[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Kisaen:
Hello, This is a work in progress guide to help you with rooting your phone for whatever reason (i root it to use the Automate app as i am lazy)

I hope this is not a total mess, i will edit this if you have too much trouble reading

I did this on the GALAXY A53 5G phone with :

• Build ver. SP1A.210812.016.A536BXXU1AVCC

• One UI 4.1

• Android Version 12

The following is needed in order to speedrun this :

+MAGISK25.1

+LZ4

+ODIN3.14

+YOUR BOOT.IMG (FROM THE AP_ FILE OF THE FIRMWARE)

1) On your phone go to Settings -> About phone

2) Then -> Software info

3) Check at (the 6th line) ; BUILD Versionfor me it was:

SP1A.210812.016.A536BXXU1AVCC

4) You will have to download yours at sammobile or any other website you trust more : (needs an account but then is free to download)

Then when you have you files , the one that matters is the one starting with AP_

5) extract the boot.img.lz4

6) download one of the versions of LZ4 from : https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases

7) extract all files into a folder

8) drag and drop the extracted file from part 5) INTO the .exe file from part 7)

YOU HAVE YOUR BOOT.IMG

9) Now drag and drop this Boot.img INTO your phone

The version 25.1 of Magisk (or above is needed ? as i used that version of magisk to root my phone i guess)

10) Install it on your A53 you can download it from :

Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk

github.com

11) inside the app, click on INSTALL (written in blue on top right)

12) select the only option

13) go to the boot.img (that you dropped into your phone at part 9)

14) wait

15) when it is done, plug your phone again if you unplugged it and drop the new file generated by MAGISK into your computer and rename it boot.img.tar

Unlock the bootloader of your phone by either ;

• Watch a tutorial it helped me understand why i kept having an error while doing the next steps (i "unlocked" OEM only within dev options, that wasn't enough)

and skip to 22)

• Or follow these steps

on your A53 go developper mode by clicking 7-10 times on the VERSION in settings -> about phone -> Software

turn on the switch for OEM unlocking (wifi must be connected if the button doesnt appear)

and i am not sure if we need to but , turn on the switch for USB DEBUGGING as well (for adb)

16) stay pressed on both VOL UP + VOL DOWN

17) plug your phone to computer

18) wait

19) long press VOL UP

20) wait

21) press VOL UP

ez

So now get ODIN 3.14 on ur computer

I got the official website but cant remember where from, i will look into it, maybe you can find it on google but be carefull of malicious ones i swear !

(if you are kind enough you will share it below ♥)

22)after launching ODIN

23)The on the AP button put your boot.img.tar file that you got from part 15)

24) on your A53 go developper mode by clicking 7-10 times on the VERSION in settings -> about phone -> Software

25) check that you wave wifi connected

26) go to dev options and check if OEM unlock is grey'd out

30) turn OFF your A53 phone

wait for it to BZZZZZZZZ (viber)

31)STAY PRESSED onto the 2 buttons VOL UP + POWER

on recovery choose the 2nd option with your volume keys, "reboot to bootloader"

then if odin recognise the phone press start
