What is the best rooting method for A70? - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've had the A70 for about a year now and I'm really itching to get this rooted! I can see a few posts that people are successfully rooting their A70.
What's the best 100% working method to install Trwp and rooted? I don't want a method that you have to mess about with pressing buttons just to make the phone boot I'd rather wait for a fully working method.
Thanks

there is TWRP guide, and for ANdroid 10 there's separate guide on rooting. Just read and follow it.

Samsung A70 requires following instructions to the word for successful root.
I for one had problem having stable root on stock Android 9 with twrp recovery.
I have tried lots of guides, none but the one linked in my signature which is not eve mine, actually worked for me

Help Updating Please

Ok So i have the pixel xl on build NDE63P its a vzw phone thats been unlocked and rooted only nothing else and i have had the update thing on my screen for a couple days now and kinda looking for someone to explain the steps i would need to update the phone and re root.
Exactly the same situation here except that I have an XL and a non-XL (wife's phone). Too many failed attempts to sideload or otherwise update to one of the newest versions for me to risk this yet. I disable the notification until a good (safe) step by step has been documented.

I updated mine via the sideload and update.zip method in stock recovery. This seems a bit more thorough.

Downgrading from 6.0.1 - 5.1.1??????

First of all, let me say hello to everyone. I read the forums a lot but rarely post. This forum is a Great resource!! Thank you al for making it what it is.
Now, my issue. I have a Galaxy Note 4 SH-N910V which is currently running on 6.0.1.. From what I've read, I need to downgrade that to 5.1.1 just so I can root it, and then go from there. The problem is, I have to have root to flash a custom ROM. I seem to be stuck in a vicious cycle .
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this?
I want to root and then install a custom rom, but as you can see, I'm somewhat new to flashing and all that, and truth be told, I'm probably getting in over my head. It's all good though, i'muse to learning things the hard way
Thanks in advance!

You're correct, you will need to flash the bpa1 firmware for 5.1.1 and get your bootloader unlocked on Lp first. Here's a pretty good thread on the Lp unlock process and for downgrading your bootloader you can use this download. After you get unlocked on Lp, you can move forward to the unlock process for mm.
Cool, thanks. I've got it flashed to 5.1.1 but havent done anything with thee bootloader..

Hi Michael... I'm in the same boat as you... How did you flash the 5.1.1 rom?
I used the guide at the link below but I stopped at step 9 when I got stuck in a bootloop. I later found that a bootloop at that step is normal. You just pull your battery and leave it out for a minute and then fire it back up and it's ok.
Gonna give it another shot today.

Most of the forums on the note 4 on xda are very confusing because they include firmware/files you do not want to use to root and unlock.

You shouldn't get caught in a bootloop until you unlock. And that will be caused by the sd card. The process looks more daunting than it is. If you need any help, let me know.
I think I have a problem. I got to step 9 and got the bootloop so I panicked and flashed a recovery for 6.0.1. The phone works fine, but when I try to do a system restore it boots to recovery mode.it that top, in yellow, it shows 6.0.1. BUT,,, when I look at the "about phone", it does show that I'm on 5.1.1.
Should I continue with the process from step 9? Or should I just do a system update and start over with a fresh 6.0.1?
Edit,,,I should add that, I am able to get root with kingroot, but the phone reboots after a few minutes and root is gone.

When it comes to root, OnePlus is actually more 'Android' main stream than Samsung:
OnePlus: unlock phone, fastboot flash or boot TWRP and flash Magisk on Oreo (Magisk or SuperSU on Nougat)
Samsung: needs Odin or heimdall and/or Chainfire root magic for each model.

I get that. I was looking for a way to root without going through or changing recovery. The old methods. Just root with nothing else that's what i meant by mainstream. Plus all Samsung are available in store. This phone is not. Making it less mainstream the samsung

Once you are root, you can restore original recovery.
You cannot root without a custom recovery. Every phone has to be like that since MM. The days of 1 click root apk are dead.

that is correct, but you can (if you want)
- install custom recovery
- root with custom recovery
- (re)install stock recovery

You can... With Magisk, you can patch a copy of your device's boot image and then flash that with fastboot. Done, no custom recovery needed.

But i didn't see the twrp method in your thread like we did root old devices like simply turn device into download mode put the twrp.tar file in AP slot then reboot to Twrp mode and flash SuperSu which was in SD card and after that when we were reboot our device we saw the SuperSu in our Phone as a application that was simple way to root i want to root like this and i want twrp too because its so hard to understand your method and also the A70 twrp thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a70-t3955984
Its also very hard to understand because in twrp thread i have to perform so many steps and your too also didn't have twrp before rooting I'm so scared after read thread any video tutorial..? To flash twrp and SuperSu i like describe and wrote above..?

if you updated to android 10 twrp won't work , if you are still on SL4 , you just need to patch grarak recovery.img instead of AP

Your mentioned method was for older Samsung devices like note 4,5 and the like
Rooting and twrp installing on newer Samsung devices is a bit different
Previously we used superSU for root but now we use magisk as root solution. Rooting with magisk is as easy as superSU method but the procedure is different. It not difficult by any means
The linked guides is the safest method for A70.
Read the forums and all comments. Follow instruction word by word.
If you encounter problem ask on the concerned forums
Still if you are too scared, maybe don't root and use the phone as such till you get confident enough to proceed with it.

I haven't since I don't feel the need to owing to reason this device is my 2ndary driver and not that much in use.
But whatever your confusion are, voice them at the forums and threads and people will reply back
A video tutorial is already on YouTube for A70.
Infact a50 method is same as for A70 so watch any a50 method
