use the copy in the .rar linked above, you will need to put it on your SD card... this process is highly dependent on using the exact files that are in the archive
I dont currently have a way to return to stock, but who would want to do that anyways?

Take a breath buddy, its just a guide, it's not complete yet, and im still trying to find a decent thread to link to since none of this info was put together in one place. This is just a thread sharing the quick and dirty with access to 100% confirmed working files. to prevent bricks. the new thread linked above will be added when i get a chance to update the original post. there is a reason there are reserved posts at the top of the thread. If it would make you happy i would gladly upload my own version of twrp instead of the one that is currently included as it has it's own set of problems
Does this have any known issues? (I know it will trip KNOX but it doesn't matter) And do we unroot via the SuperSU app?
xposed installer?
I'm having trouble installing xposed installer. I'm using the ones from wanam.

Yes, you uninstall via the supersu app. It will restore your factory kernel allowing for a genuine unroot. The custom recovery will remain of course. I actually was able to restore the ability to pass SafetyNet after unrooting.

I double-checked even triple-checked the address in MiFlash tool. It is correct.
The point to be noted here is that the error message is seeking the file "flash_all_except_storage.bat" in the Images folder in the decompressed ROM Directory. Is there any such file in the Images folder? I could not find it in the Images folder when I decompressed the ROM.

I double-checked even triple-checked the address in MiFlash tool. It is correct.
The point to be noted here is that the error message is seeking the file "flash_all_except_storage.bat" in the Images folder in the decompressed ROM Directory. Is there any such file in the Images folder? I could not find it in the Images folder when I decompressed the ROM.

If you do not see that .bat file in the decompressed folder then just choose any of the available .bat files there.
Just take note that the flash_all.bat will wipe the phone, the other one will keep the current files and will just flash (dirty install) the ROM.

I just downloaded 4.8.1 Fastboot rom and i can see followning files and folders.You can verify yours.....
And you can try putting "flash_all_except_storage.bat" file under image folder by copying it from outside.
Code:

I do not own the device anymore. So I can't support the thread anymore, if anyone wants to carry on just pm me. But as far as I know there are newer threads about this topic. Thank you
Hey there,
I decided to write a how-to on gaining root for the g531f Galaxy grand prime ve.
This should work for all grand prime devices based on marvel soc.
About this method:
Knox counter was not tripped for my device using this method.
The main steps, flashing latest stock and twrp, are perfomed by Odin. To gain root chainfire's supersu is flashed with twrp. If you are unsure about any step there are enough guides found on xda refering odin, twrp and supersu.
So let's get started.
I`M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR WARANTY LOST ON YOUR PHONE.
1. Make sure your device drivers is installed properly
2. Get Odin v3.09 for example here:
http://www.droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/
3. Get your latest firmware and extract it once
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G531F/
4. Get twrp
https://dl.twrp.me/grandprimevelte/twrp-2.8.7.1-grandprimevelte.img.tar.html
5. Get supersu by chainfire
Latest beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Or confirmed working version 5.52 beta, if the latest doesn't work thanks to @XelSam:
https://download.chainfire.eu/743/Su...erSU-v2.52.zip
6. Backup all things you need and copy supersu to external sd card
7. Boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset and wipe internal memory.
(power off device and keep holding volume up, home and power button)
8. Reboot to download Mode, then start odin and connect your device
(holding volume down, home and power button to get into download Mode)
9. Flash your firmware with Odin by using the AP button and hit start. Make sure repartition is NOT selected and untick auto reboot. This step takes some time
10. Boot to download Mode again. And flash twrp as mentioned above. Using AP and the same selection.
--if twrp doesn't boot you have to use another firmware (step 9) post #20-- thanks to @bluepower
11. Boot into twrp recovery. Hit install and select the supersu zip file then clean cache and dalvic.
(holding volume up, home and power button)
12. Reboot your phone and see if everything is working.
13. Go to dev settings and tick "manufacturer unlock" to prevent fap lock.
(unlock dev settings: Settings - about phone - tap build number 7 times). If that doesn't work check post #4 and #6 and say thx to @hck5
14. Make a nandroid in twrp recovery to have a clean rooted rom to return to if anything gets messed up with further modding (eg. xposed framework etc.)
10.1 100%Working firmware
If you can't find a version that allows to flash twrp (carrier lock) use this unbranded one:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61237/G531FXXU1AOJ2_G531FDBT1AOI2_DBT/
Check gps. If it doesn't lock install this app and configure your region.

