So I purchased an A217M yesterday and first thing I tried to do was try and root it
I followed this guide https://magiskapp.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a21s-using-magisk/
and I *think* I successfully managed to do it cause I didn't get any bootloops
to verify that I was indeed in root mode I reinstalled magisk but the app said something like "Additional steps are required for magisk to work properly" or something then took me to a screen that said select something something and the other option was direct install, I picked direct install and now when I try to boot it says "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" in a corner of the screen and now I'm stuck here. Is there any way to reverse this?
"the here we go again" part means I also screwed up the previous time I tried to root a phone lol, on that occasion tho it was because I deleted an essential app accidentally
have a look anon
I don't wanna mess around with it too much before someone replies to but would doing a Factory data reset again fix this? I got work tomorrow and I only have today to get this working. I also wanna sell this other phone I have asap

btw I used the same Odin 3 steps I found in the magisk guide
guess this is Samsung's equivalent to bsod then..
why would magisk do this to me
welp
no response so I guess I'm stuck here
... at times like this I really wish I could go back in time
aight, left it with a buddy so he could redo everything from scratch using his box thingy. At least it can be saved. 25 bucks for it tho :v
After this show I really don't feel like paying $25 more in case I end up bricking this thing again. Anyone who has successfully managed to root the phone, please tell me how you did.
Reminder: Model is SM-A217M/DS and is running Android 12

We do not allow multiple posts on the same topic, therefore I have moved your post into this thread.
Additionally, do not use profanity on XDA.
Assuming you've already unlocked your bootloader, the easiest way would be to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, then install Magisk in the custom recovery.
However, seeing as TWRP is not available for the A21S, you'd want to patch the AP.tar file in Magisk, then flash in Odin. See the official Magisk installation guide here.

I thought it was fine since it auto-censors but alright
also it says here that using magisk here will "trip" knox. what does this mean exactly?
Sorry if it's a newbie question (I am a noob still )

Modified binaries trip Knox. Don't worry about it
steps 4 and 9 are a bit confusing, what is boot ramdisk and how do I know if my device has it
sorry again, I really don't wanna screw this up. I'm thin on money and gotta pay for important stuff this week

Check in magisk app
Tripping know simply disables samsung pay, secure folder, and a few other apps. It has probobly already been tripped when you tried to boot. A lot of this can be fixed by modules and such after getting root. Tripping knox persists even after going stock though.
Read xda’s guide.

Need help so lost try to make it as short as possible.
Phone Info:
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Verizon
- Model SCH-I545
- Build JSS15J.I545VRUEMK2
- Android 4.3
Ok, I tried Rooting my Phone and I use the Soft Root that was linked by someone on the forums. Gave me SuperUser Icon and used a app that checks to see if its Rooted and said it was. Now tried using some Root app's like GameCih and it tells me I need Root Admin or Root Privileges, something to that nature, and cant use the app. Iv been trying to remove that Soft Root but cant Figure it out. Used Odin3 and redid that .tar file for my Build. All when good and got everything the same as a fresh phone, but booting up still has the Pad Lock Icon and Custom logo on it and SuperU Icon. So I cant seem to unroot it, Tried to use the I545ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL posted on these forums but cant get it to working.
So what I need so to get this unrooted and back to factory default, and Rooted the right way, with I545ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL??. Please Help

That is what I used is the Saferoot, wasnt sure of the name, but just looked it up and thats what i have on my pc. Also I dont know how to flash it.. do I use the same Odin3 program for that? or is there another method.(Also is the Full wipe a different tar file?)
Edit: Ok I got it Flashed and back to stock now is there anything other then SafeRoot? that did not work the first time I tried it.

There are a few other methods...but I don't know them...I do know the other methods safety and security was questionable... Hence saferoot was made by trusted devs here...it should work...all the posts I have seen said they got successful root...did you open the supersu app that was installed and allow it to update binaries?... That is a very important step...if you did then make sure if you try this method again you follow each step it tells you...I don't know exactly how the process goes as I'm on4.2.2 and have to use the all in one tool for root...good luck...if it doesn't work hopefully someone who can help will chime in

Nope, I have no idea what these applications do, but a quick search on the forums basically leads to the conclusion that they're not ready for 4.3.
Given the build you're running, you're stuck with SELinux Enforcing since you can't replace the kernel. You'll need to find something else to do whatever you're trying to do.

