Open root explorer go to product edit build.prop change the model to SM-G9880 this will pass safety net and fix the error on galaxy store.
I uploaded the fix with new ROM, everything should be working.
Removed V2.2 includes bixby
Awesome thanks. The build prop edit worked perfectly.

One more question. My device is the 988W Canadian version. My carrier is Telus. I'm also having an issue with chat not showing up in Samsung messages. Not sure if this would have something to do with my csc now at XAA/XAA/XAC rather then the Telus CSC?

It might be because CSC XAA usually doesn't include much for some reason, I have been using this for over week without any issues.
Can you get me your Home CSC file, I can edit it and add files to this rom, so it should work well with W also once all the CSC imported.

If you don't mind telling me, what process is the one required so that the phone recognizes SIMS from other companies? Flashing? Sorry for the amateur question.
I have no idea. There isn't anything to flash. No roms, no kernels, no recoveries no nothing. There appears to be zero interest in this variant by the dev community.

Thanks for the information fellas. So basically we have to wait until someone with the knowledge can extract those files (Roms, kernels, recoveries).
By some of the comments i've seen here, i get the impression that only the high-end phones are the ones that the community gets behind? How unfortunate if true.
By the way i saw in a different post someone uploaded a Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/rom-download-sm-s920l-straight-talk-usa-t3265004/page2
Yes, and that ROM will turn your Grand Prime into a Core Prime (Franken Prime) with lots of things not working. There are no stock roms available for this variant.

**does not yet work for 7.1.1**
Using a PC to root seems like moving backwards compaired to a 'one click' apk. but we're already at the PC to flash eng_boot, plus this new method is so much faster...so here we go
Features:
SuperSU 2.82
Init.d
Wifi fix
Flashlight fix
Issues:
For the wifi fix I just copied an edited J320a build.prop
So J320AZ users will see J320A in about device, and will have to reassign notification sounds. (Hope to fix it in the future)
Needed Files:
Odin
Root_J320A.zip
Procedure:
1. Unzip both files.
2. Run Odin click the 'AP' button.
3. Navigate to Root_J320A/bin and select sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar and press "Start" (make sure NOT to check re-partition)
4. After it completes sucessfully, leave the phone hooked to the pc... and then wait, wait a good 2 or 3 minutes after its booted.
5. Once 2 or 3 minutes has gone by you can navigate to the Root_J320A folder.
6. There you'll see root.bat, double click that let it do its thing.
6a. If at any time during the script you see "adb out of date. killing..." hit the x to close the window and restart the script.
*This may work on J320AG models but make sure you check oem unlock from dev settings first... and let us know how it goes
Enjoy

I suggest you put 'root' in the tile, otherwise google cannot find it.
I googled 'j320a root', google only links to ashyx's post which doesn't... well maybe only mine phone.
I am new to this root bit.
Possibly I have done something wrong. I read your instructions carefully and quit didn't understand where the unzipped files should go. Do any of these have to be placed in the phone's directory?
Failed on my AT&T SM-J320A
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new update pushed out recently
@JeffF73
Run Odin and Click ap.
Navigate to the directory where you unzipped root_j320a.zip.
In that folder you'll see a bin folder, inside that is sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar, which needs flashed to the phone.
Once that's complete, let it boot and wait.
Then run root.bat

Hello DamienMc Thank you for your reply and help. I figured it out. I had to put my phone in "Download Mode" by holding down Volume Down, Home Button and Power button while booting. Then I was able to use Odin without failing. This solved all my problems thank you

Yes, that has selinux set to permissive as well, although there's no real difference. The build.prop differences are noticable tho...I plan on doing an update to this, just have to figure out how to tell if it's A or AZ from adb

Yes, it works for QC1. However, you may need to replace build.prop in /bin from QC1 with WiFi fix before root.
I did notice that after root, the contents of /Android/data folders in both internal storage and external sd card are hidden from PC. Before root, both are visible from PC. Any thoughts about what cause the changes?
Will this work on July security patch?