If you are interested in xposed check wanams xposed thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
The x86 version is working fine for me
For audio enhancement I'm using dolby atmos cause Viper didn't do the trick for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
So have fun with your unchained device and hit thanks button.
Great job!
Hey there i have the same model and i'm happy that last night i've found your post
i used the pre-rooted firmware and i had the system ui rebooting problem after i uninstalled any of the apps
also i've seen guys who had that security tab problem from settings (didn't happened to me)
I am extracting the stock rom now i prepared everything
i also wanted so badly the viper fx cause the sound is pretty low
i searched for alternative but here you are with dolby atmos
i greatly thank you for the effort for posting this tuto
i will be back after i do the job!
Thanks!!!

Thx for your feedback and confirmation that it is working.
So have fun with your device.
BTW don't forget to make a nandroid backup before you mess around with xposed modules to get back to your rooted rom. I destroyed my system twice with xposed.... And I had to go through this procedure again (thanks touchwiz).
okay
ok. thanks for the advice i was just messing with the modules and i have no backup xD
there is a pic with all i have so far

custom binary locked by fap lock.... shiet... this is the google account thingie
do you know any way to bypass it? it means i can't add my google account
i just tried to reboot in recovery and it's showing up and can't boot my phone so far...
ok flashing stock fixes it
and this is the ultimate fix

Try to unlock via dev settings. Manufacturer unlock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3495074&d=1443947143
If that doesn't work you have to delete your Google account as far as I know.
For me it is working with Google account, but I can't remember if I ticked the dev setting option before or after adding my Google account.
for me has been this one

Probably a stupid question but why can't we just install SuperSU from Play Store?
Edit: Okay, I've noticed that the version in the xda thread is newer. Anyway why not install it the usual way (sideloading)?

I don't know exactly what you mean with sideloading app.
But as far as I know root is needed to install supersu via Google play store. Of course you can sideload the app via adb shell when booted to twrp. But I wanted to keep the tutorial simple without setting up adb etc.
Hope your question is answered.
Thank's for recovery
I thing a new nice rom will coming soon for 531F

Transfering APK to internal storage/sd card and installing from there (by opening it in file manager) is what I had in mind.
I don't think is that easy.. You must set system read and write and I guess twrp helps it installing supers in a better way than your file manager does

The same strange problem is @XelSam facing, too.
I don't know why it is booting to stock recovery instead of twrp. What is written on top when you boot to dl mode? Could you post a picture, please.
Maybe it is the odin version or the recovery partition is locked.
So here is what you might try
Make sure your device is not fap locked
1. Get the odin version from op
2. Flash firmware with reboot unticked
3. Power down device and boot directly to dl mode again (do not boot the system) and flash twrp with reboot unticked.
4. Power down the device and boot try to boot to twrp
Good luck

Hmm, system status should be official.
And another line that says FAP LOCK : OFF
Isn't there the newer firmware j2 available for your device? Which country are you from?
When running odin, Kies is not allowed as background service. Check your windows task manager and kill it.

I see, looks like your rom is carrier specific. I just checked for your firmwares, I even could not find your version.
To unbrand your device you can try to flash another version.
I used this one:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61237/G531FXXU1AOJ2_G531FDBT1AOI2_DBT/
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK, CAUSE MY DEVICE IS UNLOCKED. SO THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT FLASH THE PREROOTED ONE AND NOBODY REPORTED THAT, YOU CAN TRY THIS.
BE CAREFUL, THIS could RESULT IN WARRANTY LOSS. SO IF YOU HAVE TO SEND IN DEVICE FLASH BACK A CARRIER SPECIFIC ROM BACK.
So it is on you if you are willing to try it.

