Hi All A7600F Owners,
I have successfully ported a CM13 MediaTek ROM over to our beloved Lenovo A7600F.
Updated 14/12/2016 To fix non-booting ROM
This is for the original tablet only!
The ROM was pre built so I have not compiled it from source, however I have put in many hours to optimise and tweak various aspects to try and ensure a stable experience. I am not sure who to credit for the initial ROM compiling, so if you feel this is you work let me know so I can credit you properly.
If you flash this it is at your own risk, your warranty will be void and I will not be responsible for any bricks! I will however offer advice where and if I can.
I know this is not a very popular device so It may be that no one tries this ROM, if you do please could you leave some feedback for me.
Now on to the good part.......
Rooting The A7600F
1. From 4.4.2 and 4.2.2 this can be gone easily with the KingRoot app.
2. Here is a file and script that will replace KingRoot with SuperSu if you wish to stay on stock Lenovo ROM.
KingRoot2SuperSu
3. If you are flashing CM13 you do not need to waste time changing the root app.
Installation Of Custom Recovery
1. You must have a custom recovery installed. I have only tried this ROM with TWRP. This is the version I have been using;
A7600F TWRP 3.0.2.0
2. Once downloaded unzip and place the recovery.img in the root of your internal storage on the device.
3. Install a Terminal emulator app form the play store or open up the app if you already have one. Once opened type the following and hit enter.
su
If the app has not been opened before it will now ask for root permissions. Grant it.
4. Type the following command to install the recovery.img to the right place and hit enter.
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery bs=16777216 count=1
Now the recovery is loaded into the correct place.
User @cato1986 has pointed out that once rooted the TWRP image can be installed with the flashify app.
5. If you are not flashing CM13 you can now power of the device. Press VOL+ and Power to boot into recovery or if you have adb enabled you can type.
adb reboot recovery
From the command line of your PC.
6. If you intend to flash CM13 now would be a good time to download the ROM and Gapps and place in the internal or external storage of your device.
Installation of CM13
1. Download the ROM Here.
A7600F CM13 ROM
Get Gapps (I prefer the nano version).
Open Gapps
With the ROM and Gapps stored on your device boot into recovery. (Power off, VOL+ and Power) or via adb.
2. In recovery go to wipe. Now go to advanced wipe. Select only the following and nothing else.
Dalvik/ART Cache
Data
Cache
System
3. Return to the main menu. Go to install and select the CM13 ROM. Install it. This can take a while.
4. Go back to the main page in recovery and install your Gapps zip straight away. Once finished wipe Dalvik/Cache and hit reboot.
5. Hopefully it boots past the original Lenovo screen. The 1st boot can take a while.
6. Run through setup. CyanogenSetupWizard will warn you that the sim is missing. Ignore this I am working on a fix. This is the only place left the the system seems to think a sim should be installed.
7. Profit!
What Works
Wifi
Bluetooth
Cameras
Audio
Microphone
Almost everything I have tried
What Doesn't Work
GPS?
If you find anything else let me know.

black screen, doesn't boot
i am having the same issue, i get the lenovo boot animation and then the screen goes black and stays black. I also do not have a backup of my system.... so i basically have a device that does nothing. can someone create a backup image that you can use TWRP to restore your device???

I will check this out. It works fine on my device, however it may be a corrupted upload. I won't have a chance until later to sort it or get a backup image for you. You can use the SP flash tool for the A7600F but if you aren't comfortable using it I will post some instructions for it later.
Regards
I have tested the ROM and it works fine on my tablet. If you are experiencing problems and you please confirm that you are flashing on the Lenovo A10-70 A7600-F 10 inch Wi-Fi only Tablet with the MediaTek MT8121 chip....... The boot image in this ROM is not compatible with anything else. Ensure you are not trying to flash on the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F it will not work.
Can anyone else who has tried to flash it on the correct device confirm it works? It has had nearly 30 downloads but no one has left any feedback. It would be great if you could leave a note of this ROM works for you.
Regards
Lee
not working
That's the model i have, but it shows a black screen. I'm not new to flashing either. I have several custom ROM devices. So I don't think it is something I'm doing wrong. Suggestions?
I'm one of the 30 guys who downloaded the ROM.
Thanks so much for the effort you put into building this rom.
Unfortunately, in my case, the tablet doesn't get past the Lenovo boot screen after installing the rom.
I didn't know there was a Wifi- only version of this tablet but i looked it up, and mine is the A7600F with the MediaTek MT8121 chip.
Nevertheless, there seems to be a Sim Card Slot ?
I will give another try later

Are you using the TWRP from the OP? It seems like a boot image issue. If you are using the TWRP from the OP? Are you performing the wipe and does TWRP report any issues when wiping or flashing?

