Anyone has a quick guide to updating from rooted A11 to rooted A12
Make multiple backups. You will lose all data, no matter what. Also, TWRP is broken.
Download an A12 update ZIP.
Extract it, then extract the AP file.
Plug device into PC. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and that you permanently trust the current computer when you are prompted.
Use terminal or CMD to reboot to Download mode: "adb reboot download"
Open Odin3 PatcheD
Check the box for AP
Click the AP button
Select the stock AP file (or just the super.img.lz4 file, which I did.)
Wait for Odin to finish checking the file
Click the Start button
Go through the setup on device, you can skip everything.
Go to Settings and enable Developer Options.
Ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and that you permanently trust the current computer when you are prompted.
Use terminal or CMD to reboot to Download mode: "adb reboot download"
On the PC, extract the AP .tar.md5 file
Once extracted, select the boot.img.lz4 and the vbmeta.img.lz4, then add them to a ".tar" archive using a program such as 7zip.
Copy the new .tar file to any device with the Magisk app on it (even if the device is not rooted)
Open the Magisk app, click "Install"
Click "Select and patch a file"
Choose the .tar file you copied to the device
Click "Install"
Magisk will tell you where the patched file is located.
Locate the patched magisk file, then copy it to your computer.
Flash the RMM fix by following the steps here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-binaries-are-allowed-to-be-flashed.3893592/
In Odin3 PatcheD, check the box for AP
Click the AP button
Select the patched file from magisk
Click the Start button
BOOM. You're rooted. Set up the device for real this time to get your backups copied over properly.

Which model do you have? Do you mean to say you have the T870? If so, check here.
I should also mention that I wrote this guide under the assumption that there is an Android 12 update available for your device, but it's for a different region. I do not condone doing this on any model other than the T970, and I am not responsible if your stuff breaks, ESPECIALLY if you try this on models other than the T970.
Hi @nooted1 , I keep getting the following error:
partion abl
Reason abl: Hash of data does not match digest in descriptor. [2nd] (3)
Wonder if you know what is the issue?
I flash the AP file for SM-T970-KOO using Odin 3 PatchedD on my US SM-T970 model.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the modded version of Odin3B? You'll need to search around for it. I'm using the modded version.

"Tab s7 wifi" does not tell me your model number though. The model will be something like SM-T870, SM-T970, SM-T976B, etc.
I got an error flashing the Korean A12 AP on US t970. Hash Data does not match in descriptor. Going to flash back the original
Edit: Sorry, wrong thread
Been skimming through messages but not finding a clear answer or haven't seen it asked... I have a SM-T878U (Tab S7 LTE/5G). Can I flash Korean or European firmware on it? Normally I'd know not to however, they share the same chipset AFAIK but don't wanna factory reset my set up if it isn't going to even work.
Any ideas?

Thank you for these instructions!
I am curious: your instructions don't mention BL..., CSC... nor HOME_CSC...
Until now I flashed AP/BL/CSC the first time and Magisk-patched-AP/BL/HOME_CSC when updating. Are BL and (HOME)_)CSC nop longer needed?

CSC doesn't seem to matter for WiFi-only models. Personally my goal in trying this was to get to Android 12 while changing as little as possible, since I do not know the possible outcome of trying to flash a foreign BL/CSC/etc to my T970. I waited for the official A12 version for my T970 with XAR as CSC, and *then* I flashed all of those.
One thing I can say for sure, though, is that AP is all that's needed for rooting with Magisk. And not even all of the AP, just boot and vbmeta.

I may be wrong on this, but my understanding is that very few devices are capable of retaining root after relocking the bootloader. My recent experiments with the OnePlus 8 proved that it's definitely possible, but as I am only a hobbyist tinkerer I do not know how or why this is or isn't possible on different devices.

Sorry to hear that. The good news is that at this point the A12 update has been released for most (if not all) regions and variants, though you may need to search multiple Samsung firmware download sites to find your specific version.

