First of all, if you brick or mess-up your phone, I am not responsible. Rooting also void your warranty. Do it at your risk.
I had problems rooting ICS T989UVLE1, after updating.
Here is a root proceedure.
1) Download the attached ICS-root.7z (your will need a 7zip software to uncompress it on your PC) and uncompress it.
2) Put your phone in Download mood
3) Start Odin (Odin is available at XDA from several threads. Search for it if you do not have it)
4) Flash recovery.tar.md5 from the uncompressed ICS-root archive, you downloaded and uncompressed in Step 1. (It is CWM Touch Recovery for SG SII T-989)
5) Attach your phone to your PC/laptop and copy ICS-su-busybox.zip to your phone sd card
6) Reboot your phone in recovery
7) CWM flash ICS-su-busybox.zip
8) Reboot phone and apply Busybox update from Market. (Note. ICS-root.7z Zip has an older version busybox. You must update busybox from Market otherwise some applications, particularly Titanium will give errors.)
9) You are done. Enjoy.
Not sure if this has been posted already but, this exact process for rooting works for almost ANY android device the program is very easy to use and I will do my best to try and explain how it works.
First, download this ROOTING TOOL

ROOTING:
1. Extract the rooting tool to your computer the folder should be called "VROOT" now open the file Root.exe and this image will appear. (MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED VIA USB WITH INSTALLED DRIVERS)
2. CLICK ROOT.
The program will install a chinese version of superuser which we will delete after CWM installation. (YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT, THIS IS NORMAL)
3. After reboot, you may now exit the program.
CWM:
1. Now that we are rooted, we can install CWM. While your phone is still plugged into your computer place the MobileUncleTools.apk into your phones storage.

I tried with no luck. Phone is already rooted with the same method you mentioned. I flash the recovery image using the app, and the phone reboots to the stock recovery mode.
I'm not running the phone on a stock firmware.. Could that be the problem?

I have the SAME problem! SU ok but the phone reboots to the stock recovery.... My firmware is original... What I do now?
Sorry, but VROOT threads are being closed by the moderation team because they appear to be collecting information off of devices. So, until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. Please report them to the moderation team.

Android 9.0
Hello, when it will be possible ? If never, why ?
I followed the exact process but everytime i tried to boot into TWRP recovery immediately after the flashing, the device still boots into stock recovery instead of TWRP
Please help me with this
Thank you
I figured out a way to root the Galaxy J7 duo
Actually i have tried lot of ways to root using TWRP flash and all.. but one day i accidentally bricked my device
So i downloaded the stock ROM to flash my device
And i downloaded the 8.0 android ROM
So this root method basically tested on android 8.0
So now i have android 8.0 stock ROM downloaded
Step 1 -
So make sure you also downloaded the ROM
And extract the ROM file (you must have got the "AP" "CP" "BL" "CSC" and "HOME CSC" file)
Then copy the "AP" file in your phone
Then install magisk manager in your phone
Open magisk, select install, select and patch a file from magisk
Then select "AP" file
And wait while magisk is patching the "AP" file
When flashing is done the patched file will be saved on storage, emulated, 0, download (file will be saved as "magisk_patched.tar")
Then simply copy the patched file in your computer
Step 2 -
Open odin in your Computer
In odin, select "magisk_patched.tar" in "AP" section
Select "BL" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "BL" section
Select "CP" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "CP" section
Select "HOME CSC" from the stock ROM folder in the odin's "HOME CSC" section
make sure you select all the official files from the stock ROM folder... just instead of the "AP" file, select the "magisk_patched.tar"
Then connect your phone via USB cable
Odin will detect and show "added" message
Start the flashing process
It will take few minutes
When its done your phone will boot up
But it will show something like "erasing" and "verification unsuccessful"
Just agree with that and erase the phone
(It will cause a data loss because everything will be deleted and your phone will reset, so i suggest to make a backup using samsung smart switch)
Then when your phone will reboot, just follow the steps to setup
Amd install magisk latest apk
Open magisk and boom!
You can already realize that magisk root is activated
Amd magisk will ask you to "setup environment"
Just agree and your phone will reboot withing 5 seconds
And done!
Your phone is now rooted
Install root checker and verify your root status
how to un-brick
Same thing here,
Tell me how you un-bricked your phone
I bricked my phone by installing wrong twrp file to sm-j720f android pie with odin
and now it shows only bootloader screen and I can't even go to recovery mode or home screen just showing " SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO secured by Knox powerd by android" noting else
That is exactly what was happened in my phone
So what i did just downloaded the Stock ROM for J7 duo from the sam mobile website.
Then extract the ROM and you will get few files ("AP", "BL", "CP", "CSC", "HOME CSC")
Then boot your phone into download mode using this method
(Connect the phone to your PC using USB cable, then press and hold Power + volume down + home, then when the "powered by android" logo appears release only the power button... so your phone will boot into download mode, press volume up to continue)
Now, in odin you can see "added" message that means device is connected
Now select the ROM files respectively, BL, AP, CP, CSC
Then click start, and the process will start, will take few minutes
When done, your phone will boot normally
Yeah everything is right until...
[grand_theft;83142325]That is exactly what was happened in my phone
***********
So what i did just downloaded the Stock ROM for J7 duo from the sam mobile website.

