Installing Marshmallow Firmware on Galaxy J7 SM-J700H

Having taken care of the steps described under ‘preparations’ let’s get started with installing the official Marshmallow firmware on the Galaxy J7.

1. Extract the downloaded firmware and Odin (.zip) files.

5. Click the AP button in Odin, go to the firmware folder and  select the file with .tar.md5 extension.
6. Click the Start button in Odin to trigger the firmware installation. The installation process will take a while to complete so you need to wait patiently.

In case it doesn’t boot up even after 10 minutes, try doing a data factory reset via stock recovery. you can find detailed instruction on the topic in the following guide:
