[ROOT GUIDE] T860 root no TWRP method - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion

This is an advanced guidance.
I will explain exact procedure presuming other things are already known for those who are know what are they doing.
Therefore, if anything goes wrong I don't feel responsible for whatever you do.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Device will, format itself. Do initial setup without setting anything because you will need it to format again.
3. Boot device and turn on OEM unlock and USB debugging in to developer options in system settings.
4. Reboot device again.
5. Download stock firmware (you can use FRIJA or SAMFIRM tool from XDA.)
6. Unpack firmware zip
7. Connect tablet to your PC
8. From folder of unpacked firmware COPY AP file to your tablet SDCard/Documents folder.
9. Download and install latest Magisk Manager.apk on tablet.
10. Open Magisk Manager you will see "Magisk is NOT installed" in red letters but no problem.Set it EXACTLY like on picture 1.
11.Click "install" and you will see screen on picture 2.
12. Select "SELECT AND PATCH A FILE" and select that AP firmware file you previously copied from your PC
13. Magisk will start to patch a file. When patching is done...
14. Close Magisk Manager and open your SDCard/Documents folder on tablet. You will find there "MAGISK_PATCHED.TAR" file.
15. Copy that file from tablet to PC
FLASHING
Turn off tablet and put it in download mode
1. Open on PC patched ODIN 13.3 or 13.4 and UNTICK "reboot automaticly" on ODIN settings
2. Select files for flashing BL to BL, CP to CP, CSC to HOME_CSC....
BUT EXCEPT ORIGINAL AP FILE SELECT "MAGISK_PATCHED.TAR" FILE !
3. Flash all files to your tablet and disconnect from PC when ODIN finished
4. Reboot tablet into recovery and format data and cachee ! Restart tablet and wait few minutes to load
5. Set up tablet as usually.
6. Install Magisk Manager.apk and open it...It will do some patching updates then reboot itself.
7. Open Magisk Manager again and install Magisk zip from manager. Manager will root and reboot device itself.
8. You have a root without TWRP
.
To keep this guide short, same video procedure I found here...It is for S10+ but applicable for this tablet as well.
ROOT WITH MAGISK
.

Thank for that clarity .. i just get an Tab s6 and i needed i simple and recent tutorial.

This guide worked perfectly. The one with twrp didn't.
Thank you.

This didn't work for me.
3. Flash all files to your tablet and disconnect from PC when ODIN finished
4. Reboot tablet into recovery and format data and cachee ! Restart tablet and wait few minutes to load
I can't get into Recovery Mode to format. It freezes on the boot logo, I'll hold Volume Down + Side Key to power off, Volume Up + Side Key to boot into Recovery Mode but it just tried to boot normally and freezes on the boot logo.

Is it better to root first or flash TWRP.
EDIT: Duh!!

Before step 10 ensure that you have a Wi-Fi connection. I think Magisk requires it. Magisk would not produce the drop-down till I connected to the internet. Then everything worked fine.

Good man, thanks so much!

You need to restart tab after flashing BUT again in DOWNLOAD MODE...not in recovery ! Then flash TWRP and restart in twrp recovery.You need to untick AUTO REBOOT in Odin before flashing TWRP.

Not able to shutdown
After rooted with Magisk,my Tab S6 is not able to shutdown,no matter which methode I use,it just restart itself.
Does anyone have this issue?

worked perfect on oneui 3.1 aswell thank you

I rooted my Galaxy Tab S6 using the Magisk-only method after updating to Android 11. I had trouble with the post-Odin step (pressing power and volume up right after screen turns off) so I had to do the flash a couple more times before I got that right, and everything shows as rooted now.
However, my 256GB internal storage is only showing up as 32GB! Is that a firmware thing, or a partitioning thing? How can I fix it?

Used ther same method on my rooted tab with the May update (T865XXU4CUE1_T865OXM4CUE1_DBT) - magisk-patch AP, flash all files in Odin, after reboot the device is rooted.
BUT after another reboot (or rather shutdown and boot), root access is lost and cannot be restored in any way until I re-flash the device with the same firmware again.
Any solution to this?
6. Install Magisk Manager.apk and open it...It will do some patching updates then reboot itself.
7. Open Magisk Manager again and install Magisk zip from manager. Manager will root and reboot device itself.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This never happens. I even uninstalled Magisk Manager after patching, flashed the firmware, reinstalled the latest Canary Manager, still no patching or reboot happening.
Edit: just rebooted and shutdown a few times, root sticks. Before, I held VolUp as described in many guides until the "secured by Knox" logo appears, now didn't touch any button except Power.
Oh well...

