Hi, I have just recently rooted my samsung note 10+, but after rooting the internal storage of my phone went down from 516gb to only 32gb? I have factory reset my phone but my root is gone after rebooting, but the internal storage went back up to 516gb. Is there any solution to this? as I am fairly new to rooting

Did you ever solve this issue? I cannot get Magisk to enable, whenever I keep holding the volume up and the side key I boot into normal recovery. I let it go always at splash, even tried holding it different intervals.

edit: I solved it by just flashing the patched AP file with Magisk again, weird, but worked. First time held the two buttons to boot to stock recovery, where it said there was an error and it didn't detect anything to boot, and from there I wiped the data and did a factory reset. Then it just worked. Don't even need to do the button combo, just works.

Yes, thanks, but every time I reboot, I have to connect the usb cable to the PC to get the root mode.
I hardly ever reboot!

To clarify for those seeing this post in the future and having issues, on Android 12 and up here are the steps to follow, as the first post is very outdated:

1) Follow the first post and do everything he says up to flashing the Magisk-patched firmware with Odin

2) First time you boot after flashing the Magisk patched firmware you need to hold the two combo buttons (Bixby+Vol Up) to boot to stock recovery, where it will say there was an error and it didn't detect anything to boot, and from there wipe the data and do a factory reset. If you don't see that screen, hold down the two combo buttons to force your phone off and try again, and if you continue to not see it you can try re-flashing your phone.

3) After wiping the data and doing factory reset, reboot your phone and install Magisk Manager apk. If after another reboot you still don't have root in the Magisk Manager showing up, just re-flash the Magisk patched firmware and try again from step 2. Sometimes takes a few tries, I don't know why. I think it's kind of glitchy now, with Magisk and recovery being in the same place.

4) If Magisk works after doing the factory reset, you DON'T ever need to do the button combo again, whenever you restart your phone Magisk will be enabled. However now on Android 12 and up it is very difficult to access the base, actual recovery menu. I personally have never been able to, even in Magisk manager app clicking to Reboot to Recovery will not work. You can try using adb, and the adb command "reboot recovery" if you need to access recovery, but I personally have never needed to access recovery once Magisk started working.
edit: Continually booting and holding down ONLY VolUp button can get you into stock recovery, if it doesn't work just keep restarting your phone until it does.

5) Xposed installation in the first post doesn't work anymore and is outdated, modern modules use Magisk with Zygysk. Instead you can flash LSPosed on Magisk if you want an equivalent to Xposed. Also use Fox's Mmm Magisk module manager to download and install Magisk modules, since the Magisk app itself no longer updates repositories.

Ps. never made it through the first few pages thanks funny how the world works. Been since note 4 for me, still got the same process sorta. Reading carefully is always a good tip for this stuff thanks again, just some of these threads get deep fast.

Good luck rooting. It's pretty buggy getting it to work, but once it works the first time it will be stable.
 
Can somebody please help me with an answer to my question.

Context:

I followed this tutorial a while ago for my Galaxy Note 10+ and I managed to get root with Magisk without installing TWRP.
However, recently I have lost root and am not sure how to get it back without factory resetting.
I am worried about losing all my data and everything I have done on my phone.

Details:
Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975F Exynos (Australia, Optus) N975FXXU6DTJ4_N975FOXM6DTK1_OPS
Bootloader is already unlocked and used to have Magisk root but lost it.
Running on factory ROM.
Android 10.
If any more info is needed please feel free to ask.

Question:

I was wondering what the steps are to restore root without having to install or use TWRP and without having to factory reset/wipe data because I don't want to lose all the work I have done to get everything the way I like it.

Try doing the button combo a few times with it plugged into the PC or USB-C headphones. If that still doesn't work than need to lose everything and reflash it.

With this model of NOte 10, be sure to take backups at least monthly of all your apps, etc., as this is a very sketchy way to get root and this issue happens to me too like every few months. Might be worth it to upgrade to a S22 Ultra or Note 20.

Thank you for that info, I did the button combo a few more times and it finally worked again.
I will defs make sure to do more frequent backups now that I know how sketch it can be.
I have never had a problem with the root since doing it which was probs like 3-5 years ago so I was surprised when it stopped working for no reason.
But anyways again, thanks for the help :D

Sorry if this has already been answered, but does this work for both the international 4G and 5G variants? SM-N975F/DS and SM-N976F

And Is flashing the patched stock firmware necessary if you're just going to install a custom firmware like LineageOS? Can you just unlock bootloader then flash custom firmware?

Also I'm not totally clear on this guide. Do we need to do BOTH steps 1 and 2 regardless? Or is it just one or the other? I basically want TWRP, LineageOS, and Magisk root. So should I only do Step 2?

