how can root my phone?
Download pb1 or ok3 firmware download them from sammobile.com

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

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

I have followed this guide step by step up until around step 14. I am not fully understanding what you mean by
open safestrap and instal recovery but dont enter recovery
open safestrap and install NCG Stock Tar
if u have NE9 use it because that is what i used
How do I go about this step?
As you may imagine this simple guide will show you how to root your device with magisk from twrp recovery.
I know, there is already a guide by jashancheema that shows how to root this device, however it's difficult to update the system once you are rooted. In my opinion the way i'm about to show you is faster and easier.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for ANY damage done to your phone, act at your own risk.
That's how you can root your phone with magisk and recovery without disabling ota.
1. First download magisk manager and magisk flashable zip from here (official thread)
Install magisk manager and copy the magisk flashable zip somewhere in your device or sd.
2. Download mohancm twrp recovery (recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo) from here (official thread)
NOTE: do not download the installer, you need the .img file bootable from fastboot (recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img)
3. Copy recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img into the fastboot folder.
4. Enable developer option from in the device, enable OEM unlocking.
5. turn off your device and enter into fastboot mode by holding voume down + power button, then connect your device to the pc.
6. now open fastboot and type this to check the connection, if the terminal return an andress your phone is correctly configured.
Code:
fastboot devices
7. type this from fastboot to unlock your bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
8. now type this to boot your recovery (REMEMBER TO COPY THE RECOVERY IMG INTO THE FASTBOOT FOLDER)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img
9. once your recovey boot flash the magisk zip and reboot.
NOTE: do not install or flash twrp into your device or you won't be able to update through ota.
---------------------HOW TO UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you will receive the update the only thing you need to do is boot twrp, flash magisk unistaller (that you can find here ) and update.
1. type this to boot your recovery (REMEMBER TO COPY THE RECOVERY IMG INTO THE FASTBOOT FOLDER)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img
2. flash magisk unistaller from recovey
3. Update your system
4. Repeat the same procedure to root again your device.

All works!!! :good::good::good::good::good:
WORK
I tried, it works. thank you!
funziona da dio! fantastico! bella guida
Great work!
i already flash twrp on my device, so i cannot install update OTA until i go back to unroot?
@H.A.L. 9000, I'm sorry for my ignorance but I wonder whether the bootloader unlock passage (that'd reset everything) is inescapable after installing an OTA update
Can I install ota with the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks for this I was always confused on how to update the phone after magisk.
Edit: you think it's possible to use a custom kernel with magisk and still maintain ota?
Thank you, the rooting part worked flawlessly. :good: Now waiting for the next OTA to see if that will work well too.
1. USB debugging doesn't have to be allowed?
2. Updating Android can be done with PC only?
I did exactly the same (as nicely outlined in MP) for the last few updates, and can confirm it's working perfectly. I was using this as the 'normal' way failed due to unknown reasons.
This approach does not required a patched boot-image available, so imho it's more robust and reliable than the 'normal' method.

Can't I just install syst update through twrp?
Rooting Mi A1 using this method worked. But the guide needs updating:
1.You must enable usb debugging
2.You must install magisk manager after unlocking bootloader. Installing it before is useless because unlocking bootloader will wipe all data.

Well, that happened to me.. Total WIPE... So, i decide to stop. But this night i'll try again, after a full backup. For me this is important because i need to use Android Auto, with aamirror.
I do regular backups so it was ok with me. It also should be in the guide as a first step: backup your phone. It seems like the guide is not for beginners... After rooting, you can face two problems:
1. From time to time, Magisk crashes. Just open it again.
2. There will be a camera lag. Installing a Magisk module should solve it(I haven't tried it yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqcQKqhL3ok
there is some indication that 'fastboot boot twrp.img' wipes all the data!
Not sure when it started and if there is a way to avoid it - any idea?
My way of installing TWRP and ROOT on A20e (only tested on a202f).
Everything is working both on TWRP and MAGISK.
Versions:
-Magisk (v26.1)
-MagiskManager (v26.1)
-TWRP (3.6.1_9.0)
_________________________________________________

