You need to hold Bixby and volume up when you power on for a couple sec. Not long enough to boot to recovery. If you read other magisk guides on this device you will set mention of it to

Uk phone using German PDA?

Can you guys let me know the best way to continue the root process. I'm on the early stage of grabbing offcial firmware and I have run into a weird issue with my PDA and Model number. I purchased my phone from Carphone warehouse in the UK on an O2 sim so as far as I know this should be unlocked. When I check my model number and PDA they don't match up with what I would expect to see.

My model is - SM-G975F

PDA is - G975FXXU7CTF1

Any help or advice on what I should do here would be appreciated.

is there a way to always boot rooted rom without the button combo?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReazonNL:
Root Only

Hi all,

Is it possible to just follow the steps up until the point that my phone is just Rooted, without flashing any ROM?

As in, I just want a rooted phone and keep the stock firmware that's already on the S10, without flashing a custom ROM.

I rooted quite some phones over the years, but this S10 is on another level, so I just want to make sure that I can keep all features and functions my phone currently has to offer, but including Root & Magisk.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] heihachi34:
Yes you can root without custom Rom and keep stock firmware running.

Yes, you can root the phone with official firmware and without having a custom Rom.:cowboy:

--Summarized steps-- (detailed steps already given in main Post)

1) download official firmware for your model using samloader or frija.

2) patch TWRP with Magisk and add it to the AP file in your firmware.

3) go-to download mode and flash the BL, Modified AP, CSC & Home CSC.

4) reboot holding bixby+volup+power into TWRP.

5) in TWRP. Go to Wipe , format data, yes

-Then factory data reset

-Then advance wipe, check system, data, cache & dalvic cache. ( DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE ).

6) Install Multidisabler 2.6 zip

Reboot to recovery from TWRP.

That's all. Now you have rooted stock firmware.

Enjoy!:laugh:

Hi guys.My questions to you:

1)Where can I find the multidisabler for S10+?

2)Is the latest patched TWRP present on the Forum?

TNX in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MetropolisPt1:
My rooted S10+ shows strange behaviour:

1. It does recognize unlock pattern but does not unlock upon -> solve: boot into twrp and delete the three files containing "locksetting" in data/system . You will then not be asked for the pattern and can access phone.

2. Camera stopped working: it says "warning: camera failed". Tried resetting app, resetting settings, wipe cache with no success. Other camera apps do not work. I still do not believe in hardware failure because no camera app allows switching between front/back camera. However, service menu is not able to access any camera.

3. Some apps started crashing constantly (Signal, Brave browser). Needed to reinstall these.

Of course, I haven't made firmware updates. However, there appears to be a kernel update to 4.14.113. But this took place on Nov 30 and my problems started only 3 days ago.

Do you have any clue what might be the reason? If I need to factory reset, I am tempted to go for lineage 18 as this procedure involves restoring everything.

EDIT:

This behaviour has something to do with magisk: Booting into system w/o Magisk offers complete camera functionality. Once booted into magisk, it does not work at all (see point 2 above)

EDIT2:

SOLVE: I forgot, I updated TWRP and in my case the TWRP Kernel and system didn't match. I did a

restore of my initial backup in TWRP

flash latest firmware and booted

patched AP file in magisk and flashed this via Odin (follow the stets when installing Magisk)

patched TWRP (used the IanMcd version) and flashed (follow the guide on how to flash TWRP)

Once the system booted I I restored all apps from my TB backup.

Thanks!

Hi ||||| !

Thanks a lot for sharing this, adding recovery.img in the patched image simplifies flashing steps, great tips !

I followed this guide thouroughly (as well as some other guides on XDA and TCD) and yet could never successfully pass the above step.

I had to reboot to "System" since rebooting to "Recovery" would get the device stuck at boot warning each time.

Also I could root with Magisk on the Stock ROM but not on EvolutionX...

Finally, after digging into XDA, I found out the taltest images from Lineage and EvolutionX could perform a reboot to System, no need for the keys combo hassle.

All I had to do was to flash a boot image with Magisk support :)

Thanks to this post and yours, I finally nailed it !

Note that I've been flashing TWRP and custom ROMS on a dozens of devices in the past ten years and yet this "verified boot" stuff has keept me awake lately.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] phaze3131:
the main post lists absolutely zero instructions, he just blabs on about how he tried "stuff" and then it worked!

here is his solution and what you call "detailed instructions in the main post"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

• Found the Samsung S10 Rooting Dynamics & how to avoid the stumbling blocks

• Read the Proper Tutorial & watch a Video on how to do it.

• Combine everything and try it out first in an secure enviroment and then go for the real deal!

• Make sure it works!

• Set your Focus, Heart & Intentions properly! This is the main weapons in life to become sucessful in any situation - in the long run!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now if anyone can actually post detailed instructions it would be very helpful because all of the tutorials on youtube just get a reboot back into stock recovery when using the 3 button combo to boot into rooted stock environment
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] phaze3131:
ok so reporting back, I am finally rooted.

I wish I had the ability to change the original post to include this information but I do not have that ability.

