications say so), the Play brand is still on the phone.
thanks

if your s21 phone has an unlocked exynos variant, you can download the indonesian version with XID csc using frija and clean install with odin, I tried it on the s20. (did i change csc for call record)

1. How can I check if I have "an unlocked exynos variant"?
2. I don't really care about call recording, but rather about removing operator branding. Is it possible?

Hi
If you have a G991B it should be possible to flash any (exynos) rom , even if the phone is carrier lock .
How did you do it ( the flashing), what files did you use , home_csc or csc?

Android 12 Update

Living in Germany I still didn't get the Android 12 update on my Tab S7+ wifi. Anyone else already got it?
I am downloading the update at this moment for the Tab S7 5G. I live in The Netherlands.
I live in Greece and I have downloaded the Android 12 update this morning.
So far so good, just only one annoying thing.
There is a green button that you can swipe it everywhere on the homescreen and it inverts the screen colours, but I can't find how to disable it.
If anyone updates his tablet and finds how to disable it, please share the solution with us.
Thanks.
homescreen link: https://ibb.co/y8DZCVJ
I am in the US with a S7+ Wifi. I used Frija and downloaded the South Korean Android 12 update. I used Odin and installed it without issue.
I have the T970, WiFi only version. I flashed the AP file from the T976B Android 12 update. It works great, but TWRP doesn't work with this version yet.
Just got the update this morning.

Your still rooted ?
Received it 2 days ago on my tab S7+ 5G...as I only have the tab since a couple of days I cannot really tell if its running better under Android 12. What I do know is that my file manager has limited access to some of the folders I get the message "to protect your privacy choose another folder". I keep an eye out as soon someone will have found a backdoor to bypass this annoying thing.

Nope, I had to re-root by modifying and reflashing the boot.img.lz4 from the Android 12 update's AP file.
Heads up, everyone! There is an official A12 update for the T970 out now!

I tried to flash the A12 AP on my US T970 and got a Hash error.
edit: I flashed AP and BL and it took.
Been skimming through messages but not finding a clear answer or haven't seen it asked... I have a SM-T878U (Tab S7 LTE/5G). Can I flash SM-T976B firmware on it? Normally I'd know not to however, they share the same chipset AFAIK but don't wanna factory reset my set up if it isn't going to even work.
Any ideas?
