OK, I have root'd / custom ROM'd every Android phone I have owned (about 5 now).
After reading a bit, I ordered the Exynos version for the S10E and this was delivered:
SM-G970F/DS
Baseband version: G970FXXU3ASIE
Build Number: PPR1.180610.011.G970FXXU3ASIG
From what I have read, Root, Magisk, TWRP & Custom ROMs should be possible, but I have not yet found a good walkthrough / instructions for achieving this for this S10e model. Who can point me in the right direction?
I have already tried this method for Root / Magisk....
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
However, it keeps stopping short of fulling Unlocking the Bootloader, which is quite early in the process.
What other options can be done to achieve getting a custom ROM on my device?
Thank You for any help you can provide with this goal!

Hi
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S through Optus here in Australia. Like many others, the phone is running frustratingly slow. After reading many articles on this, I have decided to root the phone, then run the one click lag fix. Rooting will also allow me to use Titanium Backup which I am keen to do.
I am very new to all this phone stuff and so far, every rooting method I have tried has failed to work (2 methods involving downloading an update.zip, one automatic method through a PC). I think this may be because my Australian phone is slightly different to the galaxy's that the root guides were created for.
My phone specs are:
Build number: Froyo.DTJP5
Baseband version: I9000DTJP3
Firmware version: 2.2
I'd greatly appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction for applying root to this phone. Or if anyone thinks there is a better option for speeding the phone up, please let me know.
you can either apply a one click lag fix (available in the market) or follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Model #: SCH-I535
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: I535OYUDNE1
Kernel version: 3.4.0 (May 20, 2014 KST)
Build number: KOT49H.I535VRUDNE1
SE for Android status: Enforcing SEPF_SCH-I535_4.4.2_0016
Hardware version: I535.10
So i just got this S3 for really darn cheap in great shape. I figured i wanted to root and use custom recovery and then maybe try some new roms. But it comes to my attention through like all the helpful tutorials that the bootloader is locked and there is almost zero guarentee that even the one that have done this will work without many issuses. so im just seeing if anyone thinks its worth it to try with this phone or look else where and deal with 4.4.2
Of course its always worth getting rid of all the bloatware ! I have a galaxy S3 rooted with the liquid smooth ROM and love it .
The bootloader is not locked I had to root it and remove the battery on reboot in order to pass it or it will try to reload back to default also took a few times .
I would say it is worth it to root. From there your choices are limited since you are on 4.4.2 with the NE1 bootloader.
I bought such a device in May, proceeded to root, install SafeStrap, and then flashed the SuperLiteROM.
NOTE, there are only three ROMs safe to use on an i535 with the NE1 bootloader.
DO NOT try to flash a custom recover such as CWM or TWRP.
to quote myself from another thread:
I picked up a used i535 a few months ago as a device to mod and learn. I had no intentions of using it as my daily phone - I'm on AT&T with an i747. I found it was already on the NE1 bootloader and modem, I hadn't read enough before purchasing.
I was able to root it with TowelRoot. Following that I installed BusyBox and then installed SafeStrap Recovery for devices with the NE1 bootloader, see here.
From what I have seen there are three ROMs available to this device on NE1; stock NE1, SuperLiteROM, and Paul Pizz. This thread is a good resource for all but Paul Pizz, which is here. I after installing SafeStrap I flashed SuperLiteROM to the stock slot, it seems to avoid some issues when flashed here instead of a secondary slot. Since then I have installed XPosed framework and have several mods working with no issues.

Hello there, i just purchased a second hand At & t network unlocked galaxy s6 and want to root and install custom rom like noble rom etc in it because i am tired of At & t bloatware. so i want to know that how i can install it? is there any issues of bootloader locked etc? currently i am on lollipop 5.1.1 and software is up to date.... in odin menu it says
system status: custom
Reactivation lock: Off
knox warranty: 0 (0*0000)
I want a summarized instructions which i couldn't find anywhere else... so posted here.. urgent help is much appreciated
AFAIK, the AT&T variant (920A) has a locked bootloader and therefore you cannot install a custom recovery image (like TWRP) to traditionally install custom ROMs. You may be able to install a ROM via Flashfire once you root via Pingpong, as folks in the Xstre ROM thread have reported they could indeed install that ROM (provided you're already on MM and have the MM bootloader/radio on the phone). I actually just returned a 920A for a 920I for this exact reason.
You may also find success in the "Samsung Debloater" tool, search for that - I used this on an AT&T Note 4 about a year ago and it worked well to disable the carrier bloat.
I've rooted and used custom ROMs on past phones such as the Samsung Galaxy series but now I am the owner of a very niche phone in the form of the Doogee N20 and I was wondering how to go about rooting it successfully without the help of a large user-base that has already figured it all out beforehand?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Afaik rooting methods are pretty universal. You need to patch a file called "boot.img" and flash it to your device with fastboot.
To patch it you need magisk canary. And to flash it you need fastboot and your phone's drivers.
Here is a video doing this on a OnePlus 8 :
You can try it yourself and see if it works. It seems you're not new to rooting, custom ROM install so you know the classic disclaimer "I'm not responsible for your phone, you did it, not me..."
Good luck.
(I personally didn't try this method since my phone is 5 year old and rooted from the beginning, but this new way of doing it is pretty convient)
Hello, I am looking for direction on how to approach this. I have a ASUS Zenpad Z10 (ZT500KL - Verizon) that I want to update to a newer version of android. Since the manufacturer no longer sends out updates to the tablet the only option I am left with is to root the tablet. However I am not sure hot to go about rooting and flashing an android device. Any tips or guides on the process (any specific to this model would be best) would be greatly appreciated. If there's a simple tool that flashes my device for me that would be great but I understand I would probably need to root the tablet first. I've never rooted any android device and It's difficult to find consistent guides online on the process. From what i was told Verizon locks the bootloaders of all their devices meaning root and flashing custom roms is impossible. Thank you for your time and consideration.
