Hello all,
First of all the story.
I used the script to rebrand, it has a fail but the phone still working.
One evening, i decided to wipe all by twrp and re run the unbrand script..... that was a huge error, the phone boot but boot loop, and after, the script stuck an no recognise the twrp on the phone.
Tried lot of things like flashing recovery etc in fastboot but nothing else happen than a boot and a black screen with nav bar only.
At this point i think the problem is that i was unable to flash cust.img with fastboot
Whad did I Do?
(Bootloarder must be unlock)
1st: Crying.
2nd: read tons of things on XDA
3rd: Try to re run the script but fail because the phone was still rooted.
4th: Crying
5th: Read lot of other things on XDA
6th: this is the good IDEA
7th: Download Huawei firmware finder
8th: Download Huawei Multitool
9th: Download Huawei Update Extractor
10th: download by the tool the full OTA firmware and dependencies (in my case VTR-L09C432)
11th: extract the update.app (chose "other" for phone model) from the big "update.zip" dowloaded before an put it in a folder of your choice
12th: extract the update.app from the "update_all_hw_xxx" dowloaded before an put it in other folders, just incase of files could have the same names (not sure of it)
13th: run Huawei Multitool (il will create a folder in the path of where the app is when you click, the folder you need is "unbrick")
14th: choose 6 on Huawei multi tool, it will show you what img's you need, and you need everthing exept data.img (the cus.img is in folder wehre you extract update_all_hw_xxx) in "unbrick" folder -> Place the .img needed in the "unbrick" folder (very important)
15th: boot your phone in bootloader mode (phone off, vol-down+plug USB)
16th: clic the button to launch procedure (press N)
17th: have a coffee during the upload it'll ask to reboot
18th: If the problem is solved: cool, stop here
IF NOT: shutdown the phone
19th: Go in classic recovery: Phone off, Vol-Up + Plug USB, when huawei logo stop pressing vol-up
DO NOT BOOT eRecovery, it will not help
20th: in classic recovery do factory reset AND cache reset
21th Reboot
You can relock your bootloader if you want with your code.
The only thing i don't know to do and if someone can telle me is, before the flash of every things or at a moment, if i can flash via ADB the OEM info for an official bootloader relock.
Thx to @mankindtw, @worstenbrood and @inside!out
Hope it will help, it work for me.

When you download the 3 files of the firmware, place them where you want.
When you lauchn Huawei Multitool, it will create the "unbrick" folder in the Huawei Multitool folder (my bad) not "brick", i update the first post.
When you use Huawei Update Extractor, you have choices for type of firmware, chose other.

Hello. Your post has been very helpful, after hours I've now managed to make some progress. All seems to have gone well after following your instructions, however at the end I'm unable to do a factory reset. At most it gets to 6% then fails. Any ideas on what may be going on?
I'm starting to think the phone may be beyond saving, all for one stupid mistake while rooting .
I can't find "other" or "other model" folder.
Thanks

omg, how do you do that? you mean a advanced mode is in recovery mode or erecovery mode? I brought p10 at bell, I just couldnt find its firmware number.
ive done everything in this thread. the multitool installer finished without errors, then i did vol up + vol down + power, and it froze at 5 percent "installing update" then entered a reboot loop. then i tried a factory reset with vol up + power and it stoped at 25 percent.

opt 6 is in my memory "unbrick" or recover.
You have to put all the .img files needed exept data.img that is not possible to heve because this file is on your phone and encrypted.
Thanks for helping me, how can I tell what .img files are needed? I can't see anything that will tell me this?

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused on the intructions:-
I downloaded the full update zip file from the url using the firmware finder, there was another url link that came up called full/public/update - do I need the zip for this too?
I extracted the update zip to a folder and then extracted the update.app file using the Huawei update extractor.
Now I have a very long list of .img files in the extractor and I'm not clear what I need to do next i.e do I move them all into the unbrick folder on the tool?
Hi, I have since been able to extract the right files for the multi-tool. I extracted them again from the extractor. I now have placed them into the unbrick file. My problem now is that I can't run the tool - when I open the multi-tool .bat file its asking for a proxy port, where can I find this?

