If you don't want to wait you should be able to unzip the current version and add this it the update script(META-INF/com/google/Android)
symlink("/system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");
Then just compress the files back into a zip file and it should fix wifi.
Corrupt Zip File
Whenever I try to flash your ROM in Safestrap for my G-730A it always tells me I have a corrupt zip file and it is unable to flash it. I have tried to download it multiple times (the first time failed for the Mediafire link) and copy it back onto my SD card but to no avail. I have followed all the necessary steps to get this Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini somewhat custom ROM ready. I installed the busybox scripts, enabled safestrap, set the SELinux mode to permissive, installed Xposed and the libraries, now I just need to know how to flash a modded version of the Kitkat 4.4.2 stock ROM onto this device properly. Do you have another version that's more stable, or possibly even a link to an entirely different de-bloat ROM? Thanks!

My suggestion would just be to manually debloat the rom by just uninstalling all the useless system apps. The stock rom I made is very buggy and because you can't root on this rom you have to flash back to stock with Odin if something goes wrong. I can try and reupload to Google drive if that helps, but I am unable to test it because I bricked all 3 of my s3 mini's. I also ported another rom called tencent os but that has more bugs than this one so it's not worth using.

I will take you suggestion and just do the following on the stock ROM manually. I will heed your advice that the ROM you created just isn't ready for primetime, and I would honestly rather trade stability for convenience any day. You don't have to go to the trouble of re-uploading a new one to Google Drive if you don't want to. Speaking of Tencent OS, while I was doing research for this device on XDA that did come up in the search results. I thought nothing of it and I didn't even look at the author of it, but I'm pretty sure it was you Turnert. At this point I think I will just stick to the stock 4.4.2 image and stop looking for what isn't there.
UPDATE: I was able to get the number of system apps down to about 150. So far so good, initially there was some black screens and random apps opening after the preliminary uninstall. All seems to be fine after a soft reset though. I'm liking the performance and the added storage benefit without all that bloatware running in the background taking up room.

Honestly I might buy an s3 mini and see if I can improve this rom a bit considering it's been quite a while since I've done any work on this device. I would love to work on this device again and see if I could maybe get aosp or something running on it even if it's not very likely that aosp will ever run on it.
Hi guys! is this 4.4.2 because basically 4.4.4 was never released for this phone? thx.

I didn't think this warranted a development thread at this point, Mods may disagree and move it. Since a few people, myself included, need some TouchWiz features and want something closer to a stock rom than Jasmine but debloated, deodexed with the Verizon wifi tether provisioning disabled, I threw this together. I'll try to answer any questions and fix any issues that pop up but I cant make any promises due to work and other projects. If I do move forward with anything I may try to port the stock Verizon Note 4/5, but that's getting ahead of myself.
Now the usual warning about your warranty being voided (as if any Note 3s are under warranty and you didn't void it rooting/flashing recovery) and me not being responsible for you bricking your device because I was stoned when I packaged this.
Download the rom here.
So far the only changes to the stock OF1 are:
Deodexed
Moderatly debloated
Wifi tether provisioning disabled
Start up sound disabled
Rooted*
Busybox added*
*SuperSu and Busybox packages are installed during rom installation.
A list of debloated files can be found here.
Coming soon
Some files were left because they are too integrated into TouchWiz. I don't want people confused by orphaned menu items or get FCs. Some stuff I left because people I know use them. If you want anything back you'll have to get it yourself for now, sorry. I'm open to suggestions on stuff to keep and stuff to remove, but I'll want a good description of their functions before I remove anything. I'm funny about not deleting stuff I don't know what it does.
For those looking for Xposed, I'm using the latest Snapdragon requestConcurrentGC version from here.
Flashing instructions are pretty simple. Boot to TWRP, make a backup, wipe system/data/dalvik/cache, flash the rom and reboot system.
All thanks go to the Yemen rooters and @beaups and @ryanbg for liberating our devices.
thanks i tried it out and its working great! however one of the apps i like is S-Note and you debloated it :/ along with galaxy store. which i cannot find a download source for either, and its needed to reinstall s-note. anyway its a crucial app for the S-pen launcher and s-pen features.
if you could share the apks or upload a full but deodexed superSu/busybox version of this Rom it'd be a real winner.
also im not sure if its just me but i noticed the task manager is a little strange and is missing the ram clear button. ill take a screen shot and upload later