Glad to know you got it and thanks for your feedback.
To rule out all misunderstandings and help other people with the same problem.
1. You flashed a rom from another carrier for your region and 2. updated it to the latest version via ota.
3. You installed twrp and 4. supersu
Is that the way you proceeded.?
Did the line for fap lock appear in dl mode?
Thanks in advance
Attached in this thread is TWRP repackaged for the SM-T285 built by @ashyx with the UI lag fixed and a new custom kernel that I built.
TWRP-3.1.1-0 for the SM-T285 is now available, you should hop on to this thread for more information.
Update 01/17/2017
==============
TWRP with F2FS support here. Use only if you plan to use the F2FS enabled CM13 builds for the SM-T285.
Update 11/24/2016
==============
* MTP should now be fixed
Installation Instructions
This installation instruction is only for the LTE enabled version of the Samsug galaxy tab A 7" 2016 (SM-T285). If you have a wifi-only version (SM-T280) go to this thread instead.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices and provide no warranty, make sure you made the proper backups and contingencies before you do this procedure. Make sure you have a stock firmware available as a contingency plan
Before going through this make sure your tablet is OEM Unlocked. Make sure you have developer settings enable and there should be a setting there that says OEM unlock. That should be enabled, otherwise your SM-T285 will not accept firmware changes. Also make sure your tablet has sufficient charge and is not about to die.
1. Put your tablet in download mode (Turn off. holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until download mode appears. There will be a warning that about custom firmware blah- blah-blah just hit volume up to proceed). Connect your tablet to your computer using the provided micro usb cable.
2. Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot. Uncheck Auto reboot. (If you are on Linux you can use Heimdall
3. Load the respective attached file (TWRP_3.0.2-1_SM-T285_20161124.zip) in this thread below into the AP slot and hit start.
4. After flashing when ODIN says PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
Root and SuperSU
==============
1. Download the latest available SuperSu Zip from chainfire. Install Zip using TWRP. Reboot phone.
2.Your phone might reboot a couple of times, however at the end of the process you should be rooted.
enjoy!

I rooted my device (Glaxy Tab a 7" T285)by your method and files.
Next day i saw my device was off ,i pressed power but it could not boot and show this:
Code:
custom binary blocked by frp lock
Afterward i tried to go recovery by pressing Home+Power+volum up but it could not go recovery and show me:
Code:
custom binary blocked by frp lock
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Therefor my device had been useless.
so I go to download by odin and install a stock ROM.
I search and saw 2 advises:
1)this problem occur if androd version is 5.1.1
2) this problem occur if in developer menu OEM Unlock Option is disabled.
IS THIS ADVISES TRUE? OR THAT PROBLEM HAS OTHER REASON?
I went dev menu and enabled OEM and afterward i did ROOT again.
I have some questions:
1) Is it important Factory reset after install new ROM ? Also after ROOT? Also after unroot?
2) How do i unroot my device?

If you install a new rom, then yes you have to factory reset. If it is just to install TWRP I don't think you need to do that.

So just flash the TWRP file with Odin or follow the long steps provided in that thread about the T280?

ok, I've updated the instructions.
finally, I've managed to flash the recovery img to my Stock 285. I have compiled the heimdall from source (github), using Debian 8 Jessie. I also managed to download the stock firmware from sammobile using wget + cookies trick so it can be resumed without requiring a premium account. Thanks for the TWRP
BTW, after installing the SuperSU the SELinux is gone? do I need to flash your custom kernel too?
What do you mean? Was SELinux set to permissive? From what I know the stock kernel has SELinux configured to always enforce and can't be disabled that easily.

