Most of the people thought, When mobile get slow, we can rectify this by rooting. Nope. There are plenty of optimizations available without root. Even After the rooting process, Your mobile may not get fast; It Also depends on the Hardware. If you have only 2 GB RAM, you cannot expect more from your device. Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro aka Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 edition has 3 GB RAM. If you feel it is low, some new mobiles come with this much RAM as a starter configuration. So, you are on the safe side. Coming to Software, Pie 9.0 One UI is better in All-time Samsung OS design. It is better in both UI and Performance. 
But, If you want to use Custom ROMs, always flash Official ROMs, Unofficial versions may have a lot of bugs. If you are a developer and want to root your mobile, follow below steps to achieve root on your mobile.

Why should you Root Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro?
We thank you for the hard work of TWRP Team and XDA Developer- ananjaser1211. Without this developer, this rooting method is not possible. We Used Old TWRPs and modified them to work compatible with this mobile. If you planned to root your mobile, you should have a proper reason. Samsung is Already releasing regular patch updates for your device. You already received Pie 9.0 One UI Upgrade. The security patch is correct on 45-90 days interval. The OS has already optimized for your Mobile. The problem is, you have enough 3 GB RAM and Exynos 7870 Processor. If you worry about Bloatware apps, 3 GB RAM can handle apps better than you think. So, if you want to root because everybody is doing, I advise don’t root If you didn’t have any experience.

hi, selva,
In your step it was not said the installation of no-verity-opt-encrypt, do I need to install it cause I want to root it using magisk.
If you notice in the Installation section, We mentioned the no-verity-opt-encrypt file. You should flash this file before the first boot to avoid encryption issues.
Hai, Selva, you are doing a great job thank you I rooted my j7 pro from your steps after few days I got a message “Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock” after I flashed my official rom is there any solution for that? please mail me
thank you.
Did you use the Flashify app or ODIN method?
Hi, selva,
Is this method still works after the latest security updates? And the word flash is confusing me is it means that I should install all the files mentioned in the screenshot above? Pls respond and thank you for your understanding.
Yes, It will work with the latest patch updates. Flash means you have to install the mentioned files.
very good 100% it works !!!
Thank you for your feedback..:)
Hi, Selva, I followed every step, but in the end, it said “Verification failed. Unable to restart your device. You need to reset your device.”
It can happen rarely. You should Reset your user data.
Hi Selva,
I followed your instructions, and after the .zip file flashed using TWRP, the phone is stuck at the Samsung flash screen. I tried relating again with the instructions above but the same situation.
I use this stock rom:
AP_J730FXXU6CSK6_CL16526088_QB27603051_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5
Any ideas?
Use Volume Down+ Power to exit download mode warning screen. Immediately press volume Up+Power to boot into recovery.
Hi, I cant get to the menu after installing TWRP after I got it installed via Odin app.
After TWRP flash, Press Volume Down+Power to exit download mode and Press Volume Up+Power to boot into recovery mode.
Hey, when I go into twrp, it can’t mount the internal storage. And if I want to go back to my system, it gets stuck on the boot logo. I can perform a factory reset from TWRP, and after doing that, it can mount the internal storage; however, I can’t boot into my system. If I flash stock rom, TWRP gets replaced by stock recovery. So I’m stuck in a circle 🙁
Flash no-verity and Enable encryption in Settings in TWRP.
Hi.
Does this still works with the october security patch?
Yes, It will work.
Hi, I tried this, but until the step, “Once the file is loaded into the device, reboot your device.” I.. turned the phone on, and now it is stuck on the boot screen for 15 mins. I tried rebooting, but it did not work. Any idea how to fix it? There’s no important data on the phone. It’s brand new, and I don’t want to brick it. Thank you!
P/S I have no experience in doing this at all. I also forgot to copy the RMM State Bypass, Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt into the phone. I realized that in the middle, so I decided to boot into the OS after installing TWRP. That lead to this situation. I would appreciate any help. It’s been 30 mins, and it’s still on the boot screen.
UPDATE!!! I got it into Odin Download mode now, but I don’t know what to do. I want to quit rooting and revert everything to normal. What do I do?
No problem. Flash Stock firmware using ODIN in Download Mode. Everything will back to normal.
Can I uninstall magisk manager after successful rooting j7 pro, or will that reverse the rooting?.
You can install the Magisk Manager App when you boot into your mobile or flash in TWRP.