All of the stock apps are in the system.img files in the Stock Odin tar bundles (available from sammobile.com for instance)
The only trick to getting them out of there is that those (system.img) image files are "sparse" ext4 files. The Android development environment has a tool called "simg2img" which allows you to create an uncompressed image file, which can then be mounted as an ext4 filesytem (loopback mount), and you can browse through there and copy out anything you want.
All of this is more convenient to do in a Linux environment (get yourself VirtualBox and install Ubuntu), but there are workarounds using Windows too, and there are even tutorials here on XDA on how to do this both ways. (Use searches for "sparse image" or "simg2img")
An even easier way is to simply pull them out of TWRP backup files of your rooted-stock ROMs; those "system.ext4.win00x" are just tar files. Heck, you could probably even use 7-zip for that.
You do make backups, right?
Ask your devs to do things that are interesting for the dev and difficult for almost any anybody else to do; not the simple stuff like "go get me some freely available files".
as some people like the stock image, you should do a non-debloated version, like beans did for 4.4.2 NC2/4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627 Its just a minor thing, and i can add those apps back in.
How would i enable the startup sound that you disabled?
I'm running the deodexed version of NC4 (with an NC2 bootloader) that i linked above, and finally want to upgrade. I'm assuming that safestrap (which is currently installed) isn't compatible, so do have a link for a version of TWRP that is compatible?
also, can i upgrade from NC4 (with an NC2 bootloader) directly? or is there a step in between that i should do first?

Problems with data
I appreciate all of your hard work. I do have a question though. Every single 5.0 and newer rom I have tried I have problems getting my data to work reliably. I get 4G after reboot but as soon as I send/receive a SMS message it reverts to 3g until the next reboot. This was a clean install and I've also tried reinstalling sim, done factory reset, cleared all data, everything under the sun I can think of. Nobody else seems to have this problem. Any ideas? Other than that this is exactly what I'm looking for.
May I ask somebody create a .tar version to use with odin.
I has no custom recovery .
Tried peazip software to convert .zip to .tar but odin always hangs when i use file
Long time first boot. thoght i made a brick Thanks mate

I am also looking for advice. My Note 3 is in a similar position with NC2 and Baja ROM in the stock slot of safestrap.
This is a custom Rom I made for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE (SM-T285), which suits my tastes.
If you have suggestions, send me a PM.
UPDATE 09/07/2016
================
A newer version that runs "root" (sepolicy constrained) scripts can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-lte-2016-sm-t3455788
Use the above version instead if you want to experiment with features like apps 2 sdcard.
Modifications:
* Based on LMY47V.T285XXU0APCN
* Stock Boot and Recovery (Not much choice since the bootloader is locked)
* Removed Touchwiz launcher and redundant samsung apps (Hancom office, Kidzone), replaced with Trebuchet
* Enabled r/w to the external SD Card
Installation Instructions:
Odin or Heimdall Required.
--FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK--
1. Make sure to backup of your data and have a copy of your stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure your device is OEM unlocked. (Enable Developer settings and Enable the OEM unlock settings)
3. Extract ZIP file below and flash the tar.md5 file using ODIN, for details on this kindly look for instructions in the xda site.
4. For Heimdall you can use 7zip to extract the system.img from the tar.md5 and just flash the system.img itself.

You have to go to download mode and then use Odin to flash. Unfortunately this does not root the T285.

Hi,
Anyone tried Pokemon Go update 0.37 with this ROM? The update fails to start for me. It prompts device/os version is incompatible.
I reverted back to version 0.35 and it works fine.

Yeah the newest version checks for xposed and a bunch of other things. Actually a lot of people were pissed that they did this. You'd probably need to revert back to stock if you want to play. Only systemless root and xposed with magisk works for Pokemon go now.

Also if you want more details on what is going on search google for "pokemon go safetynet". Basically most custom roms and not just this device should fail the test.

Hello and thank you for your work with this device. Currently I am looking for a bypass for the factory reset protection on my sm t280. I have flashed the stock md5 file 3+ times attempting to do a complete data wipe and reset, and this doesnt remove the lock. Any ideas?

To FRP unlock you have to go to developer settings and switch oem unlock to false. The stock rom should have it unless you are using a carrier locked version that I a! not aware of.