Afraid of kdz updater , here is an alternative to flash rom and recovery
Note: Donot use this method from emergency mode unless you already have a backup of your nv
Note: using this prodcedure there should be no disconnection of phone or power cut.
Using this method you can flash "stock rom + custom recovery" or "stock rom + stock recovery"
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!
download lgmdp : Download Here
1. disable lg modem
( in right click mycomputer->manage->device manager->modems->right click on lg modem disable it)
2. now connect your phone to pc.
3. start lgdmp
4. click "select port"
Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"
(close the pop up window of image select generally you will get it on connect of lgmdp)
5. backup nv for safety (tools->nv backup)
6. After backup , store this nv file somewhere in computer (and remember where you stored lol..)
7. close lgmdp
Now download stockrom+customrecovery
Download v10e ROM(unrooted)(2.2.2) with cwm recovery: Download Here_v10e
(or)
Download v20c ROM(unrooted)(2.3.3) with cwm recovery: Download Here_v20c
Step 1. Extract (use "extract here" for a noob)the downloaded file stockrom+customrecovery
(be sure you have extracted without error in zip extraction and you have all 13 files in extracted folder)
To flash stock rom + custom recovery skip step 2 and follow from step 3 to step 7.
To flash stock rom + stock recovery follow from step 2 to step 7 (including step 3).
Now the extracted folder has stock rom + custom recovery.
Step 2:
2. (a) Download stock_recovery for v10e: Download Here_recovery_v10e
(or) Download stock_recovery for v20c: Download Here_recovery_v20c
(make sure you downloaded correct recovery according to Rom you downloaded)
2. (b) extract the downloaded zip file -> you get recovery.img (this is stock recovery)
2. (c) Now copy this recovery.img file and paste in folder of "stockrom+customrecovery" (which you extracted previously in Step 1) {as their is already a recover.img file in folder it will be copy and replace "for noobs", in this step you replace custom recovery with stock recovery}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3: start lgdmp
Step 4. click "select port"
Phone will be automatically detected press "connect"
Step 5. select the extracted folder "stockrom+custom recovery" as "image folder or image select" in lgmdp
Step 6. Select "Erase EFS APPS" in drop down box of "NVBackup/Restore"
(Caution : donot select other options they might stuck your phone in air plane mode with no gsm )
Step 7. press start or download
DONOT DISCONNECT YOUR MOBILE UNTILL IT SHOWS DOWNLOAD COMPLETE AT BOTTOM
it shows in middle trying to connect to phone etc. donot touch the phone it will be automatically connect everytime.
After download complete you are done with procedure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to flash any other stock rom (kdz) file from lgmdp (Check this url)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note : Creating nv with different imei is illegal.
For people who messed up with nv, lost their nv follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534704 to create nv.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NV will be automatically restored at the end before you see download complete.
If any error occured while restore of nv
follow below steps to restore nv
put the nv file which you backed up in first part of procedure in this order*
create new folder
- rename folder: <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>
- create new folder in <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>
named <port no.> on which your phone is connected
(ex:for com4 name folder as " _COM_4_" (without quotes), you can find
port number when you click on "select port" when connecting mobile to
lgmdp under port column.)
- now place nv2 file in this folder <port no.>
- so now u r nv2 file is in
" \<your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>\<port no.>\ "
- now place lgmdp.exe and <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)> in
new folder
- start lgmdp
- "select port"
- "connect"
- press "NV Restore"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank yoooou!
I cannot express my thanks to you enough. I have been trying to fix my phone for 9 hours now, and every fix I tried didn't work at all. Then I come around to this post thinking "What have I got to lose?" and this is the ONLY fix that WORKED! I still have a thing here or there to figure out for my phone, but I have most functionality back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Dear Mak,
I did everything as stated (step 1 and 3). Everything went smoothly and after i saw the message "download completed" I quit the lgdmp and switched on my phone. the problem is that it is stuck at the "android screen" and does not do anything else. its just continously showing the flashing android logo. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Donot worry your phone is not bricked, It takes time for first boot sometimes may be around 10 min or so.
Which recovery wer u using ?
custom (skiped step 2) or stock (followed step 2) ?,
if you flashed custom recovery boot into recovery (long press {home+volume down+power} buttons simultaneously) and do "wipe data/factory reset" then "reboot system" ?
Do you have stored that nv file mentioned in first part of procedure ?
If stuck at logo screen, remove battery and start as mak said, (long press {home+volume down+power} buttons .
Worked for me !
My question now is... can i safely update to 2.3.3 romania firmware through the official LG mobile update tool ?
Thanks

