Magisk Install on Tab S3 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

Thanks for reading.
I've been away from Samsung devices and wanted to root this with Magisk. Can anyone point me in the correct direction for getting this done? I tried booting into Recovery (TWRP) and then flashing the Magisk 16.0 file, however, it won't let me boot after that. When I put in my PIN it says I have failed verification.
Any hints or direct links would be greatly appreciated!

See ashyx's twrp thread in the development forum and use magisk instead of supersu.

So I HAVE to disable encryption in order to root or use Magisk?

Yes. I'm not sure if you can encrypt afterwards. I haven't tried it.

[UPDATED 11-27-16][Stock modified boot.img for regular root/Android N decrypted boot

This is a stock boot.img I use where I edited ramdisk and sepolicy for regular root. I also changed force encryption to encryptable and permissive Enforcing
I will continue to post new boot.img each update here.

Because you don't have to rely on the generosity of someone modifying the boot image to accommodate the older method, thereby requiring only 1 recovery flash?

Why are you even in this thread if you have no interest in using traditional root. Stop trolling and leave the thread. If you don't want it, then don't use it. It's been posted for users that want traditional root and don't know how to mod their own boot.img. Also you're incorrect about the amount of flashing in recovery. You still only need to flash one zip. The SuperSU zip. The boot image gets flashed in fastboot. Soooooooo when you're updating to newest software from Google, you simply use this modded boot.img instead of the one from Google. So technically there are absolutely no extra steps taken in order to use this boot.img.

Huh? No, really, I think I'm too old to be "trolling". Just curious to know if there are any potential advantages of the traditional method - not from a selfish perspective, but more out a, well, curiosity. Can we just keep this to the level of a civil "discussion"?
Is this still Enforcing? Is it possible to get a stock or close to stock kernel that is Permissive for a project I'm working on? I just need a boot.img. Thanks!

Would it have been better if the question were phrased: "Why do you need a separate modified boot.img, when you can force system root using any SuperSU above 2.65? It will still patch the boot.img and disable "forceencrypt"?
So, I'll ask....why do you need a modified boot.img and SuperSU, if SuperSU 2.6x will *automatically modify the boot.img for you and can be installed as system or system-less via terminal commands? Is it because you are using the stock rom and SuperSU will not install as system root due to lack of space in /system?
Edit: *automatically modify boot.img when installing as system-less, OR can be forced to install as system root via terminal commands?

Why use the terminal cmd? I make this for myself. I posted for people that want it. If you don't want it or need it that is cool. I flash this when flashing factory imgs and I can reboot still decrypted then I boot to twrp flash SuperSU zip and I'm done. I'm not a fan of systemless root. Do you know why it was even created??

you can use this as boot.img to update yes. But keep root no. You just need to flash factory imgs with this boot.img then boot up and boot to twrp flash SuperSU 2.67 and you will be updated with regular root.
Flash this boot.img thru fastboot just like you do factory imgs not via recovery.

No need to be sorry it's all good... Unfortunately no. You can just flash SuperSU zip in twrp after updating to new factory imgs with this modified boot.img and your 100% rooted again.

I recommend not flashing the userdata.img as that will wipe your internal storage sense it's still 6.0.+ FYI but that's up to you and don't flash the recovery.img either in factory imgs cause that will replace your twrp with stock recovery

Ahh I see. That makes sense given that you are decrypted. Appreciate that.
Having followed SuperSU threads since late November, seems like it was created to make accepting OTAs easier. That, or to work around the limits of Marshmallow and /system rom space. If not that, then no I don't.

Lost all hope. No OS, OpenRecoveryScript Loop on Nexus 9

Greetings. I was trying to root my Nexus 9 and was hoping to make it faster by flashing a custom ROM on it (PureNexus).
I failed with everyone now it's stuck on a bootloop (Google logo), and when I try the Power + Vol Down button and go to Recovery (OpenRecoveryScript loop on TWRP 3.0 happens)
I have no idea on what to do first, I've tried installing ADB drivers but I can't seem to get into Recovery long enough to install fastboot + adb.
I was using Nexus Root Toolkit when this all happened. Any professional people that root here? Mind helping me with my problem? Thank you!
I'm no dev but you need to boot power+vol up for fastboot
And extract the factory image from google and press the flashall.bat/sh (win/Linux) to get back to stock.

