How to Root Samsung Galaxy M23 5G using Magisk Without TWRP
Easy tutorial to Root Samsung Galaxy M23 5G SM-M236B/DS in easy steps using Magisk. For rooting, you we have described Magisk method, without installing TWRP.
I recently bought an M23 5g, had a Moto g7 plus. I've never had a Samsung cell phone before. I don't know what happens to the phone after rooting. I saw that on other Samsung smartphones, because of the Knox protection, some apps and features stop working, so I was in doubt about the fingerprint, as it has the Knox logo when unlocking it. Can someone who rooted the M23 5g tell me if it continues to work normally the fingerprint? What other functions does it miss?
i don't have M23 but i have another samsung, i can tell you my experience. After flashing Magisk, you'll need to wipe you data (knox **** will block your phone otherwise), i didn't lost any features, except Payment apps, and fingerprint work. Don't worry your phone will work normally if you root it
I came back here to tell my experience rooting the M23 5g. Yes, the fingerprint works great with the root and face unlock too, but some apps of Samsung dont work anymore like: Samsung pay/wallet, secure folder, health and all other's. So i find a module Lsposed called: Knox Patch. With this module, only samsung pass and pay dont became to work, other work great. The bank apps i recomend use magisk module call shamiko, all my bank apps work with this, but you will need put the apps on negation list of magisk before and resetart the smartphone. Puting google wallet on magisk negation list you can use this app and dont need anymore the samsung pay. So, the unic apps you realy lose with the root is the samsung pass.i don't have M23 but i have another samsung, i can tell you my experience. After flashing Magisk, you'll need to wipe you data (knox **** will block your phone otherwise), i didn't lost any features, except Payment apps, and fingerprint work. Don't worry your phone will work normally if you root it
OBS: For me, when i'm installing the root file on ODIN, the M23 dont boot without factory reset. I have a botloop and stuck at screen with factory reset option, after the reset magisk app apper for me normaly and work's great, so remember backup your files before rooting.
For all user's.
the price for this one is nice for its specs, considering to buy it and install TWRP and some custom rom like lineageos or something, can I pm anyone who did it?
Found some great tools for generating device trees, I want to make sure flashing TWRP, and/or Lineage OS is possible before buying this phone (In my case the SM-M236B/DS). Can someone please try it out for me? Luckily it's based of the Snapdragon 750G 5G, so it should be easier than making a device tree for an Exynos. (thanks Samsung).
Here are the things I found:
Firmware:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-m23/firmware/#SM-M236B or
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-M236B
There is a database of already dumped device trees but I doubt there is a device tree for SM-M236B/DS
https://dumps.tadiphone.dev/dumps
You could always try to download it straight from Samsung, but I don't know how to do that.
Tutorials:
Found this really easy to follow tutorial about using Dumpyara a device tree dumping tool.
https://baalajimaestro.me/posts/extract-vendor-2/
TWRP build guides, this is the best guide I found, kind of complicated but still realy useful
https://gist.github.com/rokibhasansagar/15c8e728d94a6bd35a687aac73ef79a5
Haven't found any Lineage OS build guides for unsupported devices but I've found a build guide for /e/ os, it should be similar (/e/ os is based of Lineage). (if you find one pleaaase tell me)

I was interested to get one for aosp developments, but idk if it has an active developments
I am developing LineageOS for the M23. If you have knowledge and are willing to help me out, send me a dm and I'll send you details
make a patched magisk boot image and flash it. Then flash vbmeta_disabled. Lastly, go to lineage recovery and wipe data and fastboot flash the GSI.

Where i can get vbmeta disabler? And how I can flash this via fastboot? Through TWRP?
Okay so i succesfully flashed crDroid gsi. Here is a tutorial:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Using Odin flash a13_5g_fastbootd-recovery.tar
in AP slot in odin
3. After restart immediately go to recovery and you should see option "enter fastboot", select this and your phone should go into fastbootd mode
4. Now launch fastboot on your PC type fastboot devices if it shows your device that's good.
5. Copy your gsi to adb/fastboot directory and type: fastboot flash system <name of gsi>.IMG
Now flashing should start.
If flashing complete succesfully FIRST go to recovery and select FORMAT DATA. After data is formatted reboot your phone.
Now your phone should boot up with your gsi tom.
