Hello,
I don't use M12, but I know that M12 is a device that is very similar to A21S. (the only difference is lack of some sensors+nfc, addition of 90hz display, and bigger battery)
Recently, I was able to successfully root A21s with some modification to the Magisk app, to bypass a problem in the kernel that tricked Magisk into causing boot loop. After this, I thought M12 might have similar problems, since it is pretty much the same phone as A21S.
When I looked at the kernel source and boot.img of M12, it seems that it has the exact same problems that prevented A21s from getting Magisk to work on stock ROMs.
This means that when M12's stock ROM is patched with Magisk, it can cause boot loop.
Since I don't have the device, I can't test anything. Is there anyone who had successfully rooted the device with Magisk? (I saw one thread that gave instructions for root, but there has been no report that it had succeeded or failed)
Already rooted 2 weeks back but yes method is different. i used MagiskManager-v7.5.1 App to patch boot.img and it does only half work but yes we need to add extra steps like how new magisk version does towards packing boot.img manually.
note - the thread which you mentioned towards rooting will never work i mean you already mentioned reason.

You should patch the entire AP, or else it'll have some problems.
Hi XDA members, I want to know step by step for those someone expert on rooting devices please do help me.
I just found an article from droid thunder that it's possible to root device without pc. And the root that article suggest is Kingoroot can I replace it with Magisk? Hope someone can help me.
P/S: the reason I wanted to root it's because i want to do a downgrade miui from stable 12.0.3.0 to 12.0.1.0. This 12.0.3.0 destroy my fingerprint access (totally lost). Already tried several guideline from youtuber how to downgrade but it fails. So I decide to do root access for downgrade.
Hi,
I am hoping someone can clear the following up for me, I have just upgraded from an Alcatel Pixi (Android 5.1.1) to a Samsung A22 5G phone and there have definitely been a LOT of changes in rooting phones since I rooted my Alcatel Pix. I understand that there are answers on Google to these questions but I am more interested in specifically the Samsung A22 5G not just generic.
1) Does KingRoot and similar programs still work to root?
2) Is there any way currently to stop Knox from being tripped?
3) Can Knox be reset - I remember this used to be able to be done?
4) Do I need to use a custom recovery for root?
5) Is it possible to relock the boot loader once I have rooted the phone?
6) Is it better to use Magisk or SuperSU?
Thanks in advance

Hello people, I am VERY new to rooting, so I stopped here to see if my device had an unofficial TWRP version but instead I saw a bunch of issues regarding the phone, should I wait to root my Moto G Stylus 5G (2022)? also, why is the 2022 model not a separate device tree on these forums?
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader without ANY issues for this phone currently?
Am I able to use TWRP, or some other recovery system? if so, what would be the best one?
What concerns are there with custom kernels on this model?
Does Magisk work on this phone?
If I am able to unlock my bootloader without concerns, and set up and use Magisk, what are the steps I should follow for this particular device?
Thanks for the help!

I wouldn't advise trying anything your not prepared for. If you want root then patch your boot.img for the 2022 and flash it. I do not believe there is any twrp or custom ROM just yet because it is so new. Also do some research about Magisk v25.1. it is the newest and most stable imo. Make sure if you do root with Magisk 25+ that you DO NOT disable vbmetas. Just an fyi

I recently bought an M23 5g, had a Moto g7 plus. I've never had a Samsung cell phone before. I don't know what happens to the phone after rooting. I saw that on other Samsung smartphones, because of the Knox protection, some apps and features stop working, so I was in doubt about the fingerprint, as it has the Knox logo when unlocking it. Can someone who rooted the M23 5g tell me if it continues to work normally the fingerprint? What other functions does it miss?

i don't have M23 but i have another samsung, i can tell you my experience. After flashing Magisk, you'll need to wipe you data (knox **** will block your phone otherwise), i didn't lost any features, except Payment apps, and fingerprint work. Don't worry your phone will work normally if you root it

I came back here to tell my experience rooting the M23 5g. Yes, the fingerprint works great with the root and face unlock too, but some apps of Samsung dont work anymore like: Samsung pay/wallet, secure folder, health and all other's. So i find a module Lsposed called: Knox Patch. With this module, only samsung pass and pay dont became to work, other work great. The bank apps i recomend use magisk module call shamiko, all my bank apps work with this, but you will need put the apps on negation list of magisk before and resetart the smartphone. Puting google wallet on magisk negation list you can use this app and dont need anymore the samsung pay. So, the unic apps you realy lose with the root is the samsung pass.
OBS: For me, when i'm installing the root file on ODIN, the M23 dont boot without factory reset. I have a botloop and stuck at screen with factory reset option, after the reset magisk app apper for me normaly and work's great, so remember backup your files before rooting.
For all user's.
the price for this one is nice for its specs, considering to buy it and install TWRP and some custom rom like lineageos or something, can I pm anyone who did it?

There is no custom tom for this phone
Found some great tools for generating device trees, I want to make sure flashing TWRP, and/or Lineage OS is possible before buying this phone (In my case the SM-M236B/DS). Can someone please try it out for me? Luckily it's based of the Snapdragon 750G 5G, so it should be easier than making a device tree for an Exynos. (thanks Samsung).
Here are the things I found:
Firmware:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-m23/firmware/#SM-M236B or
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-M236B
There is a database of already dumped device trees but I doubt there is a device tree for SM-M236B/DS
https://dumps.tadiphone.dev/dumps
You could always try to download it straight from Samsung, but I don't know how to do that.
Tutorials:
Found this really easy to follow tutorial about using Dumpyara a device tree dumping tool.
https://baalajimaestro.me/posts/extract-vendor-2/
TWRP build guides, this is the best guide I found, kind of complicated but still realy useful
https://gist.github.com/rokibhasansagar/15c8e728d94a6bd35a687aac73ef79a5
Haven't found any Lineage OS build guides for unsupported devices but I've found a build guide for /e/ os, it should be similar (/e/ os is based of Lineage). (if you find one pleaaase tell me)

make a patched magisk boot image and flash it. Then flash vbmeta_disabled. Lastly, go to lineage recovery and wipe data and fastboot flash the GSI.

Where i can get vbmeta disabler? And how I can flash this via fastboot? Through TWRP?
Okay so i succesfully flashed crDroid gsi. Here is a tutorial:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Using Odin flash a13_5g_fastbootd-recovery.tar
in AP slot in odin
3. After restart immediately go to recovery and you should see option "enter fastboot", select this and your phone should go into fastbootd mode
4. Now launch fastboot on your PC type fastboot devices if it shows your device that's good.
5. Copy your gsi to adb/fastboot directory and type: fastboot flash system <name of gsi>.IMG
Now flashing should start.
If flashing complete succesfully FIRST go to recovery and select FORMAT DATA. After data is formatted reboot your phone.
Now your phone should boot up with your gsi tom.
