Finally Samsung has released its first firmware for A5 2017.
Downloads
Here is a list of links to download firmware from mega. I bought a sub at sammboile so I could download fast and reupload as soon as a new download is available. Feel free to PM if there is a new release or you wanna add a new link.
For each download, you have a link, the PDA and CSC identifier, the build date and the first 8 letters of the SHA256 of each zip file.

Please note that you may flash foreign countries firmware on you phone. The russina version has a few added app and will start with russian language but you may change the locale at the start.
How to flash
Backup any important data. Power off your phone. Download and install USB drivers. Power off your phone into download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power and then Volume Up to confirm.
Run Odin v3.12. Make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and nothing else
Now you will want to check BL, AP, CP, CSC. For each firmware flash corresponding file:
BL : BL_A520FXXU2BQH4_CL11940524_QB14483550_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
AP : AP_A520FXXU2BQH4_CL11940524_QB14483550_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
CP : CP_A520FXXU2BQG7_CP7025068_CL11926776_QB14345799_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CSC : you can either flash
CSC_OXE_A520FOXE2BQG7_CL11926776_QB14345799_REV00_user_low_ship.tar to wipe all data before the first boot
HOME_CSC_OXE_A520FOXE2BQG7_CL11926776_QB14345799_REV00_user_low_ship.tar will keep your data
Make sure everything is configured properly, then press Start. Dont remove the phone until it is finished (PASS! in odin) and rebooted. First boot shouldn't take very long. At first it will be written in russian but you can select another language when configuring the device.
What changed
(except for nougat features)
Battery life seems to be reduced by a bit
Fingerprint scanner is faster and way more reliable
No VoLTE (at least on SER ROM)
you tell
How to root
I recommend that you use Magisk since it will not trip SafetyNet checks - but it will trip knox and void your warranty!
Make sure Nougat is working first by booting a first time adn download on your phone Magisk 13.3. Then download TWRP. Reboot your phone to download mode (Power + Vol Down + Home). Run odin, plug your phone to your PC. Make sure F. Reset Time is checked and Auto Reboot is left unchecked. Select TWRP file in the AP section and nothing else, then flash. Once it says Pass!, reboot by pressing Vol Down + Power and as soon as screen turns black, Vol Up + Home + Power. Once in TWRP, go to Install, and then go to the Dopwnloads folder and run the Magisk downloaded zip file. Format data (not just a wipe, the option on the right hand side) and reboot.
FAQ
Does it support Dual Messenger ? Russian version looks like it does
Will Samsung Pay work? It should unless you flashed TWRP before
Does this trips Knox? It shouldn't
Enjoy!
Thanks
Anyone can confirm if this tripped knox or not? It shouldn't since it's an official Samsung update, but I really need to keep Knox untripped.

Samsung Galaxy A700FD
Why TWRP ? Why not some rooted firmware which keeps warranty safe ?
TWRP is a custom recovery. It has many more functionality than stock recovery! if something goes wrong while flashing something you can always make a backup use this recovery which can be restored when things get messed. if mess is of large extend you can always flash stock firmware.
Why new TWRP Recovery ?
The older version which was released will not be compatible with cm structure due to mount points and hence this recovery will be supportable for all custom flashing.

and what if I can't flash because of secure boot enabled?
(in download mode there is a line "Qualcomm Secureboot - Enabled (CSB)" and "Write Protection - Enabled". I think this is the cause).
what should I do? any help appreciated.
nevermind. it was a faulty cable.

