Hi, can anyone confirm that this instructions works
SM-J530F/DS
Confirmed working! Thanks @Abdullah_a86 :good:
Twrp install errors
So, i flashed the twrp with odin after enabling 2 things in developer options .
Good, i entered the TWRP menu from phone and formated data , after that when i was trying to install the Magisk Root it always show errors like:
E: TOUCH_DRAG (or HOLD or REPEAT or RELEASE): and 2 numbers here like 575,1000 (example)
Please help me.
The phone is working but i think twrp is broken idk please help.
Thanks
Thanks!
who can, adapt to SM-J530FM recovery ???
(FM - version)
Does it work on the dual sim model?
Does it work on J530F/DS? The dual sim model, thanx in advance
Not working -- UNSTABLE !!!
Yesterday I've followed this root guide to root my J530F (NOT Pro-edition, NOT dual sim) and it worked great but for short time. The first root app I've installed is "Root Checker" to confirm that root is installed correctly - and it was. Then I was installing "Lucky Patcher" app and there was no prompt for root access from SuperSU. I went back to "RootChecker" it was telling me that my root is not available.
Then I rebooted my phone and I got famous Samsung "Black screen of death" - J5 logo appears and then blank, nothing on the screen. I got in Download mode without a problem, re-flashed my firmware (AP) and works fine.
Now it feels stupid, while I triggered KNOX to 0x1 and I don't have a root. I haven't tried this TWRP recovery because I'm afraid that it won't work and that I'll have to format my phone again and start from the beggining.
It is very important that you guys share your experience, so the other knows if this is working or not.
Anyone tried this custom TWRP Recovery???
in my Experience the best way to root j530f is trwrp+ refined kernel

I've just tried to install TWRP over stock firmware (not rooted) and I got bootloop. I can enter TWRP, but Android can't start. I guess I will wait for some time while stable custom recovery is released. I use this phone everyday, so I can't deal with all of these problems...
In my case root and recovery from this post is not working.
Hope there will be official solution soon.
Thanks!
Guys, someone please help, i have J5 PRO 2017 SM-J530G, i did a search on all XDA and did not found twrp for my model "G", found only for models Y and F, so i must ask if that version exists, and where i can find it ! Second question would be, if i can't find one especifically for G model, if i can use Y or F model of twrp ! thanks in advance for someone that can help !

Same problem in my case.
Hi. I have problems with the Google Assistant after rooting it. It stucks after telling it a command and suddenly crashes. Why does anything to do this with the root? Google Assistant and root haven't any relationship!!! I also have problems with an app called HelloTalk because it stucks in the chat screen too.
I had to flash my phone back to Stock ROM, because it gets stable again.
Thank you!

Anyone can help?
I've let the MagiskManager upgrade Magisk from 14.x to 1.50. Then I rebooted the phone, and then it was stuck at the pulsating SAMSUNG logo.
So, next step would be obvious: get into TWRP and install Magisk 14.0.
And so I did, and so it failed. This time I got a bootloop. The "Galaxy S7 powered by Android" thing appears for a few seconds, and then vibrates and starts over. And over, and over, and over.
So then, I "installed" the Magisk Uninstaller. Thinking to get rid of all traces of Magisk that introduced this problem in the first place.
So I did, and now I'm back at the first problem: stuck at booting.
Then installing Magisk 14 AND wiping cache&dalvik: boot loop
Then I installed the uninstaller again, then Magisk 15, and wipe the cache&dalvik. And it's back at being stuck while booting again.
Brilliant. What do I do to fix this?
Are you using a custom ROM, or a port ROM, or a custom kernel?
It's all stock, except for it being rooted.
I'm having the same issue. Canadian S7 W8, Stock ROM with root, Magisk 14, upgraded to 15 using direct install through magisk manager.
Yes, exactly that. No offense, but that's helping neither yourself nor me nor anyone else. Have you been able to figure anything out?
Maybe how to produce some kind of log output?...
Same thing happened to me just now. Never would have thought that upgrading through the Magisk app would cause this. I've tried all of the above and have also tried installing v 12.0 but still no dice.
I even tried a factory reset and still no dice. This is seriously infuriating.
Guess I will have to reflash everything and start fresh. If anyone else has any other ideas I'm all ears.
I'd like to know what the phone is actually *doing* when it's stuck. How can we get to know this?
`fastboot logcat` and `adb logcat` both keep waiting for a device that will not connect. Something does connect, christ knows what, but certainly no adb or fastboot device.
@fattyspecial
"reflash everything and start fresh" can you explain what exactly this comprises? What should I do?