Then boot your phone into download mode using this method
Fact that I cant even go to download mode I tried out many times
Just follow this step
(Connect your computer with your phone using USB cable, then press and hold Power + volume down + home, then when the phone vibrates and appears the samsung logo again just release only the power key, while holding the volume down and home key)
(Just release only the power key when the "powered by android" logo appears)
Thats how you can go to the download mode
No virtual change
Done it as u say,
But my mobile shows noting but just logo screen
*****SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 DUO secured by Knox powered by android*****
again and again
These is not first time, last I did the same mistake before and I went to Samsung service store they recovered it, I don't know how they did but it worked.
These time I want to (tring to) do it on my own bcoz I love playing with ROM's, root, etc.
Thanks for replys
I also did the same mistake by flashing wrong TWRP
But however i managed to enter into downlod mode following those steps
And flashed official ROM to unbrick the phone
You must go into download mode to flash the official ROM using odin
Thanks alot
Thanks man,
I'm able to enter download mode and I installed official ROM. Now in using it as normal but (1)Secure folder and Pay mini are not working.
(2)Do you have any idea on other ROMs that works on SM-J720F other than Samsung's one UI.
(3)can I install android 8 on it in ordered to root as you said it in previous post.
(4)from previous your post on oreo twrp explanation, is twrp works fine. What happens to twrp if I update phone to Q (from system updater)
I'm glad you made it!
Now,
1) Secure folder and pay mini won't work because the phone thinks you rooted your phone and maybe your binary is cracked (so forget using those)
2) I'm not sure about any ROMs which is stable with this model. But you can search the internet (I think pixel ROM is pretty popular)
3) I'm not sure if my process of rooting supports android 9.0 or not, because i personally tetsted it on 8.0, So you can download the oreo ROM from the internet and then follow all the steps i mentioned before
4) If you want to install TWRP, you can still install TWRP after rooting via the method i provided
(You can install TWRP using flashify on a rooted phone)
But if you want root access then you can simply root your phone first..
And whatever custom ROMs you want to install, install it using flashify
Because if you update software via official OTA, the root access and TWRP both will be gone
And if you root your phone, then however you won't be able to perform a official OTA update.
(First root your phone, then simply download your TWRP file and flash it with root permission within your phone)
Instated of Oreo AP file,

Ok I agree with you,
But what if I replace Oreo's AP file with android 10's AP file(which I installed recently on my phone), will it boot with root or not.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I have not tested this method on any other android version, you can still try it on your own, there is nothing to lose, just make a backup before flashing. If you succeed then that's great
But i have personally tested this method only on android 8.0
(Before doing anything, just make a proper backup using samsung smart switch. So you can restore your important data)
Success
Replaced with android 10's AP file and flashed with Odin. Now my phone has rooted with Magisk manager.
Any suggestions to tweak android

