I think.
Due to the similarity of the a300, would it work too, or fail because of the screen-resolution?

CF-Auto-Root is no more working to root Samsung A8 after latest Marshmallow update. So here I'll tell you another way to root your A800F or A800I. Also I'll tell you how to install TWRP and Install Xposed. Is little bit complicated but this works.
Code:

Prerequisite :
On PC
USB Driver
Odin
Minimal ADB
TWRP Recovery
[*]On Phone Storage
SuperSU
Xposed Installer apk
Xposed SDK
DOWNLOAD LINKS BELOW
Steps
Download all files in a folder and install USB Driver (Skip if already installed). Extract Minimal ADB. Save SuperSU zip on your phone's storage.
Enable developer option on phone ( Tap “Build number” seven times to enable Developer option ).
Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging under developer option.
Put phone in download mode ( Hold vol down + home + power key to reboot to download mode )
Open ODIN on your computer. Connect your phone to your computer while your phone is in the Download Mode.If your phone is connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number.
Now select the recovery file that you have to flash/install on your phone. Click on ‘PDA’ / ‘AP’ and select the file ‘recovery.tar’. (In ODIN, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options, if not already.) Now click on the Start button in ODIN. Installation process will start and would take a few minutes to complete. After the installation is completed, your phone will reboot normally.
Next you have to launch the ADB drivers file. Launch command.bat file from the ADB folder and give the first command to check whether the device is successfully connected to PC or not. A popup will open in your phone. tap allow.
Code:
adb devices
Enter another command to reboot your device into recovery:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Now you are on TWRP recovery. Click on Install and select SuperSU file that you downloaded on your phone in step 1. and flash.
Flash Xposed SDK too if you want to use Xposed framework
You will get bootloop first time. Its normal. And first boot may take about 10 mins. You don't have to worry. After reboot install Xposed installer to use Xposed.
Done :laugh:
Notes
Do not reboot to TWRP recovery using key combinations. Use any rebooter app to reboot to recovery.
This way is enforcing not permissive. I am searching for permissive. I'll update.
This method works on latest stock firmware.

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or TWRP3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able.

Let’s start with the installation process
First you need to unlock your bootloader. You can do so by enabling developer settings first, enable oem unlocking, then shut down your phone, hold volume up and down at the same time and while holding them plugin your charger. Your phone now should show a green screen with instructions to unlock the bootloader. Just follow them and after the unlocking your data should get wiped. After that your device will boot up and land in setup screen. Do not setup anything, just skip as much as possible, because your phone will get wiped again. Enable developer settings and make sure oem unlocking is greyed out and enabled. (If it does not show up, connect to a network first!)
Now you need to overwrite vbmeta partition, so you can flash third party partitions. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar then go into download mode on your device. Put vbmeta_disabled.tar to userdata in Odin, click start. This should finish pretty quickly, so pay attention when your device reboots, because you need to boot into recovery (Hold power and volume up after the screen turns black). When booted into recovery, wipe your data and reboot normally into system. Now you can setup your phone as usual and make sure oem unlocking is still greyed out and enabled!
Time to flash recovery. Download (link is at the end of this post). . In Odin put the tar file in AP and simply hit start. Congrats you now have TWRP installed!

I followed your steps to no avail. First try, twrp didn't even boot up completely as it was stuck in the twrp logo screen. My second attempt was wiping data first using the stock recovery, then flashing twrp. Twrp booted up and I was happy as heck, but the touchscreen was unresponsive. I've completely set up my phone again after giving up. I wouldn't mind losing all my data again just to gain root, but I don't want to lose it for nothing
Now it just doesn't load further than the logo! !(

Thanks, man! This finally worked. Any way I can donate to you or something like buy you a beer or what
Is anything working? Decryption? Back-up? Restore?
I have saw the a70 page and it included many custom roms. Is it easy to port it over to the a80? I really want lineage os on my phone. Thanks
(I have an SM-A8050)
@blackbuga ; how about detail explaining about sg7 firmware how can we get it? what about give us step by step way of unlocking until flash twrp within provided link donwload files we needed, & last could u gv us stock recovery img for emergency used while we faced some trouble like bootloop or something else we dont expected. so we dont needed to flash whole firmware stock & make us felt safety & shortcut the time of we got trouble. thx for great works
Hello blackbuga,
I recently installed your unofficial TWRP-build for the A80.
I want to let you know that it is impossible to flash ROMs successfully. I am a TouchWiz developer since 2016 and I wanted to continue with OneUI.
So, I was porting the A71 firmware, but it didn't let me install the zip. It ended with the Error 7.
Here's a part of the log:
" -- Setting ROM Permissions
ApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/system/usr/srec/en-US/wordlist.syms to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
ApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/system/usr/srec/en-US/wordlist.syms to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 "
It seems like it's a problem of the recovery. I hope to get an answer from you.
Greetings

Reboot into TWRP AS SOON AS THE FLASHING PROCESS IS DONE because otherwise TWRP will get replaced with the stock Android recovery
If you want to flash a GSI, skip to step 7

Wipe everything in TWRP excluding SD Card / USB OTG
Put a GSI image file onto an SD Card, alongside GSI_Fix_boot.zip and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
Flash the GSI image, flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip, flash GSI_Fix_boot.zip, wipe cache and reboot.

