From memory, i dragged the boot.img over to the lz4.exe

I am going to try again this morning.

Would it best i do a fresh flash of official firmware first to the phone and start from there.

The current firmware on phone matches the one i downloaded,my phone is unlocked and i downloaded the BTU firmware

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

Right found my mistake, did not rename boot to boot.img.

Now it flashed.

Just trying to get it out of bootloop now, either bootloader screen bootloop or i can get it in recovery.

This is where i am stuck

Update:- i have freshly reflashed official firmware adn will start again from scratch, as something may had corrupted files somewhere thus bootloop, hoping it doesn't happen again, but if it does, what is procedure to get phone to boot into magisk mode?

I am not one for being defeated and will get there
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wingchundub:
Ok, done everything perfectly, and got root finally.

Right, i had to do some additional things for this to work, how it did, i'm bamboozled.

After numerous loops, i went into Download mode, opened ODIN, i put in AP the already magisk_patched.tar

Then from non-patched official firmware files, i put in BL, CP and USERDATA the HOME_CSC.

Leaving CSC empty.

Flashed, went into recovery selected MOUNT, booted and a message came up no OS, so booted back into recovery, wipe data reset.

Shut phone down.

Booting up pressing vol up, til bootloader then pressed power and it booted normally.

I then installed Magisk manager which is not mention anywhere in tut, but on this occasion i am, as,when i started it, both Magisk is upto date and Magisk manager is upto date now show.

Installed adaway my fav ad blocking app to test and root was granted :)

A good thing about this root, is that i don't need to press up and power in order to have magisk, just normal power button press :D

Now another question, has anyone made a screen boot logo to replace the bootloader warning for the A71? as i was able to change it with already made screens someone made for the S10 plus.

But thinking about it, we'd need twrp to install it aswell, which I'm not sure is available yet? Or is it?

Best wishes

Sorry, could you please make a step by step tutorial of just what_to_do and not include irrelevant steps? Also please attach all necessary files you used.

Above makes it hard to follow.

Here you go fella, thou i had to do alot of reading and coming and going, here it is alot simpler

Do as all from first post on Page 1 by BK, til you get to "transfer the patched file to you PC" which is last part of root section of his post.

Now do as member Cyber Axe posted on page 3, i've edited aka added extra info for clearer instruction:-

Ok ladies and gentlemen I finally got it working, and here's what I had to do

You'll need to install 7zip and LZ4 program, that you can search on google, Put the LZ4 folder on desktop, aswell as all other files, will make it easier

(This part is continued from where original poster BK ends:- Once you've patched the AP file in Magisk Manager and copy it back to your pc, Open up that tar file with 7zip and delete all files except recovery.img and vbmeta.img

Then open the original prepatched AP file in 7Zip and extract the boot.img.lz4 then take that file and drag it onto the lz4.exe from the lz4 utilities

you should now have a nice clean uncompressed boot.img, put that back onto the phone and patch it with magisk manager, you should now have magisk_patched.img copy that back to the pc and rename it boot.img and put it in the tar file from earlier so you should have boot.img recovery.img and vbmeta.img

With just these 3 files in the tar you dont have to worry about wiping your data again and it will patch pretty fast

Open up ODIN again and select AP and choose your new tar file and flash it

Then shut down the phone fully and power it on while holding vol up till you get to the warning screen about the unlocked bootloader let go of vol up and press power to continue and you should find that it boots properly now and magisk manager will show that magisk is installed. (It is this part only where it did not work for me, so follow what i posted)

After numerous loops, i went into Download mode, opened ODIN, i put in AP the already magisk_patched.tar

Then from non-patched official firmware files, i put in BL, CP and USERDATA the HOME_CSC.

Leaving CSC empty.

Flashed, went into recovery by keeping the VOL up button pressed after pressing power button after bootloader warning screen, in recovery i selected MOUNT, rebooted and a message came up no OS, so booted back into recovery, then i pressed wipe data reset & Shut phone down.

Booting up pressing aka keeppressed vol up and power buttons, til bootloader screen comes on, then pressed power and it booted normally aka samsung logo will appear shortly.

I then installed Magisk manager which is not mentioned anywhere in tut, but on this occasion i am, as, when i started it aftter installing it, both Magisk is upto date and Magisk manager is upto date now show.

I installed adaway my fav ad blocking app to test for root and root was granted

A good thing about this root, is that You don't need to press up and power in order to have magisk, just normal power button press
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soapy!:
Your solution worked on my A71 (GTO). It's odd, when I tried BK's method my phone only bootloops as soon as I try booting via vol+/pwr. The the only way to fix that was by wiping data which kinda defeats the purpose of following the original process.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
Following this part of r3d1x's post fixed the bootloop for me (this is for after doing the steps in Cyber Axe's post).

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wingchundub:
There seems to be the key words WIPE DATA

As i had to do that also in order to commence, but at least we are able to investigate, test and correct it.

