https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-and-twrp-recovery-for-sm-j530f.3685871/
Downloaded https://download.chainfire.eu/1135/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-j5y17lte-j5y17ltexx-smj530f.zip?retrieve_file=1
Open odin, reboot phone into downloading mode (power on, home+volume down>volume up). Connect to usb. Odin ID:COM3 should show turquoise if it registers phone.
Then press ap, and load the tar.md5 file from the zip in that link.
Then press start, then it is rooted, then it got stuck in a boot loop.

TWRP Retry after root:

Reboot with Power, home button, volume down.

This worked:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDvtkPfXsuI
https://techn3d.blogspot.com/2021/03/install-e-os-on-samsung-galaxy-j5-pro.html
First install latest twrp recovery into BOOT (version 3.2 and higher)
Then boot into that latest twrp
Then tried lineageOS for that phone, but that said error 7 (Meaning img is not suitable for that phone), but you can aleviate that by unpacking image, removing all asserts from some file, and then repacking it again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fix-solved-status-7-error-with-cwm-or-twrp-recovery-on-rooted-android.2522762/

However, I did not do that, instead I installed EOS zip which worked, onto thee boot dir.
