Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is still a great phone with 3 GB RAM. But the problem is Software; It can’t survive even with this amount of RAM. The Major problem is unnecessary background apps. You can get rid of them by Rooting. Here below article, We will provide Lot of TWRP for Variants. In Some Countries, this mobile called On NXT, On 7 2016 Models. So, to reduce the confusion, I give the name and Also the Model Numbers. This method Supports Both Nougat and Oreo Android Versions. The TWRP is tested with Oreo and Nougat versions.
Why root your Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime?
First of all, you can Uninstall unwanted apps like Samsung Galaxy Store and theme If you Didn’t use. You can use Lite Weight ROMS; they consume 1 GB -1.5 GB RAM. But Normal this Custom UI Skin absorbs 2.2.5-2.5 GB RAM. So with Balance 500-750 MB, you can’t handle the Heavy Weight apps.
Note these Things before Rooting
Check your battery percentage above 50% (A fully charged battery is recommended)
Backup everything using Samsung Account and External Storage.
Download and install the Samsung USB driver software on your computer system.
Get the Odin flashing tool, (Select Latest version for best results) extract its entire file, and install it on your PC.
- Download Respective TWRP file and Copy it to your Mobile internal memory. Select the correct file. Flashing the wrong file may brick your device.
- (SM-G610F / SM-G610K / SM-G610M / SM-G610Y). This TWRP can work well with Nougat and Oreo Android versions.
- Download SuperSu file and Copy this in your mobile Internal Memory. It should be flash after the TWRP flash for Managing SuperUser Permissions.
Enable USB Debugging Mode and OEM Unlock; you’ll find these options at Settings >>> Developer options. If you didn’t see the developer options on your settings menu, then go to about >>> build number; click on the “Build Number” row for about ten times constantly to activate “Developer Option” on your device.

What more?
There are plenty of Custom ROMs available for Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime. My favorite is Some Lineage OS. They are near to Stock Android. I Love it. To Uninstall unwanted Apps, you can try- System App Remover. Hey, Care about what you uninstall. Don’t mess with com. google apps and UI Apps if you still use Samsung OS. If you install other Custom ROMs, they are already optimized. If you accidentally bricked your mobile during the process, you can flash J7 Prime Stock firmware.

Saludos cordiales, I need to know if this process erases all app in my phone and all my data
Did you Wipe System in Cache? Flash firmware again using ODIN. App data will be restored using your Google Account.
Does this version ‘G610MUBS4CSB2’ work?
Yes. It is an Oreo-based version. It will work.
Hi, I tried several times to follow the steps outlined, but, sadly device my fails to be rooted.
Odin shows that the TWRP is ‘PASSED,’ but, during the reboot into the recovery stage, always goes to the Andriod recovery and not the TWRP recovery.
Any help here?
Sorry. Am using a Samsung j7 prime. Sm-g610y. Android 7. Nougat.
You should Boot into Recovery in the First Boot, after TWRP flash. Or Else you will lose root access after entering into TWRP flash Magisk.
How to boot into recovery from Download Mode after TWRP flashed by Odin?
Press Volume Down+Power Button to exit Download Mode. Press Volume Up+Power Button to boot into recovery mode.
Will it work on MetroPCS SM-J727T1 version? Which TWRP Version should I use?
Both models have the same Exynos 7870 processor. As per the theory, It should work. But, We Didn’t test. I Don’t know. It may or may not work. Also, Most of the USA Devices are Bootloader locked. But Metro PCS is different. It has a flexible Bootloader. If it is your primary device, Don’t test this. If you are a developer, you know what to do.
Does this work with SM-G610S ??
In some regions, this same model called “On 7 2016”. Both have the same processors. Currently, we don’t have TWRP for this. We will soon update.
After I install TWRP, do I need to wipe data before reboot?
Clear only Cache data. Don’t delete user or system data.
I cant see the download button for Magisk.
There is an available download link within the Magisk Manager word.
Hello Dear, I want to ask do we need to untick “Auto Reboot” because, as I have seen on other blogs that they propose to untick it to stop auto reboot, but as per you, you said to tick it, is it typing mistake or what?
Thank you!
Yes, You have to un-tick the Auto reboot in Rooting process. Thank you for mention this to us. We updated the article.
Hi, I am using a Samsung J7 Prime SM-g610y. Android… can I upgrade directly to android 8.0?
When you have rooted mobile flash the firmware using Flashify app, or Else you will lose root access.
If you have a regular mobile, you can try with OTA, Samsung SmartSwitch, and ODIN.
Well, OTA not possible anymore as I have tried rooting it.. I installed TWRP versions 3.1 to 3.2.3 and can’t get past it. TWRP could not “find” sd card as well as the OTG USB flash drive… cannot install SuperSU as per your guide here….. soooo I am lost…
OTA, when I tried today – it says, “the OS on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way….”
and…… yes, it is the first time for me to root device. 🙁
Try to update using the Flashify app If you have root access.
Wow… I finally got past TWRP and installed superSU…
installed a ROM and…… now…..
I am getting…..
the kernel is not seandroid enforcing
Can you mention What ROM you are flashed?
Is updating rooted Samsung j7 prime (IMEI number is changed) to android 8.1 possible? I’m having problems with the camera. It cannot focus.
Use flashify. Or Else you will lose Root access.
Hello I need combination file j7 prime SM-G610M BINARY 6, please help me
You can flash the firmware file using ODIN.
Hi!
Can you please help me? I have SM-G610F, I’ve done all of the steps. My ODIN already says, ‘PASS!’. But when I’m trying to reboot in recovery mode, it says ‘No Command.’ And I’ve waited a while. After that, it automatically opens my android’s default recovery mode, not the TWRP recovery mode. Can you please help me??
*by the way, sorry for the bad English 🙁
Un-tick, the auto reboot, use volume down+power to exit download mode, and press volume up+power to boot into recovery.
