All thanks go to our awesome XDA-Developers, the developers at Oppo, and also to scumpicule for this working root method.
It doesn't require any alterations to the recovery system, just stick with the one that Oppo has provided.
This has only been tested on the X9076, it should theoretically work for other versions of the Find 7 as well, but please do this under your own discretion.
**Update: It has been reported that the newest Rom release of 1.2.2i or 1.2.3i and onward might not work with this root method! If this is the case, you will need to use these instructions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53902937&postcount=10
________________________________________________________________________________
CONTINUE with these instructions if you have Rom Version: 1.2.1i, otherwise if you have updated, click on the above link ^
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download the "Find7_ROOT4.3_bbs.oppo.cn.zip" file.
** It is also available at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739102&highlight=find+7 **
Then Copy/Paste it in your phone on your root folder
Turn Off your phone
Simultaneously press the buttons ' power ' and 'volume down ' until you feel a vibration.
Your phone will reboot into recovery mode. ( Should be the OPPO recovery ! )
Select ' Choose English ' & Install zip file
Then choose the zip file that you have downloaded in step 1 & click "YES" to install.
Hit "Reboot" once everything is completed.
Go into app drawer and select the SuperSU app. Update the binary by selecting the "NORMAL" method.
Reopen SuperSU and make sure binary is okay.
Try downloading "Root Checker" or a app that requires root.
Congratulations, your device is now Rooted!!
________________________________________________________________________________
If you run into any errors, try updating the SuperSU binary again, or check under "NOTES" on the link above that scumpicule has posted.

I'm pretty sure I used the same .zip file earlier today with the stock recovery, installation failed here too. (X9076).
Fortunately this worked perfectly: Click Here

Were you able to get to SuperSU in the app drawer? Make sure that the binary was installed properly.
It's interesting because I was able to get it to work perfectly.
See attached photos of Root Checker.
Does not work on ColorOS 1.2.2i
I just got my Find 7 phone and after the OTA upgraded the system to 1.2.2i, when I tried to install the root file and it failed to install.
Installation Failed
No luck. Failed at the zip file installation part. Please let me know if you have any solution. Thanks. Cheers.:cyclops:

I'm having the same problem. When installing the zip from Oppo Recovery, it fails immediately every time. Tried both the Find7_ROOT4.3 and the Find7_GSM4.3 files. Any suggestions?
I think that after the update to 1.2.2i, the root might not work anymore. For all those that don't have it working, can you confirm if you have the 1.2.2i Rom version?

Good news!
I have found the Rooting method and instructions for Rom version 1.2.2i
It should work for every Oppo Find 7 and 7a (not confirmed) with any system (till 1.2.2i at least).
In the end system, bootloader and recovery will be intact - > stock rooted.
WORKING ON: x9077, x9076, x9006 (confirmed by #Oiler)
(NOTE):
Android SDK is required (which gives ADB and FASTBOOT files), if you have these files already on your computer, then you can just download TWRP, STOCK RECOVERY (oppo), and SUPERSU.
All the files are located below:
Preparation:
1. Phone with at least 30% battery.
2. Install Oppo drivers from "OPPO Driver" phone partition.
3. Download and unzip: AndroidSDKSlim - https://mega.co.nz/#!SEhFXbzL!Xy4PrX_NKFnAZvPaggQL-1Vw1PESzRCyqXiPrMlvWVM
4. Download: TWRP - https://mega.co.nz/#!gF0GhBzT!HGaWCcQfqr_ns2z7ZEIeeF-0KvXFliEOAFZ_Z-wHcdw and put it in "platform-tools" folder wich u get from zip above. (img file)
5. Download: Stock Recovery - https://mega.co.nz/#!rVQWXKhD!Ljy9pw_sy0VlKzxqJwuD4UoZGMwF_dOmOYWgR1mMRc4 Mod or Stock Recoveryhttp://ge.tt/2EQ5h2m1/v/0?c *2 and put it in "platform-tools" folder. (img file)
6. Download: SuperSU - http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip?retrieve_file=1 and put it on phone internal storage. (do not unpack)
Changing Recovery Menu:
1. Turn Off phone.
2. Press Volume UP + Power
3. Now u should see small discription on screen: fastboot
5. Plug the phone to PC.
4. Open command prompt inside "platform-tools" folder -> press SHIFT + Right Mouse Click, pick open command prompt here.
5. Write:
Code:
fastboot devices
6. You should see:
Code:
"your phone product code" Dartmoor
7. If you don't see your device listed, make sure drivers are installed properly. Next, write:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x9077.img
after few second you should see OKAY. (No need to turn off phone) *1
Rooting the phone:
1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold volume DOWN and the POWER button to get into the TWRP Recovery.
3. Pick install and find the SuperSU zip file, confirm the flash.
4. Reboot the phone. (cash and davlik wipe not nessesary)
5. Phone is now rooted. (Check if there is working SuperSU app. Update binary if needed.)
Restoring stock Recovery Menu:
1. Power off the phone.
2. Press Volume UP + Power
3. Open command prompt on your PC inside "platform-tools" folder -> press SHIFT + Right Mouse Click, pick open command prompt here.

