[leonardo07746]

This is the Method how i Root my Galaxy A12 .
This method is very easy if you take your time. THIS WILL ALSO WIPE YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE OR SD CARD DAMAGE.

BEFORE PROCEEDING, UNLOCK BOOTLOADER.

YOU CAN FIND THE FIRMWARE YOU NEED ON SAMMOBILE.

1. Download the firmware for your device.
2. Load Zarchiver from playstore.
3. Open Zarchiver and locate the firmware you downloaded.
4. Click on the firmware, a menu will appear at the bottom. You will then have option to extract.
5. Extract the firmware and you will have files..AP..BL..CP..CSC..and HOME_CSC. The only file we need is AP
6. Click on AP file and rename AP_A125FXX.md5 to AP_A125FXX.tar - so your just highlighting the file and removing md5 so it only says .tar at the end.
7. Once you have renamed AP file click and again you will be given the option to extract. Once extracted, locate boot.img.lz4
8. Then extract boot.img.lz4 leaving you with boot.img
9. You should have Magisk manager installed on device. Use Magisk to patch the boot.img. once patched locate magisk_patched.img and rename to boot.img
10. Return to Zarchiver locate the patched boot.img and compress to boot.tar.
11. Move compressed boot.tar to computer and rename to boot.img.tar
12. Put device in download mode, open Odin and put the boot.img.tar in AP and click start. Once odin says pass, your device will boot to stock recovery and you will have to do a factory reset so save anything you need before doing this.
13. Once Device boots - RE-install Magisk Manager and follow prompts.

Congatulations, Youre Rooted Now.

I need some decoding! I thought I unlicked my bootloader while in fastboot mode I entered: "fastboot getvar all" and I got a response of finished! or something along those lines. I downloaded adb & platform tools to execute commands through but none of the fastboot commands are recognized besides the one I just mentioned. I tried to unlock my bootloader by holding the volume buttons and plugging in my USB-C to my PC but all it does is show the percentage speed through to show its charging. When I hold power and vol.- & vol.+ it only gives me the download mode and exit option. The image I am attempting to flash as far as I'm concerned is correct. I extracted the AP file from the most recently updated firmware for my model (sm-a12xxxxxxxxx) and carrier then extracted the boot.lz4 image then patched it with Magisk and compressed it to a .tar file. Odin almost completely runs a pass then fails at the last second and gives me the output I posted with this post. What am I doing wrong and how do I unlock my bootloader? P.S. T-Mobile is my carrier.

How did you access fastboot mode?? I can't access mine at all, it will never load and there is no OEM unlock switch in developer settings while it tells me the boot.img.tar is unofficial

Odin gets stuck on "File analysis.." when I try to flash the boot.img.tar can anyone help me?

If you want to install TWRP later you need to patch the full ap file using delta magisk.
You could also take boot.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 into the same tar file and patch that with delta magisk
