After a restart this morning I am in a bootloop. Only thing I'm able to enter stable is fastboot.
Tried to flash the stock fastboot rom but MiFlash and manually is giving me an error when trying to write the partition.
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'partition' (33 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.006s]
writing 'partition'...
FAILED (remote: failed to write partition)
If I flash TWRP through fastboot I can't enter it with volume up. If I use the bat version to flash TWRP, it restarts with TWRP but after a few seconds in TWRP it reboots into the bootloop.
Anyone any clue before I have to send my phone back to China :/
Use Mi Flash Tool - Install stock recovery
Its a common issue while using Custom recovery. so, to get life to your mobile you have to install stock recovery.
(search google if you cant able to find, because of xda limitation on New Users i cant post any external link here. Sorry!)
Step 1: Download MiFlash Tool & download your fastboot rom.
Step 2: Turn off the device. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable
Step 3: Double click on the downloaded ROM file to decompress it. Open the file folder for the decompressed ROM pack, and copy its path on the computer.
Step 4: Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install (if there is security warning, select 'Run'). After installation is completed, open MiFlash.exe and paste into the address bar the ROM file folder path copied in the last step.
Click on the first button (circled out in yellow) to Refresh, and MiFlash should automatically recognize the device. Then click the second button (circled out in red) to flash the ROM file to the device.
Step 5: Wait until the progress bar inside MiFlash turns fully green, which means the ROM has been successfully installed. Then your device should automatically boot to the new version.
Step 6: Wait till the phone boot up - at first it may take more than 5 Min.Be patient with it,
Note: Using MiFlash Tool :
At first try to flash without losing data, if doesn't helps, then select Flash All. (for my Redmi 2 prime it worked with flash all). If any error let me know in comment section.:good::good:

Thanks for your suggestion kalachar.
MiFlash is giving me the same error though.
0x8000405: FAILED (remote:failed to write partition)
I managed to enter TWRP once without it rebooting, I checked everything and the problem seems to be nothing from internal memory can be mounted.
I could only mount persist and modem.
Try Full format,
Wipe>Format>type "Yes"
wait for it to complete and then reboot
if the problem still,try flash in Mi flash,.
Hope it useful,.
nothing happen after applying this method

Hey Guys. This guide will help you if
1. If Using Custom Rom and want to revert to latest stock rom.
2. If Stock Rom got corrupted or became laggy.
3. You want to reinstall stock rom.
Warning:
1. Method 1 require unlocked bootloader. If you want to unlock then go Here . Method 2 doesn't. Don't worry.
2. This will clean your phone just like new phone.
3. First read the post twice carefully then proceed.
4. ALL .bat FILES TO BE RUN IN FASTBOOT MODE ONLY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT FASTBOOT MODE THEN GOOGLE "HOW TO GET FASTBOOT MODE IN ASUS ZENFONE 2
5. I may change name of files in folder. Use common sense to identify them.
Pre-requisites:
1. Charge your phone atleast 60%.
2. Backup any important data you might not wanna loose to either sd card or usb drive or pc.
3. Copy the rom zip in the sd card of your phone. (The one with size in GB)
4. Android USB Driver should be installed already, if it is not then install all drivers in the "Drivers Folder".
5. Enable USB Debugging.
For that go to "Settings" ,Scroll to bottom goto "about", goto "Software Information", tap "Build number" upto 7 times or till it
says "You are a developer now". Then go to "Settings" you will find "Developer Options", open it and enable "USB Debugging"
4. Common sense, patience.

FAQ
1. Having problems with device connection? like waiting for device.
Sol. Make sure you have enabled USB Debugging (Not applicable for BL Unlocking and TWRP Flashing)
Uninstall all drivers previously installed on computer(every driver of any device)
Reboot your computer. And then install all drivers given in the driver folder.
If the problem persists, try different computer and different usb cable.
2. Facing permission denied in fastboot mode or while running script files.
Sol. Try disabling your lock screen security to none.

Would it not be easier to get the stock raw image and just flash it with the asus flash tool?

