If you want to use Google Pay or any other app that uses SafeNet API to detect root, you might want to use Magisk to add hide module to trick SafetyNet and hide. SafetyNet unfortunately detects even unlocked bootloader and/or flashed custom ROM.

so most of the banking apps or payment apps only stop working if u have rooted your rom. so i am on eu rom and most of the banking apps work if i dont root it
I guess it depends. On my MIX 3 Google Pay wasn't working because I had bootloader unlocked even when nothing was flashed. I'm planning to experiment a bit when official TWRP comes out because I really hate CN XiaoAI and a lot of features missing.

so inorder to root, you have to have your bootloader unlocked for sure,
so unlock your device as shown in my post above,
then extract your boot.img from the rom( find the version of your rom, download that specific rom from https://mifirm.net/model/odin.ttt )
and follow the above instructions for root as shown in my post(basically install magisk manager on your phone, use magisk to patch the boot.img, and the finally flash the boot.img using the command in fastboot mode.
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched*.img
and your phone should be rooted.
What if I want to return a phone to stock?
Bootloader is unlocked and it is running MIUI 12.6 by xiaomi.eu.
So I want to lock the bootloader and install the official rom so I can get OTA updates.
I downloaded MiFlash2020-3-14-0 and China Fastboot ROM: odin_images_V12.5.12.0.RKMCNXM_20211021.0000.00_11.0_cn_0d71adc934.
In MiFlash I selected clean all and lock. When trying to flash I am getting an Antirollback check error.
Short update: it seems you can't have spaces in the file path. After fixing this it flashed with no errors

thaanks for the update
By switching to the EU rom, does that mean I will not have to change any permission settings to get the gaps to work or will I still have to change permissions settings even after the ROM comes preinstalled with Google apps?

I had no problem with this recovery
My device was unlocked by vendor. I'm unable to boot into twrp to root my device. The flashing is successful but it will only boot in a simple recovery where I can only install an "update.zip".
Have tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...-guide-lenovo-z5-pro-gt-t3915945#post81055547 but the problem remains.
Hope anyone can help. I need to root my device. Thanks

Have the same scenario as you but I haven't done the tutorial yet as I read your post and I got concerned. Have you fix you issue? Is it safe to do this tutorial?
No solution so far. No twrp and no root
Now I have flashed the original rom with ZUI 10. Works well and updated to ZUI 11.

I've read somewhere that you need to flash vbmeta.img if verified boot is enabled, however I couldn't find the correct img to flash anywhere. Maybe if we ask someone that has the phone already rooted.

I gave up on clublenovo. They require SMS authentication to post so even when you log in you can't post and download. TWRP 3.3.1 is also available from 4PDA. That's what I used.
I was able to flash the TWRP 3.3.1 but i cant root nor i cant flash anything as the folders inside the sdcard directory is showing in weird names

You need to decrypt the internal storage.
normally this is done by entering to ping code to unlock the phone in TWRP on start up.

Its the pin code you use to open the phone.
And enabling does not remove data, but it does give twrp read/write permission