It's best to learn how to flash factory images without the use of a tool kit. That way when you run into problems you'll know what to do.

I did this step by step and I fixed it! Though I want to flash to Pure Nexus. Do you have any tips?
You'll want to flash the latest twrp using fastboot. (Google teamwin nexus 9) Then download pure nexus Rom and gapps of your choice to your phone. Boot into twrp and do a wipe first. The default wipe is fine. Flash the rom and then flash gapps. Also, read the faq on the pure nexus thread. I believe there is something there about the vendor.img

Stuck on the bootloop after installing SuperSu

I followed the steps given in a post ( not able to post url) and after installing the Supersu the phone is stuck on the boot loop.
I saw posts where the users want to go back to the stock image however i need the phone to be rooted, any suggestions what might be causing the boot loop and how i can fix it.
PS: I have twrp backup and last resort will be to give up rooting and restrore from it. Appreciate your expertise in advance!

That is way outdated man. And avoid following guides from 3rd party sites. Always search here in XDA. You flashed an outdated TWRP. Flash THIS latest version. Restore your backup for the moment, then flash the latest SuperSU. 2.82. The site you gave both give outdated TWRP and SuperSU.

The rooting apps write on the boot sequence and then it gives the error i mentioned. I really appreciate your help though, if you find something interesting please update here.

[Guide]Magisk Modules Disabler for booting into Magisk core-only Mode

Tools needed: boot.img extractor. I recommend the one created by osm0sis from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2073775
The first method was developed by osm0sis and removes magisk and all modules.
1. Unpack magisk_patched.img
2. Unzip overlay.dremove1.zip and place overlay.d folder in ramdisk folder.
3. Repack IMG
4. fastboot boot image-new.img created by repacking 8mg
This method is an offshoot of osm0sis version but boots core-only mode. Afterwards, remove the .disable-magisk file from the /cache folder for modules to work. Dot files are hidden files so if your root explorer can't see hidden files, run the "Remove disable_magisk" bat file in ADB.
1. Same as above but use the overlay.dcoreonly1.zip
For both methods you must be rooted for it to work. These are not cure all's for all bootloops.
Remove .disable_magisk bat file
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261684994
****************************************
Here is a fastboot bootable image to boot you into Magisk core-only mode in case you bootloop due to flashing a bad module and TWRP is not enough.
Once in fastboot:
fastboot boot image-newpixel3.img
You will boot with root but modules disabled. After you remove the offending module you will need to go to /cache folder and delete the .disable_magisk file before your modules will work.
fastboot boot image-newpixel3Remove.img
This one should remove magisk and all modules, then reboot and magisk should reinstall itself (ask to install necessary binaries). This is what osm0sis uses to recover from failed flashes. See this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...odules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3976625/page2
Images are in this common folder. Pick the appropriate image for your phone.

Amazing! Thanks
I can confirm this worked on Android 10/Q. I can't use the canary patch method for magisk because I forgot to remove the modules before upgrading to Android 10. This method works like a charm, it removed the incompatible modules allowed me to by pass the bootloop.
Thank you so much for sharing!
For those who are wondering, these are the steps:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot image-new.img
fastboot reboot
Done!

No problem. It's good to be a pack rat. I hope it worked.

