Root Acces and Xposed on E700H (Galaxy E7)

If you received the OTA firmware update like I did, you probably loss root access and it's now very hard to re-root. This is because Samsung updated the Knox partition and also the firmware.
What does this means?
Even if you flash an older version of your firmware, Knox partition will remain the same and you still won't have root access.
NOTICE: Root might be easy for some, but Xposed is really tricky to install on this device. Please backup all your files from your internal storage because there are minor chances your device might go into a boot loop, meaning you WILL have to flash a firmware again, this DOES NOT means you need to wipe your device, but it's always better to be prepared for the worst.
If you have no problem installing Xposed on your E7, this post is not for you! This is only if you received the OTA update!
1. ROOTING YOUR PHONE
- Install Kingo Root on your computer and follow the step by step instructions, just make sure to enable USB debugging from the developer options on your device and click accept when prompted to connect with your computer. You will have to wait from 5 to 20 minutes for the software to try multiple ways to root your device, sometimes it is really fast and sometimes it takes a while, it really depends on your firmware so if you fail to gain root access just go ahead and try another firmware from Sammobile. I use E700HXXU1AOAC_E700HUUB1AOAC_TPA and works really well, this is the firmware for Panama and it's NOT the newest one, however it has worked quite well for me. // CF Auto-Root used to worked before, however, after the update it is no longer working on this device :crying:
NOTICE: Disabling Knox voids your warranty and removes a very cool feature from your phone. Without Knox, anyone can steal your device and become its new owner. Why? Well, Knox links your device to your account only, no one else can use it unless having your user and password from Samsung, even after a full factory reset! So please keep this in mind, I'm willing to sacrifice this because I love Xposed.
2. DISABLING KNOX
- Now that you have Root Access, you need to install SuperSU to disable KNOX. Just go to the play store, download SuperSU, open it and grant root access to it using Kingo Root. You should now be prompted to Disable Knox and obviously you have to accept that!
3. OPTIONAL - Removing Kingo
- Download Titanium Backup from the Play Store so that you can remove your old Kingo User app... you won't need it anymore because you now have SuperSU. You can also uninstall Kingo App :good:
That's it! Rooted and without KNOX you can now install Xposed with no problems! No need for custom recoveries, just follow the classical procedure.
If you need help installing Xposed now that your device is properly rooted and without Knox, make sure to visit the other posts for more details.

SM-G800F - Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini - Update after rooting?

Hello!
Is there a way to update your device through the official updates of Samsung to the newest updaate?
I rooted my phone using the "Root Samsung Galaxy S5 mini SM-G800F using Odin" guide on AndroidMTK. (Search it on google, first link it is probably) but now it says even after unrooting that I have modified files on my phone and making it unable to root.
I want to download the OTA Updates because it contains Android 5.0, doesn't matter if I have to unroot because I don't like my rooted device anyway.
Is there any way?
Please help.

I found that the device will update OTA regardless of root. Root is broken after the update, but that's all.
The message about having a modified system only appears when no update is available. If there is an update, it will start downloading and install.
Others may be able to confirm/deny this behaviour, but that's how it worked for me.

Question Question regarding root and updates?

Hey there guys,
I just received my s21 ultra (G998B) and planning to root it. I had a few questions since I’m new to this and wanted some clarifications:
1) If I root the phone can I update it OTA through the settings or do I have to update it by another method? Will I lose root/data/apps if I do that?
2) If I lose root when updating it, can I just root again and be all set? Or do I have to follow another procedure for that?
3) I am planning to debloat a few apps and services that I won’t be using, if I update the system/software will the stuff that I debloated come back and will I have to do the debloat again?
Thank you for all the help.

1- Probably not usually the root or recovery will block OTA updates from installing, even if they download.
2- If you lose root, you can USUALLY re-root assuming the same root method wasnt patched. If it was patched, a new root method (though probably still through magisk) will be needed. If this is the case, its up to the dev to find that method, you might be without root for a while.
3-if you debloat, and receive an OTA, your will probably need to de-bloat again, thought I havent personally had experience with this.
Why are you rooting? Just to de-bloat? If so, root isn't really necessary...

