Hello I need your help

I rooted my phone with magisk. Now I have a new update but it cannot be installed.

"the system has been changed unauthorized" (OTA Update Samsung) Galaxy A9 2018 (A920F)

How can i install it? I want to keep the data and applications. Is it possible? Everything is deleted with Odin?

Can someone help me? Or is there a description for it?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Codename_Falcon:
You will have to install the updates using Odin. This will require you to root again.

DON'T NEED CRAP TWRP lol

Yup. I am pleased to say I successully ROOTED my Samsung A920F (2018). Easier than I thought to be fair, it's just people on these Forums don't explain things very well.

So I am here to tell you all, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.... Further more, if ANYONE is interested in the method I used, I shall happily explain what I did.

METHOD WORKING 2020!

I have in 2020! :) and it's not as hard as people are making out!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Codename_Falcon:
What firmware are you on and what method did you use to root?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] geekinfinity:
1. PC required

2. Download your STOCK rom for your Samsung A920F on the link here:

https://samsony.net/en/mobiles/SM-A920F/download/1838 <<< that's for my A920F specific (VOD)afone but search the site and you get yours for your CARRIER. (the whole compressed file is 4.15GB, so be patient!)

3. Once STOCK firmware is downloaded, you need to extract the 5 files (extract with WinRAR) (AP; BL; CP; CSC; HOME; to a folder you can come back to in a second)

4. Once extracted, you ONLY need the AP file, which has the extention of .tar.md5 (even though they all have this extention)

5. Take that AP (TAR.MD5) file and copy it straight to your phone's internal storage, and the download folder)

6. Once the AP is safely on the device, this is where you need Magisk. (Magisk: https://******************/downloading-magisk-manager)

7. Open Magisk, now navigate to your phone internal storage/download folder to where the AP you transferred not long ago is, and click it, accept all it's agreements, etc

8. Once the AP has flashed in Magisk (the screen codes will tell you it's done), transfer the AP back to your PC. (it'll be ''magisk_patched.tar'')

9. Download Odin http://www.mediafire.com/file/8cish1f6wo2n3et/odin3_v3.14.1.zip/file (it's safe, just watch the redirected pages (if any)-)

10. Once you got Odin, open it; click on AP, navigate to the ''magisk_patched.tar'' (you not long ago patched with Magisk)

11. Once the ''magisk_patched.tar) has been added, simply click start! Then Odin will do it's business, restart the phone; Download Basic Root Checker from Apps, and you should have a ROOTED A920F.

DISCLAIMER

I bricked my phone so many times doing ''trial and errors'' and managed to redeem myself every single time, and some was really really bad. UNTIL I tried this life saving method.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xperia_sony_best:
Thank you for this method, I was about to try this method of yours but there are several things I want to clear:

1. I'm currently on the lastest firmware (android 10) and my baseband is not listed on the website you provided (basically they have only one baseband firmware). Is this safe for me to do this method on latest firmware and different baseband or I MUST do this on android 8?

2. After the final step, when the phone is being reset, am I gonna lose every data on my phone? I don't see you mentioned this?

That's all for now, thank you lots

Hi! Sorry for a delay in reply. I've just seen this message. Of course it resets the phone :D back it all up before you do anything! I don't know about your model, unfortunately. I was only posting what I did to mine (SM-920F), not any other phone.

(If you've got any other phone apart from the Samsung SM-920F (A9-2018) then YOU'RE DOING MY METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK; I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES.)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] e753:
I bought an original battery on ebay.

What should I check on the battery before install it?

I am going to give the mobile to a shop to do the replacement. What do you suggest should I check if the job is well done?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
Hey,

first of all, you probably bought a fake battery, and you will notice that after using your phone for 1 month afterwards.

There are no reliable sources for original samsung batterys than Samsung himself or there offical partner!

All "Original" batterys out there are either used or cheap knock offs.

Remember, if you bring it to a random store, your phone will loose its waterproofness! (only Samsung itself can repair it and keep it waterproof afterwards). And youll loose your warranty if there is some left.

(wouldnt be a problem for me but perhaps for you)

If you get your phone back from the store, look around the edges and the back panel should sit perektly (have a look at your phone right now to check).

before you leave the store have a overall check of your phone:

type *#0*# in your phone app and test every single part of the phone.

thats all :)

*edit*: regard checking the battery: normaly you cant check them. Only way would be a full charg and messure the discharge to see its real size, but im not a electrician, so i cant help with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] e753:
Many thanks.

I bought this one.

https://www.ebay.it/itm/162984665547

The one I have on my phone has 2999 mAh working (Accubattery stats).

