Knox and counter, country specific, herein the Netherlands warranty isn't void by law.
Small update, the crashing hasn't happened in several days now. For some reason it seems it was the screenshot app I used causing it, or so I assume as after I stopped the crashes stopped. It's weird though as I've used it for so long and it's only now that it caused problems, and it hasn't updated since November so, -shrugs- Guess something about the newest Magisk didn't agree with it or something, I dunno.
In Step 8 of the instructions for Samsung it reads:
"Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do."
But PewPewK's instruction (#10) only mentions to flash AP. Should I only put the tar file in AP, and leave the BL, CP and CSC boxes untouched?
Can anyone please help me? @PewPewK
Edit: I found the solution

For me the @topjohnsw aka magisk worked better including that odin version, resulted in a no error flash.
The Patched D version of odin was any time of 8 fail end on modem.
Also adb pulling the magisk patched ap file seems a must, for me that tutorial was tye first full successfull flash, that's why I was redirecting there.
Yes, after root, Netflix is only presented in HD AND you'll need to sideline the APK OR use Magisk Manager to install a workaround (liboemcrypto).
And, finally, adding root will increment the Knox counter and, depending on your region/territory/country, you may also lose warranty eligibility.
Can anyone pls help me?
I am not succeeding using odin. It keeping failing at modem.bin
I've got the right firmware version for the June update, using oding 3.13.1_3B_PatcheD (tried the latest odin, and that failed too)
In Odin i keep the CP slot empty, while adding the patched tar file in AP, and the BL and CSC files that come with the firmware for my device (canada).
I will try pulling from adb, and will report the result soon

i want to flash the patch created by magisk when I load the AP in it.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/install.md
in # 7 method for samsung, topjohnwu writes "Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do." That is why i loaded BL AP and CSC files. I haven't gotten a chance to use the tablet but I feel as if pulling the patched tar file through adb might work. That is the only thing I didn't do exactly.
Above is the post before.
Following the post before yours worked for me perfectly, did That a few weeks before today (read all the md"s to be sure what I was doing)
Your linked guide does not mention corruption problems using mtp for copying files, where as topjohnwu writes about in the github .md
I did use mtp the first and ran into trouble with patched files, later I tried to adb pull them and flashed with other "mentioned" files, worked perfect. (note used latest official odin, the patchedD didn't work properly, again the Auth modem failure, even on full stock June firmware)
The other needed mentioned key combos to do so are well described in this thread in the tutorials.
For me the #7 was a must, and topjohnwu doesn't say stuff for nothing..
He's the W(s)u master..
So actually all the needed info could've be found here, and your link is confusing others, cause it is missing up to date info.
Please don't take it hard, but I rather follow a guide by topjohnwu then any other on rooting..

I have pulled the patched ap file created by magisk through adb, but the odin for mac (jOdin) fails to retrieve a PIT file. For the Odin on windows there isn't any prompt for a PIT file, and after searching through previous threads regarding it, people say it is not needed. However, jodin does not seem to want to start flashing without it. Would anyone here have the PIT file of Model number SM-T720? How i wish I had easy access to windows right now. I will try to get access to another machine in the meantime.
For the life of me I can't get Odin 3.13.1 to recognize the device in download mode, not sure how to proceed. Different cables, different ports (2.0 and 3.0), different computers (Win 8.1, 10) I just keep getting Code 43 (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

Turns out all I had to do was just wait a few hours and it would magically start working... But now I have a new issue. Odin fails due to missing modem file since the Canadian version is wifi only and I'm scared to flash the AUS modem.
John Wu's instructions from here say you have to add files for BL, AP, CP and CSC right? Also my tar doesn't look like your screenshot. Did you manually remove the .lz4 files that were in it, and are flashing it by itself (so only AP checked in Odin)?
I understand the instructions you're referring to but see the following post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79547905&postcount=18
This is what many of us have been using as a template.
And yes, you are correct. I removed several files and only flashed the requisite files via Odin using the AP slot.
I'm including a before and after screenshot to elaborate.

Yeah, sure. I wrote this in an e-mail to someone who messaged me regarding rooting the Tab S5e, but it's a tad bit old. Regardless, I'll paste it verbatim here:
I updated a few steps that have changed since writing that up originally. Since the Tab S5e hasn't seen a software update yet, I'll also upload my (hopefully) working copy of the flashable patched_magisk_boot.tar that you can flash in the AP slot in Odin. No guarantees it works, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't. In theory, you should be able to skip several steps above and simply OEM (bootloader) unlock the device, then flash this in Odin.
Also important! Fundmentally, this version of root works very differently from what you may be used to. See here for detailed information. Normally root is installed onto the boot partition, but Samsung did some ****y stuff this generation to be "compliant" with Google's new rules, but still do things in their own special way, so now to achieve root Magisk has to live on the recovery partition.
Magisk living on the recovery partition means that in order to boot with Magisk enabled, you have to boot into recovery. So to boot with root, hold power and vol up until you see the "bootloader is unlocked" warning screen, then release. If you hold Vol Up, you will be taken to recovery, which will boot the system partition with root enabled. Otherwise, your tablet will boot the system partition without root. So if you do not do this step, root will not work (i.e. you'll boot into system without Magisk).
Hope this helps you achieve root.8The first release of my guide is NOW available here:

If you are having difficulties, this guide is user-friendly and quite comprehensive. I will take questions there.
@MikeChannon - Can we close this thread please and thank you?4
