Root/TWRP for SM-G1650/Galaxy Folder 2

Kgr

I'm trying to root my galaxy folder 2 but I cant seem to find the right TRWP version for my phone, any help? (I saw the xda forum but it disables touch in the end)

Kgr What do you mean it disables touch? explain.

Kgr Interesting- I had the same problem! 😉

Biden2020prez Im not sure exactly how they ended up rooting it as it wasn't standard odin flash with twrp, but in the end they said that they successfully rooted it but the touchscreen stopped working. So i came here to see if any of you know a twrp build for the sm-g1650, or a way to root it.

3474336863 Oh nice!

Just a not about Kingo Root: It seems to come bundled with malware. Also, I've heard cases of the phone failing to root, but somehow the kingo root app was stuck in the system partition forever.

Biden2020prez Do you suggest i try it?

Biden2020prez

Kgr Not sure. I probably wouldn't on my personal phone.

Kgr

cowculator Did you end up getting a TWRP app, if so which one?

Kgr

Biden2020prez Ok so basically there isn't anything you suggest i can do.

Biden2020prez

Kgr I don't know enough about the phone. And Samsung phones are different from other Android phone's, so I am not really sure.

Kgr

Biden2020prez I got it rooted with magisk pretty easily once i knew what to do

Kgr nice
