any1 tryed to root using this method with latest SM-A505FN update? (July security patch, sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505FN/PHN/download/A505FNXXU2ASH1/284665) getting odin stuck to recovery.img

edit: tryed 2 times to flash the magisk_patched.tar, can't seem to pass recovery.img in odin. Seem to be broken with the latest update:(

Did you first update your phone with the unrooted A505FNXXU2ASH1 before creating the magisk_patched tar? Otherwise there might be a mismatch ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] gB6sF0z:
This is from the John Wu guide: "If you want to upgrade your device, never flash the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always pre-patch the firmware before flashing in ODIN."

So yes, I have patched my AP with my rooted system :/ I will try latter to patch it with unrooted system
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] michiel.686:
John means never flash stock (unrooted) AP on an already rooted system.

I meant: flash A505FNXXU2ASH1 unrooted first, factory reset your phone and follow John's procedure from the beginning. Flashing rooted A505FNXXU2ASH1 on A505FNXXU2ASG3 (or earlier/other version) might be the problem.... Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] gB6sF0z:

Thanks mate, Can confirm it works on the Australian model SM-A505YN. There is one step missing from the guide, The part where you have to hold Volume up and power, Then let go of both quickly to boot into rooted mode.

I still can't get past the flashing process of the Magisk AP file on my A505W even with OEM unlock on and activated properly in download mode. It fails in the home stretch then I have to flash back to stock again and again. Anybody figure any other ways around this?

The message I get is something like "Flashing custom binary was blocked by OEM lock" or words to that effect :(

So I have searched the thread And I just want to make sure I'm understanding it correctly. In regards to updates, i would have to download the firmware file and patch it, then flash it using Odin correct? I would have to erase all data right? Or is it like a dirty flash sorta situation? Thanks!

As always, thank you for the tutorial. Worked very great. I finaly updated to the august security update (was stuckon may in Canada). Now that have been done, anybody as a fix for the random reboot issue? I do have this probleme since I put magisk on my phone, even with the may security patch, but I didn't put any effort to this since I was only getting random reboot only on the first day after a manual reboot. It seem, after some reboots, it magically got stable and won't rebbot randomly till I dont reboot it my self. When it does it, the most time it does it while I put it or take it from sleep mode. I've read multiple fix on the thread, non of them worked. Factory reset didn't do the trick since I had to for updating. I tried this fix in the build.prop, didn't do it. I tried deactivating magysk hide, didn't do it. Anybody have something?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] zidane02:
Hi, do you always factory reset when updating? I always use HOME_CSC when updating, I don't like starting from scratch.. Since June security patch til August, I did not factory reset. Just so you know..

The random reboot, I haven't figured the pattern to stop the random reboots, but yeah you're right, it will disappear after some random reboot. But I think I found a temporary solution, I have restarted the phone 3x already to apply 1000+ font, adaway, etc.. And I don't have this random reboot (yet). Always reboot the normal way, just hold the vol up + power button after tapping the restart button, let them go when the warning disappears.

If you sre still facing the random reboot.. Follow this little trick.

1. Turn off the phone normally

2. Turn it on again wothout key combination.

-When the phone boots up, unlock and wait for the (phone is starting) to disappear

3. Restart the phone normally, immediately hold the volume up + power button until the warning disappears.

Observe if it will reboot again, if it does, repeat steps 1 to 3, but this time do step 3 2times.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] AliasGprime:
Will do, thanks for the tips. As for the factory reset, well yeah a did a full factory reset for the update. Actually, here in Canada we haven't got an update since May, so that actually the second time I did a factory reset since a got the phone (first one for the bootloader unlock). Not a big deal since almost everything (save game, data,...) is saved on my SD Card or in the cloud.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] AliasGprime:
I had a "seem to be" working solution to this till yesterday. It seem as I was fully booting my phone unrooted, without the key combinaison, and fully reboot it after with the key combinaison, was giving me some good result to stop the phone to reboot by itself. But now that I installed the last magisk version, it seem there is no need for key combinaison anymore. My phone is rooted automatically at any reboot. I wasn't able to boot unrooted.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ilya_MZP:
Magisk random reboots fix

I have the same issue as some of the people do on my SM-A505FN.