If you boot your ZUI system, your twrp will be overwritten by a stock recovery.
However if you flash magisk, your twrp won't be overwritten anymore. If you want to preserve your twrp after rebooting on ZUI, you need to flash magisk.
whatever I do.. the twrp wont be installed (let alone the root/magisk). ADB does say the twrp is flashed... but it will always boot to or the bootloader.. or the system (not the lenovo recovery or twrp recovery). Quiet frustrating... what can I do? Want this boy rooted!
Edit: done. The twrp linked in the tutorial is not correct use this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13mt0RLmT83BHSUBpH-J7EhaeZQ-MPYUu/view
That worked!
I want to unlock my bootloader but the site where you request the image file for unlocking it wont accept my IMEI1.. any idea guys?
I realize that there's no howto guide yet on this forum. To a new Xiaomi device user, this can be daunting.
This is my guide on how I flashed my China Redmi K20 Pro and fixed Google Pay.
I am NOT responsible for whatever happens to your device as a result of following the below instructions.
At all times remember to download only the ones applicable for the China version i.e. recovery, ROM.
EXTRA:: New phone out of the box and waiting for bootloader unlock?
Install Google Play. Some of the download links in the thread are outdated so it is best to go to apkmirror.com to search, download and install them.
1) In order to flash any custom ROM, the bootloader must be unlocked
Xiaomi locks this by default on all devices. You must unlock it before proceeding to next steps, or you will brick your device. If it's bricked, try this or read the last section of this post.
i. Check Mi lock status from Developer Options. To enable Developer Options, go to Settings -> My Device -> All Specs -> tap on MIUI version. The Developer Options will appear in Settings -> Additional Settings eventually after about 7 taps.
The unlock time can take anywhere from 2 days to 30 days. You can check the timer in step 1vi. You no longer need to apply to Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader.
ii. Download the miflash_unlock_en_3.3.827.31. Extract the zip and run miflash_unlock.exe
iii. On the computer, sign in to the same mi account that's being bound to your phone.
iv. Send the phone to fastboot mode (power down, then power button + volume down button at the same time until the android picture appears).
v. Connect the phone to the computer by USB.
vi. On the computer, attempt to proceed to unlock. It will show you the number of hours left that you need to wait before the phone can be unlocked. Try again after that.
2) Bootloader unlocked
When you try to unlock the phone now (step 1iii - vi), the phone's screen will suddenly change while your mi unlock tool is "verifying" the phone. The tool will say error unlocking. This is normal. On the phone's screen, after progressing about 10% it will appear to reset. Your phone is now unlocked. You can verify the lock status by repeating step 1.
3) Install TWRP custom recovery
You need an Intel (AMD Ryzen seems to be an issue) Windows PC and ADB/fastboot installed. If you don't already, download from here.
There are several recoveries out there, but this one works for me. Download your choice into your PC. When you are done:
i. Open PowerShell (in File Explorer, shift + left click on an empty space) in that folder you downloaded into. If it's a zip, extract to get the .img file.
ii. Send phone into fastboot mode (power down, then vol down button + power button together).
iii. Connect phone to computer.
iv. Type
Code:
fastboot devices
into the PowerShell window. On your computer, you will be able to see that the phone is now in fastboot mode.
v. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.3.1-0529-REDMI_K20PRO-CN-wzsx150.img
vi. When done, send your phone into TWRP recovery (vol up button + power button together).
Note: You must complete step vi or you will lose TWRP recovery because official ROMs restore to official recovery. If you missed this step, you must repeat from steps 3ii to go into TWRP.
4) Send ROM to your phone. If you have the ROM downloaded into your phone already, you may skip this step
Choose a ROM from the ROM section. For me, I use xiaomi.eu 9.8.22. Direct download link for the lazy.
Continuing in the same PowerShell window, type:
Code:
adb devices
adb push "D:\xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_9.8.22_v10-10.zip" /sdcard/
Replace D:\...... with the full path to the downloaded ROM. The file transfer may take some time. Wait for the PowerShell window to finish the executing command. It took 320 seconds for me.
5) Flash the ROM
For a clean ROM install, be sure to wipe the data, Dalvik and cache partitions. It is called a dirty flash if you wipe only Dalvik and cache.
i. On your phone while still in TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> select Dalvik / ART Cache and Data partitions. DON'T choose the FORMAT DATA or wipe any other partition.
ii. Select Install, then choose the ROM and swipe to start the flash. Alternatively, you can also run the same by continuing in the PowerShell window:
Code:
adb shell twrp install /sdcard/xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_9.8.22_v10-10.zip
iii. When done, select "Reboot System". The first startup will take some time (maybe 3 minutes). You may disconnect the cable from the computer now.
6) Congrats! You are now using a custom ROM!
7) Set up Google Pay
Last tested and still working on 29 August 2019.
There's still one last obstacle. It seems that even though we can pass SafetyNet, Google Pay still doesn't want to work.
a) Make sure Google Pay app has already been installed and run once.
b) Install Magisk Manager
i. Open the App and then download the Magisk zip file.
ii. Send the phone into recovery. Power down the phone, then power button + vol up button at the same time.
iii. Select the Install menu, then select the Magisk zip file and slide to confirm flash. When done, select "Reboot to system".
c) Open Magisk App, then under Downloads, find and install Busybox for Android NDK and SQLite3 for ARM aarch64. Reboot phone.
d) Download the GPay SQLite Fix (more reading here)
Which version to use? It depends on how you want the fix:
Fix stays even if Magisk is uninstalled - use v1.5
To uninstall later, use Termux, type in the following:
Code:
su
chattr -i /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db
Grant superuser to the App when prompted.
Fix is uninstalled together when Magisk is uninstalled - use v1.7
e) Open Magisk app, go to Modules, press on the + button to custom select a module. Select file manager, then browse to the downloaded zip file. When done flashing, reboot phone. You can begin to setup contactless payment next.
If you used v1.5, you may uninstall Magisk now.
TIP: You need to change the NFC method if you want to use Google Pay.
Under Settings, go to Wireless & Networks -> More -> Secure element position -> Use HCE Wallet.
Help! It keeps rebooting into TWRP and never into my ROM!
I hope you never end up needing this. But if it did happen:
a) Download and install MIUI ROM Flashing Tool from MIUI.com. Guide is also available in the page.
b) Download a fastboot ROM from here example: China V10.3.8.0PFKCNXM Fastboot.
c) Unzip into a directory with no space in between:
Code:
D:\Redmi K20 Pro\fastboot - NOT OK
D:\Redmi_K20_Pro\fastboot - OK
d) Send phone to fastboot mode (power down, then vol down button + power button together).
e) Connect phone to computer
f) Open the MIUI ROM Flashing Tool. Browse to the directory where you had extracted the file e.g. D:\Redmi_K20_Pro\fastboot\raphael_images_V10.3.8.0.PFKCNXM_20190601.0000.00_9.0_cn
The program always defaults to "clean all and lock". This option will install the official ROM and lock the bootloader.
Make sure to change to "clean all" to keep the bootloader unlocked.

