I tried root my SM-A705FN with Android 10,but method from first post not work for me.

I installed Magisk manager,then patched AP file.

Flashed patched AP file via Odin.

Flashed successfully.

Then I tried boot my phone,but won't boot with magisk and normal too.

What i must to do?

I'm not wiped data.

There is another method to root Android 10?

I am on SM-A705MN. i patched AP and then loaded Odin with stock BL, CP and CSC_HOME and the patched AP.

Did a reset in recovery and the storage shows 128 gigs. Android 10.

Patiently waiting for TWRP! I appreciate the work.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
when you flash AP , flash all others partitions, BL, CP, CSC and USERDATA so the device wont need to resize internal storage partition and it will stay at 128GB.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] dj69holland:
So to confirm, when flashing the patched AP, i should try flash the other files too. and will it matter if its CSC or HOME_CSC

ok i will test this today, and report back

Update: I tested it, and it works! :good:

however in my first testcase i tried with HOME_CSC + other files- not to loose my current setup - root is working, with proper internal storage!

i did a backup, and then tried with CSC + other files - had to start over but root is working, with proper storage!

Won't we get this update as a regular update through our phones someday?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Clasimodo:
That's good news. But does this mean we can even update while not losing your data? That would be even better.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
it depend from which country you live in and if your service provider decide to release it for your country or not (it happen)

so the fastest way is by flashing the latest firmware using Odin :p
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Prolly a silly question though, is it a customised version of android 9?

ie: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy A70/firmware/SM-A705YN/TEL/

Would it have KNOX intact another words, The working version of Knox with this flash or IDK

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I guess what I'm saying is by flashing this OFFICIAL will it trip Knox. Also another question is if I flash official Android 9 what's knox be restored secure folder excetra...

Edit. Reading..
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
knox cant be tripped if you flash official firmware , also the A705YN isn't customised, you cant fix your knox counter once triggered.

so am i supposed to put the 4 gig ap file on my phone to patch? only 1 with ap in the name is the big file

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

i selected patch and says done but then still say not installed? do i need to unlock bootloader and THEN install manager? or can i run manager to patch file with phones loader still locked? i know to flash teh file in download mode i need to unlock my loader but wondering about the patch part?

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

also once i have unlocked bootloader to go to custom rom say lineage 17 after phone is on stock rooted rom with unlocked loader can i just put 17 on storage with the gapps and flash it in recovery or does 17 have to be patched?

If i flash home_csc will have to start installing all the apps from the start? Or will be ok? :crying:

Well I had the same problem with 32gb storage . It come back fine to 128 with factory reset. But lost root (android 10) so what if I re flash the magisk patched.tar with Odin. Will be show again that it has 32 GB internal storage? Should I re-

patch the AP file via magisk? Or I can use the old one? And if I flash the patch of magisk file new or old, will I loose my data? (Flashing home_csc or all together except CSC didn't solved my 32gb internal so I did factory reset and come back to 128gb, sorry for making you dizzy with so many questions). :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Antowski:
Magisk Flash

When i flash magisk patched tar,i have to pick only AP,or every file like for flashing stock firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ap. However, I flash everything but cache

I guess with stock, you would need to flash everything.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
if you want root with 128GB you need to select all slots in odin or you are going to be stuck with 32GB.

Yes factory reset will happen if you flash CSC slot instead of HOME_CSC , just backup your important files before doing it , it take less than 20 mins to setup everything :)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] kiko3284pt:
i've tried everything but it still resizes the storage to 32 gb
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
then you didn't tried everything, are you on android 9 or android 10 ,you use twrp or not?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elbuhin:
Hi!

My device is A705MN and I had androrid 9 stock + Twrp + root. I uninstalled magisk and then I tried to update the system (without root at first) using home_csc but when rebooting I was doing bootloop and then the recovery gave me the message corrupt data and I had to do factory reset.

Then starts normal.

Install magisk apk, patch AP, shutdown, boot in download mode and flash patched AP (only that file)

When rebooting I had to configure everything again but everything seemed to be OK, at the end of the configuration I realized that I had 32 GB of storage (curious, when connecting the phone to the PC to transfer data to the internal memory the complete storage appeared on Windows)

Try flashing the entire firmware with the patched AP and HOME_CSC so as not to lose the configuration and regain full storage but it didn't work.

Then try to just flash HOME_CSC and it doesn't work either.

Finally I was able to recover the entire storage by rebooting into stock recovery and doing factory reset. I have not flashed any files this time.

I had to configure everything again, but at least now I have root and full storage.

Curiosity: while it was with the space of 32 gb, it did not matter if you turned on the phone with or without the key combination. Magisk was always installed.

Then, after recovering full capacity, it was necessary to make the key combination to have root. Otherwise in Manager it comes out as "not installed".

Greetings.

how to decrypt internal storage?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elbuhin:
Hi!

I have a little question:

I have android 10 stock in an A70MN and I still have the installation and rooting that I did with Magisk and that I commented a few post back.

I recently noticed an update is available.

If I wanted to install it without losing data and of course maintaining root access, is it enough to download the full rom, patch the AP with magisk and flash everything with odin using HOME_CSC?

Or when it comes to an update is it imperative to format?

Thank you!

I'm running Android 10, if i don't unlock bootloader, will it have any effect after rooting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Awkydee:
You can't install a custom recovery if you don't unlock your phone, from what I understand, I personally find it easier to have TWRP. I installed magisk normally from TWRP and I don't have to use any phone key combinations to insure that magisk is working when I reboot my phone. It just works and I can flash things and back up my important stuff.

Hi, thanks for all this but according to Samsung phone info l have this:

Product code: SM-A705FZKUTKD

Firmware's CSC code: MID

Active CSC code: TKD

So which region code should I use to search for the update? TKD or MID?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
Whats your region
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] camalger:
Actually the phone isn't officially available in my country, there's some Arabic writing on the box so I guess it's a middle eastern variant but I don't know which country, in samfrew when I enter TKD code there's no country name and the last firmware is may update which is already installed on my phone, when I enter MID code I have Iraq as a region and there is actually the July update which I'm looking for
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
ok ok but whats your region, your country
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] camalger:
That's what I'm saying, I'm from Algeria and there's no Algerian CSC code for the A70 so no official firmware for my country for sure

you can flash a tunisia or morocco firmware, but i recommend you this one https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a70/firmware/SM-A705FN/MID/download/A705FNXXU3ASG6/283359/
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] camalger:
OK but Last time you suggested me a KSA firmware, is there any difference between the two? Also sammobile says "free download is currently unavailable" can I download it from samfrew instead?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
the thing is that you can even flash any firmware , the difference would be that if your use Radio FM app for hearing radio u will probably hear the radio from the firmware country you downloaded , or maybe u wont be able to use the radio app , a multi CSC would be the best
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] camalger:
And i guess the firmware you recommend is a multi CSC right? (OJM according to samfrew)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
