Hi,
here you find my latest UNOFFICAL build for j7elte including recovery build yesterday with security string from 22-10-05:
The link will be valid until November, 18th.
If someone still needs the latest official ROM (from Februrary, 10th), just let me know and I will provide a link but I cannot imagine why one would like to use an outdated ROM.

Thanks!

Hi,
here you find my latest unofficial 17.1 ROM build today with security string from 22-08-05 as well as the corresponding lineage recovery. I installed both on my phone (j7elte SM-J700F) and everything seems to work well.


Best regards,
Jens
Hello, thank you very much
I downloaded
Can it be installed on J700H_j7e3gxx?
Because I have this model of J7 2015

Brother, there is no download link and it seems that it is abandoned and not maintained
Yes, sure. It is not officially maintained anymore. Last official 17.1 ROM was published in February 10th. However, you might use my unofficial build including the recovery with security string from 22-10-05 through the following link. It is build according the Lineageos builf guide ( https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/j7elte/build) including the latest security updates.

Well, now this ROM is installed on my phone
And it is stable
Thank you very much j7 2015 developers
I have a question. Do you currently have your own J7 2015?
Yes. I am using a J700F. That's why I am updating the (unofficial) ROM from time to time. So, I am no developer. I am just patching the most recent security updates which are still available for 17.1

Why is this ROM unavailable for download? I mean I understand it officially ended but why isn't the link for the unofficial ones working?

These links are per default available only for 4 weeks (I don't have unlimited storage in this cloud). But here is a link for the most recent unofficial build with security string from 2022-11-05.

How could you flash the recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

You have to flash gapps directly after flashing the ROM without booting in between! You cannot flash it later. Therefore you have to flash the ROM again together with gapps.
See here for detailed instructions:

I don't use gapps by myself, but according to the instruction, you should use the arm and not the arm64 version.although the J700H has an arm64 processor.

I flashed twrp tar file via odin. Then i booted into twrp recovery then flashed rom. It worked somehow. I flashed gapps after booting rom. Before that i just format all except system and internal. It also worked. Even i am using now magisk. Everything is done with bootloader locked. 😂😂😂

    LineageOS 17.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. This is a port by me for the Samsung Galaxy J7 2015 and is based on the great work of @danwood76 and @Stricted.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repository. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit the project's Gerrit page. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    Code:
    /*
    * Your warranty is now void.
    *
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
    * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    *
