The way to get the A50 rooted (almost) free of trouble and random reboots, is installing the samsung original (updated) rom with magisk (patched) no matter the version as the TWRP is patched with the 20.1 and after you install the TWRP (it's compatible with ASL6 for A505FN - my phone), you must downgrade the magisk to 19.3 which is the most stable version. I'm using this, almost free of trouble
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] ken8864:
I am stucked on modem_debug.log

have you tried with Magisk-v20.3 + A505FDDS4ATA1_A505FOLM4ATA1_XME + MagiskManager-v7.5.1 + Odin3 v3.14.1?

all the latest version, as suggested to the guide, you need to first reboot with magisk option in order to get it work properly.

I hope it works for me. but i get stucked on flashing
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
Magisk 20.3 causes random reboots just like the 20.1. The most stable version it's the 19.3.

If you want to install the custom patched TWRP, you should downgrade magisk to 19.3 after that, because the TWRP is patched with the 20.1.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] LucasUruguay:
It roots everything normal, but instead of using 20.1, you use 19.3?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
Yup, i had to downgrade to 19.3 after install the TWRP, to get rid of the constant random reboots. Now it's fine

Hello, is there any problem to root an A50 with baseband A505FXXU3ASL6 ??, I read at the beginning that 'ASH2 baseband version only'.

If so, can I downgrade to this baseband? Thank you very much.

P.D. In the initial tutorial, it should be said that data is needed on the phone to patch. What a fight ...
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
The baseband is ASG3 and not ASG2. The ASG2 is the modem version. You can downgrade to ASG3 but you have to patch the magisk to use with ASG3

Well as you have modified your post, to ASL6, that is not a downgrade. ASL6 is the latest update. I recommend you not to do that.. ASL6 is a mess. Battery drain, phone is very slow opening the apps, the fingerprint issue is not fixed.. after 2 days using ASL6 i have downgraded to ASL1, the best in my opinion. In any version you want to use, you must patch the magisk with the version you are using.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] FN-A505FXXU2ASG2:
Ok, thank you, the mobile is new, yesterday I was unable to download the firmware that the mobile brought when I took it out of the box with the Frija, only the latest version, and I put it on (Sanmobile has died for me). Can I downgrade then from the ASL6 baseband, and put the previous one with the ASL1 baseband? Thanks again and sorry for my google translate english :o.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] FN-A505FXXU2ASG2:
I have downgrade it and I have done the root process step by step, the phone resets itself when starting and looking for updates, I repeat the process and when putting the firmware again it stays at 95% half an hour ... Reset and brick in emergency recovery. Unbrick with Odin 3.13.3 and put firm without Root (Odin 3.14.1 don´t unbrick) . Enough for today :(
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] FN-A505FXXU2ASG2:
This method does not work on my SM-A505FN with compilation PPR1.180610.011-A505FNXXS3ASL1 (downgraded from latest). Better if remove it from here to save people headaches and bricks (I have tried half a dozen times, bricks included).

This other method worked for me at first time without any problem:fingers-crossed::

Can you tell me complete guide to have root + magisk? I did all steps but Magisk fail

Can you tell me full guide of root? I did all the steps but Magisk says it is not updated/installes and I can't update no matter what
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
You have to pay me a 50cl black beer for this.. haha

FIRST OF ALL

: backup all the things you need, then follow the next steps:

1- Go to recovery, and perform a factory reset. After that put the phone in download mode and flash the rom via ODIN (put BL file in BL field, AP file in AP field, CP file in CP field, and HOME_CSC in CSC field)

2- When the phone starts, don't create any account as you will have to erase all the data again, don't install any apps, let playstore do the updates, and then: Put MAGISK MANAGER in your download folder as well as the AP file of the rom you flashed.

3- Install magisk manager and patch it (i advise you to patch with the 19.3 - the most stable version with no random reboots for the A50)

HOW TO: open magisk manager -> settings -> update channel (select CUSTOM) and put the magisk 19.3 link there which is: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/raw/3dec54c8a850660e3420f7668c7fb6dc8f7c199b/stable.json (open this link in a new window as the complete link is not showing.

After this, refresh the magisk main page, and you'l see magisk 19.3 there

4 - In magisk manager, click INSTALL and SELECT AND PATCH A FILE: the file you will select is the AP file you put in your download folder (magisk will patch the file to get the root). When it finishes, you'll see a file in your download folder named: MAGISK_PATCHED.

5 - Copy MAGISK_PATCHED to your computer folder where you have the BL, AP, CP and CSC files of the rom

6- Go to recovery and perform a wipe/factory reset

7 - Put the phone in download mode, open ODIN and put the following files on the fields:

-BL file in BL field

-MAGISK_PATCHED in AP field

-CP file in CP field

-HOME_CSC in CSC field

8- After the phone reboots, most probably you'll get a reboot on the first or second config menu, don't worry it won't reboot again. Do the configs you need, install the apps of the config menu you want, let the playstore do the updates, and after that, put magisk manager in your download folder and install it.

