How to Root Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016), Install TWRP, Custom Rom & Xposed Framework on Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J710F/FN/GN/MN/K)​
Disclaimer
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for any bricked devices.​
Preparation for ROOTING J7 (2016) :
Enable USB Debugging on your J7 (2016)
This is very important thing to be done before you try flashing a firmware or recovery file. USB Debugging mode make Android devices receptive to download and send data over USB cable connection. If you do not know how to turn debugging mode ON, do this :
In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
You will see a message that “Developer mode has been enabled” on your device.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options : Tap it and go to USB debugging option and check the box to enable it.
In the ‘Developer Option’ you will also find the ‘OEM Unlocking’ option, just enable it. (You need to enable OEM unlock, Otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on)
Install Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows to your Laptop/PC, Then connect your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) with USB cable. It will configure driver automatically.
How to ROOT Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1.] Download Odin, TWRP Recovery, Custom Kernel & SuperSU file to your Laptop/PC.
2.] Turn off your phone, Go to download mode (by pressing Volume down+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 6-8 seconds).
3.] Press the Volume up button to continue.
4.] Open the ODIN file and run you downloaded on your Laptop/PC.
5.] Connect your phone to your Laptop/PC through orignal USB cable.
6.] When ODIN detects your phone, It will show added in the Log.
7.] In ODIN click on AP and then select the official twrp recovery file (TWRP-3.0.2-1-j7xelte.img.tar. under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, Now exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable, you can pull the battery then place the battery back in.
Known Issues :- Samsung encryption is not supported yet in TWRP 3.0.2.0
8.] This step is alternative not necessary (If you want to disabled dm-verity & encryption, another words if you want to mount Internal Storage in TWRP, So do it) :
Go to download mode again and Open ODIN click on AP and the select Stock based custom kernel (SM-J710F-Kernel-6.0.1-nodmv.tar) under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, Now exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable, you can pull the battery then place the battery back in again.
Note 1 :- As per my experiences, it is recommended to flash the Kernel, then recovery and then "FORMAT DATA" (not only wipe) to disable encryption. Otherwise, TWRP will not be able to mount /data.
Note 2 :- If you want to keep encryption (are you official lover), simply flash official twrp recovery and then flash SuperSU package via TWRP, The result would be that TWRP is mount External SD card and OTG so don't worry and flash only official TWRP. (Follow all steps for rooting your J7 2016 by official method, ONLY skip step no. 8 and 11).
9.] If the flashing succeeds, ODIN will show 'PASS'. That means the recovery flashed successfully. It will boot into recovery.
10.] Swipe to Allow Modifications. Click on Reboot.
11.] This step is alternative (If you followed step no. 8, so then do it) :
Swipe to Allow Modifications. Click on Reboot. Go to Wipe > Format Data > "yes" ...Ok Click on Reboot.
12.] Copy and place downloaded SuperSU v2.78 zip file to your Internal OR External SD card.
13.] Turn off your phone, Reboot to recovery (by pressing Volume up+Home+Power buttons).
14.] The recovery will start. Select 'install zip'.
15.] Go to and select SuperSU v2.78 zip which you downloaded. Swipe to Confirm Flash. Flashing process will start. Once Completed. Wipe Cache/dalvik, Click on Reboot.
16.] After it finishes, go back and reboot your phone.
ENJOY your rooted Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
SuperSU Issues installing/updating binaries : If you want to update binary files or Root 100% your Galaxy J7 2016 follow my steps :

