Keys to boot with Magisk

With Samsung A40 (A405FN) to boot the system with Magisk, you must simultaneously press the power button + volume up. As soon as the screen with the alert appears, remove both fingers. Immediately afterwards the screen will appear to continue booting, press the power button again.

Once again the screen with the alert will appear and the system will continue its restart.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] rootadvisor:
oh! i didnt know but it seams logic because the way the system boots with magisk, and the first time i tryed i had a boot loop as well ..... then i flashed the original image and tryed again..

Yes we have to wait for the TWRP release the this device, maybe it will be soon since a unoficial release of A50 is released on the forum maybe is a matter of time ... (i will be the first to try the unnoficial version if it comes out )

currently having two ways of boot(w/o magisk ) is not a great solution .
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] Cosmox_:
Hi guys,

Thanks for this thread, it helped me to get the phone rooted,

I would add that the data format can be done just before flashing the rooted firmware, this might reduce the stress of missing next boot on recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] copeppe:
So every time that I turn on the phone I must follow this procedure, otherwise I boot the phone as unrooted?

Help me to understand

Is there a way to boot the phone with root only pressing power button?

So if I root now the phone then I can't install a TWRP, and at this moment there isn't yet a TWRP for A40

It's not still perfect the root
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] salvachi:
Root always active?

There is no other way, we are waiting for TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] copeppe:
Do you think that with TWRP will be possible boot the phone in normal way keeping root?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] neojoey1:
hello guy, still not tutorial for root a40 ?

thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] neojoey1:
tuto root a40 please :)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] zavajon:
You have the link to tuorial at the first post: youtube watch? v=s2Xp-lQg1xs

The only difference for A40 is VolUp +VolDown + Plug Cable to boot into unlockng bootloader menu and Volume Up + Power to boot into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] neojoey1:
it work 100% ?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] Cosmox_:
Yes it works well.

The thing I didn't try is updating magisk su, has anyone tried?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] zavajon:
I've tried, no problems. Just I didn't restart the phone from magisk, but from system into recovery first. You should restart the phone into recovery each time, otherwise magisk is not loaded, so it's not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] copeppe:
This is really uncomfortable. And at this moment a twrp is missing for A40. Do you think that in future, there will be a way to boot the phone in normal way?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okiba:
Hi everyone,

So couple of year ago I worked at a start-up company that had an Android project. So I'm not new to flashing images (ROM, Recovery, radio...), and I know most basic tools like ADB (and I'm technical person in my daily life). That being said - I remember the pain when the Radio image doesn't fit the firmware, and you have to play around with stuff to make reception work again. or the Recovery image won't fit the ROM etc etc. I'm not sure if any of this probably still happen TODAY, but back then when I got my LG-G2 - I decided not to touch it. I don't need anything besides the basic options (making calls, taking pictures).

I'm still using Stock with 4.4.2 - and the phone is getting lagy each passing day to the point it's time to root it and install a custom rom.

As I mentioned above, I want it to be quick and painless. Sadly, I don't have the time to do insane amount of research right now, mainly because I have a 3 weeks old born at home - and I prefer to use my free time hanging with it that Q&N issues with my phone :)

So here's what I need your help with:

1. A recommendation for a tool to save all phone settings. Mostly - App settings, and OS settings (even though I probably not going to go for Stock again, but it doesn't hurt to back it up).

2. An instruction how to flash D802 (there' so many options this days...). My Kernel version is 3.4.0.

3. Recommended ROM to use. Here's what I need from a ROM.

a. I probably want to upgrade to more safe rooted Android version (I can't for example handle permissions on 4.4.2).

b. With that, I don't want to install the latest Android only to figure it's running slowly on LG G2, I want the interface to be snappy (the Stock was snappy for a while).

c. I prefer Minimal ROM if possible with Google Apps installed. If I'll need something, I can install it myself.

d. One of the reason I didn't root up until now, was because people mentioned camera quality is meh with non stock roms. If possible, I will like to have a decent Camera quality.

e. I use my phone as a music player often. So good sound quality is important to me (and maybe even build in Parametrized EQ?).

Thank you! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zizuka:
Reading around the forum would have taken just about the same amount of time than writing your post. A post, mind you, that will get you the same as what you can already find with ease.

You managed to write with your kid around. Last time I checked, browsing takes less effort.

Rant out.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okiba:
Instead of a rant, here's an actual help for people who might find it useful in the future and lack the time to do some proper research (as it took more than the 5 minutes it took me to write the original post). Please note that I won't take any responsibility for possible damages you may do to your system. Please use at your own risk. Also, note that I only tried it on LG G2 802 with Stock Kit Kat (4.2.2) and other version/OS version might not work.

I wasn't clear to me if 'One Click Root' work with Kit Kat bootloader, so I used 'ioroot'. When your done rooting your phone, you will need to flash a TWRP recovery. The easiest way to do it is by using AutoRec. However, the TWRP recovery installed with AutoRec doesn't have Thermal protection, and is dangerous to use according to the forums. So the next thing will be flashing a new TWRP version from the recovery. Blastgater have tweaked TWRP Recovery for LG devices. You can download the latest version here. It's basically a zip file you flash from within your old TWRP.

Regarding ROM, after doing some research - it looks like Lineage will be the best 'all-around' rom to use. Liveage 15/16 were too slow for my liking, so I went with 14.1 (Android 7.1) which was enough for me and snappy to use. However, the tricky part if your plan on using Lineage, is to flash a bootstack as the one coming with Stock won't work. It's just another zip to flash directly from the recovery and can be found here.

So this is just the high-level process, and I highly suggest checking the specific on the links I sent. It also helps if you know how to handle 'adb' and know the basic stuff like what bootloader and recovery are

Good luck.

Dark themed Pixel Bootloader Theme

This bootloader theme makes your bootloader more Pixel-like. It changes the boot logo to a Dark, colourful one. And then I changed a bunch of other things, because why not make it look pretty.

Note: These aren't the official bootloader images from the Pixel. I haven't seen the bootloader for the Pixel, but I do know that the Pixel has a colourised Google logo.

Curious? Here are a few screenshots!

h-ttps://drive.google.com/open?id=10L90QMMCLrsOfWCwQIbTtd7hPl7ObGrz

1. Download the bootloader theme. This can be found below.

2. Flash the image on your phone by booting into twrp and flashing the zip.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supermatt01:
Oppo has locked down the bootloader of their new devices from somewhere between 2018 and 2019. I can't root or install TWRP. Can anyone help out on this problem? I will be testing any method suggested. (if this is wrong place to post, please someone help me move it to the right place. I searched but couldn't find the place this goes.)

Okay, so this thing can't be unlocked for now, but there's a temp root solution. https://xdaforums.com/android/development/amazing-temp-root-mediatek-armv8-t3922213 this does work. But you need to have an OPPO F11 specific suboot script to put in the init.d folder. I don't have permission to post the file here. So talk with the dev on the thread and he'll set you up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supermatt01:
Hi guys, I know that not many people are using Oppo phones. But it would be different if they supported the development community by giving access to the bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supermatt01:
They lie about the bootloader every time I ask them. My suggestion is that if you want to stick with OPPO never get an MTK version. They release bootloader unlock tools for the high end snapdragon chipset phones that they make. But others they lie about. I'm personally done with OPPO. This will be my only OPPO purchase. I clearly was misled by lies online about easy rooting and unlocking on OPPO devices. XDA wasn't much help with how they continue to promote OPPO even though it is not a development friendly OEM. My advice is to avoid OPPO devices.
