Question How to update my phone without losing the root ? - Samsung Galaxy A52 5G

All in the title /

You have to redo the root process as described in my guide ! ^^
You just don't need to unlock the bootloader as it is already done.
BTW, which Magisk version are you using as I have to update my guide since the release of Magiskv24.3 ?
The root process won't change only everything related with magiskv24.3...
If Zygist is enabled all RIRU modules won't work anymore and will be disabled !
With Zygist enabled you will have to install LSPosed-zygist module with SafetyNet Fix 2.2.1...

will the data be reset?

For future reference, you do not have to wipe your data when updating your phone. Simply acquire the update files, either from Samsung Smart Switch or the internet. Copy the AP file to your phone, patch it with Magisk. Then with Odin, flash from the update, the BL file, the magisk patched AP file, CP if you have one and the Home CSC file, as this will retain your data compared to plain CSC which will wipe it

I have done every update this way. It always works, although I have only tried this on the s7, s8+, A52 5G so maybe other Samsung's are different. Or maybe I am just super super lucky every time :/

Arobase40 said:
Maybe.
We have to wait till next update to confirm this point.
BTW which version of Magisk are you using with your devices and specially with your A52 5G ?

I always use the latest canary. Right now I'm on 24303.

Root

I mean is there any possible way to root this device? I tried flashing SuperSU, didn't work. Then I tried flashing the systemmode SuperSU, got stuck in the bootloader warning text. I also tried some pre rooted Roms from the forum.. and they just won't boot. What am I missing here..??

I didn't. I had no clue what it was. I just flash recovery n install the SuperSU file with it on other phones.
Now I'll try rooting it once the nougat arrives.

Nougat could introduce more issues (e.g. Xposed doesn't work with Nougat as of today... Magisk & SuperSU... who knows?) but in theory steps should be the same...
More: this is unknown to most (and I don't have a clear explanation for it... only some hypothesis...) but even TWRP could have issues...
On another phone I've found (only one time to be honest... ) that an updated firmware required an updated TWRP to have it working (older one simply doesn't booted anymore even if reflashed...)

I don't like OTAs at all... I'll prefer going with flashing full images by fastboot (if stock images) or TWRP (if custom ROMs or zip flashable version of stock images...).
They are safer and cleaner than OTAs...

@enetec
Are you able to restore all the changes you made to /system, to successfully install the next OTA-update?
Or you just reflash the whole stock image before the next ota?

As I said elsewhere, I don't like OTAs at all...
Probably it could be possible to restore all as stock from my backups, but I will surely update (when I'll decide to...) using fastload or TWRP (depending of image formats...) as you said...

Magisk - root not supported

Strange things happen.
Yesterday i flashed the Concept Rom (7.1.2) over the Posion Rom, and flashed Magisk in TWRP, everything fine.
Yesterday evening, i ****ed up my system somehow, and i did a clean flash with the Concept Rom.
I realized that the Rom isnt rooted, flashed Poison, did a factory reset (to hopefully geht the su binary), flashed the Concept Rom, and then Magisk.
And now Magisk tells me, that 'my' root isnt fully compatible with Magisk (and Magiskhide), and im not using MagiskSU.
I think i did it the wrong way, flashing Magisk only with Concept Rom doesnt work (cant remember the error), so whats the right way to use Magisk on my X?
the concept rom is rooted. I tested it yesterday. if you want to use magisk please unroot by unroot function in supersu
Did you cleanup supersu before flashing magisk?

Havent used my X for a long time not because i got a Moto Z.
But Safetynet check fails, always. On my X and the new Z, but, Pokemon Go is running, for example.

I'm on poison, which includes root. I have magisk manager and although the safety net fails, magisk hide works fine with snapchat.