Hey there, my copy is working as well.
It looks great. I do have a question, is anyone else having trouble flashing full or super OpenGapps? I can only flash the smallest. And hey thanks a lot for all the hard work. I wish I knew how to contribute.

I am not sure but I think the system partition is too small to flash the bigger Gapps packages.
Glad it is working now. I am just looking to fix the GPS as it doesn't appear to work currently, I don't know if you anyone else can confirm this.
Let me know if you run into any problems.

Finally The wait is over
For all of you outside waiting for Global Firmware ROM... here it is:
I have tried it in a LEO-BX9 working flawless... last version received with chinese firmware by OTA was NXH19R
As previously done text is copied from giangishanghai as most are applicable. Thanks @giangishanghai for all the help and the patience :angel
- Make sure you have ADB activated on watch and all files needed on your pc (there are plenty of guides on xda so please search and read it if needed).
- Download 7z file from here : https://mega.nz/#!ozB12QrD
Decription Key
!U6_ZwGwPNUNj3P0PCfpsDtVoGpPG_x1csvR8I1ECOqU
-Edit: You will find 6 .img files:
bootloader, boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata.
-EDIT: In this link you will find whole Recovery software and images if needed:
https://mega.nz/#!YiZkjKyR
Decription Key
!vlUDAZz3mEJsSOpKYgbX5YaITUN59uL3YaVRSOtpVcU
-Edit: Before going to Bootloader, make sure ADB is working and your watch is recognized properly:
Run
Code:
adb devices
Result should be your Watch ID and the word "device" (unathorized or anything else will not work, when unathorized appears make sure to check your Watch for a prompt to authorize something, as it is in Chinese, choose the option with more characters - third one as I remember-)
-Boot the watch into bootloader mode
shut down the watch, press the power button and quickly press twice when the first vibration finished.
-Use the following commands one by one:
(DO NOT flash the bootloader.img)
IMPORTANT!!!: Make sure to run ALL commands below, from the ADB folder, where you have to previously copied all 6 *.IMG files, otherwise you will receive a lot of errors.
For Example if your ADB folder is in C:\adb, the command prompt should be in "C:\adb" so you make a DOS dir command and you see all 6 *.img files plus some ADB files
Then start with following commands one by one in exact order....
fastboot oem unlock (no needed if you already unlock your watch)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
DONE!!
EDIT: ****PLEASE READ IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY TOUCH ISSUES******Thanks @mcdull
I were able to flash the rom without any issues. HOWEVER...
Originally I suggested NOT to temper with the bootloader so that we can keep the very low level of the device untouched to prevent hard bricking.
But I experienced inaccurate touch screen after applying the ROM. And then I finally convinced myself to flash the bootloader to see if it can fix it.
It is now confirmed that flashing the bootloader will NOT change the model number. So the device model is determined by its hardware. And I can check the FCC of Leo-bx9 in official website, so there must be somewhere in the world selling this BX9 with global rom.
What's more important is that the touch screen is now working perfectly. All part of the screen is now touchable and accurate.
All in all, if you have any touch issue, you may be able to resolve it by flashing the bootloader. Bare in mind that Huawei can be told that you have tempered the bootloader if they dig deep. But I am prepared to give up the warranty for a Global Rom.

*****END OF EDIT******
After all this steps your watch reboot and the first thing you will see is a message in English, then you can choose the language you want.

[Rom][NWD1.170711.002] Huawei Watch 2 BT LEO-B09 Chinese Fastboot [Factory Images]
I finally have uploaded the Chinese version of the Factory Images, and here is the link:
https://www.jianguoyun.com/p/DRcrvN0Q3O-HBhjeiTQ (The file is currently under transmission by the time of this post. It should be available within hours.)
On download completion, find the .exe file in the zip archive and open it with any compressed file manager, where you will see several .img images. Flash them right onto your watch following the instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...09-leo-bx9-t3616779/post72542838#post72542838 with ADB and FASTBOOT tools.
It works quite perfectly on my watch. Nevertheless, I am not responsible for any possible damages.

