Howto install TWRP For SM-T225
# Patch Samsung AP Firmware via Magisk v24.0
1. Install Magisk.apk on your device SM-T225 with select no update checking, and transferred AP_xxx.tar.md5 from computer to your tab.
2. Patch Samsung AP Firmware via Magisk Manager.
( Once done, the newly created magisk_patched.tar file will be present under the
Downloads folder on your device.)
3. you may now transfer this patched TAR file to the folder on your PC where other extracted firmware files (AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME_CSC) are present.
4. FLASH it with ODin as usual by used magisk_patched.tar file at AP slot .
5. REBOOT SYSTEM Quick SETUP < NO NEED INTERNET>
6. Power Off and press Volum up +Volumn down + USB for boot into Download mode
7. FLASH TWRP.tar from https://github.com/DevZillion/android_device_samsung_gta7lite/releases at "AP slot"
But this time set Odin option NO Auto- REBOOT, yes do it yourself with key press ( power + volumn up). If you can't do this , let it reboot to system and uses cmd " adb reboot recovery".
When access to twrp
Go to Advanced > Terminal and type "multidisabler" (without quotes", then data wipe.
Now reboot into system, after completing first setup of the device reboot into TWRP again to see if you can see the contents of your Internal Storage, you should, if yes you have successfully disabled Samsung encryption of internal storage.
-install TWRP ( not for the first time installation )
From my tutorial: Easy & Quick RESTORE FROM (ANY GSI ) BACK TO (STOCK with TWRP)
!!! Download the actual Firmware A11 with Frija or samfirm or Bifrost, and extract
it and you will get 5 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC and HOME_CSC). All files are in tar format and can be opened by 7-Zip, WinRAR or other archrive software.
1. Flash the FW A11
- BL + AP + CP + CSC ( clean data)
- put (TWRP + vbmeta_disabler)dot tar in USERDATA slot.
and click "Start"
NOTE.
• Default Auto reboot to system.
• Your device will reboot but it will not boot into system as "vbmeta signature" has changed.
2. When Auto Boot into TWRP mode from step 1.
( May be Black screen , try to press power button + Volumn for activated twrp screen.)
In your TWRP Recovery menu.
• Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler. Click Enter.
• Go back to Main menu , Wipe > Format Data > type yes.
Option<<<Install the Magisk.apk with TWRP >>>
3. Boot---->System
Done
NOTE: If you wish to install TWRP without rooting, there are numerous pitfalls to consider. For example, a stock device is protected by Android Verified Boot. This is implemented as a vbmeta partition that contains cryptographic digests for verifying the integrity of boot.img, recovery.img and other partitions/images. Flashing TWRP without first flashing a vbmeta image with verity disabled will render your device unable to boot.

》》From your Computer
1. INSTALL "Android Bootloader interface" Driver.
Note: very important bootloader driver for used fastboot of the twrp.
Android Bootloader Interface Drivers are needed for your PC to identify the device connected in Fastboot Mode and hence execute the desired Fastboot Commands.

2. Copy & paste "Platform tools" to C:/ and copy &paste GSI.img into this folder.
( "vbmeta.img" IF NOT FOUNDED , PLEASE EXTRACTED FROM YOUR AP FILE)

Recently purchased an iplay 7t after reading the xda review. This is replacing an LG v400 tablet that I had rooted. I updated the iplay to build T701_V1.20_20191112, enabled developer options, enabled oem unlock bootloader, found the corresponding firmware pac, installed magisk and used it to patch boot.img. So far so good.
I entered fastboot, then I attempted to flash the modified boot.img and was told:
Code:
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (18584 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.593s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Flashing Lock Flag is locked. Please unlock it first!)
finished. total time: 0.608s
I tried various options to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
> fastboot getvar unlocked

> fastboot oem unlock
...

