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!

Hi, will smart switch still work after rooting?
Hi! I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 chinese (with global rom MIUI 10.0.2.0 stable), magisk 17.1, TWRP 3.2.3 and rooted. I wanted to know if now I am able to receive OTA, if i can install it without doing nothing (if I have to do anything, what I have to do to [keeping everything: root, magisk...]) and if there is any difference between install small OTA and big ones like MIUI 9 -> MIUI 10 or Android 8 -> Android 9 or I install them in the same way. I couldn't find any tutorial about these questions
By the way, how can I flash my stock recovery?
Thank you!
I have the same version, haven't installed TWRP yet, not rooted, and i wanted to do it with magisk but i tried several times in the past and i cant get it to boot, also i couldnt do ota updates with TWRP aswell, so i have the same questions basically.

I had a loooot of trouble installing magisk.
Do this:
Boot TWRP.
Format data.
Install MIUI via TWRP.
Without rebooting, flash Magisk V17.1.
Install DM-VERITY AND FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER.
Perform fastboot format userdata.
Reboot.
Anybody can help?
Get bootloop for my mi 8 global stable 10.0.2.0
Waiting for the latest developments, because I use 10 global stable and try all the versions of magisk that I recommend until the latest version of the 17.2 magisk I use remains bootloop. Sad. Waiting for the angel to share ways.
Nobody can do anything
Very sad . Waiting for the angel's magical hand to share knowledge
Any luck with Magisk 17.3? Unfortunately I was in the same shoes but I went to xiaomi.eu's latest stable ROM and I can't complain so far.

how do i go from TWRP to performing the format do i have to reboot to bootloader?
Yes ?
The problem is Data Encryption. That is the reason you have to flash the DM Verity / Encryption Disabler and MUST format data (where you type 'yes' to confirm). Just an FYI, Multi .EU ROMs don't have data encryption, so Magisk should work out of the box. Unfortunately, i'm not willing to give up data encryption for the sake of Root. You can modify almost anything through the TWRP recovery file manager, and also disable apps through ADB Shell anyway-so root is less useful. If you lose your phone and don't have DATA encryption, your phone is open season for anyone and everything you have. Multi-ROM .EU has System encryption. GLOBAL ROM has system & data encryption as default.

Do you have the latest now on yours?
What is the reason why we can't have encryption with root? Is it something that might be fixed in time?
I've rooted several phones with root and never had this issue. I want to root to remove all the xiaomi bloatware but I don't want to lose encryption.

Yes, and it works perfectly.
About encryption you have the option in settings, maybe you can try to do the encryption again

In the last step, you have to reboot to bootloader and write "fastboot format userdata" from your computer

Hi,
I have unlock the bootloader, manage to load TWRP and flash magisk but bootloop after that.
and also i have tired supersu zip, nothing happened.
is there any steps to gain root access ??
i seen some instruction need to wipe. data i have not tried that, is that possible without wipe data ?
Thanks in advance.
Device is Mi A1 (tissot).
To install permanently twrp, i need to flash magisk. But i already have it installed.
I'm thinking if i could flash the twrp installer zip, and after this, update magisk (via twrp), that is crucial to keep twrp.
Can you install twrp without root? And not wipe any data to recover? If so where is twrp i can use?