Thanks a lot Mak! Your advice worked and phone is now booting. Howver, theres a small catch though. My phone was locked to orange and I thought it would be unlocked after doing sotck rom+custom recovery. I did follow all the steps for step 1 and step 3, but now when Im inserting other sim, it still shows that the phone is network locked. Can you suggest me what to do now? I just want to unlock it and dont know what to do.

Let me save you some time: you won't find such information here. Not because it's forbidden or illegal, but simply because it can't be done at software level.
What you need is to find an online service that unlocks your phone via some code they will provide based on your IMEI. There's no way you will find such service for free - if you do, please drop me a message with a link - but at least it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than asking your provider to do it.
Thanks Mak, I had to pay £10 to get the unlock code for my phone. Its working like a charm! Thank you all! You guys are saviours!

Is the v10e provided for download an Indian froyo version
Bit Confused....
I think u have made a mistake in labelling the section. At the bottom, where you have titled "To back up nv follow below steps". Isn't that part suppose to be the restoring part? And the top part is the backup part. Am I right or am I just confused?

I have attempted everything, I don't remember my B version which doesn't help. I know I was on 5.0.2 and I'm located in the UK.
I'm stuck in infinite boot loop which is happening because I deleted the OS by Accident.
I have attempted to Flash a B330 Version but boot loop. I grabbed the official Update for V5.0.2 Extracted the SYS and the other necessary files to "Unbrick" using the Honor 7 Multi-tool.
When I'm supposed to go to eRecovery I can't go to it. I have removed the cable, HOLDing both Volume Buttons and Power, when the Honor Logo pops up I remove the Power Button and it doesn't go to eRec, it just restarts due to Boot loop.
Does anyone have any suggestions what to do?
Give a shot for "Honor 7 Multi-Tool" that can be found on this Forum, that contain "Unbrick" task what you can use to unbrick your device. And that contains simple tutuorial how to do it.
Give a shot for B180 package with your country, that is FULL patch for 5.0.2 version. When that is done you can upgrade your phone to the B330.
And also for ERecovery, try hold all 3 buttons so long that you reach the recovery menu, you dont need release those buttons until you are on recovery.

thanks for your help,
I have already attempted the unbrick function on H7 Multi-Too but I can't get through to Recovery for some reason after MT is finished with transferring the files to the phone. I'v been holding the 3 buttons for 5 minutes and it just Boot-Loops, I must be doing something wrong.
Regarding how I "Deleted" the system and got into this mess, I used the Advance Wipe function in TWRP and wiped the system by accident. This might be affecting eRecovery?
I'm not sure If I used the B180 Pack or one below. So I'll re-do it and see how it goes.