Awesome, it worked perfectly! Thanks so much! There's like no development for this device, so very happy to see root finally working.
Thank you very much! I've rooted the VK6735 with this for about a month now.
Although some root software said it could root this phone; it didn't. I kept searching and finally saw this method.
Everything is working fine (except it takes the phone a little longer to boot).
Installed a couple of root apps and Xposed modules en hadn't had a problem with them.
Thanks

Samsung SM-J105F root

can somebody with a recovery that I can mode to run on my phone help? I am tired of using 360root.apk I want to use SuperSU and not these apps with Chinese interface
Here are the steps I followed after some extensive reading of other peoples methods and trying every possible app that would not work:
How to install TWRP and root the Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini (SM-J105F)
The device is powered by a Spreadtrum chipsets and Android 5.1.1
Basically what you need to do to root your Samsung, is to install/flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, which other than the limited functions of the OEM recovery, has all the features you need to flash a custom rom. You then boot into this TWRP recovery and use the touch menu to install/flash the SuperSu xx.zip file to give you root. It seems that other methods to root do not work on this specific phone.
Here is an Odin3 flashable *.tar md5 TWRP file that will also make it possible to root your Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J105F, unfortunately it has to be paid for. Find it here: http://www.saroms.co.za/product/samsung-galaxy-j1-mini-j105f-root-file/ - and follow the bellow steps to flash the TWRP custom recovery and after rooting your J105F Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini.
Note: Odin3 only flashes with xxxx.tar or xxxx.tar.md5 files. TWRP can also flash xxxx.zip files.
To get into Odin mode or Download mode on the phone, switch off phone and unplug any cable to your PC or charger. Now hold in the Home button, the lower part of the volume button (V-) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot into a recovery screen and if you push the top part of the volume button (V+) you will switch to the Download screen. Only now can you plug your phone into the PC and run Odin3
Once TWRP recovery has been loaded, do the following to boot into TWRP recovery: Disconnect any cables to charger or PC. Switch off the phone. Now hold in the Home button, the upper part of the volume button (V+) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot showing the Teamwin screen and then the menu buttons which work from the touchscreen.
If you do not want to pay for the correct TWRP recovery for your specific device, then use Google to search for the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar
1. Download the following files:
(i) OEM Samsung firmware for your phone in case you have to fall back and reinstall the firmware i.e.
XFV-J105FXXU0AQA3-20170329071250.zip
(ii) TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar or any other custom TWRP recovery file for your model phone.
(iii) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
2. Go to Settings > About device > Software Info > and tap on Build number a few times until you are a developer.
3. You should now see and tap on 'Developer options' if you go back to Settings.
4. In Developer options. turn on 'OEM Unlock' by moving the slider to the right, Enable. Never set that setting to off once you have loaded a custom firmware or TWRP custom recovery! You phone will brick and only show *“Custom binary blocked by FRP lock” after the next reboot!! (FRP = Factory Reset Protection)
* If so install OEM firmware with Odin3 and start again.
5. Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip file to the root of your internal storage SD card (not external). This will be installed by using TWRP recovery. Use your PC to do this.
6. Turn the device off and boot into "Download Mode” (V- and Home and Power ... and then V+)
7. Run the Odin3 application on your PC and load the recovery *.md5 file under 'AP' or load the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar.
8. Connect the MS-J105f to your PC and let Odin3 connect and ID:COM will go blue and show i.e. 0 : (COM4) > then click Start.
9. The SM-J105F will power on when done. Disconnect cable and power it off again.
10. Boot into recovery (V+ and Home and Power) will now boot into TWRP.
11. You will now see the TWRP menu touch screen.
12. Tap Install > scroll to the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip" file you downloaded and copied to the phone memory tap it.
13. Swipe at the bottom slider to confirm install.
14. Tap Reboot to system when done and you should be rooted.
15. Install and run SuperSU from the app store and run.
16. Install and run Root Checker Basic.
To reinstall the OEM firmware, download the proper xxxx.zip from the Samsung website.
You must the extract the xxx.tar.MD5 file from the download
If you can get into the Download screen on your SM-J105F then use Odin3 as above, just under PA select the OEM file xxxx.tar.MD5 (it takes a short while to select properly as it a very large 2 gb file after extracting)
Hope this helps someone else. Thanks to all whose posts and contributions helped me.

