[SOLVED] Acclaim Patched Magisk - Tester needed - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Attached is a Magisk installer zip patched to work on Acclaim. I can only test that it does install properly; if someone that has the hardware could verify that it actually works, I'd be very grateful. Please be sure to not have another root zip installed, as it could effect the outcome. Thanks in advance to any takers.

So might this theoretically work on the Unlegacy AOSP ROMs? Do I need to go through first boot and then flash the zip or can I do all the flashing at once?

Yes, it should work and you don't need to go through first boot. I've had the best luck rebooting back into recovery after flashing the rom, then flashing Magisk.

Does this work on 16GB only or does this include 8GB version?

It should work on both, they run the same ROMs, only requirement is Lollipop+.
Edit: I'm making the assumption users know which ROMs accommodate the 512mb models. Obviously, the ROM needs to be functional for Magisk to work.

OK, no joy here. After waiting for a couple of hours to download a ROM (!) I finally put it all together. The system hangs at the "N" screen, never getting to the Cyanoboot screen. I tried this on an 8 GB tablet because I didn't want to mess majorly with my 16 GB one, but as you say, the result should be the same
BTW, there were no error messages I detected as the Magisk zip installed.

If you can, these three things might help to catch the problem:
TWRP log from after flashing Magisk(advanced->copy log)
A TWRP backup of your boot partition after flashing Magisk
A link to the ROM you tested

Sure. I've attached the log and boot backup below (I just zipped the boot backup folder). This is the ROM: https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-7.1/acclaim/ua_acclaim-7.1.2-20180215-0240.zip
Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I repacked the fix with the latest to fix a crash I see. The main problem I see is "- Magisk patched image detected", it thinks it's already patched so it skips it. I got this error with while testing on Ovation with an old TWRP3 SD recovery, please try rebooting back into recovery after flashing the rom if you haven't already (basically reloading TWRP between flashing the rom and Magisk, you do have to flash your rom again to restore the boot image).

Same behavior. I've attached the stuff you asked for before. And I did recycle through TWRP each time as you had suggested.

Your right, sorry, after testing again I can reproduce this error. Going to have a closer look, see if I can correct it. Thank you!

Ok, I found and fixed the bug. I was trying to check for acclaim by cmdline header, where it needs to check the name header. Should work now, and it doesn't seem to need the reboot. Thank you again!

OK, so I've got boot
But I did have to do the recycle of TWRP. The first time I tried it without and it threw out all kinds of red errors. Yipes!
Anyway, I now have questions as I'm no magiskan I read about Magisk before and even tried it on a similar ROM (to no avail, of course), but there are many things I don't fully understand.
1. It seems to want to update when I start Magisk Manager. Is that a good or bad idea, considering I'm working with a custom patch? Just say "no" or......?
2. I need to install an SU manager, yes? MM seems to indicate that it can't find any. Seems like I recall it was based on the phh su so can I just install the manager app for that? Is that what I need to effect "root" or do I already have it?
OK, scratch that second one. I just installed AdAway and it started up asking for root privleges which I was able to give it. But.....it keeps saying "copy failed" which would indicate to me that it does not have write access to where the hosts file is, so something's not "complete" about the root access?

Yes!
I'm thinking some partition fail is failing to mount after wiping to give the errors, using rm -f in TWRP settings might avoid it.
Yes you can download and install a Magisk Manager update if it asks, just not Magisk updates yet(has to say 'Manager').
With the root problem, I'd try rebooting or maybe clean installing and using AdAway on the first boot. Or try a Magisk module for it. Basically, just need to experiment to see how it behaves. If nothing helps, a logcat from adb might give an idea of what's going on.
Edit: Are you installing anything extra or taking extra steps apart from installing the ROM, Magisk, and AdAway? I'm trying to see if it is reproducible on Nook HD+ on equivalent firmware, but am having no luck so far.

Things are looking up I searched the AdAway issue and see there is a newer version that seems to solve the problem for people using Nougat ROMs (including someone running Magisk!). Worked like a charm. ES File Explorer seemed to have root access issues but I went into MM to see what the issue was and managed to manually turn on root access. Seems OK now.
As you say, part of this is getting used to it. I'm not seriously thinking this ROM is going to be good for the 8 GB tablet (for one thing I cannot tolerate the shutdown bug) but it's fun to see what's going on and try out this approach. Who knows? Someday there may be an Unlegacy AOSP 8.1 "mini-me" that will run (and maybe even shut down...) and I'll have the know-how to deal with it.
Thanks for your efforts. Sorry to have been a bit of a pain.