finished. total time: -0.000s

fastboot: usage: unknown 'flashing' command unlock_bootloader
> fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader_nonce
fastboot: usage: unknown 'flashing' command unlock_bootloader_nonce
Okay ... fine. I fired up SPD Research tool and attempted to use it to flash the modified boot.img. It transfers the image and then times out.
As a sanity check I used SPD Research tool to flash the original boot.img and that worked fine.
I'll note the modified image is smaller than the original, however padding the modified image with zeros to the same size didn't seem to help. Using SPD Research tool to flash the padded image still timed out.
I am looking to open a request up on the Alldocube support site (currently their registration form is giving me an error), in the meantime ... suggestions? Has anyone successfully flashed a modified boot.img on this device / rooted this device?
in the "developer option" on your phone, you should enable the "allow unlock bootloader" option.
DR.Doyle said:

Yes ... I have that enabled.
Okay I was able to unlock the bootloader by using the procedure documented for the Qin 2 Pro. With the bootloader unlocked on reboot the device notes:
Code:
INFO: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCKED!!!
followed by:
Code:
WARNING: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCKED, SKIP VERIFY!!!
Using fastboot I can now reflash the stock vbmeta and the stock recovery without any problems and the stock recovery boots fine.
Also if I re-sign the stock recovery, then I can't flash it (fastboot flash hangs) until I've flashed a modified vbmeta containing the new public key for the re-signed recovery. Meaning flashing vbmeta is "working".
All this seems like I'm on the right track.
However attempting to boot into the re-signed stock recovery results in:
Code:
INFO: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCKED!!!
followed by the device hanging (without displaying the WARNING message) so there is still something that's unhappy.
Any thoughts on how to get to the point that I can flash a useable re-signed stock recovery? If I can get that to work, then I should be in good shape to install magisk.

Dear jwehle:
good job, i have also modify the pac firmware file which based on chinese vesion firmware:T701-1101-vbmetapri-vennofbe-systemnore-recpri01.pac
What's modified:
1.resgin the vbmeta img
2.delete fbe Force encryption in vendor partitions
3.delete the script in system.img to prevent factory recovery restore
4.modify recovery.img to a magisk build-in recovery
please use SPD_Research_Tool to flash the pac,change the android os language from chinese to english ,install magiskmanager app ,and the use adb command (adb reboot recovery)to let tablet reboot to recovery.
after tablet reboot to android os again ,open magiskmanager app,you can see the magisk can get root authority .
how to change language from chinese to english,please see attach png file.
Considering that the Android os you are using is in English version(including Google services),according to the modification points above, you can try to use the vbmeta and recovery (built in magisk) modified by your own signature , and then delete the fbe Force encryption、 recovery restoration in the system and vendor images , then use the SPD_Research_Tool to package the imgs into a pac image, flash the pac image, install the magiskmanager app, and use the adb command to restart the machine into recovery mode, so you can use magisk to get root permissions.

Thanks for supplying the modified PAC and for explaining the changes.
Your PAC seemed to work fine and now that I have a better understanding
of things I should be able build my own PAC when I have a chance.
Your time and effort in explaining things is appreciated.
What's the significance of removing the encryption for the vendor partitions?

Actually, I was more curious as to why it was necessary / desirable to remove the encryption from the vendor partitions.

