i would like to share my experience.

i read everything in this thread and i couldnt connect the dots, no way. as if i was reading something written in latin.

so i fired up youtube video, had some brownies, and within 20 minutes i had no clue what i was doing. i caught myself watching intensely how to fry an egg in a truck tire.... so i concluded that brownies were fantastic. next i proceded to root my phone.

again, it took couple of hours of watching the video because, this time, brownies were kicking me in the butt.

just when i concluded that i messed up everything, was about to delete all downloaded files, created folders, shortcuts and the rest, even managed to soft brick the phone which in turn refused to boot up, and kept flashing samsung logo at me upon every reboot, i draged whatever i felt looks good enough in to odin and pressed start. panic hit me like a ton of bricks, sweat poured like a river. next thing you know, its not in bootloop anymore.

phone works like a charm. chrome and google app dont work so i removed them by using debloater. installed different web browser, and all is good.

android 10. UI2.0 - security patch level 01.04.2020.

im sorry i cant be of more help, thruth to be told if i had to replicate what i did i wouldnt have a clue (brownies!!).

honestly, ive no idea why. but if you follow that youtube video closely, youll have no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
I have to ask. Why do you want to root? Do you just want stock rooted?

This guide is kind of outdated, this was more useful back when we didn't have TWRP.

But we have TWRP now, and all it takes is flashing TWRP via Odin and then flashing the Magisk zip via TWRP.

My recommendation? Use my NcX A71 ROM. You'll get stock, rooted, unencrypted and with additional features you won't get on stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] brunkonjaa:
excuse my ignorance.

where is a link for twrp recovery? i cant find it. please.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
Well, since I didn't compile it I can't upload it to XDA as a stand alone thread.

I asked permission to include it in my ROM, so I guess right now the only way you can get it from XDA is downloading my v2.5 ROM and extracting the recovery from there: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a71/development/rom-ncx-2-5-a71-t4174135

Or

You can join the Telegram group and get it directly from there. Because of XDA rules I can't post you the Telegram group link here, but you can head over to my ROM thread and follow the link there.

Man, this was like reading a good thriller book. Thanks for that.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
This is going to change my approach completely! Thank you very much for pointing this out.

I was under the impression that there wasn't TWRP yet for A71 (and looked at their website).

Your ROM looks exactly like what I need!

So then with my stock encrypted (virgin) A71 I can follow the prereqs and instructions for installing 2.5 (and then 2.5.1), and that's all?

After unlocking bootloader properly, I can directly flash AP_NcX 2.5 A71 in AP on Odin (and then do the rest)?

If this understanding is correct, you are so right that it makes life so much simpler.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
TWRP is relatively new so to speak. It was passed around in the A71 Telegram groups until we reached a workable build.

I don't know if the original builder (who is unofficial builder if I understand correctly) will ever upload it to XDA under his own thread. I asked him permission to include it in the TAR for my ROM so that it can make life much easier for the end user to install.

And to your other questions, I just found out that if you are in OneUI 2.0 (bootloader U2) then you will have some problems with the camera.

Before attempting to install NcX 2.5 (and 2.5.1), then update your phone to bootloader U3 (One UI 2.1 or 2.5) and then proceed to installing NcX 2.5 and 2.5.1 afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
OK got it. I will try and give feedback.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
So I finally got the phone and actually turns out I am still on U1. The phone says I'm up to date, so will not give me OTA. Should I unlock bootloader and use odin to flash stock firmware containing the U3? or just flash the BL file from the firmware? I am on BTU right now.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
You don't need to unlock the BL to flash U3 through Odin.

I would suggest doing a full Odin flash. AP, BL, CP and CSC to avoid problems.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
I suggest all questions concerning from this new method/debloated OneUi should be discussed in that original main thread

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a71/development/rom-ncx-2-5-a71-t4174135/post83665427

It seems this is one method to root and use his version, though it is slight different than the first original post of this thread you are reading in now.

To avoid things become more and more unclear and have the discussion, methods, tips and tricks spread over in two threads, to me I think it is better to have it all in the thread where it should be discussed, in this case if you want to follow shadisnx255 's method, you read and post it there.

If following g the O.P. of this thread, you post it in here ( the thread you are reading in now)

The big difference between both methods is, in this thread you use the original OneUi, in the method of the link ( above shadisnx255) it is his debloated version.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
This is bad...and very similar to what happened last time. (even though the process is different)

I flashed the U3 stock rom, and unlocked bootloader successfully,

Then I was following the 2.5 instructions to flash the AP_NcX 2.5 A71.tar file.

and it failed in Odin, and my phone is stuck on the downloading screen with a partial download bar.

Last time with the last phone, I held power down and vol to turn off and leave download mode, and that was the last time the screen ever turned on again.