Interesting, I haven't encountered that on my device, then again I'm not using encryption. In that case it could be related to something SuperSU is doing. Unfortunately I have no clue as to what that is, it does touch the sepolicy files in order to allow for root as far as I know.

I don't know if that issue (missing keyboard) was patched with the new stock firmware update on Dec 13, 2016 or if it may block installation of custom firmwares... I ended up not using a password on the lock screen, I deleted the passowrd.key and modified the android settings database to disable password lock, but seperating the necrpytion password using an app.
Unroot without rebloating?
I've rooted using this method (smooth as anything, by the way) in order to remove the various bits of bloatware. What I'm wondering is, is it possible to unroot, take the recovery back to stock and not end up with the bloatware back on?
Reason I'm asking is, my 6 year old loves playing Pokemon Go (honest!), but any of the custom ROMs I've tried meant I couldn't play the game anymore.
Failing that, is there a workaround?

If you have removed the bloatware it should stay like that unless you reflash the stock rom.

I could not select TWRP_3.0.2-1_SM-T285_20161124.zip file in AP slot so I selected TWRP_3.0.2-1_SM-T285_20161124.tar.md5 I hope this correct.
After seeing PASS on odin I could not go into recovery mode directly.
I did press power + vol down and home button but the device rebooted.
And when I did
adb reboot recovery there is not TWRP but stock recovery.
What am I doing wrong? can I still use TWRP method for with latest samsung software?
Is there a easy method to get into recovery mode after running odin?
thank you.

It's possible the stock rom overwrites the recovery since you rebooted straight to stock after flashing. Try to flash again but this time when the device reboots, try to press and hold power + home + vol up immediately to attempt to load TWRP recovery.
Since i just found some request about rooting and custom recovery of C variante of Archos 50 platinum on xda. I decided to make a thread which works with both variantes 8 or 16GB and all firmware.
I installed TWRP 2.8.7 from Source
to a device with firmware:
Code:
[email protected]
Build fingerprint: archos/SCAC50CPL/ac50cpl:5.1/LMY47D/20151116.140537:user/release-keys
Platform: armeabi-v7a, 32-bit binary
and to a 2. device
[email protected]m
Today i saw, it seems like Archos provide two firmware for the SC7731g Euphoria or
Mesarthim (OTA pac download see below). Run firmware check OTA update 2x befor rooting to get latest - V05.
Firmware checkbox:

Mesarthim firmware
Root + TWRP via adb
To flash recovery >
Note: Install custom recovery delete all data on you storage so backup 1st. Maybe remove sd-card.
Enable developer option (tick ~10 times in system setting on build-number)
In developer option allow OEM-unlock and usb-debugging
Connect device to you pc in debugging mode (requires installed driver on pc)
On pc run fastboot (adb) and flash recovery
with following commands:
Code:
adb devices
press enter
now you see device port damones running
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
press enter
archos turns off
Code:
fastboot devices
press enter
archos boot into fastboot mode = black screen
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
press enter
wait till all files are transfered
# Now you can reboot into TWRP by press power and volume +
# downloaded recovery has to be in minimal adb fastboot floder

If you done setup on your device, save a full backup with twrp
Driver and tools:
Keep in mind you have to install needed debugg usb-driver and fastboot (adb)
or use other tools as SPD upgrader tool + SpreadTrum driver.
Fastboot installer and driver:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Fastboot as Live boot image
With twrp you can now install latest superuser to manage superuser authorization or xposed.
uninstalled superSU, now i use magisk
Switched back to supersu less bugs with xposed. The patched boot.img can be used to enable root if Archos update firmware
Do not blame me for any damage while installation
If you get into trouble booting your device. You can try
1. a) fully power it off by press Power off 10sec. or b) remove battery.
2. Copy V05 or V08 update.zip depents on your installed firmware to your Archos and reinstall firmware by apply message if usb is unplugged. Any flashable .zip get auto detected and became deleted from internal storage if not orginal.
3. flash update.zip via fastboot mode. (in case bootloop you maybe fastboot via button on boot into bootloader or adb)
4. flash stock rom pac file from update.zip to Spreadtrum Chip device via factory downloder +(driver) Download extract pac from .rar part 1 part 2
5. now you can flash via twrp my aroma rom if any needed stock app is missing. (see 2. post)
6. Flash v05 stock recovery = unroot
7. restore TWRP back ) if you did not do that 1st (o:
Inizialize twrp or superuser first time maybe take up to a minute and a reboot
Alternative way to get root & twrp:
Not test by myself but seems to work:
1.
a) Kingroot (to manage superuser authorization = root)
b) Flashify (to install twrp)