No that wont effect anything ifyou wipe whole device, because you flash Boot/System/Recovery and other sectors with Multi Tool. So that install's a fresh install there.
Give a shot for that B180 package with correct country for you, flash all sectors with MultiTool and then reboot to recovery. That should work, if not then something goes wrong with flashing.
Heres my Thread from this forum, i think i have done that situation what you have going now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/honor-7-premium-stock-images-plk-l01-t3369369
Couldn't find B180, Only B130.
Used Huawei Updater to Extract Files.
and used multi tool's unbrick, Attempted to go to eRecovery no success.
Tried Multi-TOols Reboot to eRecovery no success as it needs USB Debugging.
I'm stuck :'(. Also lost Ability to go back to TWRP
Here is B180 for your Device (United Kingdom): http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/?DOC_ID=77725
Boot your phone to the Fastboot, then flash new TWRP to your device. Shut it down and try boot to the Recovery.
When you have successfully rebooted to the TWRP, create folder what is named to dload inside your SDCard, then put that B180 "Update.app" file inside that folder.
When that step is done, start UpdateExtractor, and take Unbrick files out from that .app file.
Next step will be unbricking with MultiTool, when its done just try reboot your phone first normally to the system, if that works just go: Settings->Update->Local Packet from SDCard.
And your device start updating that B180 packet completely.
After you have updated your phone to B180, download C432B330 packet and just replace that "Update.app" file on your SDCard with that B330 file and repeat previous steps.
The problem was B130 and B180. Before deleting my OS I attempted a ROM Flash from B330 when being on a B180 System (which tells you not to do). So my System froze at B330 I guess. WHen I attempted to Unbrick on B330 it worked, didn't work on B130 or B180.
Though the process itself was correct, was just the package . Thanks

fastboot reboot
You will get an phone orange state prompt, do not worry its normal. Phone may reboot once or twice. Wait for phone to normal bootup.
5. open cmd and type command
5e.
adb reboot recovery
Phone will reboot in recovery i.e. TWRP
6. Tap on Keep system read-only. Do not swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for password, don't enter any press back.
7a. Tap Wipe -> Format Data. Come out to main menu, then click reboot and then recovery to restart recovery.
7b. Tap Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select Dalvik /ART, Cache, Data and Internal Storage. This is important step, as these partitions are encrypted at the moment, so if you flash anything the phone rom may corrupt.
8. Come out and then Tap Reboot -> System
9. Once the phone is back, turn off the phone. Then power on with vol up key pressed to boot into TWRP
10. Tap Backup, select all partitions, select phone storage (SD card preferred) and take backup (optional step but highly recommended )
11. Now tap install, goto the location where you had copied SuperSU zip file, flash it.
Congratulations your Phone is rooted. Reboot, see SuperSU icon in app drawer.
Many thanks to @mujammil786 for providing stock files and @Bornstud for testing twrp builds
Special thanks to our devs @DespairFactor for modifying boot.img to disable Encryption and Verity and @kirito9 for creating TWRP for our device. Without their help, it wouldn’t have been possible.
MODS
(Take backup of your ROM/Data before applying any mods)
Viper4Android (Advanced Sound Enhancement)
Hugely Customizable and better than MaxxAudio or Dolby Atmos IMHO
Now working on our device Infocus Epic 1
Need to flash the 2 attached files via TWRP before installing the official app from HERE. Although latest version v2.5.0.5 also works, but i personally prefer v2.4.0.1 (busybox required)
(Note the attached files are not my work, they are picked from here and here. Say thanks to original contributors.)
Good V4A profile: HERE
Extract it to ViPER4Android Directory in internal Storage
Xposed
Needs no introduction. Every android enthusiast should know what it is. Anyway if you are new, xposed opens limitless ROM customization(s) and useful features via 100s of its modules.
Installation:
1. Flash framework xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip from HERE via TWRP. Reboot after installation will take long time (~10 - 15 minutes)
2. Install app XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk from HERE
Restoring phone back through SUT
If you are stuck somewhere or want to restore the phone factory state (like for when giving to repair), you can restore the phone back via SUT
Link for build 1280: https://firmwarefile.com/infocus-epic-1
Also dont turn off your phone as suggested in sut readme file. It only works when your phone is on. Check below vid for more instructions

Reduce battery consumption & phone temperature
Found an interesting thread, mod works on our device also
https://forum.xda-developers.com/red...tings-t3687897
I have tried both flavor 1 and flavor 2 over the past week. Results with flavor 1 were positive in the beginning but for some reason standby drain shot up after 3-4 days, not sure what the reason was.
On flavor 2, I have just disabled MTK perfservice by setting
ro.mtk_perfservice_support = 0 in build.prop
Yes this limits the a72 core to 1.5ghz, but i have noticed phone is heating less and need for charging the phone has reduced. I haven't noticed much drop in performance either, but that might be as I don't use intensive apps.

