Question Root - Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE

Is there any way to root your Samsung nowadays lol I tried everything nothing works all errors

Same here, I have tried lots of different methods but none are working at the moment.
There is an opened issue on Github for Magisk, but it has been quiet for the past few weeks. Feel free to add more comments and information into the issue, perhaps this will help someone over there to figure out how to make it work.
Bootloop on Galaxy Tab S7FE, logical partition for system/root not found · Issue #4795 · topjohnwu/Magisk
Hey everyone, I tried patching the boot.img from the latest AP and flashed via Odin but it just gets stuck at the first Samsung logo. It can't even start adbd to take logs. I have tried removing sy...

If you really want root, you could just run a GSI, a rom with root. This would involve unpacking the super.img.and repacking with the gsi system.img.

GSI sounds interesting. I only need root so that I can move all the apps along with its data from my old device.
Would it be possible to flash the GSI with root, and then later flash back the stock rom on top and keep the data (I am ok with losing root once app data has been copied across)? Or is this messy and not recommended?
Which GSI image have you tried in particular with this device by the way?

Leagoo Shark 1 - SafetyNet Issues.

I've basically been trying to root this phone for over a week now - first of all I had problems with the ADB drivers and such, but now I can actually flash stuff onto the phone.
I then also managed to flash SuperSU and XPosed and now herein lies the problem. I want to play PokémonGO.
Now, after doing a lot of reading up on the subject, it seems P-GO now uses Google's SafetyNet API in order to block Root, Xposed, etc users from playing the game.
So, I did a complete reset and tried flashing a different rom. I used the ''Stock Android 6.0 ROM'' from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/leagoo-shark-1-development-support-t3415599
HOWEVER, flashing that ROM seems to wipe the recovery partition (even if you untick recovery in sp flash tool) and you end up with some chinese 4G logo banner, before it boots into the OS.
So, back to square 1. I found and re-flashed the stock Leagoo OS ROM and then tried using Magisk (because supposedly Magisk can hide itself and allow me to play P-GO).
No digs...
So, after many hours of flashing many different ROMs, performing countless resets and wipes on my phone, I think I may have found the issue.
After reading through the support forum of Magisk, it was recommended trying to go back to 0 (un-rooting, re-wiping partitions, re-flashing stock rom, etc) and seeing if my phone would then pass SafetyNet Check - It doesn't.
Purely stock ROM, does not pass SafetyNET, which I reckon is because the phone's bootloader is unlocked from the get-go.
Now, weirdly, the stock rom CAN play PokémonGo without a hitch, but installing root then mucks it up.
Seeing as Leagoo isn't exactly a common brand, I cannot install LineageOS with it's custom kernel which hides the bootloader settings....
what can I do if I want to have a rooted phone, but also want to play PokemonGo?

Desperate need of help with my device

I’ll make this short.
I was successfully rooted. But I couldn’t update to 9.5.6.
I updated but it keeps failing. I switch to slot A and I was on 9.5.6 but WiFi didn’t work and apps would crash randomly, and it was laggy. I would go back to slot b and WiFi worked and everything was great but I’m on 9.5.3. And I would try to update again and it would fail and sometimes I would have to have in fastboot and reflash twrp to reboot to restore. I restored the device multiple times, removed root but it still happens. I used to always use android but I was on iOS for years and I’m used to jailbreaking and Apple IOS. Please help me. How can I restore and start from scratch? Or how can I fix this? It’s very annoying. I have my info backed up so I don’t care what I have to do. I love this phone but I had the Verizon iPhone bug when people call me and I answer it fails on there end. Or else I would deal with 9.5.3. All help is greatly appreciated.
You need to read the threads better, it's already been explained that wifi can end up being disabled because the rooted boot.img is older than your current rom version. Flashing one of the kernels available usually fixes this. You can also extract the boot image from the rom you downloaded and patch that boot.img file using Magisk, then when you apply that everything should work correctly.
From reading your post it would appear you're on T-Mobile (US) so you would need to download the 9.5.6 package and then extract the boot.img, then patch that using Magisk and push it to the phone using fastboot, once you reboot everything should be rooted and working.