[Guide]How to root Samsung Galaxy C9 pro (SM-C9000)

Hi! After struggling in rooting my C9 pro (SM-C9000, TGY) due to the lack of a proper guide, I decided to provide my guide to the community.
Of course, I don't take responsibility for damages etc. etc. Read the entirety of the guide before doing anything.
Useful shortcuts: Holding down power+volume down for a couple seconds force reboots from almost anywhere. Vol up+home+power while booting boots into recovery. Vol down+home+power boots into download (odin) mode.
Step 1) Fetch the required files(sorry I can't post direct links):
Nougat 7.1.1 firmware from sammobile
Oreo 8.0 firmware from sammobile
Odin https://www.xda-developers.com/update-firmware-any-samsung-phone/
Magisk Manager https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ (The link that says "Download the latest Magisk Manager APK here")
ADB https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
CROM Service apk from apkmirror
Step 2) Prepare the files
Unlock developer options on your phone by spamming Build Number in Settings> About Phone> Software Information. Enable USB debugging from developer options. Connect your phone to your PC via cable. Extract ADB (platform-tools) on your desktop (or other location). Extract Oreo firmware. There should be 5 files. Copy the one that starts with AP into platform-tools folder. Open the platform-tools folder. Hold down shift and right click inside the folder. Choose "Open PowerShell window here" from the context menu. Type or copy-paste
Code:
.\adb devices
to start ADB. On your phone, check "always allow on this PC" and click OK when prompted. Enter the code again and check if a device appears on the list. Then type
Code:
.\adb push AP_C9000ZHU1CSC1_CL14667562_QB22709761_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 /sdcard/
.(Change the name of the file corresponding to yours. You can change the destination to another folder in your phone. Ex. /sdcard/download/) This will transfer the file from your PC to your phone. Do not drag and drop the file. This might corrupt it, causing a bootloop upon installiation. (Happened to me initially. Recovered & used the push command to get it to work.). Transfer Magisk Manager's apk to your phone or download it directly from your phone(you can drag and drop this one, as it won't install if corrupted(it won't corrupt)). Install Magisk Manager on the phone(Enable sideloading if asked). In the app, touch the topmost install button and touch install again in the next screen. You will have two options: "Download zip only" and "Select and patch a file". Choose "Select and patch a file", then locate the AP file you transferred to the device. Magisk manager will patch the file and generate magisk_patched.tar in /sdcard/download/. In ADB, type
Code:
.\adb pull /sdcard/download/magisk_patched.tar
This will transfer it to the platform-tools folder. Again, don't use windows explorer to transfer. That will most certainly corrupt the file.
Step 2.5) Backup
Backup your data (you can use smart switch desktop program paired with mobile app to backup most of the stuff). Remove your google account from the device.
Step 3) Install Nougat 7.1.1
Extract Nougat 7.1.1 firmware. Extract odin. Run Odin.exe (might have version in name). Click OK. Factory reset your phone (You can do so from settings or recovery mode.). After the reset, reboot into download mode. It will ask if you're sure you want to install unofficial software, choose continue (If I don't recall incorrectly, the button for that was vol up). Plug your phone into your PC. Odin log should say "added!!" and you should see your device in one of the rectangles above. Now select the tar.md5 files extracted from the 7.1.1 firmware. Click the BL button, locate the BL_etcetc.tar.md5 file, click open. It will check the md5 for a second then let you click the next button. After choosing the BL(bootloader), AP(system), CP(radio) and CSC(localization) files (USERDATA button should remain empty, HOME_CSC file has no use) make sure only F.reset time and auto reboot are selected in options. Click start to begin. After flashing, it will do another factory reset and show you the setup.
Step 4) Unlock Bootloader
Skip everything in setup, then unlock develper options and you should see "OEM Unlocking" option that was removed in OREO firmware in there. Enable it. Next transfer the CROM service apk to your device (or download it directly). Install the app. Open it. Unlock the bootloader. (This step is required because C9000 is a Chinese phone)
Step 5) Install Oreo again
Boot into download and connect to odin. You can use the reset button to empty the buttons. Now select BL, CP and CSC files from the extracted oreo firmware. For AP, choose magisk_patched.tar . Start. If the installiation fails, you didn't unlock the Bootloader properly. The phone will reboot and factory reset a couple times. When it boots up, you'll have magisk installed.
Step 6) Things to do after rooting(optional)
First of all, magisk can hide root from Google, but not Samsung. Samsung Health, Knox secure container, Maximum power saving mode and Samsung pay won't work after you root. NFC will keep turning on on its own unless you uninstall Samsung pay. A samsung package (I'm not sure about the name but I think it was security log agent) will keep sending an unblockable notification offering to unroot. Uninstall that too, and you'll have a stable experience.
Recovering from fails:
If download mode refuses to install because of unofficial binaries, the bootloader isn't properly unlocked. Wait a couple seconds and force reboot with the key combination. Since it couldn't flash the system, that should reboot back to download mode (or recovery. in that case, choose "reboot to bootloader"). Install the official firmware, unlock bootloader and try again.
If the magisk_patched.tar file gets corruped and you flash the corrupted file successfully, your device will get into a bootloop. After the install, odin orders the phone to reboot into recovery to factory reset, but since the system image is corrupted, it won't be able to boot and produce a kernel panic. This will cause the phone to reboot, which will fail and cause it to try to reboot again. Since the phone doesn't get past the splash screen, this bootloop cannot be interrupted by button shortcuts. You should wait for the battery to die out for the bootloop to end. (It should take a day at max. Wrap a towel around it to block the vibration sounds if you want) After battery gets depleted, you need to perform a quick maneuver. You should plug the phone into a power supply (preferably your computer) while holding down volume down+home+power buttons. If you do it right, it will boot into download mode. (Otherwise, it will bootloop again. Simply unplug, wait for it to stop and try again) Flash the official firmware and repatch the AP file. Just in case you run into this issue, I recommend having less than 10% charge in your phone while flashing, just to make the wait time shorter.
Important: Check your firmware's baseband version from settings before flashing. In C9000ZHU1CSC1, CSC1 is the system and U1 is the bootloader version. Compare the bootloader version to the firmware you're going to flash and make sure they match. You can't downgrade bootloader versions. Flashing a previous version will brick your phone. (Probably permanently) This shouldn't be an issue since sm-C9000 has only one bootloader version, but check it anyways just to be sure.

