Details

This guide will help you take your virgin S10 phone to a fully rooted phone running a custom rom.

It is highly recommended that you use an external SD card for this process as the steps has you formatting the internal data a couple of times, so having this on an external SD will keep this all intact.

Also note that MTP to your phone via a PC can get varied results, hence why again using an SD card is recommended as with an adaptor you can plug this straight into your PC and into phone when needed.

You must understand - that you always have to handle the Booting Process manually with the key combinations of Buttons after flashing - else you will have reboots and fails(no twrp etc)!

Notes/Tips/Tricks

• Every time you reboot you will need to use the key combo or..

>>> Do this right after the flashing Process - when you it restarts - or better restart manually <<

◦ Hold Power + Bixby + Volume Up to TWRP logo to enter recovery

◦ Hold Power + Bixby + Volume Up until you see the Samsung warning screen for the 2nd time to boot into rooted rom.

When you get Stuck or something doesn't go well - don't worry - you can always flash a patched TWRP by itself!

• Go to Download Mode

• Use a patched TWRP and put it as recovery.img inside a recovery.tar (you create the archive (pack the .img as a .tar instead of .zip) using 7zip or similar)

• After you flashed it successfully and the screen turns dark (your restart)

- you instantly hold VOLup + Bixby + Power Button ( over the first 2 Screens)

- and let go, but hold VOLup down with your finger UNTIL TWRP comes up! - you are safe now! (almost) :silly: :victory:

>>> DO NOT JUST REBOOT AFTER FLASHING - ALWAYS GO BACK & BOOT INTO RECOVERY - SO YOU WILL HAVE ROOT - OTHERWISE NOT! <<

• Edxposed works for Pie and supports some functionality for Samsung phones like:

◦ Removing high volume warning

◦ Removing high brightness warning

◦ Advance power menu (Reboot to recovery, download etc..)

◦ Details can be found here

Here is a Video as well, wich is good to follow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3a8YnWT3yk

But after you did this all in the Video - you need to flash patched TWRP!

I recommend to do it right after the patched AP File - let it stay in downloadload-mode, plug the usb-cable out and back in and flash the recovery.tar!

And you will have TWRP and now you can flash ROMS & BACKUP etc !

TWRP has also has File Manager - you can move/copy folders & files from internal to external etc ;)

ok, well I added everything in orange what else was needed to be said! Wich I had to find out the hard way... and wich saves lots of Time!!

I still not slept for over 42 and wrote all this the last 2 hours, because I was so excited and wanted to give back! (and the Backup goes from internal to external at the same time ;)

I will may add more to this Thread here... I have many tipps & tricks... wich is not so easy to find out first ;)

I wish you all the best with your Rooted Samsung S10 S10+ etc

God bless you & sleep well ;)

Best regards :victory:
