[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Causical:
If you're coming from stock OOS (have not flashed a custom Rom) then you already have an OOS based Rom on both slots (preferably the stable variant 9.0.14)... The point is to have a stable base to flash a custom Rom on top of so that there aren't any residuals from a previous Rom causing conflicts with your current Rom. Also flashing to both slots ensures that you won't run into encryption/decryption problems. The best way to describe the slots is it's like having two of the exact same thing, instead of flashing your device traditionally, you'll need to do it for both slots as if it were two different phones in one.

TWRP runs a script to flash to both A and B slots, Roms always install on the slot opposite to the one you're currently booted on (inactive) and Magisk/kernels/Mods always flash to your current slot.

So in my personal opinion you may as well ALWAYS have both of your slots the same since you only ever boot one and the other is just a back up and you'll just run into encryption problems anyhow if you don't.

So the confusion about understanding the slots most likely arises from the fact that everything you flash (recovery, Roms, Magisk) all flash to the slots differently. The slots themselves aren't actually confusing at all, they're simply two sides of the exact same traditional flashing method you're used to from the pre-A/B days. You just gotta make sure your flashing all the same stuff to both sides.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dictum9:
I got this AT&T Note 4 used, with MM version of android and it had multiple issues, freezing, lagging, ultimate crashing never booting again. I thought it was related to the MM update and downgraded to Lollipop (5.1). Also installed WakeLock app.

The problems seem to have gone away for the most part - no freezing or crashing except that it does not reboot by itself.

You have to remove the battery, hold down the power button for a minute and then it boots.

But if you just shut it down, it's dead. It won't even charge.

Any idea what's going on with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Snowby123:
So I think at this point the only solution too my problem is to perform a factory data reset, but would like some suggestions before I try that.

I got substratum working, and I tried installing a paid theme, but didn't like it so I uninstalled it. After I got the refund I realized that the modifications caused by the overlays stayed, but they are causing problems. Namely, anything in the phone that requires a yes or no response won't give me that option. I attached a screen shot of the problem. It shows I can't uninstall the overlays through the substratum app. I can't authorize adb on my computer either. Nor can I gain access to the settings menu on my phone, as the other screenshot shows.

Any ideas?

So far Kingroot is not effective for A50
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
Thanks for your research and this manual! I've been trying your steps for a few hours now, and after a few trial and errors, softbricks and reboots I'm still not able to succeed.

Magisk Manager won't show up in the apps after setup wizard. Installing it manually, it says Magisk is not installed :(

My phone: A70 from the Netherlands. I used Israel firmware from updato.com (https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=440E12D670B911E9BE8CFA163EE8F90B) and your file (which is same size after patching). Unfortunately I can't find Dutch firmware, hence the Israel version.

Anybody else succeeded?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Avicohen21:
thank you for the feedback!

did you flashed the whole firmware? with BL, patched AP,CP and CSC? on the google drive folder I have to full firmware try to download that.

maybe you do have it installed but you didn't boot corectly. try to turn off your phone then hold volume up+power button and hold them untill you see the galaxy a70 powered by android. and then check magisk! I hope it helped!
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
Will try and flash complete firmware with all your Drive files tomorrow! Hope it will succeed
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] infearno:
I wait for your success, because I'm trying to decide to buy or not this device (root is very important to me)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
I have good hope that this device can be rooted considering my past Samsung devices, it is only a matter or time.

I'm downloading the files again now, and going to try! Will report back a.s.a.p.

Edit:

Installed everyhing from your files in Odin: BL, AP (patched), CP, CSC and:

It worked! Magisk installed, Magisk Manager updated. I could install AdAway and it asked for root permissions.

But... after reboot Magisk Manager said it is NOT installed anymore. Now what?

Edit 2:

It seems Magisk sometimes fails to load when booting. After some reboots, it is back again and AdAway works. So end of the story: IT WORKS, and it Magisk starts to nag that is it not installed, just reboot a couple of times, and enjoy your rooted phone :D

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Avicohen21:
Yay I'm happy it worked!