Yes, I did root my SM-C9000 using this method, and it is working nicely. Obviously I lost access to Secure Folder and Samsung Pay. You should be able to install the Play Store version of Samsung Health. Maximum Power Saving froze the phone the first two times I enabled it, but it's working fine now. One unexpected caveat is that mobile hotspot started to turn itself off if mobile data is enabled even though my carrier has no restrictions on using hotspot. You can't share your data connection using Bluetooth or usb cable neither. You can still use the hotspot for creating a local network. Other than those, I didn't experience any problems after rooting. While I was rooting, I did the mistake of using MTP to transfer the image and as a result my phone bootlooped for half a day but if you follow the instructions, that won't be a problem.
Of course, I don't guarantee anything and don't take responsibility, but there is no reason anything should go wrong.

Sorry for responding late. Yes, that is the exact model that I have and rooted using the method in the post. If you feel confident, you can follow trough it and root your phone. You can grab the required firmware from Sammobile. Keep in mind that after rooting some features might stop working (like hotspot and knox-related features). Good luck!
I got the same model of Samsung phone. I follow the steps but till step five, when i press open the files in odin and press start button, the odin will disappear in my computer. Then i try again and it failed. My phone shows: unsuppoted dev types. Here are my photos. Do you have any ideas? And i dunno how can i redo it again to root my phone. Would love to see helps from you, thanks!