How do you install JMZ's kernal to the htc desire 610
I use clear d's root tool the first day he released it and it took about 3 times to get it to work. Now I wonder if the kernel installed???
I have the jz rar file still unpacked on my sd card...only reason I asked is because the op's question rung a bell. I uninstalled every piece of bloatware I could and my free space is curiously low.
Is there a way to verify it got installed? If not can I unpack the rar file on my phone or do I have to use the root tool again?

Look in settings, about, software information, more. Kernel version should say something like [email protected]*********#1 SMP PREEMPT. I can't tell you the exact name as I'm running my own modified version of his kernel for testing. If your are not running JMZ kernel it will be called something quite different.
MiniBlu
Thanks a lot for this. No. I do not have jmz's kernel!
I'm kind of confused. Supersu and twrp are present. I've used several apps that require root. So what exactly is going on?
The night I rooted (supposedly rooted) I'm pretty certain I asked if there was anyway to tell and I don't think I was informed about checking the kernel. That would've been easy. There's a chance it was updated I guess. AT&T was trying to push an update. I kept declining it but noticed it stopped asking. On other devices that usually means it was installed.
Any suggestions? Well I guess run the newer root tool then verify I have the kernel.
Thanks for the info, mini blu.

If yoy have root and can reboot to recovery thenyYou don't need to re-run the root tool. Just download JMZ kernel and flash it from TWRP.
MiniBlu
Thanks again. Can you clear up a couple of things for me?
1. If I have root then what exactly does the kernel do? I used to think it was essential.
2. When you say flash...all I need to do is boot into the boot loader screen, from there boot recovery, then when in twrp press install & select the kernel?
Do I need to connect to my pc?
Sorry. It's just for the past couple of months I thought I was all set but now there is clearly more to learn.

HI Klit75, in answer to above
1. Root(supersu) gives you access and control over which apps can run with root permissions, however the stock kernel has the /system partition write protected so any changes you or apps you install make to that partition are lost on reboot. JMZ kernel has this right protection removed which allows system customization's to remain after rebooting.
2. Everything you said here is right. No PC conecction required. Only thing is, it is sometimes tricky to get it to boot into boot loader so I have "android terminal emulator" installed from play store and run it then type
su
reboot recovery
this will reboot you straight to recovery. The above can also be done by connecting to the phone by adb and typing
adb reboot recovery
MiniBlu
ps before flashing the JMZ kernel I strongly recommend taking a TWRP backup (boot and system partitions will be enough) as JMZ kernel over-rights some modules on the system partition and it is always good to be able to go back if you have problems. Also after flashing the kernel select wipe dalvic and cache to avoid possible wifi issues.
Well I tried it. Got an error installing zip then I cleared dalvk cache and it went to "upgrading android upgrading so that seemed encouraging because that's what the root tool said was supposed to happen. But after reboot I still had the old kernel.
Thinking either the zip file I have doesn't work or I should have clicked the box to verify its signature. Gonna try again. Thanks a lot. Your info is extremely helpful.
UPDATE--Well I owe you a big thanks but not because it worked but for your advice to backup first.
As suspected, it didn't flash the first time because I clicked "verify signature" So this time it installed. I wiped dalvik and rebooted. I connected to WiFi and my first move was to come here & thank you. That's when my phone died.
It froze then turned off. I couldn't get it to turn on. I was able to get back to recovery with my pc and thankfully took your advice and restored from backup.
I'm obviously not an expert but I've jb ios devices, done softmods and I have rooted other android devices. This is the first time I've had trouble. 3 different root tools aren't getting the job done completely. Now my pc says "install unsuccessful"when it tries to get new HTC drivers. Is this due to an unlocked boot loader?
I was actually thinking this time it would work. Was there an update to the jmz kernel? Or did my phone possibly get an update the conflicts with the kernel? I'm not sure where I go from here
But I do appreciate your time. Now it makes sense why bloatware keeps returning and I still get notices of updates sometimes.
After regaining my composure...I got it working. There was a problem with Supersu binaries. I reinstalled it. Then reflashed jmz kernel. After wiping dalvik I rebooted. It's been working fine for an hour now.
I do have what I believe is the engineering image. The initial screen says it's just for developers but unless there's something nefarious there then I can live with it. Now I'd like to finally unload some of this bloatware. If anyone has any tips on what's safe to uninstall please share. Thanks.

