[Samsung Galaxy A10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahuxdxd:
I am not responsible for any damage to your device, when you root you lose the Warranty

This guide collects A107F development info, but with the files ported to the A107M.

Thanks to the Galaxy A10s Development team for the original files.

You need to be on Android 10, if you are on android 11, there are tutorials to downgrade.

[BootLoader Unlock]

- Backup all your media, this process will delete your internal media including music and photos

- Go to developer settings and enable [OEM Unlock]

- Reboot to download mode (Turn off, press VOL- & VOL+ and connect the USB)

- When prompted, press and hold VOL + to enter bootloader unlock mode

- Press VOL + to confirm you want to unlock bootloader, this will wipe your data

- If you think the bootloader is fully unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will still reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.

- Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we flash TWRP and magisk

- Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader. This step is MANDATORY

- Perfect! Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode.

[Twrp Install]

At this point, you will need to install Odin on your PC.

Bootloader unlocked is OBLIGATORY.

On your MicroSD, put the "A10s-encryption-disabler.zip" file.

Boot to download mode, load "VBMeta" file in AP and "TWRP Ported to A107M" file in BL

- Disable [Auto Reboot] in Odin

- Flash

- Force a reboot by pressing VOL+, VOL - and POWER buttons at the same time

- With the USB connected, and after the screen goes black, IMMEDIATELY let go of all buttons and IMMEDIATELY press and hold VOL+ and POWER button at the same time to boot to TWRP Recovery

NOTE: TWRP on this phone is not perfect, after booting to it, the screen will remain black after the Samsung logo disappears, simply wait 10 seconds and press the power button 2 times to have acces to it.

- After booting to TWRP successfully, go to WIPE in TWRP

- At the bottom, you should see an option to FORMAT DATA. After you select it, you will be asked to type "yes" in your keyboard. If you do not see this, you probably selected the wrong option.

- After formatting data, flash the "A10s-encryption-disabler.zip" with TWRP. This is done to avoid future bootloops.

- Optional, flash "Magisk.zip" if you want to keep on Stock ROM with root.

- After doing this, boot back to system and you are done

- Wait patiently for the device to boot for the first time

[Custom ROMs Install]

Bootloader unlocked and TWRP isntalled are OBLIGATORY.

Most of the GSI ROMs of this forum works fine on this device.

Only download a64 ROMs, do not confuse with ARM64.

On your MicroSD, put the ROM image.

- Boot to TWRP

- Go to Wipe > Advanced

- Wipe ONLY the System partition

- Go to Install

- At the bottom, select option "Install Image"

- Search for your GSI. It should be something that ends in .img. If it ends in .xz instead, you need to extract the image first

- Optional, if you want Root, flash the "Magisk.zip" file

- Go to recovery main menu

- Go to Reboot

- Reboot to Recovery

- After that, go to Wipe and perform a Factory Reset

- Reboot to System and enjoy!