If it helps other A71 owners, perfect.

Im using with the unlocked bootloader and 0x1 but the magisk its not install, and id I try boot into the root ver. Power+Up its Stays in bootloop. Anyone can help me??:confused::crying:

Have you followed my tutorial that i made on i thin it was page 3 of the posts? as that fixes that issue
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] DonAndress:
When you guys say that wipe data is mandatory, does that mean that all settings I've done in the system will be reset?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyber Axe:
I don't say anything about wiping I specifically say in my method on page #3 you don't need to worry about losing any user data if you have any that is most people root immediatly after unlocking their phone and the unlock of the boot loader wipes everything

Summary

make a summary with the method that works please
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] rootadvisor:
it worked for me on A715F/DS (with U2 Firmware) ... (I do this steps )

on the first try i foolowed the OP post and no success and i clear data wipe,

on second try i do the Wingchundub + Cyber Axe steps

Unlocked the boot loader as the OP posted

patch the original AP with magisk copy to pc (magisk_patched.tar)

Strip all magisk_patched.tar except vbmet and recovery (using 7zip)

From the original AP get the boot.lz4 and passed on lz4 util ( boot.img )

pass boot.img to device and patched again on magisk copy this file to pc (magisk_patched.img) and rename to boot.img

with 7zip add it to the striped patched earlier (only stays with boot , vbmeta and recovery )

On ODIN (i used 3.13.1) added the patch on magisk on AP , and add the other Original files BL , CP and HOME (leave CSC EMPTY) untick reboot option

This is the tricky part and im babmbozled too.

Reboot the phone to recovery do mount system and select shutdown (i do not wiped/ clear nothing )

let it reboot and Open the magisk manager and it should be rooted

(IF i used the keys volumeup + power stays in boot loop. have to do revovery step again )

Thanks To Wingchundub and Cyber Axe

Debranding

Does this method also work for just debranding my phone (I have a Vodafone-branded firmware on it)? So for example I download in Frija the non-branded firmware and install then BL, AP and CP via Odin and have a non-branded phone?

Title says it all really is this compatible with firmware 10 and one Ui 2.0 thanks in advance for the reply any help is very much appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] obodzin:
I have the same question. Is there any way to debranding?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Azuurial:
Worked for me ... I installed the normal FW (Non-branded) and Phone works like before. But I didn't rooted it ... I also didn't unlock the Bootloader ... If you want that stuff I can't help
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] obodzin:
Can you describe exactly how you did it?

I don't want to root or unlock the bootloader, I want to install a clean XEO rom.

I did it according to the instructions - it doesn't work.

I also tried with the pit file, but the same - the operator's logo and garbage are still left.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Azuurial:
Just like it is described in the first page ... Downloaded latest firmware (for my country) with Frija, put my phone in Download-Mode and installed everything with Odin ...

Well before I put my Phone in Download-Mode I did an Factory-Reset for unlinking my samsung- and google-accounts and that stuff ... Odin was showing me something like that
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] obodzin:
Is there any difference between frija and samfirm?

I downloaded rom via samfirm.

Later in Odin:

BL

AP

CL

CSC

USERDATA - do I have to choose Home CSC?

Then connect the phone in download mode and click start.

I downloaded the clean rom for sure, and after installation it still changes to branded. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Azuurial:
I don't used samfirm, so I can't say anything about it

Yes, you have to choose Home CSC...

When you want to stay with your Data don't flash CSC, only Home_CSC... And the other stuff (BL,AP,CL)

So when you look at service information - Service Provider SW ver. you don't have a XEO-FW?

Do you download a non-branded fw or a branded fw?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] iMrUniverse:
Okay, o first of all, I must say the tutorial is somewhat ' well explained '. Though I have tried multiple times with multiple solutions posted in the thread and I4m just NOT getting it. I get as far as flahing Magisk on my phone but I get stuck on bootloop every time. I have a couple questions regarding this.

1. In the guide it says ' if you don't want to unlock bootloader ' , however this guy is to root your phone isn't it? But OP posted a reply saying you CANNOT root without unlocking bootloader, so why is that option there, and is that option vital for making the root work in the first place???

2. I did all steps ( except for the not unlocking bootloader part ) but I get stuck on bootloop. I tried using the 2 files from .tar , with a clean boot.img and patched and everything, still bootlooped after using Odin. )

3. Why does this guide not work for me if I followed all the steps ? Are there mistakes in the guide ? I have a A715F LUX ( just like OP ) and nothing of all of this works. I seriously need some help I've been on this for days without anything working.

Ryαn#7331 I can use all of the help.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] obodzin:
I did just like you. I downloaded Frija, I chose the phone model + CSC: XEO (non-branded).

In Odin I gave BL, AP, CP, CSC and CSC Home.

After the installation is still the same, I have operator's stuff.

Service Provider SW shows me:

SAOMC_SM-A515F_OXM_PLS_QQ_0014 (...)