I've managed to unpack nb0 file through a688 tool, however its only successful in unpacking few files before it crashes with some array size error, but the good thing is I was able to extract the scatter file for this phone before it happened.
Anyway, I was hopeful that I would be able to make backup of Stock ROM and Recovery through it via spflash tools however as it turns out, spflash tool is giving me error while doing readback BROM ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003)
Not sure how to fix it, i've updated my drivers as well as i'm using latest version of spflash tool (SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win)
Attaching scatter file.

I'm trying to root Infocus Epic 1, its a good budget phone with decent specs. Availability is only in India, not sure other regions. Anyway I'm having hard time to root it, since not much support is available. But so far, I have tried below things:
1. Tried to root with Kingroot, doesn't work .Probably because it is very new version of Marshmallow with Oct'16 patch level and kernel dated in dec 16.
2. Tried to generate scatter file via MTK Droid tool v2.5.3, after enable USB debugging in phone. The phone get detected in the tool, however create scatter file option in block map is disabled I've read somewhere, it might be due to MTK6797 (Helios x20) is quite new and is not yet fully supported by tool yet. Not sure if its true though. But if I can generate scatter file, I can extract phone's stock recovery via SPFlash tool readback to try a hand at porting twrp/cwm with some help..
3. Downloaded stock Infocus Epic 1 firmware in hope for recovering stock recovery.img or MTK scatter file, however on unpacking the firmware package, I found it contains unknown image file of nb0 extension which is it to be flashed via SUT Tool. Not sure how to unpack this file
Any more ideas, how can i atleast start with my quest to root/put custom recovery on this phone ? @Romeotamizh Pls help.

Anyway you should post it here, somebody else might pick it up and build twrp for it. At the moment, I'm stuck with SPFlash tool unable to readback my phone as stated above , doubt i would be able to flash anything to test

I like this phone and the only thing lacking is Root, Hope someone will do it
I hope so too. However, it seems its not that straight forward anymore i.e. communicating with SPFlash tool on newer MTK chipsets. I was going through guides for LeTV x620 (also with MT6797), not sure but it seems they require authentication file now for the process, which might not be available for our phone.
I already tried all the other download agents like DA_PL.bin, DA_PL_High.bin, DA_BR.bin in flash tool through which this LeTV is able to communicate, it's same error for us with all.
Also other curious thing, I was unable to run any fastboot commands on this phone. The phone gets detected in fastboot when put in fastboot mode (vol - + power) i.e. I get output on fastboot devices.
However If i try to run any commands like fastboot oem get-bootinfo or fastboot oem device-info I get error message remote command unknown

If it's not detected maybe its related to your drivers. I've installed the following drivers
1. Try installing the Phone F Driver (from phone CD-emulation upon connecting)
2. MTK Driver Auto Installer v5.1632.00 (you can get from needrom)
3. Minimal ADB and Fastboot installer v.1.4.2 (from xda)
Run cmd as administrator:
adb reboot bootloader
When phone reboots in fastboot mode
fastboot devices
You should see your phone being detected from above.

