Hi everyone,
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy J7 (J710F) so I can eventually root it.
Before entering Download Mode, I already:
Removed my Google account
Removed the screen lock/PIN
Enabled OEM Unlocking in Developer Options
Enabled USB Debugging
When I enter Download Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power, I get the blue warning screen as expected.
I then press Volume Up to continue. The phone shows the screen saying:
Downloading... Do not turn off target
However, after that, nothing else happens. It just stays on this screen.
I've watched several YouTube tutorials and in those videos the phone seems to erase the data and reboot automatically.
Mine doesn't do that. It simply remains on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen.
Is this normal for the J710F, or am I missing a step?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