Sorry for the late response. Searching that on the internet, it seems you might be using an old version of Odin. Please make sure you're using 3.13.1 and try again

[Guide] [Root] Samsung Galaxy a7 2018 (a750fn) Root Guide + Working Secure Folder & Samsung Health

How to Root Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 (a750fn) + Working Secure Folder & Samsung Health
Hello, this is a guide on how to root Samsung galaxy A7 2018 (a750fn). I've tried to simplify the guide as much as I can but I still suggest to root your phone only if you know what you are doing! Also if you have any questions or problems, just ask.
Note: Sorry for any grammatical or spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.
!Disclaimer!
- You do this at your own risk! I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, stuck on bootloop etc.!
- Backup your device before proceeding forward!
- This guide WILL trip Knox so your warranty will be void!
- The Knox-dependent applications like Secret Folder and Samsung Health will stop working but in this guide, there are two other miniguides that will explain how to enable them even after tripped Knox. - All of these steps have been tested on my phone - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) (a750fn) where they worked without problems.
Required Software/Resources:
- Odin (for flashing) - Download
- Samsung USB Drivers - Download
- 7zip (for archives) - Download
- Firmware with the last security patch from 2020 (for me, the patch was from November 2020) - Download
- TWRP Recovery - Download
- Magisk (for root) - Download
- DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER (Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip) - Download
- A MicroSD card
Setup the Software/Resources:
1. Install 7zip
2. Install the Samsung USB Drivers
3. Extract Odin to a folder and put it on the Desktop
4. Extract the firmware to a folder and put it on the Desktop
In the firmware there'll be 5 files:
- BL_FIRMWAREVERSION
- AP_FIRMWAREVERSION
- CP_FIRMWAREVERSION
- CSC_OMC_OXM_FIRMWAREVERSION
- HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_FIRMWAREVERSION (delete this one)
Delete the files starting with HOME_CSC.
5. Change the Magisk extension from .apk to .zip (Ex. Magisk_ver.apk --> Magisk_ver.zip)
6. Put the Magisk_ver.zip in the MicroSD card
7. Put the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip in the MicroSD card as well
8. Insert the MicroSD card in the phone
Steps to Root:
NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING FORWARD, BACKUP YOUR DEVICE!
1. Enable Developer Options (by clicking 7 times the build number of your phone)
2. Open Developer Options and find the option OEM Unlock
3. Enable OEM Unlock (this will factory reset the phone)
- After the factory reset the OEM Unlock option will be enabled and this will allow
flashing custom recoveries and etc. to the phone.
4. After the factory reset, when the phone boots up, turn it off
5. Connect the phone to you PC/Laptop via USB cable
6. While the phone is completely turned off, hold the buttons Volume UP + Volume DOWN until Download mode shows up
7. Press Volume UP again to confirm that you'll be modifying your device
8. On your PC/Laptop open Odin
9. On the left side in Odin there are 3 tabs: Log, Options and Pit
10. Open Options and remove the checkmark on the Auto Reboot option, then go back to Log
11. In the middle of the program there are 5 slots:
- BL (Bootloader)
- AP (Application Processor)
- CP (Modem)
- CSC (Consumer Software Customization)
- USERDATA
12. Click the first slot and navigate to the location where you extracted the firmware
- The start of the names of each firmware file corresponds to the names of the slots in Odin
13. Place each firmware file in the correct Odin slot that corresponds to their names
(Ex. BL_FIRMWAREVERSION is inside the BL slot)