Magisk isn't loading because of you want to boot with magisk you need to hold the volume up and power button together untill you see the bootloader unlocked warning and it asks your to press the power button to continue then release press the power button. I usually press volume up and power button again for 2 sec to make sure and that's it! Reboot won't boot with magisk sure make sure u use this method each time you need to reboot!
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] infearno:
That's...unfortunate. Any way to unlock samsung fully?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Avicohen21:
It's not that bad, even if you accidentally booted without magisk just turn off the phone and boot with the way I mentioned and magisk is back!

If you normally power up your phone just pressing the power button with this method just add the volume up and hold both button together for 4 to 5 sec.

Right now it's the only way to root that I found. Maybe with twrp things will get easier.

And one more thing if you install magisk module don't press reboot after your install just power off and boot the way I mentioned that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
I tested a few reboots, and this is how my A70 behaves:

X Reboot without pressing any buttons: no Magisk :(

X Reboot, pressing the power button when prompted: no Magisk :(

V Reboot, hold power button + volume up button, press power button to confirm: Magisk :victory:

Well, that's good enough for me! I am happy :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Avicohen21:
Yeah that's right my English is not perfect maybe I didn't explained it good enough but that's what I meant! Thank you for trying. That's good enough for me also.

I also installed EdExposed and it's working good with modules that are confirmed to work with Android pie.

Next thing is trying to flash mods with flashify or something because we don't have twrp yet.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
There is more good news!

I got EdXposed working following this manual, using the SandHook version: https://magiskroot.net/download-xposed-for-android-pie

For the Dutch version (EU) you should download the ones with A705FNXXU1ASE4 in the file. This is the AP version that currently holds the Dutch PHN CSC. I am currently not able to download a file with 100kb/s. I tried paying somewhere around $3 for a quicker download, but they demand credit card details and I am just not into that.

If I understand it correctly the current version which OP uses doesn't support Nederlands/Dutch? I do really want Dutch.

Let me know!

EDIT:

Download SamFirm from XDA. Put SM-A705FN in the model box and PHN in the region box. Check Auto and click Check Update. You can now download the dutch firmware file with aprox. 6mb/s.[IMG="Samfirm"]https://i.ibb.co/QQYMkyX/samfirm.png[/IMG]

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Figured As Much..

With ZERO INTEREST from any Developer.. IMO there is no need to sacrifice the A70's features for Root Access.

I have not pulled the trigger.. I may just pony up another $200.00 USD and go with with an Exynos 9810 Note 9 ( And have 100% of what Samsung has to offer ) but, if I do draw the line @ $400.00 I'm not going to give up the main feature that make the A70 stand out over the A50.. in having the full version of Samsung Pay which Rooting would take away.. if that's the case, I may as well save another $120.00 and just go with the A50 @ $280.00.. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] devilhunter47:

You don't need to hold the volume up and power button together any more again after the latest Magisk update. I picked up my phone this morning, opened the magisk app and it prompted me that there's an update and I immediately downloaded and installed the update and to my greatest surprise, since I installed the update, I don't need to press volume up button again to boot into Magisk/Root. Now after this update today,I press only the power button just like normal booting and and it boots straight to Magisk with full root access. Thanks everybody and thanks to the new update

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain Beretta:
It is the other way around with MY A70:

- When I DON'T press the Volume Up & Power Button, the phone comes in a bootloop :confused:

- When I DO press the buttons, the phone starts with Magisk enabled :good:

So actually, I don't have a way to turn OFF root :silly:

Sometimes I need to disable root, so I hope the next update allow me to boot up unrooted again, instead of bootloop....

edit:

i downloaded PDA A705FNXXU1ASE4 turkey CSC A705FNOJM1ASE4 from sammobile to my snapdragon a70. magsk patched tar file but when i flashed patched tar file phone said "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"

oem is unlocked

usb debug is on

bootloader is unlocked...

now i am downloading op's google drive files to test...

edit 2:

did everything what op said. first boot was success but i forget to boot with the combination. So before the initial setup i rebooted the phone with combination. From that moment a message kept coming whenever i boot the phone. with the combination or not, phone never powered on again. message was something like "autorized firmware are allowed"

edit 3:

root or unroot once you make the phone 0x1 which means you trigger the counter, even if you format and flash stock rom back you will never be able to use samsung pass again

[MENTION=8080004]Avicohen21[/MENTION]

It's much like rooting Tab A T510 and Tab S5e T720, but the way I did is kinda different.