Just for twrp to read the data partition, convenient for personal use。
It looks like the issue on this tablet is similar to what the magisk documentation mentions regarding the new Samsung tablets. Meaning after the bootloader is unlocked when rooting you should flash newly signed versions of the following:
Code:
vbmeta
boot
recovery
What was happening is when the system started normally it saw that recovery image had been modified so it checked if the boot image was the factory standard image. Since I hadn't touched the boot image the OS went ahead and attempted to replace the recovery image I flashed with a standard recovery image generated on the fly from the factory standard boot image. This caused a soft-brick when I rebooted into recovery since that recovery image wasn't signed using the public key specified by my replacement vbmeta.
By also flashing a newly signed boot image because the signature is different from what's it knows about the system no longer attempts to use it to refresh the recovery image.
Here's an outline of what I did to successfully root the device:
Use the Qin 2 Pro instructions / tools to unlock the boot loader.
Flash the appropriate factory standard firmware to establish a know starting point. I used iplay7t(T701)-Android9.0-ALLDOCUBE-191112 from the Alldocube web site.
Use SPD Rsearch Tool to extract vbmeta-sign.img, boot.img, and recovery.img.
Use avbtool (with the below patch) to extract the public keys from vbmeta-sign.img like so:
Code:
avbtool info_image --image vbmeta-sign.img.
Use make (with the below makefile) to sign vbmeta, boot, and recovery using a new key.
Flashed vbmeta, boot, and recovery.
Booted into recovery, saw that it worked, and did a factory reset.
Used magisk to patch recovery.img in the normal fashion, signed the patched recovery using the new key, and flashed the patched recovery.
Proceed to finish installing magisk in the normal fashion.
Notes:
rsa4096_vbmeta.pem is the private key mentioned in the Qin 2 Pro article.
The dhtbsign-vbmeta command is basically the dhtb signing python script from Qin 2 Pro article.
Here's the trival patch for avbtool to dump the public keys.
Code:

@ jwehle，Very grateful for your detailed sharing
Did you have any trouble getting the tablet to populate the fastboot devices list?
I have USB drivers installed and can view the tablet's internal storage when it's not in fastboot mode. She's plugged directly into the mobo and I've tried two cables.
When in fastboot mode, it comes up in the Windows Device Manager as fastboot Gadget and drivers are apparently not available. I've tried using Zadig to feed it a driver of some kind, but still nothing.

Seems the issue was with Windows. I thought I would be able to get the unlock token with Windows and then use WSL to do the rest of the signing, but apparently not.
Luckily I had an old laptop lying around. I threw Linux Mint on it and it worked just fine.
It didn't seem to work just using a live USB; I had to install Linux to the hard disk, but YMMV.

This was wonderful, thank you! I've added some of my own notes below as an experience of what I encountered when attempting this process myself (spoiler'd because it is a lot).
I do not have enough post count to add links, but titles to the relevant articles has been added.
Follow steps in Article "Guide: How to Unlock Xiaomi Qin 2 (Pro) and Install Custom ROMs" from step 1 to (and including) step 10 (Unlocking section).
Notes:
- A Linux PC is necessary.
- You'll have to mark the "fastboot" file from the "Android_device_unlock.rar" archive as executable (chmod +x).
- Run the "fastboot" file as root.
- Getting the "SPD Research Tool" to pick up the tablet and not let the tablet try to move to either the charging
screen or the bootlogo is difficult, but do-able. Press and hold Power+Vol_Up and release when Windows does its
USB device detected chime.
- Flashing takes a few minutes (I think around 300 seconds).
- The SPD Research Tool extracts the PAC file contents into a folder. Grab the system images from there.
- The "avbtool" is available to be cloned via git from Google's repo
- The avbtool is a python script that is patched with three lines of code at line 1776:
Code:
kfd = open(self.partition_name, "w");
kfd.write(self.public_key);
kfd.close();
- When you use the patched avbtool on the vbmeta-sign.img file you copied (avbtool info_image --image vbmeta-sign.img)
it will produce several partitions with relative public keys that need to be stored in separate files for the next step.
The contents of the files are simply the public key and the partition name as the file name. Store the files in a folder named "keys".
- When creating the makefile, ensure that proper indentation is used. The code segment below is properly formatted (hopefully). If you get make errors, remove and re-indent the lines.
- If your "rsa4096_vbmeta.pem" keyfile is not placed alongside the makefile, ensure the --key flag points to this file.
- The makefile exists in the same directory as the system images.
- I had to insert local paths to the avbtool, as it was not installed to the system PATH.
- The dhtbsign-vbmeta.py command is located below. Make sure to mark this as executable as well.
Everything else is rather straightforward.

