I congratulate "diamond" for this tutorial in video, just tested and running with the latest software available for samsung a51, you can use with all tranquility 'and this guide will be' rooted device.

just follow carefully all the steps, ;) [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZD2jkkKX_E[/YOUTUBE]

now missing only how to install the TWRP recovery, does anyone know if there is a valid procedure? or if we can install some other kind of recovery? I would need in some way to make up, in order to perform various other tests, so as not having to redo the entire root procedure, in case something goes wrong! backup method of TWRP and 'what I prefer always! I recommended some alternative if there is still TWRP?

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] ESTIMULO:
I successfully built and flashed AOSP based in the latest samsung rom but i can not flash boot(NoForcedEnforce).tar (the phone seems to be disconected from odin when flashed the first AP file and don't let me flash a second file), anyway after reboot, AOSP is rooted and seems to work fine.

My problem is that I need to install magisk to hide root but after a successfully direct install I got bootloop.

If i try to install boot(NoForcedEnforce).tar after setup AOSP and enable USB debugging I also got bootloop.

Is it possible to install magist onto AOSP?

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] VictoSab:
The method to install Magisk Root did not work for my Galaxy A51 (SM-A515F / DSN) on Android 10 with UI 2.1 (latest version - June 08, 2020: AP_A515FXXU3BTF4 / CP_A515FXXU3BTE7).

After flashing the "magisk_patched.tar" file in ODIN and reboot (with the combination of keys), I have the error that somes other users have : It return to download mode with "vbmeta error", then I have to flash a stock firmware to repair this.

I finally succeeded to install Magisk Root with following this tutorial on Youtube produced by Invisible_diamond : [Video] How to root Samsung galaxy A51 sm-a515f free without any error, without eft dongle.

The operation consists of flashing, not the whole AP file, but only the "boot.img" file of the AP file.

Hope this helps you !

Will Custom ROMs ever likely exist on this phone?

Usually to get roms you need ppl who will not ask questions like that, and instead get up off their butt and figure out how to build so that the community can thrive.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidJP:
I am starting to think that any samsung model that ends with U cannot be rooted at all. I see no progress for the A516U at all.

Well dam, isn't that something else. I am really not liking where android is heading. Don't get me wrong. It's nice that samsung is stepping up their A game when it comes to device security but dam, this may be over the top don't you think?

Does this mean if i ever want root and samsung i would have to replace or get a 2nd device that is non U.S?
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkosnuss:
Totally understand your point but that's not where android is heading.

It's where companies like Sammy, Huawitch or OPPO are heading.

They're making heavily bloated AOSP for some, and/or they permanently lock access to bootloader/delete fastboot's binarys for others.

They want to convince you it's for your security but it isn't. It's just a way for them to keep their users running non-rooted stock OneUI, Color OS etc to make profit on them.

Want a new font ? Go to the galaxy store.

Want to use Security folder ? Connect with a sammy's account.

Wanna unlock bootloader ? Ur knox will be tripped.

Open Source is true security btw.

That's why I'll never buy this kind of devices to be lockdowned again. And if I really want to, I rather get an iPhone :laugh:

Hi, below is the process I have drawn up to root my A51, am I missing anything?

I have un-locked the boot loader. Are these the only two files I need to root the phone?

Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip

Twrp+vbmeta_A11.tar

Or have I got the wrong files and if so could someone be kind enough to point me to the correct link for the correct files.

1. Turn off the phone

2. Pres and hold vol up + vol down, and connect usb cable to laptop

3. Entering download mode

4. Open odin in your laptop, click AP, choose file recovery disabler vb meta.tar, uncheck auto reboot in option.

5. Click start, until get it pass text

6. Disconnect usb cable

7. Press and hold power + vol down, when screen off, press and hold power + vol up, when Samsung logo appeared,

release power, keep hold vol up, entering twrp recovery

8. Wipe >> format data >> yes >> enter

9. Reboot recovery

10. Entering twrp, flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip

11. Wipe >> format data >> reboot recovery

12. Flash Magisk (optional for root) and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip

13. Reboot system

I have a bricked, Galaxy A51, One UI Version is 4.1, Android version is 12, Product Name – SM-A515F.

