Suspicious istaller which gave some warning in avast but I extracted the whole thing and did find stock and cwm recovery in there, together with supersu, adb and Odin..
Unpacked the ramdisk in recovery.img (cwm) and can comfirm that they are for A5 / A7.
Don't know why title says A750 when it should be A720.
From default.prop in A7 cwm
Code:
# BOOTIMAGE_BUILD_PROPERTIES
#
ro.bootimage.build.date=Mon Dec 26 12:22:30 KST 2016
ro.bootimage.build.date.utc=1482722550
ro.bootimage.build.fingerprint=samsung/a7y17ltexx/a7y17lte:6.0.1/MMB29K/A720FXXU1APLJ:user/release-keys
Unfortunatly I can't test any of them since I'm sitting with a A3 (2016) ,but recovery.img's seem to be ok. Don't know about installer..

Thanks, but I'm not in any trouble. I never installed anything.
Did you install it? What happened? Did you manage to flash recovery?

I saw a video on how to port recoverys from a device with the same specs and i used an a5 2017 recovery and i got it to work on my a7 but the storage didn't work. i could only sideload but i could install any zip i wanted.