Reflash CSC as well, that'll wipe your device but fix your problem.
Are you sure you waited long enough after the phone booted before rooting?
If at any time during the script you see it say "adb server out of date. Killing..." something is wrong. You can x the command prompt and do root.bat again.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/how-to/root-samsung-sm-j320a-galaxy-express-t3573628
Well my wifi wouldnt save any passwords , flashlight was broken and my ATT J320A would always want to boot in to recovery mode. I thought i was screwed!!!! Then i seen one link in the thread to this thread where Kingroot was not needed.
I opened Odin and gave a shot and then ran Root.bat file, and the device rebooted wifi and flashlight were fixed and best of all my J3 was now rooted!!!!!
Still working on getting rid of that annoying pop up but all is good, thanks so much for this root and fix from the other thread.

@james2ya If you are talking about the pop that either says something in the order of "Unathorized activities where made" go to the play store, download and install SecurityLogAgent Fix, Open it up and click "Disable Securitylogagent" then restart phone when it asks. This should help get rid of that popup.
works great for me! now i just need a custom rom. is it possible to install trwp on j320a?
Based on the info provided by @ACalcutt here ...
Which is further based on the LG G4 Hotspot app offered by @geoff5093 here ...
I present View attachment VS995_VerizonHotspotUnlocker.zip
This is a flashable ZIP file that performs the exact same operations listed in @ACalcutt's post above. No messing around with copying files or setting permissions, simply flash and boot and go!
Modifications from @ACalcutt instructions:
- Name of APK is simply HotspotProvision.apk as the original is named, not HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk.
- README file is placed in the /system/app/HotspotProvision directory to notify that modifications have been made.
Enjoy!
NOTES
- This should probably be used only on Verizon VS995 *stock* ROMs
- This was only tested on VS995 13A firmware
- Works with other carriers (MVNOs, etc., not just Verizon).
- ROOT *is required* (...at least AFIAK...feel free to test without, but I don't think it will work).

Click to expand...

I can try...but as I don't have an H910 I'm not sure how well it will work without extensive testing from someone else.
I found this post here which describes a method to do it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/att-v20-enable-hotspot-unlimited-data-t3524784
Have you tried this method? Does it work?
Are you just looking for a way to flash these settings without having to resort to the manual editing shown there?
Assuming that method works, and assuming that sed is installed on these devices (or I can somehow include it in the installer) I should be able to do it.
If you are just looking for a one time fix I'd recommend following the link above, but if you really need a repeatable way let me know and I'll see what I can do.
I have tried that method and it works.
I wanted to have it through an automatic process. There are many people who tries to root V20 everyday and need that easy way.
I also need it for repeated times because I do test different roms on V20 (it is a test device for me). So if you can make an zip to do that process all automatically that be really awesome and will save a lot of time of others people. Also I will be able to include in my root guide to directly flash while rooting an H910

Ok, let's start with this little shell script:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
#
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
/system/bin/sed -i 's/name="tether_entitlement_check_state" value="5"/name="tether_entitlement_check_state" value="0"/' /data/system/users/0/settings_system.xml
Basically all this does is issues that "settings" command that the link says needs to be set.
Then, it searches for the tether_entitlement_check_state within the settings_system.xml file and changes it from 5 to 0.
Go ahead and run these commands from a terminal emulator on your device and see if they work.
Make sure your device is clean...as in you haven't made these mods already. You can revert to a non-working config by putting the 0 back to a 5 and issuing the following:
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 1
I'm also attaching a shell script you can copy over. You will have to set +x perms on the script to run it.
If this script does what we want it will them be trivial for me to pack it into a flashable zip for you.

The script didn't worked as expected. As I was using SuperV20 rom, the tether entitlement check line wasn't in expected file.
After writing command in adb shell (then su) my internal storage was locked (un-writeable). I had to reflash whole superv20 rom from beginning and then manually adding the missing lines in mentioned file. Then it worked like charm.
Can you add a condition in zip about if the line is missing it should be added.

I'll need you to send me some full copies of the settings_system.xml file - preferably from more than one ROM so I can see the full structure.
Also, I'm concerned by your description re: "internal storage was locked." I don't see how anything I provided you would cause your external storage to be locked. I certainly don't want to distribute anything that is going to cause someone to have to reflash their entire ROM.
Will this work for LG V20 with the Verizon VS99520c Oreo?
Will this work for LG V20 with the Verizon VS99520c Oreo patch 10/1/18 as shown in the attached picture?
Also, what's the easiest way to root?
Please help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time and response.