How can I check if recovery is installed successfully? I could rollback to 309 and update with stock 310. Then I had to root and followed the instructions in the first post. Adb showed something with in and out, I rebooted and nothing seemed to have changed.
Wher I start with vol + It shows only reboot and factory reset.

If you're not booting into TWRP, then it probably didn't install.
Try using Flashify.
Great, I had to sideload Flashify apk and install it via adb install, then it worked , I could see the difference
Till now all seems great although the way to reach it is not described perfectly (as I normally have only to do with windows systems, too many steps I had to find out by myself and I never knew if the tablet will be still alive after the next step )
Pretty Good Work , thanks a lot for all your effort !!!!

The Amazon stock recovery should have a 'Factory Reset' option.
Have you tried that one? (WARNING: all your data will likely be gone; not sure if it helps with the OS, though...)
BTW, do you remember _how_ exactly messing up SafeStrap happened?
If you provide details, someone with a more intimate understanding of how SafeStrap works
may have an idea how you might go about getting your device back to life again.

Thank you for the detailed response.
Yes, I did install safestrap. I admit I did not fully understand what I was doing. I thought I would just wipe everything to have a clean system as we usually do for most devices. I wiped the system also which deleted the system rom.
Upon reboot it just sits at the grey kindle screen never booting past. I played around with the buttons and stumbled upon the power and vol+.
I got into Kindle system recovery and did the wipes but nothing boots up because I deleted the system os.
Would ADB work from the Kindle recovery screen?
Remember I have no OS on the device now.
Please let me know what to do now?
Where are the Kindle drivers for Win7 which has ADB driver for it. The problem is windows will not recognize the device I don't think.

well like a dumbA I tried to upgrade via rename bin to zip got to .2.4 lost any recovery and black screen.... I do have root and adb shell permission and it does boot ,charge etc. Just no display for most part like any launcher .. ( I still got super user prompt for ADB shell )...I also wiped data for all user and system apps via titanium backup not sure if that made black screen or not .... need to flash stock .2.4 recovery? To fix black screen? Or do I need to push a Specific file ? That of which I do not know the details of . Because I don't know which files would have been deleted by titanium backup . The device has been sitting for a few weeks now I figure it's time to get it up and running any help would be appreciated thanks

That's why I attempted to wipe the data for all the apps. So I can attempt to use flashify to restore stock recoveryI believe it was when I picked option in Titanium Backup to wipe all data for system and user apps. Not really because of the fact I did not have a functioning recovery. I do not believe because I had rebooted the serval times and still had a working system until I wiped the data. Maybe if I had a copy of the stock image recovery I could attempt to flash it then try that...? I did extract the .2.4 files but didn't spot recovery image

This is no different than any other device.
I thought the root for 4.5.2 and there's no root for 4.5.3 this is why I didn't update and disabled OTA. How can this method is for 4.5.3 only and it requires root? I think I miss something here. Please, help me to get it

CM12S Enable Built-in Root [New OTA: YNG1TAS17L]

Hi all,
Just want to help a bit with the CM12S. Flash the attached zip if you want root in apps and ADB.
I grabbed a debuggable boot.img from the official CM servers here:
Code:
http://builds.cyngn.com/cyanogen-os/bacon/12.0-YNG1TAS0YL-bacon/2263178b74/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL-bacon-boot-debuggable.img

Then, I simply put them in a flashable zip format together with su binary from the latest CM12 nightly. I have tested it on my own phone and so far, there is no issue.
I have only tested it using TWRP, flash on your own risk.

Note: I initially wasn't aware about the source of the base zip file that I used to pack the necessary files until julian_klode mentioned it in the Q&A thread.
There is no difference between this one and his, just the fact that I update mine manually. So, I think you should follow his thread instead.
Or just flash the SuperSu zip via recovery.

Outstriped! I was thinking to make Debug kernel, but they released it sooner
Thank you so much. Puzzle and Dragons doesn't like Supersu, but works perfect with CM's superuser.
works fine here, thanks!

Some people, like me, prefer CM's own root. Integration with Privacy Guard is pretty nifty, you know?

sorry for my noob question. but i actually flashed supersu. that wont affect anything. i am asking this cause yesterday i had to factory reset my device 4 times as it got stuck at cyanogen boot animation. It would boot fine couple of times and then get stuck.

