Hi all,. for a friend I am trying to root a G398FN (PHN) with Magisk and a patched boot file. I went thru the unlocking process at the bootloader, I took the latest android Q firmware and with 7Zip Zs I unzipped the AP file, and then I got the boot.img.
Magisk says it is patched, then I use ADB to GET the file back on my PC, and then I flash it with Odin.
I have tried all sorts of combinations, flashing the patched boot alone, flashing the enitre AP file, flashing the patched AP file alone, and the complete firmware, but in any case I end up with a phone that should have a patched boot, but doesn't. Magisk is not a stub, and Magisk asks for the original rooting method.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong here ? The patched boot is downloaded via ADB, then flashed with the latest Odin but the phone is not accepting the changes.
So i Have a Xcover 4s G398FN with android Q latest firmware, latest Odin, unlocked bootloader and I have tried almost every combination there is to make the phone work with the patched boot. What is happening here? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

trying to flash TWRP on my S5 but when trying to enter recovery i get "could not do normal boot", "Secure download : Enabled", "UDC start"
looking online people seem to have problems with having Odin not recognise the device or stuck on the bootloading page but my issue is reserved to just not being able to flash the recovery.
I'am still able to flash CF Auto Root and the stock firmware via Odin. also tried to check if my bootloader is unlocked but does not show up as a fastbootable device (i already had twrp 3.0.1 and lineage os 14.1 so i would assume it already is unlocked)
sorry for missing any needed information
Hi , try to flash latest twrp recovery with Odin.
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.2.3-0-klte.img.tar.html
If that doesn't help you flash this stock recovery with Odin , if that doesn't work download latest stock firmware for your device and Region and extract just recovery.img and make it as tar or tar.md5 to be flashable with odin .

Good Luck
So I have rooted my Android Galaxy A8 (SM-A530F) Android version 9. To do this I used TWRP to install RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip, no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip-6.0 and Magisk-v19.3.zip. Everything works fine, but I cannot encrypt the device! I have also tried the fast encryption option with no luck.
I tried a couple of suggestions from the following forum post https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-device-encryption-t3742493?nocache=1 namely where it says:
- Flash the stock book.img back in Odin and apply no-verity-opt-encrypt in TWRP. Use 7-Zip to create a tar only containing the stock BOOT.IMG and flash it in Odin using the AP slot.
- Flash back a TWRP backup taken of the boot partition before installing a root ROM, but after flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt.
After following the two options listed above the phone just un-roots!
I have also tried to shuffle the order in which the three zip files(mentioned earlier) are installed via TWRP with no success.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to having both encryption with root? Are there other better ways to root the phone that might enable encryption?
Grateful for any help, thanks.

flash magisk in custom recovery
Hello FraSharp,
on smartphone (Samsung J600FN stock version Android10),
I install the Magisk.apk, after I download the boot.img (extracted on PC from the stockROM.zip)
launch magisk on this downloaded boot.img, then magisk returm a bootPatch.img
on PC
I pull the bootPatch.img
then flash this bootPatch.img on smartphone
At reboot, error with a corrupt message and going to a factory reset.
So, how do you install your Magisk?
As the title states...
I downloaded the appropriate boot.img version for my current version of Oxygen OS, I patched it with Magisk and then flashed it. Now my phone will not boot beyond the fastboot bootloader.
I've tried flashing firmware again but continue to be stuck in the bootloader.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
What guide for rooting are you following? I don't recall ever having to do this, you can just install Magisk from custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) (and then, again, as an app, once loaded). Just need to rename to have .apk and .zip for app and system loads, respectively.
As far as [recovering from] your case... while you could likely play until it is figured out, the MSM tool is probably the easiest and safest bet. Yep, phone gets wiped, but a 99.999999% chance of unbricking as long as it isn't physically broken.
