[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
Hi everyone sorry for the truble and probably the bad english this is not my main language .

I have an old Samsung s7 with android 8.0 that i wanted to root with magisk.

I first tried with twrp but i don't know why i couldn't "install" it, when flashing with odin it failed and made my phone go in like"emergency recovery mode ".

Next i tried without TWRP which i founded is the recommended method.

I did everything the guides i found said but when i am flashing the patched boot.img after the phone boot and i open magisk it isn't installed.

Ramdisk went from yes to no.

I don't know what to do i am sure i used the correct boot img. I transferred them via google driver in .tar maybe this broke something?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
please mention the exact steps, we don't have crystal ball.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
sorry,

I extracted boot.img from the ap file (it's the correct one i am sure because i used it to flash stock firmware).

Then i transferred the boot.img via google drive to the phone and used magisk to patch it, it said no error and everything worked fine . After that via google drive i brought back the patched file to the pc and used odin to flash it with BL CP HOME-CSC.

When i flash it with BL CP HOME-CS and the patched file the phone boot and ask me to go to factory reset i say yes, then after everything i reinstall magisk and ramdisk went from yes to no but it still says magisk not installed.

I don't know if i made myself clear
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
so I understood you enabled OEM unlocking, unlocked bootloader in download mode (what was factory resetting device) and after finishing initial welcome setup, you again ensured OEM is unlocked in developer settings. only then, you flashed Magisk, device is still working but Magisk provides no root, because ramdisk is gone.

What is the Samsung ROM version (for example G930FXXU8EVG3)?

What Magisk version you installed?

What options you set in Magisk before patching boot.img? Haven't used Magisk for a while, maybe no options have been asked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
i have enabled OEM unlocking but bootloader mode i don't have the option to activate it (in the passage before going to dowload mode) but the guide i looked said it wasn't needed if there wasn't the option.

I am using magisk 25.2 and they ask no option when patching .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
download platform-tools, enable usb-debugging, install ADB drivers, confirm 'adb devices' on phone and push the ROM to phone storage.

adb devices
adb push path\to\pc\AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 /sdcard/Download

uninstall Magisk and install older version Magisk-v24.2.apk

In case you want to use TWRP later, disable the encryption checkbox (only when asked) and disable avb/dm-verity checkbox (only when asked) in the options before patching (not sure these options exist though).

Device should have ramdisk, so do not enable the recovery option for now.

patch the whole AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 file with Magisk. notice the file name when finished.

copy the patched file back to PC and rename it AP_[device_model_sw_ver]_magisk_patched_boot.tar

adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.tar path\to\pc\AP_[device_model_sw_ver]_magisk_patched_boot.tar

flash the patched AP file together with BL CP CSC (will factory reset) and wait long time for first boot. finish the initial setup and install (older) Magisk apk again.

if rooting was successful, update Magisk from within the Magisk app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
i tried and did everything but when i try to flash with odin it crashes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
please understand I won't answer "please help" or "tried everything" posts. give more information. the patched firmware does not flash? or is that general odin issue?

edit: given instructions were straight from magisk documentation

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#instructions

except for using older Magisk. I forgot to tell you how to install. did you figure it out yourself?

In the Magisk-v24.2.apk, do not update to recent version (yet).

In the settings, select Update Channel: custom. then select Custom Channel, copy-paste this link.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/4868c83/beta.json

you can now patch the rom file with older Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
ok i managed to do every step you told me i patched the file with v24.2 of magik and falshed with odin, everything went fine. But there is still the same problem the app says that is not installed but ramdisk went from yes to no
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
You're more likely to get the help you need if you ask your question in the right place. We have a Galaxy S7 section. This is why Rule #1 is to search before posting! We will move your thread there.

An unlocked bootloader is absolutely necessary to root. Rooting means you're modifying images on the device; a locked bootloader will prevent flashing modified images. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, that's your first step.

