Hey everyone.
Since updating to 4.3 OTA (was previously 4.1 rooted) I have had no need to even use my wifi, until now. When I slide the switch to turn it on it moves over (but stays grey) for about 8 seconds then moves back to the left. I have tried a soft reset and a hard reset. What can I do to fix this?
Please help!

You said you've done a hard reset. When this happens, at reboot and set-up, one of the first tasks you'll encounter is Wi-Fi set up. Did you set up a Wi-Fi access at this time? Usually when this is done, it stays on by default, unless you specifically turn it off.

I don't recall setting up Wi-Fi access. I was having hardware problems (power button issue) and was stuck in a bootloop because of it. I'm backing up all my stuff and will do another hard reset.
Ok so I just got around to backing everything up to hard reset. When the wifi setup screen comes up it doesn't scan, it doesn't do anything. I also found out that my Bluetooth does not work as well...
I flashed NE2 yesterday, and went through the process on my phone to enable encryption, but when I pushed the button that would presumably begin the encryption, it flashed up a picture of the android briefly, then shut off, and about 30 seconds later rebooted.. without doing anything (that I can tell). I'm using the nearly stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768847).
Has anyone been able to get encryption working with NE2 / KitKat? And if so, what ROM did you use, what bootloader, recovery, etc?
Thanks!
Magisk v20 worked stable on Galaxy A50 but If you want to use Magisk v19.3 you can patch and downgrade it using Magisk Manager - Custom Channel Update https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcF0pfdQyW8
-----------------------------------------------------------
Complete Guide for Rooting Samsung Galaxy A50 using Magisk v20 / v19.3 ( tested on SM-A505F ):
* Download the firmware Galaxy A50 (SM-A505F).
* Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5. Copy AP tar file and MagiskManager apk to your phone.
* Install Magisk Manager on your phone.
* In Magisk Manager: Install → Install → Select and Patch a File
* Select the AP tar file. Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar. Copy magisk_patched.tar the tar file to your PC
* Enter Download Mode : Turn Power Off. Press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key,* When Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until Android Recovery Mode Appears.
* Select Wipe data / Factory reset, Select Reboot to bootloader.* Connect your Samsung Galaxy to PC using USB Cable.
*Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do. Checked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" only in options.
* Magisk is now successfully flashed to your device and Rebooting!
* After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. It need more time and patient.
* Connect the phone to Internet copy Magisk Manager apk to your phone and Install it
* Open Magisk Manager. It will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device.
* Done! You can use Root Checker to check it, Enjoy!

Oh I wish I could get magisk on my phone. Unfortunatly I can't find the firmware, for my phone, anywhere on the internet (A505W). Will do directly once I can!
I had it finally rooted like this since yesterday thanks to this process. Got it in root mode running today all day. THE PROBLEM IS: It doesnt stay on anymore after i reboot once again. It starts, I can put in the pincode of sim, but after 10 seconds it reboots. Without sim also reboots after 10 secs. This goes on and on and on. I read on web delete cache can help. I can sometimes boot normally once thanks to that. Root mode is hopeless, then it always reboots. I used the right stock rom. Didnt make changes of system apps etc. I havent tried factory reset yet, but i'm tired of reinstalling all apps and settings again and i asume it just will happen again. Who knows what is causing this?
Edit: It kept rebooting in any way. Used the factory reset at the end. Booted it up once without root. Set up Wifi and google account. Tried to reboot in root mode and voila: stuck in bootscreen with red letterd 'custom binnary not allowed'. Can't startup, can't go to recovery, can't flash the magisk patched zip (same red letters). Flashed stock rom and wait for the possibility to flash magisk patched again.
Edit 2: Booting in the stock rom probably registers something to let u flash something else again. Magisk patched flashed again. Booted normally, magisk up to date and working. Just gonna install fake gps, smali and magisk hide app again. Not in the mood to test reboot then again. It probably fails again. But i can spoof again for now.
Edit 3: After trying some more things, I think the conclusion is: U can only use Root mode once with this, until it reboots.
I wonder if I'm the only one with this.

That's seem pretty unstable as it is right now. Was tempting to try this on my A505W, but I'm reluctant now.
Now I'm just wondering why the heck my root is still active with 2 random reboots. Last 20 runs the random reboots made it lose root and got stuck with constant rebooting.
When i started the recovery of samsung backup, it rebooted again (3rd time) (again root is somehow still active). Screw it, gonna forget about the backup and keep it like this. I think the random rebooting seems to happen often when installing much apps.

Read my First post, I have updated it for fixing lost magisk root after reboot
I cannot pass through the flashing of image modified by Magisk. During the flash some red text appears on top saying that custom binary (VBMETA) blocked ... then there is a front camera, so I can not read it all and then "Lock" word. The flashing stops and odin waits forever. The only thing I can do is to interrupt and then reflash the whole firmware with odin since it ends up at the "error has occured while updating the device software".
My device is SM-A505FN, firmware XEZ-A505FNXXU1ASE3, OEM unlocked, tried Magisk Manager 7.3.2.

So what would happen if, by a mistake of mine, my battery dies. Do I have to reflash magisk again and factory wipe everytime? Or is the problem occur only with the "reboot" function of android since it work while fully powering it off.

Mine is still rooted since friday. It sometimes reboots randomly. Then i have to reset with volume down and power button or else is keeps restarting. Root is still active then. Battery also died yesterday. Could start up with power key only and root is still active. I still don't understand why but im good.
(I used the root mode function with volume up and power key till logo popsup only once after the flashing of magisk patcher to let it install magisk manager. )
I'm still wondering if I'm the only one with random reboots or constant reboots
Worked great for my SM-A505G.
In summary, after installing Magisk:
(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
(Volume UP + Power) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
(Volume UP + Power) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)
Hi there,
Yesterday I rooted my A505W (Canadian Variant) and got random reboots like almost every one else. It got so bad, I decided to go back to un rooted stock. Before flashing stock firmware I took a look in build.prop file, hoping I might find something that does not belong there after rooting. And I think I found it. At the very end there is line like this:
ro.expect.recovery_id=0xf1dee4214a6ffec6b8
2cec9a13222d4f34c7fd10000000000000000
000000000
Comment it out to lool like this:
#ro.expect.recovery_id=0xf1dee4214a6ffec6b8
#2cec9a13222d4f34c7fd10000000000000000
#000000000
Wanted to delete it, but it was enough to comment it out whit #
Since last night I don’t have any reboots, it looks like commenting it out did the trick. So try it for yourself an see if it helps.
One more thing, if you need to reboot your device do not do it from Magisk, because it will keep rebooting, just power down and boot with the key combination. As I said since last night I have no random reboots.
