how can root my phone?
Download pb1 or ok3 firmware download them from sammobile.com
Then download Odin to your PC
Then download USB drivers to your PC from samsungs website
Then using Odin flash firmware you downloaded from sammobile.com
Connect your phone with USB cable to computer
Boot to download mode
Put file in ap/PDA slot on Odin then click start once your phone is done flashing it will boot up
Setup phone
Then go to settings menu then about and click build number 7 times till developer setting s are enabled
Then enabled USB. Debugging in developer setting
Turn off check file with USB/adb
Go to jrkruse ok3 root thread on XDA under s5 Verizon forum
Then you may be able to bootloader unlock go to
Getex kk-mm bootloader unlock for the s5 Verizon thread on XDA under S5 Verizon forum

I am at step 10. I quit lastnight because I was tired.
I have mrw on the SD and device storage. I type in the terminal command and it doesn't do anything. I also can't open flashfire(when I click on it the screen just flickers and back to normal)
I need help. Any credible users want to help me through Teamviewer for a little reward?
I may be missing the obvious here. But how do I get to the home screen in step 4. I was able to get usb debug checked and all that with shake settings but any floating hone screen button takes me back to the beginning of the setup process

K4 Note marshmallow version working fine with this method used(fingerprint works fine,xposed is there,Rooted) no bug found until now
Check it here
https://youtu.be/f4kfvGkoMOk
Rather than saying the method didn't worked please comment with error or problem you are facing
##if you get blank screen or phone again reboots to stock recovery,then do this enable oem unlock again in dev. Settings. This phone's Lollipop stock system sometimes relocks the bootloader by itself. Check it by entering this command in fastboot "fastboot getvar all" in end it will show if it is unlocked or not
+if it shows unlocked and phone on booting to recovery shows blank screen or bootloops
Do this go in sp flash tool
Select scatter file from extracted folder in patch and tick preloader file .get into advance mode of flash tool in write memory option select the recovery.by.gursewak.img file from recovery folder in file path. Change begin address to 0x2d80000 and region is EMMC_USER And click write and connect switched off phone to pc. After success .reboot the phone.

Not working on Marshmallow. The part is Rooting first otherwise goes nothing. TWRP is not Installing. TWRP provided here is of Sevemaxs so as before is same.

