That’s why I am here to assist you – during this dedicated step by step guide We will show you why it’s so important to ensure the root access and why you should perform this process on your own Galaxy J7 2017; so let’s get started.

Right from the start you should know that rooting is not for newbies or for entry level users. This is a tweaking process, meaning that you are about to complete an unofficial operation which is not supported by Samsung or by your carrier. Thus, as a result, you will end up in losing your phone’s warranty therefore, starting from now dealing with problems will imply in learning how to manually address the same issues – taking your 2016 Galaxy J7 back to service will imply in paying for the technical assistance.

With root all the factory and default restrictions applied by Samsung and by your carrier will be removed. Therefore, you will unlock the Android system. So, as a conclusion, once this operation is completed you will be able to perform further custom procedures in order to optimize, customize and power up the performance of your Samsung Galaxy J7 2016. Bottom line, with root access ensured you can unleash the full potential of your Samsung branded smartphone.

In term of future customization and optimization procedures, here are some examples of operations that can be applied on your 2016 Samsung Galaxy J7 once root is ensured: you can remove boatware, you can install apps from other sources than Google Play, you can install custom recovery images, you can make Nandroid backups, you can install custom ROMs, you can flash custom kernels, you can overclock or undervolt CPU frequencies and lot, lot more.

Don’t forget; with all these advantages you must also consider the risks – the main one is related to the warranty. Another negative aspect is related to your data which might get corrupted or erased during the root process. This is the reason why I strongly recommend a backup operation for you Galaxy J7. Through a backup you can easily save stuffs like contacts, call logs, texts, images, videos, audio files,EFS folder, IMEI / NVRAM and lot more. In case you need help, the backup can be intuitively completed – you can sync your data with your account, there are compatible backup and restore apps available on Google Play, or you can manage similar other cloud storage software.

The root solutions from below are compatible with the 2016 model of the Samsung Galaxy J7 on any Android firmware. The first method can be applied right from your device while the second will require a computer or a notebook – it is up to you which root process you like to choose for your smartphone.
