Your technique works, without a "doubt", and anyone that says otherwise....they did it wrong.

Oh, i had moments where i missed one or two steps and forgot to do something specific but, once i re-read over the guide, i realized my mistakes and it worked.

Some people don't realize you have to go into recovery and "mount" after doing your guide.

Some people don't read the part about the PWR+VOL UP to get it into "magisk" mode.

But once you see that "Samsung" notice come up (after the bootloader unlock warning screen and the Warning screen about not running a Samsung system) you know you've made it. Head to your favorite root checker and it will verify.

Still, that being said, some people are immensely "visually" driven so photos plus text work better and a top-to-bottom guide needs to be re-written and posted. This is not an insult to Cyber Axe or anyone else it's just that some (like me) have a problem getting sentences sometimes jumbled and a more visual guide works better.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ctzulu:
yeah man also this is not very good structured

i try to summerize

download firmware >>copy Ap from firmware to phone >> patch with magisx >> from the patched file extract everything but the 2 files recovery/vbmeta >>copyback to PC and insert boot img from unpatched AP into theTAR ( or do you mean patch the boot img separatly ) and then copy into tar >> use odinto flash ap and disable reboot

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

also this is unclear .. power on with vol up ok but keep pressing vol up or release every button after it turns on

Does this method work on the At&t model of A71?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy5150:
I honestly don't think it cares as long as you have the correct firmware. There is software called Frija (version 1.4.2 to this date i believe) that's much faster about downloading firmware than the mother website and Samsung. I've not heard anyone say "don't use it on whatever version of the phone" because mine is international with firmware from Guatemala and i'm in the USA.

After installing the USB driver my windows7 tries installing MTP wich fails every time.

So even before continuing doing anything, i cant even connect to my pc :crying:

Edit: solved!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy5150:
Check the cable. Often, cables are bad or you might be using a charge cable to do a data cable's job.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
No, cable is okay, i know the diference between charge and data cables, i had to force windows not to look in windows update, but force to look on hdd, and than force to choose specific hardware. (MTP USB Device)

It is solved.

In fact, for others may have this problem when MTP refuses to be installed:

Choose: Method 2: Update Device Driver

(Use METHOD 2 step 1 to 7 ! )
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy5150:
So you're saying Windows 7 recognizes the phone but not as a MTP device? The odd thing is, when you install the correct Samsung drivers, it should automatically recognize and use those pre-installed drivers. Are you sure your drivers are the correct ones? When i used Win 7 and planned to root the phone, i would pre-install the Samsung drivers and it was always a snap.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
Of course i know about samsung drivers first installation, they installed before for my old phone and lineage_OS etc. They are up to date.

Im no newbie, but for some reason i could connect all old Samsung phones, except when connecting the A71, pc went for updating drivers online. So i was already beyond the point you talk about...

Dont ask me why, but in such cases you have to follow the " Method 2" thing as i referred to.

Problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy5150:
It's not really that i was curious about, just what you did to (cause) come to your problem in the first place. Oh well. No biggie.

Hi all,

I've updated my Galaxy A71 to the latest update included with AP patched by Magisk Manager..

and then i found that the download mode is gone.

All i see is exactly like this:

https://cutt.us/wuxzj

Except for the device status in the bottom "unlocked" for me.

was this caused by the update or I've screwed something ?!!

any help would be appreciated , thank yall.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizauthar12:

could you please send me your "firmware" you're using?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] hans3103:
I had the same, power off the device and then push both volume keys, with the buttons pushed connect the USB cable to your computer. I am not sure but I think I did that.

After bootloader unlock or magisk installed can I update phone with software update(stock recovery) or i need full odin package??
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
After root update only with odin

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Still, after all the postings, there are several posters in writing or by youtube-links explaining how they got root working, though there is none where I see a (working) step-by-step guide without referring to other postings etc. This makes it all very very confusing.

It would be nice if there would be a "final" posting in wich from plain un-rooted phone to working rooted one with a "step 1, step2 steps " hide here, without referrals to earlier postings....

Since there is no such guide, it has all become very unclear what method(s) work and wich just dont.

Im no programmer whatsoever but with all respect,

this is the messiest thread i have ever been in :eek:

Therefor i hope someone takes the effort in sorting things out...

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterEsno:
I'm happy to know that my a71 root tutorial video worked for you, and I was happy to read the video commentary when I saw all the successfully rooted on their device

have to be patient in rooting a71,

as long as you follow the steps correctly what I did in my video ... you will definitely succeed in rooting.

2 additional steps after root:

1. After successful rooting, please open Magisk...

download and install (in menu download on magisk) :

# riru core

# riru edxposed yahfa

then reboot.