You have the A10, which is a bit different than the A10s so it is most likely that any GSI that boots to your phone will not boot for mine. Besides, A10s does not have TWRP yet and A10 does

how to root SM-A107f Samsung Galaxy A10s
ShaDisNX255 said:
Yes.
Click to expand...

so this is what i did to root my A10s.
1. check what binary your phone is running I already updated mine so my phone is on Android 10 binary 6.
how to check your binary - goto setings-about phone-software info, check Baseband version so on my phone its A107FXXU6BTES the U6 indicates your binary some has U3 binary 3 or U5, S5 binary 5
once you determined your binary.
2. activate DEVELOPER OPTIONS then activate OEM UNLOCK
samfw.com/firmware/SM-A107F/XTC/A107FXXU6BTF
go to this website and download the appropriate firmware.
each will contain a BL, AP, CP, and Home_CSC.
3. once finished downloading unlock your bootloader just boot to download mode then there is an option to press and HOLD VOLUME UP to unlock bootloader then press volume up again. if it didn't reboot instantly press and hold volume up and down again just do it again until when you choose to unlockbootloader it will reboot instatly.
4. after unlocking bootloader just go through the entire process of setting up your phone keep the bootloader unlock, INSTALL Magisk manager, so yeah install magisk choose patch image then from your downloaded firmware remove the "MD5" at the end of the files so it will be AP_A107F.tar then choose the AP to patch hrough magisk
5. after patching copy the patched file to your PC extract it by WINRAR get the boot.img if its boot.img.lz4 it means patch was not sucessful
6. after getting the boot.img copy it to your phone again and patch again make sure to rename it boot.img from inside the generated patch file then compress it as TAR using 7zip
7. flash it through odin on AP section and there your magisk rooted.
sorry for the long post

Hi '''Mirloo''''About rooting the (Samsung Galaxy 10s SM-A107f) I have tried most of the rooting akps with no luck (cfautoroot I have not tried yet)'''''''As for using Odin & magisk I am getting so many different instructions from different posts
1 unlock the bootloader This I have done successfully
The next steps using Magisk & Odin Start to get misleading
one site says Copy the AP to your phone and patch it where another site says says change the format of the AP file to tar by deleting .mds then copy it to your phone
I seem to get confused now as what to do next ''''Please could you give me full instructions ....Thank you
I have attempted to patch boot.img around 7 times unsuccessfully, I have the SM-A107F, can someone please send me the correctly patched boot image for my device, will be much appreciated.

merhaba s7'm var artı t970'im var nasıl rootlayacağız
Translation: hello i have s7 plus i have t970 how do we root
I followed this guide below that I found somewhere in this forum, it is not mine, I just added some notes to it. I recommend searching for the original thread. There could also be a newer firmware version now, please check yours before rooting. It has been almost 2 months since I did it.
Unlock OEM (under developer options)
Boot in download mode (with the tablet powered down, press volume up + volume down and connect USB cable to PC)
Long press volume up to unlock bootloader (you will lose all your data!)
Download the original firmware ( https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s7/firmware/SM-T970/XAR/download/T970XXU1ATJ4/502568/ )
Flash it using ODIN in download mode (Optional, just to make sure you are using the same image you are going to patch)
Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP_xxxx tar file.
Decompress the lz4 to get the uncompressed boot.img (I had to use a separate tool since 7zip was not able to compress/uncompress the lz4 archive, https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
Copy the file to the tablet
Patch it using the latest Magisk Manager. ( https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk)
Copy the patched boot image back to the PC.
Recompress it as boot.img.tar (rename magisk_patched.img to boot.img then compress as boot.img.tar)
Flash it using AP slot in Odin and reboot tablet. (I had to do a full factory reset)
Install Magisk again
For AdAway to work you will need to enable systemless module in Magisk
You are done! Magisk manager should say now it is rooted. (you will also have a BIG warning every time the tablet is powered on, telling you how irresponsible and despicable you are by modifying the device)
I rooted my Samsung S20 before by following this guide
it is very similar to what is described above.

@simerenya Please use English on XDA Forums. If you want, you can use the translating service of your choice. See the forum rules for more details.
@BigBucha I suggest that you do not link to that particular website for Magisk downloads (or any other website that pretends to be the Magisk website). None of those websites are run by @topjohnwu and in the best case they're just re-hosting the files to get ad-revenues, but in the worst case you'll download a malicious version of Magisk. That wouldn't be good. The only place for sure and safe downloads of Magisk is on @topjohnwu's Github: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
@Didgeridoohan , understood, thanks! I didn't know about Magisk's official web site, just googled it. I updated my previous post.
@simerenya,
Not sure if I understood your question. I used google translate.
You asked for a screen-sharing session?
I have done rooting of this tablet model only once myself, that was 2 months ago, not sure if I can be of much help to you.
Please try following the guide step by step yourself. If in doubt, I recommend not doing this since you may brick your tablet.
You can post your questions in the forum if you get stuck or brick your device. I will try to answer them.
I was able to root my tablet from the first try.
Good luck.