Hi, I flash your images, everything works normally expect notify. When notify appears on phone, there is no vibrate and no sound on wear, just notify card shown silently.
My wear had global version system, but Google Map gave a wrong location, so I try China version.
I use light flow to test notify. When I open option "silence phone while wearing watch", phone doesn't sound too but still vibrate. If I close this option, phone sound and vibrate. But watch always doesn't action.

I tried the international image on a LEO-DLXX, works fine, but without the SIM capabilities (4G, calls and etc), and during the boot there is a message about being using a different operating system. I suppose you'd get the same with the Chinese version.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my pleasure to present the latest stock Oreo 8.1 (Beta) ROM for Xiaomi Mi A1. Up till now, only a handful of testers were able to use the stock beta 8.1
But now, everyone has the opportunity to use it on their device.
Disclaimer:
If you are planning to flash the ROM on your device, you are on your own. I would not be responsible if anything happens to your device. Your warranty will be void after flashing the ROM. You need to go back to stock stable ROM with a locked bootloader for Warranty.
Requirements:
1. Xiaomi Mi A1 (Ofcourse)
2. A PC (I am using Windows 7 here)
3. The ROM file (Available on the link below)
4. MiFlash Tool ( Link: http://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html ) (A big thanks to Miui forum for making the tool available on miui forum)
5. ADB Platform tool (Search on google)
6. Patience
Installation Process:
1. Download the ROM file from the given link and unzip it.
2. You will see a folder with name as tissot_images_V9.6.2.0.ODHMIFE_8.1
3. Keep it on C drive
4. Install MiFlash Tool on your PC from the given link
5. Set up ADB driver properly on your PC (It's very important)
6. Now go to your device and enable Developers option by tapping on Build Number 7 times.
6. Open Developers Option and enable "OEM Unlocking" and "USB Debugging" option.
7. Now press and hold the power button and Volume down button for about 10 seconds until you see a small bunny on the screen.
Now connect your device to your PC and open a command box and type fastboot oem unlock
8. Once the bootloader is unlocked, put your device in fastboot mode again and connect it to PC. (BE WARNED!!! if anyone is on May security patch, unlocking bootloader will erase everything from the device and device will restart again. You will need to unlock developers option again and enable "USB debugging" option once more)
9. Now open MiFlash Tool and see if it reads your device serial number by clicking on "Refresh". Now, select tissot_images_V9.6.2.0.ODHMIFE_8.1 and click on "Flash". Make sure you are doing it in a proper way.
10. Wait until you see a "Flash Done" message on the screen. It may take around 5-10 minutes. Once done, your device will boot into system and Congrats! Now you have Oreo 8.1 on your device with June security patch.
N.B. It is best that you select "Clean all and lock" option on MiFlash tool.
Flashing Guide For TWRP & Custom Kernel:
1. Grab the latest twrp recovery image (Oreo) and twrp installer zip file.
2. Put the recovery image in ADB folder and the installer zip in your device.
2. Boot your device into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
3. Make sure the bootloader is unlocker.
4. Open a command box and type fastboot boot xxx.img (xxx= recovery image name)
5. Once your device is boot into twrp, flash TWRP installer zip file and reboot back to recovery.
6. Now flash the custom kernel of your choice and Magisk (optional).
7. Reboot back to system.
Important Note:
If anyone has any problem understanding the steps, I would recommend that you google or search on Youtube. There are lots of Videos showing on how to flash stock ROM on MiFlash tool. Please don't blame me if you skip any step or do it wrong. I have shared the standard steps that remain the same for flashing both stable and beta rom. It is advised that you STAY AWAY if you don't know what you are doing. I am certainly not going to take any blame for improper flashing. As you have decided to flash the ROM, I expect you to have a little knowledge about how to use MiFlash tool. A lot of newbees have problem at first, especially when flashing rom on MiFlash tool. That's because of selecting and flashing the rom file in an improper way. You need to first learn exactly which folder to flash or else you will always end up on a bootloop. Please don't blame me for not spoon feeding you.
Bugs Encountered:
I have been using the ROM for two days and I am yet to find any bugs except ctsProfile shows as false and Google Play Store shows Uncertified.
*For better battery life, you can try Void kernel (Choose the stock version).

