[Request] Process to root ZE552KL Nougat

Dear friends,
I want to know the exact process to root my ZE552KL using Stock Nougat as I am too confused after looking at a lot of threads about rooting this model.
I had used Samsung Galaxy Note 2 back in 2012, just after it was launched and the process of rooting was easier for it. However, I felt rooting ZE552KL is a bit complicated and I dont want to brick my device as its in warranty till Feb 2018.
Will you please give me the exact process to root ZE552KL?
Thank you in advance.

Didnt receive any help from anyone. No issues. I found a clean way to root phone without installing twrp. By using latest magisk 14.0 without root and twrp. Try it. Its good. All you will need is an unlocked bootloader and a boot.img of your phone.

Can u show how to do it ? Thanks before

I see that using the sd card would be great if the phone had one. So how to root without it?

Not necessary to use sd card. Place the files in internal memory instead.

Sorry I should have done a better job clarifying. It WiFi does not turn on, on my phone with Magisk installed. It does with it removed. The icon goes through the process but never turns on.

TWRP is the culprit, reflash the factory rom and it will work.

Twrp but what he recommends hear overwrites my rom removing magisk. When I reflash magisk it's the same issue.
I'll look into sick installer.

Dont know the exact reason but custom kernal installation fixing it.

I fixed it by running the update through the local upgrade again. It fixed it after one local upgrade with standard magisk upgrade steps.

10.1 flashing a custom kernel then Magisk and I have no WiFi issues. It is some conflict with standard OnePlus 6t kernel.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/ultimateguide-t4004367
Take a look at this...

Payload dumper
You have to use payload dumper. Extract Payload dumper after You downloaded it in a folder. Download the lastest 6t Stock Android zip file 10.0.1, extract it and take out the payload.bin file,
put it in the input folder of payload dumper and start payload dumper. Wait some time. Now in the Output folder take out the boot.img and send it trough Your phone, install Magisk in Your phone. It is still uninstalled now and it will remain unistalled now. Tap on install where Magisk is uninstalled and still Red, again tap on install and choose patch a file, it will open Your Filemanager on Your phone, choose the destination of Your boot.img. and tap on Your boot.img file.
Now magisk will flash it. After that look in Your download folder, there You will find the file magisk_patched.img, save it on Your PC. Start Your phone in to the fastboot mode and flash in minimal-adb-or-fastboot the magisk_patched.img.
You have to write fastboot flash boot. Now drag and drop the magisk_patched.img in to the window, so it will look like this:
fastboot flash boot "C:\Users\(Your Username)\Downloads\magisk_patched.img"
Hit enter, just some seconds and it is done. Now write fastboot reboot and hit enter. The phone reboots and Wifi also appears and the sound is working. You have to do it again when the next update appears. Maybe Android Oxygen OS 10.0.2
I am wondering about the next updates from android 11 (R), 12 (S), 13 (T). If it will work the same till Fuchsia OS is coming out and we will say good bye to Android and maybe goodbye to custom ROMs.
But PC Games on the Phone would be a tasty thing because Fuchsia OS is supporting APKs and EXEs too.
Have Fun.

full rom through local updater dont reboot
flash twrp installer dont reboot
flash magisk on inactive sloth through magisk manager
or did you just flash the rom through updater and reboot?

I ran through the standard upgrade process for root.
Uninstall Magisk and restore original images
update through settings > local upgrade with the full ota zip
install magisk to inactive slot. That keeps magisk installed and should let you reinstall the update.

Root Method and TWRP for the Samsung A20e - Help - Willing to Pay/Donate

Hi,
I have the Samsung A20e, the bootloader is unlocked, however, i have followed guides from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a20/how-to/root-samsung-galaxy-a20-rooting-guide-t3954872
and
https://www.androidinfotech.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a20e-pie/
and
https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-galaxy-a20-a20e/
all have failed......
I am more than happy to help test if a device is needed
I have tried partching the entire AP file using Magisk and I get a successful flash but when i try to boot it gives a vbmeta warning.
when i patch only the boot.img using magisk, i get the same error.
If I try to flash the "unofficial Twrp Image" i get a boot loop....
Please can someone help me get my a20e rooted at least, TWRP would be amazing to have but there are no custom roms anyway, so root is the most important for me so i can use titanium backup, energized ad blocking etc......(a lot of apps i have need root access)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me
thanks

You should try to patch your device's boot.img with Magisk and flash it via Odin.

Seems like you also need to flash some kind of vbmeta image. I don't have a lot of experience with newer devices, so i won't be able to help you.

So copy the whole AP file to the phone, patch it with magisk and then flash the ap file?

