Root vanishing? BTI1/SM-T865 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

Hi,
coming from BTF2 with TWRP and Magisk, updated and rooted the device according to current guides:
- Download ROM with Frija (SM-T865, DBT, T865XXU4BTI1/T865OXM4BTI1/T865XXU4BTI1)
- Unpack it
- Magisk-patch the AP file using Canary manager and magisk zip
- Flash AP, BL, CP, CSC with Odin 3.14.4 (after testing HOME_CSC without success)
- Wipe the device
Magisk works fine until I reboot.
No matter how long I hold the VolUp button (until the unlocked bootloader screen, until the "not running original software" screen), Magisk Manager returns that Magisk is not installed and Root Checker returns that the root installation is broken.
Flashing the AP, BL, CP, HOME_CSC again, Magisk works again, until the next reboot.
Current workaround for me would thus be to reinstall Magisk directly after every reboot to make sure it sticks for the next reboot.
Anyone got an idea what's wrong here?
Edit: I just noticed my 256GB LTE tablet only has 32GB of storage after flashing??
Edit: Reflashed all stock files, device is back to 256GB storage. Now trying again with magisk patching...
Thanks and regards,
sub

Lots of re-flashes and playing around later, it works.
magisk manager canary, installing the canary magisk build.
patched with preserve force encryption and recovery mode.
after flash, reboot, go to sys recovery (hold up all the time), wipe.
reboot, hold up until bootloader warning.
install magisk manager canary, connect internet.
run manager, it asks for an installation.
do that, during reboot hold VolUp until bootloader warning just to be safe.
i hate samsung, again

You can root on any version of android for this phone:
Just install TWRP with Odin and use TWRP to flash supersu zip. Boot your phone into Odin mode (home, vol down, and power), connect your phone to PC with USB, and install twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar with Odin (AP button, auto-reboot option disabled). When the status bar is filled, you need to immediately boot into TWRP without rebooting system (this is where you hold down home, vol up, and power). In TWRP, install supersu zip file.
If you reboot to normal android before booting into TWRP and flashing the supersu zip when TWRP is first installed, the operating system will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, and you have to try again
What is I flash supersu then it keeps saying set warranty bit kernel
I keep flashing supersu but it keeps saying set warranty bit kernel

Help how to do the Root on the Xiaomi Mi 8 device with the MIUI Global Stable!!

Hi everyone, I am recently registered on this site. from some days I have the desire to do the Root on the miui global stable, it is consequently on my beloved Xiaomi Mi 8, the problem is: when the device is turned off I turn on the device pressing it under volume key + ignition key at the same time to enter in recovery mode, the latter makes me enter in "Official" mode, in the sense that it does not let me enter twrp mode where there are install, settngs, advacend options, backup ... but in the official one with only 3 buttons: wipe , connect to mi account ... So I thought of flashing the twrp via fastboot, I finally entered it, but the problem is that when I go to Install, to install the root, I can't do that, because characters (alphanumeric) appear long and randomly, so I can't identify which folder I put the Magisk on, it appears in both folders and subfolders. somewhere I read to install a zip file called LazyFlasher, to avoid possible blocking at startup, in fact I try before installing this zip file, with various combinations (first rom, then magisk, both rom and magisk, first magisk then rom , first rom that gate at the end the cache then magisk) but all fail, so I am forced to flash through fastboot with the tool I flash, because at every start it always took me back to twrp without the possibility of moving, it seems that the touch does not respond at the user's commands. So I know that this LazyFlasher file causes me to "bypass" this problem, give me confirmation ??. Thank you. PS: so far I haven't managed to install the Magisk root yet, can you give me a hand, maybe the twrp has some problems? or is my device not compatible with this version of twrp ??, I tell you that in the past with the miui global beta it didn't give me this problem. Thank you all
Have you even unlocked your bootloader? If not look for the official Xiaomi tool, it's the only way how you are able to flash twrp and root your phone.

