Magisk Root on Snapdragon based SM-G9860 S20+?

First of all, thanks for putting this guide together - very useful. I did want to share my experience following these instructions.

Everything went well until Stage 6 where I installed the Magisk patched AP file. The AP file was successfully patched with the latest canary Magisk and it also installed properly in Odin (did the full AP file and not the boot image since that encountered errors while trying to repack for some reason).

The problem is that when I reboot, No Magisk installed and No root...

I tried a factory reset just to confirm but same outcome. I did use the same AP file that was used to flash the phone as well.

Anyone successfully root and install Magisk on the Snapdragon based SM-G9860 S20+ (with latest Hong Kong firmware)? I suspect it has something to do with the Magisk not being able to handle the unlocked snapdragon based phones yet (it was like that for the Galaxy 10+ last year - took an extra month to come up with a Magisk branch that was able to handle the phone). I'm also following this thread for Snapdragons based S20 but it doesn't seem to have too many details yet

Cheers

My Snapdragon S20 has been rooted with Magisk. I think probably it has problem patching the full AP file. In that case, I recommend you to research how to pack a tar file. I don't recommend you to patch the full AP as it is huge.

Also be aware that all patched file is located in /sdcard/Download and named magisk_patched.*. It is NOT in-place patch. You might accidentally use the unpatched file.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Orphee:
So I tried to apply this tutorial to update my phone SM-G981F

And it can't boot. it finish in failsave recovery :

"Can't load ndroid system. your data may be corrupted..... please perform a factory reset...."

I really would like to avoid it... I flashed vbmeta_disabled.tar but no GO...

I was already rooted with Magisk patch on ATCH rom...

Edit : wiped...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] ASHLEY117:
As it finishes flashing firmware hold volume buttons as it reboots. Then flash patched boot.img and reboot. Worked for me going from ATCH to ATCT today.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] AloxeCorton:
Thanks for the help. I did try patching the TARed (using 7zip) boot.img.lz4 file but for some reason it just refuses to "repack" from within Magisk (see screen capture attached)- I'm not sure if anyone experienced this or if I'm overlooking something.

Also tried to reformat everything with the Chinese firmware instead of HK (it was a little more recent) but I got the same results. Oddly the full AP file seems to patch fine in Magisk but never produces the expected results (no Magisk installed, no root).

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Orphee:
I had the same issue... I used a tool (lz4_win64_v1_9_2) to uncompress lz4 format... I kept it just as boot.img and packed in boot.tar file and it worked.

Just for info, 7-zip built wrong tar file (don't ask me why...)... I had to use cygwin for it (or a linux if you have)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jesec:
That's expected.

From Android 10, encryption keys are tied to AVB key (stored in vbmeta). By disabling AVB, you changed the AVB key from Samsung's to none. Though, if I remember correctly, some old versions have security loophole that allows you to boot a patched kernel even if AVB key is intact (recovery is still protected however). That's actually a serious breach of this additional integrity assurance. (your sensitive data is still safe nonetheless as there is a customer key tied to your password/pattern/etc)

Read more: https://source.android.com/security/keystore/version-binding

That should not happen. Here is a screenshot if things are done right:

View attachment 4995093

Make sure you pack the TAR right (see OP for a screenshot of boot.img.lz4.tar) and the file you transfer to your device is the TAR file (boot.img.lz4.tar if you don't change the file name).

Plus, maybe check if Magisk version is right. Make sure you use the Canary builds.

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] bamonkey:
Looking at how this works *and since i also have the OP7T from TMo* , As long as your bootloader is unlocked this should work no problems

What' going to happen with new oos updates? Do we have to apply the update as usual and then apply again this tool? Does the tool needs to be updated to support every new oos update?

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] daxiaamu:
Of course you need to use this tool again after upgrade。

But this tool is not version related。It works for all versions include future versions without update itself。
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] daxiaamu:
Maybe it is the “”bat to exe convert” tool reason, it is wrong result I think.

I can ensure there is no virus in this tool.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] 4ektonik:
Thanks. And one more questions. Will be work after this Gogle pay.

After update do we need again do this procedure for root.

And after update do we need install magisk modulr or it will be saved after update ?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] daxiaamu:
this is just a root tool to install magisk.

the google pay things, you should ask tophohnwu or have a tryby yourself.

after an update, you should use this tool again.

the module will be saved for sure.

This tool seems to be legit. Not sure why Kaspersky says Virus.

Does using this method erase data from the phone?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ZuLa:
No, the thing that erases your data is bootloader unlocking. If you have it alreasy unlocked you won't loose anything

For everyone having the same problem with ctsprofile on magisk, the solution is to go to the magisk settings and enable the option "magisk hide". Then the phone passes the ctsprofile test.

Thanks. With this program i've had problems with usd debug (possibly my windows). At last, i make root with the post in this XDA about OP7T and i had no problem getting it. And the installation with viperfx, now, any problem. The problem of a few months ago when installing ViperFX and entering Bootloop has already been solved

Programs that facilitate obtaining the root are much appreciated, although in my case it is not possible

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowman82:
I used to think the same thing but I decided to root my phone so I can switch kernels. Right now I'm using Blu spark kernel which is stripped down and barely have OnePlus code's in it, instead the developer put more of Qualcomm code's into the kernel and left the most important needed codes from one plus. I'm digging the battery life in this kernel.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] 4ektonik:
Before all Disable all magisk modules

Be sure to use Canary Magisk Manager and Canary Magisk (debug)

You can update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:

- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;

- Open Magisk Manager;

- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;

- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;

- Reboot.

is it will work with your method of root ?