5. REBOOT, or turn off phone by pressing POWER for 3 sec.
6. Check Recovery Menu (Volume DOWN + Power)
____________________________________________________________________
NOTES:
*1 turning off after installing Recovery Mod is unnecessary, this is because the phone won't startup automatically into the installed Recovery Mod.
*2 Stock Recovery is provided as genuine by #Zeus (Oppo Official Staff). The other one - Stock Recovery Mod is provided by #Kedros which have removed checking of Oppo system (provides possibility to install custom files like roms or SuperSU etc.). #Kedros confirmed that OTA update is still available on it.

Yes. Mine is 1.2.2i
Same for me on the version number. 1.2.2I I was hoping the process would be easier. Oh well.
The link to the TWRP recovery is down. I tried to download it in every possible way, but I always get an error. WHen I click download once I get to MEGA, it is saying "temporary error, retrying". Please fix, thanks.
Edit - NM working now, thanks just in case you fixed it.
Edit - Rooted phone, left TWRP on if I ever go to CM11s. Had to do a few things diffrent than what you said, but got it to work. Thanks

Total newbie. Could you explain preparation step 2 to me? (2. Install Oppo drivers from "OPPO Driver" phone partition.)
Will this method work with version 1.2.3i?
Many thanks.
Hey, yes the method should work for the most recent version as well. When you plug in your phone to you pc, it prompts you install the drivers from OPPO, just continue and install them.
If you don't see "Developer Options" in your settings ( in "More" ) then go into "About Phone" and click on "Build number" 5 times until you receive a message indicating that developer options is enabled.
Then plug in your phone and see if the drivers get updated. This process has been tested to work on Windows 7.

Thanks. Just waiting to find the time to try. I'll post the result.
Thanks again.
One more thing, you'll have to enable "USB Debugging" in developer options, then try plugging the phone in again.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help.
Though I'm pretty sure I've followed your instructions to the letter the phone would fail to install the update.SuperUser file so I can't get to get it rooted.
Any idea, suggestion, tip etc, will be much appreciated.
Thanks
How far were you able to get to? Any errors or freezing? What version of Rom are you on?
Hey guys, I decided to update the thread in hopes of clearing confusion.
Currently I've found two methods of rooting that seem to help people.
Method 1 - E.K IT Services: ekitservices.com currently run by senior member @djerick3 *Not a sponsorship*
Method 2 - CF-Auto Root: Very simple and easy to use, all you need a:
Windows PC (7 - 10)
USB Cable
Step 1 - Download CF-Auto Root for the SM-G920P.
Step 2 - Using either adb (adb reboot download) or hardware keys (turn the device off and hold in Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button once prompted, press Volume Up)
Step 3 - Plug the device into the PC and open the included Odin in the CF-Auto zip
Step 4 - Click the "AP" button and choose the included md5 file
Step 5 - Make sure to check the "Option(s)" tab and make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. Then switch back to the main tab and press start.
Step 6 - Wait as CF-Auto Root will begin to boot and root, note that the process can take while. Upon rebooting you should have the SuperSU app (Note. If its not there, you can find it HERE)
Step 6 - Enjoy
< ----- Optional - TWRP Install ------ >
As of right now, current TWRP releases are not working on marshmallow. Lucky though @ram9200 created a custom version of the tool that should work
Step 1 - Download the TWRP Tar file
Step 2 - Boot back into Odin mode and flash via Odin on your PC (use the "AP" tab once more)
Hope this helps:good: as always though, of you need help feel free to to send me a PM