Thanks for the reply, I solved everything, unlocked BL, installed twrp (no stock) and installed root. but I have a problem, when I installed the root, every time I want to restart the device for a series of reasons (slowness, delete cache, rest ...) it starts in twrp not in the system, so I have to delete everything it's starting again. I heard that the LazyFlasher file makes it possible to remedy this problem, essentially it allows you to bypass the security of android to avoid bootloap, and I hope it also corrects this problem (which when I reboot the device, I want to install a zip file, I it always starts in twrp), but during the flash of this zip (LazyFlasher) I get an error: the Updater process ended with error: 1 Error installing zip '/sdcard/lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip. Thanks a lot. PS: but this file, lazyflasher should be mounted on an SD card to work ?? I don't have it on my device

Flash a DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable the Verity check. OR if you want to keep encryption and root -flash a 3rd party Kernel like MiPa or Sphinx after Magisk.

thank you. in the past I flamed DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable Verity checking. in fact after immediately this zip I put magisk. at the access of the dispay I saw a magisk icon, so it means root installed successfully. but the problem is: when I reboot the device to clear the cache ... or install a module on the magisk, it always starts in twrp, so I have to start all over again. there is a way to keep cryptography and root, without any booting going into twrp but into the system. thank you

You shouldn't have these problems:
Flash ROM and Keep Encryption:
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'DM-Verity' file is the ONLY thing the file is named. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Flash MAGISK
Flash 3rd Party Kernel (I prefer MiPa or Sphinx found in other threads)
Reboot and enjoy!
Flash ROM and REMOVE Encryption: (Keeps Stock Kernel)
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'verity' AND 'forceencryp' is in the file name. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Reboot and enjoy!
If you have problems with any of them, you might need to format internal storage first (where you have to answer 'yes' in TWRP)
/.
As far as I understand, you are having problems while booting into TWRP. You should boot into TWRP right after flashing it, and boot into OS once again and reboot to recovery. It should work. If you see the stock recovery, keep flashing TWRP. If you want to temporarily flash it, use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" command.

No problems booting into TWRP.
You can use "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img"
Then reboot phone and hold volume-up+power. When booting until TWRP appears. If you miss it and it tries to boot it will overwrite it. But I've never had issues otherwise.

Thanks for the reply. I will choose the first option, I replace the stock kernel with sphinx kerne, so I get more functionality, battery life, performance, fluidity ... also the developer has mentioned us, if any desired functionality is missing in this kernel, it is possible ask the developer to add us. so I choose the first option, I have some questions before replacing the stock kernel: 1) is it possible to restore the kernel stock, in case of problem, if yes, where can I get the kernel for Mi 8? 2) if in the future there will be a new update of sphinx kerne, how do I understand if a new update has been released? will you notify me ?? 3) are you sure that after these steps, upon restarting the phone, I will find the root installed ?, if I would like to restart the device, it will not boot in twrp but in the system, because I replaced the stock kernel, the same thing is also valid for the magisk modules, zip files ... 4) the last fundamental thing, will I receive updates via OTA ?? if not, is there a way to install future updates (I would like to try the latest magisk version, 19.3) ?. 5) it is safe if I install update via ota, it does not start in twrp, but system. 6) the steps to do are, flash twrp custom via fastboot, I choose to delete the memory, restart twrp, copy the files (MIUI global stable, sphinx kernel, dm-verify), flash rom, flash dm-verify, flash magisk, flash kernel, device reboot, all right. Thanks a lot for the questions

both methods don't work, the first one gives me error when I install kernel, the second one on startup gives me a lot of error
I managed to install the root, doing the following steps: flash twrp via fastboot, copy the files to the internal memory, install rom files, install magisk files, install dm-verify, then reboot, and it works perfectly. but I have some problems: when I reboot the device, it starts in twrp not in the system, and therefore I am forced to do it again. help me !! kernel replacement gives me error, both

You should not have errors flashing a kernel. Maybe you should flash all partition images from fastboot. Or maybe wrong recovery? What version are you using?