    How to Root Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ & Flash TWRP (Exynos Only)

    NOTICE :

    Before you move further, make clear that rooting device -
    - Your warranty will be void
    - Some of functions may not work on rooted device, some function may get back with un rooting, some may never.
    - All your data on device will be lost
    - Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually soft but can be hard brick too) your device, so follow it on your own risk!

    If you are ready with condition, move further -

    Important : Since android Q, there is changes in rooting process, specially if you needs root with TWRP, So here I am dividing this guide in two parts.

    1.Root with self preparing files (No TWRP) - Here you needs to patch stock files yourself. No TWRP installed.
    2.Root with TWRP - You needs to just flash pre-patched files, Here you needs to have ROM installed same base as per files available. Though mostly latest verson will be available.

    PART 1 : (Root Pie/Q base with magisk with patching files yourself, No TWRP)

    Before moving to root device, must read every single instruction given below as any small mistake can lead to fail to achieve root or may brick the device.

    A.Preparing Root files

    You need to patch file to flash using Odin to root device.
    1. Download stock firmware for your device (google search will give you many sites to download it) some common are e.g. Sammobile, Samfirmware tool)
    you need to download file according your region and model (Dial *#1234# will give you details of existing firmware, download accordingly)

    2. Once you finish download, extract files and keep all files on PC. From extracted files a file with name AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 copy to your device.

    3.Download Latest Magisk Manager and Install to your device

    4.Open Magisk Manager - Magisk (first one) - Install - select to "Select and Patch file" - Navigate file you have copied to device (AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5)

    5.Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar

    6.Copy patched file magisk_patched.tar to Your PC

    7.Download latest Odin (one is attached to end of this post) and extract to a folder on PC (I recommend on desktop)

    Now next step is to modification on device

    B. Unlocking Bootloader

    This is a basic step to root device. Go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
    Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it.

    (PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!)

    Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
    To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
    When device start to download mode,long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot

    Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
    If it is not then you can not root device!

    Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device

    C.Installation (Flashing) custom binaries

    1. Switch off the device and reboot to download mode (As said earlier) and select volume up to continue

    2. Open Odin (downloaded from above instruction) as administrator
    Select magisk_patched.tar file you have patched (as above instruction copied to PC) for AP tab of Odin
    Select BL,CP and CSC file (Extract from stock firmware you have downloaded) with according respective tab of Odin (This is important, DON'T flash only magisk_patched.tar )

    3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option

    4.Now start flashing and wait till it finish. When you see a PASS sign on Odin, disconnect device.

    Now magisk is successfully finished but yet you need to follow instructions below.

    D. Factory reset & Boot with magisk

    After disconnecting device, keep holding Vol down + Side key to exit from download mode.
    Here is very important - when you see device reboot As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Volume Up + Side Key to boot to recovery partition. continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.

    In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
    Select Reboot system now, and immediately press Volume Up + Side Key. After seeing the bootloader warning screen, release all buttons so it can boot to the system.

    The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, manually install the APK you downloaded and continue to the next step. The app would be a stub and it shall automatically upgrade to the full Magisk Manager when you open it.

    Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device.

    Voila! Enjoy Magisk :)



    PART 2 : (Root Q base with TWRP)

    This requires to have your device on same base as per base of pre-patch files. I am giving link below of my ROM

    http://www.mediafire.com/folder/d4ugie4yadxu6/N975F - Click link - First select your device (N970/N975/N976) - download file Instructions_Root_TWRP_BootloopFix.pdf

    This file have complete details about how to root with stock recovery/TWRP. Also all required patched files will be available in "Q" folder of your device section,
    Also "Q" folder have file BASE_N97*.txt - Name of this file indicates Model and base used for patched files, you should have same base installed.




    Important :

    Due to the fact that some devices no longer uses ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to boot to recovery every time if you want Magisk. Since both Magisk and recovery lives in the same partition, what you actually end up getting when you choose to boot to recovery will be determined by how long you press volume up.

    • (Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
    • (OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
    • (OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)

    Happy rooting!


    Xposed

    Just tried and eDxposed working fine.
    - Install EdXposed installer
    - from magisk download install Ritu-core module
    - from magisk download install Ritu - EDxposed (yahfa)

    Done.

    We strongly recommend to make EFS backup as soon as you root device and store it to safer place

    Don't you lose some Samsung function when you root and even relock the bootloader?
    Who cares?
    Development can't go without this.
    We developer need to risk it. No way.

    Here is Root files available to Root N975F Android 10 Beta1

    I have updated OP with possibilities of
    - Root Pie/Q with self patching
    - Root Q with or without TWRP with pre-patched files.


    Hope this help users.