You may then repeat step 3 Install TWRP custom recovery.

If this is locked, you will need to apply to Xiaomi to unlock. This can take anywhere from 2d to 30d. I think it is a random countdown timer set by Xiaomi. Mine took 7 days.
ii. You will be able to download their unlock tool (miflash_unlock_en_3.3.827.31) after applying. Extract the zip and run this tool (miflash_unlock.exe).
iii. On the computer, sign in to the same mi account that's used on your phone.
iv. Send the phone to fastboot mode (power down. then power button + volume down button at the same time until android picture appears)
v. Connect the phone to the computer by USB
vi. On the computer, attempt to proceed to unlock. It will show you the number of hours left you need to wait before the phone can be unlocked. Try again after that
2) Bootloader unlocked
When you try to unlock the phone now (step 1iii - vi), the phone's screen will suddenly change when your mi software is "verifying" the phone. The software will say error unlocking. This is normal. On the phone's screen, after progressing about 10% it will appear to reset. Your phone is now unlocked. You can verify by trying step 1.
3) Install TWRP custom recovery
There is a thread here that links to the custom TWRP made for Redmi K20 Pro. The last time I tried the download link had expired, so I used the archived one linked by the thread poster.
After extracting the zip, you will find a few important files:
These are essentially all you need to flash the custom recovery.
i. Open PowerShell in that folder you unzipped into. (In File Explorer, shift + left click on an empty space)
ii. Send phone into fastboot mode (power down, then power button + vol down button together)
iii. Connect phone to computer
iv. Type into the PowerShell window. You will be able to see that the phone is now in fastboot on your computer.
v. Type
vi. Type
vii. Your phone should boot into TWRP now.
4) Send ROM to your phone. If you have the ROM downloaded into your phone already, you may skip this step.
I downloaded the stable ROM 10.3.12.0. Direct link for the lazy
Continuing in the same PowerShell window, type
Replace D:\...... with the full path to the downloaded ROM. The file transfer may take some time. It took 454 seconds for me.
5) Flash the ROM.
Before flashing the ROM, clean the data and Dalvik cache partitions.
i. On your phone while it's still in TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> select Dalvik Cache and Data partitions. DON'T wipe any other partitions.
ii. Go back to home screen. Now go to Install menu, then select the ROM.zip in your /sdcard/ directory. Slide to confirm flash. When done, select "Reboot to system". The first startup will take some time (maybe 3 minutes).
6) You are using xiaomi.eu ROM (yay!)
Congrats! You are now using xiaomi.eu ROM!
7) Set up Google Pay
There's still one last obstacle. It seems that even though we can pass SafetyNet, Google Pay still doesn't want to work.
As of this post, I have tried this fix and it works.
Make sure Google Pay app has already been installed and run once.
a) Install Magisk Manager
i. Open the App and then download the Magisk zip file.
ii. Send the phone into recovery. Power down the phone, then power button + vol up button at the same time.
iii. Select Install menu, then select the Magisk zip file and slide to confirm flash. When done, select "Reboot to system".
b) Open Magisk app, then under Downloads, find and install busybox. Reboot phone.
c) Download the gpay sqlite fix (more reading here)
d) Open Magisk app, go to Modules, press on the + button to custom select a module. Select file manager, then browse to the downloaded zip file. When done flashing, reboot phone.
OPTIONAL: If you don't want Magisk, you can uninstall it now. After the phone reboots, you can begin to setup contactless payment.
If you want to keep Magisk, then you should hide Magisk Manager and all other apps that check for rooting i.e. Google Pay and other banking apps.
TIP: You need to change the NFC method if you want to use Google Pay
Under Settings, go to Wireless & Networks -> More -> Secure element position -> Use HCE Wallet.

