To those wo have trouble to root their phones!

Try to use a command line lz4 tool, to extract the boot.img from boot.img.lz4. I tried before with 7Zip and it didn't worked. After I tried a command line tool, even the sizes of the boot images were different. This did the trick for me :)

best regards

I'm sorry. I also flashed the complete downloaded firmware(all files) before I extracted the boot.img.lz4 from it. maybe thats why it worked?
maybe 4 or 5 attempts with different patched img but i never make it hahaha :D of course i also flashed complete downloaded firmware after and wait 7 days between each attempt.

Thanks OP... it worked on my A605FN.
I was unable to patch the boot image in Magisk Manager as it returned error.
I tried your tool and it patched.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just flash the last Asphyx twrp build, and then flash magisk from twrp?

Hello. I am having an issue getting my oem unlock option back. I have followed every tutorial that I could find trying to get rmm back to normal status and have had my a600t1 on for 39 days nonstop. If anyone could give advice or just point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance for any help

Just share I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy A6 2018 SM-A600G Android 9 Pie with Magiskm you can watch this video https://youtu.be/1y1p7-Hzm_o
for rooting it, I have to install Magisk twice, one for prevent boot loop after install TWRP and second for rooting after install MagiskManager.
