I flashed the Russian Firmware for my A5 (2017), but the Magisk 13.3 root method didnt work.
So far, I have failed in rooting Nougat with the following methods:
1. Magisk 13.3
2. CF Root although this is for Nougat. The phone goes into bootloop.
Currently, out of options as not too many options/info available for this phone.
Any definite way of rooting on this device?
[EDIT:]
SOLVED:
Flashed this version of SuperSU through TWRP and it worked!
Once installed SuperSU will ask KNOX detected, try to disable: Press OK.
Going to test it out & see if anything is off about it.
EDIT 2:
False Alarm. SuperSU flashed but does not have Root access as apss dont have SU Binary access. This is getting frustrating.
Any other way to root?

Hey! Thanks for the reply. So, I just Flash this in TWRP like all Zip's and then Flash Magisk?
EDIT: It seems the boot image is something I have already tried, except I flashed SuperSU after, instead of Magisk. If you don't mind, could you go through this post, as this is the only problem remaining.
Samsung A5 2017 [A520F} Root issue resolved.
Gonna leave the steps for future reference if anyone needs it:
Firmware, Magisk & dm_verity all linked in my original post.
1. Install Samsung Nougat 7.0 (Russian Version in this case)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Try to flash dm-verity through TWRP
3. If it doesn't work go to Wipe > data > Change System Files > FAT & F4 wipe to change
3. Flash dm-verity again. The .zip should flash successfully this time.
4. Flsh Magisk 13.3. It will flash.
and you are rooted!

As of OOS 9.5.10 you can boot twrp by fastboot, then sideload twrp into both slots and finally flash magisk which patches the boot.img itself. Thus no need for patched boot.img anymore.
Does this work for the global version??
Patched boot.img is a silly way of rooting... If someone uses the wrong boot.img for their version it will fail to boot. Plus, booting TWRP and flashing the magisk zip is faster and more reliable

The only difference between the global and the EU versions are supposed to be the LTE bands.

Sorry for asking but I wanna root mine as soon as it comes. So if you install TWRP and flash with magisk the OTAs won't be broken?

I get still offered OTAs by the system. However I prefer to use Oxygen Updater app from Play Store to download it and flash directly in TWRP.

Oh cool. So like "dirty flashing". Will magisk also get killed in the proccess? I'm not sure how A/B partitions work. Do you just install magisk from twrp or do you have to somehow install it on both partitions?

I seem to have lost my root after I did the update for 9.5.11 this morning
Here is what I did
I did as stated
Download update, Install, DO NOT REBOOT
Went to Magisk, unistalled all modules, then did OTA Install
Rebooted
Went to Magisk installed TWRP, but my phone froze at that point and the screen turned all white and just sat there
So I clicked on the power button and rebooted
Got back into my phone and checked to see if I was still rooted via root checker app and now it says I AM NOT ROOTED
What can I do to fix this I can launch Magisk, but now it says its is not installed on the screen, so I click install, download the ZIP option
It says Select Method, Download ZIP ONLY which I did or Select and Patch a File which I am not sure what file I need to use?
How can I get my root back on the phones
I am on NOW on 9.5.11 GM 1917
Thanks all

If you don't need TWRP, first booting it and flashing the zip takes way longer than "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Hello,
I flashed a stock ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 running Android 7.0.
Then I installed TWRP, and with that Magisk 19.3. All were installed successful, however after rebooting there was no Magisk Manager app, so I installed this myself.
When opening the Magisk Manager app it shows that Magisk has not been installed.. how can I fix this?
I've been trying for 10 hours now, I really need help.
Before flashing the ROM I had TWRP installed with SuperSU.

1. Uninstall Super SU
2. Uninstall Magisk from TWRP (using uninstall.zip)
3. Install Magisk.zip latest version in TWRP
4. Install Magisk Manager latest version using APK
Remember to use both latest versions of Magisk (zip and apk).
It should work for you.

The thing is, I did a full clean stock ROM install and there is no SuperSu app left on my device.
If I download the SuperSu APK now it says I don't have ROOT access and therefore I cannot uninstall SuperSu using the APK.
I have used Root Checker Basis (app) to check if there is a ROOT available, but it says ROOT access is not properly installed on this device.
Is it still possible for SuperSu to be installed on my device while I cannot see or find it? Even after a clean install?
Also, I believe 19.3 is the latest version of Magisk. I also tried 19.2, but I am having the same problem with that version.

I don't know what the smartphone you have but the best way is to get boot.img from stock firmware and then patch it via Magisk Manager (you can install it even if you don't have root). Then after boot.img is patched you can flash it instead of the standard boot.img (any method you are doing it now).
BTW: the latest version of Magisk is 19.4. Check it on Magisk repository.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (T825). I used a stock firmware from SamMobile (which exists of 5 times an .tar.md5 file) and flashed it on my device using Odin.
[EDIT] So here is what I did. Made a back-up using TWRP, and used that boot.img to patch in Magisk Manager.
Now I have a patched IMG file. But when I want to install it using TWRP I have to pick a partition and I am not sure which one to pick.
[EDIT] I tried installing it, and it was successful, yet shows the Magisk manager app that there is no ROOT available.
I guess I just need to start from the very beginning over again. Can you help me with that?
I have stock firmware .zip for my T825 from SamMobile which I can install using Odin.
I also have a working TWRP .zip file that works fine with that firmware on my device.
Other than that I'll need guidance because I keep screwing up :')
Your help is much appreciated
I did a factory reset, flashed TWRP, and installed Magisk using TWRP. After rebooting there was no Magisk Manager app (but it did install a TWRP app).
I installed the Manager app with a downloaded .apk (latest version) and it shows that Magisk is not installed.
So, I want to try patching my .img file using the manager app. The only problem is that I do not have an .img file, as I used . md5 files.
Can I make a back-up with TWRP and use the .img file from there?
TWRP INSTALLER FOR REDMI 8
I want to share my tool for installing TWRP for Redmi 8.Tested on MIUI 11 Global 11.0.10.0 (PCNMIXM). Always take a backup of your data before doing this modifications. I'm not responsible if something went wrong and do it at your own risk!!!

Easy to Use
Files:
TWRP Installer for Redmi 8 - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682873743
Magisk Zip - https://magisk.me/zip/
How to Install TWRP & Root:
Unlock the Bootloader.

So, after ahard reset tried again following yor guide, still not rooted, after that I flashed stock rom to have a clean install and tried the tutorial I posted using a stock boot image patched with magisk and still no root. Is it possible that I am having no luck and you managed to root yours because of different stock roms i.e. Global vs China or Russia roms?