It doesn't wipe data partition like what was happening on May security patch. And I haven't noticed any bug as of now. Some people said battery life is not that good. I can't comment on that as I use Void kernel.
Seems like a lot of people have some sort of issue with this post. First of all, this is not a custom rom and I didn't build it. So, if there is some sort of bugs on the ROM, that's not my fault. Second, yes I brought the file from somewhere else so that more people can use it. So, what is the problem here? Before you point your finger on me for a bootloop or bad battery life, you should read the disclaimer first. When you decide to do any experiment with your device, you should have a fair amount of knowledge of what you are doing. Before sharing the file on XDA, I flashed and tried it on my device and there was no bootloop or any other issue whatsoever.

It doesn't wipe data partition like what was happening on May security patch. And I haven't noticed any bug as of now. Some people said battery life is not that good. I can't comment on that as I use Void kernel.

Seems like a lot of people have some sort of issue with this post. First of all, this is not a custom rom and I didn't build it. So, if there is some sort of bugs on the ROM, that's not my fault. Second, yes I brought the file from somewhere else so that more people can use it. So, what is the problem here? Before you point your finger on me for a bootloop or bad battery life, you should read the disclaimer first. When you decide to do any experiment with your device, you should have a fair amount of knowledge of what you are doing. Before sharing the file on XDA, I flashed and tried it on my device and there was no bootloop or any other issue whatsoever.

If you just share a rom build by someone else, this is the wrong section of the forum to post it.
Too, you say (in op) you have permission from xiaomi to post it here in xda. This sounds unusual. Do you have any proof for this claim?
Thread cleaned.
Thread moved to the guides section where shared ROMs belong. The redirect from development section will expire in 24 hours.
:good:

hahahah oh wow
the best joke i ever seen
seriously
copyright to leaked build? hahaha i can't stop
Closed beta ROM, so no point in "allowing" you to share it. They could open beta and do it themselves.
I call fake news on that
You share a rom from another forum. Okay. It was already been shared in XDA by the original poster in 4pda.
I call this reposting in the same forum.
You state that the ROM isn't yours and you "share" it with other people on XDA. And then you say reposting is stealing? Didn't you repost it as well? For you is not stealing but for others is?
Conclusion: Are you that desperate for attention?
Is this the official beta rom?

How did you manage to get permission from Xiaomi? Have some proofs?
Xiaomi released July security patch a couple of days back. However, as always, a lot of people didn't receive it yet. But the wait is over. Now everyone can update their device to the latest security patch.
Disclaimer:
If you are planning to flash the ROM on your device, you are on your own. I can not be held responsible if anything happens to your device. Your warranty will be void after unlocking the bootloader. You need to lock the bootloader for any warranty.
Requirements:
1. Xiaomi Mi A1 (Ofcourse)
2. A PC (I am using Windows 7 here)
3. The ROM file (Available on the link below)
4. MiFlash Tool ( Link: http://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html ) (A big thanks to Miui forum for making the tool available on miui forum)
5. ADB Platform tool (Search on google)
6. Patience
Installation Process:
1. Download the ROM file from the given link and extract it.
2. You will see a folder with name as tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_20180712.0000.00_8.0_735823083f
3. Double click on the folder and open it. You will see another folder with name as tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_8.0
3. Copy the folder into the C drive. Remember, you need to copy tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_8.0 and not the main folder.
4. Install MiFlash Tool on your PC from the given link
5. Set up ADB driver properly on your PC (It's very important)
6. Now go to your device and enable Developers option by tapping on Build Number 7 times.
6. Open Developers Option and enable "OEM Unlocking" and "USB Debugging" option.
7. Now press and hold the power button and Volume down button for about 10 seconds until you see a small bunny on the screen.
Now connect your device to your PC and open a command box and type fastboot oem unlock
8. Once the bootloader is unlocked, put your device in fastboot mode again and connect it to PC. (BE WARNED!!! if anyone is on May security patch, unlocking bootloader will erase everything from the device and device will restart again. You will need to unlock developers option again and enable "USB debugging" option once more)
9. Now open MiFlash Tool and see if it reads your device serial number by clicking on "Refresh". Now, select tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_8.0 and click on "Flash". Make sure you are doing it in a proper way.
10. It may take around 10-15 minutes (for me it took around 11 minutes) to get the process completed. Once done, your device will boot into system and Congrats! Now you have Oreo 8.1 on your device with July security patch.
N.B. It is best that you select "Clean all and lock" option on MiFlash tool.
Flashing Guide For TWRP & Custom Kernel:
1. Grab the latest twrp recovery image (Oreo) and twrp installer zip file.
2. Put the recovery image in ADB folder and the installer zip in your device.
2. Boot your device into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
3. Make sure the bootloader is unlocker.
4. Open a command box and type fastboot boot xxx.img (xxx= recovery image name)
5. Once your device is boot into twrp, flash TWRP installer zip file and reboot back to recovery.
6. Now flash the custom kernel of your choice and Magisk (optional).
7. Reboot back to system.
Important Note:
If anyone has any problem understanding the steps, I would recommend that you google or search on Youtube. There are lots of Videos showing on how to flash stock ROM on MiFlash tool. Please don't blame me if you skip any step or do it wrong. I have shared the standard steps that remain the same for flashing both stable and beta rom. It is advised that you STAY AWAY if you don't know what you are doing. I am certainly not going to take any blame for improper flashing. As you have decided to flash the ROM, I expect you to have a little knowledge about how to use MiFlash tool. All newbies have a problem at first, especially when flashing ROM on MiFlash tool. That's because of selecting and flashing the ROM file in an improper way. You need to first learn exactly which folder to flash or else you will always end up on a bootloop. Please don't blame me for not spoon feeding you.
Bugs Encountered:
LED notification stays still when a notification comes in. It doesn't blink.