I am very concerned about this, as you can imagine. So I haven't touched it. Here is what Odin and the phone look like now. (attached)

What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
Happy to move this, after this crisis has been averted.

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

Maybe it's not as bad because I was only flashing AP this time, but I am freaked out and will not touch it until someone much wiser is kind enough to suggest what to do.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
Well, it doesn't seem like there's been any permanent damage tbh, I can't say for sure why it failed. My only guess is that vaultkeeper is still keeping custom images from being flashed.

If U3 stock was flashed successfully then we can cross out that it could have been a PC problem.

I would personally force the phone off (VOL - and POWER BUTTON) and then immediately after the screen turns off, press both the volume buttons to force download mode and flash stock again.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
Ok thank you! That worked, and I was able to reboot to download mode. I will flash stock, try to make sure bootloader is unlocked and try again.

One thing I noticed, If you see the screenshot in my post above, if the bootloader was truly unlocked, wouldn't it say something like warranty void: 0x1 instead of 0x0?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
Unlocking the bootloader in itself doesn't void warranty.

Make sure you understand and do the following steps in the following order:

->Enable OEM Unlocking in developer settings

->Reboot phone to download mode

->Go to bootloader unlock menu (in download mode, it should tell you how to do that)

->The phone will reboot and wipe data

->Skip setup and then go to developer settings again and make sure OEM unlock is still on (yes, this is important)

->After that, you will be able to flash any custom firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
It just failed immediately when flashing stock.... My phone screen looks same as above screenshot (stuck downloading with partial progress bar).

Attached is the Odin screenshot.

I am sorry for all this trouble, but I appreciate the help.

This time I was flashing everything including BL, so risk of brick must be higher.

Should I do the same thing, Vol - and Power then both vol buttons to restart to download mode again? (After I did this on the first phone, it never turned on again).

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
I did those steps exactly in that order, and the OEM unlock became selected and greyed out as I understand it should.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
I understand your concern, don't worry I'll try to help you as much as possible.

Yes, I would try it again. And when flashing with Odin, try to run it as administrator from Windows, can make the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
Thank you very much!

Rebooting into download mode worked again, so I will try once more to reflash stock with Odin running as admin....Flashing now, looks like it is going through.

If it works I will try everything once more right away

Will update.

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

It worked! I am at NcX2.5 now and going to do 2.5.1 tomorrow morning. It's the middle of the night here.

Thank you so much for your help.

I am not entirely sure, but I would say that maybe it was the Odin in admin mode suggestion that did it.

This means I don't need to waste another 400+ dollars on another phone.

Thanks again very much.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
Glad to know it worked! It can be very stressful to do this and watch it not go according to plan, especially when your device already bricked before.

To be honest with you, I highly doubt this was your problem last time. The error you showed on your screenshots suggest that Odin didn't flash a thing, because it wasn't able to "open" anything in the .tar file you were trying to flash.

I usually don't open Odin as admin mode, so it surprised me when you showed me that error. I legit do think you may have gotten a defective unit. Either that or somehow Magisk corrupted your files and damaged your phone, but I don't know the odds of that happening.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
I think flashing with Odin in admin mode, as well as disconnect from internet and turn off any antivirusscanner while flashing will solve future problems for him...

Just bought an unlocked galaxy s10 a few days ago and plan on returning it tomorrow since it cannot be rooted due to it being the Snapdragon. I plan on getting this phone instead. I assume this method will work on the A71 unlocked 5G model. I absolutely cannot deal with not having root along with Adaway and Viper4Android. My old rooted s4 with Viper4Android absolutely KILLS the s10 in the audio department. If Samsung had any brains at all, they would get with the developers of that outstanding Viper4Android app and hit a licensing deal.

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
From what I understand, all Samsung phones are bootloader locked in the U.S. no matter what.

If you want a Samsung rooted phone, you're going to have to get one imported.

I hope this confirms that Samsung has no brains at all :)
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] djcmn:
Thank You.

Thanks! I am currently looking at a Motorola - moto edge 5G 256GB (Unlocked) as a replacement for the S10. From what I have read, this seems more promising.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] DonAndress:
Say what? Snapdragon makes it impossible to unlock bootloader?

Does that mean that bootloader is impossible to unlock?

I once had an idea to buy a phone in US [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
Yeah, phones sold in the US are impossible to unlock bootloader for free, I think there is a service now that does it but it costs money and I'm not sure how much. You're better off doing some research if you want to buy a US phone.

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lil_Boudy:
I don't understand this part! Someone help

To boot in recovery or boot the system with Magisk installed:

1. Powering up normally → System without Magisk

2. Power + Volume Up → Bootloader warning → Release all buttons → System with Magisk

3. Power + Volume Up → Bootloader warning → Keep holding volume up → Actual recovery

Another question: I have already unlocked the bootloader, does it clear my data when doing the root steps?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] yunseok000_:
To anyone having bootloops:

MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS TURNED OFF!