i think this will be a help .
Help me
Sir help pliz same problem my device ,same chipset , Symphony i95 ,pliz sir modify my pac file pliz....
wangyiling said:
Dear jwehle:
good job, i have also modify the pac firmware file which based on chinese vesion firmware:T701-1101-vbmetapri-vennofbe-systemnore-recpri01.pac
What's modified:
1.resgin the vbmeta img
2.delete fbe Force encryption in vendor partitions
3.delete the script in system.img to prevent factory recovery restore
4.modify recovery.img to a magisk build-in recovery
please use SPD_Research_Tool to flash the pac,change the android os language from chinese to english ,install magiskmanager app ,and the use adb command (adb reboot recovery)to let tablet reboot to recovery.
after tablet reboot to android os again ,open magiskmanager app,you can see the magisk can get root authority .
how to change language from chinese to english,please see attach png file.
Considering that the Android os you are using is in English version(including Google services),according to the modification points above, you can try to use the vbmeta and recovery (built in magisk) modified by your own signature , and then delete the fbe Force encryption、 recovery restoration in the system and vendor images , then use the SPD_Research_Tool to package the imgs into a pac image, flash the pac image, install the magiskmanager app, and use the adb command to restart the machine into recovery mode, so you can use magisk to get root permissions.

Easy to way to install a GSI on your Samsung A21s without installing a Virtual Linux.
NFC, Screen Cast, and USB MTP unfortunately is not working with AOSP 10 and 11. Backup all your data.
If don't want to make one, download my Pre-Rooted GSIs below and flash.
*Unlock your Bootloader and wipe your data using your stock recovery and quickly boot to Download Mode and flash the super.tar on Odin (AP):
Android 10 -> Download (MediaFire)Android 11 -> Download (MediaFire)Android 11 - AOSP 11.0 v306 -> Download (MEGA) - NEWAndroid 10 Screenshots
1. Requirements:
1. Unlock your Bootloader2. Download and Install a Linux Subsystem -> Ubuntu Subsystem -> "Tutorial How to install Linux Subsystem on Windows 10 | or search how to"3. GSI Android 10 A/B Gapps -> Download only the "arm64, A/B". I recommend releases from Treble Experimentations AOSP like "system-roar-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz". 4. Samsung.zip -> There's all needed tools and files - Odin, 7-Zip ZS etc...
- Download Samsung.zip and extract the folder "Samsung" to your desktop, and extract your chosen GSI using to this folder.
- Download your stock firmware and extract the super.img.lz4 file from AP_A217XXXXXXXXXX_XXX_XXXX_REV00_XXX.tar.md5 with 7-Zip ZS.
- Now extract super.img.lz4 using 7-Zip ZS (don't use 7-zip) to Samsung folder. Rename super.img to stock_super.img.
2. Convert stock_super.img to raw_super.img:Open CMD ad use this codes:
cd C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\Samsungsimg2img.exe stock_super.img raw_super.img
Wait...
3. Extract raw_super.img:On your Samsung folder, use SHIFT key of your keyboard + right click and click at "Open Linux Shell Here", wait a little, and use this code and wait the extraction:
./lpunpack --slot=0 raw_super.img
*If the extraction is completed, verify if there's this files odm.img, system.img, vendor.img and product.img. Delete or rename system.img and product.img, then extract your GSI to Samsung folder and rename the xxx.img file to system.img.
4. Pack all the files and Flash:No math here! Just use this code on Terminal and wait (Ignore errors like "Partition system, vendor, odm will resize..." or "Invalid sparce file format at header magic...")
./lpmake --metadata-size 65536 --super-name super --metadata-slots 2 --device super:5557452800 --group main:3819597824 --partition system:readonly:3340271616:main --image system=./system.img --partition vendor:readonly:474976256:main --image vendor=./vendor.img --partition odm:readonly:4349952:main --image odm=./odm.img --sparse --output ./super.img
Wait....
Use 7-Zip to archive the super.img to .tar (super.tar) and flash it on Odin (AP) and wait the phone to boot.
Unlock your Bootloader and wipe your data using your stock recovery and quickly boot to Download Mode and flash the super.tar on Odin (AP):
Notes:I not responsible for any damage on your phone. If anything occurs, just flash your stock regional firmware through Odin.
If this tutorial did not work, you did something wrong or your phone is not supported. Don't forget to wipe your data through Recovery, it's very important.