I have never tried SuperSU in my OPO Lollipop since I found out about the built-in root support, so I can't say what's wrong with it. Bootloops may be caused by stuck up boot process, which may be caused by kernel.
If I'm not wrong, I remember last time when Lollipop launched that SuperSU need to patch the kernel in a certain way for it to run properly. My solution also works with a different kernel, albeit it is provided officially by Cyanogen.
If you really want SuperSU for some reason, you can try flashing SuperSU and then flash the boot.img from the link above (or extract it from my zip). Latest TWRP will do it just fine.

SuperSU plus CM root don't play well together. Take a look through Caulk's stock 5.0.2 thread and you'll see several people having problems - manifested by flashing SuperSU and then trying to open Developer Options. It FCs. Just use the built-in CM root or disable CM root before you flash SuperSU.
All good here! I went into the Supersu settings and did a FULL UNINSTALL OF ROOT. Once that was done, I went into TWRP and flashed CM zip provided by OP... Bam. Done and no problems. Thank you, OP!

I perhaps wasn't very clear about my above suggestion.
What I meant is that, there is an official insecure boot.img (the kernel) which I linked above and included in my zip package. I'm not telling him to install both SuperSU and the built-in root.
SuperSU has some features that is not present in the built-in root though, like logging or tapjacking protection. Privacy Guard is pretty nifty, but I still miss the old interface of SuperSU.

Hi all,
Just want to help a bit with the CM12S. Flash the attached zip if you want root in apps and ADB.
I grabbed a debuggable boot.img from the official CM servers here:

I think it's the issue with Franco's own kernel... Even the nightly CM12 users with the built-in root enabled also had the root access disabled.
SuperSU works in this case because it relies on an init.d su-enabling service.
Just wait for Franco to fix it, since the CM11S versions works well with the built-in root. I am also a FK paid user, so this is a bad situation for me as well...

Care to share it? I presume that the version in the OP won't work with the new v5.02 OTA?
I uploaded it here sorry it's not a better host but I'm on my phone ATM lol. http://uploadmirrors.com/download/R8ADOYOG/icial-12.0-signed-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-superuser.zip All I did was get the ota URL from here and changed the ending to cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-boot-debuggable.img I guess the system automatically makes the debug images when the ota rolls out. So I imagine the same thing would work for next ota. You just rename it to boot.img and replace the one in the zip from this thread and rename the zip and flash.

[OUTDATED][GUIDE][CUSTOM ROM]Kali Nethunter installation

Only should work on Android 10 based ROMs
External wifi adapters need custom kernel compiling
I've suffered to get the Kali Nethunter working on custom ROMs
U need free storage available (not sure cuz I've formated data then installed and it's been a while but ig not less than 15 gbytes)
Here are the steps :
1.download the file from offensive security website
(Not sure if external links are allowed but here it is ) : https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
(Just look for miui davinci file)
2.Download it and extract on whatever device u want the copy the extracted folder to the roo of the storage (of course not the "/" folder the "storage/emulated/0" one
3. Go into extractedFolder/data/app/
And make sure every app there is installed especially the nethunter.apk
4.copy the "kalifs-arm64-full.tar.xz" file to the root
"storage/emulated/0"
5.Open the Nethunter app and go into chroot manager and install chroot
5.Browse for the file location which you copied into the root "storage/emulated/0" and it will start installing it will take up too 10 to 15 minutes
6.You are done now but HID attacks aren't working
7.Go to USB arsenal and change "reset" into anything that has " hid" untill you see a successful toast message then save config to database
Done.
If it helped you hit the thanks button (your choice)
I'll be available asap if anyone has a question

Monitor mode works by default using the internal card
For external I don't have one to test it now
But I am sure it will work as long as it has a supported chip

Sorry I wish I was able to help
But the tag says [CUSTOM ROM]
SO I HAVE No Idea
Maybe try this
Don't flash any thing just follow the procedure listed above and It may work
Just don't flash anything
It won't work, cuz you need kernel for monitoring for example wifi - stock kernels can't put wlan1 (internal or external) wifi to monitor mode, so you won't be able to pentest routers