Hey thanks for this, I´ve got a few questions about the process that might also help others.
Do you recommend this method of rooting still over the new method using Magisk?
Do we still need to wipe everything in TWRP after first boot? And what specifically steps should we take to wipe?
Can you recommend any specific GSI images that are known to boot on the A20e (A202F) because so far I've tried LineageOS 17.1 / AOSP system -quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img and system -quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img / Crdroid and nothing gets past the loading icon.
Do we still need to flash Disable_Verity_ForceEncrypt and GSI_Fix_boot.zip if not installing a GSI ?
a few notes
for anyone else. It helps if you boot into the rom and install magisk manager via APK (recent version is fine) before installing it via TWRP. After I did that rooting worked properly.
Lost ADB for some reason though, might be unrelated.
I also think that the a20e (SM-a202f) is an A device and not an A/B partition device at least according to treble check app.
ADB and USB connection / USB OTG does not work

1. This method does use Magisk
The tar file contains boot.img patched with Magisk
It also contains recovery.img and vbmeta.img
2. The boot.img is from Android 10 firmware so you need to upgrade to Q first.
3 there is a step missing in the instructions
It should say
6. Reboot the A20e into TWRP and mount everything you can.
Click Wipe then Format Data (not just wipe) - don't restart
Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt
Reboot to recovery and wipe both caches
Reboot system .

Already have, and LOS 17.1 and AOSP system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla
all of them got stuck at boot icon for an hour. Thats why I went back to stock.
I'm more interested in why I cannot seem to install discord or firefox from the app store, or whatsapp cannot download images.

Tried it, no change, there's no apps misbehaving, just strange sd storage card behaviour
Is the SM-A202F/DS supported by these methods, I noticed in some other threads it wasn't working back in March, that's the unit I have.

as of now, no use of flashing twrp as there are no proper custom rom, but inorder to put this ur phone should be unlocked, to do that follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-eu-rom-and-root-guide-with-magisk.4338671/

Kinda... i booted the twrp-recovery bootimage by using
fastboot boot twrp.img
that brought me back to twrp and restored touchscreen-control. In twrp i formatted the device and completely wiped all partitions, so i would have a clean install. After all that was done i returned to bootloader and used the fastboot-image to clean-flash everything. I wanted to do this anyways, so no biggy.
It's still okay to use it, but installing it on the device as permanent recovery doesn't work as long as the touchscreen doesn't work at all.. but when this is fixed, go for it.
already did all of it...

to just run this twrp, u can boot your device to bootloader, open terminal or powershell, and use command
fastboot boot twrp*.img
this will boot your twrp recovery,
as mentioned by @SanHelios there seems to be a small bug when u r flashing it permanently as recovery,
and the dev already got a fix for the same, he will mostly update the links tomorrow, i tested and it was working,
this is the file he provided, link, @SanHelios test this mate
download the above file,
use fastboot boot twrp*.img, and go to advance, and click on flash current twrp,
it will patch your boot.img file and flash the patched boot.img with twrp recovery
use volume up and power button combo to boot into twrp

TWRP is a well-rounded recovery for android-devices. There's a lot it can do, but basicly, you use it to flash/install software or images on your device. If there is a custom rom you wanna use, you flash it via TWRP, since the stock roms-recoveries only flash/install their associated roms. Apart from that, you can wipe or format your device, so it will be "clean" if you want to make a fresh installation.
In the past it was simple to install it, because devices were mostly A-only devices with a dedicated "recovery"-partition. To install it, the most common way was
- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB
- open computer CLI/Shell-window
- "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - Enter
The Mi Mix 4 is an A/B-Device, which means that the vital partitions are doubled and there's no "recovery"-partition anymore, since all recovery-functions are parked in a different partition. TWRP offers the ability to install itsself according to the A/B-Partitions-scheme and therefore becoming the new System-Recovery. Here the installation-steps are different.
- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB
- open computer CLI/shell-Windows
- "fastboot boot twrp.img" - Enter <- Starts the system using the image
- Touch Advanced
- Touch "Flash Current TWRP"
If a custom rom ever becomes available, there's certain routine you want to do...
backup vital information and files
format device
wipe all partitions
flash Firmware required
flash rom
flash Google Apps i.e. Open Gapps Project or NikGapps if available and desired
wipe dalvik-cache/cache/data
Enjoy

I'm not sure what this means. Does this mean I can't use the touchscreen in the TWRP interface? I don't have a mouse for mobile, only a mouse with standard USB (for laptop/PC).

i flash twrp recovery,I want to install recovery instead of twrp.
Is it possible to unlock bootloader without wiping your data?
I can easily backup my /storage/emulated/0, but if all data is wiped out, then I have to reinstall all the apps (which takes a ton of time) and save all my passwords again.
Hello
I think my phone is brick, does anyone have an ota ROM file (stock rom) to install?
Another question:
How can I install the tar.gz file on the HTC D20PRO phone! ??