FRP is specifically designed to prevent flashing if you can't login to the device. You won't be able to flash unless the person has turned off oem unlock beforehand. I am not aware of any method to bypass this on this device.
Also the T280 and T285 have slightly different hardware so using a different recovery image is not recommended. Also since both devices have a locked bootloader, I highly doubt you can even change the recoveries from stock as I would imagine samsung using different keys for both. At the worst case it still always possible to reflash them back to stock if you do want to try

And thank you so much for selling it. I don't speak enough Spanish to make the ordeal of getting one of the T285M's from so america worthwhile. I was planning on sticking with my T239M for awhile, then I saw your T285M on ebay.
I've dirty flashed jedld's T285 debloated rom, then dirty flashed his T285 tinker rom on top of that. Both onto my T285M. Working flawlessly. Wished he'd kept the mail app, but without touchwiz I guess that wasn't possible.
Something else they blocked in the kernel or with SElinux on the T285M is screen mirroring. Can only cast directly from apps.
Still I am happy overall. Now looking for a castrated version of daemonsu!

got another one - white color ...as a gift...God Bless - great device battery life is just incredible - nothing fancy but does its job...keeping this one (had it since early November) gave up on the 705m
Is this ROM compatible with Google Safetynet? I can't seem to log into Pokemon GO since I installed Tinker edition, so I'm thinking to switch to this one instead.
Haven't tried it but it should work.
Is the root part contained in boot.img or in system.img? In other words, when using Heimdall I should flash both system.img and boot.img, isn't it?
I'm getting bootloops with CM13, Omni and I don't know how I got Tinker working, I kind of remember flashing boot.img, then wiping, then flashing system.img, then wiping again.
EDIT: got this one working too by flashing boot.img (Heimdall complains it cannot receive confirmation msg) reboot into download again, then flashing system.img (this time heimdall does reboot the phone). however, pokemon go still wont connect due to google's safetynet compliance.
I'll try flashing recovery in case it is TWRP the one clashing with Safetynet.
PD: I didn't backup stock at the beggining of the process so I'm pretty much screwed with Pokemon until I can afford a new phone. But if someone has a stock ROM for T285MUBU0API2, please ping me.
EDIT2 Got pokemon working. I reinstalled TWRP (this ROM's recovery is the stock one, of course), then flashed unSU. It removed SuperSU binary and Google SafeNet got working again. I can't believe that, after so much hours I've put into finding the best custom ROM for this crappy phone, 95% of the time was spent in trying to get Pokemon GO running. I'm close to 40, FML.

*I attempted to update the prl, let me know how it works for you.*
INSTALATION GUIDE
FlashFire Method
This is the method I chose to use, it works very well but you must have root to run FlashFire!
1. Download the rom
2. Move rom to SD card (anywhere is fine)
3. Open FlashFire
4. Choose action "Backup" (I would personally do a backup through TWRP but it's up to you).
5. Add action "Wipe" and wipe all but your internal storage.
6. Add action "Flash Zip Update or OTA" and find the rom zip.
7. Make sure Everoot is disabled
8. Chose reboot to recovery and its up to you if you want to preserve recovery, I left this option ticked
9. Click the little lightning symbol in the bottom left corner Happy Flashing!
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR ACTIONS SET IN ORDER!!!! 1. BACKUP (optional) 2. WIPE 3. FLASH ZIP 4. REBOOT SYSTEM
Get TWRP for this device HERE - It's actually for SM-S820L (Straight Talk) but I CONFIRM that this works for our model.
TWRP Method
1. Download Rom
2. Place Rom on External SD
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Do a backup
5. Go back choose advanced wipe. I usually wipe everything except internal storage and my sdcard. Be sure to wipe dalvik, system, cache and data.
6. Once that is done go back and find the Install option. Select the G360P ROM you just downloaded and swipe to install.
7. Reboot to system!
It will take a little while on first boot. Just be patient! If it has been more than 5 minutes try flashing again. If it still doesnt work, come to the thread and ask for help.