But I found a solution.

After you install Magisk, you should edit your system's init.rc file.

You can find it at /system_root/init.rc

To edit it you must remount system_root as read-write.

Find these lines and remove/comment them out with #.

on property:persist.security.ccmextra=1
setprop persist.security.ccmextra 0
write /proc/sysrq-trigger "c"

As you can see, when persist.security.ccmextra property gets triggered, it sends a system request. C - literally crashes your kernel in order to take a crashdump.

You can use adb shell and Nano magisk module to edit that file.

$ adb shell
a50:/ $ su
a50:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system_root
a50:/ # nano /system_root/init.rc

I've been using my phone for 24h now without any reboots. Before I had reboots every 10-90 minutes.

EDIT: It didn't help to completely get rid off the issue. After few more hours of testing it rebooted.

Wonderful!!

Sorry I hadn't thanked you yet!

Thanks to your post and the videos that you link I managed to root SM-A50 FN just on 10-30-2019 !!

While I was rooting the phone you updated it! and once updated, at first! (I had two failed attempts; on the other hand I think it was logical, because I did not understand the second factory reset and until the second reset everything went correctly but there it failed me!)

So, thank you and a big hug!

do you mean flash the same file multiple times or from the firmeware original zip :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] redymedan:
I am talking about Magisk v20.0, when replied your comment Magisk v20.1 released, it means if you patch AP file right now, you will get Magisk v20.1 . We don't talking about stock rom / original firmware. You can use your old patched file that are installed Magisk v19.3 but before that you must flash fresh stock ROM and then you can flash the old patched file.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] demunted:
In my experience, no. I tried all of that including switching to numerous Magisk versions etc. At one time i was under the belief that it was wifi security related and would purge the misc/wifi configs but that was a red herring. I had thought that once wifi tried to connect it would reboot.

I've even done numerous logcats with and without root and i can't see anything useful regarding the reboot, nothing is logged near the reboot time that would explain the restart. This usually means the kernel panic is so significant that the part that logs errors and events isn't able to output info before the device restarts. Knox could do this i suppose, but i'm no kernel hacker.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] ctzulu:
i tried the same .. multiple ways none of them work now i have bootloader unlocked but no root

now im thinking 1 thing i forgot to try .. in the tutorial with magisk manager to flash the firmware and then copy to PC and flash with odin ... it didnt work but 1 guy said its better to move the file with adb

and second try in magic manager was options before flashing ... who knows what they good for

i just need it for a titanium backup .. i need a 1click solution now haha

Hi

I have flashed my A505FN with magisk 20.1 (firmw asj1). Working very well with no reboot. Big thank"s !!!

But something strange : each time restarting with magisk enabled all my assiociated devices become unpaired (watch, car....) i have to pair them again manually each time. Doesn't occur on reboot with magisk disabled.

An idea ?

Firmware for Dutch phone

Hello everyone!

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy A50 and I want to root it using this guide.

The first step is to download the firmware for the Galaxy A50.

I was wondering what firmware version I exactly need to use? There are so many out there.

I found a few different Dutch firmwares, but still don't know which one to use.

According to the website whre I bought it from, the model I bought is the:

SM-A505FZKSPHN

(I'm from The Netherlands, so it should be a Dutch model)

I would share a link to the website where I bought the phone, but it won't let me because I am a new user.

On the official Dutch Samsung website, it says it's a: "Galaxy A50 SM-A505FN/DS"

Does anyone know where I can find the correct firmware for me or know what firmware I need to use?

Thank you very much in advance!

Yours,

Pikalex

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] demunted:
As far as i have experienced, you can root and run magisk. However after one or two reboots (if you are lucky) it stops working and spontaneously restarts your phone either as soon as the phone starts up or within a few minutes of using the phone. If you boot unrooted (i.e. dont start with vol + held) and it boots without Magisk then it starts fine (unrooted).

I would love to be wrong, but i spent days trying different versions of magisk and patching numerous ways. If someone can advise that they have stable root and can share their phone model + Magisk Version that would be helpful for a lot of us suffering from spontaneous reboots.