You no longer need to apply for unlock permissions. This has been the case for a few months. I've no idea why Xiaomi don't take down the unlock request page.

MIUI will restore stock recovery on reboot. After flashing TWRP immediately boot into TWRP and install Magisk. This will prevent stock MIUI from restoring stock recovery.

you cannot boot into system after flashing twrp. on the official ROM they will restore to the official recovery. you need to flash a custom ROM like xiaomi.eu while in TWRP, then boot into system.

You still need to unlock the bootloader and you will most likely need to wait to unlock it, probably 7 days. But you no longer need to apply for unlock permissions for your Mi account.
There are still a lot of Xiaomi bootloader unlock How-to articles being written that tell you to go to the Xiaomi bootloader unlock permission webpage and apply for unlock permissions for your Mi account. This is not necessary anymore.

If you want to keep an official ROM, then you need to install Magisk.
Though if you are not installing a custom ROM or you're not installing Magisk, then I'm not sure why you'd be installing TWRP.

If you want to be safe and download the unlock tool from the Xiaomi site, then yes you are forced to fill the request for unlock permissions before you can access the download. But there are plenty of reliable sources where you can download the unlock tool.
When you create a Mi account it now has unlock permissions automatically.
The countdown will start when you 'Add Device' in the Mi Unlock Status screen within the Developer Options settings. In the last 3 months I've unlocked 2 Xiaomi phones and I've never applied for unlock permissions.
The user with the problem of losing TWRP did not mention whether they want to install a custom ROM or stay on stock. They may have been using your guide only for the TWRP installation. I was giving the information, should they wish to stay on stock.
Hi @ionflux. I tried this and still got an error from gpay saying device has been rooted or altered in some way. I am on stable china rom with magisk and unlocked bootloader. When installing the sqlite fix I get a message in magisk saying sqlite3 binary is not found

If you get in to trouble with your phone, then you can restore your phone by installing an official fastboot ROM. If you have bricked your phone, but can boot to the fastboot screen and have a unlocked bootloader, then you can restore the phone this way.
Download the latest official fastboot ROM from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...irmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647/post79726515
Then follow this guide to flash the ROM via fastboot.
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
In step 5 you need to make sure the option at the bottom is 'Clean All', otherwise you will lock the bootloader again.
Is there a situation that flashing twrp acouple times will mess up the device? Ive just experience this freezing after i flash twrp like 7x,do you think i can just dive in and flash eu rom? My bl is unlocked so that makes my devices restorable?

Normally, installing TWRP shouldn't cause issues, it's irrelevant how many times you try and install TWRP. I would say go ahead and flash an eu ROM. If you still have freezing issues when booting, then restore the phone and see if that fixes it. If so then start again with the TWRP and eu ROM install.
I am not responsible for your actions, but I will try to help.
I'm going to assume you have unlocked bootloader and ADB/Fastboot tools installed.
1. Download latest Magisk and make 2 copies of it. Install one of them on your phone. Change the extension of 2nd from .apk to .zip, then move it to your phone`s storage
2. Download Pitch Black recovery for Redmi 9C
3. Move recovery.img to both your ADB folder (can be found at C:\adb) and phone`s storage
5. Download DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION
6. Rename it to enfec.zip and place in phone`s storage
4. Download attached vbmeta.img and place it in your ADB folder
5. Go into fastboot mode
5. On your PC, open cmd-here.exe in adb folder
6. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
8. fastboot reboot recovery
9. Sometimes recoveries don't work with touchscreen. In this case, flash other region's ROM. To do this, find and download fastboot version of ROM. Unzip it, run flash_all.bat while being in a fastboot mode (this will erase all data). WARNING: DO NOT RUN flash_all_and_lock.bat. THIS WILL LOCK THE BOOTLOADER AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK!
Next retry again the whole tutorial. You can also use USB-OTG mouse.
10. Navigate to 'Install' section. Check every option except 'Reboot after installation is complete', 'Zip signature verification' and 'Advanced remove of Forced Encryption'. Select recovery image that you previously moved to your storage and install it 'as Recovery'.
11. In recovery, move to 'backup' and make a backup to your SD card (optional, but highly recommended). Usually, it doesn`t work out of the box. Try searching for guides.
12. In the same section install enfec.zip and then Magisk.zip. If you get errors like 'Failed to mount /nv_data', ignore them.
13. Reboot to system, copy external_sd/PBRB/tools -> storage/0/emulated/PBRB/
Done!
How to pass SafetyNet (tested on 05.05.21 dd/mm):
Simply enable MagiskHide. This will only work if you haven`t modified the /system with modules that don`t hide themselves.
If you did heavy modifications, install UniversalSafetyNetFix (USNF) (repo) or install both MagiskHide Props Config (can be found in Magisk`s modules) and USNF. Instructions to installation of Props Config can be found in the README or on the web. Experiment with it, this is device specific.