Bro, The preloader file you shared here, is this same that's present on Russian Lenovo forums.
Sent from my Lenovo A7010a48 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
the only part has Gursewak.10 done is to modify unlock_recovery batch file to which recovery is to flash only of Gursewak.10. Else everything was lying on net before a few days.
Hello Guys,
Today I am going to assist you on rooting your HTC Desire 826 (All Models).
We will be using the conventional method of rooting i.e. flashing SuperSU through recovery. Just follow my steps carefully
and you will root your device successfully without any mess....
Note : The first TWRP recovery made for this device was not perfect. After installing the recovery the touch wasn't working on some models.....However in this post I have provided the Chinese Mod of that TWRP recovery... This works in all models of HTC Desire 826....Thanks to the Chinese guy whose modified the recovery... Don't worry, the recovery is in English, only installation is Chinese and that to only 2 steps which I will explain in this post.
Alert: I am not responsible for any kind of brick(hard or soft) that your device may suffer during this procedure...This method is full proofed but only when you follow it as mentioned...So proceed at your own risk.
1. Installing all necessary drivers
The first step is to install proper drivers for your device on PC. I would recommend to download and install HTC Sync Manager and connect your device to PC...HTC Sync Manager will automatically install all the required drivers that we need for our process...
You can download it from the below link..
https://www.mediafire.com/?m5xcho7w534p936
2. Download Minimal ADB Tools
Now download the adb tools required for our process from the below link
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/483igl8a45dy2/adb
3. Unlock your Bootloader (Very Important)
This step is must.....You have to unlock your bootloader before proceeding further.....
Warning : Unlocking your bootloader will void your software warranty...Also after unlocking the bootloader, the device will be reset... So do backup all your important data from internal memory to sd card or to pc.
You can use 2 methods to unlock your bootloader..
1. By using kingo bootloader unlock... Download it from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/221m4bgsptnmhgj/HTC_Bootloader_Unlock.exe
Download and install this software... Now Connect your phone to PC....Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device...Now open Kingo Bootloader Unlock...The software will automatically detect your device....Click on Unlock...It will unlock your phone's bootloader automatically and you're ready to go.....
2. By using HTC's official unlock method...
If the above method fails then goto http://www.htcdev.com/ and create an account and then follow the steps given there to unlock your bootloader.....
Note : This process includes a step where you need to download adb files....No need to download from there....The link for adb files provided by me are sufficient. Just proceed the steps using those adb files.
Now download SuperSU zip by Chainfire from the below link and place the file in your internal memory
http://www.supersu.com/download
Please download the latest zip file and not the apk file.
Important : Go on the above link and Download the latest flashable zip file otherwise you will suffer a bootloop and your device will be stuck on HTC logo
4. Installing TWRP recovery
After you have successfully unlocked your device's bootloader, u need to install the TWRP recovery.
Download the TWRP recovery from here .... https://www.mediafire.com/?hn2j75fxj6hkj9w
Step 1 : Goto Fasboot USB mode
Connect your device to PC.
Open the adb folder downloaded before. While holding the shift key, right click anywhere on the white space inside the folder...
You will see an option namely - Open command prompt here
Click on that........Now type the following command in the cmd window that opens up...
adb reboot bootloader
This will boot your device to bootloader mode...Make sure it says "bootloader usb" there.
Step 2 : Install TWRP
Now double click and open the twrp file downloaded previously.....A command promt will open up with something written in Chinese... Press Enter twice and the twrp recovery will be pushed to your device.....
Done...You have succesfully installed TWRP recovery on your device.
5. Flashing SuperSU
Now disconnect your device from pc....From "fastboot" mode use the up/down volume button to navigate to "hboot" option and press power button to goto "hboot" menu...From there goto "recovery" option and press power button to enter the recovery menu...
TWRP recovery will open up....
On the first screen you will see a warning....Just ignore that and goto the bottom where its written "Swipe to Allow Modifications" and swipe right.
Now a menu will come up...
Select the first option i.e Install
Now Search the SuperSU.zip file in your internal memory that you downloaded previously and select it.
Recovery will flash the zip file.
Now reboot your device.....
Hurrah! Your device is successfully rooted
Goto App launcher and check if there is SuperSU app there. If yes then your device is succesfully rooted.
To verify whether your device is properly rooted, download the root checker app from play store....
If you have any doubts regarding this post, do post your replies so that I can resolve them.
This thread has been started for HTC Desire 826 Device......
If you have any news or mods regarding this device or any custom ROM, feel free to share with everyone via this post.....
Hit THANKS button if I helped you or if you liked my post.

Simple as pie root guide for our devices.
Things you will need Crom, Odin, TWRP, Permissive Kernel.
Crom.apk: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224394932
Odin: http://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip
TWRP SM-G9350: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-...ecovery-official-twrp-galaxy-s7-edge-t3458589
Permissive Kernel: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862679620
SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
1. Boot up your phone and enable developer options, than go in to dev options and enable oem unlock.
2. Put Crom on your sdcard and install it to your phone. Open Crom and unlock the bootloader.
3. Put your phone in download mode and use Odin to flash twrp to your phone. (You put it in the AP slot, also under the options tab uncheck force reboot ). After your phone flashes unplug it from usb and force reboot it in to recovery and you will be greeted with twrp.
4. Swipe to continue, and format data right away to remove encryption from internal storage. At this point go ahead and flash the permissive kernel and supersu to be rooted.
5. Reboot one last time in to your rom.
Will this work on SM-G935U?