Thanks for the instruction. I was finally installed magdisk on S7+ tab. Root check is good. But some app like adaway does not detect root and never ask for root access when installed. Do you know how to solve this?

Not sure about other apps, but for AdAway to work I had to do these steps:
1. Open Magisk
2. Go to Modules (the jigsaw icon)
3. Install "Systemless Hosts" module
4. Reboot and try selecting root mode in AdAway again

Did you successfully unlock bootloader? My phone was not locked to any mobile carrier. Please paste a screenshot.
Is there Anyone who Successfully Unlocked the Bootloader and Installed magisk on
SM-526B/DS?
Successfully Unlocking the Bootloader and Installing magisk would be awesome maybe some day.
I just successfully installed Magisk using the standard patch AP method on my SM-A526B/DS
Wow good to know.
I wonder how soon before we can do this on the SM-A526U.

This will erase your phone's data so backup first
This will trip knox and prevent alot of samsung apps working
Unlocking Bootloader
1. Enable OEM unlocking in developer options
2. Turn phone off
3. Plug a usb into pc but not phone
4. Hold vol up and down and plug usb into phone
5. Wait for green screen and follow instructions to unlock bootloader (as follows)
5.5. Long press vol up on green screen then press vol up again
Installing magisk
1. Download your firmware from the internet
2. Extract the AP tar.md5 file
3. Place file on root of phone
4. Download and install Magisk (I used Canary)
5. Make sure connected to internet
6. Open Magisk and press the top install (Manager not the app install)
7. Select Install > Select and Patch a File and select the AP file you put on the phone
8. Wait for it to patch and create a new file
9. Find the new file, usually called magisk_patched in your downloads folder, but Magisk would have said what and where on the patching screen when done
10. In Odin flash this new AP file
11. If needed reinstall Magisk app, open it and let it update
To get saftey net to pass I had to use The universal saftey net magisk module found somewhere on this site. I can find it later if needed
Those are the steps I did, hope it helps
There seems to be no way to unlock the bootloader on the SM-A526U.
Everything I tried fails.
When you enable developer options on this model (SM-A526U) the unlock for the bootloader is non existent.

6. Open Magisk and press the top install (Manager not the app install)
7. Select Install > Select and Patch a File and select the AP file you put on the phone
8. Wait for it to patch and create a new file
9. Find the new file, usually called magisk_patched in your downloads folder, but Magisk would have said what and where on the patching screen when done
10. In Odin flash this new AP file
11. If needed reinstall Magisk app, open it and let it update
To get saftey net to pass I had to use The universal saftey net magisk module found somewhere on this site. I can find it later if needed
Those are the steps I did, hope it helps

Correct, there is no OEM unlock option for the SM-A526U.

Reading in to it who is your service provider? Is it T-Mobile? Regardless,it seems your phone needs to either be unlocked by them or a 3rd party. Or you can try to call them and convince them you need the OEM unlock button for work purposes.

This is incorrect. U.S. phones have their bootloaders hard locked and needs paid service to get it unlocked.

Yeah, but the model " SM-A526U" is U.S. variant. Those cannot be unlocked by normal means.

You have to activate the Magisk Hide option in the settings, then hide Health app and Health service.
You may have to hide other app if you want other functionalities such as Secure Folder or others...

Ok so the way I updated it without wiping, although no guarantees as I am no expert with this stuff;
Note. I did disable all of my magisk modules 1st, not sure if that's a requirement, doubt it but I did it anyway
1. Manually download latest firmware
2. Extract the boot file from the AP rar
3. Convert it to a tar file
4. Patch the new boot file in Magisk
5. With Odin install all files but use Home_csc instead of just normal csc
6. wait for phone to reboot, it will say wiping for like half a second and then boot loop to a wipe data screen, don't wipe data!
7. Hard turn the phone off and re enter download mode
8. With odin patch the magisk boot file you made earlier.
9. It should now boot and upgrade
I just share my experience. Do it at your own risk
I. Unlock bootloader
1. Enable developer options by tapping build number 7 times
2. Go to Developer options, turn on OEM unlocking
3. Turn off Tab A7 Lite, connect it to the computer while holding Volume Up and Volume Down keys until you see the bootloader screen
4. Long-press Volume Up key to enter Device unlock mode
5. Press Volume Up key to confirm and unlock the bootloader
Done
II. Root
1. Unlock bootloader (skip this if you have done it)
2. (On PC) Extract boot.img.lz4 from Stock AP...tar file, then copy it to Tab
3. (On Tab) Install ZArchiver to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4
4. (On Tab) Install Magisk and patch the boot.img that you have just extracted from step 3
5. (On PC) Copy magisk_patched.img (in Tab\download) to pc, rename it to boot.img
6. (On PC) Use 7zip to pack boot.img from step 5 into boot.tar
7. (On PC) Use odin to flash boot.tar from step 6 (in AP slot)
8. After Tab reboot, open Magisk, update to newest version, open again and let it install something then reboot
Done
In case you don't want to do a full step by step as above, you can use my already patched boot.tar below, just download and flash it via odin. After flashing and reboot, open Magisk, update to newest version, open again and let it install something then reboot