Did you tested this recovery on your phone?
I downloaded a recovery from GitHub for redmi 9c flashed it after flashing I flashed vbmeta too but can't boot into recovery
I am currently on global EU ROM 12.0.3 which I flashed yesterday
Before that I was on miui global 12.0.10
I tried to root it with magisk and after flashing magisk patched boot.img flashed vbmeta too
But can't get root access
Before I was on miui global 12.0.8
I rooted with magisk and got root access
In order to get root access I downgraded back to miui 12.0.8 but can't get root access

Try fastboot reboot recovery.img
If that doesn`t work, try updating your ADB/Fastboot tools. Just download needed files from any site and place them in your ADB folder.
Also, since this recovery is unofficial port, it is a bit different from original. To boot into recovery, you don`t have to hold power+volume_up untill you see recovery menu. Instead, hold it untill screen goes black.

Can't make a backup as your tutorial because i got an error, and what i need to backup just the 'one' selected from the recobery ? can i skip this step and just install the enfec.zip and then Magisk.zip ?
I am stuck from the step 8 and 9 because i got that error and i have no idea what select from the list of the backup...
Backup is an optional step. I get an error too and I have no idea why.
Seems like it worked very well. but the safetynet failed, should download Magisk v21.4 zip because the newest one failed at the moment to flash it, and if you get an error at the end of flashing the DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION it's ok still working anyway. thanks for sharing the post
@0purple
Btw personally skip the step 8 and 9, if you failed to get into recovery with the bottons just try again the step 5,6,7

ALTERNATIVE WAY OF FLASHING THE ROM
For those like me who have issue with flashing this rom here i what I do to bypass recovery issue..
after flash boot+vendor and start on LOS recovery and format data, I click update but I haven' apply update from sdcard1 but justapply from ADB..in advanced settings, there isn't such option....so I installed with ADB sideload
that what I do, and after 1 error I tried again and got error when I command adb reboot that system was not installed but I'm now on your rom....only issue is with my sdcard not recognized...have to backup on pc, format and recopy back, but certainly error on my side when I flash back miui rom.......
Install Custom ROM with ADB sideload
What is Android Debug Bridge?
ADB is a command-line tool included in the Android SDK development kit. It is used to communicate with any device that runs the Android operating system. You can use the ADB commands to perform various operations on your Android device.
With the help of the Android Debug bridge, you can install custom ROMs, mods, GApps, backup Android, flash official stock firmware, and install Android apps. Besides, you can also use ADB to uninstall bloatware without Root, downgrade an app, etc.
What is ADB Sideload?
ADB sideload, a command that transfer and install a zip file on an Android device from the PC. This command is handy for a custom ROM developer to push and install any installation zip file directly on a device.
The sideload feature was introduced with the Android Jelly bean recovery. Most importantly, this sideload mode requires a TWRP recovery version 2.3 or higher. Besides, it is also essential to install the latest ADB binaries on your PC.

But can someone explain it to me how to do it? I mean I know how to flash rom but I cant find simple steps for flashing.

1. Unlock bootloader

Hy, how in hell can you access to "Apply Update from SDcard1" ? I only can access to ADB Sideload, and it fails at 47% ? I try almost all of you tutos, and all are failing and I still don't get why, as I do everything as suggested. How do you transfer your rom on to SDCARD1 to begin with ?

its the boot.img on first post
Thanks for answearing.
So I installed the ROM and Open GApps but when I reboot to the system the screen goes white and then black. The phone is on because I can hear the lock/unlock sounds but I have no screen.
I also tried to only install the ROM but the same thing happened.
Do you have any solution for this or any idea what the problem could be?

from which base you start, miui, gsi???
did you a full wipe?? have you followed correctly the tuto with boot and vendor, then flashed with recovery??
if not succeed, you can try GSI who is maybe easier to flash

The first try was from Pixel Experience Plus 11.0 v313 GSI and the second one from MIUI 12.0.5 Global.
I flashed the boot and vendor, went to recovery and did a factory reset and finally I flashed the ROM and OpenGApps using adb sideload.

