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

if you want a clean install first install Nougat BL AP CP CSC of your device. After first boot on the settings screen, shutdown the device and go into bootloader mode, select AP from OREO, no other one, only AP. Press start and you A320FL will be upgrade to OREO. I installed Russia Oreo on A320Y

First flash clean nougat and use nougat fles only. When it boot first time where you start putting settings language etc. Shut down and flash only oreo AP file-> done
Its reset your phone...
CSC Oreo will get error of pit file wrong. BL Oreo will get error of Bootloader wrong. CP Oreo will get error of modem wrong. AP Oreo only contain upgrade files, this file is the correct to upgrade. Now, if you want a clean install, first flash Nougat and then flash only AP file from Russia Oreo, other ones files (BL, CP, CSC) are get error because not corresponding to device

Flashing an official stock ROM (with Odin) should never trip Knox. At least it never happened to me with other Samsung phones (Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy Alpha). I haven't tried with this one, but I bet it will be safe.

Root on SM-G985F S20+ 4G Breaks Camera ?

Good Hello Everyone,
I rooted my SM-G985F but the camera stopped working and I don't know what caused it! Some users report theirs is working. Can you help me narrow it down or even fix this issue?
I patched AP TBM with MAGISK 72f6770d and then with 7z, I replaced the kernel with this one flashed all files in odin. And it seems like I have root, although only magisk modules worked so far from what I tested like @geiti94 said because of limitations of only read. Yeah only downside for me, I can't use the camera.
Did I used a old version of Magisk?
Did I replaced the kernel the wrong way?
Is it because my device is 4G?
thanks for help.
its because you used a kernel from another phone model.
instead, extract "virgin" boot.img.lz4 from ap file, tar it up and send to phone, patch in magisk and flash from odin.

Oh Dude someone replied! Should I do it like this:
extract with 7z or RAR the boot.img file from a clean/stock AP file.
tar it up? What does that mean? just change the file extension? Just renaming it? Or is a different process?
and then just the boot.img via odin in AP slot or whole firmware?
sorry I know many noob questions...
But thanks so far.

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.
