Hi there,
as I never owned any Windows-based PC but only Macs and nevertheless use Samsung phones and tablets I searched for a possibity to flash my N5100, which is not supported by the Cyanogenmod-installer. After a lot of looking around, I here compile the way it worked for me.
As always: I take no responsibility at all - be sure you know what you do or don't do it. Your device can be bricked, although the risk is small if you follow the instructions step by step.
Credits and thanks to Chainfire for his wonderful work and to Bill Anderson, whos guide helped me a lot and is the base for the heimdall-part of the guide.
If the nerds here complain about this guide being too simple, I don't mind - folks like me need it that way...
1. Download and install Heimdall
2. Download and install an app to unarchive tar.md5-files (p.e. The Unarchiver) – Mac OS won't do that on its own.
3. Create a folder for the process, p.e. /Autoroot, wherever you'll find it when you need it.
4. Download the CF-Auto-Root for the device (here) and save it into this folder
5. Extract the CF-Autor-Root-mxxxx-yyyy.tar.md5 – file – you'll get 2 files: cache.img and recovery.img
6. Start Heimdall, klick the Utilities-tab
7. Shut down your Samsung device.
8. Start it in „download-mode“: press the VolumeDown + Home + Power keys. You'll get a warning and press VolumeUp to proceed.
9. Connect the device to your Mac via USB.
10. In Heimdall, press the Detect button. The display should show „Device detected“.
11. Click on the Utility-tab and then the Save as button of the Download PIT section - browse to the folder created in step 3 and enter a file name such as Samsungxxxx.pit. Save.
12. Once you got the PIT file, you can click the „Flash“ tab.
13. Use the Browse button to select the PIT file downloaded in Step 11.
14. Click the Add button to add a partition.
15. From the Partition Name menu, select Recovery.
16. In the File box, browse to the recovery.img file that you retrieved in step 5.
17. Repeat steps 14 through 16 for the Cache partition.
18. Click each partition in the Partitions box to verify that it is associated with the correct file.
19. Check the No Reboot option, as you do not want Heimdall to automatically reboot the device – if the process fails with checked No Reboot-option, try it again with No Reboot unchecked, for me, it worked this way and I proceeded with step 23.
20. Click the Start button, and watch the Status text area where the progress of the flashing can be seen until the "Flash completed successfully!" message.
21. Hold down the Power button and unplug the USB cable. Keep holding down the Power button, and press the VolumeUp button until the Samsung device boots into Recovery mode.
22. Your Samsung device should automatically reboot after CF-Auto-Root installs.
23. You should by now have a superuser-access. Verify this with any terminal emulator app by entering su command and granting SuperSU root privileges to the emulator app You use.
24. Install Mobile Odin onto your device.
25. After starting the app, grant superuser-access.
26. Download the recovery you like, p.e.PhilZ Touch Recovery (for your device) and copy it onto the SD-card of your device, p.e. using android filetransfer.
27. Download the custom-ROM you like, p.e. cyanogenmod (for your device) and copy it onto the SD-card of your device, p.e. using android filetransfer.
28. In Mobile Odin click on Recovery → Internal SD-card and choose the recovery you just copied onto it.
29. Restart the device into the recovery mode, holding Home + VolumeUp + Power
30. Choose Install from zip and choose the custom-ROM you just copied onto the SD-card
31. Done!
Hope these lines could be helpful for Mac-users...

Hello,
I am sorry if this is annoying in any way. I have spent the whole day trying to figure out how to root my Samsung Galaxy A11 and already wiped it twice.
There is not TWRP custom recovery available for it. To my understanding so far, I need TWRP if I want to install custom ROMs. I really do not care about installing custom ROMs. I have been trying to figure out how to root using the stock ROM.
Everywhere I look it says that I need to patch the stock ROM before flashing it by patching the boot.img file in the stock ROM download. I have downloaded several GBs of ROMs over a very slow connection and none of them has the boot.img file. I have the tar.md5 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) but not boot.img. How do I proceed in this situation?
My phone model: SM-A115F/DS
Baseband version: A115FXXU1ATG1
Country: Egypt
Any help will be much appreciated.

I have managed to find this saviour.

I downloaded a random J6 firmware in another site.
You have to use 7zip software, it's free, much better than WinRar and supports tons of compression formats. Do these steps with 7zip:
-Unpack zip file.
-Rename the "*.tar.md5" to "*.tar".
-Open the ".tar" file and unpack "boot.img.lz4".
-Unpack "boot.img.lz4" file.
-It's done, you now have the "boot.img" file you were looking for

Just one thing to point out, 7zip did not work properly to extract the boot.img from boot.img.lz4. I used the solution in this answer. https://superuser.com/a/1533657
Now, let's see if I can patch the boot.img

