Notes / Warning!

  1. Use at your own risk, I’m not responsible for bricking your device.
  2. Make sure your Model number is SM-J710FN. Using the incorrect file may brick your device.
  3. If your target device has a custom firmware flash counter, Rooting will trigger it. If you’re lucky, Triangle Away has support for your device and can be used to reset the counter.
  4. If you have a KNOX-enabled device, Rooting will trip the KNOX WARRANTY VOID status !
  5. If your device storage is encrypted, Rooting will wipe your data !
  6. If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device – with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically “OEM unlock” and wipe your data !
  7. Make sure to backup your important data before root it.

  1. I have a problem with “twrp-3.0.2-0-j7xelte.tar.md5” when I insert it in Odin, Odin stars to “not respond” because of the twrp. I have tried others twrp of others models and the Odin works perfect in differents laptops. What happens with “twrp-3.0.2-0-j7xelte.tar.md5”, is there any replacement twrp for SM-710FN?

    • I have tested and It works. It will look like this:
      Enter CS for MD5..
      Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
      Please wait..
      Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
      Leave CS..
      If you see like this, it means the file is ok

  2. I have a problem I did everything but in the end tells me that the verification of the system has failed and tells me to restore just restore i do this thing to the infinite
