Flashing boot.img.tar in Odin...

[SB13X]

Hi all,

My first foray into Samsung modification has me wanting to install a patched Magisk boot.img through Odin. However I've never used the tool before and documentation for people new to Samsung with this device is thin on the ground as are any step by step YouTube videos for the latest ODIN for this purpose, so I have looked.

Which option do I use in ODIN to flash the patched_boot.img.tar through? Do I simply tap AP in the latest ODIN build and select the aforementioned image and then enter Download mode and hit Start? Or is there anything further I need to do to the patched_boot.img.tar?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You have to flash patched_boot.img.tar as AP in ODIN.

You have to flash patched_boot.img.tar as AP in ODIN.

Thankyou Unfortunately it didn't work and bootloops/hangs at boot. Have you managed to install Magisk with the new method?