Here is what I did.
DL Zarchiever and Magisk Manager
Copy AP file to phone.
Open Zarchiever and extract AP file.
Extract boot.img.lz4 to get boot.img.
Open Magisk Manager and tap install and select patch.
Rename magisk_patched.img to boot.img.
Open Zarchiver and compress boot.img using tar format.
Open odin and flash boot.tar on AP.
When the phone boots you'll be greeted w/somewhat looks like recovery mode just select factory reset.
Note: Enabled OEM unlock and USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options and BL is unlocked on DL mode

I'll give it a try.... Thank you so much, I hope this works, I have had the phone for 3 weeks now and I can't use it because I need titanium to restore all my stuff.
The smart switch app is terrible, it messes everything up, so I figured wait until I can root and use titanium

Yeah, I totally feel you. Did a lot of trial and error w/this phone but got it in the end.
Since you have Zarchiever installed you might want to edit your param file to remove those pesky boot warnings.
Put your BL file on phone.
Open Zarchiever and extract BL
Extract param.bin.lz4 and you'll get param.bin
Using Zarchiever copy and paste svb_orange.jpg and booting_warning.jpg to param.bin
Compress param.bin using tar format.
Open Odin and flash it on BL
Note: Make sure USB debugging is enabled and rooted already.

So I did what you suggested, I copied and patched the AP flashed and booted, but when i used a root checker it said i was not rooted.
So I flashed all the original AP, BL, CSC etc, the phone is now booting again.
There must be an extra step somewhere thats getting missed, is there some wipes or something i need to do after odin? Factory reset? Clear Cache

Ok So I tried this method again for the 3rd time, I did the following:
1: I took the whole AP file into the download directory
2: selected to patch a file from inside Magisk 7.4
3: it did its thing and created magick_patched.tar
4: Copied magick_patched back to my computer
5: I flashed that in AP, removed the tick from auto reboot
6: then booted to recovery and did a factory reset/cleared cache
7: booted fine into
8: reinstalled magisk manager and it tells me that Magisk 20.1 is not installed
There is nothing wrong with that process is there?

Hi,
I tried this again as per the link you sent, this is what i did:
1: extracted the boot.img.lz4
2: used zarchiver to get the boot.img
3: used magisk 7.4 to patch the boot.img
4: used zarchiver to compress to boot.tar
5: flashed the boot.tar in AP in Odin
6: rebooted to recovery and restored factory settings
7: rebooted system
It flashed fine and then also booted up, however the screen stays on for a few seconds then just displays black.
The back light is still on, I can see the screen glow slightly, but the colour of the display is blank and completely black, and I cant get the screen to come back on, so I reinstalled the latest magisk and I seem to have root (Hopefully) !!!!!
Lets see what happens in a day or 2!!!

HELP - Is there any straightforward guide on how to root the latest OP7TPro firmware?

Hi guys, I have the OP7TP ME. I have always managed to root it through:
1)extraction of boot_a.img
2)patch file with magisk
3)flash file through adb
4)boot phone and patch again through magisk direct in order to recover wifi functionality
with the latest update though this process doesn't work anymore. Step 4 does not work which means if I do the first 3 and boot the phone, I have no wifi and after a while the phone crashes and reboots.
The only way to fix my phone so that it works again, is to reflash the full official update file.
Any help will be well appreciated on how to get root access without issues again.
Many thanks in advance

Don't extract boot_a but extract boot.img which is from the current partition. Also I'd flash via fastboot. You don't need to patch with Magisk again if it's already patched.

Hi thanks.. Unfortunately that's the guide I followed and it doesn't work no wifi and crash... Have you managed to root yours this way, with the latest firmware? Also I noticed that the latest magisk manager I have, doesn't offer the two options Prserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity & Preserve force encryption...they are just not present in the application....

Use beta magisk manager and try again
Also the lack of wifi is usually a mismatched boot to os ver
I'm on latest global ver of op7tp and rooted this way

Excellent! Thank you.
For others when installing oos update; disable magical modules, install oos update, before restarting install Magisk to both slots using the app, reboot, enable modules if any.

Are you sideloading the zip, or maybe when you downloaded the magisk zip, your Mac automatically unzipped it so you now have a directory.
I haven't used this root method, but I use Macs once in a while, and that's one of my annoyances with one of the Macs I use.

You have to just make sure you have the magisk zip file instead of an unzipped version. Next time I'm working on a mac, I can play around to see if I can replicate your problem.

I finally had some time to try this out on a Mac and everything worked out for me. I couldn't get the same error message you were getting. I did use Magisk v22 though. The only thing you'll have to do is rename the .apk to .zip.

Hey there, bro. seems like the Recovery link is down, please help me out

Thank you.
Works on OnePlus 8 India.
Since the recovery link in OP is deleted, I extracted the latest one myself.
Here's the recovery from crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210517-instantnoodle-v7.6

This didn't work for me, I got this error after running sideload. Any idea how to resolve this?
