I was able to follow instructions to patch the AP file with magisk. I saved it to my SD card, removed the SD card and put it on my computer and flashed it with Odin. I now have the unlocked Bootloader warning and the not Factory firmware warning. I cannot get Magisk to give me root access. When I Boot to recovery with volume up, Bixby, and Power, if nothing is plugged into the USB C port it will not go into recovery at all. If I press all three of those keys almost any length of time with the computer plugged into the USB C Port, it will go into Factory recovery. It will never boot with magisk giving root access so I can further install Magisk and Root Checker always shows not rooted. I even tried plugging in the USB C while holding the buttons, and even unplugging it while holding in the buttons.
Push.
I have the same problem. Flashed Android 11 with patched magisk AP but it seems like it does not start into the revcovery 'mode' (only factory recovery when plugged to the pc). Worked before with Android 9.
Connect the phone by computer and use ADB command reboot recovery...
With g9700 you can not simply reboot the phone, you always will lost root! You have always to turn off the phone by power button and then turn it on.
Thanks for your reply. However, if I do this, I only get into the recovery menu.
I cannot find any option to boot into recovery "mode" (where magisk is available).
The model is G970F if it makes any differences.
Hi, i had the same problem. I tried the flashing process again and again with Odin v3.14 from the beginning (patched AP only! No other files used) and finally it worked! First, after flashing hold the [power button + vol. down] for 7 seconds and when the display turns off because of the restart then immediately hold [power + bixby + vol up] until you pass all warnings and finally you will see the recovery.

OK, I have a GS3 here with a broken power button, which was causing all kinds of problems when the phone was running, and making it impossible for me to boot into recovery. I've physically removed the power button from the motherboard, and now I can boot the phone by holding volume down + home while plugging the phone into USB power. That gets me to Download mode, where I could just reboot to my ROM.
So that was fine, but I just made a booboo and when I was in recovery flashing a new ROM, I wiped Data instead of Dalvik, so now I have no ROM installed. I therefore have no way to reboot into recovery to fix the problem, the only thing I can boot to is Download mode.
So, is there a way to get to recovery mode from download mode? Some command in Odin or something? If not, I can still use Odin to flash it back to stock (pre-ML1 bootloader of course), re-root, flash a recovery, etc. but I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Answering my own question...
You can do this by booting in download mode (hold home and volume down while plugging in USB), then once you're in download mode, reboot (hit volume down button) and instantly hold down volume up and home. That gets you into recovery.
now i was looking for how to root my j2 prime because its what i use to login with my vpn then i use a proxy server on it to route all traffic connected to it while its in hotspot mode but it seems proxy servers have their limitations and so im forced to root so i can just hotspot the vpn directly with an app, but after searching i found 3 methods all using superSU which im not comfortable with anymore, all with many steps but in my experice since this phone has got nothing to lose i decided to experiment and boom it worked...

STEPS
1. BOOT PHONE IN DOWNLAOD MODE (power+vold-down+home)
2. FLASH TWRP in the AP OPTION in ODIN (untick auto reboot;very important) then after flash succeeds
3. Pull out battery and boot to recovery (power+vol-up+home)
4. FLASH MAGISK.zip from your SDCARD (Recovery wont be able to mount internal storage so make sure to put the MAGISK.zip in your SDCARD)
5. Reboot and Hello systemless root
credits to this thread where i was searching for root, includes link to 3 methods but mine is the shortest and easiest

I'm unable to start recovery mode. I pull out the battery and after pressing the keys the phone simply goes off. Also I'm unable to enter recovery mode anyway (after turning it off and not flashing anything). That's it, I can't enter stock recovery either.
I tried all button combinations and it just doesn't enter recovery mode.
Never mind, it was probably a faulty button. Pressing with force did the trick. I however employed a bit different path (or perhaps I wrote it down more detailed), which come out more noob like, I'll leave them here for anyone that might use them
Noob, baby steps to root the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532M:
1. Enable developer mode and selected OEM unlocking and USB debug, dunno if it's needed but I did it because in all roots I have seen this is a must.
2. Put the Magisk zip onto a SD card (currently Magisk-v18.0) and put the SD card into the phone. Then I turned off the phone.
3. Turn on the phone into download mode (power+vold-down+home), connect the phone to the PC.
4. Open ODIN and FLASH TWRP file using the AP button (VERY IMPORTANT, uncheck the auto reboot in options, otherwise the recovery goes back to stock I think and the phone will boot into the regular OS, and you'll have to flash TWRP again), wait a few seconds to the flash to finish (odin says PASS! in green).
5. From this screen without touching anything reboot the phone into recovery mode (power+vol-up+home) (just in case press hard the vol+ key). If it boots the phone in regular mode, do steps 2 , 3 and 4 again.
6. FLASH MAGISK.zip from the microSD. When finished wipe Delvik/Cache.
7. Reboot the system. Open the Magisk app (you might have to wait a few seconds for it to appear among on the apps) then press yes when prompted to finish installation as many times (2 times I think). And done, you have your phone rooted.
PD: Magisk can be found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
As for the TWRP file (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-g532_5617b.tar), use the one in the link on the OP.