Mega link seems to be working. Open with chrome, not mega app.
Edit: I've added a AFH download link.
i tried with chromium based browser (vivaldi) from both phone and pc and link didn't work, probably it was a WiFi problem, thanks for adding alternative link though. and your core mode image worked like a charme! and thanks again also to sliding billy for initial mirror support
Just what I needed. Thank you
How did you create it? I want to make sure I have one of these images on hand in the future when I need to fix things
Simply works, thank you!
Holy cow, thanks man. I can't believe @topjohnwu let this slide through. Without TWRP wtf are you supposed to do, reflash the whole OTA/factory image?!
EDIT: Wait, now I can boot and apparently have root but I can't access any of my rooted apps. It says "waiting for root". Magisk Manager gives me an "app not installed" error but it is installed on the device. When I click it it says "upgrade to full Magisk Manager" and does nothing. How am I supposed to delete the module folder?
EDIT: Can't access terminal, can't do anything. Permission denied via ADB as well.
EDIT: DO NOT DELETE MAGISK MANAGER OR ALTER IT IN ANY WAY WHEN USING CORE MODE. You will be stuck like me. I had to nuke my phone and reflash everything. PIA

Rooting OnePlus 7T Pro

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to root my OnePlus 7t Pro with android 11 installed, but I can't figure out a way how to do so...
I read some other posts/threads and tried to root it installing Magisk canary but it still didn't work (it got stuck in the booting process, and I had to flash the stock boot image to get it working again). Does anybody have an other idea of something I could try? Magisk doesn't same to get it patched regardless of which version I use...
Thank you in advance for your help!

You said it got stuck in booting process, was this after a fastboot flash patchedboot.img?

Yes, exactly... Sorry for not specifing. I patched the image, flashed it and than my phone stopped booting correctly and I had to flash the stock image to make it work again. I searched a little bit and found out that it was Magisk's fault and read that I had to try with the canary version, so I did but it still did not work and I was stuck on the same point as before.

Have you tried just fastboot boot patched.img and doing a direct install through Magisk?
I know some people reported their phones borking after trying to fastboot flash.

Sorry, I'm not really sure if I understood what you meant....
I thought that maybe I could try to downgrade to android 11 to then root and upgrade while remaining root. What do you think about this idea? And do you know how I could downgrade my phone? I did some research but did not find anything useful...

So you would take your stock Android 11 boot.img and patch it like you would in Magisk Manager. Save the patched.img to your computer. Reboot to bootloader and apply command fastboot boot patched.img. this should restart your phone using the patched.img. once it starts, go into Magisk Manager and click Install > Direct Install > Reboot when asked.
You could certainly go back to A10 from A11 but you will lose all your data. The method above does work. Where did you get the stock boot.img?

I downloaded the software from the official website and used payload dumper to extract the boot image. To be sure that I understood everything... you suggested to use "fastboot boot patched.img" instead of "fastboot flash boot patched.img", and once the phone restarted to go to magisk manager and click direct install.
Do I need Magisk Manager canary or the normal version for this to work and do I have to mantain the canary version or can I install the normal version once it is rooted?
Either 22.1 or Canary works for A11

One last question, is it normal that the "unlocked bootlader message" when booting shows up for almost two minutes? When I had Android 10 it did not take that much...

Yes for some reason, I noticed that as well on my device.
FYI, the patched boot may only work with Magisk canary

So not Magisk v.23 but Magisk canary?
I know that there was rooting issues back at the end of last year, but I'm not sure exactly what version of Magisk it was at the time.
If you want to pass safety net on A11, I've read success posts with canary and Magisk hide

Okay thanks, I'll try with v.23 first and If that does not work than I'll try with the canary one. Thank you very much!!!
Hiya, just use this TRWP. Decryption works on Android 11 (only tested on lineage).
Reboot to fastboot and use
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
And
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
And reboot to recovery.

Decrypt does not work on OOS and you do not need TWRP to Magisk.

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I tried with "fastboot boot patched.img" and it still did not work. It got stuck while booting again with "unable to parse kernel log" as error message. Do you have any other suggestions?
P.S. I got a full backup with "adb backup -apk -all -shared -f /path/to/location" today and thought about just doing a factory reset, trying to root the phone, restore the backup. Do you think that might actually work? Thank you for your help!
How exactly did you patched your boot.img?
