Below you will find my procedure to root the SM-G532F/G532G/SM-G532M Galaxy J2 GRAND PRIME PLUS/ Mediatek MT6737T.
This will root your device with SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742

This procedure may work for previous and future firmware releases or it may not, however it is intended for the firmware versions as posted below. If you encounter issues simply flash the stock boot image included with the download.
If an updated firmware becomes available my advice is to update with FLASHFIRE to maintain root.

STATUS: Tested working

DISCLAIMER: YOU FLASH THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE KNOX COUNTER WILL BE TRIPPED AND WILL POTENTIALLY VOID YOUR WARANTY. HAVING THE STOCK FIRMWARE TO HAND IS ALSO ADVISED

◘ 1. Download the respective files below:

For SM-G532F based on AQD1 firmware- root_and_boot_sm-g532f

◘ 2. Install the USB driver and ODIN to Windows.

◘ 3. Boot your device to DOWNLOAD mode then connect your USB cable.

◘ 4. Run ODIN and place either SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_sm-g532f_AQD1.tar or SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_sm-g532g_AQC4.tar or SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_sm-g532m_AQD2_3151 as is in the AP slot. Don’t change any options and hit START.

◘ 5. Wait for the device to flash and reboot.

◘ 6. Install the SuperSU apk from Play store and you should be rooted.

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IF YOU FIND MY WORK USEFUL. THANKS.

NOTE: Not always required, but if your device is using encryption it may be be necessary to format the /data partiton AFTER flashing the boot image for the device to boot.

I’m fully backing up and will proceed to test this root method.
I will be back in a few minutes

After installing SuperSU apk from the play store, I open it up (expecting to get something regarding updating binary) but instead I get a message: SuperSU Binary occupied
I’m guessing this means I am not rooted?

Are you using magisk or some other root application?

I also suggest to install V2.79 apk as the latest Supersu updates are having issues.

Aaaah, that was the issue. I downloaded SuperSU from the app store which was 2.82. Now that I downloaded 2.79 it opens and I do get the message to update binary. However, I get a pop up message saying that KNOX has been detected, if I should try to remove it. Wether I select «Never» or «Ok», I get an error saying that the instalation failed, that I should reboot and try again. No luck after a couple of reboots.

Also, this seems to have broken my IMEI. I got IMEI unknown

The problem is once the bad version has been installed it doesn’t automatically get removed by rolling back and the binary won’t update, but you should still have root.
All this has been documented in the supersu beta thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap. 6-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703/page165

To start afresh delete su.img from /data then just reboot or wipe the /data partition in recovery.

Regarding the IMEI issue. This is related to a kernel/firmware mismatch.

You should be running the AQD2 firmware.
Which firmware are you currently running?

OK what I mean is, regardless of whether the binary updates or not do you have root?
Do any root checkers or apps gain root privileges?

Unless you’ve disabled it then it is highly likely your device is encrypted. Encryption causes all sorts of issues with root.
It can be removed by wiping data in recovery but this will wipe everything on internal storage.

Data is the internal storage. It’s separate from the system partition where the OS resides. Wiping data basically makes your device factory fresh as it wipes all user apps, settings and media.
In stock recovery it’s labelled factory reset.
Every firmware has a recovery even the one you mentioned or your device just wouldn’t boot.

If root apps are reporting not rooted then there is an issue somewhere. Quite likely it’s encryption on the data partition that’s causing the issue.
To remove encryption it is required to wipe data in recovery after flashing the boot image.

If it still doesn’t work without encryption then I’m a little unsure of what the issue is as this procedure works just fine on Snapdragon and Exynos devices. It may be some kind of mediatek weirdness.

In any case I have an alternative method which should work, but involves an extra step.

At some point I will be looking at compiling twrp for this device, but I’d like to work out this root issue first.

ROOT J2 PRIME (SM-G532 F/M/G) SUPEREASY 5 steps

now i was looking for how to root my j2 prime because its what i use to login with my vpn then i use a proxy server on it to route all traffic connected to it while its in hotspot mode but it seems proxy servers have their limitations and so im forced to root so i can just hotspot the vpn directly with an app, but after searching i found 3 methods all using superSU which im not comfortable with anymore, all with many steps but in my experice since this phone has got nothing to lose i decided to experiment and boom it worked.

STEPS
1. BOOT PHONE IN DOWNLAOD MODE (power+vold-down+home)
2. FLASH TWRP in the AP OPTION in ODIN (untick auto reboot;very important) then after flash succeeds
3. Pull out battery and boot to recovery (power+vol-up+home)
4. FLASH MAGISK.zip from your SDCARD (Recovery wont be able to mount internal storage so make sure to put the MAGISK.zip in your SDCARD)
5. Reboot and Hello systemless root

credits to this thread where i was searching for root, includes link to 3 methods but mine is the shortest and easiest

I’m unable to start recovery mode. I pull out the battery and after pressing the keys the phone simply goes off. Also I’m unable to enter recovery mode anyway (after turning it off and not flashing anything). That’s it, I can’t enter stock recovery either.

I tried all button combinations and it just doesn’t enter recovery mode.

Never mind, it was probably a faulty button. Pressing with force did the trick. I however employed a bit different path (or perhaps I wrote it down more detailed), which come out more noob like, I’ll leave them here for anyone that might use them

Noob, baby steps to root the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532M:

1. Enable developer mode and selected OEM unlocking and USB debug, dunno if it’s needed but I did it because in all roots I have seen this is a must.

2. Put the Magisk zip onto a SD card (currently Magisk-v18.0) and put the SD card into the phone. Then I turned off the phone.

3. Turn on the phone into download mode (power+vold-down+home), connect the phone to the PC.

4. Open ODIN and FLASH TWRP file using the AP button (VERY IMPORTANT, uncheck the auto reboot in options, otherwise the recovery goes back to stock I think and the phone will boot into the regular OS, and you’ll have to flash TWRP again), wait a few seconds to the flash to finish (odin says PASS! in green).

6. FLASH MAGISK.zip from the microSD. When finished wipe Delvik/Cache.

7. Reboot the system. Open the Magisk app (you might have to wait a few seconds for it to appear among on the apps) then press yes when prompted to finish installation as many times (2 times I think). And done, you have your phone rooted.

For fast downloads go to updato.com

I had never encountered the «No command» screen before on recovery, that is why I thought there was no recovery lol. But I googled what to do and got to the interface I know and love.
But anyway.
Still not working.
Ok so here is what I did now.
Flashed stock AQA3 firmware again, wiped the /data partition.
Set up the phone, made sure OEM unlocking was on, turned the phone off, flashed «SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_sm-g532m_AQD2», as soon as it rebooted I went straight to recovery to wipe /data again.
Installed SuperSU 2.79, Flashfire and Root Checker without opening any apps.
Opened SuperSU, asked me to update binary, I chose not to and closed the app. Went to Root checker and did not detect root. Went to Flashfire and it did not detect root either.
Opened SuperSU once more to try to update binary. It starts the installing screen and after about 30 seconds it pops up saying that KNOX is detected, if I want to disable. If I chose «OK» it says it failed to remove KNOX and if I chose «Never» it says it failed and that I should reboot and try again.
Open up Flashfire and Root Checker and still no root.

My last attempt would be using AQD firmware but it’s downloading (44 min. left! )
I’ll give it another try once it finishes.
