Depending on where you are, you likely will need to insert a SIM into the device to get it to appear and also maybe sign into Samsung Account and this also sometimes get s it to appear.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BofA:
I'm in UAE and I get my S24U from Samsung official store. I try to insert SIM, sign into my Samsung ang Google accounts, but still don't have OEM unlock option in developers menu(

patching AP is not working with magisk alpha it seems lol
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Ubimo:
I think the correct term is "OEM unlocking" in developer options?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BofA:
Yes, I understand. But this option is not there(
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ACiDC0re:
Yup, correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BofA:
I try all methods I found, change the date, turn updates on and off, sign in and out Samsung account, but still nothing
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Ubimo:
Did you reboot after signing into your Samsung account?

Did you set an unlock screen option, like unlock with pin or fingerprint?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BofA:
I try to set PIN and reboot, still no OEM unlock(

works perfectly as described in OP - thanks @dr.ketan
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] yin67:
I was wondering if someone could explain how to backup the EFS partition, just in case. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
System_RW ROM is now ready and under close group testing!

Seems all good to start with.

Stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] chloesviel:
Got my phone today and just wanted to say thank you, thanks to this it was very easy to root!

Worked perfectly fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
System_RW ROm under testing. It seems almost all features routinely available on my ROM are working fine

So far tested features.

Ad-Free, Play Intigrity Pass (GPay should work) , ROM Tool features, S Health, Secure Folder, 3Minit battery, 3minit Clock, Call Record

Waiting for more report from test users.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] germes81m:
rd.ketan thank you very much for your work. Today got my 928B and tomorrow will test root. tnx we will wait for your perfect rom too
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You don't needs to root if you want to flash my ROMas it will be Pre-Rooted.

In case you root (as said in OP of this thread) then you may able to flash my ROM dirty (Without needs to wipe data)

I am releasing first version soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I will update OP for more details for newbie as this method is working.

Also ROM discussion thread started, currently it's under final testing

SeLinux got broke after root. Permissiver doesnt works, denying play store + play services + magiskhide doesnt works do anyone got a workaround for that ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] zeroktal:
Root went smooth! I run KnoxPatch Enhancer, and Zygisk LSposed. Everything on my entire system seems to be working.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] zeroktal:
What exactly is broke that you are trying to do? can you post a screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SupFlynn:
I want to download netflix and ram truth but both isnt avaible because im not certificated i denied play store from magisk but still it doesnt works
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] zeroktal:
Ahh I see what you mean. I sideloaded it (Netflix) works like a champ even without MagiskHide.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
SafetyNet should be pass. Then clear play store data and wait little till play store shows certified device. Nothing required to add in hide list for this
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Here without any app added in enforce diny list
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SupFlynn:
I flashed the firmware that you provided to my B device i wonder is there anything with that?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you guys don't want to do all patches yourself, I'd suggest you to go with custom ROM which have everything built-in in one go including root
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Does custom ROM apply to other variants(SM-S9280) or only SM-S928B?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Currently custom ROM applies to S928B only but in future I may add support depending on number of users.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tr0ji:
Hello, I'm still kind of new to android phones. My first android was an S22 Ultra that I rooted. Just received my S24 Ultra. Is your custom ROM advised for someone somewhat new to android?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, it's as easy as flashing stock firmware. Before flashing go through installation guide & changelog post of ROM. Let us know if any queries
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] JOSHSKORN:
From the OP...

Was this a typo or does this not apply to the S24Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Sorry it was typo. Corrected.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] JOSHSKORN:
Thank you for clearing that up, I'll be considering rooting my phone when it arrives. Samsung is telling me Feb. 21, my mom already got her phone, different color (I guess no one by comparison wanted it). I haven't rooted since having a Note 4 and the only thing I found it useful for was Viper4Android. The streaming quality of Android Auto Wireless to my DMX907S is much better than my previous setup, which was "janky" but V4A made a huge difference in it. Basically tapedeck to Bluetooth converter, connected to my phone via bluetooth. I'd still hear the click as from a normal tape drive and some static.

So it may not be of any benefit for me but I'll look into it to see if it is. I don't use the services that would be disabled from unlocking the bootloader/rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
To be honest, in my point of view if you considering root only for Viper then I don't justify it.

