Hi,
I am using samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900R7, i am able to root this phone then started trying flashing of custom boot.img contating custom zImage. ODIN is showing successful flashing , but when i am restarting its always going in download mode with error message "couldn't do normal boot" . In download mode there is a line "QUALOCM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE". I doubt this is beacuse of locked bootloader.
I want to know is it really beacuse of locked bootloader?
I downloaded kernel for my phone model from samsung official website mentioned below and built in same way they have given instruction, so i ahve less doubt on custom zImage.
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=900r7
if yes then i have second question is it unlockable or not, i am not getting any unlocking method for samsung galaxy S5. whatever info i am getting regarding unlocking is upto galaxy S3 but not helpful for galaxy S5. PLease help me to come to a final conclusion on flashing custom zImage to phone.

As far as I'm aware most Samsung devices if not all have unlocked bootloaders, as for a soloution I haven't seen anything really but some say you need to re-flash stock then try from scrath or make a backup after reflashing stock and a custom recovery then format and restore to get it working.

Thanks a lot for your reply,
I searched regarding this and i found latest samsungs are coming with KNOX security in which SECUREBOOT is there, which doesn't allow phone to boot with any boot image if chacksum value doesn't match. so i feel even if bootloader is not locked here but same thng KNOX security is doing. Help me if you have any idea how to disable it in samsung galaxy S5. Getting way how to disable in previous series but not finding method how to do for galaxy S5.

Hi,
Yesterday night you posted a link, that link was good but still my requirement is different.Yesterday i was not able to go through whole link you provided to me, today i was reading the whole article. its looks like they are trying to save warrany of phone even after flashing custom ROM. They are deleting bootloader contents of flashing ROM, even i will flash custom ROM with deleted bootloader contents, In phone bootloader will remain same with KNOX SECUREBOOT feature. My target is to flash with KNOX disabled bootloader so it will not stop booting with custom zImage.

Actaully that link was removing KNOX from firmware which you are going to flash not from phone if you have already KNOX is there. That is for if your mobile is not having KNOX and you dont want KNOX when you are going to flash with recent updated firmware so you can delete KNOX contents from firmware and can flash.

Guide to rooting a Samsung Galaxy J-3 achieve wrote it out on Samsung Notes can't figure out how to get it on here it's more like a book
Is Magisk the only root option available for the SM-J337P? (Galaxy J3 2018 J3TOPELTESPR) This device is actually quite decent, the Exynos 7884a which is simply an underclocked Exynos 7885, is a fairly good SOC, gaming on this device is fairly good, it beats the octa-core snapdragons until you get to the snapdragon 636 & 660 which have a better GPU, there are a large number of these devices out there, I only purchased this device to use it unactivated, I paid ~$87 for it back in November 2018 & use it daily, it performs very well, for having such a small battery 2600mAh it has good battery life, & doesn't get hot when gaming.
Looking for files Plus combination for J337PVPS2ASA1 could anyone help me out?
Has this rooting method ever worked on any Samsung Galaxy J3 of 2018?
In the Google Drive link above from rpdsr66 is the most detailed step by step rooting instruction found anywhere yet but has anyone actually ever completed the process successfully on any Samsung Galaxy J3 model of 2018, particularly the Achieve? Someone please post your results here below in confirmation of success or failure so that hundreds do not sabotage their phones. Most importantly, warn us all of 'what not to try' since that seems to be the most plentiful knowledge available so far which will steer us away from the wrong direction into the right direction.
Apparently there isn't a way. I've searched until my head is swollen, headaches from searching so much. Gah!
He reach tf
Magisk only
You can root your phone by Magisk.
But, SM-J337P has NO TWRP recovery. (TWRP Builder site's file is corrupted. It causes bootloop.)
Thus, you can install Magisk by boot image patching.
Boot image patching method is here ↓

Warning ) Must use "patched odin" when you flash Magisk boot image.

Where from?
Hello,
I don't use M12, but I know that M12 is a device that is very similar to A21S. (the only difference is lack of some sensors+nfc, addition of 90hz display, and bigger battery)
Recently, I was able to successfully root A21s with some modification to the Magisk app, to bypass a problem in the kernel that tricked Magisk into causing boot loop. After this, I thought M12 might have similar problems, since it is pretty much the same phone as A21S.
When I looked at the kernel source and boot.img of M12, it seems that it has the exact same problems that prevented A21s from getting Magisk to work on stock ROMs.
This means that when M12's stock ROM is patched with Magisk, it can cause boot loop.
Since I don't have the device, I can't test anything. Is there anyone who had successfully rooted the device with Magisk? (I saw one thread that gave instructions for root, but there has been no report that it had succeeded or failed)
Already rooted 2 weeks back but yes method is different. i used MagiskManager-v7.5.1 App to patch boot.img and it does only half work but yes we need to add extra steps like how new magisk version does towards packing boot.img manually.
note - the thread which you mentioned towards rooting will never work i mean you already mentioned reason.

