(for providing the latest firmware for SM-J710FN )

Recommended Installation Flow:

FOR OBTAINING ROOT

1.	Extract Odin v3.11.1.zip to your computer.

2.	Install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver 1.5.61.0 for Odin to find your device.

3.	Before flashing is better to go to recovery and do a FACTORY RESET of your phone

4.	Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons

while your device reboots.

5.	Open Odin as an administrator and choose your 4 files

1. BL_ J710FXXU2AQA8

2. AP_J710FXXU2AQA8

3. CP_ J710FXXU2AQA4

4. CSC_J710FOXY2AQA2

6.	Wait for Odin to update the files

7.	Connect your phone and wait for Odin to see it , then press Start and wait until you will see PASS and your phone will reboot.

8.	Wait for the phone to reboot and do a minimum set up basic just to be able to open Developer options ( after rooting with TWRP you will do

again the set up because you will format data to eliminate encryption in order to be rooted)

9.	In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.

10.	Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)

You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.

11.	Make sure your don't have Factory Reset Protection enabled in your Google account or you may never be able to boot again!

12.	Download the .tar image of TWRP for j7xelte (twrp-3.0.3-1 sm-j710fn).

13.	Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons

while your device reboots.

Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.

14.	Open Odin and place that twrp-3.0.3-1 sm-j710fn tar file in the [AP] slot, under Options tab disable Auto Reboot, then press [Start].

15.	Once the flash is complete (Odin should tell you in the log, and progress bar on phone should stop), you can pull the battery then place the

battery back in. Now hold [Volume Up] + [Home] + [Power] buttons until you reach recovery mode.

If you end up in stock recovery, start again from download mode step.

16.	At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.

You will want to swipe to allow, otherwise the OS will replace TWRP once you boot!

17.	FORMAT DATA to delete encryption without any patch kernel , the recovery will ask you if you are sure , write yes , and then you will see

there are no errors.

18.	To be sure you are safe press DELETE Dalvik cache after FORMAT DATA.

19.	Go back to TWRP and on the install choose SuperSU-v2.79-SR2.zip

20.	After flash SuperSU-v2.79-SR2.zip you are rooted

21.	Go to [Reboot] -> [System].

22.	Enjoy the new J710FXXU2AQA8 rooted

Hope you will enjoy the new stock firmware on your J710FN

And for the one who really want all the Samsung crap application to be removed I found and did some changes on a zip made by [MENTION=6223007]TENN3R[/MENTION] (Originally made by [MENTION=4074799]ambasadii[/MENTION] . Thanks both of you man) and finally come here with this work. Hope you'll love it.

I have tested this zip few times on my device (SM-J710FN) and there's no any fc or issues. So i think it's worth trying.

But as we all say here, I'm not responsible if your device get bootloops, your wife hits you or your dog bites you for some reasons.

Do not forget to hit thanks button

This is made for my personal use of the phone , day by day , and the battery keeps for more than 2 days now.

If you want To know which apps it removes and if you want to keep some system apps, open zip, copy updater script on your pc, open updater script with notepad++, check all apps names one (takes hardly few minutes) and if you want to keep any app in system and don't want to remove it, just remove that whole line. For example, if you want to keep "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter", remove line contains that app name ? runs ("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter"); ? including semicolon same as shown here.

To install the Debloater script :

1.	After you complete the setup of your phone with SuperSU-v2.79-SR2.zip

2.	Copy J7_710FN_DeBloater2017 on your internal storage

3.	Reboot to recovery

4.	Flash this zip and wipe dalvik/cache

5.	Reboot to system and you'll see that almost all junks is removed.

Please read carefully the installation procedure because I'm not responsible for damage to your equipment or loss of warranty!​