Orginal charger is not effictive, so if yo got another replace!! you can save 50% input power even more.
Orginal 110-250V 0,3a my new charger just need 0,15a (6Watt) input!!!
If you are new to customize device and you just finish rooting maybe skip aroma installation
take a breath and backup phone!
Here my TWRP flashable aroma installer for you.
Video https://youtu.be/soFEBiRr8KY
Additional tools can be selected to keep your stock customized Aroma rom works with touch menu (did not as i used ASSAYYED kitchen).
Note: Installing apps via aroma zip to your device take 2-3min. till all installation is done. So wait till you can unlock screen, after reboot. It´s fast as installing all apps via apk and much faster as flashing a orginal firmware!!!
To prevent automatic earse of flashable update.zip from internal storage keep usb connected till you flashed files with TWRP or rename zip - like .zi -can be renamed with TWRP for flashing. Usually no wipe needed.

Now i got my doubts on a Mediatek chip on AC50CPl as written in 4pda thread, only two V05 firmware^^
After a websearch i saw Archos 50b Platinum use Mediatek MT6582 but not c variante
Other smartphones with SC7731g and same hardware: Archos 55 platinum, Archos 55b Platinum, Gigabyte gsmart classic joy
Mediatek MT6582 = archos 50 b platinum
use unofficial cyanogenmod and CWM PhilZ Touch 6.59.x or else.
You are new to flashing rom? Make full backup with TWRP & Titanium Backup to prevent yourself lossing any data
You like to mod the aroma feel free to share :fingers-crossed:
Opening a AC50CPL battery
Two days ago i "opened" a BSE70I battery as you can see in attached pictures. I like to run my Archos without battery since it seems like i´ve kind of blown usb port. Charge do not work since i used a 2000mAh (+1A) on it. It is showning charge but don´t.
edit:
Today i was thinking about my accu problem. Finally i note my old powerbank simply do not provide enough power. Then i used 3 batteries LR6 (AA) connected in series with success.
Be careful if you handle accu in a non supposed way. Good chance of getting smoke or fire!
Archos 50cpl
Hello pls I was directed to come here to make any complaints to seek help.please am really confused the problem is I installed the twrp file in my phone and rebooted it and my phone won't go back how it was. so it's still going to take me to the twrp custom recovery if I switch on and off so please what is the next thing and what am I to do next please can someone tell me??
Welcome blossomunuagba,
usually you can boot from TWRP into sytem...
If this is not working you can use recover backup in TWRP if dumped befor. If you did no backup you maybe lucky and wipe option works to enable boot system. If you still fail you maybe use the aroma-rom but you have to know what files you have to replace to minimize lost data, etc. maybe you are lucky. In privat you already told me you cann´t make your phone boot the system by flashing aroma.
If you did not wipe everything you still can make a backup to prevent data lose
My sugguest:
1) full flash firmware .pak file with factory download tool. Fix 100% likely !!!
2) Not sure which tools you used to install TWRP. You can replace custom recovery with stock recovery which maybe fix a corrupt recovery. Use same tool as you used to flash twrp or use install image option of twrp
3) ..last but not least maybe flash supersu.zip or xposed sdk since you wrote you tried to install aroma. Both zip files must be installed befor install the full aroma.
Here latest xposed sdk zip:
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/xposed-v88.2-sdk22-arm.zip from http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/
If you use "magisk" you have to use another xposed.zip
In hope way 2 or 3 make your phone load the system.
Attached stock recovery so you can easy go back to stock
Archos 50c platinum
hello thanks for the reply it was helpful my phone is back and running although I have one more issue that's installing the twrp file on my phone the first alternative you gave is abit confusing but the second alternative looks easier that's (kingroot + flashify) I made an error some where and that lead to the issue I had with my phone..pls u said that u have not tested the second alternative I will be more grateful if you do that an explain in details if possible make a video so that others also facing this challenge can benefit from it. thank you:cool

