please i need assistance.

I rooted my A70 and just recently I unistalled Magisk mistakenly. I installed it back but it's not the way it used to be. I want to update from andriod 10 to 11.

i have everything needed and i want to confirm if i can flash ROM with Odin and then reroot my device.

and also if there is any special step i need to take to run the update from to to 11

do you know where I can find the file in stock rom to remove the bootloader warning? is it in BL or AP

I was also keen on learning on how to extract the .mbn files
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boudzzzz:
do i only flash in the AP in odin or do ineed to put files in BL CSC and CP
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trikstar:
I follow every step and tried other methods but still end up failed in odin for AP tar file with log said vbmeta fail(Auth)

Flashing the patched AP file failed and I had to factory reset my phone to use it.. pls help
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] SketchSlayer:
Following the guide but with all the latest files yields a fail in the final odin step, some vbmeta thing about only being able to use official files which then requires flashing the unmodified AP file via odin in order to even boot.

This is knox being the flaming garbage it is, so how do we kill knox first so we can actually fricking root our devices hmmmm?

The A71 5G or the A716U is the newer version of the A71**F or whichever is here on this area of the forum. Unless it is specifically for the

A71 5G

or the

A716U

, these methods are not compatible with that phone.

NOTE: As of yet (Nov 2021), there are NO current ways to Root the A71 5G even through paid services with the OneUI 3.1*

I can't find "Enable OEM Unlocking" or Unlock Bootloader in download mode. I have the SM-A715W .
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
You can't unlock W devices, your device is probably from canada, it's possible to unlock but you need to pay for an e-token and it's not worth it.

Damn, alright. Thanks for the info. Anyways im getting a Unlocked Galaxy S7 for christmas which is way easier to root haha
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
So I take it that this is unrootable then? I have new a71 5g t-mobile. Was forced into new November 2021 update. Auto updated. No oem option even with time/date tweak. I am new to this phone. My older v20 has better features but was blacklisted for tmobile because of 5g. I have the U series (SM-A716U) A71 5G. One ui 3.1.

What about temp root with locked bootloader, is that even possible?

The cam features on this phone suck. No hdr recording for rear cams. Has for front, but in 1080p. So dumb. Main reason for root wanted is better cam and more abilities.

Be nice if a unpayed way was found. These days suck for cell phones lol. Thanks in advanced.

Greetings to all. I have a Samsung galaxy A71. I'm new here. The phone was reset from the factory. I don't know the screen lock id or google account used. Because of this I can not enter the settings to activate unlock OEM bootloader.

What steps should I follow for root

I tried with Odin, firmware, and something else I found around here but I couldn't.

A helper? Please... Thnks

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] omidff2:
Is the phone rooted? What Android did you root it with? What program did you root with?

There are a few instructions that are used for problems like this: Clear the data of the app in question and delete the update. Turn off any option it has. Delete its account. If the problem is not solved, restore your phone to factory settings. If not, backup your data and then flash it

If the problem is still not solved, you should use similar ( samsung pass ) programs

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] omidff:
I researched this issue and found it to be related to Knox being activated after rooting for security reasons.

There are solutions for Samsung corporate programs such as Samsung health, but so far no solution has been found for Samsung pass. Now I want to try to solve this problem according to similar solutions. By editing system files and build.prop file. But it is a difficult task and it takes time because the operating system may have problems with editing these files every time and it needs to be flashed.

Hello

One question. I never root a phone, but now I have two Phones (POCO F5 and A71) and i am thinking to root my A71. If I root the A71 it is possible continue have updates for the New Android versions like 14, because samsung don't go send more updates in this model.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Williamtung:
Root doesn't enable you to update your firmware to unsupported versions by Samsung, but you to install custom ROMs .

Eg: https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases

Thanks

I understood, i was thinking in that to be possible have Android updates, for 14, 15 etc... but with custom ROMs. Is that you say, right?

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] H113408:
I tried what you described exactly, but it didn't work for me. I'm also a bit confused because all what magisk does is to patch 3 files, vbmeta - recovery and boot. So why do we need to patch the boot image again (separately) ?