Anyways, it's ultimately your call to decide.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tabstester77777:
Tell me some good reasons why would anyone wanna root their new S24 with all those downsides ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] fkofilee:
Simple - Adaway (Adblocking at system level rather than some VPN Workaround)

Flexibility to run shell commands and customise your device beyond its normal means. Some apps need root.

Swift Backups Bulk backup and restore! God Send!

As for Samsung based services like Wallet and Health - Google has their own which will work on your device plus use PIF to get them to function.

Lots more which I cant think off right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It's subjective. I like to add, If someone don't know why to root device, shouldn't root device.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] exocetdj:
i thought this was a rooting guide thread and not an emotional support thread for those that have a deep attachment for samsung pay/pass 🤪🤣 (just kidding BTW lol)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AltFantasy:
...but adblocking at system-level is probably something that's not that needed, right? Is it for skipping ads in mobile games? because I can't think of any applications for system-level adblocking other than what I've just said.

for the ability to tweak the device.... I don't really know, S24U is already very beautiful, very lovely. You can just use Good Lock, UniversalDebloater, etc... and be done with it, what root/LSposed modules would even allow you to tweak the UI of OneUI 6.1 or some deeper stuff or whatever anyway?

about Swift Backup and the like, yeah, I can definitely see a good use for them for many people, though definitely not for me. I always back up any files I've downloaded on my phone into my PC, or upload them to Google Drive and the like, and as for the apps, I can barely give ****s, since their data is stored in my Google account - they'll automatically return once I log in, so...

for those service, agree 100%. Samsung's services are quite bad anyway - there definitely are better alternatives, FOSS or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] fkofilee:
All I can say to people is this. Some people need root, some people don't know what it is. Some people know what root is but don't want to go through the hassle.

All depends on circumstances and requirements. 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
Can the AP file be patched with magisk or magisk still broken on the S24?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I've seen a few posts from people who do not have the option to unlock their bootloader (OEM Unlock) does anyone have reliable information on why this setting is missing? Mine is also missing which is strange to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
It might show up in a few days
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Pete.Spencer:
Did you have a source of the report?

I also would like to root it as usual.^^
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Anyone with other variants (except SM-S928B) successfully root by magisk patching Ap?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Pete.Spencer:
I am going to try it today with normal S24 SM-S921B and will report the outcome. In worst-case I need to wait for a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] yin67:
Anyone knows what is broken exactly on the magisk AP patching process in S24 ultra ?

I have a OnePlus 8 pro with 26400 magisk app installed. I tried to patch the original AP file on the first post and it went without error. The file size is exactly the same as the one patched on the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
Anyone tested latest magisk on exynos s24?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Try yourself and if that doesn't work let me know, I will provide root files for your device
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
I still await both a exynos and a snapdragon S24 (small version). Will root both :)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Any user want to root S921B (S24 base) + Remove Warning text, let me know)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] yin67:
As it is stated in the first post regarding flashing instructions, and just to be sure, I have to flash patched AP together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the firmware files downloaded with Frija.

Is this right?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you are coming from Stock then you can use CSC or HOME_CSC is doesn't matter as wipe data is mandatory (CSC will auto wipe, Home_CSC you needs to wipe manually), If already rooted and want to update firmware, needs Home_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
So, any success in rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If none of you S24 guys want to test then don't expect much development.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
Do not have the S24 yet
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PFusion:
Does rooting work for the Galaxy s24 Ultra (U.S) variant?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Pete.Spencer:
I will try it at the weekend. Were very busy today. I am interested in using your rom for S24. But if just a few people want that rom, then I'm afraid you won't support it for long.

I will report the outcome tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CrazyIvan:
Doesn't look like it. The first post specifically says:

That is the European model. US version is SM-S928U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PFusion:
Ahh thank you souch for the clarification!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PFusion:
What about a unlocked International version?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PFusion:
@dr.ketan Yes I will try. To clarify you mean for me to try rooting S24 Ultra U.S unlocked variant?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] CrazyIvan:
No.

US variant is S928U1, not S921B, which is the Euro base S24 (not + model or ultra).
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PFusion:
Thank you for the clarification.

HELLO OUT OF TOPIC..

I HAVE AN HK VARIANT SM-S9280 S24 ULTRA..

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
@dr.ketan Can you provide Sm-s9280 magisk patched file for us? It kept crashing while patching with magisk and we can't flash your rom either. Thanks. Or tell me how to patch boot file，then I can do it myself. If you can make Sm-s9280 rom for us ，it will be so great.