I have to fully unroot my Archos to make such a video. Sorry i do not like to do so. Maybe if you use to go alternative way record and share
For sure you find a lot video showing how to use kingroot or flashify. Afaik if kingroot is used it install an alternativ superuser app which can be replaced with e.g. supersu. but if you have set up fastboot should be better to go on that..my opinion.
Basicly it seems you replaced stock-recovery, so just do it in the way with TWRP- recovery.img. Thinking you it already installed TWRP with success but you messed up aroma installation.
I´m sure about the point you stack at the moment but nice to see your phone is running again proper.
There are two other ways to get root / custom recovery
1. Flash a patched boot.img (magisk patch boot.img which can be used to root if twrp gets incompatible)
2. a) Replace trwp (recovery.img) inside stock-rom and flash recovery by factory downloder.
2. b) patched boot.img can be too
#today i flashed twrp recovery with SPD-tool but you know this factory reset phone (was helpful to fast recover a upper firmware backup)
The attached Magisk boot.img can be used if TWRP need to be updated. So we already got SU-permission on Anroid 6 and up
Debloat and silent systemsounds, camera click sounds - replacement.
example Camera_click.ogg

Did you know you can remove a lot more files in system? Files in following folders about 100mb extra space:
- system/preloadimage/
- system/preloadmp3/
- system/preloadmp4/
Also possible to remove "all" alarms, notififcation and ringtones. Just set an audio from sdcard befor delete
You can remove (debloat) more from root system folder. Uninstall bloat system apps with titanium backup or es explorer but becareful!
Additional i like to suggest more apps to install yourself to your phones.
######## xposed modul to clean recent app list #######
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/recent-app-cleaner-v2-0-t2734053
install, activate, reboot, start once and give SU permission
1. I use Whatscall, Dington, TalkU to make "free" phone call. You pay by watch ads. Whatscall is good to get fast free credits. TalkU and Dington are pretty similar. Autor is "our" phone manufactur Cheetah.
Benefit you can make real phone-call via wifi, safe expensive calls, etc.
If you have no playstore running you get less ads = less credits!
I use them since one year no problems. Me tested other "free" call/sms apps but did not find better once. Please no referal request!
2. shake2safety
Now i use it to enable emergency call by quickly press 4 times Power button. It can be enabled by shake also. That is a feature of new IOS as well as Samsung Galaxy. The benefit is you can automatic call even is screen is broken, eye or finger issue, else.
You can test your setup by automatic call friends number to prevent by mistake calling emergency
Only sms is working if not installed via playstore :/
** For location please keep your GPS on. When there is no Wi-Fi, GPS or mobile data then no location goes with the message/picture. Also it gives your last location if GPS is off.