Have you ever got the answer or figured it out? I've got the same model and I cannot find anything on the net to help me with rooting this phone.
Could not find a single post or website that correctly explained how to root my Samsung Galaxy A30S that I bought May 2020.
In the end I got it rooted. Here is what I did (I think have to go from memory, not going to restore my phone and try again, was in Knox jail for a week, so not risking that again).
step 0:
download Samsung kies and install
download and install Frija the Samsung Firmware download tool
download adb platform tools and install. Not strictly necessary I think but can be useful and easy way to boot into bootloader if things go wrong.
step 1:
When your phone is new:
update (or wait that the phone updates) to the latest android version
This may take a while an repeated reboots.
step 2
unlock the bootloader :
1. go to Setting>About>Software>Build Number and Tap on the build number repeatedly so that the Developer mode will turn on.
2. In the developer options, there is an OEM unlock option then enable that option.
Now Enter Download Mode Galaxy A30s:
1 Turn Power off the phone
2 Press and hold Volume Down + Volume Up keys together
3 While pressing these keys connecting the phone to PC with USB Cable Data.
4 Release all keys when Download Mode appears.
follow the instruction (ie keep the volume up button pressed for over 7 seconds)
step 3:
use the Frija tool to download samsung galaxy 30s latest firmware, the same one that is also installed on your phone
Once you’ve downloaded the stock firmware file based on your device model number, you can extract the boot.img.lz4 file to patch it via the Magisk Manager app. You do this as follows:
Step 4
Copy only the boot.img.lz4 file from the extracted AP folder to your device storage.
Install 7-Zip-Zstandard or use a windows lz4 command line tool to unpack boot.img.lz4 to boot.img
Download and install the latest Magisk Manager app and install on your phone.
Transfer the boot.img file to an SD card so Magisk can access it (or connect your phone and use file transfer)
Next, open the Magisk Manager app and select Install and choose to Install it again.
Then tap on “Patch Boot Image File”.
Go to internal storage and select your device boot image that you moved to your phone earlier.
Now, wait for Magisk to start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image has been patched, copy the “patched_boot.img” from the internal storage and put it somewhere on your PC.
Next repack it to boot.img.lz4 using 7z or lz4 and then do it again but now pack it boot.img.lz4.tar so ODIN can write it.
step 4:
Make sure that OEM unlock is still off!
Enter Download Mode Galaxy A30s and go to download mode.
Make sure it says FRP lock and OEM lock are off.
Otherwise the ODIN write will fail and OEM/knox protection will kick in during ODIN write and it will fail.
And then you have to wait a week until OEM unlock option in developers option becomes available again.
download latest ODIN version.
Select in ODIN 'AP' and select boot.img.lz4.tar and then write it.
That should work and reboot your phone.
step 5:
you may have to install magisk on your phone again.
Start magisk and make sure magisk and magisk manager are up to date.
use the menu in the upper left corner, choose modules and install busy box.
Now install terminux on your phone and use the su command to see if you can become root.
If you type 'su' in terminux magisk window should pop up and ask if you want to grant superuser access to terminux.

