The Samsung Galaxy E7 smartphone can be rooted with Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root tool. You should find most model numbers have a working root method available from the CF-Auto-Root repository. Some of those model numbers have been updated for the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop software update that rolled out not too long ago while others are still for Android 4.4.4 KitKat. The E7 smartphone ending in the E700Y model number is one of those devices which has been updated to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and subsequently has a new rooting method available for that same Android 5.1.1 update.

REQUIREMENTS

• You can be running on any firmware build ID when you follow this guide. Chainfire gives a firmware build ID from his repository page, but that doesn’t mean you need to be running that same build number on your device before you use this guide. He just says you should use that information as an indicator because some Samsung devices do not boot old images.
• You need a Windows computer to follow this guide. Only version of Windows such as Windows XP might have trouble with the Odin flashing tool version that is found after you extract the rooting file. Anyone not finding Odin working on older operating systems can download older versions of Odin and try those instead. You should find the CF-Auto-Root tool is fine to flash

BEFORE WEB BEGIN

• Unlock the Developer Options menu on the Samsung Galaxy E7 smartphone by tapping on the Apps icon > Settings icon > About Device > tap on the Build Number continually until it says that you are about to unlock the Developer Options menu or use the device as a developer.
• Head to the Developer Options menu you just finished unlocking by tapping on the Apps icon > Settings icon > Developer Options and then check the box for enabling the USB Debugging Mode. Leave the Developer Options menu and go back to your home screen and it will have remembered your preferences.