2. install edxposed and safetynet.apk

Or follow this step (link download safetynet.apk) :

https://youtu.be/pkWjEZe6p74

functions to normalize cts/safetynet.

if the magisk cts/safetynet is normal, then in all applications and in the system it reads normally
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nate Rules:
Hi guys, sorry for asking a dumb question, but I haven't bought this phone yet. Can the phone's bootloader be unlocked if it is still being paid for? Or would I need to have T-Mobile unlock it first? Thinking about getting it when I add a line since it would be so cheap, but I need it rooted. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJ UNDERGROUND:
Hello, in the middle of the process of updating the mobile, I enter fastboot mode, I managed to get out of the mode, update and everything is fine, I updated again and then the mobile turned off by itself. And to turn it on I had to press all 3 buttons at the same time. No matter how hard I tried to calibrate the battery, and did full cleaning. Due to this I decided to root, at the moment it has not turned off alone.

If you could do a favor and tell me if I flash a clean stock rom again, will the root be deleted? Is that I need the application of online banks.

If positive, would I have to wait for the rom to settle, so that the battery does not decalibrate again?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] odatkid:
I purchased an unlocked international model [SM-A715F]. I downloaded Odin and the latest USB driver and Frija and my CSC is TPA, and Extracted SM-A715F_1_20200822065834_xxxxxxxxx_fac. and downloaded the firmware.

Since it's an unlocked phone, do I skip the bootloader unlocking?

I guess I don't need to flash the CSC since I don't have any data yet. I have not inserted the sim card (Cricket) yet and have not connected to the internet. I want to get it rooted first.

I Copied the (AP_A715XXXXU1XXXX_CL00000000_QB00000000_REV00_use r_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS10.tar.md5) to internal storage.

Then I should open Magisk Manager and go to Install > Install > Select and Patch a file.

-Navigate through the storage and select the extracted AP file.

The firmware will be patched and will be found in Internal Storage/Download/magisk_patched.tar.

I transfer the patched file to my PC.

-Turn OFF your device and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE.

-In Odin, click on AP and select the patched tar file, Uncheck “Auto Reboot” and click on Install.

The tool will flash Magisk V20 on your Samsung Galaxy A71.

Is that the correct order? My head is spinning and I don't want to brick my phone.

Thank you for your work and your help is appreciated.

Just read further in your original post saying to someone "you can't root without unlocking bootloader". I think that answers my question. Any other tips are appreciated.

Thank you again, Tom
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0lkod4v:
Followed your video instructions and successfully obtained root. Thank you very much for the video.

I have a question. In the future if there is a Magisk update, would it be safe to use Direct Install method to upgrade Magisk? Or do we have to patch the file yet again?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] odatkid:
I hope you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the firmware and used Odin to install. My bootloader is unlocked. Downloaded and installed the latest Magisk Manager APK. I Open Magisk Manager on my phone and try to go to "Install > Install > Select and Patch a file".

I get no way to "Select and Patch a file'. I've gotten this far. RED "Magisk not installed" and GREEN "Magisk Manager is up to date". I can't navigate to the file I put on the phone. What am I missing?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] viktor92:
Oh man, it was the most painful cell rooting I've done in my life. the number of steps and problems were incredible, at one point I wondered why I had gotten into such troubles, but finally mounting system from recovery was the magic cure.

Still I can't believe how there is not a version of TWRP for this device...
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
Still, I have not seen clear straight forward start-to-end instruction described here, there are some, but referrimg to point xx in other threads, wich make it all unclear what to do at wich point.

Also a video, wich seems to work, but in Spanish with subtitle, wich is not helpfull due to chance of missing essentials.

Until that, im satisfied the way the phone is from factory, and coop with the samsung bs meanwhile...
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] viktor92:
I've done so many things that it's hard to me remember all in detail, but basically I've followed the Cyber Axe instructions, and then I had to mount system from stock recovery, and from then on I never had to press volume up button again to boot the phone with magisk activated.

I read internet, samsung T mobile version has locked down bootloader dam now you have a problem friend.

Be carefull, but you could brick doing the following ( and FIRST investigate the web or XDA about it!!)

Try flash unbranded standard rom. It is because samsung lock the bootloader for T mobile...

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
but how would I unroot and if I can would I get OTA updates again. also if I wanted to stay rooted Could I patch then flash the latest firmware and would I be able to get feature updates by downloading firmware and patching it?

EDIT:

if TWRP is released for the device could I just flash the magisk root directly from there?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
My phone won't even power on and is completely unresponsive.

I followed this guide to a T, and everything worked right up to the part where I flash the new tar (with patched boot.img, recovery.img, and vbmeta.img.) in odin along with BL CP and CSC. In the video it works, but for me it shows 'FAIL'. Then powered off using the volume up and down keys as per the video. The phone turns off and now it will not turn back on.

I have been googling etc. but not much out there.

Can anyone help me get it to even turn back on? This sucks to have happen to a brand new phone.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0lkod4v:
I don't consider myself to be a tech literate person to a high degree, I am also in my 50s and I followed the video and had zero problems. So have other people in this thread. For you, something must have gone wrong along the way. I do accept the fact that in the past I did have instances where attempting to power on the device resulted in no response/black screen/no power. When this happened, I managed to bring it back to life by putting the device into download mode, then exiting the download mode thus restarting the device, or in some instances by flashing the stock firmware and trying to root all over again.

