How to root SM-720F? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Please help me to root Samsung A7 2017. I need to root because I'd like to install Xposed. I found a few guides but they were confusing.

It's pretty easy:
On android 6
Install TWRP
Install superuser-r310-beta
That's it
On android 7 (last security patch)
IMPORTANT: If you have rooted previously with Magisk 14.x or Supersu, clean reinstall the ROM again through ODIN (erasing SYSTEM and DATA)
COPY MAGISK 15.1 in the external SD or in a USB
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
Install MM Bootloader through ODIN, (Last Nougat has BOOTLOADER Locked, it doesn't work anymore OEM unlock. In the attachment there is one that I use)
Reboot your phone and soon enter again in Download mode
Install TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/xcc-t3591448
Reboot in recovery and FORMAT DATA
Install MAGISK 15.1 (1510)
REBOOT
This way works perfectly in NOUGAT last security patch and you won't have the issue about the delay of more than 5 sec when you unlock with PATTERN.

Along with TWRP, you're best to get the bootloader unlocked from Xiaomi. I did this with my mi max, Xiaomi approved and I unlocked with their tool. Basically, miui may screw up with OTAs and TWRP in the future, so best to move from miui if you can.
From that point on, you're free to use the tools you wish. I'd recommend nigel's 7.1 unofficial ROM.
So the sequence would be :
1. Unlock bootloader with Xiaomi.
2. Download nigel's / other ROM and modem firmware, Gapps, and Magisk to the SD card.
3. Reboot to fastboot mode
4. Install TWRP with adb recovery command from your computer
5. Restart in bootloader / TWRP mode.
6. Wipe everything but the SD card.
7. Install the ROM, the firmware and gapps
8. Restart into regular system and setup the new ROM
9. Restart in bootloader / TWRP mode
10. Install Magisk
Boom...you now get regular OTA, have Magisk and substratum can be installed as well.

Hi it didn't work... I think this is for J7 plus only and please Help after flashing the custom recovery my boot logo of C8 is gone.... Please help
I have tried to install using odin and it says on the phone a chinese message,which i translated with google, that read your phone needs to be unlocked to install a custom operating system, even though i enabled oem unlock and usb debugging. I used viper4android on my old phone and its annoying that im not able to install it on my new one.
Please help me when you get time:good:
the twrp cannot mount data partition unless format it first. and my device is sm c7100.
I can't install twrp in the first place.
How did you guys install it.
I managed to install twrp with odin after unlocking bootloader with crom service and disabling frp lock but when i try to boot into it there's nothing. It just boots into android. Tried installing it again. I tried adb reboot recovery but that booted to the official samsung recoveryb even though i installed twrp. How to fix this??

Brother how do you manged to unlock bootloader...? Please share with us
google play gives an error, the installation screen is not constantly installing
Hi everyone,
For those who have tried, could you please confirm whether the files are working or not.
Since there is no steps and instructions, can someone post the the procedure/code used for flashing kernel and TWRP?
Thanks
I finally tested everything out. Please feel free to take the command for reference.
Disclaimer:
1. Warranty would be voided and I am not responsible for any:
- Bricked device
- Data loss. So PLEASE BACKUP and you will definitely lose all your data during the rooting process.
2. I am not the one who build the files such as Kernel and TWRP img
Donation:
- BUT I am the one spending the time to test the files out. So, if you are happy with my work, please donate. I am happy for whatever (I mean the amount) support you give me.
- Bitcoin address: bc1qzvv3wrfj0furpzhdfxvzp07gy7whan907045gn
Aim:
1. Since Samsung Galaxy C8 has only 64GB of internal storage, 1000% sure it is not enough for using in 2021 onwards -> We need data and obb to SD card
2. MediaTek Hellio P20 is not powerful enough for using in 2021 onwards -> Need some CPU tweak
-> So, IT CAN’T BE USED WITHOUT ROOT
3. Makes Android great again
Summary:
- Both TWRP and Kernel, posted by Travis82 are definitely working for Samsung Galaxy C8 since I have tested them out and using them but they are only for Android 7.1.1 and not for stock Android 8.1.
- The files are NOT tested with Custom Rom.
- The reason why I said the Kernel is also for Android 7.1.1 because you need TWRP for flashing.
Procedure (For Android 8.1 user) NOT RECOMMENDED:
- First of all, Android 8.1 is SERIOUSLY NOT RECOMMENED for Samsung Galaxy C8 as nothing much you can do even though you are rooted. (i.e. XInternalSD causes bootloop)
- As mentioned above, both TWRP and Kernel posted by Travis82 are not compactable with Android 8.1
- For Android 8.1 user, it is recommended to downgrade to Android 7.1.1 with Odin.
- If you still want to use Android 8.1 and root, follow the guide in the link below using Magisk. Just follow the section for Samsung is good enough:
https://www.xda-developers.com/root/amp/
Procedure (For Android 7.1.1 user) RECOMMENDED:
Unlock bootloader + Enable developer mode -> USB debug + Prepare a SD card and put both Kernel and Magisk zip to the SD card
Applying TWRP recovery
Compress the recovery image to a .tar archive using 7-Zip
Install 7-zip
Right-click on recovery.img
“7-zip”
“Add to archive”
Select “tar” for “Archive format”
Flashing the recovery tar archive in Odin
Download, install and open Odin (I use Odin3 v3.13)
Unclick/Deselect “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” under “Options”
Enter Download mode
Power off, Power button + Volume Down + Home button, connect your PC
Flash the recovery tar archive in AP slot
When done flashing, unplug the device and enter recovery mode.
Power button + Volume Up + Home button, when the screen goes blank quickly, Power button + Volume Down + Home button.
If you can’t boot to recovery in this way, use ADB. “adb reboot recovery”
Applying new Kernel and Magisk
If storage can’t be mounted in TWRP (i.e. 0MB), consider changing the SD card or see this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rnal-storage-0mb-in-twrp-permanently.3830897/ To be honest, there are lots of ways to fix this problem. Find the one best fit for you.
Flash Kernel zip in TWRP as usual
Flash Magisk zip in TWRP as usual
Reboot and wait, it takes quite a long time to boot
NOT DONE yet. You will probably face a serious problems in this stage:
Wifi passwords and Bluetooth connections can’t be saved
To solve this problem -> Install “Libsecure_Storage” in Magisk
DONE
Want Xposed? -> Search for the one for Android 7.1.1
Want app data to SD card? -> ExSDCard Access Enabler (Magisk) + XInternalSD (Xposed)
Want app obb to SD card? -> ExSDCard Access Enabler (Magisk) + Obb on SD (Xposed)
Want ram (swap), CPU tweak? -> App2SD