Hi, I am Asbaat and this is my first post in this forum. Actually I've heard a lot about this forum and also whenever I had any question about a mobile or a tablet, this site was the best. Ok, the story starts 2 years back when galaxy s3 was just launched and I got my garnet Red phone from France. It was awesome and like everybody knows, after some time, galaxy laggs, stucks, bla bla bla. Same happened with me. I heard that rooting it and installing some files helps speed it up just like jailbreaking an iOS device. I searched some sites and got Odin and a custom recovery (something like that) I followed the instructions carefully and the rooting process started. But the rooting didn't complete properly and the phone turned off and Odin crashed. Now I have supersu and clockwerk(something like that) installed on my mobile but root checker says that the phone is not rooted. They do not uninstall and super su when opened says that binary not installed. when I click ok, the app closes. I am completely helpless and I seek your help so can any technician help me about it. I want to either root it completely or either unroot it completely, Im stuck in the middle. Thanks, I just made my account on this forum so I don't know whether I posted it in the right section. This seemed fine to me. Thanks a lot!

Boot to recovery, go to install zip, navigate to where you downloaded to it. usually sdcard/download and choose it to install. go back to main menu and choose reboot to finish then try reloading super su.

HEY BRO! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I OWE YOU A LOT!!!! MMMMUUUUAAAHHHHH!!!! :highfive::highfive::highfive: ok here's what I did as if other people have this problem, they might be able to solve it.
I flashed that super su update thingy you said. It made the supersu problem fine. It downloaded an update, then I uninstalled it and finished the root completely, (This made my device unrooted). Then I again rooted it by a website, used Odin and WOALA! IT WORKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! MAN!!!!!!!
Hey guys, I've recently come across a VZW GS4 and I'm stuck on rooting. I know nothing about Samsung phones so this is pretty new to me. I tried towelroot and it was not sucessfull even after entering the different codes. The picture below is of the "About phone" section in settings. If you could just point me in the direction of a thread that would help me or let me know what do you, I'd really appreciate it.

How do I flash in ODIN? Just the same place as the NC5, under AP?
EDIT: Okay so not in ODIN. Like I said, I know nothing about Samsung devices. Seeing as how it is a .zip file I assume I need to flash it in a recovery on the phone. I jumped to conclusions with the wifi fix so I am now going to actually look up the proper way to apply it.

Is safestrap just the stock recovery or is it a custom like TWRP or CWM? And another thing, whenever flash an old firmware so I can root, it doesn't seem to actually change. I'm still at NK4 every time I change it. You know what I'm doing wrong? I've looked into a few different posts nothing is working. I've tried towelroot and Kingo.
And I suppose I should actually address your reply instead of just going on a tangent, I did and it put the phone in a bootloop and I have yet to address that. I just reflashed NK1 deal with it for the moment.

That is the thread I've been looking at most actually. But I just can't catch a break. Every time I try to download the files I want, my G3 fails instantly and my friends Wi-Fi just won't download at all. I think I now know an even better reason to why I've never bothered getting a Samsung haha.
I first want to say this was not done for illegal purposes whatsoever nor do I agree with that crap. With that being said my mother forgot her password and username and didn't realize the importance paying attention to her back up password or username to recover her first one. Anyway the model is SM-G930P what the bootloader level 6 from the update that just recently occurred. BRD2 I believe. Anyway, I have to go to work soon but I just was able to bypass it and get her back into her phone very quickly and easily and I didn't know of anyone had post it on here yet so I wanted to do it quickly I can give him better tutorial after work.
How to do it:
Put your S7 in download mode with power home button and volume down. Google Flash Galaxy S7 SM-G930P s boot file. It will send you to a sm-g930f file don't worry it still works and is the one I used. So download that file its S7 g930f_king$ that's what shows up on my computer after I download it. Anyway open up Odin 3.12 Princecosmy and Flash that as boot file or image file under your bootloader or BL section of Odin and let it do anything quickly and it will pass and reboot. And when it boots back up to your surprise I'm sure because it was mine also it was able to connect and find ADB so I was able to run my GSM flasher FRP reactivation lock remover Pro and as long as you're Samsung drivers are installed it will pick it up on its port number. Click on the bypass FRP tab which is the one on the right of the two go down and click bypass FRP and boom you're done. So in conclusion get to export file from Kingsfirmware.com and search flash galaxy s7 sm-g930p and it will take you to sm-g930f flash. Download the sboot file s7 g930f_king$. Flash it via Odin under BL tab. Let it pass and reboot the run GSM Flasher YEP Reactivation Lock Remover Pro and under the Bypass FRP tab click Bypass FRP towards bottom and kick back!! Boom done.