Hold volume up + down and plug in the cable into your PC. When the download mode comes up and because you already stated in your post that the Odin flash resulted in ''FAIL'', you need to reflash your stock firmware so you can get back to square one. After that you can either attempt to root again, or simply live with stock firmware and bebloat using ADB.

Thank you for this suggestion man, but this key combo and others are doing nothing for me. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
I think to get in download modus:

Hold vol up+down pressed together with on/off will start the show again....

:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterEsno:
1. hold down the power button + vol down, will it turn on?

this will go to the normal system

2. hold down the power button + vol up, will it turn on in yo recovery ?

this will go to the recovery mode

if both methods fail, is the device still detected in Odin?

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

my video works on april security patch, it even works on the latest august update and still uses the same way

important steps that must be considered:

# must flash the appropriate stockrom the device

# will not work without unlocking OEM and bothloader

# do not flash only AP files, must be all four

# I suggest a clean flash (back up your data first)

# Before rooting the ROM update, flash the original stock ROM update first

# use the newer odin patched (https://xdaforums.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572/amp/)

# do it carefully and carefully, because the decision is from yourself, others only help as much as possible

I tested it successfully:

# root patch security april, july, august

# updating by flashing stock rom will remove root akset
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
Thank you for all the replies guys.

No progress so far:

1. Holding up + down+ power = nothing, unresponsive to short and long press

2. Holding up+ down and then plugging into computer= unresponsive, Odin and device manager shows nothing

3. Holding down + power, plugged or unplugged = nothing, unresponsive to short and long press

4. Holding up + power, plugged or unplugged = nothing, unresponsive to short and long press

The firmware I used was downloaded in Frija with CSC that corresponds to CSC of the stock phone:

SM-A715F_1_20200902045204_88x0tc3wv3_fac.zip

Its a September update looks like.

Used Odin as per link in OP:

Odin3 v3.14.1.exe

and most updated Magisk as well.

What should I do?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasterEsno:
is the device still detected in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
Zero detection in Odin.

You think this means I'm out of luck?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
No vibrations?

No off charging animation?

Was it fully charged when you tried?

Does it even look like the pixels are turning on? (even if they're all black)?

The only thing I can think of for you is to do the following

- Connect your phone to the computer

- Trigger a force reboot. To do this, press all 3 buttons (power, VOL+ and VOL-) together at the same time for 6 seconds

- After 6 seconds pass (maybe 7), release all the buttons and then immediately after you release them, press and hold only VOL + and VOL - buttons together to try and boot to download mode

- This may take a few tries to get it right, so hopefully your device comes back to life.

I remember I was messing with another Galaxy phone where I had the wrong display libs and my screen was completely black. I did get scared but rebooting to download mode was possible after a few tries.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
No animations, no pixels lighting up, no vibration, it was pretty charged when it happened, and I have plugged it in since.

I just tried what suggested several times, but no luck there too unfortunately.

I will keep trying a few more times, but I think it might not do the trick.

Should I give up on this one?

What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
Does it still have warranty?

I'd take it to warranty and just say it shut off and never turned on.

Since you mentioned that ODIN failed, it probably didn't even flash the custom stuff, so your knox should still be 0x0.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
[/COLOR]

Good suggestion. I think that's what I will do. Will let you guys know.

And when I get the new one, I will be a glutton for punishment and try all this again on the new one.....
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] endor43:
On the next phone, should I first go into Odin and flash a stock version of the firmware I want to use before I go and try to flash the modified ones?

I don't think I will use the same firmware again, maybe a different CSC, any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] andreoide:
Disgusting suggestion you make here!

That is fraude and theft also!

He messed around and screwed up by doing whatever wrong, bricked it himself and bringing it back to shop and lie by saying the phone broke out of the blue by itself is a big lie.

Why should someone else pay for his mistakes?

If you are a person facing the mirror in the morning, take care you can greet yourself every day the rest of your life by being able saying you are a honest person.

Take your loss and BUY a new phone, do not steal from others or anyone by covering up the truth about your own mistakes with lies!

How are you making such an argument for a huge company like Samsung, as if this would affect them in any way. This isn't even a normative question. Maybe read Robin Hood or something mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] DonAndress:
Dude, first chill out.

Second, Samsung should have never locked bootloader or make changes so bloody difficult for people who feel strong enough to mess with phones. Once they sold the device it's not their f**king device anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
An argument can be made here that the device is faulty because it did not flash correctly "custom" firmware that has worked for hundreds if not thousands of users.

Forgive me if I don't shed a tear over a huge corporation that makes billions of dollars every year.

You're obviously taking the high road so there probably isn't going to be any reasoning with you so, I guess you do you.
