@ElsaReyes

I'm curious if and what you are removing after obtaining root. I've gone from March through June updates without any issue.

Also, for those encountering issues with Netflix, you can download the APK or read/install the following through Magisk Manager:

liboemcrypto-disabler

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/magisk-liboemcrypto-disabler-drm-t3794393

I also believe, within Magisk, you can hide Netflix from detecting root but I've always used the above method. Mileage may vary.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] DRAGON_poop:
Hello everyone, I just bought the s5e as my first tablet. Would you recommend that I first do the ota update before attempting to root?

In the past I have rooted a Nexus5, and OnePlus 1 and 3. However, I never worked with odin, so I am a little hesitant. But I'm ready to go ahead. I just wanted to ask that question first.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] RagingHarry:
I updated it before rooting, safes unnecessary extra steps.

You might want read this in advance to understand the procedure a bit better.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/install.md

The other files in the docs folder also contain good info to read, better know to much than being sorry.

If you unlock bootloader to this and root it, do u lose the drm l1 so netflix hd?

+ do u void warranty and hit knox counter?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] RagingHarry:
Drm l1, I don't know.

Knox and counter, country specific, herein the Netherlands warranty isn't void by law.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ElsaReyes:
Small update, the crashing hasn't happened in several days now. For some reason it seems it was the screenshot app I used causing it, or so I assume as after I stopped the crashes stopped. It's weird though as I've used it for so long and it's only now that it caused problems, and it hasn't updated since November so, -shrugs- Guess something about the newest Magisk didn't agree with it or something, I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] DRAGON_poop:
In Step 8 of the instructions for Samsung it reads:

"Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do."

But PewPewK's instruction (#10) only mentions to flash AP. Should I only put the tar file in AP, and leave the BL, CP and CSC boxes untouched?

Can anyone please help me? [MENTION=5624202]PewPewK[/MENTION]

Edit: I found the solution
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] RagingHarry:
For me the [MENTION=658468]topjohn[/MENTION]sw aka magisk worked better including that odin version, resulted in a no error flash.

The Patched D version of odin was any time of 8 fail end on modem.

Also adb pulling the magisk patched ap file seems a must, for me that tutorial was tye first full successfull flash, that's why I was redirecting there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
Yes, after root, Netflix is only presented in HD AND you'll need to sideline the APK OR use Magisk Manager to install a workaround (liboemcrypto).

And, finally, adding root will increment the Knox counter and, depending on your region/territory/country, you may also lose warranty eligibility.

Can anyone pls help me?

I am not succeeding using odin. It keeping failing at modem.bin

I've got the right firmware version for the June update, using oding 3.13.1_3B_PatcheD (tried the latest odin, and that failed too)

In Odin i keep the CP slot empty, while adding the patched tar file in AP, and the BL and CSC files that come with the firmware for my device (canada).

You want to flash patch or stock?

Try just AP to flash, no modem
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] DRAGON_poop:
i want to flash the patch created by magisk when I load the AP in it.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/install.md

in # 7 method for samsung, topjohnwu writes "Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do." That is why i loaded BL AP and CSC files. I haven't gotten a chance to use the tablet but I feel as if pulling the patched tar file through adb might work. That is the only thing I didn't do exactly.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] RagingHarry:
Above is the post before.

Following the post before yours worked for me perfectly, did That a few weeks before today (read all the md"s to be sure what I was doing)

Your linked guide does not mention corruption problems using mtp for copying files, where as topjohnwu writes about in the github .md

I did use mtp the first and ran into trouble with patched files, later I tried to adb pull them and flashed with other "mentioned" files, worked perfect. (note used latest official odin, the patchedD didn't work properly, again the Auth modem failure, even on full stock June firmware)

The other needed mentioned key combos to do so are well described in this thread in the tutorials.

For me the #7 was a must, and topjohnwu doesn't say stuff for nothing..

He's the W(s)u master..

So actually all the needed info could've be found here, and your link is confusing others, cause it is missing up to date info.

