J7 2015 not booting to bootloader

Hello, My J7 2015(SM-J700F) was getting slow so I planned to install a custom recovery. But to my disappointment when I tried to boot into the bootloader the phone just rebooted to system as normal. PS: The power button is also faulty so I tried rebooting it via adb. I then tried booting to recovery, and It did. In the recovery there was an option to boot to bootloader. when I selected that option the phone just rebooted as normal. So is there another way to install a custom recovery, or a way to access the bootloader? Please help as soon as possible.

Use ODIN
 
Never mind, I did it with adb terminal. I was trying to reboot to bootloader, but what I actually had to do was to reboot to download mode. Thanks anyways :).