ENJOY your full Rooted Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
Install Custom ROM :
Comming SOON...
Install Xposed Framework on J7 (2016) :
Most Android users mainly root their devices only to install Xposed Framework. Xposed Framework is a powerful tool that enables you to modify your ROM as you wish using some tweaks. Xposed Framework can be installed not only on Custom ROMS but also on the Stock ROMS. So using Xposed you can add some tweaks to your Stock ROM or firmware and get the features of a custom ROM.
Official build of Xposed framework for Marshmallow Samsung Galaxy Devices has not been released yet, since Samsung made a lot of changes to ART (Android Runtime) without providing the sources. So we have the unofficial build now and we need to flash the Framework (SDK.zip) rather than just installing the Apk like in other versions of android so as Jelly Bean and Kitkat (Where the Xposed installer apk file would install the framework on your system automatically.
Preparation for Install Xposed :
Make a nandroid backup using TWRP (in case if anything goes wrong) before installing Xposed Framework.
With the Nandroid backup (which is an excellent feature on custom recoveries like TWRP) you can backup all your current state of your operating system on your device and save it in your SD card or on your Computer storage and restore it at anytime you want. Many people will have perplexity that, If their Stock ROM (Firmware/OS) is rooted would it be able to do a backup of their OS and can able to restore it?. Yes you can do backup of the current state of your firmware with the custom recoveries like TWRP no matter your OS is rooted and made changes by using root.
Steps to to install the Xposed Framework for Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1. Install Xposed Installer App (Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4)
2. Download & copy the Xposed file and the Xposed Uninstaller to your Internal or SDcard
3. Go to TWRP select Install and navigate to Xposed file "xposed-vxx-sdk23-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-xxxxxxxx.zip" Make sure you select the storage as Micro SDcard in the above when you navigate to find the Xposed Framework file to flash (install through TWRP).
4. Reboot It takes a little time to boot up as it want to update our Android System.
Enjoy the Xposed framework on your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
How to use Xposed Installer :
1. Go to Xposed installer app on your phone and select Download.
2. Download and install the different modules you want to tweak your phone. After downloading a modules please don't open the app untill you enable it on Xposed framework by going to Module section on xposed installer app and selecting it on the check box there. Then retstart your phone to use the module you have installed.
All the Xposed modules listed on the download section won't work for Samsung Marshmallow Stock based Roms. Please refer the the screen shot above to see the Modules that I use on Xposed framework.

No you don't need to enable USB debugging it has nothing to do with anything outside the system OS. No affect on download mode nor recovery whatsoever. It can be useful for debugging late boot issues though if you ever run into them later on.
As an alternative to flashing the kernel tar in Odin, users can also format their data (or just use an sdcard) in twrp then extract the boot.img from the tar and copy it to twrp using MTP, then flash the boot.img using flash image feature in the install page.
(Used normally when users distribute kernels as .img not .tar)
If users don't want to root or change their kernel, they can flash no-verity-opt-encrypt zip in twrp to just disable the integrity checks broken by swiping to enable modifications in twrp.
Also if you don't have an sdcard but want to keep your data encrypted you can use the cache partition to store small files!
adb push filename /cache/
They can be flashed from there.

I saw your problem, Lagging and wifi errors is comming because of modified kernel is outdated and its need to some modification to fix it but unfortunately this work has been stopped. So now do not use it.

[GUIDE] Viper4Android Systemlessly

With Magisk 11.5 came many bug fixes including for devices that have a separate vendor partition. We can now use Viper4Android systemlessly with the magisk module. This will not affect the lockscreen visualizer or the audio fx tile visualizer. So we can have viper4android without sacrificing these features.
1. Install magisk 11.5 in twrp recovery, reboot to system.
2. Install latest magisk manager from playstore or apk
3. Open magisk manager and select "downloads" option in menu pane.
4. Search for "Viper4Android FX" and click the download button then click install.
5. Reboot.
6. Open magisk manager and select "downloads" again.
7. Search for "Viper4Android FX" under "Installed."
8. Tap the tile (not the download arrow)
9. Click the link that says "download the latest apk here."
10. Install apk you just downloaded.
11. Enjoy Viper4Android systemlessly on Redmi Note 3.

[GUIDE] Root using Magisk, keep stock recovery for OTA

This is a guide for people who want a rooted MIUI. It will keep stock recovery and system partitions untouched to allow MIUI OTAs to install without problems. It will also pass Google's safety net test so bank apps keep working. The best of both worlds really
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Windows PC
- fastboot (present in the miunlock app folder)
- Latest TWRP (download here)
- Latest Magisk (download here)
Steps:
- Install latest Magisk app
- Put latest Magisk zip on your device storage (SD)
- Shut down device
- put latest twrp.img in miunlock folder
- Connect phone to PC
- Press volume down and power button to boot to fastboot mode
- Open "Command Prompt" on your PC
- Type: (without quotes)
----- "cd C:\Users\[your name]\Desktop\miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10" . (or wherever the folder is)
----- "fastboot devices"
----- "fastboot boot twrp.img"
- In a few seconds, TWRP will boot on your phone. DO NOT swipe to make changes to system.
- In TWRP, flash the Magisk zip
Enjoy root

Does it mean I can install TWRP and flash xposed etc and still have OTA updates?

