Hello everyone,
Yesterday i've got my hands on an old Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 16GB and since i'm a fan of CM i wanted to install it.
The problem begins when i try to flash with Odin, no matter which version, USB Port, PIT File or what i'm trying to Flash it gets stuck at "Get pit for Mapping".
I tried on two PCs one with Windows 7 and one with XP but no luck.
The phone works perfectly with the Stock ROM 4.3 and i'm trying to figure out what is wrong with it.
I can't Root it, i can't Flash a Custom Recovery and i NEED HELP PLEASE.
1. Enable developer options (google it).
2. Enable adb (in developer options).
3. Grab all this : https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B4vTiHTBB629ZW5vQndpbjFnblk/edit
4. Put phone in download mode and connect to pc.
5. Install drivers (the one with 15 in the filename works for me in xp).
6. Run odin and click pda, select the rom.
7. Click start and wait for "pass"
8. Put phone in download mode and flash cfautoroot via odin (click pda and select cfautoroot).
9. Click start and let the device do its reboot with the red writing etc..
10. You now have 2 choices for flashing a custom recovery. Mobile odin or pc odin must be used. If there is no custom recovery file in the link i provided i recommend the official website only for obtaining the file. If you use pc odin you need the .tar file and flash via pda again. If you use mobile odin you need the .zip and the process is obvious.
Good luck.

Hello mate and thanks for your help, i tried to do your list but when i try to flash it still hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
BTW when you say enable ADB you mean the USB Debbuging right?
What else can i try?
Yes i mean usb debugging. Looks like the partition table (pit) is definitely corrupt. If you cannot flash another pit file then your device needs jtag or call it dead.
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

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!

Ah thanks. Having trouble finding root instructions for mine, and starting to be somewhat sure they don't exist. So many garbagey sites with bad info. This is the only site I ever see the real deal.
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

AND THATS IT
ONE A21S SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED

How to root a217fxxs7cui3 on 7th bootloader??
Hello. Is it possible to root with android 11 binary 8?
Anyone has a quick guide to updating from rooted A11 to rooted A12
Make multiple backups. You will lose all data, no matter what. Also, TWRP is broken.
Download an A12 update ZIP.
Extract it, then extract the AP file.
Plug device into PC. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and that you permanently trust the current computer when you are prompted.
Use terminal or CMD to reboot to Download mode: "adb reboot download"
Open Odin3 PatcheD
Check the box for AP
Click the AP button
Select the stock AP file (or just the super.img.lz4 file, which I did.)
Wait for Odin to finish checking the file
Click the Start button
Go through the setup on device, you can skip everything.
Go to Settings and enable Developer Options.
Ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and that you permanently trust the current computer when you are prompted.
Use terminal or CMD to reboot to Download mode: "adb reboot download"
On the PC, extract the AP .tar.md5 file
Once extracted, select the boot.img.lz4 and the vbmeta.img.lz4, then add them to a ".tar" archive using a program such as 7zip.
Copy the new .tar file to any device with the Magisk app on it (even if the device is not rooted)
Open the Magisk app, click "Install"
Click "Select and patch a file"
Choose the .tar file you copied to the device
Click "Install"
Magisk will tell you where the patched file is located.
Locate the patched magisk file, then copy it to your computer.
Flash the RMM fix by following the steps here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-binaries-are-allowed-to-be-flashed.3893592/
In Odin3 PatcheD, check the box for AP
Click the AP button
Select the patched file from magisk
Click the Start button
BOOM. You're rooted. Set up the device for real this time to get your backups copied over properly.

Which model do you have? Do you mean to say you have the T870? If so, check here.
I should also mention that I wrote this guide under the assumption that there is an Android 12 update available for your device, but it's for a different region. I do not condone doing this on any model other than the T970, and I am not responsible if your stuff breaks, ESPECIALLY if you try this on models other than the T970.
Hi @nooted1 , I keep getting the following error:
partion abl
Reason abl: Hash of data does not match digest in descriptor. [2nd] (3)
Wonder if you know what is the issue?
I flash the AP file for SM-T970-KOO using Odin 3 PatchedD on my US SM-T970 model.
Thanks in advance.

"Tab s7 wifi" does not tell me your model number though. The model will be something like SM-T870, SM-T970, SM-T976B, etc.
I got an error flashing the Korean A12 AP on US t970. Hash Data does not match in descriptor. Going to flash back the original
Edit: Sorry, wrong thread
Been skimming through messages but not finding a clear answer or haven't seen it asked... I have a SM-T878U (Tab S7 LTE/5G). Can I flash Korean or European firmware on it? Normally I'd know not to however, they share the same chipset AFAIK but don't wanna factory reset my set up if it isn't going to even work.
Any ideas?

Thank you for these instructions!
I am curious: your instructions don't mention BL..., CSC... nor HOME_CSC...
Until now I flashed AP/BL/CSC the first time and Magisk-patched-AP/BL/HOME_CSC when updating. Are BL and (HOME)_)CSC nop longer needed?

CSC doesn't seem to matter for WiFi-only models. Personally my goal in trying this was to get to Android 12 while changing as little as possible, since I do not know the possible outcome of trying to flash a foreign BL/CSC/etc to my T970. I waited for the official A12 version for my T970 with XAR as CSC, and *then* I flashed all of those.
One thing I can say for sure, though, is that AP is all that's needed for rooting with Magisk. And not even all of the AP, just boot and vbmeta.

I may be wrong on this, but my understanding is that very few devices are capable of retaining root after relocking the bootloader. My recent experiments with the OnePlus 8 proved that it's definitely possible, but as I am only a hobbyist tinkerer I do not know how or why this is or isn't possible on different devices.

