I have installed Lineage OS (Android 10) on my phone and TWRP through download mode and ODIN. The instructions I followed had no mention of unlocking the bootloader but it worked. I did not check the bootloader prior to the process nor did I find anything in the settings menu indicating anything about the bootloader. I therefore assume my bootloader is almost certainly unlocked but in the interest of being 100% certain that I will not brick my phone, I would just like to confirm with some more experienced members of the community if this is indeed true. Can I attempt to flash magisk using TWRP? If my phone has a locked bootloader and I attempt to install Magisk, is there any hope of recovery or would my phone be completely unusable? Thank you.

Which device?
Samsung didn't need an bootloader unlock until i think Galaxy S5.
Also since you already successfully flashed TWRP and lineage, i assume flashing Magisk won't make any difference
S6 Edge (G925F). I flashed Magisk and it worked. I asked on Reddit as well so a guy told me I wouldn't be able to boot a custom ROM or TWRP if my bootloader was locked so it should be okay. Thanks.
The same here I have Samsung galaxy tab a6 and I flashed twrp using Odin successfuly
and install lineage custom ROM without unlocking boot loader and I install supersu and it worked perfectly but l wented to use magisk and for that l fully unrooted SuperSU and flash latest magisk but the problem is here after flashed magisk successfuly rebooted and magisk app icon is not showing up on homescreen I install it manuly from file manager the app icon uninstalled it self again a don't now what I have to do

Currently on stock MM, rooted with Sahara and fire hose and installed twrp. Does the bootloader need to be unlocked before I go flashing roms? From what I am reading, I should be able to flash normally through TWRP, but I've been wrong before!!
I didn't think you could flash twrp unless the bootloader was unlocked.

I just followed the instructions to push twrp through Sahara and then used it to install superuser. I never unlocked bootloader... That's why I was hesitant to start flashing
Edit: I have installed xposed and the modules I've used are all working
Hello i recently bought a galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 (Canadian / BELL Mobility) and its veen updated to the latest it can which is android 8.0 (oreo) and id really like to root it without havibg to change my stock rom actually id just be glad to get it rooted also the security patch is up2date as of july 1st 2018
The W8 is an exynos model so the bootloader should be unlocked, flash twrp through odin, do a factory reset, reboot to recovery from TWRP itself, flash no-dm-verity zip which should be in your memory card, if you don't have one use mtp in TWRP and copy it to the phone, then install magisk zip and you should be good to go. you can find those two zip files in the forum or just a simple good search.
Did you have any luck rooting the SM-G930W8 on 8.0? I just acquired the Canadian S7 and I'd like to root it, but I know it's different from the American S7's, and all I can find is how to root the Canadian S7 with Nougat.

It doesn't matter which carrier it is, what matters most is the chip and the bootloader, the Canadian variant uses the Exynos soc so the steps are the same just like the international model. Start by unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery, download TWRP for herolte, on your phone enable developer options, then make sure OEM unlock is checked, turn off your phone and boot into Odin, then flash the TWRP image, make sure to uncheck reboot after flash in Odin. Once flashing is done, manually reboot your phone and make sure to enter the recovery mode, do a normal factory reset, the one that asks you to write YES to confirm, then reboot to recovery again, plug your phone to the computer and copy the latest magisk zip then flash it, and that should be it basically.

I thought the Canadian variant with Exynos already had an unlocked bootloader? There are already instructions on how to root my exact model, but the assumption is 7.0.
I have rooted other phones before, and sometimes the requirement for a version of Android before rooting is very specific. I have no idea where to start to even verify whether the bootloader is truly unlocked, whether or not I can proceed with rooting despite having a different Android version (in my case, 8.0, not 7.0), etc.

Sorry there, I guess the correct description would be tripping knox rather than unlocking the bootloader, since you're already familiar with the process then I can tell you its totally the same, nougat and oreo aren't different enough for anything to change, allow OEM unlock, install twrp, do a data wipe, reboot to recovery again, install magisk zip and you're good to go. You might need to flash the dm verity bypass before magisk, that's another zip you can download as well.
This is a ROM that I put together because Verizon Galaxy S5 locked boot-loader phone has very little support, and we cant experience the stock Android Experience.
Any developer could customize this ROM and post their own version.
Whats included in this ROM:
-Google Apps instead of Samsung apps.
-Gravity Box
-Xposed
-Build.prop performance X tweaks
-Pixel Launcher
-Pixel Boot Animation
-Removed Verizon Bloatware
AOSP/Goodlock System UI - Customizable
Bugs:
Fingerprint to unlock- please disable fingerprint lock -++ if u want to use fingerprint install C locker pro and disable lockscreen++
Instructions:
Move to SD card, install - pretty much
to have system UI mods xposed; gravity box is recommended
Unlocked Phones.
Remove boot.img in the Flashable zip. and place any other kernel

Thanks for the work. I'm probably going to give this a shot tomorrow and will let you know what I think.
The title says "Unlock/Locked Bootloader"—is this to say I could flash this on my unlocked bootloader G900V without any trouble? I'd like to test ride this for a friend whose S5 whose bootloader may not be unlockable.
any way to root or install magisk in this rom_??