Based on the info provided by @ACalcutt here ...
Which is further based on the LG G4 Hotspot app offered by @geoff5093 here ...
I present View attachment 4508476
This is a flashable ZIP file that performs the exact same operations listed in @ACalcutt's post above. No messing around with copying files or setting permissions, simply flash and boot and go!
Modifications from @ACalcutt instructions:
- Name of APK is simply HotspotProvision.apk as the original is named, not HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk.
- README file is placed in the /system/app/HotspotProvision directory to notify that modifications have been made.
Enjoy!
NOTES
- This should probably be used only on Verizon VS995 *stock* ROMs
- This was only tested on VS995 13A firmware
- Works with other carriers (MVNOs, etc., not just Verizon).
- ROOT *is required* (...at least AFIAK...feel free to test without, but I don't think it will work).

Hotspot fix doesn't work with Alpha Omega Oreo

Guys, this was simply a flashable zip that performed the steps outline from the links in the OP.
If the steps don't work anymore on Oreo, etc, then the zip won't work.
If someone wants to find out what the steps required on Oreo are, I can attempt another zip.
Otherwise, this has only been validated on the build listed in the OP.
Just wanted to say this still works on stock Oreo 20c. Thanks for the zip.

Did you do any additional steps, and are you using a Verizon sim card? I happen to be using a straight talk sim card which still using the same verizon apn values but my hotspot just suddenly stopped working one day giving me the notification "Connected - no internet" on the devices I wanted to use it with. I've tried stock, lineage, resurrection, alpha omega, and always the same dissapointment.

I flashed /system and /boot from a VS995 kdz onto my US996 to see if I could get video calling and and visual voicemail working. Yes, I am on Verizon... So maybe it only worked because most of my firmware is really mostly US996. I'll have to look when I have time, but I think we can do all sorts of crossflashing now with our V20s. Maybe you can flash an entire US996 kdz, then flash /system and /boot from a VS995 kdz.

Did you get this to work on a rooted stock Oreo 20c vs995? If so, could you describe how you got root on 20c?
I've been trying for the past weekend on my vs995 with a verizon sim card and haven't been able to get the hotspot function to work even with root on 20b. hotspot.apk is in the right place with the proper permission, but nothing happens when I push the slider to turn on the hotspot.
I was able to get the netshare+ app to work on the rooted 20b, but it uses an android generated random password which changes every time it is run. And it does not work without root on 20b or 20c.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, I've been away for work. It sounds like you may be misunderstanding some things or I am misunderstanding you...
First, I don't have a true VS995, I have a US996 that had I crossflashed to VS995 to test some things. I rooted with Magisk.
Second, why are you putting an .apk anywhere and checking permissions? This is meant to be flashed via TWRP. Did you do that? I didn't do anything special. I just did what the OP said: flashed in TWRP, rebooted and hotspot worked.
It's partially working for me in every 20c, either real stock or based on stock on a true vs995. Bluetooth and USB tether are working. Mobile hotspot is not. However there is no error, or directing me to pay Verizon--the slider does nothing. It seems like there is something small here I need to find, but I don't know where to look. Might anyone be able to direct me to the proper log file to investigate?

Try using the mobile hotspot icon in the top level swipedown menu. I was able to enable my hotspot that way though the slider does not work. This is on the 20b firmware with root.
I have the modified 20c firmware if anyone wants it. A friend found it on baidu and sent it to me. I haven't tried it yet though as the 20b version is working well for me so far. If there is a place to post it, let me now and I'll upload it. It's about 3 GB.

Jio phone supports hotspot.
I found hostapd,dnsmasq binaries on system partition.
But,we can't execute them without modifying system partition.
If you modify system partition you don't get any OTA UPDATE

This will only work in F90M, if you try direct unlock on any other phone, the sim slot will never work.

it would be fine if we dont receive any update just guide us through executing the binaries.. also can we configure the sim unlock from the system.img file.

JBStore has an app called JGHotspot for Jiophone users. Check out HackTorials channel.
Also, sim lock is only possible in 2430N and f90m.