DO NOT QUOTE THE OP PLEASE, (If you would like to place this guide in your respective Device Threads ie. Galaxy s10, s20, s20 Note 20 Ultra 5g etc. thats perfectly fine)
Welcome: Be nice, be courteous and *enjoy
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 unrooting, some functions may never.
- All your data on device will be lost (Factory Reset is in the Instructions below)
- Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually it's a soft but can be hard brick too), so follow it on your own risk!
Now that you accept the risks, let's have some fun -
Important: Although this is a simple guide you must follow all directions clearly
Simple guide to root your device and install TWRP after unlock: (Thanks to @Krog18 )
1. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar, TWRP for your device, magisk and multidisabler-samsung-2.6-afaneh92
2. Reboot to download mode and flash vbmeta_disabled.tar in ap slot and reboot. Device will reboot to recovery mode prompting you to wipe data so wipe data and reboot to download mode again.
3. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and flash TWRP in ap slot.
4. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up, Bixby button (10 series only) and power to reboot into TWRP
5. Flash multidisabler and reboot recovery
6. Go to wipe, format and type yes to format data
7. Flash magisk
8. Make a backup of efs and store it somewhere safe
9. Reboot
*First boot may take 10-15 minutes. If it doesn't boot in 15 minutes, force reboot by holding power and volume down for at least 10 seconds
Additional Method For Rooting If Above method did not work for you:
Step 1 : (Root Base Firmware with Magisk By patching files yourself, Then Flash TWRP in Odin)
Prepare Firmware files for root
You need to Patch AP File to flash using Odin to root device.
1. Download stock firmware for your device ie (SM-N975U/U1, SM-G973U/U1, SM-G975U/U1)
You need to download file according your region and model.
2. Once you finish download, extract files and keep all files on in a folder on the desktop of PC. From extracted files find the file with name AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 copy to your Phone.
3.Download Latest Magisk Manager and Install to your device (Make sure to check for updates) (Optionally go into settings and switch the update channel to BETA)
4.Open Magisk Manager - Find Magisk Install (Top One) - Click Install - select to "Select and Patch file" - Click the AP file you have copied to your device (AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5)
5.Magisk Manager will patch the entire firmware file and output the newly Patched AP file to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar
6.Now Copy patched AP file magisk_patched.tar back to Your PC
7.Download latest Odin and extract to Desktop on your PC
Step 2. Installing custom firmware files with Odin
1. Reboot to download mode and select volume up to continue:
2. Open Odin (as administrator) {Right-Mouse click--Open As Administrator}
Select AP in Odin and use the magisk_patched.tar file you have patched {The file you just patched with Magisk} for AP tab of Odin
Select BL,CP and CSC files (Use the files from the firmware you downloaded earlier) (This is VERY important, DON'T just flash only the magisk_patched.tar)
(Use All of the respective files BL, CP, CSC)
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option (I do this because I like rebooting when I'm ready)
4. Make sure all files are in the right place, Now Hit Start and wait till it's completely finish. When It shows PASS in Odin, disconnect device.
Okay Now the hard part is over, you can let the phone boot to system and Skip all Setup Steps because Next is TWRP.
Step 3. Odin: Flash Twrp and Boot with Magisk
Very Simple yet very Important:
1. Download the respective TWRP (Twrp<version_number>.TAR for you phone model (This is going to Odin flashed so you need .TAR file)
2. Reboot your phone into Download Mode, Hold Vol- and Power Button until it gets to DL Screen and press up for "Yes"
3. Put the Twrp<version_number>.TAR in the AP slot
4. Make sure the file is selected, (Unselect Auto-reboot in options tab in Odin) and in place and hit Start
5. Wait until it's finished, Now Hold Vol- and Power until you see black screen, release and then hold Vol+ and Power until you see TWRP recovery
Now Flash Multidisabler and Magisk
1. Flash multidisabler (Mega) (Google Drive) and reboot back to TWRP
2. Wipe data and storage
3. Flash Latest Magisk
*Enjoy
*** Remember: Make a backup of EFS through TWRP and save it to your desktop or Cloud service ie. MEGA, GDrive, Dropbox ****

Maybe should include that US Snapdragon will have to get their bootloader unlocked first and how they do..include Telegram. Or your probably going to constantly get the "I can't find OEM unlock" question.

Thanks man, wanted to have a central "fool-proof" way for people to enjoy the freedom of root
Just to be clear - I need to pay to get my bootloader unlocked? That's still the case, right?

I've been on Nexus and Pixel devices so long now I cannot remember much about modification on Samsung devices. Last one I had rooted was the Note 2. Anyway, bootloader unlocked and successfully rooted my SM-N975U (Note 10+). Now there are updates available so I am sorry if this isn't the place or if a dumb question, but is there any special way I need to do updates on the snapdragon so I don't relock the bootloader or lose root? With Pixel, ADB sideload was easy, not sure with this one.
Is there a multi disabler package that is compatible with the SM-N976V ? I have tried multiple iterations of multidisabler-samsung-2.6c-afaneh92 but am have trouble.

