Notes / Warning!

  1. Use at your own risk, I’m not responsible for bricking your device.
  2. This is for Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532F, SM-G532M, SM-G532G models only! Using the incorrect file may brick your device.
  3. If your target device has a custom firmware flash counter, Rooting will trigger it. If you’re lucky, Triangle Away has support for your device and can be used to reset the counter.
  4. If you have a KNOX-enabled device, Rooting will trip the KNOX WARRANTY VOID status !
  5. If your device storage is encrypted, Rooting will wipe your data !
  6. If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device – with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically “OEM unlock” and wipe your data !
  7. Make sure to backup your important data before root it.

  1. For PASSWORD AFTER REBOOT I have updated the post loot at link on the bottom all about password after reboot when rooting.

    • That leads to a forum that does not really give a solution, just discussing the problem……

      It would be quite useful if you could make a guide on how to undo the changes and get back to the starting point.

      Thanks 🙂