Hey guys, after all the confusion on rooting 6.0.1, I decided to throw together a guide real quick (hope this helps)
To do this, you will need:
TWRP (This is a special version only for the Sprint SM-G920P and is meant to be flashed with Odin)
SuperSU 2.68
Odin
Steps)
1) Boot your device into download/odin mode (adb reboot download) or (while the device is off hold home+power+volume down then you will be taken to a light blueish screen saying "Warning", just press volume up)
2) Once your device is in download/odin mode, plug it into your windows PC and open Odin then in odin, click the "AP" button then find where you downloaded the TWRP .tar and press start
3) After that, your device should reboot into the system, if present use "adb reboot recovery" if you don't have adb, turn the device off and hold home+power+volume up and your should get some red text in the upper left hand corner then you should be brought to TWRP where you can flash SuperSU (to get SuperSU onto your device, you can use TWRP's built in MTP function or use adb, I recommend using adb but TWRP's MTP is also good (to enable MTP, click on the "mount" button then make sure to tap the "Cache","Data" and "System" buttons, if your PC does not detect the device, tap "Disable MTP" then tap "Enable MTP". Then your device should be detected where you can then move SuperSU to your device and flash it,

Help
Same issue here. when recovery is booted. blue update screen then original recovery. OEM is on
---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------
im getting the blue updateing as well. then goes to original recovery/ OEM is on
unchecked the auto reboot and followed directions and am now rooted. Thanks!
This worked for me! Thank you so much!
A few modifications to the overall guide:
a. Turn on OEM unlock (I forgot to do this first)
2. Turn off auto-boot in ODIN (I needed to do this, as TWRP would not load the first time)
d. Move SuperSU zip folder to phone (same as other methods)
Now just need a good custom ROM...
I unchecked auto-boot in Odin and turned on OEM unlock, but it isn't working. I boot into download mode and apply the TWRP, but it is just stuck in download mode with the white bar at like 99% complete. It doesn't hit 100%. I forced my phone off and then booted into recovery right after and now my recovery mode is a white screen. Not really sure what to do.