As someone who's been in the rooting stage for many years, i can answer your questions.
1. You can not update your phone through OTA updates after rooting the device, as the device was modified in an unauthorized way. And since you own a galaxy phone, the e-fuse within the motherboard will blow and knox will be permanently blown. You can no longer use samsung pay, google pay, and any other app that uses the safetynet api, even after you unroot the device.
2. You will lose root every time you update. You will need ODIN on your PC in order to properly update your firmware and to re-root your device by following the procedure again that you used to root your device, unless samsung patched the method you used to root your device. You can always check what bootloader version you're on within the firmware. For example, on the galaxy S8, the firmware version is N950U1UES5CRG9. The 5th to last number of the firmware will tell you. In this case, N950U1UES5CRG9 is the 5th bootloader version. Keep this in mind once samsung starts to update your phone often.
3. You will have to debloat again from scratch. In order to fully update your device through ODIN, you need to download the full firmware file containing an AP (Firmware), BL (Bootloader) , CP (Modem), and CSC (Carrier File) and manually flash them.
Do keep in mind, it is possible to soft brick or even hard brick your device, so back up your data frequently if you decide to tinker with your device.

Thank you for the detailed answer. I just updated my software to the latest official one by Samsung (April 1st security patch) but I am not rooted yet. I guess I could live with the fact that I can root the phone now and stay on this software version/security patch until I upgrade, since I would have to go through a lot of hassle to set-up the phone the way I wanted. But the main reason why I want to get the official updates is because of the camera improvements that Samsung does, since the main reason of me getting this phone is the camera. And there are some root-required tweaks that I absolutely need such as Viper, and some xposed tweaks also. I like the Stock ROM of Samsung, it really has come a long way at least imo throughout the years, as I have been a Samsung user since day 1 but:
Would it be a good idea to install a custom ROM then? I am reading the description of a few custom ROMs and it seems like I can “retain everything” by simply dirty flashing the ROM and following the dev’s instructions on how to retain root whenever the developer updates it. Is that a better route to take you think? I can keep my device rooted, and still get the updates through a custom ROM.

That really varies depending on the custom rom you go for. Usually when you dirty flash a rom, you would need to re root your device, but some (not all) roms are persistent with root after system updates. Do keep in mind if you switch to a custom rom, your system might be more buggy and crash more often. One thing i will say though is that xposed is outdated. The last android version xposed officially supported was either 8 or 9. When it has to come down to certain mods you'd wish to have with root, take that into consideration too, as it might make your device really unstable if it's too outdated or if there's a buggy port available. I've dealt with that issue too many times on my phones.

if xposed is outdated, what is the new thing the comunity is migrating to? All the privacy, security, and customizability tools available through xposed must go somewhere, right?

There's buggy ports thats flashable on magisk. While you still can get xposed, it'll be an unofficial version, and more likely to run into issues within your rom and daily use into your device.

I mean xprivacy on xposed was the must have killer feature for any android device to turn your device into anything other than a privacy nightmare. If we can't do that any more we are f'd.
[EDIT] Looks like the new version of xprivacy, xprivacyLua is still supported for android 11, with magisk and EdXposed or LSPosed:
[CLOSED][APP][XPOSED][6.0+] XPrivacyLua - Android privacy manager [UNSUPPORTED]
XPrivacyLua Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later (successor of XPrivacy). Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data...

Question SAMSUNG Galaxy A33

I reside in Africa. I got a Samsung Galaxy A33. I need help/advise. I want to uninstall some inbuilt apps, am unsure if that's the right name for apps that came with the device on setup and I also want to use some apps that requires root.
I know little about rooting and 0% about flashing with magisk but am first at learning, I also know little about flashing with odin.
If there is a way to uninstall system apps and inbuilt apps without having to root or to just root the device temporary, please share that info with me about that kindly.
The device is perfect condition with no software errors, I already know that my warranty will be void if I root or unlock my Samsung a33 bootloader.

How to root Galaxy M21 running Android 11

Hi there,
I'm looking for a guide to root Galaxy M21 running Android 11.
I tried browsing but wasn't able to find/decide which guide/way was the safest to go.
I need to root the phone in order to access some files created by an app (similar to AppData on Windows OS). So I need root access in order to browse/copy from the filesystem.
So, anything that can do this works for me. I don't need custom ROMS or anything fancy. The easier, the better - as long as it can do the job. I also want something safe (secure) for rooting.
The exact model is: SM-M215F/DSN.
I'm using Windows OS and I'm familiar or can easily understand root & firmware flashing tools.
Thanks very much!
