Hi everyone
I recently acquired a galaxy s6 smartphone
It soon had an OTA update that upgraded it to Android N(7.0)
I have researched on some topics relating to its root process but most people have complaint of some errors, ranging from failed root to brick, from bootloop to sudden crashing and then restarting normally.
If anyone has successfully rooted this model on Android 7.0 ,please reply.
I would quite the comment up here
Thanks in advance

@sasabo79 If u didn't root your phone yet
Follow the steps in this video https://youtu.be/BV1ELmu8T0I & that's it.
DO NOT USE supersu. USE & flash Magisk v14.0 (stable) from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589 Download latest Magisk Manager as well
So the steps are:
From the links in the video, download the specific twrp for g920f/i (g920i is basically g920f except for a network band. So everything compatible for g920f will be compatible for g920i). This one https://eu.dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroflte.img.tar The first file.
Install the Samsung drivers from the link in the video on your pc.
Download & extract Odin.exe.
Enable usb debugging on your phone.
Put your phone to download mode
Start odin. Follow the steps in the video to install twrp
When install is complete, immediately reboot to twrp to flash Magisk v14.0. Wipe Dalvik.
Reboot. Install latest Magisk Manager
Check status in the Magisk Manager.
Done.
If not rooted, flash magisk.zip again in twrp
SuperSu gave problems to some users. Magisk was successfully installed in the first shot!
No need to wipe data etc. Only wipe Dalvik after flashing Magisk. U won't lose any data

Yes, it will work on all Android phones. Nowadays, Magisk became a famous root because it has cool features. The best feature of it is that you can hide root for specific games or programs like banking app wich can't open while the phone is rooted. I will write quick and simple below for how to flash Magisk.
1. If your phone is rooted flash unSU.zip
2. Flash Magisk v12.0
3. Wipe Dalvik/cache
4. Reboot and wait to update the programs about 10-15mins
5. When the phone is booted install the MagiskManager v4.3.3. which is not available in PlayStore anymore
6. Open Magisk and go to settings
7. Enable BusyBox and Magisk Hide (This will pass the SafetyNet security)
8. Go back tap to check SafetyNet (It will be green coloured) and you're done
Now u have Magisk with a rooted phone and a lot of features inside
Sweet...Thanks a million... I think I start from scratch anyway with flashing a stock rom...
so, just to be safe, I flash stock (let it boot and make the initial setup)
then flash recovery, and there I flash the Magisk file and at last install the
Magisk app and thats it... or is there something else, I've seen ont the S8 tutorial
that there is another file to be flashed in recovery... but I assume this has something to do with security features from Android 7/Samsung...
So, i have a Note Edge SN 915G stock ROM 6.0.1
Tried to flash in ODIN custom recovery TWRP so I can flash Magisk from recovery. It didn't work, because the reboot restores the stock recovery back.
Tried again by not rebooting and removing the battery after flashing in ODIN the TWRP. The custom recovery remained flashed, this time, but it didn't open: recovery is not seandroid enforcing error.
Flashed CWM second time with ODIN, removed battery, boot into recovery (CWM worked and opened successfully).
Flashed Magisk zip from the custom recovery, but after reboot ended into boot loop, soft brick with error Set Warranty Bit: kernel.
Reflashed stock firmware with ODIN, back to normal.
Any adivce on how to flash that darn Magisk properly?
Thank you.
PS: I did not wipe davlik after flashing Magisk, though. Could this be it?

Thanks a lot for the tips I have a question: After installing Magisk, I want to get Xposed installed, but it bootloops me at the Samsung logo every time, with the zip sdk23 of xposed by the official thread of rovo89 (thanks for his great work), and also with the xposed 23 at Magisk Manager. Did you get it systemless Xposed to work with Magisk in our Note Edge?
telefon notum kenar n915f magisk'in en son sürümünü indirmek istiyorum ancak indirmek istediğim sürümü indiremiyorum v 22.0
I want to download the latest version of magisk but I cannot download the version I want to download is v 22.0
Hi peeps,
Root an S7 SM-G930W8 on SM-G930W8_1_20190110160127_itm7x65trh_fac or (Rogers latest Factory Image). Magisk isn't showing up on first boot after installation.
Followed Guides:

&
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-oreo-samsung-galaxy-s7-exynos/
Both from scratch and factory fresh. Any ideas why Magisk isn't installing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

How do you know root not installed? Did you check with root verify app?
Magisk remains hidden untill you install magisk manager from play store
make sure OEM unlock is off before flash.