why am i getting an error? it says
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Magisk-v17.1.zip' "
can i get some help here?
Good day!
Is disabling dm-verity and force encryption included in the process?
And also, everything works fine but how is that i cannot delete system apps manually? They're returning back after reboot.
Thanks.
Unable to detect the phone -win nor Lin
Hello guys
Something really extrange is happening.
My j2 prime -532G- can't be detected by Windows nor Linux.
The usb is working because it charges the phone, but I can't access the phone at all. I checked all the drivers in Win -google/adb and samsung- and in Linux libmtp/heimdall/etc.
I have tryed different usb -not the original one since i lost it-
Even when i start the download mode, nothing happens.
it there a way to root the phone without a PC? i have tryed also kingroot apk but it is useless.
Thanks

I can't seem to get this phone to go into recovery after flashing TWRP. It always goes into a normal reboot no matter how hard i press the button combination.
Any idea about how to make it reboot to recovery any other way

Any ideas

Did the phone trigger an Autoplay window (to ask you if you want "view files", "import media", etc.)
Did the phone appear in the file explorer (as a media player device?) with storage(s)?
Hi,
I've recently gone to rooting my Note 10, I've managed to get the bootloader unlocked. I've followed the rooting instructions with Magisk via flashing with ODIN and then doing a factory reset in recovery.
Basically, whenever ODIN is done, and I try to enter recovery for the first time, it just displays 'erasing' for a second, the phone reboots, and root and magisk don't seem to work. I'm fairly sure I followed instructions to the T. Any idea what could be causing the issue? My phone is the 970F variant. I'm using the latest (android 10) firmware with Magisk and then flashing the processed file.
Thanks!
You should keep holding volume up and power. Don't release any of button when flashing is done and phone is reboot.
Best way is to disable auto reboot in Odin and when modified firmware is flashed, simply reboot by holding vol down and power key together.
As soon as screen goes black. Relase vol down and press vol up and power key. Let the erasing do, don't release buttons at any stage. You will get into recovery.
Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 5G (d1x) device, rooted with magisk. The recovery key combo (Power+VolUp) is not working on the second reboot since flashing magisk (exiting download mode to be the first), pressing the key combo only gets me into a unrooted os. Issuing adb reboot recovery command from a pc will only get me into Magisk-enabled os, whether VolUp is long-pressed or not. After I tried to flash a TWRP image patched by the Magisk App using Odin, the situation remained same: key combo not working, adb command gets me into Magisk-enabled os. But if I use the Reboot to Recovery option inside the Magisk App, the phone blacks out for a few seconds after the Note 10 splash screen, and then reboots and gets into unrooted os.
So my question is: Is there something wrong with my method (patching the TWRP image from their official site with Magisk App, renaming it into recovery.img and flashing a tarball containing it with Odin), and how can I get both Magisk and TWRP working (and also how can I fix the recovery key combo).
REPLY:Both TWRP and Magisk work properly after the third reboot.
Hi, I have the same problem. Note 10+ and root from Magisk (Patching AP). Every time I normally reset the phone, I lose root. Then, to recover root, I have to combine on computer with the commands "adb reboot" plus a combination of PWR + Vol Up keys on the first inscription "Samsung" immediately after launching this restores root. It doesn't matter if the phone will reset 1 or 5 times. I will always lose root after a regular reset without a combination of PWR + Vol Up. I have enough of it. What am I doing wrong ?
Note 10+ and root from Magisk (Patching AP) Android 12.
Every time when I normally reset the phone, I lose root. Then, to recover root, I need to combine with the commands "adb reboot" from Windows via USB and a combination of PWR + Vol UP keys on the first inscription "Samsung" immediately after reset phone. This is the only way I can get root permissions to the next normal reset ... I will always lose root after a regular reset or turning off phone without a combination of PWR + Vol Up. I have enough of it. How to make root permanent ??
And everything is clear, I will answer myself. In addition, in Android above 11, when restarting, you need to connect the phone to the computer or USB headphones and when turning on the power, hold PWR + VolUP and release the buttons right after the first "Samsung" logo.
Second solution. Install the "Reboot options" application from google play and each time reset the phone by selecting the recovery option, this way we do not lose ROOT every time we reset ...
Due to the fact that some devices no longer uses ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to boot to recovery every time if you want Magisk. Since both Magisk and recovery lives in the same partition, what you actually end up getting when you choose to boot to recovery will be determined by how long you press volume up.
(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)
One question,
how does twrp and magisk gonna work together,
or is it possible to use both..
I ask because anytime I flash twrp (magisk installed)
restart my phone it's goes into a black screen and won't even show charging when charger is connected or plugged into PC