I am really in doubt about what to do.

Should I replace it?

PS: i do not care of the warranty anymore..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
Its impossible to tell without messuring it. But as i said before 95% its a knock off from china.

Sadly Accubattery stats are not reliable.

Regarding your last question:

If your phone looses more than 3% of battery over night while everything is turned on (wifi etc). Check your battery stats if something is eating up your battery. Moreover you should reach 4h of screen on time (in device maintance --> battery --> battery usage of Android, tap on "screen"). Everything nearby is good. So that should be the normal lifespan of our battery (s8+ , dualsim will have a little less).

So if you have significant less power and you cant make it throught a day, i would recommend to check the price for an replacment battery from samsung and get it build in in a shop, via samsung or do it by yourself.

btw would be great if you could post the price here, im interested!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] e753:
SOT 3h 30m max

battery price 13€

Shop: i will tell you

Samsung battery really original: I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
my advice, call samsung to get a original replacement battery and send your ebay one back.

3h30min SOT in my eyes is doable but thats up to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] e753:
Samsung says the price to "fix" the problem is about 65€

https://www.samsung.com/it/support/assistenzamobile/preventivo/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
sure, the service is included in that price. But when i called them to get only the battery, they gave me a phone number of an certified partner who only sold the battery without the repair service. That was for my s7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] e753:
I received the battery.. The QR code works and give me this code

GH43-04726A+AA1K129WS+13841

Is there any way to understand if it is original?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
not that i know, ill stick with my previous answere. There are no originals out there, because Samsung is only selling them themselfes.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] e753:
Thx, i see your point. But I had already bought it before you suggested me :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
Its ebay, just send it back :) and call Sammi befoehand to see if the sell you a battery replacment.

Easiest way to install TWRP AND root VIA Magisk..

Passed Google safetynet check too ;)

Download official rootkit from here:

= https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72287096&postcount=1

(read entire topic once)

Installed latest version for TWRP mido from this page = https://dl.twrp.me/mido/twrp-3.2.3-1-mido.img.html

Reason - So you have latest TWRP

Installed magisk instead of supersu (download latest magisk from here) = https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68966662&postcount=1

Rename AND Replace the latest downloaded TWRP file to recovery.img

and latest magisk to SuperSU.zip

These files are in Rootkit\nk7\ folder

VOILA you are done..

With USB debugging enabled connect your phone to PC and run the main file "Redmi Note 4 (SD) ROOT Toolkit.exe" in Rootkit folder.

It will automatically start the fastboot process.

Once done.. Follow instructions as listed in main toolkit topic:

[General Topics] c3g9fh:
I just read about a modded Nokia 3310, that sandboxes and clones the SIM, with a different IMSI every time, to prevent interception; but keeps your phone number, so you can still receive incomming calls. This phone is available worldwide, as it is not an IMEI changing phone, which are illegal in western markets, because of antiquated laws, that were originally designed to prevent airtime theft. The telecom equipment and administrative environment in the east is so new, that countries like India and China do not have either legacy environment; so you experience a less restrictive telecom environment there.

Anyway, here's the boiler plate text about this feature:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 -IMSI Change which is transforming the phone in a real sophisticated counterintelligence weapon. IMSI Change function does not require any Internet connection, third party servers or monthly subscription. This special function runs locally on the phone (Sandbox partition), being a unique function which no other phones offer at this time.

IMSI Change function allow user to change IMSI value (SIM registration number stored on the SIM card), by keeping the same phone number (MSISDN).

How does it work?

The phone will clone any SIM card inserted (please use only MNO SIM Cards) by using a Sandbox located app: IMSI Virtual Engine. Once cloned, the real SIM will be quarantined, being used instead a virtual SIM card which can change its IMSI by by generating valid IMSIs. Please note that abusing this function can generate SIM network rejection (network dependent). Use it carefully. IMSI Change does not work automatically, as IMEI change works. The user should launch IMSI Change every time when a new IMSI is needed, generating a new virtual IMSI and then exiting the application. The new generated IMSI will be used only for the next outgoing or incoming call. After that, the phone will return to original IMSI. If a new IMSI will be needed, the whole process should be repeated. Please note that MSISDN (the phone number) will not change when using IMSI change function. IMSI change function will transform your Phone in one of most powerful communications weapon: you will literally have a new SIM (IMSI) for every single phone call. Use it with precautions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gee, I'd sure like to teach my Samsung Galaxy this trick. Are there any apps that will do this, since this is a brand new technique without any curent legal restrictions?