Please make one thing clear
Do we have to turn off "Auto reboot"
Or keep the "Auto reboot" option checked on?
Android 9.0
Hello, when it will be possible ? If never, why ?
I followed the exact process but everytime i tried to boot into TWRP recovery immediately after the flashing, the device still boots into stock recovery instead of TWRP
Please help me with this
Thank you
I figured out a way to root the Galaxy J7 duo
Actually i have tried lot of ways to root using TWRP flash and all.. but one day i accidentally bricked my device
So i downloaded the stock ROM to flash my device
And i downloaded the 8.0 android ROM
So this root method basically tested on android 8.0
So now i have android 8.0 stock ROM downloaded
Step 1 -
So make sure you also downloaded the ROM
And extract the ROM file (you must have got the "AP" "CP" "BL" "CSC" and "HOME CSC" file)
Then copy the "AP" file in your phone
Then install magisk manager in your phone
Open magisk, select install, select and patch a file from magisk
Then select "AP" file
And wait while magisk is patching the "AP" file
When flashing is done the patched file will be saved on storage, emulated, 0, download (file will be saved as "magisk_patched.tar")
Then simply copy the patched file in your computer
Step 2 -
Open odin in your Computer
In odin, select "magisk_patched.tar" in "AP" section
Select "BL" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "BL" section
Select "CP" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "CP" section
Select "HOME CSC" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "HOME CSC" section
make sure you select all the official files from the stock ROM folder... just instead of the "AP" file, select the "magisk_patched.tar"
Then connect your phone via USB cable
Odin will detect and show "added" message
Start the flashing process
It will take few minutes
When its done your phone will boot up
But it will show something like "erasing" and "verification unsuccessful"
Just agree with that and erase the phone
(It will cause a data loss because everything will be deleted and your phone will reset, so i suggest to make a backup using samsung smart switch)
Then when your phone will reboot, just follow the steps to setup
Amd install magisk latest apk
Open magisk and boom!
You can already realize that magisk root is activated
Amd magisk will ask you to "setup environment"
Just agree and your phone will reboot withing 5 seconds
And done!
Your phone is now rooted
Install root checker and verify your root status
how to un-brick
Same thing here,
Tell me how you un-bricked your phone
I bricked my phone by installing wrong twrp file to sm-j720f android pie with odin
and now it shows only bootloader screen and I can't even go to recovery mode or home screen just showing " SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO secured by Knox powerd by android" noting else
That is exactly what was happened in my phone
So what i did just downloaded the Stock ROM for J7 duo from the sam mobile website.
Then extract the ROM and you will get few files ("AP", "BL", "CP", "CSC", "HOME CSC")
Then boot your phone into download mode using this method
(Connect the phone to your PC using USB cable, then press and hold Power + volume down + home, then when the "powered by android" logo appears release only the power button... so your phone will boot into download mode, press volume up to continue)
Now, in odin you can see "added" message that means device is connected
Now select the ROM files respectively, BL, AP, CP, CSC
Then click start, and the process will start, will take few minutes
When done, your phone will boot normally
Yeah everything is right until...
[grand_theft;83142325]That is exactly what was happened in my phone
***********
So what i did just downloaded the Stock ROM for J7 duo from the sam mobile website.
Then extract the ROM and you will get few files ("AP", "BL", "CP", "CSC", "HOME CSC") *********
Then boot your phone into download mode using this method
Fact that I cant even go to download mode I tried out many times
Just follow this step
(Connect your computer with your phone using USB cable, then press and hold Power + volume down + home, then when the phone vibrates and appears the samsung logo again just release only the power key, while holding the volume down and home key)
(Just release only the power key when the "powered by android" logo appears)
Thats how you can go to the download mode
No virtual change
Done it as u say,
But my mobile shows noting but just logo screen
*****SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO secured by Knox powered by android*****
again and again
These is not first time, last I did the same mistake before and I went to Samsung service store they recovered it, I don't know how they did but it worked.
These time I want to (tring to) do it on my own bcoz I love playing with ROM's, root, etc.
Thanks for replys
I also did the same mistake by flashing wrong TWRP
But however i managed to enter into downlod mode following those steps
And flashed official ROM to unbrick the phone
You must go into download mode to flash the official ROM using odin
Thanks alot
Thanks man,
I'm able to enter download mode and I installed official ROM. Now in using it as normal but (1)Secure folder and Pay mini are not working.
(2)Do you have any idea on other ROMs that works on SM-J720F other than Samsung's one UI.
(3)can I install android 8 on it in ordered to root as you said it in previous post.
(4)from previous your post on oreo twrp explanation, is twrp works fine. What happens to twrp if I update phone to Q (from system updater)
I'm glad you made it!
Now,
1) Secure folder and pay mini won't work because the phone thinks you rooted your phone and maybe your binary is cracked (so forget using those)
2) I'm not sure about any ROMs which is stable with this model. But you can search the internet (I think pixel ROM is pretty popular)
3) I'm not sure if my process of rooting supports android 9.0 or not, because i personally tetsted it on 8.0, So you can download the oreo ROM from the internet and then follow all the steps i mentioned before
4) If you want to install TWRP, you can still install TWRP after rooting via the method i provided
(You can install TWRP using flashify on a rooted phone)
But if you want root access then you can simply root your phone first..
And whatever custom ROMs you want to install, install it using flashify
Because if you update software via official OTA, the root access and TWRP both will be gone
And if you root your phone, then however you won't be able to perform a official OTA update.
(First root your phone, then simply download your TWRP file and flash it with root permission within your phone)
Instated of Oreo AP file,