I have an idea how to do it, but I have only little programming knowledge.
Here is very basic sequence you can follow:
1.put the phone in recovery mode, connect phone to PC and mount system rw using adb remont command. you can push all files to system partition via adb.
2.make a script for hotspot (which includes hostapd & dnsmasq binary execution) and place it in system/bin/ folder with permissions 775 (I will try to get it).
3.we need UI to get input from user such as SSID & password. Tweaking settings app or making entire new app will do this. This app should be able to write data to hostapd configuration file and execute hotspot script. Place the app in system/app/ folder.
PROBLEM: since jio phone has ultimate buggy software it poses a problem if we modify system partition, whenever an OTA update comes it will automatically download and try to install it. Since we have modified system partition update will fail and phone will reboot. But software don't remember this and again it will automatically download and try to install. phone fall into a update-boot loop.
To mitigate it,we need to redirect system update URL to local address.

(I posted this on the Android Mods Thread on accedent)I have a LG Nexus 5 HammerHead and tried to flash the newest Kali NetHunter using TWRP 3.5.2. After I flashed the ROM successfully, I have notice that the phone itself says no wifi networks found when swipe down to look at the wifi connections. I go to the wifi settings it says "Searching for wifi networks" with a spinning wheel of death(the loading icon). I've tried configuring it to use 2.4 Mhrz and didn't work, set it up to where it would only find good connections and still didn't work, I even did a factory reset and actually made it worse. I even reflashed it and see if that fixed it, nope. I connected it to the internet using a Ethernet adapter that is made for phones using a micro USB connection, updated the apps, updated and upgraded Kali NetHunter itself in the terminal and wifi connections is still not finding any connections at all. Could It be that Kali NetHunter doesn't support the internal wifi card that is built into my phone, could it be that twrp is having some errors on their end, or is it a bug that Offensive Security is not aware about? Please Help?
This may happen cos of wi-fi firmware. These files are called fw_bcmdhd.bin and fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin. There are two versions of firmware:
1. https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...c531cd30abd21d93c5a04/bcmdhd/firmware/bcm4339
2. https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...5f8949fe77780d922c973/bcmdhd/firmware/bcm4339
You need to find where these files are stored in your rom, replace them with files from version 1 or version 2, restore permissions for these files if necessary and reboot your phone.

Honestly, I have been trying to find these files and can't seem to find them. I even put the file name on the search bar of my windows 10 and it can't find them either. I think its just missing firmware on Offensive Security's end in this situation. I've had a troublesome experience with their kali linux products such as kali linux itself on having missing firmware after installation. Thank you for helping me out and hopefully these files should do the trick after I re-flash NetHunter with the firmware you have provided. As a matter of fact would the files belong in the firmware folder?

You will not find them in the search bar of your windows)
And no, firmware is not missed. Without wi-fi firmware you will be unable to enable Wi-Fi at all. In your case Wi-Fi can be enabled but you didn't see any networks.
Also /firmware - is incorrect place. It is a mount point of the /modem partition.
Wi-Fi firmware can be located at /system/firmware or /system/vendor/firmware/. Try to find them in TWRP. Boot into TWRP, mount System partition, open File Manager and review all the paths i've listed here. But i can't be sure cos i've never used Kali NetHunter.

Ok, I've been to those locations and in the system's folder, no firmware folder. However, in the sys folder, there is and does not show any firmware files in TWRP.
Give me the links to ROM files u flashed
This came directly from kali.org.
What was your base ROM before installing Kali? Stock Android 6.0.1?
yes
Well, Wi-Fi firmware in stock android 6.0.1 is located at /system/vendor/firmware/ folder. I've looked in the kali installer script and didn't find any scripts which can modify or delete this firmware. So we can try to install different firmwares into stock folders. I've attached 2 flashable zips for you. Try the -DHD version first. Flash it in TWRP and reboot your phone. If it doesn't help, then try -STOCK version.
It this will not help then i'm out of options

I use the Re4son Kernel and can set wlan0 to monitor mode. But airodump is blind then.

These are the complete Nexmon files seperately arranged.
Either you use a proper file manager with root permission, or just use the TWRP fiile manager and insert/copy them into the according sections.Maybe set the correct permission, while you're there and of course know your stuff. :>

Hi Mate, Sorry for the delayed reply. Now i can afford nexus 5. Faced same issue as you. Thanks @z3DD3r for the hint.
Follow below instruction If you want wifi.
*Boot to Twrp
*locate /advanced/filemanager/vendor/firmware
You are there
(Note: 100% you can't see the files as discussed in above thread. But those are hidden(while installing nexmon from nethunter store i have seen those already exists in same folder))
*At bottom you see permisson blue box
*Click the same-select chmod 755-swipe to confirm
Now reboot to system. Here you go.