14. With your phone connected, press the Start button to flash the firmware
- After the firmware has been flashed successfully, your phone will be downgraded to the last security patch from 2020 which fixes possible bootloops or other issues when rooting/disabling forced encryption.
- The firmware is successfully flashed when the top left bar is green and above says PASS!
After flashing the firmware DON'T boot in Android yet!
15. After flashing, hold the Volume DOWN + Power button for around 7 seconds, immediately when the screen goes black switch to holding Volume UP + Volume DOWN
- You will enter back in Download mode
16. In Odin, press the Reset button and again uncheck Auto Restart in Options
17. In the AP slot, select the TWRP Recovery (which is in .tar archive)
18. With your phone connected to your PC/Laptop in Download mode, press Start on Odin
- This will flash the custom recovery to the phone
19. You can now disconnect the phone from your PC/Laptop
Again, after flashing the recovery, do NOT boot into Android yet!
20. After flashing the custom recovery, hold the Volume DOWN + Power button for around 7 seconds, immediately when the screen goes black switch to holding Volume UP + Power button
- This will boot the phone into the custom recovery (TWRP in this case)
22. Inside TWRP Recovery, go to Wipe, select Format Data and type 'yes' to confirm
23. After the format, go to Install, select the MicroSD card and find where you've put the Magisk_ver.zip file, select it and install it
- This will root to the device!
24. After you have installed Magisk, go back to Install, select the MicroSD card and find where you've put Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip and install it
- This will disable the forced encryption!
- If there's an error when installing the zip that says 'Failed to mount '/odm' (no such file or directory)", simply ignore it and proceed forward.
25. Go to Reboot, select System and wait around 5-10 minutes till Android fully loads
- After Android has loaded, proceed through the setup process.
26. Go to all apps and find the application called Magisk
- When you open it, it'll ask you to complete the installation of the Magisk app.
- It may also ask to reboot, to fully complete the installation.
27. After the application has been fully installed, your device will be Rooted and with disabled forced encryption!
Fix Secure Folder & Samsung Health
Note: TWRP Backup is recommended in case something fails
Samsung Health:
Required Software:
- A build.prop editor like this
Steps:
1. Install a build.prop editor from the play store
2. Give the build.prop editor root access
3. Open the editor and search for the line - ro.config.tima=1
4. Change the 1 to 0
(Ex. ro.config.tima=1 --> ro.config.tima=0)
5. Save and Reboot the device
6. After the reboot Samsung Health should work as expected
Secure Folder:
Required Software:
- Smali Patcher - Download
Steps:
2. Extract Smali Patcher.zip into a folder
3. Run as administrator
- Wait until it says 'idle..' at the bottom left of the program
4. Uncheck everything checked (like Mock locations, Mock providers, High volume warning etc.)
5. Check Samsung Knox
6. Enable USB Debugging on your phone
7. Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop
8. Press the ADB PATCH button
- A prompt will appear on your phone that asks if you allow your pc to do debugging mode operations on your phone.
9. Press allow on the prompt on your phone
- Wait until Smali Patcher is done.
- After Smali Patcher is done there should be a Magisk module inside it's folder.
10. Copy the Magisk module created by Smali Patcher to your phone
11. Open Magisk and go to Modules (the puzzle piece icon)
12. Tap on the button saying 'Install from storage'
13. Find the location where you've copied the module
14. Install the module
15. Restart your phone
16. If all done correctly, you should be able to set up and use Secure Folder

