[Q] Rooting problems. Flash recovery before root?

Hey,
So I'm a noob at this and I tried to root my phone.
Got the Android unified toolkit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
And followed wwjoshdew's video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRWk8d0sUQ&hd
I picked the Allinone root option on the toolkit and proceeded. At the next step, when my phone entered download mode, it said I need to flash the recovery, recommended TWRP. But in the video, josh directly opens the root folder on odin and starts that. I did what josh did and that completed successfully. But when my device rebooted, on the toolkit, it said could not find recovery and I should try again. And there is no supersu on my phone either.
What have I done wrong? Do I need to flash the recovery before rooting?
Thanks in advance.
You have did only root.
But... a custom recovery is highly recommended (the better is Philz Recovery, CWM-based with some TWRP function).
Also a root manager is reccomended: Superuser is a great open source alternative to SuperSU, but I can't say you which is the best.
Ps actually I can't see video guide nor thread, my answer is based on what you said in the topic, so at first tell me if phone in "Settings > Info about" menu result with a custom firmware instead official. Otherwise you haven't even did root.
It's showing the stock version. No custom build. I just wanted to root so I could use apps like Greenify.
Do I need to do a flash the recovery first?

I didn't ask you for stock or custom rom. If you did root, in "Info about phone" the system status is showed as "custom".
Greenify should works also without root, but with limitations.
Recovery is highly recommended for you and also for some advanced apps who need this to flash something.
Then also a root manager for security reasons and a better device control is reccomended.
You can't stay without both, but I suggest to have both.
Ps without doing root you can't flash anything, nor via Odin! [emoji6]
It's showing Device Status as Official.
I understand that I need to root first before I can do anything. However when I followed the vid, it said before rooting if I had any recovery installed and needed me to install one first.
That's why I'm confused. I thought it was root first then flash recovery.

You haven't to be confused: for example CF-Auto-Root do it and automatically flash recovery (CWM) and root manager (SuperSU).
You can flash them by downloading the device specific file (I9300).
If you want to change root manager simply uninstall SupetSU and download by Play Store Superuser (from Chainfire eh!), if you want dislike or want to update recovery, simply flash another via Odin or zip file.
Advice
My advice is this:
1. search for a MD5 file from Philz Touch like here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/
2. Download Odin3.09 from here: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Odin3_12992520.html
3. Go to download mode by pressing volume down, home button and power on
4. Flash it by clicking AP and select the MD5 file
5. boot to recovery pressing volume up, home button plus power on
6. go to philz settings, Reroot system
7. download SuperSu from market
Than you're done

Without root you can't do anything. This option is useful for people who have maintained Philz Recovery on an unrooted system.

I think we have to relock the boot loader..
The zip is too large. If I download the OTA on phone, is it the same size or is it a smaller file size?
And if I manually flash from recovery, don't I need to clear cache?

Hi
The message is very clear:
Your /system partition is RW (read write)
Thats becouse you rooted the device and enabled RW on /system.
Put the /system partition back to his stock state (Read only) and you should be good to go

If you stuck on searching updates: just push power button and slide the restart button.
After this it will start over but will pass the update chek!
For root: download the magisk.apk and Magisk-v18.1(18100).zip from download link that I have given.
Put them in your phones internal storage. Install magisk.apk and run it once.
Then go in recovery TWRP and instal Magisk-v18.1(18100).zip, wipe cahe when asked.
Restart phone =>ROOTED!
You can find Magisk also in google Play!.
Have fun!