So go and install that app!!! Alternative maybe SOS Stay Safe
Me also like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton to enable flashlight by hardware button
edit: Started use s8+ launcher to unlink media volume via its sidebar
Alternative you can use quick volume contol
or maybe com.bhanu.androidpvolumeslider aka com.bhanu.volumebutton
Sadly not working this xposed modul (v1.6) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-ringer-notification-volume-unlink-t2416768
Today i found BUSH AC50CPL looks 100% same as our archos maybe possible to use parts & TRWP on it or at least easy build a port
Also had to flash pac once again. Always used BSE70I today i failed then used BSE70M pac with success. By the way i seems on SPD-tool v2 you hold volume down button while plug usb to enable downloading, on v19 you have to power up device and hold volume down button.
How to Root Samsung S23 (SM-S91*B/N/0)
WARNING!
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but some ROMs are patched for all these mentioned features, you can use custom ROM or patch it yourself for stock ROM. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
How to Unlock Bootloader
Follow below four steps to ulock the bootloader
1.Enable Developer Option
Open the Settings app on your Galaxy device.
Choose About > Software Information.
Now tap on Build Number 7 times to enable the developer option.
You’ll get a message “You’re now a developer.”
Now Developer option has been enabled.
2: Enable OEM Unlock
Go to the Settings app again on your device.
Navigate to the Developer option.
Enable the toggle next to OEM Unlocking.
Tap YES to turn on the confirmation dialog box.
3: Boot Your device to Download Mode
While device is booted → Connect device to PC → Select to Restart → As soon as device screen turns off, Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously OR In case device is powered off Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously and connect your device to the PC via a USB Cable.
You can see the warning message on your device and release the pressed keys.
Finally, press the Volume Up key once, and you will be booted into Download Mode.
4: Unlock Bootloader
Once device booted into Download Mode, you will see option to long press Volume up to unlock bootloader,Now, press and hold the Volume Up key for a few seconds., Here, you’ll get a confirmation whether you are sure to proceed.
Use the Volume Up button to reply to the confirmation.
This will erase all the data on your device and unlock the bootloader.
Once completed, your device will automatically boot up to the OS.
Now you have successfully unlocked the bootloader
How to root S23
Instructions for stock non rooted ROM
Use either samfirm.js, Frija, or Samloader to download the latest firmware zip of your device directly from Samsung servers.
Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
Download and Install latest Magisk apk (Get Latest Magisk apk from here)
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file
When done, copy patched file to PC
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
Your device should reboot automatically once Odin finished flashing. Agree to do a factory reset if asked.
Install the Magisk app you’ve already downloaded above and launch the app. It should show a dialog asking for additional setup.
Let the app do its job and automatically reboot the device. Voila!
Upgrading the OSOnce you have rooted your Samsung device, you can no longer upgrade your Android OS through OTA. To upgrade your device’s OS, you have to manually download the new firmware zip file and go through the same AP patching process written in the previous section. The only difference here is in the Odin flashing step: do NOT use the CSC tar, but instead use the HOME_CSC tar as we are performing an upgrade, not the initial install.
Important Notes
Never, ever try to restore either boot, recovery, or vbmeta partitions back to stock! You can brick your device by doing so, and the only way to recover from this is to do a full Odin restore with data wipe.
To upgrade your device with a new firmware, NEVER directly use the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always patch AP in the Magisk app and use that instead.
Never just flash only AP, or else Odin may shrink your /data filesystem size. Flash AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.
PS : It is strongly recommended to make EFS backup once you root device and save to safer place like on cloud or PC

No needs, Flash requied file with AP slot onl
I flashed the AP file. I could not enter recovery mode to do factory reset. Device went into boot-loop mode, but after some failed attempts launched recovery by itself. Then I was able to do factory reset, and device boots properly.
Magisk (25.2 from apk in your zip file) still indicates: not installed. Ramdisk yes. Zygisk no (obviously).

Earlier today I used Magisk alpha to patch the AP from WA6 firmware.
Some minutes ago I flashed AP file from you on top. It only wrote boot and vbmeta.
Any debug info/logging I can provide?

Great,
That's awesome news!
Thank you very much for testing.
Any other user available to test then let me know, Next test will be for Root with Magisk Stable (25.2)
Debug version already reported working (reported by @zzattack )
.
I'm waiting for my s23 ultra next week and then I'll be able to test.
I'm aware I'll lost Samsung Pay and pass. I really don't care... Don't use it... But, will I have troubles with Google pay and secure folder if rooted?