INSTALATION GUIDE
FlashFire Method
This is the method I chose to use, it works very well but you must have root to run FlashFire!
1. Download the rom
2. Move rom to SD card (anywhere is fine)
3. Open FlashFire
4. Choose action "Backup" (I would personally do a backup through TWRP but it's up to you).
5. Add action "Wipe" and wipe all but your internal storage.
6. Add action "Flash Zip Update or OTA" and find the rom zip.
7. Make sure Everoot is disabled
8. Chose reboot to recovery and its up to you if you want to preserve recovery, I left this option ticked
9. Click the little lightning symbol in the bottom left corner Happy Flashing!
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR ACTIONS SET IN ORDER!!!! 1. BACKUP (optional) 2. WIPE 3. FLASH ZIP 4. REBOOT SYSTEM
Get TWRP for this device HERE - It's actually for SM-S820L (Straight Talk) but I CONFIRM that this works for our model.
TWRP Method
1. Download Rom
2. Place Rom on External SD
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Do a backup
5. Go back choose advanced wipe. I usually wipe everything except internal storage and my sdcard. Be sure to wipe dalvik, system, cache and data.
6. Once that is done go back and find the Install option. Select the G360P ROM you just downloaded and swipe to install.
7. Reboot to system!
It will take a little while on first boot. Just be patient! If it has been more than 5 minutes try flashing again. If it still doesnt work, come to the thread and ask for help.

Nice to actually see our prevail lte for boost mobile on an xda forum. Now I know where my rom actually comes from , paid dude on fiverr.com to root my phone and he came back with rom with same features. I am currently doing research to modify certain properties to speed up data intake and prevent throttling and restrictions. I am going to throw this rom onto my dummy/test prevail and decompile and edit certain system apps/proceasea , so whatever sucess I have will be shared here or via PM. Any mods you have done to improve performance or bypass restrictions I would love to know. Thanks again man , appreciate these steps towards freedom. PM me for mods I have made or if you want me to test something for this phone since I have two sm-g360p's.
Update im discontinuing all development of prevail, buying an LG Stylo 2 or S7 depending how deep pockets are. Ardwill thanks for initial rom. I got lost in sauce and made some mistakes , when and if i get dialout to work i will continue my workaround project. might of ben a Efs improper backup or lack thereof but You are in good hands with Ardwill. Always keep first TWRP backup even after benchmarked

Good luck putting the pj2 together in the same way, I remember I had to us goingl e Kingo desktop, but since you aren't to be doing it like that ..IE systemless root I assume , you could have a hard time. I did for some reason find modifying the pj2 ROM made it unstable, probably the root method but ya man Let me know when you do bro cuz I definitely did remember it having a better athstetic look when I had that Ron via the. Also if you find an upgraded version of TWRP (2.8.70) throw my way. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback. Here is PJ2. It is in Aroma installer. In my experience, flashing through TWRP freezes up. So use the Flashfire install method instead. I haven't tested this yet so please let me know what happens and what you think. Any questions, please feel free to ask, I will get back to you as soon as I can. As of now, I have no updated version of TWRP but I will continue to look in my free time.
For some reason cant get it to flaashfire twrp flash , either way no install brother, if you could pull off finding mms/phone fix or prl/profile update zip would be killer im on the old stock ziplignef deodexed rom still and i must of mest up a TWRP recovery cuz all i get is data,, next phonr def. Using log reports. idk if ye md5 dont match or i gotta download the ape2 first. Hopefully ge ape2 update allow install since it we kinda skipped that update which was between the apj2 amd aoh1.
Update gixed phone dialingout bug , was a problem with the radio being set to LTE/GSM , as we all know boost and sprint are CDMA so i turbed off ims registration , switched to LTE/CDMA/GSM. No option to leave off gsm
Then refreshed where it says refresh/update hit refresh , you should sé ur phone number, mine was missing. Ie. My problem. This done from radio ping testing screen, i used Radio Network Reset on playstore/aptoide. Shortcutmaster lite honorable mention. So no pob with your first AOH1 based rom.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to pull the pj2 version down. I bet if you took a stock boot.img it would work just fine but im kind of stuck right now, my pc crashed so I'm unable to do anything right now. You should grab the stock pj2 file and Odin it to your phone. Run all the system updates and such. Update prl and all that jazz. That's what I'm running right now. You'll have to re flash twrp, reroot. I'll keep you updated as soon as im able to do something. Thanks again

Hey no problem, ya I still have so much put into your first ROM that I probably won't get PJ2. Might back it up and install it then try to install it, so if it works to flash if you're already running pj2 so we can have root deodexed ROM then I'll pm you so that you can put it back up or I'll do so with you as credits obviously. But ya take it down for now because I flashed to stock aoh1 ,and my modded version and it didn't work. Also I appreciate it man, couldn't of got all this out of my core prime(aka Pre LTE) if it wasn't for your base ROM! GS Man !
Thank you so very very very much for this rom.. I've really been waiting for someone to do something with this device, and broke my J7 at Christmas, so I'm back on the doles again only to find someone finally made one.. HAH!! Namaste and Bona Fortuna with the PJ2.. I'll give that one a shot when it is out again and stable.. My phone already runs faster and even cooler..
Namaste...
Au.

