[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] JamesBott:
Since I had failed at all the instructions so far, I contacted ivan_meier.

With his very friendly help the s10e is now running on LOS 18.1; with Magisk and TWRP.

Status: Jan. 2022

Everything that follows is the knowledge of ivan_meier! (Honour to whom honour is due!). I only did the steps during the communication.

Before note: the Phone is reset, Format Data is made. Make thoughts about backup. I started from scratch!

Step 1: Odin flash FW (for me Samfw.com_SM-G970F_DBT_G970FXXSEFUL1_fac.zip)

Step 2: Boot the phone. Setup only minimal (no account (Google...) create, Phone about 10..15 min run let because during the data and init are updated in the background.

Step 3: Phone reboot and install Magisk.apk. Copy the AP-File from the firmware to the phone. Patience: this is about 5GB, it takes time.

Step 4: Turn on developer options, turn on USB debugging, on PC "adb devices", on Phone "always allow: yes".

Step 5: Phone in bootloader-mode, bootloader unlock (who does "yes" now sets Knox to "1" for ALL times. Please think carefully if you want this!

If you unlock the bootloader with "yes": the phone automatically does "factory reset & format data", so after startup setup again minimal.

Step 6: Start Magisk, install - patch file, select the AP in the phone and when Magisk is done it says WHERE the magisk_patched is located and HOW it is called.

Then copy it to PC. Patience: this is about 5GB that have to be patched and then copied to the PC.

Step 7: Put the phone in download mode, use Odin to flash the firmware "BL, CS, CSC and in AP the magisk_patched".

Step 8: Reboot the phone and install Magisk.apk. Magisk should now show "Yes" at Installed. But this is not important.

Step 9: Odin:

twrp from Samsung Galaxy S10e (Exynos) (insert into AP-slot in odin)

vbmeta index - powered by h5ai (insert into CP-slot in Odin)

deselect auto reboot,

when Odin is ready hold volume down and bixby and power, when phone goes off(screen goes black) switch from holding volume down to volume up

Phone starts in TWRP, keep holding it and keep it plugged into PC

first in TWRP format data (format it, wiping it is not enough)

then TWRP install this kernel

s10e – Google Drive

select kernel_11 OR kernel_12 (i have Android 11, i use kernel_11).

Reboot to System

"Unfortunately Magisk says "patch file". Which file? patched-AP is already flashed with Odin." (<--- my question to ivan)

extract boot.img from lineageos.zip, copy to Phone, let Magisk patch this file, boot to TWRP and flash this magisk-patched-boot.img to boot

reboot and look in magisk: now magisk says "installed (version)". (i use Magisk 23.0)

That was a bit longer way. But it works! At least for me.

Very important is "timing"! What good is a manual that was written a year ago? Samsung makes more and more "improvements".

The "modder scene" brings new helps with time.

Now I have a s10e with Magisk and TWRP and LOS 18.1 (tentatively previously installed a LOS 19.1 which is based on 18.1. I do not like it!)

Important: the TWRP is now up to date, vbmeta is in(against AVB!), and since I use lineage-18.1-20220120-nightly-beyond0lte-signed.zip the LOS-updater should be

the LOS-Updater should still bring the updates until the end of 18.1.

This all falls under "you can do - but you don't have to".

As always: everyone is responsible for what he does with his phone !!! YOUR Phone - your RISK !!!

you have question: i will answer as best i can

Edit: Mod: thanks for moving :)

Edit: error 28.02.2022

"Holy Moly" it won't be long now and the s10e will be subjected to a mechanical treatment with the sledgehammer!

Installed was Magisk 23.0 / this morning looked at Magisk: 24.0 available. So back to the beginning and used Magisk 24.0.

Just runs again Magisk on 24.0 new - 24.1 available. (wild Words!!!). Again back to intercept with Magisk 24.1

Who puts a T in the next word after "Edit;" is not so wrong. I have already flirted with a s10. Forget it. I hope very much that other manufacturers offer a handy (under 6"). Then it's over with Samsung.

Edit: error 30.01.2022

At the moment Magisk 24.1 is causing trouble. My eMail in K9 says "wrong certificate from t-online". This is not so with an Old-Phone with Magisk 23.0.

The s10e is switched off, replaced by an Old-Phone until Magisk runs stable again.

Edit: 05.02.2022 14:29 1 time did not pay attention during my experiments(Softwareupdater NOT deactivated) - now Android 12 is on it! At the moment the topic s10e is done for me. There are at least 30 hours of installation orgies in it. So much crap in one I never had so much crap in one device. I just got a Sony xperia 10 for testing. It now runs LOS 18.1, TWRP, Magisk 23.0. That was done within an hour.

Edit 09.03.2022 14:06 Next attempt (there is not much choice of max 6" in reasonable configuration).

Installed after https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/beyond0lte/install; just replaced LOS recovery with TWRP.

LOS from LineageOS Downloads

Plus Magisk 24.1 (let's see how I get along with Zygisk).

LOS is running, waiting for the next update. Otherwise everything as usual.

If the s10e is no longer supported by LOS itself (1..2 years ?) I try a "Build your owen ROM" [ByoR].

2 ByoR already done on other devices. PC upgraded to 32GB. With 16GB it also works, but takes "a little bit slow".

(I am not a developer - only an ambitious user).