If ROM version is the same, just flash the patched ROM with Odin.

If ROM version is a later one, you should flash full ROM then flash patched ROM.

However, you should browse patched ROM with 7zip and remove everything except boot.img, vbmeta.img, recovery.img, and the folder.

The way to root is much the same. Enter stock recovery and wipe after flashed with patched ROM

Press and hold volume up and power button to power on until you see bootloader warning to enable root
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootTheAndroid:
I have tried by patching the AP file with magisk. When I load all the firmware files in Odin, all the other files are MD5 but AP is tar. Odin checks the other files for MD5 check (as visible in Log panel of Odin) but for the patched AP nothing is shown in Log. And when I click on START the process FAILS!!! (will tell the exact error below in a minute)

I have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

USB DEBUGGING is selected in Dev Options

I m using the patched AP of the FIRMWARE ALREADY INSTALLED i.e. latest A705FNXXU3ASG6.

Any ideas??? What could I be doing wrong?? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The order of the Log is as under:

Setup connection

Initialization

Set PIT file

DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!

Get PIT for mapping

Firmware update start..

NAND write start!

Single Download

abl.elf

FAIL! (Auth)

Complete (Write) operation failed.

Do not flash everything with patched AP file

If you'd like to install AP, BL, and CSC (or home CSC), everything must be 100% stock. You can flash patched AP later
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootTheAndroid:
Thanks dear. Grateful for your input. Actually I have done the same thing as you have suggested. FIRST I flashed whole STOCK ROM. THEN I tried to flash PATCHED AP of the SAME stock Rom. But still it FAILS. It flashed ONLY when I DELETED all other files in the patched Tar (leaving only meta folder, recovery, boot and vbmeta) AFTER the flashing was done, I rebooted the phone in RECOVERY instead of system. I did FACTORY RESET and then booted the SYSTEM. The system took some time to boot as was expected. But there is THIS PROBLEM!!! I DONT SEE ANY MAGISK in the apps. Even I installed MAGISK Manager but it also shows MAGISK NOT INSTALLED!

ROOT CHECKER also showed NO ROOT!

Now what......?

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Thanks for the inputs dear. This is the progress:

Installed WHOLE STOCK ROM

Made PATCHED AP from the SAME STOCK ROM

Tried to flash it alone but FAILED!

Then as told in one post, I DELETED certain files from the patched AP using 7 zip (leaving only meta data folder, recovery, boot and vbmeta). IT FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY!

I rebooted in the RECOVERY instead of System.

The startup screen displayed a message that the ROM on my device is NOT OFFICIAL.

Did FACTORY RESET.

Rebooted in SYSTEM.

Everything was fine but THIS PROBLEM! NO MAGISK visible in the apps. I installed MAGISK Manager but it also showed that MAGISK was not installed. ROOT CHECKER also showed NO ROOT!

Now what......?

(sorry for duplicate post by mistake)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
Press and hold power and volume up to turn on the phone until you see bootloader warning and release buttons to enable root

Press both all the way you will see stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootTheAndroid:
Finally, I did it right....:laugh:

I was making a critical mistake. I was trying to flash patched AP of ASF5 version on ASG6 firmware. I had earlier flashed whole ASF5 firmware which later on got updated to ASG6 by OTA update. That's what kept me thinking that I should use AP of the same ASF5 firmware. I downloaded full firmware of ASG6 and EVENTUALLY I got a ROOTED A70!!!

I also flashed Ed XPOSED module through Magisk and now Xposed Framework is active. EVERYTHING WORKING FINE.

Just one IMPORTANT thing....I have to reboot the device, whenever required, by Volume up + Power combination to maintain root. Soft reboot leads to rootless system. But that's not a big deal, considering there is no other root option available at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the guidance. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Clasimodo:
I would love to have xposed, but somehow it's not working. It doesn't see the framework. Could you please tell me which versions of what modules you have running? Thanks.
