Most people with the Samsung Galaxy A7 smartphones are wanting to use them with maximum privileges so they can be the ones in control of choosing what goes on the device and what is deleted. By default, nobody has the option to do those things, and the operating system comes locked which is a different kind of locked in comparison to the locked people know regarding the SIM card. Simply put, the root user can install thousands of more apps, and they can uninstall any of the apps that are already on the device too. Moreover, developers cannot do anything without root access because it does not give them enough permissions to make any changes.

REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Chainfire lets it be known that he did have the MMB29K.A700FXXU2BPH2 firmware build number running on his Samsung Galaxy A7 SM-A700F smartphone when he came up with the working rooting method that is available in this guide. However, it does not mean you need the same firmware running on your smartphone. He just gives us that information so we can use it as an indicator if we need it later.
• You need to have the Samsung USB Drivers installed on the Windows computer already before getting started with this guide. Those USB Drivers are what is going to allow the smartphone to get detected by the Odin flashing application which is what flashes the rooting file.
• Your smartphone must have the Developer Options menu unlocked and the USB Debugging Mode enabled from that Developer Options menu or else it will not work. That USB Debugging Mode options from the Developer Options is what allows you to make changes to the Android software when you want to be doing developing work.
