M1AJQ.J10MNUBU4CRK2
No No hemos añadido ese TWRP. Me puse en contacto con el equipo de Dev con respecto a esto. Podemos actualizar pronto.
did not work on sm-j710f android 8.1
I flashed twrp 3.2 then the magisk and the rmm bpass. once done tried to boot the system but got a message saying “The integrity verification has failed”.
Had to flash rom again.
Did you flash Official TWRP 3.2 or Our modified TWRP? If you flash the official TWRP additional to the RMM Pass, you should flash no-verity-opt-encrypt also. Before installing anything, you should wipe cache data in TWRP.
I`m using official TWRP 3.2.1 When I flashed your modified TWRP, nothing happened and the official recovery of my phone boots up! So I used the official TWRP.
I wiped cache and installed magisk, rmm and no-verity-opt-encrypt. and my phone booted up. but just realized it`s not rooted.
Funciona en SM-C710F/DS ?
No. Your model is C7 2017.
Why not work on my sm-j710k?
Did you get the “Success” message in ODIN?
bro. my phone just immediatley go to android recovery
the twrp didnt for sm j710gn didnt work..after i flash and reboot it just start normally..i enter the recovery mode and didnt seem like the twrp is installed since it goes to normal recovery not twrp one.
You should Reboot to Recovery in the first Boot. ODIN Flash will give you Temporary TWRP; You should flash Magisk to manage and Stay with Root access. If you Boot to the normal OS, you may lose TWRP. Restart the process from the first step.
help me please…..
i am not able to open recovery after flashing the recovery file successfully from odin with pass message i tried to do it as fast as i and when i pressed volume up + power + home the phone vibrates it feels like it will gonna open twrp but it open no command screen and after showing that screen for few seconds it opens stock recovery and yeah i have tried it more than 10 times but everytime that’s how it goes so can anyone please help me
As we mentioned, you should boot into First boot into TWRP. Un-tick the Auto reboot in ODIN and flash TWRP again.
Hi, so when it does wipe cache partition the partition user data, it’s erased? I´m trying to recover data, so it’s important to me not to wipe the user partition. Is it still not working for the SM-J710MN with android 7.0 as you said two months ago? Thanks
Cache partition does not delete your personal data. It will help to avoid some bootloop issus after Magisk flash. It will work well with all above model numbers. Can you specify your Build nuber? You can fins this in Software version.
I followed your guide step by step, but after installing the TWRP using Odin and booting into recovery mode, it goes to the stock recovery mode and not the TWRP
Hi. The TWRP is not working on my device. I downloaded the TWRP file that you give for my model (And it is installed because in Odin everything is ok, it says PASS). I un-tick the auto reset option, so I turn off my device after the Odin twrp installation and then turn the device on within the recovery mode (without booting the device before, this is the first boot), and the TWRP is not showing up! It just launches the Regular android recovery. And I do not know what else can I do. As I said, Odin is ok; device is ok because I did not restart it, and I repeated this several times. Please, help me.
I was thinking if maybe there would be an option for installing Magisk without the TWRP would work. I don’t know if it would work with another custom recovery.
I wonder what the problem with your device is. But, If you consider Magisk. Yes, you can get root access using Magisk without TWRP. Download your firmware which should be same as your recent mobile version. Install Magisk app. Patch the Downloaded firmware files. Flash the patched firmware using ODIN.
Hope the following post can help you. Instead of s10 follow Instructions as per your device.

Dear Selva,
Thanks for writing this tutorial.
I tried to root my Samsung J710FN using Magisk without TWRP, following those steps on https://www.androidinfotech.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s10-plus-exynos-sm-g975f-pie/ but patching the Firmware J710FXXU6CSE1_J710FDBT6CSE1_J710FXXU6CSE1_HOME.tar.md5 for my device instead. Then I selected AP in Odin and added the magisk_patched.rar file, clicked on Start and it got stuck on sboot.bin.lz4
I have no idea why this happened. Would you please please help me?
You should Choose SM-J710FN Firmware. Don’t Patch the International “F” variant. Patch the firmware and flash it again. Your current Build Number and Patched Build number Should be same.
Thanks for replying soon. I deleted my Google Account, downloaded the firmware from another source, flashed it with Odin v3.13.3 and now I have a rooted debloated smartphone.
Million Thanks
Hi, bro how I can root my phone model SM-J710FQ android 8.1.0…I want to take root because I can’t open youtube Instagram. Whatsapp.
As per your problems, you don’t need root. Flash the firmware again. Or Repair using Samsung SmartSwitch.
I can flash magsik 18.1 insert of super su right ?
Yes. Right.
Hello, does a samsung j710GN with android version 8.1.0 works with this?
Yes, It will work up to Oreo version 8.1.0.

We updated the article with the official TWRP file. Now you can use the TWRP file for SM-J710FN Model number.
The procedure does not work with my J7 2016. I have tried many times, but the following wording appears:
“Verification failed
Unable to restart the device. The integrity check failed. You must restore the device’s factory default settings. This operation will result in the deletion of all data. ”
I had to reinstall the original firmware.
Is it possible to have the procedure for my phone?
Model: SM-J710FN
Android: 8.1.0
Build Number: M1AJQJ710FXXU6CSE1
I await your kind reply, thanks
Enable USB Debugging. Try with Latest ODIN version.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve already enabled USB Debugging and have used the latest version of Odin3_v3.13.1 or do I have to use ODIN-modified.zip or Odinv3.12 PrinceComsy.zip?
You should Select Latest ODIN. Don’t use modified ODIN. Your Model number is “FN.” Don’t try other firmware like “F” or “FQ.” This time Extract the Firmware. You will get Four Files. Launch Odin and Select all files separately, According to their names. After Selecting four files, Start the process.
Hi, can I use it without enabling USB? My Phone is blocked.
No. You should enable USB Debugging. Without allow this, We can’t flash Root files.
There is no PDA on Odin, so I chose AP. After I press start:
SetupConnection..
And that’s all. Can’t continue the process.
Did you get the “Added” message in ODIN? Check ODIN can recognize your device.
my odin pc said it already finish. but my phone still stuck at odin mode. what to do
Press Volume Down+ Power to exit download mode and Press Volume Up+ Power to Boot into Recovery mode.
twrp for j710gn didn’t work. I follow all the steps. Still not work.
Can you mention your mobile Build Number? Did you get a “PASS” message in ODIN?
I get that pass in odin.. but when I try to boot into twrp it says no command
my build is
