hi just bought the phone but i think the owner messed around with the bootloader but not sure, how do i check if the bootloader is still locked ?
You can't unlock or lock the bootloader. It is unlocked by Samsung already if you're using international variant.
You can check if a custom image (kernel/recovery) installed before or your current kernel/recovery is custom or not.
Just go to download mode and pass the warning. You'll see some info on screen. If "KNOX WARRANTY VOID" is 1, a custom image (kernel/recovery) installed before on your device. If CURRENT BINARY is CUSTOM, your current kernel/recovery is custom.
Hello everyone.
I come to you because I've searched a lot about S5 VRZ on the XDA forum. My purpose is to root my phone with the latest Magisk version (at least 14.0) and maybe to install a custom Rom on it too (I saw Phoenix v15 which could work f I'm not wrong). But I'm new in rooting and in customizing my phone, so I come here to request your help.
Those are my phone informations :
1) Before doing anything on it I had this : Galaxy S5 VRZ - Android 4.4.4 - BootLoader version ANK2
2) I followed this guide with CID 15 : [GUIDE] Root, Bootloader Unlocks, and More!
At this point I didn't saw this thread which told me I probably did the wrong thing in step 2: [GUIDE] painiac's Essential Guide to Galaxy S5 Flashing, Rooting, Fixing, Customizing
But now I did and after doing step 2 guide I'm in this configuration : Galaxy S5 VRZ - Android 6.0.1- BootLoader version QB2
My phone still work but I don't really know what to do, if I'm right or wrong ? I'm unrooted now, trying to reinstall Magisk on another way.
So my questions are:
What to do with this configuration to get rooted with Magisk version 14.0 at least ?
And after, which custom ROM may I install on my phone and how ? (links are welcomed ofc)
I would really be glad if someone could help me to solve this situation. And I thank everyone who'll fully read this thread for the attention you paid to it (and also because I'm french and probably don't speak a really good englsih ^^')
Thank you for you help and have a good day ! :good:

If you want Magisk, you probably should install it.
It's usually is installed via TWRP recovery as a flashable zip file.

If you don't have TWRP recovery, you probably should install it.
It's usually is installed via Odin as a flashable tar file.

You can only flash TWRP into SM-G900V if the bootloader is unlocked.
Unlocked bootloader looks like this (MODE: Developer):
If you still have not unlocked the bootloader, then you probably should try to do it.
It can be unlocked on the devices with CID15 (determined with this tool, first two digits in CID line).
Hi everyone, I am new to rooting and custom Rom flashing. My question is that is it possible to flash bootloader with twrp? I have a exynos s7 and it has been rooted. I have accessed twrp too. After January update the bootloader has been changed (updated) and now you cannot downgrade to android 6 with the bootloader (only Rom of Android 6 can be installed but bootloader will be of Android 7). So I was thinking of changing the bootloader!
Trying to downgrade the boot loader could hard brick the phone.

Could or would ?
Is there some cases with hard bricked phones reported ?
Search around, not just the s7 forum but all Samsung forums starting with the s3.
Samsung bootloaders for some of the USA carriers are locked. In cases where the bootloader is unlocked, it does not mean the bootloader can be downgraded to an earlier version.
I am looking forward to unlocking my bootloader and installing twrp then rooting but I am unsure on which Galaxy J7 version I should get? Please tell me which version I should get.
To unlock the boot loader - go to Settings, Developer Options.
Make sure OEM Unlock is enabled.
For TWRP- go to twrp.me, look for devices, Samsung. Select Samsung Galaxy J7 Exynos SM-J700 (j7elte).

Hello and thank you for your support.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A01 (A015M), which I want to install TWRP and then flash GSI rom. I have already the bootloader unlock (thanks to android 11 update) and rooted it.
Does this TWRP works on A015M?? I am trying and I do not get pass from "File analysis.." from Odin with twrp.tar in AP.
Can you explain a little more how to disable AVB?
Thank you.
Edit: Still I can not pass over "File analysis" from Odin, so I will wait. Thank you.

You need to update to Android 11 first, then do the normal method to unlock (connect your smartphone to PC, enter in download mode and unlock).

Well, you can update to Android 11, unlock your bootloader and then go back to Android 10 flashing a stock rom with Android 10. You will get Android 10, and unlocked bootloader for root if you want, you do not lose unlock bootloader for flash android 10.
I did that, and now I have Android 10 with root.

Sorry for the wait, you need to descompress your AP file from your firmware, inside there is a bootloader.img (or similar name), put it in your smartphone then install Magisk (without root yet) and patch the file. Here there is better guide:
How to Root Samsung Galaxy A21s using Magisk (Android 11)
Samsung Galaxy A21s is a budget smartphone with great features and decent performance. But there are some limits to what the phone can do without rooting

(This also works for A015M)
You need to follow this guide from STEP 3, but give you time to read the full article.