I tried all of this and I even went as far as trying to literally change the filesystem UUID and the filesystem of system.img as well, I detected some issues when booting a GSI and it's that the filesystem and the filesystem UUID's had to match (filesystem had to be EXT2 for some reason), and after I did all of that, I flashed the super.img to my phone but after a few seconds of it trying to boot (10 seconds after it's past the unlocked bootloader screen) it just reboots and kicks me to fastboot mode, a friend of mine told me that if it booted to fastboot it meant that the bootloader was able to pass instructions to the OS but failed, hence why it kicked me to fastboot, and after that I tried with different GSIs and neither of them worked sadly.
Also in the attributes I'd recommend changing "readonly" to "none" so that the partitions are Read/Write from super.img, after flashing super.img, just edit the fstab file (located in "/etc/fstab" for recovery) and replace "ro" in the mount points with "rw" so that you can read and write data to them, the point of this is to make the partitions read and write so that you can edit them and install anything you'd like, and that's exactly the reason I did it.
After some time we got a modded magisk apk that does work and doesn't have the legacy device detection issue that it had before, due to the phone using dynamic partitions and using a ramdisk, Magisk would detect the device as legacy and it would use "SAR_init", something that the device doesn't needs and because the boot process fails, it reboots.
Also, before I realized that you could make the partitions inside super.img read/write, I would usually use readonly and it wouldn't work either, I'd appreciate if you could help me with this.

Also, Just so you know, the recovery that we have is OrangeFox R11 which is currently an alpha build, thanks to magisk I was able to use the tool "dd" in termux to flash the recovery.img to /dev/block/by-name/recovery (aka the recovery partition) and this helped me bypass DL mode which is even worse now that I upgraded to U5 (I regret it and I tried downgrading from recovery instead of DL mode but the linux kernel itself protects the mmcblk0boot0 partition which is supposed to be the partition where the "BL" is located, and I tried flashing the sboot.bin file to that partition and it didn't work due to it being protected
Anyways back to the original topic, I don't know how but after flashing OrangeFox R11 with dd in android (I used su with magisk of course because), OrangeFox managed to boot with stock vbmeta and this build was supposedly built with A10's firmware in mind, not A11's firmware, so I have some hopes that flashing super.img from recovery might work if given the right vendor and firmware, I even flashed a vbmeta that was made for U3 from OrangeFox and it booted without any issues, oddly enough OneUI booted with that U3 vbmeta.img

It seems that the A21S hasn't had any root since it was released (other than pre-rooted GSI ROMS) When flashing Magisk, the phone went into bootloop, and the only way to fix it was to flash stock rom via Odin. After some analysis, it seems that...

What's the point of making a prerooted GSI with an outdated root method?
You can't even install modules with SuperSU
To David112+ :
In My Opinion, Prerooted GSI Is Way Better.
You Could See The Comparison I Made Here.
Also Making One GSI Could Gain Me Lots Of Experience.
So I Couldn't Think Of The Reason Why Not
Magisk Patched Stock [Firmware / ROM] Also Have It Own Problem,
Which You Could Find Here.