Have you install Magisk Manager manually and it not rooted. OEM Unlock is part of the guides, so yes, that instruction was followed. Strangely, TWRP booted back into after all this can't detect file systems like if it were part of the Format part of the guide.
Oh and Magisk has been removed from the Play Store for a while.
I can't root my S10e. I installed TWRP 3.3.1-103_ianmacd and I installed magisk 20.4.zip. But In Magisk Manager, it can't detected root. Is it TWRP problem or Magisk problem?
model : SM-G970N(Exynos)
Android : 10(Q)/OneUI 2.1
Samsung packs some serious anti-tamper security into their phones, meaning installing Magisk isn't as simple as flashing a zip through TWRP. Read the instructions for Samsung devices, and double-check that you understand everything before following the steps - you'll end up wiping your data at least once, even if you're doing it properly.
Thanks
My phone is rooted! Thanks!

At first: backup data and phone memory.
You can do local update (download from official web site oneplus https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_045_all_2004142201_bdd6fdc6b6b1477f.zip, v.10.3.3 or from nonofficial sites 10.3.4, copy to phone memory, main directory, go to settings and system update, make local update - and choose copied file from phone), next after update and restart, do wipe cache, restart and you will see what happend.
Try to read oneplus guide:
How to upgrade system?
Download the software build for your device on this page. Please back up your data before flashing your device.
Plug your phone into your computer and copy the downloaded .zip to your phone’s storage. If you’re using a Mac, you can install Android File Transfer Android File Transfer for this operation.
After the .zip file is copied to your phone, go to 'Settings' - 'system update', click the 'settings' icon on the top right corner, choose 'Local upgrade', find the .zip file and click on 'Install' to confirm.
The update takes about a minute (depending upon the file size), once done reboot your device to boot into the latest Oxygen OS.
So, I rooted my phone, for which I needed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Now, when I want to install an update on my phone, it downloads and when I want to install it, it jumps to TWRP recovery instead of the phone's recovery, so I can't update my phone. Does anyone know how can I install the updates from TWRP?
Else, reinstall the default recovery. (Only the recovery, not the entire OS since that would un-root my phone)
Thanks.
Edit: After it boots to TWRP, it apparently tries to install the update, since I can see it on the log, but when I reboot my phone it has not installed. It errors: "E3994: This package is for "2169B" devices; this is a "". Updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file '/data/ota_package/OTA/.otaPackage/my_manifest_RMX3370_11.F.04_3040_202302282047.44.36402b59_all.zip'
Edit 2: After failing to install it, it prompts me to re-download it and re-install it, but it jumped from ~500MB update to 4.76GB update.

I read in telegram channels, this twrp: https://www.pling.com/p/1922292 support installation latest zip. but I haven't tried.
one more thing you can do is ( may loose data)
1. restore twrp backup for recovery partition ( if you don't have backup. search recovery.img in upgrade zip )
2. reboot to recovery to check stock recovery is installed
3. install update
4. then follow steps to install twrp and magisk ( root again )

Your guide is incorrect and will definitely put the device into bootloop.
** The twrp link that you shared doesn't allow system updates to install, it is just a A13 compatable twrp recovery.
1) What if that person has not created any twrp backup of all system partitions? According to his explanation, I'm pretty sure he has not created any backup of the partitions.
2) only flashing recovery image and installing the update will again put the device into bootloop because as confirmed by the OP that his device is rooted and due to root the boot image of the device gets modified so it will put the device into bootloop.
3) unless the OP has stock boot and recovery images at his disposal he should not attempt to install the update to avoid bootloop.
** Kindly avoid sharing incorrect information you aren't sure about the correct procedure.
procedure that I follow to flash updates :
1) in magisk - uninstall magisk - restore images
2) boot device into bootloader and flash stock boot and recovery.
3) boot device and install update.
4) put device again in bootloader and flash twrp and within twrp flash magisk and reboot.
I haven't found any easier way than this. If anyone has, kindly put it below.
There's a way