Depends. If you're using a bootloader locked S5, then no. If you have the unlockable bootloader S5, then yes.
Edit: Apologies, it just occurred to me that this only applies if the ROM doesn't mess with the bootloader status, which it very well might, given @zihar's troubles.

Now that's strange. My first thought would be maybe a corrupted Magisk .zip? Try flashing the Magisk uninstaller, see if it boots normally, then try again with a fresh downloaded .zip.
On the other hand, since the OP hasn't answered my question yet, it could be that the ROM re-locked your bootloader. Flashing Magisk in that case, which messes with the boot.img, would definitely mess with your system. In that case, I would hope flashing the uninstaller would solve the problem. I think you'll have to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader all over again too.

I''ve got the emmc 15. I got magisk 17.1 to 'work'.
This is what I've tried; after flashing the rom extract the boot.img from the aosp-touchwiz zip, install magisk manager and patch the boot.img, reboot to twrp and install, install image and select the patched_boot.img, swipe and pray. Had mine lock up at boot, flashed magisk uninstaller, installed the image again and it worked. Although, magisk states it's in core mode only, I tried to have it do its thing to run normally by unchecking the box but it wound up locking up the rom, so rinse and repeat. So, it's root but not through and through? Because I can't seem to move an app to system/priv-app when I do it fails to find the package, I've tried root explorer, es file manager, link2sd, lucky patcher, and TWRP (mounting system); either locks the rom, kills the app, or somehow removes root entirely.
I just want a rom with magisksu and that won't throw a fit when I move an app to system.

Personally I've only gone through the process of unlocking the bootloader once on my emmc 15, TWRP is also installed as recovery.
My emmc 11 on the other hand is touchy and if you're not careful it'll lock up and you'll have to start over. The emmc 11 (locked bootloader) is touchy in general when dinking around with root/safestrap but the guides here are thorough, a bit more than the emmc 15 threads it seems.
Does installing a ROM like this one, in which bloatware was removed, result in more useable space from the phone's internal storage? Specifically, does it result in more storage for installing apps?

Need to restore root on my HTC U11 Oreo for Pie update.
Guess this will be straighforward but for the life of me (getting old) I can't remember how to do this.
When I originally rooted I:
Unlocked the bootloader
Booted into recovery (did not flash it just booted e.g. fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-ocn.img)
Backed it up
Flashed Magisk.
Do I simply unisntall Magisk or are there other steps to perform to get root back?

Flash Magisk uninstaller and you remove Magisk completely, and therefore root... Simple search for "full unroot" should get you places, too...
Today I tried to install twrp from this link

I have the CN version (LE2110 ) with Oxygen 11.2.9.9.LE25AA. I was able to make it unlocked but on the step where I am in the temporary TWRP I can't now browser to any files I copied before. I have no access to the SDCARD, to flash TWRP permanent.
Is there another workaround to get TWRP running on the OP9 and root it after?
thanks
Andy
Great the twrp from op9 pro works perfecet. magisk and root as well. thanks very much for the great work.
Is there a way to disable the unlocked message which appears on the boot?
what happen if I lock it again? does TWRP and root work then?. Bit scary to try as yesterday I was hanging in a boot loop with trying twrp...)
thanks
I unlocked the bootloader with adb fastboot flashing unlock.
what do you mean by MSM?
right now I am on stock rom with all updates, TWRP with Magisk and root.
should I look the bootloader with ad fastboot flashing lock ? Do I still have TWRP and Magisk with root running after I lock the bootloader again?
thanks
Do not ever lock your bootloader with TWRP installed or root! It can and very likely will brick your device! You can only get rid of that message by going back to stock without root and without TWRP and then relock. You have been warned, do not even think about it
Hi,
ok thanks for the information, then I better leave this message,
thanks
Hi,
ok I will leave the message then.
thanks to all for quick support
It is/was "possible" to remove, but the difficulty and risk are not worth it.