My C8 is 8.1 tried resetting back to factory, still 8.1
Noted your comment re ODIN, but I use Linux, Odin seems Win only.
Have successful rooted and installed Lineage on an old Note 3, but I didn't have to downgrade that!
Can you give me please, some guidance how I can return this wretched thing back to 7.1?
Actually, I am suspecting return is the wrong word as it may have come with 8.1 installed.
I'm a bit lost at this point.
Cheers

Poco F1 root

Hi
I have installed Lineage Os 16 custom rom for Poco F1.
But the problem is i can't root the device.
I have downloaded the magisk 20.1 zip and the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip from:
https://magisk.me/root-xiaomi-poco-f1-using-magisk/
I enter the TWRP , i flashed first the disable force encryption zip, i rebooted to twrp , i flashed the magisk and i rebooted the device,
Magisk manager installed properly but when i tap Safety Net Check Success i get the ctsProfile:false.
Rootchecker also gives me the message that root is not properly installed.
Any ideas but if possible without having to format data .
I also tried (after another members suggestion) to flash magisk 19.4, canary magisk but with no results.
thank you in advance
First of all: keep it simple. Set screen lock to swipe. That avoids encryption too. Go twrp and wipe system and re-flash ROM (and GApps if needed) that restores boot image.
Second: try rooting with lineageOS native addonsu from download/extras. Enable it in developer options.

Help root xiaomi mi 10t lite

Hello, I would need help to root my device, if someone could bring me advice I'm taking, I own remote control software if it tempts someone to help me I'm up for it
Have you unlocked the bootloader and install TWRP first?
The bootloader is unlocked, TWRP is not installed, I had to read the forums to try to install TWRP but my phone is stuck on fastboot impossible to do anything
You can root very easily:
1. start the phone in fastboot mode
2. from a PC type command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
3. once in TWRP, install magisk.zip file (don't forget to follow new instructions for Magisk v22)
4. once Magisk has been installed, reboot to system
5. congrats, your phone is rooted now (without TWRP permanently installed)
hello

You might have incompatible module installed (for example SafetyNet fix) - disable all modules temporarily, install Magisk and see if the phone starts.
I disabled all the modules before installing the recovery rom, however there is the uninstall of magisk 22.0 and safetynet fix?

Can you start the phone without Magisk installed?
yes
I solved by disabling modules from orange fox recovery,
how can i do to see the contents of the android folder, that is scoped storage?

You are contradicting yourself a little, you said that you disabled all modules before recovery ROM installation, now that you disabled them from Orange recovery. It might help to describe steps which you did and current status of your phone.
I had disabled them from magisk, but in the twrp they were active, and when I realized it I disabled them from twrp and I solved them.
p. s.
safetynet fix is compatible with android 11 and magisk 22?
i wouldn't ruin it again

Unlock bootloader
Flash a recovery (fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img)
Reboot into recovery (fastboot reboot and hold power and volume up)
Load magisk zip on an EXTERNAL SD find it and flash
Boom
for scoped storage is there a solution?

You need to reinstall safetynet fix after Android upgrade, installation script uses different files for different Android versions.
What issue exactly do you have with storage?
after the update open file manager and if I click on android - date I no longer see the folders
i tried to install safetynetfix from twrp but it gives me error

Install from magisk under the modules section, then install from storage
gave me mistake because i had wrong files
Just for notification. If safety net is important with you. Install latest stable xiaomi.eu rom v12.0.11.0. Safety net is passed and implement in rom. I 've installed it...Developers continue playing cat and mouse with Google

Question Rooting Oneplus 9 Pro

I recently got my 9 Pro and since i'm used to samsung and the crappy knox, i was wondering if i root/install custom roms and i want to reflash the stock rom and relock the bootloader, will i be locked out of certain stuff or does the system still see that the phone was once running unofficial software like samsung does with knox?
No, you shouldn't be locked out of anything going back to stock...
Here's a good read & guide explaining the many update options:

Magisk root method is a very advanced and safest method. And the best part of this method is that you will receive the OTA update, and you will be able to use banking apps without any problems.
First of all, download the latest Magisk Zip file on your phone.
Then rename the downloaded Magisk apk file extension .apk to .zip.
Move the Magisk zip file to your phone’s internal storage.
And make sure you have a Custom Recovery installed on your phone.
Now Boot your OnePlus 9 Pro to TWRP Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Up + Power Button at the same time until open TWRP mode.
Tap on Install from the TWRP Recovery page.
Now locate Magisk.Zip file from your internal storage and select it.
After Tap on Swipe to Confirm Flash.
Then Reboot your phone.
Once your phone boots up, install Magisk Manager APK.
You have Successfully Rooted you OnePlus 9 Pro device.