Thanks for suggestion. But the reasons are
First thing is stock raw image of latest version is very difficult to find.
Second thing sometime asus flash tool stops responding. So you have to wait again for 30 minutes. Also it doesn't show progress sometimes.

I have the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML with sound issues, (it's only when the phone rings that the speaker works) and I put it into recovery mode to wipe cache/data, but it got stuck while doing that and I forced it off. But now, it's stuck at the Asus Boot logo with the rotating icon underneath.
Please help!!!!
Hello, my 551ml has stock LP, it's rooted with bootloader unlocked and Xposed installed. If I want to install the latest MM with through the raw flashing tool, should I install the MM bootloader first or it is included into the raw file? Thank

Ok. humm, in AFT, it recognize my phone. (there is no OS on it), i choose the good model, i choose the good firmware, but i got this error in a box
"Can't open file 'SERIALNUMBER_frp_request_server_log.txt' (error 5:denied access)" i can only press OK
and now the button under "state" is red and under description, it's " check the detected serial number failure (not found the device of "SERIALNUMBER") "

Anyone ever had this problem?

[UPDATE]: USE THIS ONLY FOR NOUGAT 7 OR 7.1! THERE IS A DIFFERENT GUIDE FOR ANDROID OREO!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/how-to/root-xperia-x-f5122-android-n-34-2-2-47-t3594502 (Written by YasuHamed, not me!)
If you are not interested in android Oreo, or you want to go back to Nougat, this guide is still valid! [End of Update]
This is a guide for newbies or for people that are simply confused. If you have any questions, you can always ask me, and I will reply. but please make sure you haven't made mistakes and do not ask about things that are already stated here. Let's go!
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, NOTES
-make sure you have installed ADB : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
-make sure ADB can read your phone with the correct drivers installed. If you have trouble with that, read "DRIVERS" section
!It is absolutely necessary to install the drivers correctly!
-Backup your stuff if you have any, you will need to delete everything from the phone
-Enable USB debugging
-Note: some of these instructions apply to Windows OS only!
-Note: links to downloads have been shortcutted as much possible to make it easier for you!
-Find some stock roms here! https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/how-to/sonyx-f5121-downgrade-8-0-0-to-7-1-1-to-t3754986
(Credit: HEKER510)
-Warning: you will lose your warranty!
-I am not responsible for any damage done to your device.
BACKUP DRM KEYS (OR WORKAROUND)
You may want to unlock your bootloader. If you unlock it without backing up the DRM keys, you will lose them. I did that mistake and I regret it. If you already did, there is an alternative solution, skip to step 8.
1) If you are running android 7 nougat, you will need to downgrade to MM. If you are running MM, skip to step 7.
2) You will need to wipe everything before rolling back, so if you have any data back it up
3) Download any stock MM 6.0.1 firmware for the xperia X. You can find one here : https://mega.nz/#!1xRj2CYS Decryption key: !qBVi7yky8AL84eUF3bpTTGQ2YmN0ePCjc-eSDZGIZCI
Watch out: if you have the dual SIM model, F5122, you need to download accordingly!
For more firmwares, check "BEFORE DOING ANYTHING"
4) Download the latest flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Upon installation, tick on fastboot, flashmode drivers! If it didn't ask you, go to the installation folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe. Please read "DRIVERS" section!
5) Flash the .tft file
How to flash?
0. Go to "C:\Users\[Your PC Name]\.flashTool\firmwares" , and put your firmware .ftf file in there!
1. Open Flashtool and click on the lightning bolt icon (first one from the left)
2. In the prompt, choose flashmode.
3. Under firmware, click on the version you put (It should probably only be one option)
4. Under wipe , tick everything. Under the others, do not make any changes.
5. Click "Flash"
6. When the popup appears, connect your device. It needs to be powered off, and connected while you are holding the
"volume down" button.
7. Wait for it to finish.
8. Done. Boot up the device, it might take some time to open so don't worry.