9- Open magisk manager and you'll see the magisk 19.3 installed (the magisk will ask you to do the environment job and after that the phone will reboot).

10 - When the phone starts, wait 2 or 3 minutes and

POWER OFF

the phone to prevent losing the root. If you need to reboot your phone, don't click on reboot, otherwise the phone reboots without root. Always power off, and power on. If the phone starts without root, you must do this to get the root again: power on the phone clicking on POWER and VOL UP buttons until the samsung a50 screen appears, then release both.

This is the most stable way to get the A50 rooted free of problems. This is the process to do in the A505FN, i don't know if it will work on other variants.

The phone is now rooted with stock recovery. If you want to install the custom TWRP, you can flash it but the TWRP is patched with magisk 20.1 and the random reboots will come if you install the TWRP. You must downgrade magisk to 19.3 after install it. If you want a tutorial how to do it, just let me know.

Did you lose root after rebooting phone?

Thanks a lot. I have the GT version, gonna try.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jgbrltbncsk:
So I did it all just like you said, all fine but i ended up with Magisk 20.3 and I don't know why. So far no reboots til now, maybe i should downgrade still? I have no TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
Magisk 20.1 and above always gave me random reboots. the stable version is the 19,3. If you have no random reboots you can stay with 20.3

If you want to downgrade, just go to magisk settings -> update channel -> custom and insert this link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/raw/3dec54c8a850660e3420f7668c7fb6dc8f7c199b/stable.json (open this link in a new window and copy the link to the field

After that, refresh magisk main page, select install, then direct install. Magisk will be dowgraded to 19.3
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jgbrltbncsk:
The thing is when I opened Magisk (step 9) it showed Magisk 19.3 but asked for an update, and i proceeded, anyway. I'm afraid of making downgrade because I alreaady tried that with another root methods and and after all it always shows "Magisk not installed".
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
No, don't update it. Stay in 19,3 which is the most stable. if it shows 19.3 there, you don't need to do anything more
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jgbrltbncsk:
I think you didn't understand. In step 9 Magisk should've shown the 19.3v installed, right? It was, indeed, but it said it needed an update (it was on version 19.3 and not green., it was blue), so i did the update and the phone rebooted with 20.3v, rooted, no reboots so far since then.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] rianven:
Hi, I tried this exact method of downgrading. But I encounter a problem.

I rooted my SM-A505F using the exact method from this thread and running smoothly except the constant rebooting. However, I tried to downgrade with your method and suddenly it won't boot to rooted system. It keeps showing samsung logo (the one after the "samsung a50 powered by knox" logo passed ). At least, I can boot normally to a non-rooted system now. Any idea how to solve this?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
yes i understood, you should not have did the upgrade, as long is shows magisk 19.3 installed, it's all ok, but if you have no problems with version 20.3 it's all fine too.

I am newbie help me :(
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasoncardeira:
OTA updates won't be available on a rooted phone. Downgrading magisk to v19.3 fixes the random reboots almost 100% (I've tested about 6 or 7 versions of magisk. The 19.3 it's the most stable until now)

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

It's better to patch the rom with magisk 19.3.. If you patch the rom with the latest version of magisk the phone will be very unstable (random reboots everytime)

You won't get OTA updates once you root the phone. You can check the updates (stock rom) for example in www.samfrew.com (just put your phone variant in the field to search for the latest firmware, then you have to patch magisk, and flash the new firmware)

I think I posted this in the wrong thread the other day,
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reyniza:
This is just a testimony, I already try this method and it's working just fine. A50f DS, just encountered one time random reboot but everything just fine. I think I use for almost 2 weeks and then I choose to use twrp so I rooting my phone with twrp now. With customROM.

As far as my understanding, this method from top johnwu can't working properly once we install twrp into it. (Once we install twrp we lost the magisk from the system, and need to boot recovery in case we need to use root privileges).

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Follow the step in this thread, if you can find your stock firmware then you can root it. I think this method is universal for every android device run system as root or A/B. (I am not sure because I only try this on a50f DS)

My device is A50(SM-A505F), Region: Vietnam. I was received an update in March.

I have followed your instructions but my device was blocked and I cannot patch file AP into Odin

I need an support!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reyniza:
More specific information will help bro. Why can't you patch AP file? Can you access the phone download mode?

If you got stuck, probably you need to fresh start again, flush the entire stock firmware.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Unrooted the phone means you need to lock the bootloader again, which is kinda riskier than unlock it.

If you want to remove the root privileges, just flash the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] wikiuse:
Thank you. My device was rooted by Magisk
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reyniza:
Follow the instructions in this thread, for me it's like universal magisk root. Can be applied on any device, since you just patched the firmware and no need to add any other things.