Are you trying to install Nethunter onto stock miui rom?
If so, take a look at
https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?48308-Xiaomi-Mi-9t-Not-Work-Hid-Monitor-Bad-USB
This worked for me
I'm running full Nethunter on Mi9t stock MiUi Global 11.0.4 rooted with Magisk.zip (via TWRP) and everything just works like a charm. No problems capturing packets, injection support is doing fine and HID seems to work (never tested it but NH App shows its working)
All i had to do was root the Mi9t with Magisk (flashed the zip via TWRP), after checking that everything went well ive booted back into TWRP and flashed the nethunter-2020.2-pre3-davinci-miui-ten-kalifs-full.zip downloaded at https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
After that i had to reflash Magisk.zip again (directly after flashing the nethunter.zip without rebooting the device!) and thats it.
As the pre-build images you get at offensive-security allready come with the tweaked kernel u need for injection and monitor mode, theres no need to flash a 'nethunter kernel' afterwards...it works 'out of the box'
Flashing another nethunter kernel afterwards will most probably result in a bootloop... (tried myself a few times with hasty nethunter kernel)
Ive only tried this with the officiall pre-built images on a stock MiUi ROM.
If you want to flash NH on a Costum ROM, you should probably go with the Guide from OP

I don't see anything about:

Is it necessary to flash, maybe Kali breaks the stock built-in GApps?
-"Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip"
Is it also necessary to flash, Magisk cannot make it pass SafetyNet without?
Also, does installing Kali affect:
- Widevine L1 (dropping to L3)
- 4G/4G+ (by disabling some bands or carrier aggregation)?
One more question, what would be a procedure to go back to stock?
Manually updating to the stock Recovery/ZIP firmware from System update/Choose update package would be enough or flashing Fastboot/TGZ firmware by Mi Flash Tool will be needed?

Well, somewhere i've read that it should work with 11.0.5 too but dont remember where...would have to search for it again to provide a link to you...
- Format Data and wipe
Not sure if its necessary, but i did so. Its always a good thing to do before flashing any ROM.
Just try it without that step and you'll see...you can always reflash to stock if you get any errors, so just give it a shot mate
-"AOSiP-10-Quiche-davinci-20200526-gapps.zip
Nope, thats not necessary for sure. I'm using it with the stock built gapps and its working fine
-Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
Thats pretty strange with that ForceEncrypt step, some say they had to others not. I did not flash it to be honest and everythings okay so far. But theres a Chance that you will have to! Maybe it belongs to which ROM you are using (global,eu,chinese) but cant tell for sure...
So this one you will have to figure out yourself, sry.
-4G and LTE is working good for me, so i'd say kali isnt affecting it
-About Widefine, well i dont know to be honest...im watching Prime and Sky Go on the Phone sometimes but for the Quality Prime just says 'optimal' and Sky Go 'HD'...it looks great for sure but i cant tell the exact Quality....if theres a way to check that, let me know and i'll be happy to do that for you
-One more question, what would be a procedure to go back to stock?
I would just do a wipe/format and flash the stock MiUI image or better, your backup via TWRP (or any other custom Recovery)
For me, Fastboot by MiFlashTool is always the last option. If nothing else works, Fastboot is a Livesaver but thats just 'my way' of doing it, there are probably many others who say otherwise!
Sometimes it needs a lot of testing to figure out the best way for your specific device, so always do a backup and flash a custom recovery before flashing Nethunter. That way, its always posible to get back to Stock if you encounter any bootloops/problems after the installation.
Its like always while playing around with any OS...if it wont work, you just have to "Try Harder"

Thank you a lot for your answer.
Btw, few days ago I upgraded to QFJEUXM v11.0.6 (so no more 11.0.5), which is newer than the Kali pre-built image, but according to v11.0.6 Changelog only Security patch was updated
I'm still tempting to try Kali (currently having new official TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and Hasty kernel)...
You can check your Widevine Security level (still interested if you have L1) by
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo
By going back to stock you said flashing MIUI. - so you mean flashing ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP?

Thank you for pointing out these two Apps mate!
I've checked my Widevine Security Level and both Apps showing Widefine L1 (Screenshots attached) so no downgrade after flashing Nethunter
Yes thats correct, to get back to stock you would have to flash the ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP.Only if that doesnt work you'd have to do it through Fastboot.
If you did a full backup (i.e. through TWRP) of your system before flashing Nethunter, you would be able to restore it by flashing the recovery,dtbo,boot and system images one by one through TWRP/Fastboot (not sure but i think it should be enough to just reflash the system.img, boot.img and dtbo.img to get your pre-Nethunter Setup/Specs back (English isnt my native Language so in case you dont get what im trying to explain...that means your stock 11.0.6 with TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and the Hasty kernel including all your Settings and Stuff)
You wouldnt have to flash a 'naked stock rom' if Nethunter doesnt work
If you're still not comfortable enough to install Nethunter onto your Device, just wait a few more Days.
I will try to get Nethunter running on the 11.0.6 ROM myself as soon as i have some more time!Will also try it with your Specs/Setup by then

But to be honest, and i really dont want to offend you, if you couldnt figure that one out yourself you shouldnt install Nethunter at all...

