[17Jun20][Guide] [P/Q]How to root Note10/Note 10+ & Flash TWRP (Exynos only)

[Zaileion]

Ok. So I think I have it filtered down to a simpler process, that works with Magisk and TWRP. I think... It worked for me.

Android 11 (R)

Download the firmware, and extract as instructed in this OP
Download TWRP .img (not img.tar)
Copy the AP from the stock firmware to phone external SD card
Copy the TWRP .img file to the same folder on the phone.
Use Magisk to patch the AP file.
Use Magisk to patch the TWRP .img file
(be sure to not confuse the files above since they ae both similar in name.
Move both files back to computer.
If want to and you are using Windows, go to the file explorer and click view tab, options/change folder and search options, view tab, and remove check from "hide extensions of known file types" This will show the file extension and will assist in identifying the 2 different files)
Make a copy of the AP file so you have one as your original and a working copy.
Download and install 7zip. (winrar or similar doesn't work. I think only 7zip works, at least that's what I've found)
Open your working copy of the Magisk patched AP file with 7zip.
**These next few steps will take many minutes each step**
Delete the recovery.img from the archive. (**10 mins +/-**)
Rename the Magisk patched TWRP file to recovery.img (same as the name of the file you just deleted)
Copy the renamed Magisk TWRP file (Now recovery.img) into the archive (**10 mins +/-**)
Now you have the Magisk patched AP file with the Magisk patched TWRP recovery image file contained within.
Flash this AP file to your phone with Odin. I just flashed the AP file, but I had already flashed all the other things(BL, CP, CSC) previously.


Reboot with the button combo, and check Magisk to make sure the top one says its installed.
(I find that holding the power and vol up until the 3rd screen appears, well its pretty much the same screens just switching a little but you'll see it switch 3 times, as soon as you see the 3d one release. You have to have the USB cable connected which is a pain but as always Dr. Ketan rom comes trough and fixes this. It is a great ROM but missing all the fancy customizations.)


Then as a best practice... Make a TWRP backup of this stock root. Select Boot, Recovery, System Image, Product Image, Data, Baseband, EFS. This way if you mess up, or lose your IEMI you can always restore your stock root and start over. Some ROMS require stock before flashing and this make it easier to revert back to stock if you are switching ROMS.


EDIT: So something really strange happens when I do this above process.
My phone is a 256GB but when I do the above it changes the internal storage to 32GB.

Anyone know how to fix this?
or better yet, know how to root and install TWRP?

Do we have root with this method on android 12 ?

Same method - Patch AP file with magisk. Use magisk canary instead of stable to patch AP file
TWRP may available after Samsung release kernel Source code

I have Note 10+ , Processor are Snapdragon 855, So can i root with this method?

 

[ochipapa]

No it cant be rooted,they have locked bootloader

 

[ZXR]

It depends. SD devices from HK can be unlocked and rooted.

 

[Miladj78]

hi,this method is not working for android 12 even with magisk 24.1 stable,magisk is not detecting root anymore,dr.ketan could you check this method in android 12 using 24.1 magisk?

Is there any way to root N971N korean version? Bootloader has been unlocked but oem-unlocking option is gone!
P.S. android 12

P.S. i got to solve missing OEM option. just by connecting wireless conection after 1-2 min it appears

 

[nilofino]

I followed the instruction but no root access. instead it shows a Toost Notification says:
```
[PDP]
back-up : fail
setup-wizard [ FINISH ]
```
if I boot normally this msg wont show!
besides I can not boot to recovery menu at all. keeping whole time side + vol+ boots to system

P.S. Android 12

It works for me but I need to use this method:
turn off phone
connect a cable to a pc (using a hub!)
connect the cable to the phone
let it turns on (charging screen)
hold side key + vol+ till splach screen
release the keys.

this method detects root access? with magisk 24.1?

 

[nilofino]

Yeah. But I tried Canary Magisk!
but I need to connect it with a hub! if I connect it directly to the PC it wont work! Even I saw some people use this trick by using USB-C headphone!

 

[Miladj78]

so after flashing and wiping the data,you use

so in order to boot phone with magisk we should connect to a usb C headphone or to pc with a hub,then use power+vol down keys?

Miladj78 I sent you a private msg. plz check it.

I followed the instruction. but there was no magisk app.
I installed the app but there was no root.
then I restart the phone and noticed I can not boot to the recovery at all!
so I find a way to reboot to the recovery by connecting the cable to the pc.
SO: for gaining root access follow the structure to boot to the recovery but this time just hold buttons for a shorter duration.

I cant get my Note 10 into Download or Recovery Mode. I tried 2 different laptops, every usb port, with and without a hub.
All this happened after i patched the Android 12 AP with Magisk (Canary) and tried to update it and ended into a bricked device. After restoring to stock Android 12, i noticed that i have a Star Wars (?) Special firmware where i still could go into Download Mode (holding vol+ and vol- and connecting it to my pc) but after i restored it again with a normal firmware i cant get into either the download mode or the recovery menu. What i can try is to use a USB-C headphone but i dont know where i can find one since i dont know where my phone box is. Anyone with another idea how i can boot into download mode ?

Does anyone know if you can update Magisk from within the app, or do we have to flash a custom firmware each time?

I put my phone in a bootloop last year doing it from within the app but not sure if it's just because I did something wrong, or if it's just not possible on Note 10.

Edit: If you searched and found this, the answer is, "Yes", you can do it from within the app, just make sure you leave the Recovery option ticked on.

 

[nathlynn22]

What's best way to restore to stock. Or is the only way to flash the stock firmware?

 

[Rulesless]

With my Note 10+ the key combinations for Recovery and System with Magisk only work if the smartphone is connected to the PC via USB cable (with only the charger does not work).
In fact, I am literally went crazy to root it, before understanding this detail.
Does anyone know the reason and, more importantly, a solution that doesn’t force me to have a computer handy in case I have to reboot in root mode in mobility?

 

[s3korn]

when rooted OS is running, try to use the power button and chose shut down instead of restart. it should start with root again when phone will be turned on by power button.