I personally haven't had any luck patching the AP file in Magisk either. My suggestion is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, then flash Magisk in TWRP. Use the latest version of Magisk - 25.2.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
Hm.. then maybe it's true your device does not have boot ramdisk? or the patching failed and removed ramdisk somehow?

try again with "Recovery Mode" option enabled when patching. note you have to press the volume button for recovery mode each time you boot.

@V0latyle recent versions of Magisk running Zygisk may have incompatibilities

https://xdaforums.com/t/zygisk-cann...ices-with-old-kernel-3-19-s7-included.4447029

Magisk-v23.0.apk is last version without Zygisk (but afaik you still can disable Zygisk in recent Magisk).

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/afe2c30/stable.json
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Zygisk is disabled by default, you have to manually enable it when setting up Magisk after root
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
OEM unlocking should be like the boot loader.

i tried using TWRP and i followed this video doing all the steps

but after the final reboot magisk app is not there and if i try to install it manually it's the same as the immage i already posted.

I found out searching online that after root ramdisk should go from yes to no and that worked. But i don't know why it never says that's installed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
It seems like you misunderstand several critical concepts.

First, OEM unlocking DOES NOT unlock the bootloader itself. It simply allows you to. After enabling OEM unlocking, you have to follow the process to boot the device into unlock mode, then you have to follow the prompts to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe the device.

Second, the Ramdisk indication in Magisk simply indicates whether or not the device has ramdisk. This does not change, regardless of whether or not the boot image or system has been patched with Magisk. The only thing you need to look for is Installed: <Magisk version>. If Installed: N/A then you do not have root.

All you need to do is install TWRP, and if you're going to be using the factory firmware, flash the Multidisabler. Then, install Magisk through TWRP. When you reboot to system, you should have root; you'll need to install the Magisk app, but once you do, you should see the version of Magisk next to Installed as described above.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
@V0latyle I think paoloooooo is right (see his screenshot) and bootloader is unlocked (otherwise phone wouldn't boot after flashing magisk_patched.tar)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
I thought a locked bootloader will prevent flashing anything custom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
right. but afaik it's possible to flash on semi-locked bootloader after the OEM toggle was enabled, but vaultkeeper still armed. at least that is the mistake you're refering to, many people struggle with...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paoloooooo:
guys thanks for everything i literally don't know why but i tried one last time with patching immages and it had the same error as the immages.

2 days after, i looked into it again and i don't know how but magisk was installed.

Thanks for everything and sorry choosing wrong section and not being very explicative.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Yeah, it would seem that a user would have to do things one of two ways:

Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, IMMEDIATELY boot into recovery (do not allow boot to system), wipe /system and format /data, install custom OS...this should prevent KG from interfering

Unlock bootloader, flash multidisabler, wipe data, boot to system, connect to Internet, ensure OEM Unlocking toggle is still visible, if it is KG should be disabled

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] remoxxl:
It appears I'm encountering a similar issue with my Redmi Note 13, a recent release from September 2023. After unlocking the bootloader, downloading the latest ROM, extracting the payload.bin, and using a payload dumper to obtain the boot image file, I patched it and flashed it successfully. However, upon rebooting, the phone indicated "boot_b," indicating it has A/B (Dynamic Partitions), yet root access was not present.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Thebacklash:
I bought my Note 20 Ultra when I still was using my iPhone as my main phone (I'm on AT&T) I switched to the Note last year and never really noticed it has *never* updated at all.

Just bought a Galaxy Tab S8 and realized the Note has not updated since Aug 2021.

I have been trying to figure out how to update the phone for about 2 weeks now, there is no option to check for an update at all. There is however a "Software Update" under the Battery and Device care option in settings.. but pressing it does nothing.

I went to AT&T last week and they are completely stumped. The guy helping me has the exact same phone and he has the update option where it should be and is running the latest Android 12 that AT&T pushed out. He gave me a 1-800 number to call for "advanced" support but i know they will say wipe the phone as their first "fix" and i'd rather not do that yet.

He checked my account, all my settings on their end and in my phone and has no clue whats going on.

Has anyone come across this? any ideas how to force an update?