Ok, I installed NetHunter zip image for Davinci over QFJEUXM v11.0.6.0 and re-rooted with Magisk Canary v20419.
Ran NetHunter app and chroot.
I think it looks ok - screenshots attached
Btw, tried yesterday Wifite to 'break' three WPA WLANs (Private, not Enterprise) for whom I actually know passwords - their passwords are weak like vesna1970 or 136923457
Wifite was running for two or three hours, trying Pixie-Dust, NULL PIN, PIN Attack, Handshake capture but eventually failed for all three connections
I will set up a WEP AP at home next week to test again, but who nowadays still uses WEP. Almost everybody would be using WPA, and with stronger passwords than above
If so, I doubt it is of big (educational) use and I am suspect about YT movies where they successfully break WPA in 30 minutes (or more)
Receiving a notification to update NetHunter from Installed 2020.2 to 2020.2?!
But the Update fails with Error -110 - on screenshots
Btw, I have successfully updated (couple of times) packages from NetHunter app, currently there is nothing to update there
Edit:
Fixed the NH app update notification: open NetHunter Store, Settings, Expert mode and untick Privilege Extention.
Let it update the NetHunter app

Root/Unroot frustrations

I'd like to keep this simple. I tried rooting and not a single tutorial on here has ended with root privileges for various reasons. I'm done with it. I flashed stock firmware in hopes of removing any trace of files that may have been altered during the various root tutorials I followed, but Samsung Pass says the device is still rooted.
What do I need to do to return to 100% stock?

I'd like to keep this simple. I tried rooting and not a single tutorial on here has ended with root privileges for various reasons. I'm done with it. I flashed stock firmware in hopes of removing any trace of files that may have been altered during the various root tutorials I followed, but Samsung Pass says the device is still rooted.
What do I need to do to return to 100% stock?

I assume you unlocked the bootloader. Try Relocking and flash the firmware again.
Weather that will work is anybodys guess.
Rooting is a pretty simple procedure I can't think of any reason it didn't work except user error.
This method works perfectly on T860.

Well, this isn't the first time I've rooted a device and I followed every step of every tutorial I found on here and, for some reason, it would not root. This is the first, and only, device I've had this much trouble with.
The tutorial for rooting without TWRP: I made the patched AP file and flashed it; however, I could not boot into recovery or download mode and it always stuck on the boot logo.
The tutorial for installing TWRP didn't have a link for the encryption disabler and the one I found did absolutely nothing and the folders in storage just showed as a string of numbers and letters.
Maybe, if someone could put together a full tutorial with the files being used within the tutorial, it would have worked.

Did you get the bootloader unlocked?
Unlocking the bootloader:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to...to_Unlock_Bootloader_on_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_S6
To get to download mode it's volume up and volume down then plug your pc into device. NOT POWER AND VOLUME DOWN. This can be a pain in the back side.
If you do it this way you'll get the option unlock / lock bootloader or go to bootloader mode.
If you follow the instructions perfectly and then follow the instructions for rooting it will work.
Move on to root.
ROOTING :
https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...-to/root-guide-t860-root-twrp-method-t4095677
AP SLOT = PATCHED FILE
BL SLOT = BL FILE
CP SLOT = CP FILE (T865) NOT T860... T860 HAS NO CP FILE
CSC SLOT =HOME CSC FILE
DON'T forget to setup WiFi before installing magisk manager. ^^^^^^^^^
Install TWRP.

Yep, bootloader unlock was easy. I'll give root another try with your steps in a couple of days when I'm off work. Sorry if I came across a bit aggressive in my previous posts; I have a tendency to do so even when I'm not frustrated.
This has been so frustrating to me because I know rooting is usually a simple process; as you said previously.

