[Magisk] Root for the Galaxy S10 Series

[bininga59]

So:
flash Odin -> closed bootloader -> open bootloader again -> flash twrp + kernel.. right?

The bootloader normally remains open. Unless you closed it. Odin: TWRP + vbmeta > Multidisabler > Custom-Kernel

I don't wanna lose OTA Update, so:
(open bootloader) rom+recovery stock -> custom kernel via odin.. might work?

Nope.

There is always something patched at Root. TWRP, AP or the kernel. How should the update work?

@bininga59 @tiho5 thanks guys! So no chance, or OTA or custom Kernel..

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm unable to update magisk in the new magisk update 22.0 , any help?

Update the manager fine by restoring manager to default, but magisk won't install, what options do I need to select?

Direct Install

Do I leave recovery mode unchecked or checked?

Direct Install

Thanks, that managed to work in the end,
Don't know why it didn't the first few times

there is no direct install with "recovery mode" checked and i have no root anymore. (rooted only with magisk, no twrp)

Coming from unrooted stock I think I followed the instruction (used Magisk 22.0) . But after loading firmware with Odin (patched AP and others) - I am in a bootloop. See this part of instruction:

• After Odin is done, your device should reboot. You may continue with standard initial setup.
  If you are stuck in a bootloop, agree to do a factory reset if promted.

But while in bootloop there is no question about wipe data! How to get out of this hell?
The only I get is back to download mode but there is question "Lock bootloader + factory reset" or "Don't lock and restart". Finally I go to "Recovery Mode" and did factory reset there to get out of bootloop. After a while Android starts. Magisk is away (because of factory reset). But after installing Magisk again it reports to have no RD installed. ?!?

Looking at the result of the magisk_patched...tar I see that only boot.img is changed. Isn't it just enough to flash this with heimdall? (In fact Odin is for me a bigger thing - don't have Windows. Does Odin works with Wine?)

Mh, after reading instructions again and again I found the problem. You can either call me stupid or one can think that instructions can have a slight improvement.
So what was problem: At beginning of manual there is mentioned that AFTER installing Magisk with Odin you might boot in a special way, via Recovery.
@topjohnwu: Wouldn't it be better to mentioned that in the line - after odin is done?
Additional it confuses me that nowaday USB cable has to be plugged in addition to the known pushing the Vol+ / Bixby / Power keys.

Finally I flashed a Magisk patched TWRP 3.5. Wow. Difficult for me, but how difficult is it for the dev. Great work!

Is this a known issue that Magisk doesn't boot recovery if requested? Is it something that can be solved in future? It would be much more comfortable than standard way of shutdown and Vol+/Bixby/Power.

One more thing: If I see this right - without a PC connected I don't have a chance to boot into Magisk enabled system?
That I think is a really bad thing. Just imaging you have a firewall running and your Phone does a reboot! You phone is not protected anymore.
Is there a chance to modify that logig?
Any way to reboot into Magisk-enabled mode?

I understand that the hack combining Magisk/recovery is required, but could it be solved another way around?

Any chance to revert the need of USB plugged for Recovery?