#Factory reset is recommended!
#Make sure BOOTLOADER is unlocked!
#If you don't need MAGISK stop at step 6 and reboot to system
[TWRP Installation]
1. Extract required files, open ODIN (as Administrator) click on the "AP" button and choose TWRP-3.6.1_9.0.tar file.
2. In the "Options" menu untick "Auto-Reboot" .
3. On your phone boot into the "Download Mode" then in ODIN you can press the START button. (make sure you are connected to PC)
4. If everything is fine there should be green "PASS!" text in ODIN.
[ If your flashing failed make sure the bootloader is unlocked and check if cable is properly connected ]
[Don't let the phone boot into system because it will replace TWRP with stock recovery.img]
6. Boot into TWRP and FORMAT DATA (Wipe/Format Data) to remove encryption.
# If you don't need MAGISK you can reboot to system. Otherwise continue reading the guide.

to bypass this error:
1. connect to wifi
2. change the date to 2 august 2019
3. boot into download mode
4. flash twrp
Thank you! It worked! No problems got me.
I kinda feel like idiot that I couldn't install it with that ease before
OH **** IT WORKED !!!
I've been at this for hours, thank you so much !!!
Hello,
I have a Samsung A20e running with the a202fxxu4cvk1 firmware (a11 version). I would like to install twrp and then to root it. I tried several tutorials (Odin, OEM unblocked, USB debugging, time change) but twrp installation fails with message 'custom recovery blocked by frp'.
Can anyone help me?
I duckduckgoed, and found this XDA thread, where the second post says the following :

FRP: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/frp/
FRP Just locks your phone if you alter the boot or recovery image and you had a google account registered. To unlock it you have to wipe data (factory reset) and reflash stock boot.img and recovery.img before using it again. If your cousin wants to flash my ROM (lineageos-13.0) he'd better not, its not stable and he will encouter random reboots and codecs bugs. The best thing to do is to remove FRP from his phone and flash Magisk (a root manager like SuperSU) and debloat it.
For more information, find the Grandprimevelte group on Telegram.

The rest of the posts mention the need for a modified boot.img, else your phone would brick after adding a Google account, but I don't know about that... I have MicroG on mine with a Google account and no problems.
Anyway, frp seems to be a related to having a Google account on your phone.

Hello..I was wrong. My issue is not related to frp but OEM. OEM is unlocked according to developper menu but is not effective. Not able to upload any custom rom or bootloader.
I read that there was issue (use of a volume up button in download mode).
Any idea?

Indeed, my issue is that in download mode I can only do a volume down button and power button to reboot in system mode. No option to unlock bootloader.
I think you only need to do that once, afterwards, download mode doesn't warn you.
What error message do you get exactly when trying to flash TWRP, at what point, and what gives it (phone, odin) ?

Many thanks for your update. Attached are pictures of the mobile and the Odin result. The error is an OEM issue (red text on the top of the mobile screen). In other forums, I can see that the download mode has an option to unlock OEM bootloader. I can't see it on my phone.
Putting the camera so that it covers the error message, what an amazing idea xD
I have never encountered this error, so let's start from the beginning.
Have you enabled the developer options, and activated "allow USB debugging" on the phone ? Also, if there is an option "allow OEM unlock", activate that as well (not all Samsung phones have it).
Have you installed the proper ADB and Samsung drivers ? Which version of Odin are you using ?

Thanks for your reply.
That's sure that it doesn't really help to hide the error message. Usb debugging is enabled (I am able to run adb commands) and OEM is unlocked on the preference setting. I did the test with Odin 3.13 but same results with newer version. I installed an A11 firmware (a202fxxu4cvk1).
Don't t know how to go ahead. It seems that I don't have the possibility to unlock OEM in the download mode interface....
Wait, what is that about the firmware ? What did you flash, how and why ?
also, try a patched version of Odin from this post (I have 3.13.1_3B)