Mate 8 running 7.0 stock except rooted, running Magisk 14, did the same thing and I'm in the same boat. Have also tried removing magisk, reinstalling 14 no dice. Have not factory reset yet (trying everything else before that step) but it looks like it won't help.

Completely reflash the entire stock rom with ODIN and then re-root and reconfigure my entire phone. About the biggest bother imaginable.
I'm trying to re-flash only a new boot.img (or new kernel) through twrp right now. If I can get that to work I'll let you know right away.
---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------
FIXED IT!
Ok here's what I did. Maybe not a perfect solution but I am out of bootloop and phone is working and root is working too.
I had to install a custom kernel. I'm guessing this replaces the corrupted boot.img file. So you will need to be rooted and have a custom recovery like TWRP.
Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/kernel-tgpkernel-t3462897 and scroll down to the part that says: DOWNLOAD VIA ANDROIDFILEHOST for N version and download the zip file.
Transfer the TGPKernel zip to your external SD card (either with android file transfer if on mac like me or with an SD card reader).
Flash the zip in TWRP.
It will take a LONG time to reboot. Don't worry.
I chose to install root with Magisk and it ended up updating it to v15.0 and so far everything seems to be working well.
Hope this helps. That took a long time to figure out. Time for bed.
Ok, I'm still not in that loop... yet.
Ok, I'm still not in that loop... yet.
I selected installing the 15.0 Magisk zip file (from 14.0) using direct install, then did the reboot and I'm stuck at the pulsating SAMSUNG logo.
Can I do the same fix of fattyspecial without loosing anything on the S7?
I did the exact Magisk 15.0 zip update on my LG Nexus 5, with no problem, in less than a minute.

If you can' t solve download Magisk Uninstaller https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4370032&d=1514240372
and Magisk 14.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4264532&d=1504713887
Then reboot in Twrp (hope you have it) and flash
1 uninstaller
2 14.0
I had the magisk 14.5 and I installed the 15 via twrp on top, and it updated normal. Is there a problem updating this way?
@fattyspecial
I don't see why installing a custom kernel is a viable fix. Or a good idea. It seems random.
Maybe you can explain why this is a fix, and how the stock kernel makes the phone bootloop?
@Tribal123
I think you will find I've already tried it. I appreciate your contribution, but please do read my topic start.
Same here, updated from v14 to v15 and got a nice bootloop.
Huawei Mate 8 with Nougat (stock) and TWRP.
EDIT:
Solved!
Flashed my stock boot.img backup through TWRP, then booted my phone and downloaded v14, flashed v14 through TWRP, booted my phone again and downloaded v15 with Magisk Manager app and checked "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" and then tapped "Install" using "Direct Install (recommended)"

Because a custom kernel disables dm-verity. There's an issue, mainly on Samsung devices, with the dm-verity detection in Magisk v15.0. It's under investigation...
Meanwhile, flash a dm-verity disabler together with Magisk v15.0 and you should be good to go.
I'm fairly certain you need a custom kernel. I'm also on the S7 and without one I've always boot looped, I think it has to do with dm-verity.
EDIT: I didn't notice there was a second page so I guess I didn't really say anything new, oh well, sorry!