[Help Please] Setting up Magisk on Lineage 18.1

Hello everyone. Long time since I had an android device and I'm cutting the chains of my iPhone wanting to be de-Googled and de-Appled. I was running Lineage 17.1 from Microg and thought I had everything working on it until I started updating some software on my phone over the air. I rebooted and it went to bootloop. Since then I re-installed 17.1 and got things working again. I just upgraded to 18.1 and want to make sure it's all set up properly and won't have any errors.
Magisk says SafetyNet has an "SafetyNet API Error." "Basicintegrity, ctsProfile, evalType N/A." all in red when I check if it's working. I've done some digging, but want to make sure I do this right. I need to get the boot.img file from the original firmware. Should I get this from the oneplus website, or should I be looking for something else since I have Lineage? Can anyone provide the raw boot.img file for the OnePlus 7 Pro that I should use? I'm a little overwhelmed with all of the steps to extract it from the original firmware. Please and thanks for any help getting this phone set up the way I need it to work!
That error show when safety net API download was incomplete/corrupt, you can try to erase data from magisk manager and check safetynet again but with a better internet connection or use another magisk version like canary
And if you end in a bootloop for any magisk module just turn off your device and in your computer in a CMD/powershell/terminal window enter this command
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
Then connect and turn on your phone and automatically your phone will reboot with all your magisk modules disabled
Use magisk canary bro,,,
I sideloaded Canary and still get the red SafetyNet API error screen after opening it. Can someone direct me to a full tutorial on how Magisk works and what the modules do? I'm thinking I might need to do a full uninstall of Magisk and start over. If I do this will I lose all the data on the phone and have to start from scratch? Thanks for your help so far!
Well I've spent several hours researching tutorials and typing in codes via Terminal on my Mac and have gotten the phone restocked twice and working normal on stock OS, but after putting TWRP on it and then installing Lineage 18.1 it goes into a Lineage logo boot loop. What am I missing here?
It seems to me that TWRP is not compatible with Lineage. Sometimes when I rebooted the phone and was playing with the Recovery.IMG I saw the Lineage Recovery, then other times the TWRP would flash on and off in a boot loop. I have been careful about using the command " ./fastboot boot TWRP.img " and not "flash" TWRP, as would be the case for non a/b storage devices. On a couple occasions I could reboot with the Lineage Recovery.IMG and it would boot to startup, but if I rebooted to Recovery from the home screen, it would get stuck on TWRP.
I'm probably just missing something simple, but what might I be doing wrong? Is it the timing of installing TWRP and then installing Lineage in the same TWRP session?
This all stemmed from me wanting to get TWRP with Lineage 18.1 and getting Magisk and Microg working correctly for a "de-googled" phone with working apps. I'm frustrated, but will keep trying if I can get some direction. Thanks for your input.

Got it! I'll go back to 17.1 Thanks!
Bump
Still trying to find a solution. I get fairly far into flashing the ROM, getting TWRP working and then end up stuck at Microg not letting me open the location menu. If only there were a guide with start to finish Lineage 17.1 or 18.1 with Microg and Magisk for my OnePlus 7 Pro. I find some guides, but there isn't one that encompasses everything that actually works. I'm going to try Lineage 18.1 with Microg built in and then flash Magisk.

I never installed lineage but i guess you can flash the ROM, change slots, then format data(this will erase all your stuff) and flash magisk then reboot into system
And for the safety net error yesterday was released a "fix" for that so try again

Thank you. I'll have to address this at some point. I got the phone restocked, and flashed 18.1 Lineage on it again. Got all my apps and accounts back up on it. I'm just debating running Magisk again knowing that I'll likely have to start from scratch again. I wasn't able to get TWRP working correctly, so I left Lineage Recovery on, so it will be some time before I try going through this again. I'm going to do some research on what exactly is happening when I put recoveries and ROMs on different slots. Same goes for the Magisk. It's all quite new to me with the "slots" and what information has to go on which slot. I also need to find out how to backup my apps so if I re-flash a ROM, it's not so painful to get my data back on the phone.
At least I have a working phone without a Google login and most of the apps I want work. I'm only missing Lyft and my bank app. Again, thanks for the reply, and I'll look into this when I have some time to play with the phone again.