Sorry, I did put the tablet in download mode, but it says the boot image cannot be flashed with odin becaouse its custom binary even if developer mode is on and OEM unlock is on... Strange! Any Ideas?

Sorry it was alright I just didnt press long enough the volume up button its different from a short press when unlocking the OEM.... Thats all a long press needed instead a short one.. Otherwise boot loader will stay locked.
Thanks for the thread GREAT WORK!

Hello,
thank for your work I succeeded with root but I mistakenly installed a faulty twrp which bricked the tablet. I have access to download mode but I can't reinstall a functional version ("security fail tip) the only thing that odin accepts is your great work "patched boot.tar" but the boot still blocks. an idea to unlock it. thanks in advance

I think you should download and flash latest firmware. You can download from this site:
samfw.com
Hello,
thank you for your help i have repaired the boot. it was a question of firmware indeed but beware for tablets version T225 "N" the firmware is not the same and is more difficult to find. they are not offered on dedicated sites.
This is my first guide. Please forgive me for any mistakes and please alert me if there are any.Some Samsung phones and tablets are having bootloops when flashing patched AP file. This guide gives you root and no bootloops!
These issues will also no longer happen: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...he-phone-turn-off-magisk-frija.4462471/unread
My Samsung Galaxy A03 died (sorta) and then I could use it only after the battery discharged.
Few months later I tried rooting again.
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE! KNOX is tripped too!This guide can be used as a general guide for these type of devices by Samsung.
Prerequisites:- Your device will be factory reset! Make sure you backup!
- This guide assumes that you are on the latest firmware.
- Download and install Samsung USB drivers from here.
- Download ODIN from here.
- Download and install 7-Zip from here.
Guide:1. Download firmware zip using this.
2. Extract it.
3. Extract boot.img from AP archive.
4. Patch boot.img in Magisk and copy it back to PC.
5. Rename it to boot.img.
6. Right click on boot.img then hover on 7-Zip and then click on Add to archive
7. Click on archive format and select "tar" from the dropdown menu.
8. Toggle OEM unlock from developer options (to enable keep tapping the build number in software info till developer options are not enabled)
9. If your device is carrier locked then close this tab and go do something else.
10. If you see OEM unlock and toggled it then we are ready for the next step.
11. Power off device.
12. Press volume up + volume down and then attach USB cable to phone with PC.
13. A warning screen should appear.
14. Long press volume up and then press volume up for confirmation.
15. Your device will reset and the bootloader will be unleashed!
16. When you get to the setup, power it off again.
17. Follow step 12 again but this time don't long press, only short press volume up.
18. It should get into download mode.
19. Open ODIN then the log should show "Added!!!", If it doesn't then try reinstalling drivers and reboot.
20. Then click the AP button and then select the boot.tar file.
21. Click on "Start"
22. It will flash and automatically reboot.
23. Setup your phone and install Magisk and you should be rooted!
or
Follow this guide if you rooted this phone to get rid of privacy invasion and software restrictions and if you live in India (UP) and got this phone for free.
OTA Updates (For this phone and similar devices, not a general guide!):Samsung phones do not have A/B partition scheme. Samsung's OTA updater will be broken and any update you try will fail. However, flashing the latest version with Odin should work and then flashing patched boot.img separately. Cannot guarantee it works on this phone though. If it works I'll definitely update this guide.
EDIT: Flashing official firmware and then flashing patched boot.img works!
enjoy!
It didn't work for me with odin and I got bootloop, but it worked with Heimdall:
Code:
heimdall flash --BOOT magisk-patched.img
or:
Code:
heimdall flash --boot magisk-patched.img