This will also root your phone!

Yes I would also like some more imfo on this because if this is true, you may have just solved the whole bootloader crap by accident. Will certainly be watching this!

I already got it rooted I will be posting a tutorial later on today but he is right though, I also rooted using the 2017 eng boot along with the root.bat file, getting major lag and battery drain although I have fixed the lag mostly by using the fixes posted by similar root methods.

Where in that post did it say that process would give you root? It was just to bypass frp. Not one mention of it giving you root. Maybe you need to re read it.

Sure, I look stupid because of someone's inaccurate edit. What part of that process did you think was going to give you root??? Maybe you should rethink your Android experience. That should have said "will allow you to root with previous methods". Anyone can see. But go ahead and wonder why it didn't.

sigh, this is my last post on the matter since I am here to share and learn not bash anyone, you replied to my message hoping to gain what? why did you not quote the OP and ask him to clarify just as I did in case you missed that aswell. you are the one who made the mistake not me he did not say that you would need to use previous/other methods + this to get root he said this will give you root so why would I assume i would need to do anything else, I did get my phone rooted using a part of his method but he did not state that a part of it will give you root he said "it will give you root" so anyone would think that nothing else would be needed since it is entirely possible that the FRP unlock could have rooted the phone in the process of unlocking and if you dont know that then you again need to rethink your android experience.
lol how tha hell do you know what it should have said..... I am done here.:laugh::laugh:

Flash this file instead. Nougat_S7_Flat_EngBoot.tar.md5.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767149794
***UPDATE***
To anyone who comes across this, I fixed the issue by following a guide by @AddictedA1 on this post . Note that your case might be different as in you might be locked out of device and unable to change OEM lock from settings. This was the case with me so I just follwed the FRP/Knox bypass guide, accessed settings, enabled OEM unlocking and the proceeded with the above guide.
If you have any questions then just message me.

So today we were given Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lites by our state government for promoting technology in the state (elections in a few months go figure).
The issue was that it comes with knox which has government agency as the admin.
I tried rooting by flashing magisk flashed AP following this guide (for samsung galaxy tab A7) but now after startup it asks me to connect to the Internet and, runs a few checks and says "cant create work profile because security policy prevents this on a custom os".
It's just stuck at that message and can't get out of there.
I've never had any Samsung device before so I might be doing something wrong. Any help on how to get out of this is appreciated. Thanks
Well. I faced the same problem. After hours of hit and trail i finally managed to atleast boot back to my previous state i.e Yogi Ji's pic
Solution : I just relocked my bootloader via Download Mode and Flashed latest Firmware ( September Build ) with ODIN Tool. Untill some new development i.e custom ROMs for this device comes i think we are stuck with this lol

Tried doing it that's what tripped knox for me unfortunately
I have tried flashing after patching the AP file with magisk and it still didn't work.
It's knox which is the issue. It'll only work If someone can remove knox successfully and please update here if you do so. Thanks

The Knox app only stop booting if it detects that bootloader was unlocked or somtheing of similar nature. You can go back to your old state by relocking and flashing stock fw.
i made a quick guide, hope it helps
FIX - "Can't create work profile because policy prevents custom OS"
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite was distributed by our state government for promoting technology in the state. (JUST ELECTION THINGS) Anyways, the Tabs are coming with Samsung Knox security which cannot be uninstalled, disabled, debloated with adb...
forum.xda-developers.com
Somebody get help or asked some experience in XDA to make a TWRP port for this device or else forget privacy in this.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED KNOX FROM SAMSUNG OS AND WITH NEW WALLAPER LOOKS HEAVEN )))))