PLS/PLS PLS/EUX/PLS

What am I doing wrong? :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] iMrUniverse:
I have problems rooting my Samsung A71.

I patch the downloaded AP file ( from Frija ) on Magisk, and transfer it to my PC. ( new file called patched_magisk.tar ) I open up the Tar fle, and delete every file except for recovery.img and vbmeta.img.

I take the boot.img.lz4 from prepatched AP file ( original download from Frija ) and move it to phone, patch is with Magisk, and put it in the .tar file. (So .tar file has now recovery.img + vbmeta.img + boot.img)

I open up oding (3.41) in administrator mode, and I press ' AP ' and select the magisk_prepatched.tar file. ( with the 3 files in it ). I untick AutoReboot, and let Odin install it. When it successfully finishes, my phone goes into booloop mode even though I'm holding down Volume Up + Power.

I also tried without moving any file from the .tar file and it gives me the same result !

I can get rid of the bootloop but the root itself is NOT working.

I'm seriously tired of waiting for help. It's been a couple days and no one is willing to help. This is enough information to get you started as tp where my problem is. PLEASE. FRICKING. HELP. Thankyou.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
So if you got to the point where it bootloops after you tried to boot the rooted partition, you need to mount the system.

Can you boot the system with Magisk without having to hold the VOLUME UP + POWER button?

Quote:

After it restarts and the screen went off I quickly pressed and held the volume up and power button until the bootloader warning appeared again, pressed the power button, and after the samsung logo appeared, quickly pressed and held the volume up

until the stock recovery does not appear

-> stock recovery -> mount system -> reboot to the system.

I'm confused: What is meant by until the stock recovery does not appear? What appears instead, since the first words that follow that statement is "-> stock recovery"?

Is it possible to do this process from Linux?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] redrockdeli:
Thanks to Cyber Axe & Wingchundub, I successfully rooted my phone.

I changed the method a bit.

1. Copy AP to phone, patch it with Magisk, copy magisk_patched.tar to pc

2. Delete everything in magisk_patched.tar except recovery.img & vbmeta.img

3. Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP, decompress it

4. Copy boot.img to phone, patch it with Magisk, copy magisk_patched.img to pc

5. Install busybox on pc, make sure busybox.exe, magisk_patched.img & original boot.img are in the same folder

6. Run this command:

busybox dd if=magisk_patched.img of=boot.img conv=notrunc

7. Copy modified boot.img (from Step 6) to magisk_patched.tar

8. Uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin. Choose BL for BL, magisk_patched.tar for AP, CP for CP, HOME_CSC for CSC. Start

9. Press Vol-Down + Power to turn off phone, quickly press Vol-up + Power to boot to recovery

10. Wipe data, Reboot system now

11. Install Magisk on phone

Step 6 stops boot loop in recovery. Choose Reboot system now, and there will be no boot loop.

Once you ROOT you loose access to OTA updates

I still have an Samsung S8, buy I was thinking about an upgrading to a Samsung A71.

But from previous experience, once you trip Knox (0x1) by uploading a recovery partition or Rooting your phone, you will loose OTA Updates from your carrier and you will have to update via Odin every time they release an update, then re-apply root again once updated.

I hope this helps :cowboy:

for CTS safetynet...

Open magisk manager

- RIRU EDXPOSED YAHYA

Reboot

Next step download and install edxposed.apk (ofc. on github)

Open edxposed.. goto download and search "HiddenCore modul" install

Reboot , check the safetynet ?

Or use manual hidden with Magisk hide

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy5150:
Well, i'm just going to say what needs to be said: The process, in general, is flawed and needs to be fixed at it's root (Magisk) where the process can actually get back to working the way the guide says so 10+ pages of frustration and aggravation can be avoided. I have read all 11 pages. Listened to people who claimed their process worked then people who "altered" the process and it worked, ect, ect, ect. Cyber Axes does, without a double and i explained in the next post why.

Fix the original process at it's root (pun maybe needed) so these work-arounds aren't necessary.

As an alternative I've been going back and forth with (magiskupdate@gmail.com)...

....and that guy gave me zero "real" answers. He kinda danced around things, asking me for information, once even forgot who i was and i had to start over on things, and finally said "We made it work here, this morning, on an A71 Samsung". But the odd thing was, the screen-capture he sent me.....the date listed (on the screen cap) was from the previous month (06/13/2020).

Does that make the guy just dumb, a liar, or what? I just dunno....

I mean i would ask the guy direct questions and he would answer my questions with questions or just avoid the answering.

I'm still trying to figure his whole deal. Finally, i asked him "what guide did you use? what's the link?" and I've yet to get an answer from him. I mean, it almost seems like the guy "doesn't" know, especially with showing me a root-tester screen shot a month old and claiming it was yesterday it was done.....like i wouldn't notice or something.

I miss the older XDA days when the rooting process was more.....solid. These extra steps, they just need to fix the whole process where you don't have to jump through hoops.