But pls be careful on the method, root can cause serious damage to your device if you messed up.

after flashing with odin it goes till "installing applications" then goes back to the samsung screen

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradford1040:
Yeah I know about damage, from what I keep seeing it is not worth the risk yet. I see allot of boot loops and bricked issues. I see multiple sites that say it is possible, but truth is xda forums have never let me down and once I see a few successful roots with my model number I am going to do it.

Hello,

since I've installed the last HTC ROM, I have a big problem : all my I/O accesses to the SDHC card are very very slow...

If I copy a file from my PC to the SDHC card, the speed is fine.

But if, for exemple, I launch a CAB file on the SDHC card, the installation of the CAB file is very very slow.

Does anyone else have this problem ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eXceed:
I have the opposite.... when I'm copying a file from my PC to my phone (for example 2gigs of movies) it takes nearly an hour. When the card is connected directly to my PC it takes about 5-10mins... I don't have any problems on the device as far as I can tell...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vertpoulpe:
I have same kind of problems. When I put my SDHC away, everything works fine. My SDHC is a 4 Go and it worked OK before I updated. Now, it happend that my device slows down or freeze during long seconds. What is going on ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] illuminarok:
That's because the Titan is USB 1.1 so you need to insert the card into the PC directly for optimal data transfer rates.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greg3d:
No issue with copying to my 8gb SDHC. From the PC I am connected to a USB 2.0 hub. Launching Cabs from the card works just fine as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xmoo:
I have no ISSUE!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I agree the fastest option is to transfer large files using the USB 2.0 Hi speed card reader (assuming one came with the card). The TyTN II is a USB 2.0 Full Speed device which doesn't offer the same performance as USB 2.0 Hi speed but thats not the reason for the especially slow performance. There are several threads about this issue including here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=350347

and here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=354629

I've just upgraded my TyTN IIs firmware using HTC eClub (upgrading my sig here next) and transfers using Activesync seem just as slow as they've always been. Perhaps next Microsoft can upgrade Activesync/WMDC to reduce that bottleneck. They really must try harder WRT Activesync IMO.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
I have exactly the same issue : my device freezes all the time, for about 10-20 seconds, and sometimes it does also slow down....

I should make a new specific post for that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vertpoulpe:
I think it can be linked with the RADIO rom... But i am not sure... My provider is ORANGE France... Does it have something to do ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
My provider is also Orange France.

But I've found out what the problem was : Quick Menu.

Since I removed it, the Kaiser does not freeze anymore. I talk about that in another specific thread.

Hi,

Is it possible to use tasker to turn hotspot on with specific AP band (2.4ghz or 5.0ghz)

I'm using my hotspot on both car and computer. Need to use 5.0ghz hotspot for my computer and 2.4ghz for my car since the head unit only support 2.4ghz only.

For now I can only use tasker to turn on hotspot when connect to my car bluetooth but it will automatically use previous AP band that i used with my computer before which is 5.0ghz. So need to change the AP band manually each time enter my car.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Tissot Classic Dream QuartzItem number T0334103305101

I recently purchase this item from amazon for around $210. I am a bit worry that it might be a fake but I am not a watch expert. As a matter of fact this is my first mid-range watch (So I am a bit suspicious). I do want to go to a Tissot shop to remove some links for free but I want to avoid bringing in a fake watch and feel a little embarrass. What worry me is the watch suppose to have such a glare when some light hits it. I mean everywhere especially the dial (I do not know if you can see but some pictures have a glare when I was taking picture. There isn't a warranty card or it is tuck away but I cannot find it. However, something I notice while I was playing around with it. When the second hand moves, there is a tick sound. It is neat because my Seiko watch makes no sound but is it suppose to make the tick sound. There is also a tick sound when I change the calendar date on the watch. Actually I started this post from another forum but that forum wasn't very active and I spent a little more time making that post. If you want this link will not have individual weblink to the photos.

I can take more picture or specific part of the watch upon request. Any help will be appreciated. Apologize for soo much photo. Like I mention before the glare was making it a little difficult to take a clear picture but I took the ones that are best.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] dicks66:
I had EMUI9.1 offered via HiCare. But when I clicked the new version in the "Software update" screen, I saw a short black screen and then nothing. It had downloaded 9.1.0.300 though, but the installer won't start.

So I waited 2 days and at regular times the system would show a popup if I want to install it. I clicked "Install now" and then a screen flashed and nothing happened.

This is how I got it to install, maybe it will help others. The issue seems to be a screen resolution issue with the update package.

What I did was:

1. Set font sizes back to "Normal" value (this is the top font size option in Display -> Font sizes).

After that I was able to install 9.1 OTA. Note that to view the changelog afterwards you also need to set to "Normal" font size, any other will also auto close the changelog window.