- Hold [VOL+] + [POWER] FOR STOCK RECOVERY
WHEN IN STOCK RECOVERY:
1) MOUNT SYSTEM THEN REBOOT SYSTEM AND HOLD [VOL+] + [POWER]
2) BOOTLOADER WARNING: PRESS [POWER] THEN SAMSUNG LOGO
3) HOLD [VOL+] UNTIL RECOVERY
4) RECOVERY MODE: REBOOT SYSTEM
5) BOOTLOADER WARNING: PRESS [POWER]
6) SAMSUNG LOGO (THE DEVICE WILL BOOTLOOP)
7) WAIT
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
Again a piece of info nobody know what to do with it.

If you post in this thread, at least give info when such assumed bootloop occurs, what you did before causing it, and finish the "code" as you call it here, wich is in fact just a piece of info you just simply copied from somewhere maybe not even trustworthy place on internet, and pasted here.

Name your sources if you copy.

In my opinion the posting is useless, threadfilling garbage "code " wich is not code at all.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] yunseok000_:
DUDE, I followed this tutorial like months ago, everything worked fine then yesterday I had to restart my phone and then I got into a bootloop, dude. Then I looked at this thread and I remember this dude posting some kind of fix for another dude. So I followed it and the bootloop is gone. I need to thank this dude. Dude. Also, I just used the "code" tag just so I can reformat it because most of dudes in this thread don't know how to write text and guides properly. Using the code tag doesn't mean I'm writing code, dude.

Also, the post in question:
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
You just "dude" too much, keep that blabla away from XDA, it is offending inpolite.

Now I remember that in my first bootloop just after rooting the phone, I've gone to recovery and mounted system, and the phone booted fine and without pressing any key to load magisk... too bad I didn't remember this with a sudden bootoop I had a week ago, after update AdAway and reboot the phone, maybe It would have saved me to reinstall all over again...

Sorry for jumping in as I got little bit confuse having seen this in an arguments.................

Is it NOW the Samsung A71 able to be ROOTED without an issue anymore ?

( of course , following to the proper steps in this forum )

I just ant to see if argument is due to other members here accidentally brick their device during root process when INFACT root is applicable still on A71 ? ( As I just bought mine one new )

So frighten if this is not settle on rooting that A71 not able to be ROOTED as I do not want my phone brick.

( I root my Xiaomi myself without issue so I have a little knowledge on rooting )

Thank you very much.

edmond.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] viktor92:
I followed this instructions and had not a single problem:

* Reboot to download mode and add AP_NcX 2.5 A71 in AP on Odin

* Uncheck the Auto reboot option in Odin

* Flash

* When it is finished, force a manual reboot (keep pressing VOL - and Power buttons together)

* Immediately when phone reboots, boot to recovery mode (VOL + and Power button)

* If your phone was unencrypted before, just do a normal wipe. If your phone was not unencrypted before, do a full data format (Go to WIPE option in TWRP, select FORMAT DATA button at the bottom and they type yes on the keyboard. This will completely wipe your internal storage so be sure to backup and photos, music, etc... you have in internal media.)

* Flash multidisabler to ensure you do not get encrypted

* Flash magisk (I don't know if this is mandatory, I would fully recommend it though)

* Reboot and wait patiently

I could have flashed stock rom, and the procedure would be the same.

After all this, I've flashed NcX 2.5.2 from TWRP, and again, not a single problem.

i am a little confused, anyone can point me to the right direction for CSC?

EDIT: After using it for a few days, id decided to just buy another phone and keep it unrooted.......tripping knox is way too ****ing annoying at this point, bank apps to be specific......

i never really had to open a new bank account until now and somehow they all require me to use their mobile app, and guess what, knox ****ed it all up lol.....this is not cool, i tried everything in my power and it just cant hide the root from them.

I even tried xposed still not working......damn it man

Will try this, as still on feb 2020 version official software which i rooted.

So if i update to latest firmware and follow guide, it will root again no issues.

Also i am on U2 so know if i install U3, i cant downgrade which is not a problem.

Will i lose TWRP, not bothered about internal stuff as i save manually anyway.

Thank you

Can confirm this worked perfectly.

On latest Nov 2020 firmware, still rooted and did not lose anything.

Has anyone done this with a recent A71 5G in the US? I have an A71 5G bought from AT&T and I've been trying to unlock to be able to root to use an app for charging/power off features. I've installed the USB drivers, and tested with many other USB drivers in other online A71 5G rooting guides and nothing works. In device manager it just shows "Android device" with an exclamation mark icon. The device is booted into the bootloader, and Windows itself detects the device, but fastboot/adb detects no device.

This would be easier if Samsung didn't remove the "OEM Unlock" option in developer settings I assume, and there's no way to get the option to show.
