Can u upload a video or explain step by step to root this phoneAfter couple of tries and disappearing OEM Unlocking button, finally I was successful in rooting using the method from this post. It took me some time to master booting directly into recovery after flashing patched images using Odin!
Also, did not realized that you need to connect USB cable to PC and press volume up and down at same time to get the bootloader unlock option.
Thank You OP.
[GUIDE][ROOT]Galaxy M30S Bootloader Unlocking and Rooting Guide
- Thread starter santhoosh
- Start date
Can you describe your step in more details? Because I even wasn't able to get into Download mode using that instruction from the first post: after releasing VolUp+VolDown buttons (after "Samsung Galaxy M30s" text disappeared and short "SAMSUNG" appeared) -- got me only into "Safe mode".After couple of tries and disappearing OEM Unlocking button, finally I was successful in rooting using the method from this post. It took me some time to master booting directly into recovery after flashing patched images using Odin!
And yes -- with "adb reboot download" -- I can enter Download mode (mobli obviously still connected to the PC), but VolUp button does nothing there -- I've pressed it like for 20 seconds.
The trick to boot into download mode( With boot loader unlock option) is to connect USB cable to phone at same time you press VolumeUp+VolumeDown button, other wise it will boot into standard download mode or safe mode. Do not connect the phone before or after pressing these buttons combo, it must be at the same time and the phone must be in off state.
When phone boots into Bootloader unlock mode it should show screen like attached.
Hope it helps.:fingers-crossed:

The steps are exactly same as mentioned in first post (Method1) and for video you can refer to the below one of A50 posted on first page by @redymedan . Steps are exactly same except ROM and magisk version.

Which magisk version to install?
I used latest magisk version, i.e. 20.1. Use stable magisk manager from below thread.

Yeah but the download of this firmware is so slow I mean the website it giving less speed to download the file any another link?
And where are those ap files located is it in the firmware when we extract it sorry for so many questions I haven't rooted a samsung phone
I had one unsuccessful attempt to root. I downloaded another firmware. Fulfilled this instruction. Method 1. The process was successful. My phone is with a root. If it does not work on one firmware, you need to try another. Thanks to the author.
Was able to unlock bootloader at last! Another trick: it should be a "short press" for a Power button -- not the long-one -- as for Download mode.
I.e.: you need to press VolUp+VolDown -- then get ready USB cable -- to plug it in -- and then at the same moment press the Power button, plug-in the cable and release Power button. -- in the next second/or two same screen as attached-one should appear.
And now rooted.
But -- there is some strange issue with storage: Samsung Explorer says that Internal's SD size is 16GB -- before flashing it was 64.
And Root Explorer says that root volume has size about 4GB.
-- latest firmware was downloaded using SamFirm 0.3.6:

and it was patched with Magisk 20.1 on exactly this phone...

Flashed back original firmware -- I can see all 64GB again. So, it seems, there is something wrong with Magisk patcher...

SER-M307FNXXU1ASJ1 failed root attempt.
SER-M307FNXXU1ASHJ successful root attempt .
Nice to hear that Magisk v20.1 worked stable on M30s :good: but not for A50s ( random bootloop problem ) So I must use Magisk v19.3 for rooting A50s with Custom Channel Update.
Something strange happened to me while rooting I rooted the phone I was on setup the first setup that pop up at the fresh start of phone..it was talking long so I restarted the phone when I I restarted ..a black screen appeared that has red message (official binary to be flashed) and I got to Samsung store to recover my device in was not able to do anything on my phone not even to switch on download mode that cost me RS1500 to repair
Yes -- that's exactly how I did it: flashed "BL_*.tar.md5", "magisk_patched.tar", "CP_*.tar.md5" and "CSC_*.tar.md5"...
Will try again from the scratch tomorrow.
I will try rooting after week ! Thank you
I have a question
If I successfully rooted the phone. If there is an update for magisk can I update normally from magisk manger ? Or do I have to repeat the steps and patching the new magisk update to make it work ?
And if there is an official update for the phone from Samsung like the next security patch, can I update OTA aka wifi? Or do I have to do it manually using recovery?

Both Magisk "core" and Samsung firmware have to be updated using Odin. The only thing you can update "on the fly" --Magisk manager.