Hey, @Doctur, how are you? I was wondering if you ever fixed your phone and if a firmware flash didn't fix it, because it includes the modem. If you haven't tried it, I made a modem zip that might help and you wouldn't have to flash a whole firmware.

I appreciate it but I own a different device and it's currently being worked on. Thanks tho.
I know that there is a recovery already but as I write this I'm building on Omni 4.4 a recovery from source code. I have the phone but it's for Qlink services.
Edit: it didn't work.
Not working
I tried flashing this via the Flashfire method. It didn't work, it reboots and gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
Dunno what I did wrong, if I missed a step, or maybe something else I did broke the flashing ability.
Hope someone can help.
Hey guys I was able to take the time slooooowly download Stock firmware for our Prevail. Practically no support to this phone at all, but I've been working to change that as best I can. I am learning the ropes of ROM building and I have been able to make use of ASSSAYED Kitchen v.110 (Now upgraded to v1.20).
For those of you who don't know:
Odin tutorial
**DO AN ADVANCED WIPE IN TWRP BEFORE FLASHING. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE EXTERNAL SD CARD**
Download Samsung USB Drivers (Go to this xda thread here).
Download Odin (Get it here) Extract to Desktop (Or wherever)
Download firmware to desktop (It's in .zip format and you can find it here). Extract .zip file to odin folder (again, or wherever). Extraction should yield G360PVPU2APJ2_G360PSPT2APJ2_G360PVPU2APJ2_HOME.tar
Right click Odin 3.10.6 and click on "run as administrator".
Click on AP and find the extracted ROM. Open it and it will take a minute to load in to Odin...Now make sure the 'Auto Reboot and F. reset time options are ticked and nothing else.
Make sure to be using a quality USB cord. Odin will recognize your phone being plugged in. It will say COM port number in the top left hand corner and added or removed will be in the log window. Once you are ready begin the flash press start.
Relax, It will take about 10 minutes to do it's thing. After the long agonizing initial boot process, you will be back to stock firmware PJ2 for SM-G360P
Hope it helps! So far there is no lollipop for our phone. Click here to check out all my uploads for this device. So far I have a TWRP port that actually works. (Must flash through Odin) an a Stock rooted deodexed busyboxed zipaligned rom of this firmware (Thanks to ASSAYYED Kitchen).
OLDER VERSIONS
OH1 Firmware
I flashed this back to my device in attempt to go stock but system status is still set to Custom just so everyone is aware. Not sure if it could be an error on my part.
just wanted to say thanks i have 2 of these phones 1 use for mp3 player/ play phone and the other my daughter has to use. ive tried a ton of twrps for this and everyone broke recovery. im dl ing the twrp and the rom you posted. ya there is no development on this phone at all. ive tried almost every rom i could to get it to lollipop with no luck. im going to try to get the theme store and the launcher swapped out with an updated version.. n5 s7 any is fine i just want to get it updated lol. ill play with it tonight and let you know how it goes. i appreciate the effort your putting in to this. i dont even have service to them i have a stubborn s7 that refuses to get rooted. i had no prob with the note7 but idk if i have some updated version of s7 but i cannot obtain full root. i need to have my audio mods at least. i have a good one with beats, dolby atomos and viper im going to try on the 360 as well. let me know if you would like the file. after i check if it works on this on that is.
Please stay tuned. Upgrading this thread to the most recent PJ2 firmware.
Thread updated to PJ2 firmware. I can confirm this will make your device status 'Official'.
Thank you!
I just wanted to say:
Thank you so much mate! An amazing job here, I had a broken rom on this device, and thanks to your PJ2 build; I now have a fully working device again!
Fixed the play store, play services, and all the ads and junk on this Textfree branded device (PE2 firmware confirmed). keep up the great work!
Thanks for posting this! I see your other files, would you mind going in more detail how to install the stock rooted deodexed version of this rom? How do you recommend unlocking the bootloader to install TWRP or can we just simply flash it with ODIN then install the stock rooted rom? Thanks!
EDIT: according to this forum looks like you just flash it. Do you recommend your 2.87 over the 3.02?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-teamwin-recovery-project-3-0-0-t3317381
EDIT 2: NVM found your other thread and looks like 2.87 is the way to go.

