Samsung J7 Pro model has some Glitch in recent software updates. So, If you have little knowledge in tech, I advise you to Root and uninstall some unwanted apps. You can also flash some Custom ROMs. If you flash Custom ROM, check what is working and what is not working. It is wise to use Some Official Custom ROMs like Lineage. If you accidentally bricked your mobile during the above process, you can repair your mobile by flashing J7 Pro Stock firmware.

Good morning, the first try worked, I joined TWRP I installed SUPER SU, but it looped in TWRP (bricked), so I installed the ROM STOCK that you recommended. The phone is back up and running but I can not install TWRP anymore.
You should Reboot to TWRP recovery on the first boot. If you boot into the normal OS, you will lose Temporary TWRP access.

Vous pouvez utiliser le micrologiciel de région différente dans votre numéro de modèle. (SM-J730GM). Ne flashez pas avec différents microprogrammes de numéro de modèle comme F, G comme ça. Cela peut ne pas fonctionner. Après avoir flashé le micrologiciel souhaité. Si vous ne pouvez pas obtenir le réseau mobile, contactez votre opérateur et ajustez les paramètres.