Hi,(I am spanish sorry about my english)
after a long time searching how to rollback finally I have found the way thanking to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/success-downgrade-oreo-to-nougat-t3729659.
In the thread the way to rollback isn't very extended explained so i decided to create mine and explain easy.
My phone is a Huawei P10 L29c432B.... .
Steps:
1- Download HWOTA8 from--https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2D9GdWntw69U3N2aDEzZjY2S1E/view
2-Download Firmare L29C900B217 or L09C900B217 depending your model (only are 2 downloads) fromhttp://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR-L29c900&firmware_page=0
3-Delete the row "echo - - update_package...... update_data public. zip..." from the file "META-INF>com>google>android>update-binary" from hwota8_update.zip from the downloaded folder HWOTA8.
4. Create HWOTA8 folder and copy the following files: hwota8_update and MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img (from HWOTA8 folder), and the downloaded firmware files. After copu the firmware files you have to rename them one has to be named "update.zip" and the other one "update_all_hw.zip" (don't write.zip extension).
5- Now you have to rewrite the recovery with twrp, for that you have to go to fastbood (VOL- and Power) mode and connect to the pc. Then go to Uncompresed HWOTA8 folder and run "Replace_Recovery.bat" after that you will have the recovery TWRP installed.
6- Finally you have to to go to recovery pressing VOL+ and power button then go to Install adn search sd_external and inside HWOTA8 folder from sd card install "hwota8_update.zip". The device will resboot and start installing the nougat rom, but after that you will have to rebrand to L29c432.... to unlock all the functions.
That's all now you will have your device rollbacked from Oreo to Nougat.
Hi!
Thx for this guid, it seems to be clearly and good to understand! I have only one problem: i can not find the row "echo - - update_package...... update_data public. zip..." from the file "META-INF>com>google>android>update-binary" from hwota8_update.zip from the downloaded folder HWOTA8 for changing... ???
I tried with notepad++, but i can not do this... How did you get this step working?
Thx a lot!

You have to unzip the hwota8_update.zip file into another location, edit the extracted update_binary file and then repack the zip. The update_binary file in HWOTA8_<date>.zip is a binary file and shouldn't be edited with a text editor.

When the phone is off an you will hold "Power" and "Volume+" button to boot into TWRP, just hold "Volume+" after phone is vibrating... Then you will boot into TWRP...

The fact is that the recovery proccess is a **** in this model. Try to power completely off the phone and the Pess POWER + VOL+ when you feel the phone vibrates retire the press of power button and still pressing VOL+ button by this way sometime it goes ok. If TWRP load go ahead with the followings steps.
Other way it to reinstall again TWRP untill it loads.
Let me know if you suceed, good luck.
4. Create HWOTA8 folder and copy the following files: hwota8_update and MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img (from HWOTA8 folder), and the downloaded firmware files. After copu the firmware files you have to rename them one has to be named "update.zip" and the other one "update_all_hw.zip" (don't write.zip extension).

non-functional link?
How exactly is it to be?

just to let you know that nothing worked,
went to a shop, they tried everything, uploaded older firmwares, but after that the phone died, only black screen, couldn't even switch it on.
warranty did the trick
the guys replaced the mainboard, nothing else helped
so i'm waiting now for the official update
Good day! Can I use this method for installing Official Oreo from Beta? What I would like to do, is skip the deleting of row then just flash the twrp and continue with installation process.
I'm on VTR-L29C636B361.
I would like to rollback to Nougat, for root reasons. I'm trying to follow this method, but I'm not able to find the right files. All I succeded to find is the "update.zip", from Firmware Finder website, but no signs regarding others mentioned ("update_all_hw.zip"). Where can I dowload the right files?
Moreover: I flashed TWRP 3.2.1. I would like to go back on stock recovery, but again I'm facing a lot of problems. I would like to extract from update.app I have (from "update.zip" above mentioned), but HuaweiUpdateExtractor gives me a lot of error. Any help?
Thanks!

At the HWFF website the link leads you to you need to click the "filelist" (not only the "update"), that will give you links to all the files needed.
For the rest I am not sure, would also like to get back to the stock recovery but so far found no way to do so...