I recently bought an M23 5g, had a Moto g7 plus. I've never had a Samsung cell phone before. I don't know what happens to the phone after rooting. I saw that on other Samsung smartphones, because of the Knox protection, some apps and features stop working, so I was in doubt about the fingerprint, as it has the Knox logo when unlocking it. Can someone who rooted the M23 5g tell me if it continues to work normally the fingerprint? What other functions does it miss?

i don't have M23 but i have another samsung, i can tell you my experience. After flashing Magisk, you'll need to wipe you data (knox **** will block your phone otherwise), i didn't lost any features, except Payment apps, and fingerprint work. Don't worry your phone will work normally if you root it

I came back here to tell my experience rooting the M23 5g. Yes, the fingerprint works great with the root and face unlock too, but some apps of Samsung dont work anymore like: Samsung pay/wallet, secure folder, health and all other's. So i find a module Lsposed called: Knox Patch. With this module, only samsung pass and pay dont became to work, other work great. The bank apps i recomend use magisk module call shamiko, all my bank apps work with this, but you will need put the apps on negation list of magisk before and resetart the smartphone. Puting google wallet on magisk negation list you can use this app and dont need anymore the samsung pay. So, the unic apps you realy lose with the root is the samsung pass.
OBS: For me, when i'm installing the root file on ODIN, the M23 dont boot without factory reset. I have a botloop and stuck at screen with factory reset option, after the reset magisk app apper for me normaly and work's great, so remember backup your files before rooting.
For all user's.
the price for this one is nice for its specs, considering to buy it and install TWRP and some custom rom like lineageos or something, can I pm anyone who did it?

There is no custom tom for this phone
Found some great tools for generating device trees, I want to make sure flashing TWRP, and/or Lineage OS is possible before buying this phone (In my case the SM-M236B/DS). Can someone please try it out for me? Luckily it's based of the Snapdragon 750G 5G, so it should be easier than making a device tree for an Exynos. (thanks Samsung).
Here are the things I found:
Firmware:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-m23/firmware/#SM-M236B or
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-M236B
There is a database of already dumped device trees but I doubt there is a device tree for SM-M236B/DS
https://dumps.tadiphone.dev/dumps
You could always try to download it straight from Samsung, but I don't know how to do that.
Tutorials:
Found this really easy to follow tutorial about using Dumpyara a device tree dumping tool.
https://baalajimaestro.me/posts/extract-vendor-2/
TWRP build guides, this is the best guide I found, kind of complicated but still realy useful
https://gist.github.com/rokibhasansagar/15c8e728d94a6bd35a687aac73ef79a5
Haven't found any Lineage OS build guides for unsupported devices but I've found a build guide for /e/ os, it should be similar (/e/ os is based of Lineage). (if you find one pleaaase tell me)

make a patched magisk boot image and flash it. Then flash vbmeta_disabled. Lastly, go to lineage recovery and wipe data and fastboot flash the GSI.

Where i can get vbmeta disabler? And how I can flash this via fastboot? Through TWRP?
Okay so i succesfully flashed crDroid gsi. Here is a tutorial:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Using Odin flash a13_5g_fastbootd-recovery.tar
in AP slot in odin
3. After restart immediately go to recovery and you should see option "enter fastboot", select this and your phone should go into fastbootd mode
4. Now launch fastboot on your PC type fastboot devices if it shows your device that's good.
5. Copy your gsi to adb/fastboot directory and type: fastboot flash system <name of gsi>.IMG
Now flashing should start.
If flashing complete succesfully FIRST go to recovery and select FORMAT DATA. After data is formatted reboot your phone.
Now your phone should boot up with your gsi tom.

Odin runs on a PC under Windows. (Saying you downloaded it to an SD card made me think you were trying to run it on your tablet.)
Try to use the Search function on the site. There's probably a thread on rooting the S7 Edge. There's definitely a thread on Magisk.
Here are the Magisk installation instructions.
Don't start with "I don't know anything, somebody tell me how." Read a lot of posts, at least learn some words.
Was I wrong to assume you want to root your tablet? What made you decide you wanted Odin? What is stopping you from Googling "unlock"?
Before you do anything destructive, find and download a copy of your current ROM, so you'll be in a position to recover. You can test burning a ROM without unlocking the bootloader, as long as it is an official Samsung-packaged ROM.
Good luck.

Well, you can't. Odin is an IBM PC program that runs under Windows. It is used to ship ROM files to a Samsung tablet. The tablet must be in "download mode".

Find the S7 Edge forum for help unlocking.
Odin is not part of unlocking. Odin is for downloading software to the device. I think you can use Odin without unlocking -- you will only be able to flash images. You could try flashing a stock image for a different language, just to see if it works. (Pick a language you think you will understand well enough to see how to change the language back to your preferred language.)
A separate step, with no reference to Odin, is unlocking. I think it is usually delete any Google account you have attached to the device, enable Developer Options, enable "bootloader unlock" in Developer Options, reboot to recovery or download mode (I'm not sure which), expect some message like "hit Volume Down to unlock" (could be Volume Up), accept that it will wipe data.
Once you are unlocked (verify by booting Android again, and checking the Developer Options to see if the "unlock bootloader" option is still enabled, but is now greyed out), you can try using Odin to download non-stock software. In particular, it is at this point that you might try to flash a Magisk-patched software to try to install Magisk. With Samsung, as of when I did it, installing Magisk will again require wiping data, so do not spend a lot of time configuring your device between unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk.