TWRP can't boot in devices with OOS 11 blobs and encrypted data, for Magisk the only way I can imagine is using a patched boot.img.
Make a backup of your current boot.img(lineage) with apps like Franco kernel, then Patch it with magisk, then flash it in fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
if something woes wrong you can restore the backup from Franco kernel

Thanks RokCruz,
I'm going to get 18.1 back on with the LOS Recovery again. I'll try the boot patch method with the LOS boot.img from 18.1 for Magisk. I haven't tried the Franco kernel as I just now found out about it. I don't really need to do anything else fancy with the phone in terms of overclocking or underclocking. Does that kernel facilitate easier backups? I'm still learning a LOT about how Android works. It's been a steep learning curve. Fortunately, I can get myself out of any binds with a restock and fastboot!

Yes only for boot backups, I always made a backup of my boot.img of every OB just in case something goes wrong but i have never experienced that.
I personally prefer OOS, just install custom kernel and some mods like Cyberpunk 2077 theme, Riru Lsposed and a adbloker and that's all I need

I guess you can, just use a debloater
But it's better to install HydrogenOS just disable Chinese apps, install micro g and it's complements and you can run any Google dependant app, safety net passes without problems too.
I installed hydrogen and it runs smoothly but Cyberpunk isn't available for it so I reinstalled OOS

Thanks for the tip about Hydrogen. I'll do some research on that. And thanks for getting back so quickly. The Android community really has some great people. Happy to be apart of it!

So at the end of the day, I ended up with HydrogenOS 11 and have F-Droid and Aurora Store installed and working fine. I didn't/don't need Magisk or MicroG since HOS apparently is OK'd by google and all of my apps work.
So this worked perfectly for me. I have a fully functional OS and no Google sign-in needed. I did as you said and just deleted the Chinese bloat apps. I can't manage to get rid of the "Market" app though.
Lyft works and all of my location requiring apps like Waze work as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Question: Will OxygenOS work the same without a google login? If so, what would be the advantage of HOS vs OOS? HOS 11 has an entire section devoted to a Google login for different services. I left it blank, but just wondering what the difference would be on OOS.

Market can be disabled if my mind serve me right, OOS could end in a bootloop if we remove all Google apps so it's better not to do that.
I never see that section, I only installed OB1 and OB2 and never see that.
And remember you need to install magisk in order to pass safetynet.

Looks like I'm denied the ability to disable the Market App.
Photo's attached for the Google settings I have available on HOS 11.
Also unable to make the microphone work in the keyboard for voice to text, but I have a feeling I won't be able to make that work without logging in to Google. Currently looking for some workarounds.
What will passing Safetynet allow me to do that I'm not already able to do now? Use banking apps and "tap to pay" type apps? I haven't found my bank app on the Aurora Store just yet. "US Bank" if it makes a difference.
I'll continue to play with this OS, but so far, it seems the easiest to get working right from the get-go.

I super messed up, need suggestions. [I fixed it like the chad I am :) ]