I used Pixel Experience Plus for 2 weeks and I really liked it but there was a really annoying problem with the vibration so I decided to try this ROM.
I tried the rom. Everything works well. GCam also works. ANX camera doesnt work though.

How to Root Samsung S23 (SM-S91*B/N/0)
WARNING!
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but some ROMs are patched for all these mentioned features, you can use custom ROM or patch it yourself for stock ROM. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
How to Unlock Bootloader
Follow below four steps to ulock the bootloader
1.Enable Developer Option
Open the Settings app on your Galaxy device.
Choose About > Software Information.
Now tap on Build Number 7 times to enable the developer option.
You’ll get a message “You’re now a developer.”
Now Developer option has been enabled.
2: Enable OEM Unlock
Go to the Settings app again on your device.
Navigate to the Developer option.
Enable the toggle next to OEM Unlocking.
Tap YES to turn on the confirmation dialog box.
3: Boot Your device to Download Mode
While device is booted → Connect device to PC → Select to Restart → As soon as device screen turns off, Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously OR In case device is powered off Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously and connect your device to the PC via a USB Cable.
You can see the warning message on your device and release the pressed keys.
Finally, press the Volume Up key once, and you will be booted into Download Mode.
4: Unlock Bootloader
Once device booted into Download Mode, you will see option to long press Volume up to unlock bootloader,Now, press and hold the Volume Up key for a few seconds., Here, you’ll get a confirmation whether you are sure to proceed.
Use the Volume Up button to reply to the confirmation.
This will erase all the data on your device and unlock the bootloader.
Once completed, your device will automatically boot up to the OS.
Now you have successfully unlocked the bootloader
How to root S23
Instructions for stock non rooted ROM
Use either samfirm.js, Frija, or Samloader to download the latest firmware zip of your device directly from Samsung servers.
Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
Download and Install latest Magisk apk (Get Latest Magisk apk from here)
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file
When done, copy patched file to PC
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
Your device should reboot automatically once Odin finished flashing. Agree to do a factory reset if asked.
Install the Magisk app you’ve already downloaded above and launch the app. It should show a dialog asking for additional setup.
Let the app do its job and automatically reboot the device. Voila!
Upgrading the OSOnce you have rooted your Samsung device, you can no longer upgrade your Android OS through OTA. To upgrade your device’s OS, you have to manually download the new firmware zip file and go through the same AP patching process written in the previous section. The only difference here is in the Odin flashing step: do NOT use the CSC tar, but instead use the HOME_CSC tar as we are performing an upgrade, not the initial install.
Important Notes
Never, ever try to restore either boot, recovery, or vbmeta partitions back to stock! You can brick your device by doing so, and the only way to recover from this is to do a full Odin restore with data wipe.
To upgrade your device with a new firmware, NEVER directly use the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always patch AP in the Magisk app and use that instead.
Never just flash only AP, or else Odin may shrink your /data filesystem size. Flash AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.
PS : It is strongly recommended to make EFS backup once you root device and save to safer place like on cloud or PC
For TWRP : Read here

Will try this now. Should the other slots BL/CP/CSC be filled with the firmware files when flashing this AP?

No needs, Flash requied file with AP slot onl
I flashed the AP file. I could not enter recovery mode to do factory reset. Device went into boot-loop mode, but after some failed attempts launched recovery by itself. Then I was able to do factory reset, and device boots properly.
Magisk (25.2 from apk in your zip file) still indicates: not installed. Ramdisk yes. Zygisk no (obviously).

You flashed AP file I have provide or one with patched with magisk yourself?
Earlier today I used Magisk alpha to patch the AP from WA6 firmware.
Some minutes ago I flashed AP file from you on top. It only wrote boot and vbmeta.
Any debug info/logging I can provide?

Do you have telegram? If yes inbox me. We can do some test with easy communication
@zzattack or any other user
I have updated link(v3), If anyone available to test new version.
.
This one gave me the "Magisk needs additional setup" prompt. After accepting + reboot, Manager detects magisk correctly and root is functional. Great work!
Would you be able to upload a release kernel too? Thanks so much!