Rooting SM-T860 OneUi-3.1 and installing TWRP (UPDATE: Updating to latest version without losing data)

(EDIT)
OneUI 4.1 has finally arrived, if you haven't got your Tab s6 rooted, you can just follow the instructions below. This new part is for the people who followed the guide to root their Tab s6 and now want to update to the new firmware version without losing their data. This guide is inspired in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...te-rooted-device-whilst-keeping-data.4245989/. But for simplicity of search I have decided to place it here
(END OF EDIT)
I ran into some problems and took some time to figure out how to install TWRP and root the tablet. The normal procedure by which you flash TWRP and then flash Magisk doesn't work as the download mode won't accept non-official files.
Then, once I got my tablet rooted by the patching method of Magisk, I installed TWRP with their app and got stuck in the logo due to not formatting the data.
After some research and quite a lot of time, I managed to get around that and be able to do everything.
Here is a step by step detailed guide of how to do so.
ATTENTION: These modifications void your warranty and may brick your device. I am in no way responsible for any damage you may cause. Follow this guide at your own risk
Requirements:
-> Latest version of the firmware of your model (I used this site which had the latest version and decent download speeds https://galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-T860)
(To find which version to download, go into the Phone app, and type *#1234#)
-> Latest Magisk.apk file (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
-> Disbale_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt zip file (https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe)
-> Latest TWRP img (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/gts6l (europe) or https://dl.twrp.me/gts6l (americas))
-> Official TWRP tool (Play Store)
-> Samsung drivers (https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver)
-> Latest Version of Odin (https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin)
-> SD Card or Minimal ADB and Fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790)
(If SD card)
Copy Magisk, AP file from the firmware zip, Disable_dm zip and TWRP img into the SD card, else, you will have to use adb sideload
0. Create a backup of all your data (we are going to wipe the data of the tablet)
(Tablet)
1. Activate developer settings (go to Settings->About Tablet->Software information, and tap 5 times on build number).
2. Go into developer settings and activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
3. Turn off the tablet and turn it back on pressing Power + Vol. Down buttons to enter Device Unlock Mode.
4. Press and hold Vol. Up and in the next menu, press Vol. Up to unlock the bootloader (attention, this will erase all of your data)
5. Run through the setup, but be sure to activate the internet (this will prevent the tablet from relocking).
6. Activate developer settings again, and go into it to check that OEM unlocking is greyed out.
7. Install Magisk
(PC)
8. (No SD) Copy the AP file to the Tablet.
(Tablet)
9. Go into Magisk, press Install->Patch a file->Recovery mode (on)->Select file (The AP file).
10. Copy the patched file back into your computer.
11. Shut down the tablet.
12. Press Vol. Up + Vol. Down and connect the tablet to your computer with a USB to enter download mode.
(PC)
13. Open Odin, it should show that your device is connected.
14. Go to the settings tab and uncheck the Auto-Reboot option.
15. Flash all the files of the latest firmware, using CSC (not HOME_CSC) but substituting the AP file with the patched one. (With the WiFi version, you might not have a CP file, don't worry)
CRITICAL STEP (if not followed correctly, may lead to bootloop)
(Tablet)
16. Once the flashing is complete, press Vol. Down + Power during 7 seconds to restart the tablet. As soon as the screen blacks out, swap to Vol. Up + Power (and keep pressing even though it asks to press power) to enter the recovery.
17. In the recovery, navigate to Wipe data/factory reset with the volume buttons and press power button to select. Confirm and reboot.
18. While rebooting, you need to press Vol. Up + Power during 3 seconds (Until the press power to continue appears). This is due to Magisk being installed in the recovery partition.
19. Run through the setup again, but this time you need to login into your google account to enter the Play Store.
20. You should have the Magisk app installed. Open it and it will configure itself.
21. When it reboots, press again Vol. Up + Power for 3 sec.
22. Download the Official TWRP app.
(PC)
23. (No SD) Copy the latest TWRP image previously downloaded into the tablet.
(Tablet)
24. Go into the TWRP app and give it root permissions.
25. Enter TWRP flash and select the latest TWRP img
26. Go into the reboot menu and select reboot recovery.
27. The phone will reboot into TWRP.
28. Tick don't show this message again and slide to allow modifications.
29. Wipe -> Wipe data, Cache and Dalvik and Format data.
30. Reboot -> Recovery.
31. (SD) Flash Disable_DM-Verity zip, and then flash Magisk zip.
32. (No SD) enter the advanced menu and open adb sideload. Connect to the PC, open Minimal adb and fastboot and adb sideload the zip files.
33. Reboot system
Congrats, you have a rooted Samsung Galaxy tab S6 with TWRP installed!
FAQ:
1) Ok, I f* up, I am now stuck in the Samsung logo, what do I do?
Press Power and Vol. Down for 7 seconds, this will auto reboot your tablet. Then, as soon as the screen goes off, try to press Vol. Down + Vol. Up and connect through USB to the PC. With some luck, you manage to get into download mode. If you don't, repeat.
Flash the files with the Magisk modified AP, reboot into recovery and factory reset (follow the next instructions if you want to install TWRP), or else flash the stock rom.
2) I am seeing some screens with some warning messages, is that Ok?
Yes, it is normal, Samsung does that to scare people off from installing modifications on their devices. Can I take them off? Yes, but it is not a simple process. If you really want to, follow this guide, but adapting to the device (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sage-on-samsung-a30-after-root-device.3954589). Another important thing is, when you want to enter recovery, you need to keep pressing Vol. Up + Power, even when the tablet displays the message that asks to press the power button.
3) Don't know... You ask
Works perfectly, thank you!
I have a question: to decrypt the internal memory which files can I flash?
