This tutorial works with SM-C7010 Chinese and Hongkong Variants. This guide will only work with devices running android 8 and bootloader version 3. Rooting will trip the Knox and you will lose the warranty and access to secure folder will not be available. Before proceeding make sure that the FRP lock is off (you can check in download mode).