Hey there. I'm searchin' for TWRP for my A11 and no use.No one compile it and nobody can't write full f*****' guide how to build TWRP without any config file (or how to create 'em for building from 0). But honestly I'm not about TWRP.
Why do we need TWRP for Android 10!?
A: Samsung lock phones /system partition to Read-Only state. You can get root but you can't mount your partition as Read-Write, make changes in it. It's only waste of time.
How can I install ROOT for my samsung A**?
A: Very simple. I suggest you using Magisk Manager for it!
What do I need and what do I must do?
A:
1. You need unlock the bootloader of your phone (data will be lost).
2. You need original USB cable (from box of phone).
3. Yon need last firmware to your phone. (I'm using SamFirm or Frija)
4. Windows 7 or higher.
5. 7-Zip
6. Odin
How:
Stage I: Bootloader.
0. Remove all Google and Samsung Accounts
1. Make data backup (for recoverying)
2. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> ADB Debug (set Enabled) (Search in web how to get Developer options Settings menu)
3. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM Unlock (set Enabled)
4. Turm off Phone and wait for 10 seconds.
5. Plug USB of Phone to your PC BUT PHON MYST BE UNPLUGGED!
6. Push and hold buttons: VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN and plug USB from PC to your Phone and still hold buttons!
7. When phon will be realy you'll see a light blue screen that ask you: Shall I unlock bootloader (Long press Volume UP), Shall I enter in download mode (short 'click' Volume Up) or I must turn off (Hold Volude Down)
8. Press and Hold VOLUME UP
9. On screen you'll se the message you'll unlock your bootloader... To hell Press POWER BUTTON.
10. Phone goes to reboot and start WIPING PROCESS!
11. That it. You unlocked bootloader. But will you install ROOT?
If so:
12. Make first setup of your phone but don't set google account and etc. Just make it working.
13. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> ADB Debug (set Enabled)
14. Validate that's you've done everything right: Find OEM Unlock if toogle is gray and not responging to your actions then you've done right!
15. No download firware to your PC.
16. After you had downloaded firmware for your phone you'll fave few files you need file with prefix "AP_" open it with 7-Zip.
17. Get from it file: "boot.img.lz4" and put to some location at your PC.
18. Pack your "boot.img.lz4" with 7-Zip to "boot.img.lz4.tar" (YOU MUST USE *.TAR ARCHIVE TYPE)
19. Install Magisk Manager to your phone and put your archive "boot.img.lz4.tar" to location: Internal Memory/Download
20. Connect to WiFi and run Magisk Manager.
21. Make Kernel Patch with Magisk: Select: "Install Magisk" -> "Patch boot image" -> in file picker navigate and select "boot.img.lz4.tar"
22. (Magisk will do everything)
23. When it's done in folder "Internal Memory/Download" will be magisk_patched.tar copy it to your Windows.
24. (On PC) Run Odin as Administrator. And in tab "Options" unselect checkbox "Auto Reboot"
25. Turn off your phone and wait for 10 seconds, then Press and hold VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN and plug in your USB from PC to phone.
26. Phone will ask you what do need to do, just click VOLUME UP and you enter into Download mode
27. Odin must show you COM number.
28. Select as AP file "magisk_patched.tar" and press Start.
29. If you see PASS! in Odin - You've done! If ERR! then you failed to unlock the bootloader!
30. Now turn of fyour phone and enter into Recovery Mode (on turned off phone hold POWER + VOLUME UP)
30.a. If you failed to enter try in with ADB command: 'adb reboot recovery' (no quotes)

Please I can't seem to unlock my bootloader because OEM Unlocking functionality is missing on my device. I have tried and still can't find it. Can I root the device without Unlocking the bootloader?

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.

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.

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]

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

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 ****

Tell me what this applies to Turkey? So can I install android 11 with the method you explained in the 3rd row?
Got updated to UI 3.0 android 11 ota and updated
I rooted my Android 10 M31 with Magisk using the Magisk image patching method so now my phone is everything stock + magisk root (no custom kernel or recovery) and a few root applications/modules such as Vanced, ViperFX and adAway.
Oddly enough, I have received a push notification from Samsung about the availability of the Android 11 update. But I don't feel safe to OTA update my phone because of root. So is there any way I can update it without losing any data and without losing root?
Thanks in advance!
Fota update
ADB-method:
1. Download SDK platform tools from here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Extract them on your desktop.
3. Inside the extracted folder put the update.zip
4. Inside this folder, holding left shift, right click the mouse and select "open command prompt here". The command prompt will open.
5. Shutdown the phone.
6. Holding power+volume up buttons, enter into recovery mode.
7. Select "update via ADB". (you scroll down using the volume buttons and select using the power button).
8. Connect the phone to the PC using original samsung USB cable.
9. In the command prompt run the following command:
./adb devices
10. Wait to see that the daemon has started and that your device is found.
11. If you device is found, run the following command:
./adb sideload update.zip
The update process will start. You will see a percentage counting. First it will verify, then patch etc. Do not move the cable, disconnect the phone or power off the PC.
Once the process is completed (it takes some time) the phone will boot itself, update the apps and log into your home screen.
SD-card method:
1. Download the bin file and rename it to update.zip (by going to file options in win10 you can select to view the file extensions. This makes the renaming process much easier and safer, and avoids renaming the file to update.zip.zip)
2. Copy it to the root directory of your SDcard.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Hold simultaneously Power+volume up buttons to get into stock recovery.
5. Using your volume keys navigate to "update via SdCard" and press power button to select it.
6. Again using volume keys navigate to the file "update.zip" and press power button to select it.
7. Update will start. Leave it till it completes. It will take some time.
8. Phone will reboot by itself and load android.