Basically, looking for attention and thanks.
He has been doing this for every update even though there are other threads that are much better and more organized
He even claimed that he was in the beta program when 8.1 beta was leaked even though he was asking around on where to get beta update.
Rowdy, you should honestly stop making pointless threads that already exist and start being more respectful to other members
In his defense. This link is AFH, while still not wonderful, it is usually SOOOO much faster than the damn MIUI links. (at least in my experience)

Listen, this is the second time I am telling you not to be personal. If you don't like something, report it to the mods. XDA is not your personal property. So, you don't get to judge people here. I checked all the post for July OTA and then I posted it here. The particular post you are talking about, I checked it prior to creatingmine. He didn't have the ROM uploaded when I created my post. It's not my fault that he uploaded the July fastboot ROM without checking mine. I have already asked the mod to check both his and my post to see who uploaded the July fastboot ROM.

Are you sure that post has the July fastboot ROM? I checked his post prior to creating one. He didn't have the ROM uploaded. If you see both my and his post, you can see who edited the post later. It was he who posted the July fastboot ROM later. I have already asked the mod to check both his and mine post to see who uploded the post first. Till then, you may wanna stop being sarcastic.

And talking about attention and thanks, I am not going to be rich by getting a few thanks. You might have joined XDA for thanks, but I don't find any pleasure or point of getting thanks and attention on a software development community. You should think first before attacking someone. You might have forgotten about the "Report" option, but I didn't.

I checked all XDA post prior to posting mine. XDA gives you an option to check all similar posts while you are creating your post. I went to each post and checked if anyone had uploaded the July security patch.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...-ota-links-t3718542/post74828108#post74828108 (I checked his post at first and when I created my post, he didn't have July fastboot ROM uploaded).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/download-opr1-170623-026-9-5-4-february-t3758090 (This guy gave a headline of July fastboot ROM. But I didn't find V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE anywhere on his post)
Now, it's not my fault if someone uploaded the July fastboot ROM after I posted it here. I don't know why some people act violently (not you) towards others.

Well, the warranty remains intact only if you use a miui based handset. But since Mi A1 runs on pure AOSP, Xiaomi doesn't provide any warranty after unlocking bootloader (confirmed with Xiaomi customer service).

Hi, yes you need the MiFlash tool as this is a fastboot ROM. And it is not necessary (but suggested) to wipe the internal storage. You can select your desired option on the MiFlash tool. If you want to keep your apps and data, you can select "Save user data" on MiFlash tool and flash the ROM.
we only need one thread about stock roms. Let's make it easier on everyone and keep all the info in the same thread.