No.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jazsmith696:
HEY brother? your also SM-S9280 ? can you show me screenshot of you SIGNAL ICONS?? also showing the 4G/5G icons even we are not using it? do we have a way to remove the 4G icons when NOT USING mobile data
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
at this moment I only use wifi . yes it show signal bars
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
@donkeyman1234 Try this to root S9280ZHU1AWM9
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
@dr.ketan with .tar file I can root the device, however the wifi , blue tooth toggle cant function at all(I can't turn on wifi and bluetooth). Any reason why?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Weird. Can you show me magisk module you have installed. Try disabling all and see
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
I have not install any modules yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
I have to insert sim-card to update the magisk because no wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I don't see any reason why this happening. Let's have a more report to confirm

Are you sure files you have send was correct and from S9280 only
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
flash back to stock firmware, wifi works again.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
@dr.ketan I use alpha to patch boot.img & init_boot.img , then it works. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This is same thing i did. One thing I needed to mention, zip you have send was giving error extracting file then I did it with 7zip standard, No idea if file I have received was corrupt.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] plshelprootmysamsungphone:
How do you flash via odin the tar file? Do you just put it in AP while leaving BL/CP/CSC blank? This crashes my S928B and makes it unable to boot and I need to factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] yin67:
You always flash with all the slots filled otherwise it may shrink some partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This applies when you flash stock patched AP not root files what I have provided.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] fkofilee:
Turn off Auto Reboot in Odin before Flash

Then when the flash is done, hold Vol Down and power button for 7 secs, then flip to power button and vol up when screen turns off. You need to force the device to wipe for the 1st time when rooting, if it boots into recovery, and offers the option to erase, you have done it right :)

Factory Reset it - Then allow it to boot up and install Magisk and allow it to go through its processes :)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] plshelprootmysamsungphone:
Thank you so much, root access was granted! For future reference:

Flash just the magisk file in the AP slot

Turn off auto reboot in Odin and make sure to reboot into recovery mode

Force the device to wipe data/factory reset

Reboot phone and set up normally

Reinstall magisk

Direct install magisk (one final reboot)

Verify with

adb shell su

This is for S928B.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] XakFak:
Hi there. Can you plz share system/media folder. Just zip it share Much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] renek11:
I used to root phones too, but that time is gone now, so I would seriously like to ask, what is the benefit of root today?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I see this question asked sometimes. Why did you used to root phones before but not now?

Personally, I like to tinker with my phone, that's the bottom line. Some tinkering requires full access to the phones root, files, hardware, settings etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] renek11:
Yes , I understand that, but I think nowadays those phones are so optimized that you can set up very many things without having to root. For example, can you write for yourself specifically what it is that makes it dirty for you, without which you would otherwise not be able to or would not want to use the phone or would miss it?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
You are spot on. There's so much we can do with our phones now that rooting is not needed for most people.

I could definitely use my phone 100% stock with hardly any built in personalisation or customisations but the devil in me loves to edit, modify and tinker with phones, pc's, motorbikes, cars, tv's and all sorts of other machines and devices :D it's a curse!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] plshelprootmysamsungphone:
Is there a way to modify SELinux using this patch? I'm unable to run "setenforce 0" when I use "adb shell su". I get "setenforce: Couldn't set enforcing status to 'permissive': Invalid argument",
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dennis9:
boot.img.lz4 and init_boot.img.lz4 patched with Magisk 27.0. Apparently rooted successfully.

safetynet works quickly.

LSPopsed and modules work.

Adaway works.

Which does not work

Root Explorer app, renaming and deleting system files /system/app etc doesn't work! That's actually the most important thing to me.

According to Magisk, BuildProp Editor has root rights but does not allow modification.

Write permissions appear to be missing.

Is there a solution for this? It would be very important to me that it works.

TitaniumBackup no root. SwiftBackup works flawlessly.

(G Translation)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
May be you're not updated to latest samsung devices. Since S22 system is RO and since S23 it is erofs too. you can't modify it with just stock rooted. You needs to convert partition to F2FS & RW, easiest way is to use ROM with System-RW if you don't know how to make it RW.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] plshelprootmysamsungphone:
On the S24 how would we get SELinux to allow us to run "setenforce 0" in adb shell?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Requires custom kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cokeman2010:
Does anyone know where or when can we get a TWRP for S24 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] devaponnadsm:

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dennis9:
I would like to remove the warning text when booting.