I bought a refurbished mobile phone (blackmarket). It came with a 9.0 version. I tried to update to a custom rom without success so I installed the latest 'official' version
Download Samsung Galaxy A20e SM-A202F XEF France A202FXXU4CVK1 firmware
Fast download latest Samsung Galaxy A20e firmware SM-A202F from France with A202FXXU4CVK1 and Android version 11
www.sammobile.com
I uploaded this version using Odin. I also tried the patched Odin version. I read that the patched version only works with a10 version.
Huh...
I have no idea how that behaves, but I hardly see why it would cause a problem.
What else could you try... Restore factory settings maybe ?
Pressing volume up when starting in download mode ? (Note, this supposedly relocks the bootloader if it has been unlocked, if that happens and your phone isn't 100% on stock, it will brick.)
I have a A127F and i recently flashed new firmware. I want to now root it but i cannot boot to recovery or bootloader, and it wont recognize my device on adb. oem is unlocked and usb debugging is on. what do i do? is this a common problem?
You need to unlock the bootloader. Just cause you ticked orm unlock doesnt unlock it. Power completely of. Hold vol +- and pwr and plug in usb cable. Should get the option to long press up to unlock bootloader. Then put it in dl mode and flash some stock to get it working.
To root it you need the ap file you used to flash. Download magisk, transfer ap to downloads folder, patch the ap with magisk. Transfer the magisk patched tar back to pc(rooting wipes data so you know). Flash the patched ap file. Reboot and set it up and redownload magisk and open it should say additional setup required and will reboot. Once back get twrp app to flash twrp to recovery. There you rooted and have twrp.
On my device data was encrypted so i had to do the following in wipe click format data. Then go to advanced and click terminal then run the command multidisabler. After you run that reboot to recovery then reboot to system. After you get the phone setup again reinstall magisk and redo the additional setup required and after that your data should be decrypted.
Hi everyone sorry for the truble and probably the bad english this is not my main language .
I have an old Samsung s7 with android 8.0 that i wanted to root with magisk.
I first tried with twrp but i don't know why i couldn't "install" it, when flashing with odin it failed and made my phone go in like"emergency recovery mode ".
Next i tried without TWRP which i founded is the recommended method.
I did everything the guides i found said but when i am flashing the patched boot.img after the phone boot and i open magisk it isn't installed.
Ramdisk went from yes to no.
I don't know what to do i am sure i used the correct boot img. I transferred them via google driver in .tar maybe this broke something?

please mention the exact steps, we don't have crystal ball.
sorry,
I extracted boot.img from the ap file (it's the correct one i am sure because i used it to flash stock firmware).
Then i transferred the boot.img via google drive to the phone and used magisk to patch it, it said no error and everything worked fine . After that via google drive i brought back the patched file to the pc and used odin to flash it with BL CP HOME-CSC.
When i flash it with BL CP HOME-CS and the patched file the phone boot and ask me to go to factory reset i say yes, then after everything i reinstall magisk and ramdisk went from yes to no but it still says magisk not installed.
I don't know if i made myself clear
so I understood you enabled OEM unlocking, unlocked bootloader in download mode (what was factory resetting device) and after finishing initial welcome setup, you again ensured OEM is unlocked in developer settings. only then, you flashed Magisk, device is still working but Magisk provides no root, because ramdisk is gone.
What is the Samsung ROM version (for example G930FXXU8EVG3)?
What Magisk version you installed?
What options you set in Magisk before patching boot.img? Haven't used Magisk for a while, maybe no options have been asked.
i have enabled OEM unlocking but bootloader mode i don't have the option to activate it (in the passage before going to dowload mode) but the guide i looked said it wasn't needed if there wasn't the option.
I am using magisk 25.2 and they ask no option when patching .
download platform-tools, enable usb-debugging, install ADB drivers, confirm 'adb devices' on phone and push the ROM to phone storage.
Code:
adb devices
adb push path\to\pc\AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 /sdcard/Download
uninstall Magisk and install older version Magisk-v24.2.apk
In case you want to use TWRP later, disable the encryption checkbox (only when asked) and disable avb/dm-verity checkbox (only when asked) in the options before patching (not sure these options exist though).
Device should have ramdisk, so do not enable the recovery option for now.
patch the whole AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 file with Magisk. notice the file name when finished.
copy the patched file back to PC and rename it AP_[device_model_sw_ver]_magisk_patched_boot.tar
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.tar path\to\pc\AP_[device_model_sw_ver]_magisk_patched_boot.tar
flash the patched AP file together with BL CP CSC (will factory reset) and wait long time for first boot. finish the initial setup and install (older) Magisk apk again.
if rooting was successful, update Magisk from within the Magisk app.
i tried and did everything but when i try to flash with odin it crashes
please understand I won't answer "please help" or "tried everything" posts. give more information. the patched firmware does not flash? or is that general odin issue?
edit: given instructions were straight from magisk documentation
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#instructions
except for using older Magisk. I forgot to tell you how to install. did you figure it out yourself?
In the Magisk-v24.2.apk, do not update to recent version (yet).
In the settings, select Update Channel: custom. then select Custom Channel, copy-paste this link.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/4868c83/beta.json
you can now patch the rom file with older Magisk.
ok i managed to do every step you told me i patched the file with v24.2 of magik and falshed with odin, everything went fine. But there is still the same problem the app says that is not installed but ramdisk went from yes to no
You're more likely to get the help you need if you ask your question in the right place. We have a Galaxy S7 section. This is why Rule #1 is to search before posting! We will move your thread there.
An unlocked bootloader is absolutely necessary to root. Rooting means you're modifying images on the device; a locked bootloader will prevent flashing modified images. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, that's your first step.
I personally haven't had any luck patching the AP file in Magisk either. My suggestion is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, then flash Magisk in TWRP. Use the latest version of Magisk - 25.2.