Hello,
Here is the problem I personnaly had (solved now !) :
Initially, my wife had a G930F (samsung galaxy S7) and a Custom 7.0 rom (i think it was the "AlexNDR.G930FXXU2DRAG" rom...but I'm not sure at all because it was installed several months ago or even years) with TWRP as recovery and Magisk as root.
I saw that Magisk not working (since when ? I don't know because it was not my phone). So, I tried to update it via the Magisk application (the initial goal was to use then Titanium Backup).
Logically, the phone then rebooted to install the Magisk update... except that a Boot Loop appeared.
I then tried many things :
1° Downgrade or Upgrade the TWRP recovery to 3.0.0.0; to 3.2.2.0 and to 3.5.2.9.0 (thes recovery .img files are here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/herolte/)
=> It didn't work, and the bootloop continued (but, at the end, i keep the TWRP v.3.5.2.9.0)
2° I tried to uninstall and reinstall Magisk
(cf. the "Custom Recovery" tuto here : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root)
=> Failure. Still the BootLoop... (either with the .zip v19.1 or the .zip v23)
nb: I even tried to donwload other magisk files but still the same bootloop (cf.https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/collection-of-magisk-modules-v2.3575758/page-13#post-72542167)
4° I tried to change the kernel by using TGPKernel (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...2-30-tgpkernel-v6-15-5-3-18-140-esd2.3462897/)
=> Failure, the bootloop remained...
5° Finally, I found a solution :
a° I downloaded the rom "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6.zip" (via the following tutorial here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vbase-v7-4-encryption-support-jul-10.3592914/)
, more exactly at the following location : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489124
b° Then, as indicated in the tuto (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vbase-v7-4-encryption-support-jul-10.3592914/), I renamed the .zip downloaded on my PC to "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" (ps: so, i add "..._rescue.zip)
c° After that, I copied the file "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" on my micro SD.
d° In the recovery I finally installed the file "G930FXXU2DRAG_DevBase_v4.6_rescue.zip" and the phone restarted after a long time (or maybe 5 minutes, I didn't watch).
=> End of the bootloop and all data was preserved!!!
I have the PRA-LX1 with already unlocked bootloader and got it rooted with TWRP + Magisk before the last OTA.
I'm not a beginner with rooting this phone but only got Problems with installing any Treble Rom (tried Lineage and Aosp) and every try ended with a bootloop I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
So please can anyone give me a step by step instruction?
Which Treble Rom is a good one and recommended for this phone?
Which TWRP do I need?
And how exactly do I flash them correctly? What do I wipe?
Sorry for this noob questions but I failed so many times with Treble and don't want to do the reinstall with erecovery for the 10000 time :crying:
Thanks
Try to install the stock recovery and ramdisk.

Oh, well that's pretty cool. Either way, I just tried flashing Official Resurrection Remix GSI with no luck. Stock recovery, attempted to flash through fastboot and it just gives me a bootloop, exactly like TWRP does. Followed the guide you linked to etc, just keeps rebooting.