TWRP 3.3.1.1 https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dipper/
I followed in this guide "https://clk.ink/7q4SUR" but instead of installing Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1.zip I downloaded Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018.zip, is it the same ?, also I saw that, when I go inside the magisk, and I click on uninstall> restore image, a warning appears "there is no original boot image", I also executed this command in powershell "fastboot getvar current-slot" but I get a "GetVar Variable Not found" error. I don't know how to solve. thank you

revert magisk to v23

Waking up with a sleepy head I wanted to swipe the new version notification away, but didnt swipe well enough and it actually upgraded. I need to downgrade to v23 again but for whatever reason, its not working. Here's what I tried:
1. Reboot to fastboot and do fastboot boot magisk_patched.img (boot img with magisk 23 I use after OTA's). This boots but its not rooted. Magisk mgr is 24 though.
2. Rebooted to system, uninstalled Installed magisk manager 24, rebooted and retried the above. Installed Magisk mgr 23. No root.
I then unpacked the latest full oos 11 for my phone with payload_dumper, copied the boot.img to my phone and patched it using magisk manager 23. Copied it back to the PC.
retried step 1. No root.
Rebooted to fastboot again, checked current slot, its A.
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img (the new one I patched in the step above).
Rebooted, no root.
What am I supposed to do to get Magisk 23 back on my phone?
The reason is I'm dependent on riru/lsposed for a couple of xposed modules. If I disable zygisk in magisk 24 I won't have root hide, if I enable that, riru/lsposed isn't working.
Thanks for the help!
Yeah I had a similar issue on A12 rom, Magisk 24 just doesn't allow me to pass safety net due to Google play services in Magisk 24 deny list unselects after a reboot, so downgrading to 23 which just works after using hide list.
I had to disable and remove any modules, unhide Magisk 24 then restart.
Use Magisk 24 uninstall in the app and restart.
Install Magisk 23 and Install to boot image file to payload Boot.img, restart to Fastboot and flash as you did.
Then again in Magisk install select Direct Install then restart.
Reapply Magiskhide to apps google pay/services etc restart and check root.
I still have an issue with Magisk hiding the app installs the proxy app but it doesn't open so isn't working, so still working on this. Root is working tho with the above.
Thanks, I still cant get it to work though.
I can patch the boot.img, but when I try to boot it I don't get root.
When I flash and boot it, there still is no root available.
Possibly i had the same issue, no root after flashing the 23-modified boot image. I solved it by, upgrading the app to 24.3, patch the boot image, reboot to fastboot, flash it, reboot it so i was back at Magisk 24.3 Then i did a full uninstall of Magisk, via the app. Then installed app v23. Patched the boot image etc as per https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images
Key here was, i think the full removal of Magisk 24 before downgrading.

Easy root & TWRP for Transpeed 6K h616 box

After struggling for hours trying to flash one of these boxes, I finally gave up and tried something... Flashing with kingo. To my surprise kingo rooted it in like 5 seconds. I already had Magisk installed, so anyhow - process went like this:
1) Install Magisk app
2) Install kingo app
3) Root with kingo
4) Run Magisk, choose to install magisk with direct patching method
5) Reboot
6) Uninstall kingo (Kingo app and Superuser app)
7) Install Flashify
8) Flash the recovery.img found in 351 Transpeed H40.rar
9) Use Magisk to reboot to recovery
Why on earth I could not get this box to flash is beyond wrapping my head around. No matter, for everything seems to be ok.
Its worth noting that using this method causes magisk to give the abnormal blah blah error on startup. Its annoying however root still works. If you'd like this message to go away, do this:
Have a copy of the latest magisk on your box, with file extension renamed to zip from apk.
Reboot to TWRP from within the magisk app
IIn TWRP, choose install, then browse to where you saved the magisk.zip file to and flash it.
Now reboot, and go to the magisk app. It will have a new error - and want reinstalled.
Choose direct install method, then click "Do it" in upper right hand corner. Flash and reboot
Now everything is right as rain. =)
