It looks like this guide is a little out-dated, so I'll post what I have changed to make this work on my device.

The guide asks to uncheck the Preserve AVB 2.0/Dm-verity and FIle Encryption options, but in the latest Magisk Manager these are not available. The good thing is, apparently you don't need them. Just ignore this part and patch the boot.img as usual.

After you copy magisk_patched_XXXXXX.img and rename it to boot.img, you have to compress it back to lz4 using this command:

lz4 -B6 --content-size boot.img boot.img.lz4

Then add boot.img.lz4 back into the AP tar archive replacing the old file.

That's It. Flash this AP together with CP, BL, and CSC using Odin.

I don't entirely understand this whole process, had to figure this out using trial and error. So please, correct me if something is wrong.

This worked on the latest Android 11, One UI 3.1. So surprising that nobody noticed this. Thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] GrandAdmiral:
I am having issue adding the patched img file to the archive. 7z keeps saying not implemented. If I completing extract the AP file and try to re-archive it using @bgeyts667 tips, ODIN says the binary is bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] ShotSkydiver:
I ran into the same issue; I fixed it by just renaming your modified/new AP .tar.md5 file to just .tar, then pointing ODIN to that file. It should work since it'll skip the MD5 check.

So i managed to root the tablet, but i had a total safety net failure ;((( Pretty much unuseless. How to fix? Does the bootloader has to be locked in order to not fail? Because i installed the normal firmware without root and safenet still totally failed...

I also noticed... when KG State is normal Locking Option In Dev mode is greyed out... However when crashing the UI (not reboot or force power off) then the Samsung Logo appears and Locking option is available again in Dev mode

Hello , i have the s6 lite wifi with magisk on it... My problem is when I install a update every times I need to do a factory reset and start over again when I want to install the root ( the boot.img patched in Odin. ) For updating I download my complete firmware and install it with Odin... I have trying to patch the AP file from the firmware in magisk but never work when you want to install it, magisk do something wrong with this device I know this method work with the S21 and you can keep the data.. So who you can keep the data when you update the device with magisk??

Hello boys.

I have tried to install magisk manager In my TAB S6 lite, unfortunately there is no version of TWRP for this tablet, that's because i've tried it from default recovery but it has failed, as seen in the screenshots.

Maybe the Magisk-v20.3.zip version is not correct? but the source seems right...

Either way, I'm stuck at point 8

S6 Lite on the way.

Is the root method here valid for latest firmware (P610XXU2DUK1)?

Recommended version/Url for Magisk Manager to use on this? (Magisk v23, or Canary series, or...)

What current TWRP is there for it?

Thanks!

Dumb question: just bought one with SM-P610NZABXAR. I only get a new tablet like every four or five years. The last time I did anything with a Samsung tablet, it had to be an exact match. Not finding anything for this. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] R!ffRaff:
what do you want to do exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] lloydsw:
I want to root it. From this thread, it seems like you have to download the firmware, extract the boot image, root that & flash it. So if I need the firmware to do that, I want to make sure it's correct
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] R!ffRaff:
that's right, see the first thread

you have to unzip the boot image and patch it with the magisk manager and pack a tar file and flash it with odin. this is similar to the boot logos.

and if something doesn't work, you simply flash the original with odin, because everything is there again

frimware

test it

whats your country?

you can test lineage, works fine with magisk & gapps an come with ota! that's the only reason i bought our tablets and i'm buying another one!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] lloydsw:
Thanks! I'll be having some fun this morning. Haven't even had my OOBI with the tablet yet. I wasn't even going to open the box unless I knew I could root it.

Country Is USA. And yes, I'll be moving to lineage, been using lineage - and it's predecessor - on my SM-T713 for the last five years.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] R!ffRaff:
the switch is very easy.

1. unlock bootloader maybe you need bypass (after step 3 - it works on new device (without waiting)

2. make a software update to the latest version or install the last one via odin

3. Load lineage & recovery, rename recoverry to recovery.img and pack it with 7zip as a * .tar file and flash with odin

4. boot into recovery and wipe data / factory reset and flash lineage, maybe gaaps and magisk - use lygisk (Magist fork with ota patch for a/b devces)

5. done und have fun

So I'm curious: finally getting around to doing this & the link for the firmware has the latest as of August, while there's apparently a November update available. I'm used to rooting my non-Samsung devices in fastboot mode, by doing an sdb pull on boot.img, patching it with magisk & flashing in fastboot.. I guess my question is: do Samsung updates come with a new boot image? I feel like I want the update before rooting

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] badabing2003:
With the latest version (I believe Nov 3rd) I have it rooted with Magisk 23.0 but Safteynet fails.

Does this work with Zygisk version of Magisk? Should I switch to it?

Or do we need to be on Magisk v23.0 ?

How does one pass safetynet?

Old version of Safteynet ? riru version or zygisk version?

It would be nice whoever has navigated these would chime in and clarify.

Thanks

This works with Latest Magisk Canary version (with zygisk)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] d3m1.60d:
If you haven't fixed it yet, you have to either use Samsung's Smart Switch app while your tablet is plugged in and have it spit out a code to put back INTO Smart Switch to fix it, or if the program doesn't give you a code, you'll have to do what I did and use this FRP Hijacker. You click an option called 'sofbrick fixer' and it just pops right out of that screen.