I don't think you've realized or checked the group of the phone but a load of people have already rooted their ROMs with Magisk and so far they have no problems, and still, everyone agrees that installing modules somewhere from the internet is the responsibility of the end user.
And I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that magisk is the best root method, and even if you wipe data, you can just reinstall the Magisk apk to get the root prompt and finish setting it up, or better yet. use the systemizer module to systemize the magisk apk so that it's installed in system instead of data.
Making a prerooted GSI is just a waste of time, I'd rather just make normal GSI that's flashable on the phone and just install Magisk or systemize the Magisk APK.
I do agree that making a GSI flashable for the phone makes you gain a lot of experience but you're wasting your time into something that barely anyone is going to use, due to the fact that it has SuperSU which is old and outdated and most people prefer Magisk anyways because it's updated and not only that but you can pretty much install anything you'd like with the modules.
To David112+ :
Sorry To Disagree With You, I Was Trying To Acheive A Goal There .
My Goal Was To Get ADB (Android Debug Bridge) With "adb root" Working On Magisk Patched Stock [Firmware / ROM]. After Many Research & Attempt To Acheive That, I Gave Up... I Gained Some Knowledge There Too. I Know That Stock Rom Are For Production Purpose & I Can't Gain Root Access Using ADB (Android Debug Bridge).
Hopefully I Could Get Help Somewhere.
But Fun Fact Is...
I Water-Damaged My Phone
Question :
1.) Is It Possible To Make A Non Rooted GSI & Patch It With Magisk ? How ?

Custom ROMs should work with ADB root normally
2. To install Magisk just use the links that I shared in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-gsis-for-samsung-a21s.4269227/post-84975373)
After upgrading to U5, I can't install these GSIs anymore. It bootloop all the times
To David112+ :
But Is Not Possible To Use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) On Magisk Patched Stock [Firmware / ROM]. What I Was Saying Is To Use "adb root" On Magisk Patched Stock [Firmware / ROM]
I'm Only Able To Use The Command "adb root" In Custom GSI Built By Wer99.
Not Every Custom Build GSI Are Prerooted.
Maybe You're Right Magisk Is Better Than Old Little SuperSU. But I Need "adb root" To Work With It

If you have magisk with stock ROM, good news for you, I'll be working a guide in how to get a GSI installed as a magisk module, I tested this with ShapeShiftOS and I got as far as the boot animation of ShapeShiftOS, Once I was booted I checked ADB and sdcard was encrpyted and that's why it wasn't able to start correctly, it was just stuck in the google logo with a loading bar, I'm gonna try decrypting data, formatting and then installing the module
If this does work then I'll be releasing a guide in how to get a GSI of your preference working as a magisk module
Explanation: Thanks to Magisk's Magic Mount feature, I'm able to systemlessly swap the assets of OneUI with a Custom ROM's of my choosing, such as ShapeShiftOS
Edit: This idea is discarded, Because of the userdata partition being encrypted I can't use ShapeShiftOS, and even after decrypting I can't use it because OneUI gets stuck in "Starting android" when using the boot image with patched fstab and magisk
And if I download gsi android 11 through mediafire, will I have to do all this procedure? or just flash on odin? A21S ANDROID 11.

Good day !
this guide assumes you have • Downloaded the Repartitioning tool
after following the repartitioning tutorial your phone will have an empty system and vendor partition so follow this tutorial to fix that
In this tutorial I will explain how to flash generic system images based on android 9,10 & 11.
To boot GSI first we all need stable vendor image and boot image with good Stable kernel.
Whenever these both get's stabilized then we can expect 85% of the GSI with good stability. We all know that most of the device specific stuff locates in vendor image so yeah if we have stabilized vendor image and boot image then we are good to go for flashing generic system images.
Installation procedure
==============
• For Android 10 GSI, I choose Lineage 17.1 as base for vendor.img and boot.img
• For Android 11 GSI, I choose Lineage 18.1 as base for vendor.img and boot.img
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Connect phone to pc
3. Enable developer options
4. Enable usb debugging
5. Type adb devices
6. Type adb reboot bootloader
7. Type fastboot devices && fastboot -w
8. Type fastboot boot twrp.img
9. Copy GSI , vendor.img and boot.img to internal storage
10. Select install & select install image
11. Select GSI.img ( Whatever GSI as your wish ) select system image and swipe to flash
12. Select vendor.img ( According to GSI android version ) select vendor image and swipe to flash
13. Select boot.img ( According to GSI android version ) select boot and swipe to flash
• Download A11 vendor & boot image
• Download A10 vendor & boot image
Thank you !!