Cant flash twrp nor the patched magisk boot img to both slot a and b.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Flashing scripts via .bat files for stock zips of both android 10 and 12 results in "FAILED (remote: Partition product not found)" or "FAILED (remote: variable not found)" respectively.
I have no recovery.
When I had twrp, I've made the mistake of wiping my whole android 12 data, storage, and system and flashing an android 10 rom without reading up of the separate a and b boot slots nor the effects of my actions leading to bootlooping. (I've done with this other devices before with no problems). This in turn wiped the twrp recovery I had flashed and left me only fastboot commands and a twrp version up to 3.3 and 3.2 with no hope of getting usb otg to work as it was only available with the later versions of twrp and since I and now technically on an android 10 bootloader, any attempt at that time to flash twrp 3.6 was met with a (remote: Error calling AvbLoadAndVerifyBootImages Load Error) or some kind of other error I have no logs for. Now I cant even tetherboot to twrp 3.2 nor 3.3 and I get that error regardless.
[Boots to bootloader no matter what. Shows as UFS:Micron, Error reason - reboot bootloader - bootloader version is b1c1-0-4-7617406]
I believe I can get access to internal storage to flash these updates once I get a recovery tethered from the bootloader. I do not know if its possible to boot to fastbootd or whatever its called (used for write permissions/sideload update zips) even if I hadn't gotten into this predicament. I will be buying another Pixel 3 in the meantime as I have money to burn and like to hurt myself financially, and emotionally to get to my goal with this device. ( Didn't buy another one, I was committed to the cause!)
I am not a noob nor a pro, but somewhere in between. My biggest point of failure is not reading up on how the partitions are set up and the various issues others had when flashing android 10 and 11 roms. Any suggestions other than "uPdAtE tHe fAsTbOoT aNd AdB dRiVeRs" are not welcomed. Thank you. I will update once I find a soluton to my problem Which I Will.
Again, my main concern right now is getting tethered twrp to work again and need suggestions. I have older versions of platform tools and the latest so please non of those comments I see on literally every other thread.
Edit: I didn't mention this before, but I did have the ability yo sideload when I had twrp at the time before crapping everything out the window, but nothing would work and gave up. Just wanted to add if anyone was wondering.
First update, I used the propriatary "Tool All In One Tool" and I was able to boot to fastbootd, and wipe my data and storage, while updating my stock zip to android 12. Now I can tetherboot twrp 3.6.1_11-0 with the option for usb otg, wish me luck boys. I'm in.
Second update. Still stuck on first update, but weighing my options in the meantime. I flashed twrp via the flash current twrp option, but when I boot to it, touch is disabled so thats great... I can fast boot to only the twrp versions after 3.6+, so not so bad. I have no os installed, but I will try my hand again at that tool all in one tool again. I'll update tomorrow if anything comes of it.
3rd update. FROM THE BRINK OF DEATH!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I got the pixeldust rom flashed and working like a BOSS!!!!! You won't believe the 2 days I've had trying to get this thing to work. All in all 1 out of my 3 flashdrives finally worked with otg. I had a windows recovery drive premade on it so I just copied and pasted the files there without a hitch! Thank you Google for having to make me miss work and actually do research to get this thing working again! Thank you for the guys at Tool All In One Tool for making this recovery possible, I will shout out your thread. If anyone who's in a similar situation needs any help from me or any info, I'll be glad to help. This will be the second to last update. I can also make phone calls and use data so Pixel Dust rom is good to go if that was one of your concerns. See ya!
Final update, I got crdroid flashed with root and safetynet passed, I just found out that google Pay was imbedded in gapps so now I don't need the pay app anymore to do transactions! My banking app also works, got vanced finally installed (couldn't do it on regular stock ROM) some glitches with the ROM here and there but no worries. For who ever reads this. There's hope. I fd up as bad as you can get shy of a hard brick. I still don't know too much but learned near twice as much as I knew just a few days ago. If you need help just DM me and I'll work my hardest to bring the light. This phone is absolutely amazing and on god wished google was a better company to praise. I have more plans for these phones and hope more Roms come out to support it.
I have one question however, how do I make a backup of my system/system_ext partitions? I can make a back up of everything else but that with these two Roms... I have a backup of it with my stock ROM, but it resumed to mount when I used otg... Didn't try internal yet but I'll assume the same, is it a glitch with current twrp?

Question Lenovo P11 Tab TB-J606F Wifi issues after GSI

Hi all
I have a bit of a problem after flashing the Google GSI (android 13) on my Lenovo Tab P11. Everything seemed to work well. Rebooted into the OS without any issues, everything seemed to work (Wifi included). I then swapped and deployed LineageOS 20 GSI which again, seemed to go okay but I had a google play protect issue.
During a quick check, I was planning on just rolling back to the Google GSI one, but accidently locked my device with
./fastboot.exe flashing lock
instead of unlock. And, taking no notice of the on screen prompts proceeded to relock the device which effectively bricked it. Nothing would load, not even recovery or fastboot.
A fair while later I managed to get recovery/fastboot working again by redoploying the boot.img, recovery.img and vbmeta.img from the stock ROM. I then discovered my current-slot had changed from b to a, so swapped that back too. This allowed the device to at least go into fastbootd so I ccould reflash it. I put the LineageOS back on, but now Wifi isn't working. Rolled back to Google GSI and the same.
I've tried following guides to re-install stock, but that's failing as well. I have read a couple of posts detailing issues with Wifi on GSI but the fixes didn't do anything or weren't necessarily inline with what I had. I suspect I have missed something I need to push back out to the device, but at this point I'm a bit stuck.
Anyone came across this before, or can point me where I can get some more information on it?
ta
whether some partitions are deleted or corrupted. You have the original backup qcn . try restoring it or trying to fix the partitions