Well, I finally got it all working.
You know the risks, don't blame me if something goes wrong, I did these exact steps to manage to root my phone without breaking it. C432, Dual SIM and PRA-LX1.
Have everything stock before following this short guide: Firmware, all stock recovery etc.
Installing the ROM and GApps
First, download necessary GSI files.
(Personally I got Official Oreo Resurrection Remix, here).
(Although you could find yourself using virtually any other GSI, I like the look and feel of RR, though I'll be changing my boot animation with root). Many people would probably recommend you to use something like an AOSP, or LOS which I was also considering on installing. They may also come bundled with GApps, which would negate the later need for installation or download of separate GApps.
This may include GAPPS but you should understand this from the GSI page, so for example on RR I had to download both the latest base ROM .img and the micro GApps.
So to do this I had to use the right architecture (For the P8 Lite 2017, this is ARMx64, do your good research, since my problem was getting this wrong with my PRA-LX1 (Mine was A-ONLY), this stands for the base ROM and GApps.
After this I actually didn't use TWRP as user @ppdr07 advised. I followed the guide he linked us to and did as so, without following the -u command, since it wasn't working for me (didn't affect anything, try it, if it doesn't work, just take that bit out).
The ROM ended up installing and posting through, everything set up perfectly.
After this I was like "Huh, so what now? How am I to flash GApps on this without TWRP?". I went for it and booted into fastboot where I flashed Askuccio's TWRP for hi6250 devices. At this point I worried that the ROM wouldn't post again - though it did, so from there I enabled dev options and switched on advanced power options just for ease of usage. From there I rebooted straight to recovery which posted fine, too.
At this point, you need to flash the GApps. Go for the one that the original GSI page recommends. Flash it to the System Image partition. Don't wipe anything. At this point I recommend that if you realise that you forgot to transfer any files to the SD card, you should do it from the system. It works better compared to the MTP on TWRP. Either way, that should work properly. Now, reboot the system, and it should work perfectly.
Enjoy, it took me months to get to this point lol
Rooting Your New ROM With Magisk
(Before installing this consider the other root options. I believe there's SuperSU and another possibly that I'm less aware of. Either way, in my opinion Magisk comes with the most benefits so I'll be helping you out with that).
After this I ended up flashing Magisk in order to use Snapchat and other apps similar to it. Firstly you'll want to set up Google stuff which has been newly added to the system, and then you'll want to go to chrome and download the Magisk Manager .apk from here. The main and most reliable place to get it is from the creator's project page found here, all main links stand out in the middle fairly well.
(Remember to enable downloading of unknown apps for Chrome in it's app settings, otherwise it won't download or install.)
If it still doesn't work at this point, I ended up holding down on the Magisk Manager link and pressing Download Link (or something to that effect). From this point just install it as you would any other out-of-store app.
Now, you'll need to download these two files from the Magisk page onto your computer: Stable Installer and Uninstaller. Next, while booted into Android, copy them over to either Internal or External storage and when it's done, reboot into TWRP again, either by advanced power menu or using the button commands for recovery. Personally, I think I need the power options with this phone.
In TWRP, simply go to Install, navigate to /externalsd/***[WHEREVER YOU PLACED YOUR MAGISK FILES]***, then install the Magisk installer .zip. If unchanged, the filename should be something like "Magisk-v17.1.zip". Install it, then give rebooting a go. Hopefully it'll post, if not, go back into TWRP and run the Uninstaller .zip, it's saved me a bunch of times.
Unblocking Apps That Say Something Like "Your Phone is Rooted or Modified, no access blah blah blah..."
(Snapchat is the example used here. It won't work upon login if you don't follow this step. Some apps don't work with this alone however, though somebody may have produced a separate guide or easily installable Magisk module with a solution for it. One that won't be fixed singularly with Magisk Hide is Google Pay).
After posting, if you need to unblock Snapchat or something, go to Magisk Manager (which should now be more green), open the top left context menu, tap on Magisk Hide, and search "snap" until you see the Snapchat logo pop up, then select it, then back out with the back button. It should stay selected in Magisk, and the app should now be usable and shouldn't give you any annoying errors, if not give it a reboot and see if it's solved.
Good luck!
Every time i try and flash Super su or magisk it fails, TWRP is unable to mount anything and when i try to reboot TWRP says no os installed. I then have to flash stock recovery to get the phone to boot normally, I have rooted phones in the past but i just dont get why this is happening. Can anyone shead any light on this please
Phone and FRP unlocked
P8 lite 2017 8.0.0.383(C432)
Android (stock) and EMUI version 8
TWRP 3.2.1.0
I don't think the normal root method works anymore on genuine EMUI 8. I believe that we need to flash Askuccio's TWRP (hard to find without knowing it exists already), and then a custom treble rom (of which there are many), and then flash magisk over it. Not too difficult, but personally I've been having troubles with actually booting into custom ROMs.
I can't flash the Ashuccio TWRP - keep getting FAILED (remote: partition length get error)...any help?
You have to type to flash: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP-3.2.3-0-Hi6250-Askuccio-v1.0.img
Thank you - I missed the ramdisk command