Hi, I have one question
Your phone was VTR-L29 C432 and you used the firmware of VTR-L29 C900, so can I use the C900 in any version to rollback and after that, what would be my version? C432 or C900?
I'm asking because for some reason I have VTR-L09 8.0.0.046(04VT) and I want to rollback, then rebrand and finally upgrade to VTR-L29 C432 with a custom kernel.
Thanks a lot!
This guide realy work ??
hello, I test by cons I have a problem, once flash hwota8_update.zip, it tries to restart in recovery and redémre on oreo, a solution?
Hello, I have a problem in the rocovery that I flash wota8_update.zip I have E: unknown command [errno]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 9
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/HWOTA8/update.zip
Maybe this is a silly question. Do we need to change the recovery file since MHA is a code name for MATE 9. P10 use VTR. Is it still usable?
Hello friends
I just want to share how to root A21S stock rom in case anybody needs it:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. (On PC) Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP...tar file, then copy it to phone
3. (On phone) Install ZArchiver to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4
4. (On phone) Install Magisk_patched_for_A21S.apk (thank grccorps for this excellent magisk) and patch the boot.img that you have just extracted from step 3
5. (On PC) Copy magisk_patched-22104_0x2Ov.img (in phone\download) to pc, rename it to boot.img
6. (On PC) Use 7zip to pack boot.img from step 5 into boot.tar
7. (On PC) Use odin to flash boot.tar from step 6 (in AP slot)
Done. Enjoy.
In case you don't want to do a full step by step like above, you can use my already patched boot.tar below, just download and flash it via odin then after reboot install Magisk_patched_for_A21S.apk
For U3:

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

This apk is old. If you have rooted with this apk/tar, then you should download the latest one from this thread and update to it, as it has the latest patches merged in from official Magisk github.

Plug usb to laptop, press and hold all buttons (power, volume up, volume down) for 10 seconds your phone will reboot. Release all buttons, then press and hold volume up and volume down and quickly plug usb to phone, your phone will enter download mod where you can flash stock firmware via odin.
I see references to U3 and U5. I have a SM-A215U. Did you mean 5U and not U5? Also, someone asked above if this wipes your data. I too am wondering the same. Thanks!

Got my SM-A217F rooted first attempt,
So what i did was.....
1) used Frija-v1.4.4 to download my latest stock firmware "SM-A217F_1_20210807114045_mzeyu27v8u_fac.zip"
2) Extracted the zip file and flashed the 4 files with "Odin3_v3.14.4"
3) after that i let the phone restart and boot up entered my google account details etc etc
4) on PC i used winrar and extracted the "boot.img.lz4" file only from "AP_A217FXXU6CUH1_CL21842546_QB42174009_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_RKEY_OS11.tar.md5"
5) on PC i then used "lz4_win64_v1_9_3" i copied the extracted "boot.img.lz4" file into the "lz4_win64_v1_9_3" folder
6) op PC inside the "lz4_win64_v1_9_3" folder i dragged the "boot.img.lz4" file onto "lz4.exe" wich created a new file "boot.img"
7) copied the "boot.img" file onto my phones internal storage
8) on phone i installed "Magisk_patched_for_A21S.apk" and opened it --> chose "Install" -->"select and patch a file" --> select "boot.img" from step 7 --> normal android way
9) That created a "magisk_patched-22104_0x2Ov.img" file in my phones "download" folder
10) Renamed that "magisk_patched-22104_0x2Ov.img" to "boot.img" on my phone
11) i then used "ZArchiver" and compressed that "boot.img" i just renamed from "boot.img" to "boot.tar"
12) Copied the "boot.tar" file to my pc and renamed it to "boot.img.tar" on my pc
13) On PC i used "Odin3_v3.14.4" and flashed the "boot.img.tar" file to my device, i left "Auto reboot" and "F reset time" ticked
14) after flashing and getting the green "PASS" logo i left my phone pluged into the the pc the whole time while the phone was restarting
15) after phone rebooted i installed "Magisk" with the "Magisk_patched_for_A21S" app --> let it reboot again after install
