2. In the next step, you need to enable the following from the settings menu;
- Developer options (if not enabled already please tap on the "build number" 7 times under "About device" from settings menu)
- USB debugging mode (from developer options)
- OEM unlock (also from developer options)
Click on "OEM unlocking" and you will get a popup warning as shown below, now tap to enable.
However the detailed steps to enable both the USB debugging and OEM unlocking on Galaxy Smartphones are given below, methods are almost same on Nougat firmware.
3. After "OEM Unlock" is enabled, please switch off your Galaxy J7 and enter it into the "Download mode". To enter into "Download Mode" please press and hold the "Power"+"Vol Down"+"Home" buttons until you get a warning screen. Once you get the warning screen please release all the buttons and press "Vol Up" button to enter into the "Download mode".
Kindly check the below "Download mode" tutorial for Marshmallow firmware whch is similar to Nougat.
4. Now you need to run the "Odin.exe" (from the extracted files) file with admin privileges and have to connect your Galaxy J7 2017 using the USB data cable to your PC. The connection can be confirmed by an "Added" message in the "Odin" application. If you didn't get an "Added" message please reinstall the Samsung USB drivers for your device and try again.
5. In the last step please click the "AP" button in the Odin app, then you need to select the "tar.md5" root file which you have already downloaded and extracted to your computer. Now click"Start" button in the Odin app to start the rooting. Your device may reboot during the course. And once booted up you are good to go, a confirmation from the "Odin" app will give you a "Pass" message.
If you are thrown into an endless android bootloop after rooting please resolve it by following the below given tutorial. Don't worry because boot loop is a glitch in android firmware which can be resolved easily.