Please don't take it hard, but I rather follow a guide by topjohnwu then any other on rooting..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NSD:
Anyone know if John Wu's method works on S5e SM-T720 (Canada)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
Yes it will.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] DRAGON_poop:
I have pulled the patched ap file created by magisk through adb, but the odin for mac (jOdin) fails to retrieve a PIT file. For the Odin on windows there isn't any prompt for a PIT file, and after searching through previous threads regarding it, people say it is not needed. However, jodin does not seem to want to start flashing without it. Would anyone here have the PIT file of Model number SM-T720? How i wish I had easy access to windows right now. I will try to get access to another machine in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NSD:
For the life of me I can't get Odin 3.13.1 to recognize the device in download mode, not sure how to proceed. Different cables, different ports (2.0 and 3.0), different computers (Win 8.1, 10) I just keep getting Code 43 (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
Does Windows recognize the Tablet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NSD:
Turns out all I had to do was just wait a few hours and it would magically start working... But now I have a new issue. Odin fails due to missing modem file since the Canadian version is wifi only and I'm scared to flash the AUS modem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
This is exactly how your 'magisk_patched.tar' should look.

Don't put anything else in there.

Aldo it doesn't matter what version of software you use; all versions of SM-T720 use the exact same hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NSD:
John Wu's instructions from here say you have to add files for BL, AP, CP and CSC right? Also my tar doesn't look like your screenshot. Did you manually remove the .lz4 files that were in it, and are flashing it by itself (so only AP checked in Odin)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
I understand the instructions you're referring to but see the following post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79547905&postcount=18

This is what many of us have been using as a template.

And yes, you are correct. I removed several files and only flashed the requisite files via Odin using the AP slot.

I'm including a before and after screenshot to elaborate.

I guess my final question for you would be - do you know if it's possible to return the device to full stock status (and make the warnings go away)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
You absolutely can.

The only reason you're seeing the error thrown is because the bootloader is unlocked.

Once you relock it and return to stock, all is well in the world again.

(Except you tripped Knox and won't have access to any Knox-specific features and may lose access to warranty.)

Hi,

i have some problems rooting the device.

Bootloader unlocked (the message appeared that BL is unlocked).

Installed Magisk (canary and stable), did all the stuff with the AP file. (install magisk, not the manager)

Flashed with odin. (as some said before, modem error.).

Power+vol down to recovery, factory reset.

Reboot.

Now comes the problem. Some sources are talking different stuff:

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/guide-comprehensive-t510-root-guide-t3929671

Of course we have no Bixby button. But tried both methodes.

Then did default install. Installed Magisk App.

But still Magisk is not installed.

After Factory reset, when i press Power+Volup, i always enter Recovery.

Any idea?

Btw, i'm on latest factory:

[General Questions and Answers] Bl4DEx:
Hello,

i have a Huawei Honor 6X (BLN-L21):

Multitool picture while phone is connected via fastboot:

ibb.co/Ykk6DdP

I had LineageOS 14.1 installed on my phone but I was missing some of the EMUI features. I decided to go back to EMUI (EMUI5.0). Everything worked fine. After that I wanted to install Magisk with this tutorial: How to install Magisk (xda)

After flashing the zip with TWRP the phone wanted a password for decrypting. I entered my normal screen lock pin. After checking it was saying that the password ist correct but my files were corrupted. I had to click on "reset phone" which was starting something like "factory reset lowlevel" but the same issue appeared after that.

I decided to get the firmware BLN-L21C432B382 with the Firmware Finder and I am having trouble to install that. First I wiped with TWRP then installed stock recovery and stock erecovery but when I try to force install the stock firmware, the installation gets stuck at 5% and then skips all the way to 100% and restarts. After the reboot I can see the Honor boot animation but it restarts before the normal screen appears. I guess this is called a bootloop. Any suggestions about it?

PS: I already tried to use erecovery to download the right firmware but its telling me "getting package info failed"

Bootanimation from X00TD.

Device Fingerprint Fixed (No More CTS Mismatch).

PIxelmaster Camera can be downloaded from PlayStore and works well.

No need to flash any kind of patches (AIM_FIX, PORT615, etc).

I sure hope I'm in the right place. I have a Galaxy S8, Android 8, Samsung Experience 9.

Some things don't add up for me with android, I was hoping there's a solution:

> Most important: Is there a way to determine notifications order at the lock screen? Sort them by app, not by time? This is very frustrating.

> Call recording: I'm not updating to android 9 because I need to record all my calls automatically (MUST be automatically) and by name (this basically why I switched to an Android phone).

Is there a solution for this? I understand apps like ACR records but with no contact indication.

There are actually a lot more I have collected: bugs, UX problems, and issued related to the Android version of apps like Whatsapp and Facebook (as opposed to IOS versions), but these 2 questions are most important to me.

If this is not the place to ask, I am sorry, please point me to the right place.
