Read below to learn how you can root Galaxy A7 A7ooFD on XXU1AOAA Android 4.4.4 KitKat software. That’s the latest update that’s available for the Samsung Galaxy A7 device.

You’ll need to know a few things before starting the rooting guide, so learn those after the jump.

Here’s how you can do that.

REQUIREMENTS

  • You want to use this on the A700FD variant of the Sammy Galaxy A7 smartphone only. Do not try installing the file on any other A7 model number.
  • The guide is done for those of you running XXU1AOAA firmware build numbers on Android 4.4.4 KitKat software. Double check that from the About Device menu.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

  • Download the Samsung USB Drivers for mobile phones from our page. Scroll down the page until you see the Samsung brand.
  • Enable the USB Debugging. Do that by navigating to Settings > Developer Options > check the box for USB Debugging so it’s not empty.
  • You are voiding the warranty on your device by following this guide. Furthermore, you are tripping the Knox.