I did download the Smart switch app for my computer from Samsung to check for an update (read that it can check for updates) and nothing.

presumably you cant get a verbose output during that 100% progress bar (is that kernel start up or init?).

Hello,

I've add a 256GB SD card on my Fire HD 10, and I set it as portable storage.

My SD card is a Sandisk micro SDXC UHS-I (V30 3U A2).

All time I logon on my Fire HD, FireOS shows me the settings page "How you will use this storage device".

Is it a known FireOS bug?

Or, do you think my SD card is defective?

SD card in Portable storage mode comes with data robed risk if I lost my Fire HD.

Thus I'd like to encrypt SD card data.

FireOS offer Encryption feature in settings.

Does someone have experience with it?

If I set this SC card as "tablet storage", does data will be able to be readable from another device?

Thanks a lot for your help and advices :)

Chris
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
If the SD card is not properly formatted as FAT32 or exFAT (or wrong alignment) Android will offer to format.

If you format as portable storage the SD card is not encrypted (recommended). If you remove the SD Card you can read it on card reader on PC later.

If you format as adoptable storage the SD card becomes encrypted and will replace the internal storage (which becomes unused). This is not recommended as the encryption key is inaccessible to nobody, therefore no way to recover data in case of failure.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrbar:
Thank you alecxs.

In this case, all data on SD card will be readable by anyone if I lost my pad.

Is there a way to encrypt data on a SD card formated as portable storage?

Thanks,

Chris
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaacksheep:
I think the only way to do what you're after is with a 3rd party tool to encrypt your SD card. I suppose that's possible, but performance may be sluggish that way.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
if you downgrade to Fire OS 5.6.4.0 you can use mtk-su to access the encryption key from /data/misc/vold once. this key can be used on linux PC to decrypt adoptable storage (except for FBE file-based encryption)

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-decrypt-and-split-adopted-storage.3383666

(obviously) all other 3rd party solutions require similar additional software to decrypt container stored on portable storage.

[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Dav_Daddy:
Hello I have an LG V35 that I absolutely love. This has been one of the best phones I've owned. The screen is nearly unbreakable, I've dropped this thing on concrete more times than I can count, I've dropped wrenches and sockets directly on it while working on the car more times than I can count. -- hyperbole I can count between 1/2 dozen to a dozen but the point still stands --

Now around 6 months ago my main microphone upped and quit working. However if I switched to speakerphone the Mic would work perfectly. A minor inconvenience. Just the other day I received a call and the speakerphone Mic no longer works either?

Now I'm thinking hardware issue, but before I tear this thing apart I figured I'd check with experts here. Lord knows I've made that mistake in the past! So I'd really like to know.

1. It appears the USB-C charging port and at least 1 Mic are both on the same module? That would track because I've had some issues with fast charging for a while now.

2. Are there 2 distinct separate microphones in different locations or are they both on the same module?

3. Is there any chance this isn't a hardware failure?

I'd greatly appreciate any advice. I have a hard time finding a phone I can live with so I plan to at least take a stab at saving this one.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] cmrntnnr:
I definitely agree with you about the V35. It continues to perform really well even after four years. Indeed, it is sad that no other phone has come along to match it and that is appealing as an upgrade. I'm in no hurry.

About your speaker problem, you might consider replacing it altogether. There are pristine ULM units available from Amazon for about 185 USD.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Dav_Daddy:
Update! I fixed it! I was about to pull the trigger and buy a new mic module I decided to do a little more troubleshooting.

When I ran my voice recording program still nothing, however I noticed when I tapped on the bottom of the phone with my fingernail there was a very slight sound recorded. Now it's been my experience that when there is a hardware failure on a phone it fails completely not partway like old analog devices were prone to.

So inspected the bottom very carefully and found that what I had been cleaning wasn't the opening for the microphone but actually for the speaker! There is a teeny tiny hole on both the bottom & top where the mic is located. I would up skinning the plastic off of a twist tie and very carefully cleaned that hole out of all the junk in there. I use my phone while working on vehicles a lot and what I pulled out looked like bearing grease of similar.

After the clean out it works like a champ! :) :D