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner in this. How do I "flash the permissive kernel and supersu"? I managed to figure out the rest, but not this. I tried transferring the zip files to my phone and then installing using TWRP but supersu said a file was missing...
Hi Travis,
Thanks a lot for your great help. Would you please give a link for the permissive kernel, the given link is broken. Thank :good:
Root Guide
** Root will void the warranty and disable OTA updates **
boot.img patch method
I don't recommend updating the firmware OTA before rooting. There is a chance you will update your phone to a firmware that hasn't been released yet on the ASUS website. New updates are released OTA first and then about a week or two later they are posted on the ASUS website. If by chance you updated the firmware OTA and the firmware isn't on the ASUS website, you'll have to wait for the firmware to be posted before you can root.
If already rooted and updating firmware skip to 5b
1. Make a folder called ROG Phone to store all files needed
2. Download the following to the ROG Phone folder
-- Unlock Tool, aka Unlock Device App
---- https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/..._SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.1.0.7_180912_fulldpi.apk
-- Latest Firmware - Under Firmware click on See All Downloads | Look at version number, not dates
---- Match SKU/Region - Example: WW->WW, CN->CN, JP->JP
------ Settings > System > About phone > Software information
-------- https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ROG-Phone/HelpDesk_BIOS/
-- Minimal ADB and Fastboot - Portable
---- https://devsjournal.com/download-minimal-adb-fastboot-tool.html
-- Payload Dumper
---- Attatched image_extrator.zip script
-- Python
---- https://www.python.org/downloads/
-- Magisk Manager
---- https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
3. Unlock bootloader
-- Connect the phone to the PC via the side port on your phone
-- Select USB File Transfer on the phone; If problems connecting, update drivers on the PC
-- Copy the Unlock Tool to your phone's Downloads folder
-- This voids the warranty and disables OTA updates
-- This will force a factory reset, so backup your data
-- Use File Manager (in ASUS folder) on your phone to run the Unlock Tool from the Downloads folder
-- If asked for Pin select "Use your Google account" in white text (can't see) below the Pin request
---- Pin request YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPKAEGptfas
4. Enable Developer on the phone
-- Settings > System > About phone > Software information
---- Tap "Build number" 7 times
5. Update phone to latest downloadable firmware
-- 5a
-- Open the ROG Phone folder and enable view file extensions
---- File > Change folder and search options > Click View tab > Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types > Click OK
-- Unzip Minimal ADB and Fastboot - Portable file
-- 5b
-- Copy the firmware to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and rename firmware.zip
-- Turn on USB debugging
---- Settings > System > Developer options
------ Enable "USB debugging"
-- Connect the phone to the PC via the side port on your phone
-- Select USB debugging on your phone.
-- From the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder run cmd-here.exe
-- From the command prompt (black window) type the following:
adb devices
-- To check the connection
adb reboot recovery
-- Select ADB on phone
adb sideload firmware.zip
-- Check that your phone was updated to the latest firmware
---- Settings > System > About phone > Software information
If by chance adb sideload doesn't work, try copying the firmware to the root directory (folder) on the phone and then reboot to install. Don't change the name of the firmware while using this method and you can't skip updates. So if there are two updates out from your current version, you'll have to install both.
6. Extract the boot.img file from the firmware using Payload Dumper
-- Use the attached image extractor script
---- Requires Python; Look at readme.txt
7. Patch boot.img using Magisk Manager
** Make sure that boot.img is from the same firmware version that is on the phone **
-- Turn off USB debugging
---- Settings > System > Developer options
------ Disable "USB debugging"
-- Connect the phone to the PC via the side port on your phone
-- Select USB File Transfer on the phone
-- Copy Magisk Manager and boot.img to your phone's Downloads folder
-- Use File Manager (in ASUS folder) on your phone to run Magisk Manager from the Downloads folder
---- Magisk Manager requires access to the Internet via wifi or mobile network
-- More Information
---- https://www.google.com/search?q=How...Methods)&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1
------ Look at Method 2
-- Copy patched_boot.img from the phone's Downloads folder to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
8. Flash patched_boot.img
** Make sure that patched_boot.img is from the same firmware version that is on the phone **
-- Put phone into fastboot mode
---- While the phone is off, hold down volume up and power buttons
-- Connect the phone to the PC via the side port on your phone
-- From the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder run cmd-here.exe
-- From the command prompt (black window) type the following:
fastboot devices
-- To check the connection
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some users couldn't get a connection to a PC via a PC's Type-C USB port and had to use a Type-C to Type-A USB cable.

If by chance something went wrong and your phone locks up on boot, this raw WW firmware install will get you back up and going (so far it has worked for everyone). This can also be used to relock the bootloader, but it will not restore OTA updates.

Before running the fastboot command run: "fastboot devices" without quotations. To make sure the device is recognized and connected.
Nice write up!. By the way there is an update to the system a small one maybe 70+ MB. Minor stability update.

Thanks, I updated post. I was wondering after the system update, does TWRP still work because of encryption? Or does TWRP need to be updated for every system update?
Does the unlock bootloader tool REALLY erases all everything, or it's just ASUS warning so they cover their end if user data is lost?

Once you flash TWRP you will not be able to update through OTA. You will have to download the update manually and then flash it, once you do that i believe it flashes the stock boot.img which removes TWRP. When that happens you will have to flash a compatible TWRP for the new update.
That's how i understand it, personally i haven't rooted yet so i can't be 100% certain.
Also it's recommended by TWRP team to return to stock before updating the system and then flashing TWRP.

