The Samsung Galaxy A7 smartphone runs on Android out of the box, but that version of Android that you get isn’t going to allow for any developing unless you get root access to the lower levels of the system. The person who is in control of the root user account is the person who gets to choose what is installed and uninstalled. Moreover, it gives the chance to install apps that were not available to be installed before. Many of those apps are powerful ones that can do extraordinary things like allow you to change the appearance, features, create a longer lasting battery, clock the CPU frequency differently for modifying the performance and so forth.

REQUIREMENTS

• You must have the Samsung Galaxy A7 smartphone that comes with the SM-A700FD model number to use this guide. Any other model number gets bricked when you use this guide.

He does not suggest you need pot be running the same when you follow this guide and flash the rooting file. He gives it so you can use it as an indicator.
• You need to have the Developer Options menu unlocked on the Samsung Galaxy A7 smartphone so you can enter it and then turn on the USB Debugging Mode which then allows you to make the necessary changes to the Android software for the rooting of the operating system to work.
• Install the Samsung USB Drivers on the computer before getting started with the guide so that Odin is then able to detect your smartphone after you connect it to the computer with the USB cable.
