How To Guide Root the Galaxy Tab S7 FE (Works with A12)

[drishya10101]

Can you please provide the updated link for magisk? Seems like the link you provided is broken.

Have you tried freezing the bloatware apps with Titanium Backup located in the Play Store?

Thanks, why didn't I think of that?

Hi,

I followed the instructions, but after flashing the Magisk Canary patched boot.img with Odin, I got a bootloop. So I flashed the original boot.img and the tablet worked again. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, I got stuck in a boot loop and tried flashing the original firmware but still can't get past the bootloop. Any ideas on what I can do?

 

[ThoBlu]

Prepare Odin with the untouched boot.bin in a .tar file. Disconnect the device from your pc. In bootloop press an hold the powerbutton for about 10 seconds and the tablet will shut down. Then press an hold volume up an down and connect the tablet to the pc. The tablet starts in download mode and you can flash the untouched boot.bin. After this, your tablet will start again.

@zriw It wasn't clear from the screenshots, but for the file patched by Magisk, did you rename this to boot.img? Once the file is named as boot.img, then you create the tar file as boot.img.7z. Now you should be to flash it again using Odin.

@imjizho It looks like you are not using a recent version of Magisk, as MagiskHide doesn't exist anymore. On the latest release, Zygisk needs to be enabled and then you can enforce and configure the DenyList.

For passing SafetyNet, the latest version of this module will do the job:

I managed to get a pass from Odin by using not only the AP file but the other files included when extracting the firmware as well. However, when my tablet reboots it doesn't erase to factory settings. I factory reset it manually and didn't get the error which is apparently supposed to show up that says I'm running unofficial samsung software. I also redownloaded magisk to see if it would prompt me to complete the root, but it didn't. The flash worked but didn't show up on my device, so how do I fix this?

I have tried rooting my tablet like 3 times now and i keep getting "this tablet is not running samsung official software". Could i pay someone to just do it for me lol

 

[derrickdroid]

I have noticed my Magisk app has a notification of an app update, can i update it and still have root?

Finally, I rooted my Tablet. New Magisk 24.1 works.

Happy rooting

I keep getting

<ID:0/009> RQT_CLOSE !!

And on the device it shows
Custom binary boot blocked by oem lock

 

[ThoBlu]

You forgot the OEM Unlock.

 

[discomilk]

I keep getting a bootloop saying my data partition is damaged, is there something I'm missing? Neutralized vbmeta? Something else maybe?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. That was all apart of the plan
Magisk up and running with root, thanks for the guide. next time I'll read each and every word

Thank you for the guide.
Using the instructions I have rooted my tab s7fe.

For those who were also confused like I was.

1. Use this to download firmware. Wifi S7FE in the states should be model Number SM-T733 and XAR for code.

2. Using Magisk 24.1 worked fine. Upon installation from Odin I hate to reset tablet again.

3. Opening magisk again I was prompted that magisk needed an update and would automatically reboot.

Clicking OK quickly updated magisk, and rebooted my device. (I did not have to uninstall / reinstall. Magisk seemed to figure it out on its own.)

@zriw Same! I did everything right and it still failed on me. Wonder what we did wrong​

 

[fred767676]

Thank you for the great HoTo. Everything works fantastic. Best regards fred.

 

[derrickdroid]

Can't seem to get Magisk to update through the app. Any suggestions?

 

[mrindependent]

I don't usually root my samsung devices but currently only have my pixel 6 pro and s21 Ultra which doesn't need to rooted and then I have this. I guess its just the nerd in me but it really bothers me that I dont have any devices rooted lol. I have a few questions for those who have rooted yours. first, if rooted do all of the Samsung features still work? Like the secure folder and all? Also, are there any real benefits in root ing this tab? Whey did you guys root and what magisk apps or root- only features do you use on this"special edition" tab ? I alway seem to buy the tablet that ends up getting the least amount of support or becomes obsolete or outdated the quickest. a traded in my tabs S5 e for this. So bummed there are no custom roms and I know that by now if there aren't any that s not a good sign... and that we don't have android 12 Yet...there is no reason for that. So far it seems like the extra letters (Fe) are just like the "a" they add to the pixels, etc. and its just like the cheaper version. Anyways thank you!

I have noticed a large increase in battery drain when the tablet is idle after rooting... I now have to turn off the tablet when I am done using it otherwise when I go to use it the following day it needs to be charged.

As of right now with no custom roms I'm not sure if rooting was even worth it because it hasn't changed the way I use the tablet. I am weary of doing any kind of modifications because we don't have a recovery and I have been out of the root game since the Samsung S4. So I'm not even sure what kind of things I could do with root access. I almost want to get rid of it and go back to stock so I can get updates from Samsung.

Is rooting android devices dieing or is it just Samsung devices?

 

[jac0b]

Does this work on the T-738U?

 

[ThoBlu]

Just follow the instructions and use Magisk 24.1 or 24.3.