Sorry to hear that. The good news is that at this point the A12 update has been released for most (if not all) regions and variants, though you may need to search multiple Samsung firmware download sites to find your specific version.
I just share my experience. Do it at your own risk
I. Unlock bootloader
1. Enable developer options by tapping build number 7 times
2. Go to Developer options, turn on OEM unlocking
3. Turn off Tab A7 Lite, connect it to the computer while holding Volume Up and Volume Down keys until you see the bootloader screen
4. Long-press Volume Up key to enter Device unlock mode
5. Press Volume Up key to confirm and unlock the bootloader
Done
II. Root
1. Unlock bootloader (skip this if you have done it)
2. (On PC) Extract boot.img.lz4 from Stock AP...tar file, then copy it to Tab
3. (On Tab) Install ZArchiver to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4
4. (On Tab) Install Magisk and patch the boot.img that you have just extracted from step 3
5. (On PC) Copy magisk_patched.img (in Tab\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)
8. After Tab reboot, open Magisk, update to newest version, open again and let it install something then reboot
Done
In case you don't want to do a full step by step as above, you can use my already patched boot.tar below, just download and flash it via odin. After flashing and reboot, open Magisk, update to newest version, open again and let it install something then reboot

Sorry, I did put the tablet in download mode, but it says the boot image cannot be flashed with odin becaouse its custom binary even if developer mode is on and OEM unlock is on... Strange! Any Ideas?

Sorry it was alright I just didnt press long enough the volume up button its different from a short press when unlocking the OEM.... Thats all a long press needed instead a short one.. Otherwise boot loader will stay locked.

I think you should download and flash latest firmware. You can download from this site:
samfw.com
Hello,
thank you for your help i have repaired the boot. it was a question of firmware indeed but beware for tablets version T225 "N" the firmware is not the same and is more difficult to find. they are not offered on dedicated sites.
i'm a sound lover, so i rooted my Samsung to get Viper4AndroidFx working.
I guess that this method is almost universal for Samsung devices, bit i'm not sure about that so be careful with this.
-you will void warranty for your device-
--Root access on the SM-A21F with the newest Firmware(A217FXXU8DVG4) update and Android 12--
if you are new to all of this search for all the things need first.(I used just heimdall for flashing, because JOdin3CASUAL throws error at me because of a corrupted pit file, don't know how to workaround this)
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FIRMWARE FOR THE FLASH!!!
Needs:
-Linux Machine for flashing tool Heimdall(try ubuntu studio for sound experience)
sudo apt install heimdall
There is also a frontend(GUI) for this tool:
sudo apt install heimdall-frontend
(install heimdall first, then the frontend)
-samloader Firmware tool(search for instructions to get the right Firmware)
-lz4 compression librarys to decompress the boot.img from stock firmware
-Magisk app(magisk from f-droid works)
-USB debugging allowed and OEM unlock enabled on your Samsung phone(search for developer options to do this and long press vol-up in Download mode)
1. get the firmware with samloader, decode,decompress,rename to ZIP and open the archive.Decompress the AP section, decompress the boot.img.lz4
2.put the boot.img on your phones storage to patch it with Magisk.
3.put the patched boot.img back on your Computer in a new folder and rename it back to it's original name boot.img
-make sure your phone is charged before you flash the image!
4.connect your device in download mode to the Computer(for SM-A217F:turn off the phone, press vol+ and vol- hold it both and connect the USB cable)
5.open a terminal window in the new folder where the patched and renamed boot.img is placed and type sudo heimdall print-pit, it shows the partition table of your device, for --BOOT you can also type the number of the partition as it's shown in the pit file)
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img
If anything goes wrong you can always flash back the original boot.img from downloaded stock firmware or unroot your device this way.
After this your device is rooted but there is no Twrp custom recovery for ths model yet.
The unofficial release which can be found on xda doesn't work for me. I've flashed it but got stuck in download mode.
Flashing works fine with other rooting tools but there is no way to get rid of the unrooted stock recovery yet.
I cannot guarantee you that this guide won't Brick your phone. Just be careful with the re-partition options in Odin, if you want to use it. All the work can be done with linux, heimdall and magisk.
heimdall print-pit will show the partititition table from your device.
--+no warranties. What works for me must not work for others.
For everyone who wants to root and no method has worked for him, or you have errors, or your device has not booted after the root.
You can follow the following explanation
Firstly, I used sm-a217f/ds phone
The baseband version is A217FXXU8DVG4
And its protection is U8
Android 12
First of all, you must disable the bootloader ... and this is very important so that no errors occur ... and also do a factory reset for your phone. So you should transfer all your important files before that
1- Get your official ROM from any trusted site
2- Decompress the ROM file and it will show you all the ROM files AP - BL - CP - CSC - HOME_CSC
3- Take the AP file and transfer it to your phone
4- Then download the latest version of the Magisk application
5- Then open the application and inject the AP file into it
6- The injection process takes a relatively long time. I think it takes five minutes or less, depending on the size of the AP file
7- After the injection process is complete, you will find the file that was injected with Magisk in the download files
8- Take the injected file and put it into the computer
9- Then open the Odin application and put the file that was injected into the AP box
10- Put all the rest of the files in your ROM file into Odin
11- We cancel the autorun mode from Odin
12- Then press Start
13- After the process is completed, restart the phone and remove the USB cable, and the phone will ask you to do a factory reset again, and press OK
14- Now the phone supports root
15- After unlocking the phone, install the Magisk app again
16- The application will ask you to download an additional component, click OK, and the phone will restart again
17- Now you have a rooted phone that has been linked to the Magisk application
I think this is the easiest explanation of rooting in detail
And good luck to all of you.
