Unable to flash anything to my A7 - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers

I have tried basically everything by now. Heimdall, Odin and Adb/Fastboot all dont work. I have usb debugging and oem unlock enabled and have tried multiple versions of stock firmware and TWRP. Is there anything i can do?

Did you managed to install TWRP on A11?
Are you on A11?

Android 11, mistake was made, meaning a10 - android10.
But after day of try and error I got it working... Still, when I flash kernel it's bootlooping.
But I just managed to flash PBRP AND ITS WORKING! U need original tar to make tar file from image inside PBRP, and Odin it. Can't make Himndal to work.

No you need to flash it white stock recovery
@magicozero
Do you have the ze552kl or the ze520? I can try to do it for the ze552 since I have that model.
@Rasque
If you can flash with stock recovery, you can flash with twrp. It has been discussed many times, and I flashed Oreo with twrp so I am speaking from personal experience.

what do you mean by "put room"? If you don't want to unlock your boot loader, you can still flash the stock unmodified rom through stock recovery.
If you don't want to unlock, you can try booting (not flashing) twrp through fastboot and then flash magisk. I've never tried it so I'm not sure if it'll work.
this rom can be flashed by twrp???

No, just with the original recovery.
@kiq1702 @mcyorian
Yes, you can flash it with twrp. Edit the updater script, it works fine. I don't think I've ever used the stock recovery to flash anything, went straight to twrp and never looked back.

Yes, you can. No need to edit script or anything but before reboot you need to flash magisk or it wont boot.
You don't need any kind of recovery to install this update. Just download the rom file from asus website, put it in the main folder of your zenfone3 (remember the main folder, not the downloads. if you download the update from your phone it will directly go to downloads folder, so you have to move the update file to main folder) and in couple of seconds you will get a notification that says new update found. And it will update itself. You don't have to flash anything with any kind of recovery.
Only thing to pay attention is when you are downloading the update from official website which is HERE choose the World Wide (WW) version.

How to root a Oreo Stock ROM without waiting?

So. I've flashed the official android 8.0 oreo rom, followed the guide to change the phone date so I'm able to turn OEM Unlock on, but if I do that and then root it using magisk, when I reboot the phone I get the error: "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Anyway to do it?

Thanks a lot for uploading this! I managed to flash it and root my device but now the wifi isn't working. I cleared the cache with TWRP but that didn't resolve the issue. Flashing back the original boot image made the wifi work again.

ok, perhaps it depends on BA (EU) or AA (global) ROM version? however you can boot the rooted one, install a downloaded version of magisk20 via magisk manager to patch your own kernel directly.

I flashed the 4.14.117-perf+.img that you uploaded and then I booted in TWRP and flashed my original stock boot image. While still in TWRP, I flashed the zip of Magisk and then I rebooted. That got it working. So I'm rooted now. Thanks for sending me the image. I appreciate it!
@Heelixx
Can you explain to me how important a magisk boot patched is? Did you leave Pie for 10? What's the procedure?

I was rooted on 10.0 and then I upgraded to 10.0.1
There is a procedure for upgrading to 10.0.1 and still keeping root. I wasn't aware of this and after I got the update, I restarted my device and ended up without root access.
A Magisk patched boot image is important for getting your device rooted.
If you're asking for the procedure to root your device, then you can follow this link which explains it, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-android-10-twrp-t3964131

Whether I build from source 9 or 10 it will still work with your phone. Because the kernel used with twrp that it still supports oneui2 and it boots even after updating to oneui3.

You guys don't understand how the device works. saw it named twrp-3.5.2-android9 So you guys thought it wouldn't work for your generation. Even though you guys haven't tried it yet, they think it won't work. whether it is twrp9 or twrp10 (it will work depending on the kernel used)

Question [SOLVED] Samsung A12 / SM-A127F/DSN - Root problem

Hello,
I have problem with patch my boot.img with Magisk manager. After patching I got error : "The phone is not running Samsung's official software". After flash again stock boot.img everything works.
I use Odin to flash.
I tried to install unofficial TWRP from other thread but I got SVD Fail and vbmeta errors during boot.
Somebody have any idea how solve this problem?
Model : SM-A127F/DSN
Baseband version : A127FXXU2AUG7
Android 11 (UI 3.1)
Info from download mode :
KG STATE : Checking
FRP LOCK : OFF
OEM LOCK : OFF(U)
Secure Download : Enabled
RP SWREV : B:2 K:2 S:2
I found similar situation on movie :
But for me recovery mode and factory reset not solve problem. Phone stuck on "Samsung's official software" and reboot after a few minutes.
Best Regards
Patch the boot image of the fimware your phone is currently running.
I used the same boot.img and instructions from This thread
In attachment magisk patching log
I solved this problem by This thread
SM-A127F have a different hardware than for example SM-A125F and working on Exynos 850 the same as Samsung A21s.
Magisk 23 still not working.

Hi, Yes I have root on this device !
It's very simple, but official Magisk have a bug which prevents the device from booting properly and your phone will be stuck with in bootloop.
1. You must get custom patched Magisk (jn attachment) - from This thread and install it on phone.
2. Get your original firmware from : https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A127F
3. Unpack your firmware and upload AP_XXXXX file on phone and patch it with magisk.
4. Flash with ODIN and done
You have full instruction : Here but I recommend patch full AP_XXX file not only boot.img. Full AP patch It will allow you to turn off DM-Verity immediately and trouble with vbmeta.

Not exactly sure, maybe physwizz confirm, I presume, you tried install kernel file by Install button in TWRP. I tried it too, failed it too and
a) you have done backup in TWRP, thats usual reason to setup TWRP - you just in case backup those special partition and if you done it, restore boot from backup will help
b) really not sure about that, but Odin, button BL and flash BL file from original stock ROM.
Can anybody advanced confirm? Maybe it can be helpful to know exactly, what for sure are kernel (AFAIK part of boot partition), "bootloader" and "boot" partion, BL button in Odin