It's not just ASUS, Any Android device once you unlock the bootloader the user data is erased. So better backup!. By the way ASUS has a backup tool for all your apps and data i haven't tried it yet, give it a try.
That is correct. When I had my Pixel 2 XL (or any phone for that matter). When you flash TWRP on to the recovery the OTA update will always fail. You will have to either find the original recovery or the whole rom and reflash it.

Thanks! I hope shakalaca keeps updating TWRP with the new firmwares. Sounds like recovery.img will have to be extracted from the firmware and flashed before updating.
You will not find any file under the name of recovery.img. I tried looking for it in the stock firmware before no such file exists. The only way I think to do it is by flashing all of the boot.img where it resides I think.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

I wasn't able to find either recovery.img or boot.img in the firmware.
boot.img vs recovery.img always confuses me. I wonder if updating with the update.zip method really needs stock recovery?

You need the payload dumber app on windows to extract the payload file which contains all the .img files which boot.img is one of them.
The boot.img contains the kernel and other important files needed to boot the device, while the recovery contains all the recovery settings responsible for reseting the device and updating, wiping actions.
From the comments i saw about recovering the phone after a bootloop it seems stock recovery isn't needed but i could be wrong. We will need input from others who have done it.
On my previous phone i could go back to stock rom without stock recovery as long it's the same rom build. So you will need to flash the same stock rom you are currently on and then flash the update.
I ran into some trouble. after running bootloader unlocker apk. it is now asking for a PIN. I tried the PIN I used when setting up the fingerprint reader and it doesn't work. It won't let me setup the phone again now.
Also got into the stock Recovery and did a user/data factory reset
Anyone suggestions?

4. Put phone into fastboot mode (volume down + power button)

By pressing volume down + Power button, the phone goes into recovery mode not fastboot.
It's easiest doing it by adb:
Adb devices
If the phone Is found:
Adb reboot bootloader
That's what I did when I root my Rog

I was in the same situation, but if you check carefully you will see "use your account Google" it's just below of the pin request.

To go to fastboot mode the hardware method will be by:
1. Holding (Power+Volume Up) until you see "Republic of Gamers" logo then release.
2. If the phone is turned off; hold the volume up only and connect the usb c to the phone(make sure the usb wire is connected to the PC already "It's basically the same as holding the power button except you'r getting the power from the usb"). You will go directly to "fastboot mode/ bootloader mode" i used to do this before on my phones, will also work on the ROG phone.

Thanks! I updated the guide and added link to your post.
I loaded TWRP but I can't flash Magisk on it. Can't read the /system partition.
Worse off, I am stuck at the ROG logo even after reboot.
what can I do to get the phone to at least boot back to the OS?
-----Update------
Nevermind I extracted the payload.bin and fastboot flash boot boot.img from there and it booted up again.