[GUIDE]P10/P10+ root with magisk & SN verified/installing firmware

Hello,
Here is a guide for anyone that wants to keep root with SafetyNet verified on Huawei P10 and P10+, also here you will find how to install/update P10 and P10+ firmware.
REQUIREMENTS
- Unlocked Bootloader(BEFORE&AFTER YOU INSTALL FIRMWARE)
- TWRP recovery for P10(AFTER INSTALLING FIRMWARE) : https://.xda-.com/p10/development/testers-twrp-t3585256
- Make a back up of system,products,vendor,boot,etc. in twrp(optional,but recommended)
Now,the steps :
1. Install your stock firmware(or update) : http://www.stechguide.com/?s=huawei+p10 (read the steps in there carefully and see if your build number matches the one on the site!)
STEP 1 IS NOT NEEDED IF YOU NEVER TRIED TO ROOT YOUR P10!
2. After you installed your desired firmware go ahead and unlock bootloader again(this will factory reset your device)and install TWRP recovery.
3. Download Magisk v12,Magisk Manager and uninstaller and flash Magisk v12 with TWRP and then install Magisk Manager.
Magisk v12: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4095052&d=1490916845
Magisk manager for v12: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/topjoh...se/magisk-manager-4-3-3-android-apk-download/
UPDATED :
I found a way to install v13 on p10,p10 plus,not sure if p10 lite also :
Go in magisk manager(magisk v12) and check the "Keep force encryption" and "Keep dm-verity" boxes,and then press install/update (if this doesnt work),download a terminal emulator(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and type this :
Code:
su
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Thank you ! Finally I learned to debrand hoping viper4android will work with magisk.

Yeah, forgot to mention that you can debrand too with this. Np
Viper4android won't work because you need to enable core mode on Magisk(that means no mods will be loaded)
then how to make v4a to work?
wait for the stable v13 magisk
Hello,
Actually I have a P10 with build number : VTR-L09C530B122, could I follow the guide with the Huawei P10 B153 Nougat Update [Europe] ?

Can you explain why this does not work? (is only a P10 problem right?)
I gave up on TWRP/Magisk on my P10 Plus because of this
I never figured out why, but guessed it had to do with the encryption of the data partition
I was going to look at it again once TWRP could do a full backup (including /Data)
I'm currently on stock and it sucks... Did burn my fingers with FRP lock on a phone that couldn't boot to Android... And recovery2 (eRecovery) overwritten by flashing TWRP over it... Not feeling adventurous until TWRP is fully working ?

OTA Updates with Magisk installed

I recently rooted my device using this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-root-using-magisk-stock-recovery-t3718203
The guy who posted it says that since we keep the stock recovery we can safely install OTA updates without any problems but he doesn't mention how. Is there a way to install OTA without getting bootlooped or bricked and of course without wiping everything? Also, Flashfire doesn't work on my phone (it kicks me out after loading). Besides I've heard that it can really mess up your device. Just please help out here because I really want to keep my phone updated without losing my data.
Thx in advance

Also you couldnt use flashfire since you need to root using Super SU instead of magisk , but you would also loose system ota feature since supersu break ota...

Question Are there any benefits to install Magisk if my model (sm-A526u) can't be rooted?

I have done my research on xda and Google about my phone version not having access to root yet; and I would like to know the opinion of users of my same phone model: SM-A526U; What benefits can i find if i install magisk?
can i use the magisk modules without being rooted?
thank you for reading my post and thank you in advance if you respond

Have you tried Odin to do the flashing? While not the same device, I have rooted my SM-A526B without TWRP by patching the boot image with Magisk and then copying over the patched boot.img file to a computer, then finally flashed it over using Odin.
I have played with TWRP and Odin in the past with other phones; But I don't feel comfortable experimenting with this phone since it's my only source of work right know. After the process is proved ok by other people with the exact same model as mine, I can't risk experimenting like I have done other times.

This won't work on Samsung "U" variant phones because of their locked bootloader. Once you modify boot.img with Magisk, the phone will automatically detect it as custom firmware and it won't allow it to be flashed because of locked BL.
