Magisk will not root

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.

Need help for flashing TWRP onto a Magisk-enabled Samsung device

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 ?

I lose root after each reset the phone without PWR+Volup on start

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
Phone galaxy note 10 5g n971n
Bootloader: unlocked
Root access: yes

My Screen Flickers by Magisk Manager

I was installing magisk modules and install busybox from magisk after rebooting to apply the modules and busybox everything started fine there was no bootloop or anything but being already on the lock screen of the device the screen flickered and wouldn't let me do anything just turn off the screen to stop flashing but it let me enter the options by holding down the power button, I already removed the modules using Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode but it still doesn't work and keeps flashing and not letting me do anything.

just go to platform tools and open cmd as administrator or open minimal adb and fastboot and check adb devices if it shows devices just type the command
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
it'll remove all the magisk modules but hey! your phone is recovered
if you look up ig you'll find commands for specific modules too but go this and install modules again
