the question is ... there is some process of customizing the device because even the oldest or most current there is only this cell phone that has nothing... rooting and continuing with the same custom is something superfluous !!
Development [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy A02s (Snapdragon)
- Thread starter afaneh92
- Start date
Cause this device have super partition and treble and in this case must be installed in the system partition without touching super partition.
Sorry for bother but, would be nice if you add an option to resize system and install gapps, I'm using a treble lineageOS ROM and there's no enough space for installing gapps, BTW the system is only mounted as read-only, please let it mount as -rw since that also doesn't let me install other gapps, all gapps type were flashed but no one installed since rw permissions, installing ROMs, magisk works great.
You downloaded a GSI build that doesn't meet device requirements imo based on what are you describing, download treble info and check what's the right package you must install, I've installed some GSI build using ARM_A64_bvs types which is the one that fits but I may be wrong and doing installs of wrong images however, hope it works for you.
I'll be patient waiting for it, thanks a lot and any help in you need from me, you just have to say it!
If possible I would like you to post how you did this process of installing a custom Room on this device...thanks
Yes
Using the TWRP in this OP, I realized apart from system partition, there's a vendor, product, odm, so in this case vbmeta must be forced disabled, in order to get TWRP working, just uncheck auto-reboot from Odin and flash vbmeta, reboot download mode again and flash TWRP, flash multidisabler zip, then install any GSI image, use treble info to check the imaged required for this device before flashing any file, backup with TWRP are well broken so download the stock ROM if any case everything goes wrong, don't update binary if there's one more recent, I'm using U2 bootloader.
As I've replied above to Koko7777, he should use a specific build for this device which you can pretty easily see in the quotes made by me by replies, in any case I tell you here you must use a ARM-A64-bvs image to successfully install any GSI Roms, but without touching super partition in TWRP, just system, select install> install IMG> select your GSI ROM, since there's no TWRP with resize option, you must use a systemless workaround for gapps and this is how magisk steps into, install magisk zip using TWRP and then update the magisk, then after download the MagicGapps, these gapps are hosted Sourceforge and then install them as a module in magisk and not at TWRP, you should be done with this, BTW I've was struggling with it since yesterday due that there's no guides for custom roms and some wiki's for GSI explain that us with this device should use a dedicated IMG for ARM32 WITH 64BIT BINDER AND A-ONLY but they seems to be wrongly labeled so this cause I lot of trouble but once you use the treble info app then it comes more easy.

Update: just followed instructions precisely, and my metro variant a025u now has fully working TWRP and is rooted. Worked beautifully for being a model with an alleged locked bootloader and not being a supported model as per OP.
so anyone out there with this particular metro variant, go for it!

Actually, no. I unlocked the U firmware... I don't know how it is that I did it, when it's supposed to be locked, I just turned on the oem unlock in dev options, turned off phone, booted using vol up + vol down + power app at the same time until download mode came up, long pressed vol up to go to bootloader unlock mode, hit yes, and it did it, wiped it, and told me it was a success.... I got the phone in May, and have never been able to do that before. The entire process from beginning to end was completely seamless and smooth. Everything did exactly as it was supposed to with no catches or snags... I'm really baffled, tbh. I've flashed countless phones before, including some with very very tricky and touchy processes, rooted just as many, but I've never had a supposedly locked bootloader just magically have an identity crisis and open like a whore's legs for a muscular millionaire and then firmware not specified for the device worked better for me than it had previously for people whose phones it was intended for...
I'm wondering what the magical combination of variables on my phone caused this delightful miracle...
If there is anything I can provide to you the way of logging or other info that you would like, I am happy to do so.
The only issue I've had at all since booting up and installing over 60 apps has been that BusyBox failed installing to xbin, so I just changed it to bin and worked fine... I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far, flawless....
in my case I tried to install a gsi arm32 binder 64 as explained in the info treblle but when it's time to restart it goes into infinite loop ..I tried several steps but it didn't work
Hi there! Newbie here. Is there any chance to make it work to root an A03s (SM-A037M)?
If there isn't, could you recomend me another way? I didn't find anything for this model searching the forum and I don't know how safe is to try methods intended for other A-series devices.
Thank you in advance!

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Code:* Your warranty is now void. * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