I was in the same boat, went to the telegram channel and the guy who made that file added support for 976V. Not sure where else it's available, but you should be able to get it there from Mohammad.
TWRP for S20/N20/TabS7/ZFold2 (Snapdragon)

Hey, just wanted to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I've had my Sm-976V BL unlocked and rooted for a bit now, but have been busy hence the late reply.
I have an issue. I boot into TWRP just fine but all my files in sdcard are nothing but random numbers and letters
I think this happens when you don't wipe your data. You also need to flash a decryption file. It happened to me at first because I didn't wipe all data.[/QUOTE]

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 unrooting, some functions may never.
- All your data on device will be lost (Factory Reset is in the Instructions below)
- Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually it's a soft but can be hard brick too), so follow it on your own risk!
Now that you accept the risks, let's have some fun -
Important: Although this is a simple guide you must follow all directions clearly
Simple guide to root your device and install TWRP after unlock: (Thanks to @Krog18 )
1. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar, TWRP for your device, magisk and multidisabler-samsung-2.6-afaneh92
2. Reboot to download mode and flash vbmeta_disabled.tar in ap slot and reboot. Device will reboot to recovery mode prompting you to wipe data so wipe data and reboot to download mode again.
3. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and flash TWRP in ap slot.
4. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up, Bixby button (10 series only) and power to reboot into TWRP
5. Flash multidisabler and reboot recovery
6. Go to wipe, format and type yes to format data
7. Flash magisk
8. Make a backup of efs and store it somewhere safe
9. Reboot
*First boot may take 10-15 minutes. If it doesn't boot in 15 minutes, force reboot by holding power and volume down for at least 10 seconds
Additional Method For Rooting If Above method did not work for you:
Step 1 : (Root Base Firmware with Magisk By patching files yourself, Then Flash TWRP in Odin)
Prepare Firmware files for root
You need to Patch AP File to flash using Odin to root device.
1. Download stock firmware for your device ie (SM-N975U/U1, SM-G973U/U1, SM-G975U/U1)
You need to download file according your region and model.
2. Once you finish download, extract files and keep all files on in a folder on the desktop of PC. From extracted files find the file with name AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 copy to your Phone.
3.Download Latest Magisk Manager and Install to your device (Make sure to check for updates) (Optionally go into settings and switch the update channel to BETA)
4.Open Magisk Manager - Find Magisk Install (Top One) - Click Install - select to "Select and Patch file" - Click the AP file you have copied to your device (AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5)
5.Magisk Manager will patch the entire firmware file and output the newly Patched AP file to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar
6.Now Copy patched AP file magisk_patched.tar back to Your PC
7.Download latest Odin and extract to Desktop on your PC
Step 2. Installing custom firmware files with Odin
1. Reboot to download mode and select volume up to continue:
2. Open Odin (as administrator) {Right-Mouse click--Open As Administrator}
Select AP in Odin and use the magisk_patched.tar file you have patched {The file you just patched with Magisk} for AP tab of Odin
Select BL,CP and CSC files (Use the files from the firmware you downloaded earlier) (This is VERY important, DON'T just flash only the magisk_patched.tar)
(Use All of the respective files BL, CP, CSC)
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option (I do this because I like rebooting when I'm ready)
4. Make sure all files are in the right place, Now Hit Start and wait till it's completely finish. When It shows PASS in Odin, disconnect device.
Okay Now the hard part is over, you can let the phone boot to system and Skip all Setup Steps because Next is TWRP.
Step 3. Odin: Flash Twrp and Boot with Magisk
Very Simple yet very Important:
1. Download the respective TWRP (Twrp<version_number>.TAR for you phone model (This is going to Odin flashed so you need .TAR file)
2. Reboot your phone into Download Mode, Hold Vol- and Power Button until it gets to DL Screen and press up for "Yes"
3. Put the Twrp<version_number>.TAR in the AP slot
4. Make sure the file is selected, (Unselect Auto-reboot in options tab in Odin) and in place and hit Start
5. Wait until it's finished, Now Hold Vol- and Power until you see black screen, release and then hold Vol+ and Power until you see TWRP recovery
Now Flash Multidisabler and Magisk
1. Flash multidisabler (Mega) (Google Drive) and reboot back to TWRP
2. Wipe data and storage
3. Flash Latest Magisk
*Enjoy
*** Remember: Make a backup of EFS through TWRP and save it to your desktop or Cloud service ie. MEGA, GDrive, Dropbox ****

which TWRP version to flash and which odin? hope i can get answer i had N975U1 unlocked bootloader
Anyone else getting that pesky "Android 11 Update" since they have rooted? I keep postponing it. I'm guessing it will fail if I try to install. Not sure what I should do.
Sammobile don't seem to have the firmware available yet. I was thinking installing it with odin then patching AP with Magisk