Anyway even doing the steps you described I still got stuck on bootloop when trying to load magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] r3d1x:
Okay, this method is working for me except the last, but i solved it:

I patched the AP file in Magisk Manager, copied back to my pc, opened the tar file with 7zip and deleted all files except recovery.img and vbmeta.img.

I opened the original prepatched AP file in 7Zip and extracted the boot.img.lz4 and dragged it to lz4.exe.

I copied the uncompressed boot.img to my phone and patched it in magisk manager, copied back the patched file to my pc and put it in the tar file, flashed with odin (before flashing I unticked the auto reboot), after it's done, I pressed and held volume down and power and when the screen went off, quickly changed to volume up and power button and hold until the bootloader warning appeared, I released the buttons, and I pressed the power button to continue to samsung logo, and my phone got bootloop (after a few seconds).

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 -> hold volume up and power button (!) -> bootloader warning - press power button to continue -> samsung logo -> press and hold the volume up until the recovery does not appear -> recovery -> reboot to the system -> wait until the bootloader warning (and do not press and hold volume up and power (!) ) -> press the power to continue -> samsung logo, and wait and the phone is booted and working with magisk root. If you reboot the phone or shutdown it, magisk root is still working without pressing volume up and power.

hi, I tried it this way, but when I try to flash the modified AP file with Odin, it says 'File analysis..' in Odin and doesn't go further (I've waited for more than 15 min, then broke up, reopened Odin and tried it again, same result). I did every step like you said, patched the AP file in Magisk Manager, copied back to my pc, opened the tar file with 7zip and deleted all files except recovery.img and vbmeta.img, etc.

Do you have any idea?

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

same here, except that I'm using DBT firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyber Axe:
Since writing my initial post that I've discovered you don't need to use the vol up at boot thing you just turn it on and it boots into rooted OS with a successful SafetyNet check

As for your specific problem:

Do you have the same firmware version already installed on the phone as the tar you're trying to flash? If not flash the original tar with the BL, AP, CP and home csc file under csc (hoem CSC should mean you don't lose your data but i'd backup to be safe if you've not already and need to)

Are you flashing the tar as AP?

Are you using Odin v3.14.1?

If so, then it seems the tar is corrupt; It will take a long time on the original AP doing the file analysis due to the large file sizes but on the modified tar if done correctly then it should take less than 5 seconds.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

For me the boot.img did not patch correctly, I had to take the vanilla boot.img out of the original AP and patch it seperatly and put into the new tar, that for me made it work.

I do not know what is happeing on the low level as I'm not a developer of Magisk and did not go trawling through the logs for answers (though since it thinks it was successful i doubt the log would have shown anything)

The reason I tried doing the boot.img seperatly as that process is used on other phones that have a bare boot.img so i tried it and it worked when combined with the other files (I did try it on its own first)
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] H113408:
It did work at the end and even better than I expected (very strange). I don't have to boot into recovery in order to have magisk loaded, Magisk is loaded directly when booting into system (just like the old phones). Knowing this I flashed back the stock recovery to the phone and now it's working perfectly.

When I have some time I will see why this is happening but nothing is mentioned about this change on the Magisk documentation
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] phsnake:
Just a wee question, if I want to root only (w/o unlocking bootloader) is enough to flash patched AP? Thanks 4 answer
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
this is indeed a 'wee' question, since you can't root without unlocking bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] phsnake:
Maybe wrong formulation, if I want to root, is enough to flash AP? Unlock bootloader, then patch AP_*.tar using Magisk Manager, and afterwards flash patched version via ODIN? I know this are stupid questions, but from my experience usually (SG4-8, SG Tab etc.) was necessary to flash boot and recovery(at least for twrp) as well.THX

Been reading that few times but I cant really understand the process.

Do you need to do that part? I mean after the tutorial by Cyber Axe, you did get bootloop and solved by using r3d1x?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] awdrifter:
I have followed the original post, got stuck on not being able to boot into the system with Vol Up + Power. I think means the patching of the boot.img has some issues. So I followed Cyber Axe's guide on how to patch the boot.img and reflash it with Odin.

After that, I just followed literally this part of R3d1x's post.

After I did that I used Root Check and see that I have root.