Hm.. then maybe it's true your device does not have boot ramdisk? or the patching failed and removed ramdisk somehow?
try again with "Recovery Mode" option enabled when patching. note you have to press the volume button for recovery mode each time you boot.
@V0latyle recent versions of Magisk running Zygisk may have incompatibilities
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ices-with-old-kernel-3-19-s7-included.4447029
Magisk-v23.0.apk is last version without Zygisk (but afaik you still can disable Zygisk in recent Magisk).

Zygisk is disabled by default, you have to manually enable it when setting up Magisk after root

OEM unlocking should be like the boot loader.
i tried using TWRP and i followed this video doing all the steps
but after the final reboot magisk app is not there and if i try to install it manually it's the same as the immage i already posted.
I found out searching online that after root ramdisk should go from yes to no and that worked. But i don't know why it never says that's installed

It seems like you misunderstand several critical concepts.
First, OEM unlocking DOES NOT unlock the bootloader itself. It simply allows you to. After enabling OEM unlocking, you have to follow the process to boot the device into unlock mode, then you have to follow the prompts to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe the device.
Second, the Ramdisk indication in Magisk simply indicates whether or not the device has ramdisk. This does not change, regardless of whether or not the boot image or system has been patched with Magisk. The only thing you need to look for is Installed: <Magisk version>. If Installed: N/A then you do not have root.
All you need to do is install TWRP, and if you're going to be using the factory firmware, flash the Multidisabler. Then, install Magisk through TWRP. When you reboot to system, you should have root; you'll need to install the Magisk app, but once you do, you should see the version of Magisk next to Installed as described above.
@V0latyle I think paoloooooo is right (see his screenshot) and bootloader is unlocked (otherwise phone wouldn't boot after flashing magisk_patched.tar)

I thought a locked bootloader will prevent flashing anything custom?
right. but afaik it's possible to flash on semi-locked bootloader after the OEM toggle was enabled, but vaultkeeper still armed. at least that is the mistake you're refering to, many people struggle with...
guys thanks for everything i literally don't know why but i tried one last time with patching immages and it had the same error as the immages.
2 days after, i looked into it again and i don't know how but magisk was installed.
Thanks for everything and sorry choosing wrong section and not being very explicative.

Yeah, it would seem that a user would have to do things one of two ways:
Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, IMMEDIATELY boot into recovery (do not allow boot to system), wipe /system and format /data, install custom OS...this should prevent KG from interfering
Unlock bootloader, flash multidisabler, wipe data, boot to system, connect to Internet, ensure OEM Unlocking toggle is still visible, if it is KG should be disabled