I figured out a way to root the Galaxy J7 duo
Actually i have tried lot of ways to root using TWRP flash and all.. but one day i accidentally bricked my device
So i downloaded the stock ROM to flash my device
And i downloaded the 8.0 android ROM
So this root method basically tested on android 8.0
So now i have android 8.0 stock ROM downloaded
Step 1 -
So make sure you also downloaded the ROM
And extract the ROM file (you must have got the "AP" "CP" "BL" "CSC" and "HOME CSC" file)
Then copy the "AP" file in your phone
Then install magisk manager in your phone
Open magisk, select install, select and patch a file from magisk
Then select "AP" file
And wait while magisk is patching the "AP" file
When flashing is done the patched file will be saved on storage, emulated, 0, download (file will be saved as "magisk_patched.tar")
Then simply copy the patched file in your computer
Step 2 -
Open odin in your Computer
In odin, select "magisk_patched.tar" in "AP" section
Select "BL" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "BL" section
Select "CP" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "CP" section
Select "HOME CSC" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "HOME CSC" section
make sure you select all the official files from the stock ROM folder... just instead of the "AP" file, select the "magisk_patched.tar"
Then connect your phone via USB cable
Odin will detect and show "added" message
Start the flashing process
It will take few minutes
When its done your phone will boot up
But it will show something like "erasing" and "verification unsuccessful"
Just agree with that and erase the phone
(It will cause a data loss because everything will be deleted and your phone will reset, so i suggest to make a backup using samsung smart switch)
Then when your phone will reboot, just follow the steps to setup
Amd install magisk latest apk
Open magisk and boom!
You can already realize that magisk root is activated
Amd magisk will ask you to "setup environment"
Just agree and your phone will reboot withing 5 seconds
And done!
Your phone is now rooted
Install root checker and verify your root status

Ok I agree with you,
But what if I replace Oreo's AP file with android 10's AP file(which I installed recently on my phone), will it boot with root or not.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I have not tested this method on any other android version, you can still try it on your own, there is nothing to lose, just make a backup before flashing. If you succeed then that's great
But i have personally tested this method only on android 8.0
(Before doing anything, just make a proper backup using samsung smart switch. So you can restore your important data)
Success
Replaced with android 10's AP file and flashed with Odin. Now my phone has rooted with Magisk manager.
Any suggestions to tweak android

Have you ever got the answer or figured it out? I've got the same model and I cannot find anything on the net to help me with rooting this phone.
READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY!
1.Your phone warranty will be void after this tutorial!
2.Any small mistake and your phone is bricked/bootlooped!
3.All of your data will be lost so back it up somewhere

What happens if something goes wrong.
1.SV Error Device 1 library 0 - You installed the wrong firmware look for the right firmware.To check go in recovery mode and look at the A105XXXXXX and then look for a download. Remider AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
2.vbmeta.img error - you have the wrong vbmeta.img file. Redownload the original firmware and take out the right vbmeta.img next time you try flashing. Reminder AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
3.A blue screen telling you to use samsung switch emergency update. That wont work so just flash the original firmware and try flashing twrp again.
4.When i try to boot in it gets me into TWRP - Thats just because that your data is corrupted and to fix it while in TWRP mode press wipe then swipe after its done press Reboot To System. That should be a fix
5.My internal storage is just full of weird numbers and I can't download anything on it! Go in TWRP then wipe,press advanced wipe, click on internal storage and data, swipe. That should fix the error
6.Boootlooping or Bricked! Installed corrupted firmware or the recovery was f-ed up. Then install the right firmware and redo the steps!
If you have issues during the process send it in the comment ill try to respond as fast as i can!
i notice thread title says exynos only.. u do know they are all exynos including a102u and a102u1 right?
Oh. Alright thanks for telling me.
Press on app? I have nothing in odin saying that, do you mean ap?
Edit: guess not....i'm bricked, stuck on galaxy logo, device not recognized by pc, holoding power button wont force reboot, nothing lol.
Edit2: can force reboot holding volume down and power but instantly stuck on logo again, cannot power off or enter download, nothing...bricked. Followed this guide to the letter. I assumed when you said app in odin you meant ap since there is no app button. My bootloader unlocked then I went to flash in odin the tar i made with patched boot and vbmeta, along with recovery linked. I used matching firmware to what my A10 has also. Would not mind if i could get back into download mode, but that looks impossible now.
Edit3: Managed to get download mode but had to be so quick...hopefully I can reflash stock now.

Im sorry for that and yes i meant AP.
If you wanted to reboot you had to hold vol up vol down and power at the same time and you sure that you unlocked the bootloader and used the right firmware?
Also tell me the AP and from which source have you downloaded it :laugh:

The corruption was my side, I was using a download manager, but when I downloaded through chrome it was all good. As I said, schoolboy error on my part for not checking md5. I used sammobile site for the firmware.

I have a Samsung galaxy sm-a10. I've tried everything here, even combination files. The error I ALWAYS get is 'failed flashing ROM... OEM lock'
Of course I have unlocked OEM in developer options, but still I get this error in the bootloader.
Any ideas?