Awesome, thanks for keeping support alive for this phone!
I'd really like a custom rom for this phone i have to restart at least once a day or this ROM becomes unusably slow.. I mean atleast CM11
Hello. I'm Dave. I just got this phone (G360P Prevail LTE) and I'm pretty excited about it because it could sure use some stuff and I'm new to development and ROM porting. My goal is to bring great ROMs to the lower end phones that are sometimes forgotten in development. Right now I only have one good port under my belt, but it's a great one...PAC 5.1.1 for the ZTE Zmax Z970. Unfortunately, I used device and kernel trees that were already put together by another developer, so I'm not completely sure how to get started on putting trees together for this one. At least it's a Samsung, so mistakes will not be deadly, hopefully lol. There's a lot I don't know and this will be a hell of a learning experience. If anyone could fill me in on which devices that have some development going are most similar to this one, it would be a big help. I flashed the TWRP for the G360T1 before I found @adrwill2000's stuff since it has the same processor and specs and I'm sure you all know how that worked out...I guess I'll start by grabbing stuff for the device that our TWRP was ported from, unless you guys have any better suggestions. It would be best to start with trees from a very similar device. I almost hate to post this because it's very possible I will get nowhere, but I could sure use input from you guys that know this device well as to what my best starting point might be. Thank you.
I'm back to running H1 for now because it seems to be our latest that xposed is working on and imo this KitKat stuff sure needs some Gravitybox. Also, on mine, in J2, when I hit reboot it would reboot recovery. I was gonna fix it, but it's working in H1.
Scratch that...I found the Xposed updated for new 4.4s, so I'm on the deodexed, zipaligned j2 now. Thanks for all you've done with this, @adrwill2000...
It worked for me. My phone was bricked and I could not even get it to hard reset. Thank you!

Hey CACTUS
I am very happy to test it
but can I install One UI 2 Port or can not ??
and thanks very much for your hard work 🫡
I tried the J730F that Kostareka uploaded, and it actually worked! And it's hella SMOOTH! I'll test it for a week and see what's in store for me. I think I'll try the other One UI pie roms on the J7 thread and see if it works. Thank you @Kostareka for creating this patch.
wow, thanks for the hard work. I've tried and it works. I'll give it a try for some time. I still have this tablet for my kid, but messing around with it... I love it
Btw what do you think of trying with this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-v4-5-a600x-exynos7870-arm64-08-2021.4287221/
It's Android 10 with one ui 2.5, the most recent rom that I've found for a Exynos 7870 device. Will it brick?

Hmmm I don't know if thats going to work, Kostareka said flash One Ui PIE roms not 10. And even if it does work, I don't really recommend it, because in terms of battery and ram optimizations, android 9 is it's max for this tablet.
If you're going to try it make sure to change the installer on the ROM you just downloaded otherwise the ROM will detect your device as unsupported.

I'm not really an expert but
1.EXTRACT THE ROM
2.OPEN THE EXTRACTED ROM AND FIND META-INF, THEN OPEN IT
3.OPEN 'COM' FOLDER AND INSIDE THAT FOLDER IS THE GOOGLE FOLDER, OPEN IT AND YOU WILL FIND THE ANDROID FOLDER,
4. INSIDE THAT FOLDER, YOU WILL FIND THE UPDATOR SCRIPT. YOU CAN EDIT OR CHANGE IT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT USE THE UPDATOR SCRIPT FROM THE J730F THAT KOSTAREKA UPLOADED
5. IF YOU'RE TO EDIT IT, WATCH A YOUTUBE TOTURIAL ON HOW TO.
I never tried this before, but I'm going to try it
Back to the J730F Stock Rom, it has some trouble with wifi connections. It won't connect to a 5GHz wifi and it disconnects frequently from a 2.4GHz network.
It seems to be unable to receive a DHCP IP. I've tried with a static one, but it works with some errors from time to time...