Click to collapse
6)If your phone bootloops, try flashing again or a different firmware and make sure you followed the steps correctly.
7) Once your phone successfully boots android MM, use Dirtycow to get your DRM keys out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236
8) If you unlocked the bootloader before backing up your keys, you can use DRM kernel fix. You can get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/kernel-drm-fix-nougat-t3530849 Before using it check out the custom rom that includes this fix and other things.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
This is relatively easy and you can follow official sony instructions to do it.
1) Go to your phone settings, developer options, and enable OEM unlock
"But there is no developer options!" -Go to the bottom of your settings, system, about phone, and tap multile times on "Build Number", also at the bottom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) If you haven't already , install ADB fastboot and configure drivers (Link on top )
3) Follow the steps on the Sony website to get your unlock code: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/
4) After unlocking, a warning message on boot is normal!
INSTALL RECOVERY
Installing TWRP on your xperia X is very important, since you can flash zips and img files so easily, plus wipe, backup and other features.
1) Download the TWRP .img file: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=197369 (Credit: eagleeyetom )
2) Make sure you have USB debugging enabled
3) Open your downloaded twrp folder
4) Run CMD in that folder (shift + right click inside the folder, Open CMD here )
5) Connect your Xperia X to your PC
6) Type these lines:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [where recovery.img is your twrp file name]
fastboot reboot
7) If no errors, twrp is now installed. Once your phone boots , turn it off,. To access TWRP recovery hold power button and volume down button until the TWRP menu appears.
STOCK ROM, ROOT
If you just want to root and not interested in additional features and tweaks, you can simply flash SU through TWRP to get your phone rooted.
Note: Current best stock ROM available: 7.1.1 (252) - better features than older ver, and good battery life.
0) Install your desired stock firmware using the exact same previous instructions, (under DRM section) with flashtool.
1) Download SuperSu
Or magisk, using YasuHamed guide mentioned on top, but I have not tested with anything other than Oreo 8.0
Use magisk if you want more stability / root features (like hide root from apps, modules )
2) copy it anywhere on your phone
3) Run TWRP
4) Tap on install
4) Flash the file
5) Reboot, you are now rooted
6) Insert your DRM keys if you have them
Custom ROMS
After unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP this is the best way to go in order to get full root, tweaks.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/rom-xperia-x-pexorom-v1-0-0-f5122-f5121-t3590552
^ This is a very good custom ROM made by prmk74. You can see its features in his thread.
1) Download the rom and copy it to your phone
2) Run TWRP
note: It is recommended to wipe dalvik, cache, data ( your storage partition doesn't need to be wiped)
3) Tap install, find your downloaded file and execute
note: It is recommended to wipe dalvik, cache, data ( your storage partition doesn't need to be wiped)
4) Follow on-screen instructions, do not stop the booting after finishing the installation, it will take some time
5) Insert your DRM keys if you have them
6) For those who lost their keys: Now the functions like vivid image mode are working properly.
DRIVERS
For Windows 8/8.1/10 users, how to solve driver problems:
1) Press the Windows key + R together and in the ‘Run’ box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
B) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers. Go to the flashtool install location and run the drivers.exe again, check fastboot and flashmode
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machine
TO CONCLUDE:
This is what you may want to do to get the most out of your new xperia x:
1) Backup DRM
2) Unlock BL
3) Install TWRP
4) Flash Persian (or a different rom) through TWRP (And subscribe to the thread so you receive updates)
5) Restore DRM

Thanks for this, I need some help!
All was fine until I tried flashing the recovery, comes back "partition unknown" error. I was unable to bring the device up under an adb device only as a fastboot device.
34.0.A.1.264_R3A firmware.
Different official sony driver (Sony bootloader guide driver didn't work)
Device now hangs on the Sony logo after boot messgae warning "OEM bootloader unlocked, device not trusted," any help would be appreciated.

