So you found out about rooting Android and wondered if you could pull it off without getting your device into trouble. The answer is a resounding yes if you are using anything as well adjusted as Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root tool—a one-click rooting tool predominantly made for Samsung devices. Rooting Android with the CF-Auto-Root is safe and quick and makes you in control of the root user account—the same account that everybody wants to get to know because it holds the power of being ale to install and uninstall anything you like.

REQUIREMENTS

• You need to have the Samsung Galaxy J7 smartphone that is given the SM-J700H model number to use the CF-Auto-Root tool file that is available in this guide. You can get away with flashing custom recovery images on the wrong device, and they just won’t work, but you don’t get that luxury with the CF-Auto-Root files. If you flash the wrong one here, you brick your device and will need to flash another stock ROM probably from Sam Mobile to get you unbricked.
• You need a computer that is running on a version of the Windows operating system to use this guide. The Odin flashing tool in this guide is made to work on a Windows operating system and not any of the others.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Chainfire was running on the MMB29K.J700HXWU2BPH1 firmware build number when he developed the version of the CF-Auto-Root tool found in this guide for the Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J700H smartphone. You don’t need to be running on the same firmware build number that he was running. He just gives that information to you so you can use it as an indicator if need be sometime in the future.
• You need to have the Developer Options menu unlocked and the USB Debugging Mode enabled before connecting to the computer so the Android software allows for you to make changes to it or else the rooting will not work.
• Install the Samsung USB Drivers on your Windows computer if you don’t have them installed already because those drivers are going to be what allows your smartphone to connect to the computer and get detected by the flashing tool when you open it up.