Different versions of magisk patch files with different options when patching the AP file. In older versions it does not give you any options, but in newer versions there is an option that you MUST TICK and that is "RECOVERY" you need to make sure this checked off when you patch the AP file.

I still am not clear how to install twrp, I know it has to do with patching and then multidisabler and also vbmeta but I can't seem to find a step by step guide.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmt0:
When you say ""RECOVERY" you need to make sure this checked off" you really mean "checked" as in "on" right? Cause that's what worked for me.

Multidisabler can be found here: https://xdaforums.com/t/pie-10-11-s...of-stock-recovery-proca-wsm-cass-etc.3919714/

TWRP installation is described in the tutorial, search for "Repeat steps 2-4", you'll find the instruction there. I missed that part too.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmt0:
Now that I've rooted it and used it for a bunch of days and rebooted it multiple times - I suddenly lost root.

Not sure what caused it. I made sure I boot it with three buttons as always, but now Root Checker finds no root.

Tried flashing it again with Odin with HOME_CSC not to loose my data, and installed a multidisabler right after. Rebooted - no root.

Anybody bumped into that?

EDIT: apparently you have to have something (anything) plugged into USB while you're booting it with the three-key-combo. Learned from here:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReazonNL:
Hi Heihachi,

I just recently (yes I know, a year and a half later haha) finished the rooting process, or at least, I think I did.

The issue I'm facing now is that, when I boot into TWRP and I tap on "Recovery", that my phone doesn't boot with root-mode. I -can- boot normally and I installed Magisk manually again after initial-setup. The thing is, when I use the button combo (bixby + vol-up + power) up until the second warning (not the Bootloader message but the Samsung screen with the red text), then I release the buttons and my phone boots up to a black-screen, which it stays stuck at.

Any ideas what I did wrong and how to fix this?

Thanks in Advance!

AP patched with magisk 24.3 without TWRP --> Boot loop, impossible to boot at all

AP patched with magisk 24.3 + TWRP 3.5.2_9.6 + multidisabler 3.2 --> black screen after flashing multidisabler. With usual procedure (pressing recovery buttons at start), OS boot but not rooted. And can't boot into twrp at all.

AP patched with magisk 24.3 + TWRP 3.5.2_9.6 + multidisabler 3.1 --> No black screen but With usual procedure (pressing recovery buttons at start), OS boot but not rooted. And can't boot into twrp at all.

AP patched with magisk 24.3 + TWRP 3.5.2_9.6 + no multidisabler --> Can't boot normal OS (rooted or not), but can boot into TWRP

AP patched with magisk 24.3 + TWRP 3.6.1_9.0 --> Can't boot into TWRP to install multidisabler, and os not rooted

I just ordered a Z3 Play, and would love to do wireless charging (you know, like I had on my Palm Pre 10+ years ago...). Does anyone know what the story is on the wireless charging mod, aka the "moto style shell with wireless charging"? Looks like it has been unavailable from Moto for awhile (although it is still on their website), and very difficult to find elsewhere. Seems like it would be a very useful and popular add-on -- does anyone know if Moto production/sales are permanently halted, if so why, and/or any way of obtaining it or a nearly equivalent peripheral? I'm looking for something thin, affordable like the original, but all of the alternatives I've seen include a battery and are bulky/expensive, which does not interest me.

the only place you will find them is on ebay etc, as they are no longer in production.

Hello.

Recently I encountered a problem, that I couldn't root my op7 after OTA (tried both twrp and magisk methods). Somehow managed to screw up both boot_a and boot_b partitions (probably flashed wrong img files with

fastboot flash boot_a some_boot_img.img
fastboot flash boot_b some_boot_img.img

.) I downloaded official firmware (10.0.2) and extracted boot.img and tried to flash it with

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and in result my phone doesn't have wifi and can't make any phones and calls, but can use mobile data. A solution without wiping any data would be great.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Hello, you flashed wrong firmware/rom? Do you now have the correct firmware/rom? You can simply flash the rom again without wiping data.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] k2ldas:
Reflash

Try reflashing the official OTA with the Local Upgrade feature in the Software upgrade menu.

Download the update.zip file from oneplus web page, under Support-Software Upgrade.

Copy the update.zip to internal memory where all folders are located. Do not copy it inside any folder.

go to Settings>System>System Updates

Tap on Gear icon in top-right corner and Select Local Upgrade

if your file is valid it will show up in the list.

Select it and follow on screen instructions.

Then reinstall TWRP and root with the All in one tool. Remember the OOS Call Recording magisk module must be uninstalled, that also causes no sim error on Android 10.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] :
Make sure you have downloaded full ota zip file (not incremental update zip file)..
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] nojusmo:
Thanks for the suggestion, I already fixed the problem with wiping all of my data, because I was in hurry and I was able to backup most of the data. After fixing my problem I tried to root again. Firstly I flashed stock rom using some tool that I don't remember the name for (it was some sort of chinese rom). Then I flashed Android 9 so I could unlock bootloader and root via twrp. The next thing I did is I installed the update via the update app and didn't reboot, so I could install magisk root (after OTA). I had root, but when I rebooted into android 10 - root was lost, because magisk couldn't install something it needed to.

I didn't have modules installed on magisk, so I don't think that call recording module created the problem.