I have problems, this is what I do, for twrp:
- Connect USB to phone
- Start Smart phone flash
- Select scatter file
- Click on download
- Press power in the phone
There, it doesnt download anything. The phone just boots up normally. It could be a driver problem since when it boots it says that the device couldnt not be recognized but where I can find the drivers?
Edit: finally i got it to work but not in a nice way. I tried to turn driver signature off, installing new VCOM drivers for S7 but nothing. So I just went to my other computer with Windows 7 64 bit and it worked all fine the first time. In this computer I have Windows 10 64 bit and always have problems with these things related to phones and flashing.
Thanks for the instructions.
Some comments:
You never mention that you should create a TWRP folder, so that confused me for a while.
You explicitly refer to Windows versions of files in your instructions, even though it's unnecessary. I did the process on Linux and it worked perfectly fine.
The recovery is not fixed for OTA updates. The first OTA update I got bricked my system and I had to reinstall everything. Is there a fixed version of the TWRP available for this phone? I know there's a fixed version for the Elephone P7000 here: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-5332-1-30.html
OpenGApps gave me many issues with crashing services and apps not starting. I decided to leave it out entirely, since the necessary apps are available in the Stock ROM. (I tried all GApps variants from pico to stock)
Even with a rooted system, I could not remove some OEM apps (such as the OTA app that will break the system). Is there a way to remove those anyway?
Hi. TWRP installed on my s7 (X25 - 4/64 G} but can't reboot (hanging logo). Pls. help me to fix it. Thanks

Please try to install original Stock Rom with SP_Flash_Tool. And then retry to install TWRP.

Hi Ghostbird, thank You for Your support!
* I have added the TWRP folder in the HowTo.
* Do You have tested the HypoTurtle TWRP? Works OTA update now?
* OpenGApps working without any problems, but i never tried to remove OEM apps.
* I have installed Stock Rom, updated OTA and then installed TWRP. No problems since then.

thank you very much for the file, it does not work for me. it starts well on the recovery but can not start the system, still block on the logo.
I'm on s7_4g_20170814163417_v2.4.
Ah, I am still on the July release, have been holding off on the August ROM waiting to see if anything showed up for September but it looks like that might be game over for updates. Thanks for letting me know, saves me some time. I find the July one not too bad. Roll back for root ?

you're welcome , for root it's all good with magisk.
you install the latest version of magisk manager, you get the file boot.img from your rom, you patch this file via magisk manager and you just flash the new boot.img via flashtool. After root is functional.
Y'll try this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/twrp-porter-maker-mediatek-mt67xx-32-t3681861
Thanks, I will give that a try when I finally decide to load the 0814 update (or newer if one becomes available). Can I ask why you were needing TWRP ? Also did you notice any improvement with the 0814 update? I have an S8 in transit and will be passing this S7 on to my wife but the S8 could be a while yet when Canada Post gets it. Magisk may work on that also, same X25 and ram.

of course a custom recovery is always useful, nandroid backup and flash some .zip.
for it is the first version of android 7 that I test and I find it very stable without problems.
Ha yes I wonder the purchase of a s8 tell me if it great
Yes I will give you my opinion but it will be a while because our customs and mail is very slow. As I remember I had a hard time with TWRP when I loaded the 20170517 stock rom. I finally did a full format with SPflashtool and when it seemed stuck at the boot animation I left it alone for maybe half an hour and it finally came to life so that version of TWRP does work for 7.1.1 for me.

ok I understand, little question about SP flash tool to make a full format you used which option DOWNLOAD ONLY / FIRMWARE UPGRADE or the other so I no longer remember the name ?

The other is format all + download and that may work for you. It was a while ago, when I went from Android 6 to 7 and I do not want to steer you in the wrong direction. From what I remember I used the format tab on SP Flashtool and pretty much formatted everything. Yesterday I tried for the 0814 OTA by using the clean option in Super SU (which basically uninstalls it ) and flashing the stock recovery for the existing ROM version using SP Flashtool. The OTA would not complete because of a sector mismatch so I flashed TWRP recovery again, which actually rebooted pretty fast then reinstalled the Super SU zip using TWRP. If you want TWRP recovery maybe try it again without formatting anything and give the boot more time. I am not going to bother flashing the complete 0814 ROM until I pass on the phone to my wife because I don't want to go through the app and user credential reloads and fixing the IMEI's and WIFI mac. The Google backup to Drive feature is not available in settings - same for many who are on 7.1.1 even the "name brand" phones.

I am not going to bother flashing the complete 0814 ROM until I pass on the phone to my wife because I don't want to go through the app and user credential reloads and fixing the IMEI's and WIFI mac. The Google backup to Drive feature is not available in settings - same for many who are on 7.1.1 even the "name brand" phones.

With each new installation of rom, I start all (long but more stable).
For the problem of wifi and IMEI for having 5 elephone I have never encountered this problem even with version 0814. For the recovery custom it is weird that the start of the phone is long. this afternoon I tried to make a port of TWRP with base on TWRP 3.1 (compatible android 7 for p9000) with stock recovery, but I'm not sure it is functional. i'm not understand everything .
I just saw that the thread be updated, even tuto with the rom s7_4g_20170517133805_v2.3.zip I'm not sure that it works.
I followed the tutorial on first page and it works for me but I am using the 0517 stock rom. I don't think you need to Port TWRP because it does work with the one I posted. If you have time try starting with the 0517 and follow steps on page one. If that works you can try the same with 0814.
IMPORTANT THOUGHT do you have OEM unlocking (allow the bootloader to be unlocked) enabled in developer options ? This is the first phone where I found that to be necessary.

I just look into the options for developers and OEM unlocking is turned off. do you think I'll have to activate it ?
Ps : I never needed it

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII ( GT-I9100 ) which was retrieved from a dumpster. I love the removable battery. I would like to know what custom firmware you recommend for it. I could also use any tutorials you recommend to flash it. I have looked at some but I wonder which is best for my requirements:
* The latest Android release is unimportant (I can live with Android 5.0 to be honest)
* Having Google bundled apps is unimportant (all Google apps will be uninstalled, if present).
* I want the good reliability / stability and no alpha or beta releases.
I am only interested in root access & reliable firmware with which I can install open-source apps from f-droid.org. Thanks for any suggestions.

Lineage OS 17.1 Android 10, that works pretty well.

Another opportunity for you would be replicant. It is based on LineageOS, but tries to run on free-software only and a mainlined kernel. They don't ship with any google apps and and offer Android 6 (currently upgrading to Android 9 for all of their devices.
You will need modified TWRP to flash this and do not ask me why.
You need odin 3.07 as it is the last version of odin that supports S II.
Odin 3.07 https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-07
Update offically to 4.1.2, Delete All Samsung and Google accounts, go to settings and phone information, click 7 times build number（Just randomly click All numbers 7x and you will eventually done）, go back to settings, click on developer Options, and toggle BOTH oem unlock and USB debugging.
Then follow below steps
Pit: i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage.pit
PDA: i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.tar.md5
1. Boot your phone into Download-mode (Volume down + Power/Standby + Home and hold for 10 seconds).
2. Start ODIN 3.07 on your PC.
3. Connect your phone via USB to your PC.
4. Press volume up on your phone, ODIN should detect your phone.
5. In ODIN Options tab:
Auto Reboot : unchecked
Re-Partition: checked
PIT : i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage.pit
PDA : i9100-LOS-16.0-Emulated-Storage-TWRP-3.3.1-1.tar.md5
6. Press Start.
7. After succesful flash, reboot phone into Recovery:
- Press Volume up + Power/Standby + Home and hold for 10 seconds.
The phone shuts down.
- Repeat Press Volume up + Power/Standby + Home and hold for 10 seconds
Phone boots in recovery TWRP 3.3.1-1.
8. Swipe to Allow Modifications
9. In TWRP 3.3.1-1 you need to format partions
- Wipe -> Format Data -> Type [yes]
- Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select:
* Davik / ART Cache
* Cache
* System
* Non-emulated Storage
10. Flash the modified TWRP here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682894303 by Transferring TWRP.img to phone via USB cable≧Flash≧select image≧this image
11.Go to home and Reboot≧recovery
12. In new TWRP flash this http://ww.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145712187 and then stable magisk and reboot.
well gapps also not builded in in lineageos.
Thanks for all the responses. All the choices sound like they will get the job done. I'm currently deciding which one to try first.