These USB drivers are very annoying to work with. I got mine to finally work using a program called ADB driver installer. http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ Choose automated installation and try what I said. I believe it should fix your problem, after installing the drivers reboot and flash again.
Other than that, I have to ask are you 1000% sure you used the exact commands?
I saw another thread someone mistook
"flash recovery recovery.img" for "flash recovery.img"
"recovery" should be included before the recovery file name

Why didn't the sony guide work? It worked for me. Just so you know, the "device cant be trusted" message is appearing on everyones' phones after unlocking the bootloader, it's not a problem or something

I know, as I said there is room for improvement. The reason I did not include it is because I never did it myself, so I don't want to write something wrong or something that could lead to problems. I write something only if I am 100% sure. If anyone of you is kind to offer that piece so the guide is complete I will be glad

Working now, used a previous version of twrp by mistake. Using latest build works fine now, have to wait to get home from work to proceed with the rest, annoying procedures this stuff but your guide is great.

since there is no offcial twrp for X out yes and only DORA (XA) is available) even XA don't work for X
so either twrp 2.8, 3.0 or 3.1 any should just boot in order to let us flash superSU.

Everything is working good for me now, the only issue now is restoring the DRM keys, has anyone found a credible source for doing this on this device?
How can I be sure I have a full root? I can't seem to be able to uninstall some of the bloatware only disable it!

Well titanium backup can assure you but I don't see why you wouldn't have full root... You need an app uninstaller to uninstall bloatware, it can't be done through the settings you know that right
Hey ! Today i will give you all the different ways/steps for root your Mi A2 easily.
+ How to manually create patched_boot.img for your version (beta...) without extrernal help.