Dru79 - now that I have TWRP - and many thanks for that, would you guide me quickly through the next steps for a custom ROM (I have read all sorts of posts that say you have to flash stock then a ROM then do all sorts - things have REALLY changed since I did this last!). I am on And 8 and emui 8 and want (ideally) as close to asop as poss with the ability for adoptive storage a must. Just unsure exactly how to progress, ie is it super SU (which most now seem to say no) or magisk etc....I really would appreciate a simple guide.
Thanks
Hi all,
So went over to 9.1.0 (device and firmware / variant is at the foot of this question
I downloaded a ROM from halab in the hope to upgrade from 9.0.0.190 to some kind of EMUI 9.1
Used EMUI flasher, half worked then failed.
So on boot i went to bootloader and flashed TWRP to get ROOT back, now as soon as TWRP opened, it flashed the update_sd.zip and the actual ROM booted.
It didn't delete anything, it works perfect and I have no problem with the actual OS i now have, in fact it's actually rapid with good USEFUL features
MODEL: C432 L29 (Single sim, rebranded from 783 L09, no funky huawei crap)
FIRMWARE: 9.1.0.311 from 9.0.0.190 apparently it was a service ROM? No idea.
But it' on there now.
My question though? How can i root??
Flashing TWRP (any of them)
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk NAME OF TWRP.ZIP
It will flash, but you cannot boot to TWRP
Patched a Magisk img, same method of flash in the same location recovery_ramdisk
Nothing, it will actually boot to eRecovery, so it's either protected or it's moved.
My bootloader remained unlocked, FRP was untouched.
Perhaps i should upgrade to 320.
Anyone know how to root?? Conventional means don't seem to work anymore.
Any help would be nice, thanks.
Not sure whether it'll work for You, but that's what some of us did:
1) flash patched ramdisk
2) reboot to erecovery
3)wipe data and cache - since stock recovery is gone you won't be able to accoomplish this step. The device reboots in rooted state instead.
"adb reboot recovery" seems to trigger root too.
However I must warn you. Root broke sms app for me.
BTW. What happened to your 1+7 Pro?
I was also considering getting it within couple of months.

Getting it on the 6th. I've relocked the bootloader on this turd of a phone. I'm done with it.
What you said above worked fine on 9.0 but not 9.1.0 I tried everything, nothing worked..
Totally lost interest in it now. Cheers for the response all the same.
I went back to stock via otg method, as in other post, then factory reset from stock, then boot straight into bootloader after wipe and flashed a patched magisk. So now on 9.1, rooted and no issues with phone or messages apps.

So guys!! I am actually rooted, TWRP, Magisk fully installed, bootloader still unlocked and everything is all good! stoked.
I used things from around the P20 lite forums, messed about with some files and voila!

I need to write this down before I forget.
FW - 9.1.0.311(C432E5R1P9)
EMUI 9.1
I used a patched magisk TWRP image for the P20 lite -https://drive.google.com/file/d/15NoARNVcbraCZiHLLpppq1kERvCKPSU2/view
Flashed it 3 times in a row via bootloader and powershell
Rebooted into TWRP recovery and then from there I rebooted back into bootloader and flashed a modded P20lite TWRP - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-4kW_ly2fxTTLu9ZW6UgSQGwjkn2rFR2/view
Rebooted into system and noticed Magisk manager shortcut on homescreen, install it, create a patched image from within the app and save it to desktop
Reboot into bootloader and flash the patched image
Reboot and you should be fully MAGISKed up with root...get a rootchecker and then smile

EDIT - EDIT - EDIT
DO NOT USE ABOVE - Restarted the phone and it's lost root bummer. Will work on this.
-ANOTHER EDIT-
I can get temporary root and use ROOT only apps by following some guidelines and I seem to be able to get there everytime but with a couple of flashes after every reset. I'm trying to beat this encryption crap.
I just flashed https://gofile.io/?c=uFbiPK, noticed MAGISK shorcut, installed it, then DIRECT INSTALL magisk update, reboot, ROOTED!! but it's only temporary until a reset of the phone.

What if you hold the volume up when you restart?

Doesn't have to be so complicated. Download canary magisk manager. get yourself stock or twrp recovery_ramdisk. open magisk manager and patch the recovery image. copy patched image to computer then fastboot flash the patched image. done.
fyi to boot into recovery in 9.1 is the combo power button+volume up.
Cheers.

Hey Dene, what version of TWRP did you install? I can't seem to get it to stick, just keeps booting to Erecovery instead of TWRP