I downloaded both the Replicant files and the Lineage files. I had a look at replicant and the set-up seems to be a lot more invovled, so I have decided to do Lineage first. The firmware download size with Replicant is much less bloated, which appeals to me, especially for older hardware. So I will probably try that eventually.

I gave it a quick attempt yesterday. In Developer Options I found "USB debugging" but there was no "OEM Unlock" setting anywhere. In any case, I proceeded:
Odin says:
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
I'm led to believe I need to get the Samsung drivers so I will do that later today. I have read that installing Kies installs the drivers so maybe that's the best route.

I will give you a alternative way. first, update to 4.1.2
then, install rashr https://m.apkpure.com/root-rashr-flash-tool/de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools but do not open it . you need to install it first because Otherwise installation will be blocked by kingroot.
then you guessed that root by kingroot https://kingroot.en.uptodown.com/android
Tutorial https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAF6BAgIEAE&usg=AOvVaw3cA8ZHKR3yqQaY6NvHnO4I
Then you can open rashr. download this TWRP as rashr only flashes.img files. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682894303
select RECOVERY FROM STORAGE and select the .img TWRP.
it will ask you to reboot recovery .
in recovery you wipe All in advanced wipe except microsd and USB otg. Then transfer the .zip rom to phone by dumping it into internal storage using a computer. Flash it by flash button and selecting the zip, but do not Install gapps. select Reboot and Pay attention here: Do not install TWRP app! Uncheck All prompt to install TWRP app and reboot system.

Not sure. I haven't put a SIM card in this thing at all. Does having no OEM Unlock option mean that it's locked to a single carrier? I literally found this phone in the dumpster and I will be using it on wi-fi (occasionally) and offline (mostly).
Re: Kingroot
Not keen on this at all since I have read it is malware.

GT-I9100. There is no G
I will try with Samsung drivers later tonight & see if the first method works. I am not keen on many of those 'easy' rooting apps, but I appreciate the help. I have big trust issues with them.
glad to see that, also one click root apps can do whatever they want like installing a malicious app without permission and hack device, though I bite the bullet and tried on my xperia c.
very reasonable doubt
Lineage is installed. However, it is still unrooted. Does anyone have any tips for getting this rooted?
=======
* I have tried the Magisk app and patching "boot.img" several times. That resulted in an error: Unsupported / invalid file, or words to that effect.
* I have tried downloading the Magisk zip file using the Magisk app. I tried flashing that freshly-downloaded Magisk zip file in TWRP. No go. Error: 1
* I have tried downloading various Magisk zip files off Github and flashing in TWRP. No go. Error: 1
* I have tried the official TWRP app that seemed to insist on downloading an official I9100 TWRP file. I flashed this TWRP file using my existing TWRP Recovery. After that, I couldn't get into Recovery at all (using the 3 finger salute). It would always just boot LineageOS instead.
=======
So I decided to start-over. I started up Odin again and started from scratch. I have spent most of the day dicking-around here. Now I am back to having LineageOS installed without root again. I tried Magisk again. No go. Same error 1. Still no root.
I can't recall a time where installing custom firmware and rooting was 100% smooth. Even when flashing in Odin all the checkboxes were greyed-out, so I couldn't even select an option if I tried. I don't know why.
Anyway, any tips to get root are greatly appreciated! SuperSU?:

Flash TWRP Recovery from the thread that @It_ler sent. If you cannot mount data flash forced encryption zip. (Forced encryption says Oreo but it works on all Android versions 8.1-10) After reboot recovery - then reboot to system, get Magisk ZIP on sdcard, then reboot to recovery (Vol Up + power), press install, select storage - Micro SDCard, select magisk zip and swipe to install, Then wipe Cache/DalvikCache and reboot.
You should see magisk app and should be rooted.