So, yea, I'm a bit late getting around to this. Sorry.
This is where things get hung up. Everything flashes just fine and I can even get into TWRP; however, when I try to boot the tablet i get the Galaxy Tab S6 screen, then the warning about the bootloader being unlocked, and back to the Galaxy Tab S6 screen but with a "unofficial software" warning....and repeat. It just boot loops and this is where I've since I started this thread.
Also, returning to stock doesn't completely remove root traces as I can't use Samsung Pass and I simply get a warning about the device seemingly being rooted even though it isn't.
If you installed TWRP, then you tripped Knox tripping Knox will permentally disable Samsung Pay as far as I'm aware. You'll never get it back, regardless of root or no root access.
Also, I'm not sure why you're installing TWRP AND trying to flash a Magisk patched OS. It's one or the other, you don't need to do both. Unless something has changed in Android 10?
If you're flashing TWRP, you just need to flash Magisk in TWRP(along with the other files!), no need to patch AP.

Not Samsung Pay, I couldn't care less about that, but Samsung Pass; I guess it looks for knox being tripped now too. That sucks, but I'll make do without it.
I was following the guides posted above. The root guide said to flash a Magisk patched OS and then there was a guide for installing TWRP. I never had this many issues or this much confusion with my 1st gen Tab S; maybe I just haven't kept as close of an eye on these things since I've been without a tablet for awhile before getting the Tab S6.
Anyway, for clarification, all I need to do is flash TWRP and then flash magisk from within TWRP? Or, just install the magisk apk after booting into Android?

My bad for some reason I just read that as Samsung Pay. But yeah Samsung Pass also doesn't work with root, I'm not sure if that is permanent though as I've never used Samsung Pass, but did come across this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/samsung-pass-knox-tripped-devices-t3687977 it is possible to get some components of Knox to function again, (I have a working Secure Folder) so might be worth taking a look.
As for you question...
You should give this thread a good read... https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s6/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-t3975587
Basic steps are... Unlock the bootloader and then boot into system and ensure it's unlocked in settings. You may need to connect to the web, I can't remember tbh
First you need to install TWRP, once that is done you need to reboot but YOU HAVE TO boot directly back into TWRP. You cannot boot into system, or TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery and you'll need to start over again. Once TWRP is installed, boot into TWRP and format data then reboot recovery, flash Kernel then flash encryption disabler then unmount the system and flash Magisk 20.4 - Finally reboot to system.
I'd seriously and strongly suggest reading that TWRP thread to ensure things go smoothly.

I'll give those threads a thorough reading over tonight and tomorrow night while at work and then see if I can get this all sorted out Monday when I'm off. I remember Pass still working with root on the original Tab S so I'm hoping it hasn't changed.
Thanks for jumping in to try and help me with this. I'll update within a few days instead of months like my last update. ?

It has definitely changed. Pass doesn't work on my Tab S6 and I'm rooted, I guess Knox is now integrated with alot of Samsung apps now. Not sure if it's possible or not to get it working again though, I've never bothered to research it as I don't need it for anything - But as I said, I got Secure Folder working again, so there's some hope for Pass I guess - That first thread I linked looked promising, but I only skimmed it, because frankly I'm not interested.
If you need anymore help, report back -I'll try my best. Also, the TWRP thread I linked is full of helpful people. :good:

Perhaps I'm just not meant to have root with this device. Flashing that kernel causes Wifi not to work, but it does boot. Not flashing the kernel also booted, but I couldn't install Magisk Manager. Other than the bootloader still being unlocked, I'm back on stock firmware.

What firmware are you running?
I remember seeing something about one of the newer Kernels effecting WIFI on Android 10. Assume you're running that?
If that's the case, give the TWRP thread a browse - You maybe able to find an older version of the Kernel that'll work - As far as I'm aware, an older Kernel than what you currently installed will work, but a newer version than currently installed will possibly cause bootloop.
I can't help much with Android 10 specific stuff as I'm still running Android 9 because it's stable.

I am definitely on the latest Android 10 update so I'll see if I can find an earlier version that will work. I'll see what I can find out on the TWRP thread.

If you can't find an older Kernel (I'm not sure there is one for Android 10), it may be the case that you'll need to wait for the Kernel to be updated.

Yea, it looks like Samsung made some "wifi improvements" in OneUI 2.5 and that's causing some kernel issues preventing wifi from working. I think I could find a kernel fairly easily, but I think I'm just going to wait for a kernel update. If it never comes, I'll find an older kernel. Thanks for the help!
