hi Guys
I am writing this text with the Google translator because I do not have good English language skills.
I want to root my phone. But I am afraid that I get a wrong introduction. Before I root my phone, I want to ask you for help. I want to root my phone cleanly (no viruses, no residue and so on). I want to root my phone with the best method. There are so many introductions on the internet, how to rooted his J5, but I want the cleanest and safest method.

Flash TWRP via odin with OEM Unlock toggled on and then flash magisk or superSU

In developer options in settings turn on usb debugging and oem unlock.
Download the latest version of Odin on your PC or laptop and also the usb drivers for the device.
Then download the latest twrp for your device model.
Open Odin and connect your device to your pc and put your device into download mode (Turn device off then hold volume down+power+home buttons)
In Odin click on the BL tab and find the twrp file and flash (make sure you turn off auto restart)
Then take the battery out to turn the device off.
Put the battery back in then press volume up + home + power buttons and this will bring you to twrp (you will see a prompt telling you to swipe to allow modifications. Swipe to allow!) Then just click reboot for now
That's twrp installed

For Magisk just download the latest stable .zip file
Then reboot into your newly installed twrp (power off the device then press volume up + home + power buttons)
Click install and find the Magisk .zip file in your download folder and swipe to flash.

Job done!
That's the safest and best way as you can flash different firmware and mods and other cool stuff afterwards using twrp

this is probably the most inappropriate way to ask something on XDA but try looking at J5 Prime Development forums.
Dyeide Sorry For Disturb but i'm new user in xda i install it yesterday and i don't know how to use this app that's why i asked fot help from you guys, btw before i ask you for help i tried search in forms but i have not see any rom for me and i trid to post my question in j5 prime questions and answers but i could not do that i think it's a bug.