Summary
- Part 1 : Install drivers and unlock bootloader. Credit to @balazs312
- Part 2 : Root with 2 ways
- Bonus : Backup boot.img and make patched_boot.img
- Part 3 : OTA
Part 1 :
So, First you need to install drivers and unlock your phone bootloader. Skip to part 2 if already done.
1. Installing drivers & Preparing PC
- Download this and extract it
- Open and install "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe"
- When it is done, go to "Drivers" folder and start "miflash_unlock.exe"
- Click on the gear icon top right corner and click on "Check" next to "Click the button to install the drive"
- Do as the installer says
- Hopefully the drivers has been installed so we're done with it, let's head on the next step.
2. Preparing phone for unlocking
- On your phone navigate to Settings->System->About phone and tap the build number until you see "You are developer"
- Go back once and you'll see a new menu called "Developer options"
- Tap on it and search an option called "OEM Unlocking", enable it
- We're done here. Let's keep going
3. Entering fastboot and unlocking bootloader (MAKE A BACKUP of your data!)
- Hold your power button down, tap on restart and hold your volume DOWN button while it resets until you see the Mi bunny doing its thing
- Now we're in Fastboot mode, hooray
- Download this zip and extract it on your PC
- Open it and type "cmd" (without the quotations) in the file manager header where you see (This computer>somethingsomething>Mi A2 fastboot), don't be afraid just type it in, and hit enter and you'll enter into command prompt
- Now we are ready for action
- Type these commands one by one:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
After this, you will see a warning message that your bootloader is unlocked and your data is not safe, blah blah... Just ignore it everytime you power on your phone.
Part 2 :
So there are currently two ways to root his phone. Let's start with the first.
Methode 1 : We will use the new temp twrp. Method by me.
1. Download files...
- Download this TWRP.
- Place it in your adb folder.
- Download Magisk-v17.2_a and Magisk-v17.2_b.
- Copy these 2 zips in your phone internal storage.
2. Check current-slot...
- Plugin your phone to you pc
- Navigate to your settigs on your phone.
- Open Developer settings
- Enable Usb Debugging
- A pop up should appear on your phone scren, hit and box and autorize the pc.
- on your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "adb reboot bootloader" , your device should reboot to fastboot
- type "fastboot getvar current-slot". Remember if the result is a or b.
3. Root using temporally twrp
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- On your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-jasmine-20181020.img"
- Your phone now reboot into twrp, it down't flash it, so after a reboot twrp will be gone.
- If twrp ask a password for decrypt data put your phone PIN and validate.
- Click on install and select Magisk-v17.2_a if the result in Step 2. is A, and Magisk-v17.2_b if result is B and swipe to install.
- Then select Reboot.
Now you have Magisk 17.2 installed on your phone, and twrp is gone after reboot. You can select beta in Magisk settings and update to 17.3 if you want.
Methode 2 : We will use patched_boot.img.
1. Where to find patched_boot.img ?
- Go here and check if there is your build version. If yes dowload the patched_boot.img file ( need to be on pc ) and skip to step 2. If not continue.
- If you can't find your correct build patched_boot.img (Because you are on the beta, and nobody share the file or something like that....) you can easily make your own using temp twrp. Go to Bonus part, make your patched_boot.img and continue.
2. Pepare files.
- Copy the patched_boot.img in your adb folder
- Be sure to rename it to "patched_boot.img"
- Download latest Magisk Manager apk here (currently v6.0.1)
- Copy the apk on your phone storage.
3. Install Magisk
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- Open a fastboot command prompt on your pc.
- Type "fastboot boot patched_boot.img"
- Your phone will reboot, put your pin....
- Go in your prefer file explorer and Install the magisk apk.
- Now open Magisk Manager app
- Click Install, direct install. Wait for the process
- And click reboot.
Now you have Magisk 17.2 installed on your phone. You can select beta in Magisk settings and update to 17.3 if you want.
Bonus
So, i will show you how to backup your current bot img. And how to make your own patched_boot.img, so people who are on Beta OTA can root there phone without any external help...
1. Backup the boot.img
- Download this TWRP.
- Place it in your adb folder.
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- On your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-jasmine-20181020.img"
- Your phone now reboot into twrp, it down't flash it, so after a reboot twrp will be gone.
- If twrp ask a password for decrypt data put your phone PIN and validate.
- In TWRP, click on "Advanced"
- Click "File Manager"
- Navigate to /dev/block/platform/soc/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name
- You will se a lot of files, and if you look you will see 3 important files, boot, boot_a and boot_b.
- Click on the "boot" file
- Click "Copy File"
- Navigate to /sdcard
- Click the blue arrow and swipe to confirm
- Click reboot
- Copy the file on your pc, and rename it to "boot.img" instead of "boot".
Now you have backup your stok boot.img you can use it for stock or whatever you want....
2. Create the patched_boot.img file
- Download latest Magisk Manager apk here (currently v6.0.1)
- Install the apk on your phone
- Open Magisk Manager
- Go to settings , click Update Channel and select Beta
- Return to home of Magisk Manager
- Click Install, then Boot image file patch ( don't know the correct typo because for me the app is in french, champion du monde !! xD ) and wait for the end of the process.
Done you now create your own patched_boot.img ! Enjoy !!
Part 3 :
So, now i will explain you how to install OTA when you have magisk.
- First, disable Automatic system updates in developer options, so it won't install OTAs without your acknowledgement.
- Open Magisk Manager, click Uninstall, then Restore Images. Don't reboot !
- Now Search for update and wait for the process. BUT do not press the "Restart now" or "Reboot" button !
- Open Magisk Manager, hit Install, then Install to inactive slot.
- Reboot when it's done.
If it don't work (strange) and ota failed, you can find your stock boot.img for your build version here, or backup your boot.img using the[ B]1.[/B] of the Bonus part and flash it using the command "fastboot flash boot_( your current slot) boot.img" (you can check your current slot with command "fastboot getvar current-slot).

Hi
Right now im on OPM1.171019.011.V9.6.13.0ODIMIFE (5 sept 2018) rooted with magisk
I just want to update and re-root, the painless style. I dont want to flash a ****load of stuff to have a functionning phone.
Can anyone confirm that step 3 is ok? Thats the same method than for MI A1, and it was only half functionnal, i dont want to play with fire.
After having killed the IMEI numbers and the persist partition of the A1, it took me 2 weeks to repair, I dont want to **** up this one too. Hell no.

this is safe. but if you want to can just use patched boot method.
I used the method described in Step 3 to install the September OTA (V9.6.13.0) and re-install Magisk. It worked like a charm, but I am trying to repeat the method to install the October update without success. The OTA updater downloads the update, and starts installing it, but it fails miserably every time.
I have even completely uninstalled Magisk and flashed the img from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/others/files/MiA2/
But It does not work, the OTA installer always fails.
I'm clueless, what can I do?