THANK YOU tlgod! Well done!
There is also the alternative to go back to official ROM:
1. Download the official ROM - CN or Global - you can find links in this thread
2. Copy ROM in internal storage (preferable in root)
3. Go in Settings-System Update-Menu (3 dots in upper right corner) - local update
4. Choose the ROM you downloaded and install > if you choose CN ROM: you are back to original recovery, boot, ROM
5. If you want to go back to global ROM you will have some more steps: need to wipe all USER DATA and CACHE in original Recovery after update (this will erase your internal memory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so BACKUP BACKUP....!!!!!!, now the phone can be restarted.
Global ROM will encrypt your Phone!!!! therefore when you go from Global to CN or back you need to wipe your USER DATA and lost everything from internal storage!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can watch also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5wOxvzxrfQ
Is in Spanish but ..self explanatory

Yes, I put everything in one folder (ROM Magisk.apk and zip, twrp), so you don't need another link.
For developer bug: you need to root the phone and you will get acces to developer options!
P.S. Sometimes a restart is also a good option!

Unlock your bootloader again, flash TWRP (again ), go through ROM install procedure (again) as I mentioned in 1st post, but this time put also blu_spark r36 Red Magic's kernel in zip list to be flashed. In this way the original kernel (which has some security measures implemented in it and in case of some modifications in ROM it will overwrite the recovery with a backup from internal memory, I think is located in DATA folder...) will be overwritten and recovery will be preserved. At least this procedure I find at this moment.
Good Luck!

Thank you
Flashing this @ A505GN. Hope it works
The twrp works but the multi disabler didn't work
This is a505gn
I reverted back to 3.4 because I encountered an issue. I'm stuck in bootloop, cannot access twrp nor download mode. Had to remove the back of my phone and unplug the ribbon connecting the battery to the phone just to power it off.
I already flashed the twrp via Odin but when I installed Magick on the phone this came up. Did I done something wrong?

Yes, you can update it from magisk apps
It worked!
I had to run a patched AP first for magisk to work
Im on a A505G/DS
It worked just fine on my A505FN! Thanks!
Worked perfectly on A505W !
Had to use Multidisabler 3.1 instead.
I have an A505FN and I'm not able to root it with Magisk. If I try to install the linked TWRP_v3.5.0_A505_A11_Magisk.tar with Odin, then I can't reboot into Recovery afterwards - instead the Download-Mode appears again.
With RR-TWRP_v3.4.0_A505_CUBC_OneUI.tar from another Thread, it's possible to start into TWRP after flashing it with Odin. But if I boot into System (LOS 18.1) and start the already preinstalled Magisk, Magisk updates itself and after restart of Magisk I can try to install Magisk and in the first screen "Recovery Mode" is checked. If I click on "Next step", the Option "Recovery Mode" disappears and I can choose a file to patch.
I don't know where I'm wrong.

Thank you Sharath Mane,

after booting into System I started Magisk and after Download and Install there is - *no Magisk installed* - only the App

Galaxy A8 Star (SM-G885S/F) GSI ROM Flashing [Android 12 Working]

