twrp is works on A605FN?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] trinkerin:
I have never rooted my phone so far and this is why I want to ask some questions here before doing it.

Is it possible that I can brick my phone without a chance of recovering it even if I do everything correctly? If I ever want to flash the phone with a rom or custom kernel, should I just flash it with recovery menu without doing anything besides it? Should I put files of twrp, rmm-bypass and no-verity-opt-encrypt in sdcard of the phone or in the computer the phone will be plugged to? What should I do after to root the phone?

Also I have OEM lock in my settings menu, so does it mean I can start doing everything in the first post without unlocking rmm? I'm asking it just to ensure I'll do everything correct.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlackMesa123:
1. The worst thing that could happen is a soft-brick (stuck at Samsung logo), but it can be fixed easily via re-flashing Stock firmware.

2. Mostly of the times yes, but it's better if you first read the whole ROM Infos the dev give you.

3. It's wrote clearly in OP you need to copy the zips in phone's Internal Storage.

4. What to do after root? That depends on the reason why you actually rooted your phone, which can be flashing custom ROMs/kernels, tweak your OS/apps etc.

5. No, you aren't RMM Locked, so I don't see why follow the guide to remove Prenormal Lock.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] trinkerin:
In 4th question I wanted to ask if there is anything essential I should do in order to normally use my phone without getting any troubles. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlackMesa123:
Just follow the guide wrote in OP. To give root access to your phone, all you need to do is download Magisk v17.2 zip and flash it in TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] trinkerin:
How can I be sure that twrp's tar file and magisk zip aren't compromised? I didn't find checksums for either on github. Should META-INF folders of every archive listed above provide recovery menu with everything needed to check hashsums? Does stock recovery menu check hashsums of archives being flashed by default?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] trinkerin:
Can I also install ota updates for phone after I flashed it with twrp and magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlackMesa123:
Nope.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] trinkerin:
Please, answer to questions on security as well
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlackMesa123:
Security and modding are two thing that doesn't go together, most of the mods you'll download will not have any checksum or whatever (we're talking about custom packages, it isn't that hard to "spoof" the possible "security checks"). By flashing TWRP you basically agreed to my warning in OP: you decided to modify your device, so you're the responsible if something goes wrong when flashing custom ROMs/kernels/whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] trinkerin:
Yeah I can never be totally sure about how safe it is to flash the files I download, but so that I can be sure enough and non-suspicious on whether I download a bad file, a developer can just give me the checksum of the thing he made for me to check it manually and to assure me that nobody tried to change this
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] allenjthomsen:
Has anyone tested this on a Sprint A6 and can confirm it works

Nvm it doesnt because the us a600P aka sprint a6 is running a exynos7884 proccessor so may need to make twrp based off stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlackMesa123:
Sure it's 7884 and not 7870? Because if yes I can compile a TWRP for it and publish it if you're willing to test.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] allenjthomsen:
Yes positive it is 7884 i tried your twrp got stuck in a softbrick on bootlogo and reflashed stock
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] allenjthomsen:
Positive its not 7870
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlackMesa123:
Alright. I'll contact you once I have a Test build for your device (I'm maintaining TWRP for A8 2018 that has 7885 so it will be easy, time to get Kernel source code from Sammy and I'm ready ;) )

[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lyndon.onin:
I'm kinda confused on which variant does this twrp support. Does it support 7870?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lyndon.onin:
Please disregard this
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IrenePappel:
I bought the A6 today, followed the steps here in BlackMesa's first post.

TWRP installed successfully. I flashed both ZIPs (latest no-verity-opt-encrypt and RMM Bypass).

Result: The phone was stuck in a bootloop. However, I was still able to get into TWRP with the normal button combination.

First, I panicked and I thought I must download stock firmware and flash it to recover my phone. But then I read here in the thread that the additional flashing of Magisk should fix the bootloop.

So I downloaded the latest Magisk v18.0, put it to my external SD and flashed it. And YES, the phone boots again, everything works and I have root!

Thanks a lot guys, you are great!

BlackMesa:

In your very first post in the installation guide, you should really add one additional bullet point:

"Install the latest Magisk 18.0, otherwise you are stuck in a bootloop."

This will probably help many other users in the same situation and avoid people from panicking and flashing stock firmware again.

I've tried rooting my phone (a600fn) but when it turns on it makes a click sound at the back and shuts off completely..

I can't even find the correct firmware please help ..

I'm not accusing anyone I just need an answer why it's turning off.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dinob202:
Hello, thank you for your effort.

I installed TWRP on my A600FN using Odin and flashed Magisk-v18.0 but after I rebooted my device and It says:

''Verification failed

Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data"

And I performed a factory reset using TWRP but the same message pops up.

What should I do?

****now I will install stock rom because I need my phone****

I want to root it.

Waiting for your replies.

