How to install Magisk ???
If one of it's installation steps is to be fully unrooted first and the boot image should be stock.
I already rooted and modified the boot image as for this device we need to flash a file to the boot.img to stop the device from encrypting the internal storage to be able to mount it.
Please Help ...

By Odin flash TWRP, copy the Magisk file to the memory of the phone or to the SD card and Magisk flash by TPWR recovery.
When you restart, install the Magisk manager apk and that's it.

This is normal and it happened because you flashed the AP file only
If you want to get rid of these Russian providers menus and have stock settings menu you need to flash the full rom files (BL+AP+CP+CSC) via Odin.

No you shouldn't get a fail.
If you're encountering any issues in flashing via Odin make sure to use the latest version 3.12.3

im using 3.12.7 and i am already on nougat but i want to flash all the files instead of only AP
is it possbile that it fails because the model number i have a 320FL not the F but i flashed the AP of F on FL it worked but if i want to flash all files it gives fail?

Many people reported that the Russian firmware is working flawlessly on A320FL Model and no one mentioned any issues during the flash process.
For me, first time i flashed the rom the flash progress stopped near the end because i was using the 3.10.7 (not 3.12.7 as you mentioned) version just like you.
After using the 3.12.3 version it worked perfectly.
So you nead to use the latest version of Odin (3.12.3)

Whether this method can be applied in galaxy a7 2017 running in nougat?

I don't think you can flash a full 4-file for a different model. Odin saves you a potential brick.
What was the error? pit file?

ODIN is prevening the flash to protect your device. The firmware is only partly compatible with your device. FL and F models likely have different partition sizes. This will cause a pit file failure.

You won.t need to flash all the files.. Only the AP file.
But due different kernel, you will kinda break nfc and other stuff

No IMEI after trying to flash Oreo

Hello,
I tried to flash Oreo but Odin showed PASS after 4 seconds and when my A5 2017 (German model) rebooted, the IMEI, IMEISV, Bluetooth address etc. became unknown.
I've already flashed Nougat Russian rom and then Nougat German rom without any problems. No root.
Does anyone know a way to fix the IMEI?
Btw: I still have the sticker with the IMEI.

Did you flash BL, AP, CP and CSC or just AP?

I flashed all four.

wipe data from recovery and then flash the original firmware that came with your device but choose the bootloader that u are using now , if your carrent firmware is U2 flash the U2 bootloader but everything else from the firmware that came with your device ... then try again

Try with SmartSwitch should fix problem.

Thanks for your answers, but I already fixed it by wiping data, flashing the original German firmware and doing the same with the Oreo one afterwards!

Hello
The problem is simple
The problem is in Odin
Download the latest version Odin3_v3.13.1
That is available on the SS_DL.dll file:fingers-crossed:

No, Knox is only tripped when you modify the bootloader.

SM-A720F (A7 2017) Flashing INS firmware over XSG - Odin Error

I have a Samsung A7 2017 (SM-A720F) brought from UAE having latest Oreo update. While I tried to flash an INS version over this Odin detects the phone. But after hitting start it takes some time and gives error like failed. I also tried to root it with CF-AutoRoot file. Those also have the same error. Developer mode, USB debugging and OEM unlock are ON. Trying with windows 10 + Odin 3.13 (latest). Any solution ?

Combination file successfully flashed. But, still not able to flash another country File. Can I proceed with original country file (i.e XSG stock firmware) ?
Please help me

Root with twrp and magisk, cfautoroot is OG in my opinion . Try flashing just CSC_home or whatever it is called in Odin.

I'm able to flash Combination file, original country (XSG) file and also flashes TWRP. But, I can't get access to TWRP after flashing it. Always it replaced by Stock recovery. And apart these 3 files nothing flashes, including CSC file alone...

When you flash twrp, untick auto reboot in odin. Boot straight into twrp without booting system.

It won't help change the csc. But hadesrom oneui has a huge selection of csc's you can select when flashing it.

If I flashed HadesROM OneUI with 'INS' CSC can I able to downgrade it with INS Stock firmware in future ?
Is the binary thing really need to consider while flashing that ?
PS : I looked on HadesROM. It is temptating. But, the real problem is with VoLTE which affects the network badly here... The VoLTE only network is a large mess here... And thanks for your unconditional Help & Support :fingers-crossed:

It should work to change csc with Hades and then flash stock. Just make sure you don't reflash csc then because it could change.

Question ROOT A32 4G

Many users report imei errors months after rooting. I don't recommend rooting. we do not know the origin of the problem
Hi friends.
On Topjohnwu's github, there´s a note about root any Samsung without recovery
Basically, extract the AP from stock firmware, copy it to phone, install magisk from xda forum, patch it, download the patched file to your pc and flash it using Odin.
You must fresh flash the entire ROM and the patched AP, userdata MUST be formatted (use CSC, not HOME_CSC)
Use it at your own risk, Knox wil be tripped and you could brick your phone.
Search the note into Topjohnwu´s github, Magisk section, Install and search for specific samsung section.
Be careful and enjoy rooting!

Here's my story, I patched the AP file and flashed it using odin, didn't add any other stock firmware files. I was able to attain root privileges, then the unthinkable happened. I received a call and it got disconnected instantly. The network signals vanished, I restarted the phone and was welcomed with a flash notification message "IMEI null or invalid."
I've since flashed it 10-12 times.
IMEI hasn't been restored, wifi works though.
I've given up hope now, my daughter attends her school classes on it.

I have never heard of such a case. Where did you get the boot.img from? It must be the same version as your phone. I recommend you flash a clean software by Odin, without root, and verify that everything is normal

Downloaded and extracted the AP file from the original firmware. It has happened with another guy, he did post a video on youtube, fixed it using some Z3X box.

The firmware was the original, but was it the same version as the one you had installed?

You must download the exact version of rom for your country/carrier. Search for it in sammobile.

Were you able to root it?
Also, in addition to the patched AP file do we need to flash the BL, CP and CSC files?

Yep no issues. Magisk hide, all working.
When you extracted the boot img, there where another files into the AP file provided by samsung that must be flashed too.
Do you have the patched file? Try flashing BL, CP, CSC and AP and then flash again only the patched boot.img into AP.
But I think it has nothing to the root with loose of imei.
Was your phone a company one? Like verizon, etc?

No, it's unlocked. Did you patch the whole AP file or just the boot file through magisk? I patched the entire AP file. If you could please list all the steps, it would be a huge help. Thanks.