it's because during the ota process, the current slot change. but you can back to stock September ROM, then update. and after that root using my second post https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-2-minutes-magisk-installation-t3856980/amp/
Thread closed at OP request
Magisk+TWRP for Exynos ONLY
Hi, there are some tutorials out here on the forum but some are outdated, others have dead links and other mix some steps from exynos and snapdragon, so this is a guide on how I did it, My device is the International Exynos LTE Dual sim variant or SM-N985F-DS running android 11 (oneUI 3.1) patch from april 2021 with security patch from may 2021 but this has been tested on many exynos variants.
See DR.Ketan post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-root-n20-ultra-n986b-n9860.4147023/
I based my guide on @dr.ketan 's guide and some bits from the comments and references from that post, so all credit goes to him and the people he reference on his post.
First of all as dr.ketan said:
NOTICE :
Before you move further, make clear that rooting device -
- Your warranty will be void
- Some of functions may not work on rooted device, some function may get back with un rooting, some may never.
- All your data on device will be lost
- Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually soft but can be hard brick too) your device, so follow it on your own risk!
If you are ready with condition, move further -

1.- BACK UP ALL OF YOUR DATA, copy your files to a PC, make backups on google and samsung clouds and any other cloud service backup you have (whatsapp for example) becuase in this process all data is wiped TWICE.
2.- Prepare your PC:
I personally recommend using a laptop or a pc with an UPS (backup battery) just to be safe.
2.1 Create a folder fo the files and create 2 folders inside named OLD and NEW (this is merely to keep files organized since they CAN be confused (see next steps), unless said otherwise ALL files and folders go in the OLD folder.
2.2 Download ODIN [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.3 Download YOUR phone stock firmware (you have several options for this, I personally use sammobile but here you have to google on your own. Remember to extract the contents and you should have 5 files.
NOTE(hehe): to get your exact model name you can check on Settings>About phone>Software information>Baseband version.
2.4 Download Magisk APK and ZIP [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.5 Download Multidisabler ZIP [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.6 Download TWRP recovery [CHECK FILES BELOW] and place it in the "NEW" folder you created on step 2.1
IMPORTANT: use only THIS recovery from THIS file, since it's modified for exynos and also to skip a step on the process.
3.- Prepare your Phone:
3.1 Copy the AP file from your PC (the one from the stock firmware) and the magisk.apk file you downloaded, to your phone.
3.2 Install the magisk app (the apk file)
3.3 Open the magisk app and select the first option, there you will have an option to select a file, select the AP file you copied from your pc an tap continue (or start I dont remember)
3.4 Now you will have a "Masgisk_patched-*********.tar" file on your download folder on your phone, copy that file to your PC and place it in the "NEW" folder you created on step 2.1.
4.- Now we start the process of modifying the phone
4.1 UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: on your phone go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>SOFTWARE INFORMATION and tap the "Build Number" repeatedly until you see "You are now a developer" (or something similar)
4.2 Go back to SETTINGS and now you will have at the bottom a new menu called "Developer options", enter and toggle on the OEM unlocking option, this will prompt some warnings and an assistant, follow the instructions and when you finish turn off your phone.
4.3 Press and hold the VOL+ and VOL- buttons at the same time and connect the phone to your PC WHILE HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS, this will prompt DOWNLOAD MODE on your phone and you will see 3 options, Press and hold the VOL+ button to unlock the bootloader, now your phone will reboot and wipe all of your data.
4.4 Confirm OEM Unlock is enabled: after the reboot you will get the initial setup process again (as if the phone were new) skip though all (because it will be wiped again) and repeat the process on step 4.1
Now the OEM unlock setting should be GRAYED OUT and with this your phone is ready to be modified
5.- Flashing custom binaries
5.1 Turn off the phone and put it into DOWNLOAD MODE again (see step 4.3) but this time use the first option, that is, press the VOL+ button ONCE, this will enter DOWNLOAD mode and put the phone in flashing state.