I just try to help and I have tested it On J7 pro Fix RMM State = Prenormal without wait 7 days using Free Miracle Box ( I read it at https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development/rmm-rmm-fix-oreo-8-1-oem-unlock-fix-dez-t3877764 ) It works. I have flashed stock ROM and the OEM Unlock option still there in Developer Options. I think Miracle Box Fix RMM State permanently. If you like you can use it for A6, I just wait for downloading A6 stock rom and then use Miracle Box software to fix RMM State. I have created the video for miracle box https://youtu.be/2DGbgjmR75k

For rooting A6, I used TWRP on this thread TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-a6ltexx-2018-11-26_20-43 and J7 Pro rooting files ( RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2, no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0, Magisk_2018-09-17_Defex ) I confirmed these files also works for A6. You can watch this video https://youtu.be/jbveluu8Me4

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Use the latest version of the firmware update. Before root it you should write the firmware version.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] redymedan:
This TWRP worked for Android 9 Pie, I have rooted my A6 SM-A600G / F using Magisk v81.1, but It may be not work for SM-A600FN, some comments on my youtube channel have talked about that They failed rooting it (SM-A600FN). For rooting we need twice to install Magisk v18.1, after install TWRP for preventing boot loop and after install Magisk Manager for rooting. for more information you can watch this video https://youtu.be/1y1p7-Hzm_o

I think that's because of Knox features. Once knox detects you're rooted, Knox features will not work anymore. I hope it makes sense.

Sorry for the misleading information on my first post it works flawlessly I haven't decrypted the internal storge before tinkering with it that's why I faced the issues.

And yes you can downgrade to oreo if you have all needed partitions backed up or you can also flash it via Odin.

Guide Not Working for Me

Hello. I have a SM-A600P (Galaxy A6 for Sprint) and I tried flashing the TWRP and it passes in green however I'm unable to boot into TWRP itself and also the phone doesn't load the operating system and is stuck on the Samsung screen.

So as of now I had to manually get into download mode and reinstall Android 10.

Any suggestions as of where I can get TWRP for my version SM-A600P?

Or any fix available for my issue?

Hi there, masters of rooting and stuff. Would someone be so kind to offer some guidance for flashing custom ROM? I'm on ZUI 3.5.388 and I'm sick of it, so I would like to flash either AEX or RR, but everything seems very complicated. I understand that I need to unlock bootloader and I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with that process.

But I'm not sure what to do after that - is it TWRP, do i need to install factory2vendor, how do I do that and when, do I need to install broadbend (giving that I'm using latest ZUI) and in which order do I do all that.

Thanks.

I think vivo India may release source code after receiving few requests. So i appeal everybody to mail them or send them messages through Facebook or Instagram.

Moreover Indian Vivo Nex Rom is the closest to what we can get in the name of international rom.

I am no developer, but I know once the source codes will be out , many potential developers would be ready to build Roms for it. Below I am giving the links to reach VIVO INDIA:

How is your experience so far? I'm confused between this, oneplus 6 red or Asus max pro, oneplus have poor audio and this has no root support might as well wait it out for a year using the budget phone as the full screen would be common next year I think.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Abby 244:
Performance wise this mobile is a beast.

But sadly inability to root does bother me sometime as prior to this I was using rooted Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. For 11k it is the best you can get.

I chose this over OnePlus 6 due to bigger screen , bigger battery , no notch (I hate notch) , indisplay fingerprint and that psychedelic back (you have to see it in real life , on videos it's beauty ain't justified).

If you want stock android experience with conventional form factor then buy OnePlus 6 but if you want to experience freshness then buy NEX.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] arvinchugh:
I don't like the looks of oneplus but that red color is a beauty, also battery seems pretty weak along with audio on that phone. what is the battery performance like on this phone? what kind of SOT are you getting? also how efficient is indisplay fps? does it work with banking apps and play store to authenticate purchases? Also how much did you pay for this phone? I might be able to get it for as low as 31K after gst claims. My main concern are good fps, great battery life and great audio through earphones and bluetooth. Are they good enough to last at least 2 years? or should I stick to Max pro M1 6gb model for now? given it has great battery life, camera can be improved with gcam and fps seems decent too.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Abby 244:
SOT is 6.5hrs to 7.5 hrs , depending over your usage.

Audio quality is damn amazing with wired earphone , comparable to the lg g4 (it also had dac) , didn't get a chance to use Bluetooth ones though.

Fps while gaming is surely hell lot better than Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (I play RULES OF SURVIVAL).

Even cameras are at par with OnePlus 6.

And in my case fingerprint is also reliable unlike what reviewers said.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] arvinchugh:
Thanks for replying back so quickly, by fps I meant fingerprint scanner :p I don't play games that often, this phone gets my attention mainly due to wow factor of the screen and latest processor and 8 GB of ram. My mostly use would be emailing, insta and snap that's about it. Max pro offers over 10 hours of SOT which seems really irresistible along with knowing it would be updated to P sooner than later and this doesn't even have any official confirmation it will be updated to next android version -_-
