Can't get into factory reset step - Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth

Hello,
I'm currently trying to install lineage 17.1 and following the instructions from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/j7elte/install but after i install the recovery img it wont boot the factory reset menu.
This is my first time doing something like this, i'm not a power user so please be kind.

hello there, i see but can you please be more specific describing the problem, like attaching some pictures, what steps did you do or anything else that can be helpful, so the others can help your way out?

It was my fault, i didn't see it was volume up for recovery mode. But at the moment i have a much bigger issue. My device needs a firmware update but i cannot find the exact model. The one under the battery is just a basic version i presume so i cannot find the appropriate firmware.

what is it? j700f or j700m?

Just post the code you see that the above person posted.
It might be on the battery or on the box the phone came with.
It starts with SM-

J700h.
I downloaded a file from sammobile but it's single tar.md5 file don't know how to use it.

ah, you nneed odin, download it and put the tar.md5 file to AP field

Download Odin3

and dont forget to put the phone to download mode too

I recommend one of the patched versions cause they error less

1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***
2. Download Odin v3.14.4
3. Extract the Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.14.4
5. Power OFF your S10+
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your Phone) push Power + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC. Or use the command "adb reboot-bootloader".
7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). USERDATA stays EMPTY!
10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes for the device to automatically restart.

7th step is the issue atm. The zip i downloaded contains just one tar.md5 file inside

okay then. just start? or do i need to check AP box?

Yeah, I couldn't type on my useless iPhone so I copied it from a text file I used to instruct people how to install firmwares with Odin.
Yeah only AP is needed so keep that in mind.

Although odin mode is red the bar is moving right now.
I'll update the result.

S510Q Repair Firmware BLU_S510_V18_REPAIR.rar

This is the firmware for the BLU Studio G Plus ( s510q ).
I tried rooting my device and ended up using SP Flash Tool on my preloader. After rebooting, it only showed a white screen. Flashing this firmware with SP Flash Tool fixed it. It takes a LONG time to boot for the first time. gl all

Take the battery out of your phone now.
1.) Download and unzip SP Flash Tool. (spflashtool.com) I used version 5.1628.00.
2.) Download firmware from above URL.
3.) Decompress firmware.
4.) Open flash_tool, with administrator rights, from the SP Flash Tool folder you unzipped in step 1
5.) Click Download tab
6.) Click Scatter-loading and select MT6580_Android_scatter.txt located in the decompressed firmware folder (BLU_S510_V18_REPAIR)
7.) Click the Download button
8.) Put the battery back in your phone
9.) Plug your phone in to the computer before powering it on.
10.) Power on phone
It should load at this point. Once you see success, unplug your phone and start it up. Again, it will take a long time to boot for the first time, so ride it out.

3. Download the update file (.bin extension).
4. Move the update file to your SD Card. (NOTE: If you are getting errors, back up the stuff of your SD Card and format it from your Galaxy phone.)
5. Rename the .bin file (including the extension) to "update.zip". Click "Change" on the prompt.
6. Reboot to Recovery Mode, by connecting your phone to another device (such as your earphones) and holding the Volume Up + Power (+ Bixby) buttons.
7. Navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button, go to "Apply update via SD Card".
