Preface: I'm currently using this device and really like it, and as you all may have realised, that this device is considered as a low activity device on XDA, and know developers I know of have taken a crack at this phone. This is where I come in, I like hacking into stuff for the challenge it presents, and I have set myself the challenge that is this device. This is a continuous learning experience for me and all, so I am by far not considered an expert.
If some area are empty, they will have more content in the future as we progress with this awesome device.
Feel free to post any mods that have worked (preferably in systemless mode)
Table of Contents:
Post 1) Root and TWRP
Post 2) Mods (Mostly Systemless versions)
Post 3) Roms
Post 4) --Reserved for future use--
Useful Links:
My Github (Matt07211) to keep with the GPL licences I will upload evrything onto my github (Also its a shameless plug ;) )
My Github Pages Blog for guide on how I manually applied systemless update to boot.img (To be linked)
Samsung Kernel Source Code [4.4.4/5.1.1] and 6.0.1
Firmware Samsung xCover 3 and Samsung xCover 3 Value Edition
TWRP
SuperSU
Prerequisites:
ADB Installed
USB Debugging Enabled
Samsung USB Drivers Installed
Samsung ODIN

Disclaimer:
Anything you do with your own phone is done at your own risk. Don't complain if accidentally brick your phone, use google, flash back stock firmware or post on XDA for help.
Knox will probably be voided, and so will your warranty.
We cannot say what works for use may work for you.
Good luck :)
Root:
KitKat:
1) Download the Newest TWRP from the above links, making sure you download the file with the .img.tar extension
2) Download the Newest SuperSu and place on the internal phone memory
3) Turn on USB Debugging
4) Turn phone off, boot into download mode (Power + Volume Down + Home) and then press Volume Up for use when greeted with a yellow warning.
5) Launch ODIN, and plug phone into Computer. You should see some text like this "ID:COM" in green
6) Click the AP button and Select the Downloaded TWRP file, make sure "re-partition" is unticked. Click Start
7) Once flashed, reboot into recovery and Flash SuperSu.zip
Congrats you got root on KitKat
Lollipop (Systemless Root) (EXPERIMENTAL, USE WITH CAUTION):
NOTE: This is currently in the experimental phase as I need users to test and verify that this works
1) Turn on USB Debugging and Download "xCover3-Lollipop-Root-Matt07211.zip" from here.
2) Turn phone off, boot into download mode (Power + Volume Down + Home) and then press Volume Up for use when greeted with a yellow warning.
5) Launch ODIN, and plug phone into Computer. You should see some text like this "ID:COM" in green
6) Click the AP button and Select the Downloaded ".tar.md5, make sure "re-partition" is unticked. Click Start
7) Once flashed, reboot the phone normally, making sure USB Debugging is turned on
8) Copy over "su.img", "Superuser.apk" and "xCover3-root.bat" (For Windows Users) or "xCover3-root.sh" (For Linux Users) into your ADB directory (E.g. android-sdk\platform-tools)
9) Open up a command prompt in the ADB Directory and type either "xCover-root.bat" for windows and for Linux run "xCover-root.sh"
10) Your Device should reboot, and you should have root. Now get an app and verify its existence
NOTE: This is EXPERIMENTAL so this might not work, or will take a few trys to get working, please post if this has worked for you.
Marshmallow:
*To Be looked into, please be patient
Un-root Lollipop and Marshmallow Devices:
1) Click un-root from SuperSu APP
2) Flash Stock Firmware or Stock boot.img (Will post a Link for stock boot.tar.md5 soon)
TWRP:
KitKat: Working
Lollipop: Not Working (I'm looking into it)
Marshmallow: Not Working (I'm looking into it)
Flash Stock Firmware:
1) Download the stock firmware from above links, making sure the version matches your phone
2) As with the other steps, boot into download mode and connect it to Odin, click the AP button and click on the stockfirmware. Then Click Start
3) Give it some time (Max 10mins) to boot and setup for the first time, if it doesn't after a long time, reflash the stockfirmware again.