Hopefully that helps ya.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] codeheadache:
i got that error as well following the install process for samsung devices on the magisk github. When I tried a second time i unlocked the bootloader and allowed custom os install. I reflashed the original firmware, booted into Android and when i installed magisk it said it required additional setup and a reboot. After a reboot you'll notice it now says installed and if you do click install there's a "direct install" option as well as the regular image patching option.

hope that helps

There is a poor job happening on the differentiation and clarification on the tablet. There are two tablets with the same name. Sammy just swapped the cpu chip from going from the 2020 model SM-P610 and the 2022 model SM-P613. As far as I can tell Sammy changes the chip to kill and stop modding and rooting.

.

Yes if you have a newer SM-P613 then you cannot do anything. Do anyone know different ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] Svan987:
Method works with the 2022 model SM-P613 (gta4xlvewifi). It's the wifi version.

At the end after odin flash "boot.tar" (keep checked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time").

Wait until the tablet do a double reboot and you will get a screen where you have to do the

"Factory Reset".

Guide worked for me! Just got a Tab S6 Lite. What I didn't know is you need to bootloader unlock to root lol. I was going to stay stock with root so I didn't think I needed to bootloader unlock.

Still easier than LG. I wish there was an easy guide with Linux as I hate popping onto Windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] awtompson:
Here's my experience with rooting the SP-P610. I followed the directions a couple of times but never got root. I finally flashed the latest stock ROM with Odin then extracted the boot.img, processed with Magisk and reflashed just he boot.img. That did the trick. I'm not sure if using a boot.img file from a different ROM was the problem, but it worked when I got it all the same. Netflix and Banking apps all working under Root.

When a new system update comes out, we'll see if I can do it again.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] dumbasshack:
You know I've been doing Android things for quite a long time and I would like to know how that from Odin after you flash the boot image without it rebooting how do you get into recovery my device will not go to recovery no matter what I try and the only way to get out of the Odin mode is to hold the volume and the power button once you do that it goes and it boots again it will not go to recovery so I think your explanation is a little suspect And then after it boosts the only way to go to recovery is to use ADB and maybe there's something wrong with my device so a little explanation on that part of your explanation would be great

Please don't give me the cliche did you check your drivers did you check your cable do you have the up-to-date this that or the other thing Or did you run the ODIN mode in administrator I realized that everybody needs to go back to the 101 every once in awhile but trust me I've gone back to the 101 about 16 times with this stupid tablet and the only way I'm finding to rid it is with a sledgehammer

Thank you so much for this, it was much needed.

I just purchased my first samsung device, S6 Lite Wifi 2020 (SM-P610)

Damn, Samsung is complicated. I always used fastboot with other brands and it was so much easier.

Anyway, with Build 21/09/2023: P610XXU4FWH7 (ONE UI 5.1.1 Update) this method did not work from me.

So I adjusted the steps with what wasn't really working with newer magisk.

1. Download the firmware for your your tablet

2. Extract boot.img.lz4 from the AP portion of the firmware with 7zip

3. Download Lz4 https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases to your pc corresponding version.

4. use lz4 from command prompt to uncompress boot.img.lz4

eg. if files .tar and lz4 are in the same folder: lz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img

5. Compress boot.img to boot.tar via 7zip (This will tell magisk is odin related)

6. Move the boot.tar to your tablet, open up magisk manager then patch it

7. Take the patched_magisk from downloads out of the tablet to your pc and then rename it from magisk_patched-xxx_xxx.tar to boot.tar

8. Turn off the tablet

9. Start tablet in download mode ( keep volume up + volumne down and insert usb c cable connected to pc) then confirm with volume up.

10. In Odin under options remove "Auto reboot"

11. Flash that boot.tar on the AP Section

12. Turn off tabled (Volume down + Power)

13. Enter in recovery mode (volume up + power)

14. Wipe data and do a factory reset

15. Do the initial configurations

16. Reinstall Magisk and open it (reboot if requested)

17. Profit

After the first bootloop this video was a blessing:

P.s. Initially I was intentioned to use stock firmware without root for a while and maybe move to lineageos at a later stage

But the fact that this new update broke the Second Screen functionality (

https://www.reddit.com/r/samsungtabs6lite/comments/16q2wpm
) by locking Smart View 8.2.21.26 pissed me off.

I'll soon look for a downgrade of the component or a workaround.

Cheers

Hey just wondering have you found any workaround regarding the locked smart view issue ? I'm also looking for workaround haven't found any
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] redirete:
Unfortunately no workaround.

After rooting I tried to overwrite the app without success, so I removed it with the intention of replacing it, but it seems It's not possible.

I'm guessing if a magisk module would be a doable way to push a modded / older version of the app into place.

If I'm already on LineageOS 20.0 and want to root so that I can use AdAway across the device would I first need to revert back to Stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Guides, News, & Discuss] badabing2003:
No,

Just get the boot.img from LineageOS firmware, patch it, create boot.tar and flash as AP.

You can use the app from my signature to do it all for you (up to creating the patched boot.tar), you'd have to flash in odin manually as odin cannot be programmatically controlled.

I've asked once and someone said that 9.0.17 is neccessary before update to 10.3.x.

Also there is option to flash from system without losing magisk modules:

1. Flash manually from update center (do not reboot)

2. Enter magisk and flash to another slot (after OTA)

3. Flash TWRP installer like magisk module

4. Reboot