This is my first post of this kind so bear with me, please
Info for Galaxy A8 Star:
CPU : SDM660 ( A only, 64bit )​Support Project Treble​Support System as root​
※WARNING※
You will have to have OEM unlocked and this will void your warranty!!!
※also, I'm not responsible for the accident about you bricking your device※​Step. 1
First of all, you will need to download two custom recoveries (TWRP, OrangeFox)
OrangeFox: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/orange-fox-recovery-galaxy-a8-star-sm-g885f.4301055/
TWRP: https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_samsung_astarqlte (test3 file does not work for me but you can try)
I want to finish it only using TWRP but the only TWRP that was working does NOT support flashing the system.img files
and also Orange Fox recovery has a bug that while in recovery you can't connect with the computer and push the files to the phone
so it was required to use two bootloader
Step. 2
Odin: https://odindownload.com/
I also recommend downloading the stock ROM for backup
1. after downloading the TWRP from the link (for Odin we will use the .tar file)
put your phone into download mode
Code:
adb reboot download
or just turn off the phone and press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
and use the volume button to boot into download mode
2. after the phone went to the download mode, go to Odin and at the ap section add the TWRP file then flash it
3. press the volume down, power button to turn off the device, and right after that press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
4. you will now see the TWRP recovery, press wipe, and format data
5. now we will download some files we needed
makemesar.zip: (at the attachment) or you can download it from https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?export=download&confirm=P1-1&id=1F_f_tL4sEYFx5fa6AnwR0x1tlYhqarcT ( when you unzip it there is the zip file )​​Permissiver_5.zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117940902​​Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/166texWJQhR1RgRoXiRSH_M2Q2mAyS2gC/view​​Certification_Patch.zip: (at the attachment)​​Havoc Rom (you can use any rom you want but this is the one that I've managed to work) http://download.havoc-os.com/?dir=arm64-ab (download arm64 ab with gapps)​​most rooms with AB partition will be supported​​Magisk: https://magiskmanager.com/ (download the apk and make it a zip file) - you could need for the phone to get the boot (makemesar will unroot it so don't worry)​​6. after downloading all the files that we need, we will push the files to our device using
Code:
adb push 'file dir' sdcard
※ also push TWRP .img file and the OrangeFox .img too!!
7. after pushing all the files we need to our phone, press install from the TWRP recovery and press flash from image
and select the Orange Fox .img as a recovery image, and reboot to bootloader
8. now you will boot to the Orange Fox recovery, (locate to data/media to find the files)
at the Orange Fox recovery wipe System, Dalvlk / ART Cache, Cache, Data
9. after wiping now install the os.img file and reboot to the bootloader (before reboot you will see the warning that OS is not installed), go to the menu and mount system, vendor, and install Dm Verity.zip, Permissiver_5.zip, makemesar.zip then reboot to the bootloader again, (now we will not see the OS is not installed) and now install the Certification Patch.zip
10. reboot to the system and you will see the new os setup process (sometimes you have to install the Certification Patch after setup the os )
10-1. if your device keeps going to download mode, reinstall the magisk and then reboot the phone, then it will work.
(after it boots, gently turns off the phone and install makemesar.zip first and install Dm-Verity to unroot) - some of you will be forced to use magisk but doing some wiping or reflashing the system.img sometimes makes the unrooted state work (or flash the stock system.img (extract from the stockrom) and flash the gsi ROM without wiping )
Screenshots: At Below
Currently, MTP does not work but I think this is the problem with the Havoc os, if you use another rom it could work
face unlock, fingerprint unlock works, the camera works.
if I manage to get other ROMs workingI will update the post
also at the first time I have made mine to boot without magisk but while doing again for this post I'm having trouble without magisk, if I found a way that works always I will add that to the post
[UPDATE#2]
you can download the Pixel 3 gsi rom from
(Thanks for Santa Duck providing this information!!!!)
with this files you can install the android 12 gsi rom in a usable state!!
and also ADB is working with this rom
there is still a bootlooping bug so do it with caution
[Update#1]
Today I have managed to install the Android Beta 3.1 [ is beta software and I don't recommend using it as your daily os]
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nippongsi/files/Pixel%20-%20Pixel4a_SBeta3.1%20-%20TBO42ZZ8IF/Pixel4a_SBeta3.1-AB-12-20210727-nippongsi.img.gz/download
you can download the ROM file from Nippon's Sourceforge
every step is the same and you just have to change the rom as this
there's a bug that developer setting crash the settings app and it is working but it does have some lots of bugs, and screen lock is not working but I'll try to fix it and upload the method
if your device get boot looped, press Bixby + power + vol down to boot into download mode and flash the stock AP file using Odin
[I was supposed to edit the upper one but accidentally created as a reply ]
Just go to UPDATE#2

Hi I'm back. Do you have any issue with wired audio? I have a A9 2018 (same chipset) and audio still goes through speaker while headphones are plugged in.
If anything in Phh Treble Settings helps you, please tell me. Or if you don't need any settings for wired audio, can you send me a zip file containing any files that have the name "audio_policy" in /vendor/etc? Thanks.
