Notes / Warning!
- Use at your own risk, I’m not responsible for bricking your device.
- Using the incorrect file may brick your device.
- If your target device has a custom firmware flash counter, Rooting will trigger it. If you’re lucky, Triangle Away has support for your device and can be used to reset the counter.
- If you have a KNOX-enabled device, flash custom rom and Rooting will trip the KNOX WARRANTY VOID status!
- If your device storage is encrypted, Rooting will wipe your data !
- If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device – with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically “OEM unlock” and wipe your data !
- Make sure to backup your important data before root it.

Can you give step by step to root this rom ?
try to install superSU if you want to root it
I tried this on my rooted Galaxy J7 Pro SM-J730G, flashing both your Firehound file and GAapps nano from TWRP. The OS loaded great, but once loaded, the camera wouldn’t stay on, and it would only hook up to the internet by going into the settings and typing in a Static IP address, would not find the connection automatically. Did you experience the same issues? Do you know of other custom ROM’s for this device? Why is there so little out there?? Thank you for your help…
Custom ROM does not perfect, there are many bugs as we know the rom developed by individual. I just like test it on my device.. and just want to know bugs of its. I don’t use it for long time, just for a moments.. then I back to the Stock ROM.