Same as my question. Let say system partition won't touch by root, but twrp is installed over the Mi stock recovery. Will it install Eta?

This guide DOES NOT flash TWRP. Stock recovery remains so OTA updates work.
The only thing that is touched by this guide is the "Boot" partition to install magisk. You can restore stock "Boot" using magisk manager's uninstall option at any moment and be 100% stock again.

Ok, but is Xposed etc. possible?

Well... That's I mean, boot TWRP using adb
After have TWRP, how can i get update via OTA?

it successfully worked for Redmi Note 4 global beta/stable MIUI9.2
even installed camera api 2 using magisk module

Just a quick question. I've TWRP right now with SuperSU. So I'll remove SuperSU, flash Magisk in TWRP. All good till now, but I'd want the stock recovery, a flash-able zip maybe. How can I get it? From where?
**[EDIT]**
Okay. One can get it from fastboot ROMs available at MIUI website (here), extract the pack and get recovery.img.

Installed successfully on miui 9.2.1.0 stable
Now when a new update for magisk is released, how should i update it??

I have two questions:
1. Why does the bootloader need to be unlocked and how can I do that?
2. What happens to Magisk if I install an OTA?
I'd like to keep the phone untouched but I need to change emojis and with Xposed I can use Youtube in background.

1. sign on en.miui com and you can use xiaomi unlocker (after 72 hours)
2. two OTA updates and I had to reroot it
but it seems that it is not necessary, I can not post the link
google --> github magisk tips (it should be the first result)

Do you mean this?
When an OTA is available, please go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot immediately or you will have Magisk uninstalled. This will restore your boot (or dtbo if available) back to 100% untouched stock images in order to pass verifications. This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!

Yes, I hope it works, anyway at the next update I will reroot it in a few minutes.

Really sad that it doesn't work for you.
Try this:
Install ROM from zero, (or wipe it off). Then try to install the magisk 18.2.
Hopefully it'll work for you.

Thanks
I will look at it
But is stupid that i need to install the rom from start
And where is Magisk 18.2 comming from
The last one on the official page is 18.1
So how do you get the Magisk 18.2

how to install magisk on lineageos 18.1?

Hello everyone
How to install magisk on lineageos 18.1?
I've downloaded/installed magisk.apk from official github website, but I cannot find clear steps about how to root the device, any help? thanks!
the device is sm-g900f

Download the magisk .apk to your phone and install it. Rename .apk to .zip and reboot to your recovery by holding volume up and home while powering on.
If using TWRP
Tap Install
Tap Install Zip to toggle the button
Select the magisk .zip file and flash
Reboot

Hi Boatshow,
great - worked for me with Magisk 23.0 perfectly - thank you so much!!! Installing first wasn't necessary so, I just downloaded to SD Card, renamed, installed with TWRP. Than I had to finish installing inside system, now all works well!

Hey guys!
New here and new to Android in general.
Instead of creating another thread and I will if its preferred, I wanted to ask how do I install Magisk without TWRP?
I'm on LineageOS 8.1 and my device is an OnePlus 8T.
The goal is to pass SafetyNet.

edit: possible human error.
Editx2: How crucial is it that I use this command to copy the patched image vs just dragging and dropping my phone to the pc?
Copy the patched image to your PC with ADB:adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
My OnePlus 8T doesn't have an SD Card and I couldn't find the directory to run the command. Instead I dragged and dropped / copied from phone to PC - then flashed the patched boot.img.
After reboot my phone is stuck in the bootloader for LineageOS

How to install Magisk using Lineage Recovery? I installed LineageOS and my TWRP is gone, I now have Lineage Recovery. LeTv S3 Pro (X720).

Hi there, I have the same exact question here!
There seems to be no easy way to install TWRP on Pixel 3 XL...even if I would like to, as it would make full system backups a piece of cake!

You can install Magisk thru LineageOS Recovery Mode, just use adb sideload magisk.zip(rename magisk.apk into magisk.zip) after you've installed Magisk app on your phone.