Prior to bricking, In download mode, OEM LOCK – OFF (U), FRP LOCK – OFF, KG STATE – Checking Current Binary – Samsung Official

Using Odin version Odin3-v3.14.1; I have ran through the installation process of the TWRP recovery procedure and received a pass in Odin that all the TWRP recoveries below I have tried have installed at each time so have in essence Installed.

(Twrp+vbmeta_A11.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.0-a51-20220210-1636.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.1-a51-20220228-2050.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.1-a51-20220321-1406-hotfix.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.2-a51-20220602-0515.tar, twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar)

Post TWRP installation, if I leave the cable plugged into the phone after the pass in Odin. On pressing the correct sequence of power and up/down volume buttons it does not boot into recovery it just shows a recharge sign on the phones screen and stays there, nothing else happens after like fifteen minutes.

If I unplug the cable in the phone from the laptop post TWRP installation and on pressing the correct sequence of power and up/down volume buttons. Like now I am stuck in a boot loop session, have been for twelve hours now. From the Samsung Logo warning that I have unofficial recovery software installed on the phone to a message that the phones boot loader has been unlocked and the world will fall in. Then the phone switches itself off for one second and the boot loop returns.

The phone does switch itself off for one second until then it switches itself back on and continues this frustrating boot loop session, actually as I write the battery has just failed and the phone is now power dead.

When the phone switches itself off for one second, I can press both +/- volume buttons and connect to the laptop to open the phone up in its download mode; it still states in download mode that the phone is OEM LOCK – OFF (U), FRP LOCK – OFF, KG STATE – Checking Current Binary – Samsung Official

The TWRP recoveries I have installed are,

Twrp+vbmeta_A11.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.0-a51-20220210-1636.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.1-a51-20220228-2050.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.1-a51-20220321-1406-hotfix.tar, TWRP-11-3.6.2-a51-20220602-0515.tar, twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar.

They all installed fine with a pass in Odin, but I was unable to open the phone up in recovery by following the correct sequence of power and up/down volume buttons.

Is the phone bricked for good?

If it is will I need to install the official stock ROM. I have no idea which stock Rom to download and install. If this is the case could someone be kind enough to post me a link to where I can down load the correct stock ROM to down load and install via Odin.

Thanks for reading and any help received.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sign1:
Here’s an update,

I have now reverted back to Stock Rom and I find it impossible to boot into Stock Recoveries.

I have owned this phone over eighteen months and have never before tried to boot into recoveries.

I have tried every method available online, power and volume up button, power and volume down button, power and volume up button while ear phones are plugged in the same with a USB cable plugged in.

But I can still boot into download mode though.

So this might be the reason why I could not root and install TWRP as the phone itself will not boot into recovery. What to do, I have no idea.

When in down load mode.

OEM LOCK – OFF (U), FRP LOCK – OFF, KG STATE – PRENORMAL Current Binary – Samsung Official

So now I have reverted back to KG STATE – PRENORMAL, and the phone is showing no OEM unlock in developer options.

But on boot the phone is still warning me that the boot loader has been unlocked.

I downloaded stock ROM, and extracted these files.

AP_A5 BL_A515FXXU5FVE2_CL23686045_QB51779782_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

BL_A515FXXU5FVE2_CL23686045_QB51779782_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

CP_A515FXXU5FVD1_CP21942801_CL23686045_QB50597459_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

CSC_OJM_A515FOJM5FVE1_CL23686045_QB51677768_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

They all installed fine in Odin and I received a pass. The phone booted and is working fine.

But I cannot boot into stock recovery.

My only perquisites I have not tried are I have not yet gone through the sequence to get OEM unlock showing in developer options. I am also not connected to any networks and have no sim card in the phone.

So anyone not able to root and install TWRP, maybe your phone itself will not boot into recovery in stock ROM.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