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I am under the same dilemma. I don't know if its worth rooting your phone when proper custom ROM access and TWRP is not available at the moment. Even then, what might we achieve with root that we don't already have now? One thing I miss about root is the ability to run both VPN/TOR and a system wide adblocker at the same time. But that's about it. Everything else, I already have other means and most of them are FOSS.

Hi

I am having a weird problem after flashing my J2 Pro 2016 (J210F).

I have used TWRP to flash rom , but with twrp if i try to flash J210F it shows below message . - "This device is j3xlte"

I can install any any j3 custom rom . But the phone wont charge . it will show charge icon , but battery wont charge . i have tried different roms , LineageOS, OctOS , 2-3 more, but same result .

Can any one help regarding that ?
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TBM 13:
Why are you trying to install j2lte (Galaxy J2 2015) LineageOS ROM in a J2 Pro 2016? They are different devices and if you manage to install it, the ROM won't boot.
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rdbhaxor007:
In phone settings it shows the Model is J2 Pro 2016 , In TWRP it shows J3xlte . I have tried other lineageOS versions as well . And j3xlte rom perfectly boots and works . Only charing doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prove N.:
Judging by your image, I guess it is some J Pro model with unified aluminum, not your thought-to-be a J2 2016 (J210).

TWRP codename corresponds to J3 Pro/2016 (SM-J320*) instead. I guess you mistaken your device or something

Also, why are you trying to install a J200* ROM here?

E2: can you link a j3xlte ROM for reference. Could be a ROM bug
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shiroyuki82:
a little bit of concern.

you should put a brief description/information per app to prevent confusion to those who will debloat their devices for the first time. for example

com.coloros.phonemanager = Phone Manager

so people won't gonna debloat their preferred apps.

and also, just a reminder. this guide is a bit to agressive, like com.coloros.athena, that is needed for the app killer functionality in recent task menu (the X button). so yea that's it, sorry for my bad engrish.

I use Oppo A3S/CPH1853 (Color OS 5.2) so COS version will also matter on how these apps behave.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tidschi:
As it's written:

For those who want to debloat the stock system without root, here my list with apps uninstalled for me.

Means:

It's my daily driver and yes much debloated, but for my purpose everything is fine.

Everyone has other preferences and apps he / she wants to use and for those there are several apps on Google Play telling you which app is installed and where.

Reminder also:

On RUI there's no X in task manager, but delete and it's still working!

And also from above:

Feel free to test and tell if there are any issues or options to debloat even more.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shiroyuki82:
You may misunderstood me, i'm sorry for the "X" thingy but it is the Clear button. and after debloating it's stopped functioning. it still leave the task, i also mentioned COS version there and that's just my concern. just a small input for those who are in lower version as yours.

+ you have your personal preference in debloating right? well every person has it's own preference so just adding app name will make a big difference for those 1st timers. :)

no offense but i just did what you want others to do and you repeated it twice, as stated:

Feel free to test and tell if there are any issues or options to debloat even more.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tidschi:
And for that reason there are several APK managers in Google Play.

Obviously everyone should have a look at the list, what will be debloated, before executing blind and wondering if something is missing, what he / she needs.

Can you imagine how much time it took me to figure out what can be debloated and what not?

It's not just a copy & paste list from other threads with Oppo or Realme lists, which you can find on XDA, too.

So if your issue exists in COS with Oppo, ok fine I got it.

But then just leave it out and you're fine, too.

Otherwise you can create a list for yourself from scratch, if you want to be 100% safe and to make that work again.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shiroyuki82:
lmao dude i don't get it lmao, so basically ur just offended on what i said from the beginning? there's no need for that. i created tons of debloating scripts in the past and i don't think you created this from scratch because basing from your list i see other packages in other debloating lists (using other debloat scripts as a base for this one). if you can't take any compliments then i won't gonna reply afterwards, too salty.;). i see your guide as non-friendly and i want to turn that into one because ur guide is too aggressive. jajajaja i'm out dude if you can't take Some Tips and Compliments.

to make long story short, my whole point on this is to make this more friendly to new users, well because debloating will be their 1st move instead of rooting. if that offended you because ik it will be another pain in the ass that's another story for later. kek :'v

i don't want any argument or similar like that, i just want more clarifications to the newer members who will try this guide. no offense but you become too aggressive.

You will need root for this method:-

[Samsung Galaxy M30s Questions & Answers] litetaker:
Hi, given that the Galaxy M31 does not yet have a forum on XDA and since it is so similar in specs to its predecessor, the M30s, I thought of asking this question here. I am very interested in this phone model (M31 specifically) and I am curious if this phone is compatible with the cellular networks in the UK. I am mostly interested in the massive battery and there are just so few choices with such a huge battery.

If it is compatible, then I am thinking of purchasing this phone from India the next time I visit and using it in the UK. But before I make such an investment, I wanted to double check that it can work here otherwise it might become a heavy paperweight.