"Updating Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a devices to Android 13 for the first time
Warning: The Android 13 update for Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel 6a contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-roll back version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing an Android 13 build on these devices you will not be able to flash and boot older Android 12 builds. For developers who need to develop and test against an Android 12 environment, a special Developer Support Build that contains the bootloader update should be used.
After taking an Android 13 update and successfully booting the device post update, an Android 12 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updates for more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains an older bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented. If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, the fallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries to boot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the older bootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.
To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing a Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, or Pixel 6 Pro device with an Android 13 build for the first time, please flash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot"...
If you want to update to the Android 13 Factory image without wiping your phone: Do Flash Factory Image Keep Data (below).
Always verify you have the latest working version of SDK Platform-Tools installed on your computer before installing the Factory Image: Pixel 6 - oriole.
If you get an error while flashing, try one of these options:
Change the USB port to a non charging USB port.
Change the USB cord.
Change Computers.
If you phone bootloops
Press the Power button until the phone turns off.
Press the Power and Volume Down to boot the bootloader.
Open a Command Prompt in the SDK-Platform-tools folder or the folder that has adb.exe in it, and type adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
then type
fastboot Reboot

For sure! Depending on your time committments that would be great.
When I go to patch the boot.img I get an error in Magisk
Code:
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing 92546e8a (23016)
! Process error
! Installation failed
In the logs, I see the following error in the stack trace
Code:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/boot.img: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
It seems like Magisk doesn't have permission to access the boot image?
EDIT:
Nevermind, it was caused by the app I was using to select the file. I used Google's default Files app and that fixed it
As always, great work! Boomarked in case i have a brain fart

I'm assuming you have the latest version of SDK Platform-tools r. 31.0.3 installed on your computer, there are no typing errors on the command fastboot..., USB debugging is enabled, and fastboot.exe is in this folder:
C:\Users\Derek\Desktop
Try opening Command Prompt in this folder:

Then type:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23016_zt99Y.img to flash it.

What is FastbootD? How to Boot to FastbootD Mode
In this tutorial, we will explain you what is FastbootD Mode in Android, how to boot to FastbootD Mode and how to exit this mode.
www.droidwin.com
*Limitation of FastbootD
FastbootD not the same as regular "fastboot", impossible to use fastbootd without " Dynamic partition. etc., dynamic partitions are automatically created, resized, or deleted as needed.
*FastbootD has access in logical partition like Super Partition.
( have odm +product+vendor+system partition inside) , Because dynamic partitions are implemented in userspace, partitions needed by the bootloader can't be made dynamic. For example, boot, dtbo, and vbmeta are read by the bootloader, and so must remain as physical partitions.
then
You can't uses by fastbootD performed
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmata vbmeta.img
✓ Not enough space to resize partition solution
Solution:
Removing stock system_ext and/or product from fastbootd is enough, like so:
***Don't uses this command
"fastboot delete-logical-partition product"
why ?
the product partition, with around 1.3GB in size isn’t even required by the GSIs.
then you can delete data on product partition.
*(Didn't delete product partition itself but deletes only data inside this partition , then android will auto-resize product'spartition.)
Do this.
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase product
set the size of the product partition to 0
Code:
fastboot resize-logical-partition product 0x0
To verify if the partition size has become 0.
Code:
fastboot getvar all
If one of the lines shows the below code, then the process is a success.
Code:
(bootloader) partition-size:product:0x0