Hi guys
Hope all are well. I really really need someone to help me with a todo guide to get this done.
I phone is currently using the latest June security Patch (Odin Flashed) One UI 2.1
I am so confused about the instructions on various sites and youtube. The Videos on there is about 6 months old. I tried installing TWRP via a guide i saw online, but could not get it done.
Now when my phone starts i get a bootloader unlocked warning message. This is fine. it still boots into Android 10, and is perfectly usable. Can someone who did this, please point me in the correct direction? I tried last night for hours, could not get it done.
The sequence of events etc are all different on the sites, and some does not make sense.
I hope i can actually do it on this version, as i see alot of the threads are April 2020'ish,
Thank you so much guys!
Hi guys...
No one? I will be so grateful

Thank you. I have seen instructions OK but they all assume that reader has a basi understanding of jargon and steps to take. I want to root, I guess it's called, but just need a step by step of what to do.

Check out this guide from the TWRP thread, it might be good to read the first page or two of the twrp thread aswell so that you dont miss any important info. Also make sure that you get the right TWRP file for your specific firmware version. Good luck

By clicking on the button below you will get a set of instructions, step-by-step, on how to install Ians excellent work with TWRP as a recovery for your device and John Wu's root via Magisk.
This is not the fastest or most uncomplicated tutorial to do this. It is, however, made to make sure as many as possible succeed. So if you feel that a step or two is uncessesary, this tutorial is probably not for you since you most likely already know enough to just go by Ians more direct instructions. So dont PM me with tips on how to simplify these steps, I already know about that and that is not the point of the tutorial.
The instructions are intended for:
The user that either is completely new to this world but have managed to get an unlocked bootloader beforehand
The user that just want to have some instructions to follow to not forget a step in the process
Please note that the tutorial should work just fine for the S10E-device, but there might be another set of key combinations for your device, please take care to understand what you need to do in specifics to do the same presses of buttons.
It is strongly encourage to flash lates stock firmware and do a complete clean system install before using this tutorial. However, if you know what you are doing, it will work fine with an already rooted system as long as you have the latest Canary build (both magisk and magisk manager) on your device when patching the TWRP-image and the firmware AP-file per instructions below.
Where ever you decide to start, know that your device will be wiped and you need backups for your relevant data before you begin.
These instructions are ...
.. an "add-on" till John Wu's Magisk solution that will make your device rooted with Magisk and having Ian Macdonalds TWRP-recovery
.. for those who have already an unlocked bootloader - DO NOT attempt this without first making sure you have "OEM Unlocked" enabled
Step-by-step guide:
A) Follow John's instructions HERE until you get to step 5, then return here
B) Download latest TWRP-image by Ian Macdonald for your type of device in the first post in this thread
C) Download latest multidisabler-zip by Ian Macdonald and copy it to your SD-CARD - download here
D) Copy the TWRP-image to your device and do the same as you did with the AP-file in Magisk Manager (Install->Install->Patch file and choose the TWRP-image)
E) Copy the patched TWRP-image and magisk_patched.tar to your computer
F) Rename the patched TWRP-image to "recovery.img" on your computer
G) With your own choice of program on your computer, open the "magisk_patched.tar"-file, remove the existing recovery.img and replace it with your newly patched recovery.img and save the tar-file
H) Boot your device to download mode
I) Go back to John's instructions and IGNORE step 6 and DO step 7 and come back here!
J) We now need to factory reset our device:
-> Press Power + VolDown for a few seconds to get out of download mode
-> AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK: Press Power + Bixby + VolUP and HOLD THESE KEYS FOR A LONG TIME until you see the bootlogo of TWRP, then release the keys
K) In TWRP, install your downloaded multidisabler-zip from your SD-CARD and DO NOT REBOOT
L) In TWRP, format data (not only wipe, choose specifically "Format data" and write "yes" and go ahead and after DO NOT REBOOT
M) In TWRP, go back to the start screen - choose "Reboot" and choose "Recovery" AND NOTHING ELSE - DONT touch any keys on the device
N) Go back to John's instructions and begin from step 12
O) All done - you know have a rooted device by Magisk, with TWRP as recovery - enjoy and be sure to thank Ian Macdonald for the help with TWRP and John Wu for Magisk root!