Can you help me Dr. Ketan?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
You still can't root the US/North American (U and U1) models. The bootloader is still locked down.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tekkneke:
Understood that the BL is locked, but as someone who is new to Samsung, is this something that is being worked on and would a user eventually expect the BL lock to be defeated?

Or I suppose another way to phrase the question is if previous series like the US carrier locked S22 or S23 ultra were ever BL unlocked? Even if it is a pay service to unlock, I'd really like to eventually be able to unlock it.

Edit -- Never mind, I see that nothing has changed from the old perception I've always had with Samsung devices, which is that they work very hard to keep the bootloader locked. Been awhile since I've bought a carrier locked device at all, so I was hoping this might have changed.

Oh well, good thing that 2024 devices have come a long way in terms of non-root solutions for many problems out there. Viper audio is probably the only thing I really can't live without... gonna have to see what I can dig up there.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] chrisz5z:
Only thing you can do is buy the international S24U SM-S928B. It works fine on American carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
It's not a Samsung thing about the BL. It is a US/North American carrier requirement. Like @chrisz5z said. If want to root, you'll have to get the non-US/North American S24 Ultra.

I remember rooting my Galaxy Fascinate (the Verizon version of the Galaxy S) and later the Galaxy Nexus. The latter was to be able to use Google Wallet and USB tethering. Every time Verizon pushed out an OTA, I had to re-root my phone to get those functions back.

Back then Verizon was being a turd and locking everything down; like NFC tap to pay, GPS, and USB tethering. Since, then Verizon got kicked in the balls by the FCC and FTC.

Now-a-days, the majority of people don't need nor want to root. We don't have to root to use the built in functions of the phone (i.e. GPS, NFC tap to pay, tethering). We even have features we didn't have 12 years ago that also don't require rooting.

For things like changing the CSC, you don't even need to root. If there are certain apps that require root permissions that you actually NEED (not want). Then I can understand rooting.

But it is not Samsung's fault that the U and U1 models BLs can't be unlocked. That was a requirement put on them by US/North American carriers. If Samsung really didn't want people to root its devices, it would make it so ALL of its models were not able to be rooted regardless of model and region. It's actually it makes it more expensive for Samsung to produce the US/North American (U and U1) models. Because, the assembly line has to be stopped and "retooled" in a sense to produce those versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Kimmy96:
How do you install S24 ultra exclusive interactive wallpapers to normal S24 without any rooting? Is that even possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] leonkf1:
to unlock the bootloader you need to restart your phone after activating oem, to bootloader and then you will have the option to unlock it!

good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
So magisk v27 can root the S24?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Try and let us know. If that disn't work, I'll update the guide how to prepare root files yourself if patching AP file gives error.

Even Magisk 26 working fine to root S24 issue was with patching whole file just.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dennis_020:
I'm trying to patch the new released firmware (S928BXXU1AXB5) but magisk crashes immediately
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
Ok, will try with the rom i built with crb.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dosdoktor:
Which file from the AP is needed to root? I see the AP you provided is only 21MB, did you do any decryption on the files? I see your file only has the boot.img, init_boot.img, vbmeta.img.lz4 *UPDATE* New Version available / rooted files for S928BXXU1AXB5 aka the February Vividness update. No one is liable if the phone's alarm doesn't ring next morning and you get fired from your JOB. Here is a stock file+rooted file. If the rooted file (which I just made and tested) does not work (you do not get root, but somehow your kernel still boots), load the stock file into Magisk and patch it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Only init_boot should fine too, though I recomemnd to add vbmeta as well
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dosdoktor:
Guide here:

Download the new firmware with Frija, after it decrypts,

Extract the AP file, then take out the files boot.img.lz4, init_boot.img.lz4 and vbmeta*.img.lz4.

Create a new blank tar file using 7-zip, it has to be UTF-8 encoding, GNU-ASCII (pretty sure it's set by default).

Add the 3 files in it, check the size, should not be much bigger than 20-25MB.

Copy the tar file to the phone's internal storage and patch it, should result in a file between 100-110MB.

Flash with ODIN, if phone refuses to boot, flash the stock file.