In order to flash Magisk v17.3, you need to load Magisk and magisk unistaller on a USB drive, then boot into recovery , select USB storage then flash magisk.
Thanks to mbze430 posting the boot.img patch method of rooting, I've updated the guide. This works without the need for TWRP.
Need info on flashing twrp. Are all attempts done on firmware version 23 (where latest shakalaca version of TWRP is supported)? Is there no way to get TWRP working on firmware version 43?
Disclaimer
I'm not responsible if something went wrong on your phone(Usually nothing goes wrong). You are doing this on your own responsibility. Rooting your phone may void warranty so don't root your device unless you know what you are doing.
Before Installing Magisk
Your device is non-A/B and uses system-as-root, so Magisk will be installed to the recovery partition of your device.
Installing Magisk for the first time REQUIRES a full data wipe, backup before continue( I would recommend to use SmartSwitch app for backup )
You have to have your bootloader unlocked before following the instructions.
Unlocking Bootloader
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot your device to download mode. Turn off your device and hold volume up + volume down button, connect usb cable to PC
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk.
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode.
Instructions
Method 1
1. Download the latest firmware for your device.
2. Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
3. Install the latest Magisk Manager
4. In Magisk Manager: Install → Install → Select and Patch a File and select the AP tar file.
5. Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar, Copy the patched file to your PC.
6. Download and extract odin(link given below).
7. Install Samsung USB drivers if not installed automatically.
8. Reboot into download mode, odin will indicate blue in id:com if the device is connected.
9. Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in Odin, together with the BL, CP and CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do.
Important: Uncheck “Auto Reboot” in Options!
10. Magisk is now successfully flashed to your device! But there are still several steps
before you can properly use the device.
11. We now want to boot into the stock recovery to factory reset our device.
Full data wipe is mandatory! Do not skip this step.
Press and hold Power + Volume Down to exit download mode. As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press and hold the Volume up + Power button to enter stock recovery.
12. Use volume buttons to navigate through the stock recovery menu, and the power button to select an option. Choose Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
13. This time, we can finally boot to the system with Magisk.
Important: Select Reboot system now, and immediately press the Volume up + power button after seeing the bootloader warning screen, release all buttons so it can boot to the magisk system.
14. The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.
15. After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. The following steps will need an internet connection.
16. You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, manually install the APK and continue to the next step. The app will automatically upgrade to the full Magisk Manager when you open it.
17. Enjoy Magisk
Method 2
INS Only
*To Make Things Easier*
1. Download the firmware(already patched) from the link given below
2. Unzip the firmware to any folder on your PC.
3. Download and extract odin(link given below).
4. Install Samsung USB drivers if not installed automatically.
5. Reboot into download mode, odin will indicate blue in id:com if the device is connected.
6. Flash AP, BL, CP and CSC files from extracted firmware. Do not load HOME_CSC and also leave USERDATA empty in odin.
Important: Uncheck “Auto Reboot” in Options!
7. Continue steps from 10 to 17 from method 1
Method 3: Rooting with TWRP[Thread]
1. Download Twrp based on ASL2 firmware only which already have magisk patched.
2. Go to download mode
3. Using odin flash TWRP in AP slot.
4. Reboot to twrp and format data.
4. Now you have Magisk + Twrp
Note: Magisk will be disabled when you reboot the device normally. To get into Magisk enabled system, Turn off your phone and use Volume up + power buttons to turn on and release it as soon as you see Samsung Galaxy M30S logo. This will boot into magisk system, I would recommend Smalipatcher module to reboot directly into magisk system.
Updates: For each and every updates, either magisk or system update always patch the firmware with magisk and flash using odin(data will not be wiped if HOME_CSC used instead of CSC)

Where is the step for patching magisk, if you flash it on AP slot you must insert the Magisk_patched.tar file, it look like you did not do it by your self. The latest Magisk v20.1 may be does not work. the problem is random boot loop.
You can watch this video below it will show you clearly steps by steps, you just need to change the firmware that match your M30s model number.

For every update either it may be magisk or firmware update, you need to patch firmware and flash it manually

Please help: no "OEM unlocking" in Developer options of my M30s -- i.e. there is literally nothing between ""Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log" and ""Running services" lines.
Thus after "adb reboot download" pressing Volume Up -- does nothing as well...

OK... funny thing: it is there now. The only thing is changed: I "gave up" on rooting -- and started setting up phone -- inserted SIM-card and attached my Google account. -- might be worth adding this to the first post.
Another issue: Odin flashing failed "in the middle" with small red text like "User firmware disabled".
Now phone is not bootable -- text appears:
And error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.

But the Smart Switch says "unsupported device"...
And "adb devices" can't see the phone now...

Ok, can I know which firmware you used and odin version, also did you unlocked your bootloader properly?
its not workimg for my m30s i have followed every step
but its still showing cts profile:false

Resolved that issue flashing original (without Magisk patching) firmware.
Confirmed afterwards that you only can see "OEM unlocking" when your Google account attached.
But yes: it's appears that bootloader still was locked -- that "OEM unlocking" -- it's not grayed-out.
So, the question is: how you're supposed to unlock it?
-- "reboot download" and long pressing Volume Up there -- from the first post -- does nothing
-- "reboot recovery" + wipe data + reboot to bootloader -- from the "movie" -- does nothing
Comment if someone got success in Rooting m30s..!!

Considering we have Magisk available -- rooting is rather trivial. Setback is with unlocking bootloader
Finally Rooted
After couple of tries and disappearing OEM Unlocking button, finally I was successful in rooting using the method from this post. It took me some time to master booting directly into recovery after flashing patched images using Odin!
Also, did not realized that you need to connect USB cable to PC and press volume up and down at same time to get the bootloader unlock option.
Thank You OP.