5.2 Open ODIN on your PC as administrator
5.3 On the Options tab UNTICK the "Auto Reboot" option
5.4 Click on the AP button and locate the "Masgisk_patched-*********.tar" on the "NEW" folder.
5.5 Click Start, wait until you see PASS on the top left corner
5.6 Click on the AP button again and locate the "Exynos no vbmeta recovery.tar" file on the "NEW" folder.
5.7 Click Start, wait until you see PASS on the top left corner.
5.8 THIS STEP IS CRITICAL: disconnect your phone from your PC, now READ AHEAD before doing anything.
Here you will have to do a combination of button presses to boot into recovery. Once your phone is disconnected press and hold VOL- and POWER BUTTON (side key) for approximately 7 seconds, once the phone screen goes black immediately release the VOL- button and press the VOL+ button WHILE KEEP PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON. You will see 1 or 2 warning and a glimpse of the samsung logo, keep pressing the buttons until you see the TWRP (Team Win Recovery) splash screen, at this point you can release the buttons.
5.9 now in the recovery navigate to WIPE tab > FORMAT DATA > and type yes to continue (read instructions on screen). DO NOT RESTART. go back to the starting screen and then navigate to REBOOT > REBOOT TO RECOVERY.
5.10 Your phone will reboot into recovery on its own, no need to press any buttons.
5.11 Once inside the Recovery, connect the phone to your PC, after a few seconds the phone will connect normally as if it were in the OS, now copy this files to your phone from your PC:
Magisk.zip
Multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip
5.12 Go to INSTALL tab on your phone and select the multidisabler zip and install it (it will prompt you to swipe to install), once finished tap on WIPE CACHE/DATA.
5.13 Now do the same with magisk.zip but this time DO NOT tap the "wipe cache/data" button, instead tap on REBOOT.
6.- First Boot
NOTE: First boot takes a while but if your phone is not showing the initial setup screen in max 15 minutes something went wrong and you will have to flash back to stock firmware and start over.
6.1 Once you boot do the usual initial setup, here you can do it normally and restore your cloud backups.
6.2 When you are all set up, look for the MAGISK app, open it and follow the instructions. Your phone will reboot so make sure you are all set up BEFORE opening the app.
6.3 ALL DONE!
Hi there,
Thanks for the updated guide!
Maybe worth mentioning that when done, to get back into TWRP power down phone -> connect USB ->press & hold Power AND VOL- until black screen (7sec) -> Quickly press VOL+ with still holding Power button.
Would you know how to update firmware to latest security patches (downloaded from SamMobile for example) now phone is rooted with Magisk, with TWRP recovery and multidisabled?
Regards,
I followed all directions, and Magisk and TWRP are installed. However, I do not have root access. I have an S10e (SM-G970F, Exynos). To get root access, you have to do the bixby, volume up, and power together. I always get to TWRP. When I had only Magisk installed, I always got stock recovery. How do I get the keys correct?
Also, I understand you must have something in the USB port. I tried mostly connected to the computer, sometimes to a charger, and sometimes not at all. Nothing can get Magisk root access unless it boots me to recovery, and then I can just reboot to system (no root) or recovery (same place, still no root).

Only thing I can think of is you are not flashing the correct magisk zip file on TWRP, try downloading it from magisk's official site. Is the same file for the both procedures, you just have to change the file extension accordingly (.apk or .zip)

I cannot read everything it is so small, so there may be some typos
I found out what I did wrong. I am using SM-G970F (S10e), whereas this forum is for SM-N985F.
Great instructions, though.
Thank you. Just wish I could get root. I cannot because of the updated firmware (August 2021).

There is just this part that I did differently.
First, to start flashing the twrp at step 5.6 I had to restart the phone in download mode because odin would be stuck at "setup connection" if i tried to flash it just after the file before.
And at step 5.8 I had to keep the phone connected to the PC otherwise it would not boot in recovery menu.
I did all the phone setup and installed "Riru" then "Universal SafetyNet Fix" magisks modules to pass the Safetynet.
I just have one question if someone can tell me if there is a way to not display the bootloader warning message when the phone is booting please.
