you need to keep phone connected to PC to boot into TWRP with the button combos - this has been a thing since android 11 so you probably missed the boat on the news if you were out the scene a while
How To Guide SM-F926B ONLY!! Android 12 update and ROOT GUIDE - BVA9 rooted firmware provided - if you missed the good news, camera works :)

I've been following that step - I just leave the cable connected after flashing in Odin. One time I tried unplugging, replugging then waiting. Windows 10 bootcamped on a Mbp, maybe the USB-C is an issue, I'll try all this on my desktop and let you know if there's any difference.you need to keep phone connected to PC to boot into TWRP with the button combos - this has been a thing since android 11 so you probably missed the boat on the news if you were out the scene a while
My Fold 3 just arrived and i want to root it.
I just updated it to the latest version Samsung offers me OTA. My AP ends with BUL6 is it okay to flash BUL8 over it?
I just don't get it what the last digits mean
EDIT: When i understand that right, BUL8 is just a newer build right? Maybe Samsung does not have released it now in Germany
EDIT2: Ok i just flashed the BUL8 over the BUL6 and it works

Okay so was about to come back again and say it didn't work on my desktop but I feel so stupid! Argh!
I noticed a bit of blue on the inside screen when I turned the device to hold vol up and down so I opened it (for the first time in all the time I've been trying, lol) and there it is, TWRP in all its glory, with the cover screen still just showing the Samsung logo.
It must have also booted to TWRP every single time I tried previously, I just stupidly never noticed because I never once thought to open the inside screen.
So there's a big tip - DO EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE FOLDING SCREEN, NOT THE COVER SCREEN!!
Rooted, followed the guide to the letter and it worked perfect, thanks so much exo!
TWRP unfortunately does not support the outer screen - annoying thing is that i was trying to install it properly for 4 days without realizing this on a11
Sorry but I need help with 2 issues before I root:
1.I have A11 Australian OPS/XSA CSC Fold 3 non rooted. Do I need to follow the same procedure and update to A12 and root using the rooted firmware provided.
2. Can I put Indian HomeCSC from the Indian Fold 3 firmware on my Australian fold 3. Will that be OK.

I updated to BUL8 Thanks a lot for this brilliant method. Everything is fine and working like before. Only the software version number has changed. Didnt loose or have to reconfigure anything. Top !!!
ps: by the way sharing from gallery app still doesnt work. Sharing works with any other app. But not with samsung gallery anymore.
Is there a way to remove gallery and reinstall it ? i didnt find how. The system doesnt let you desactivated or uninstall or install another version above
Hi all. Can't access the file to download. I've requested permission. Is there another link? Thanks.
I have a problem, I was already on BUL6 (rooted) and I wanted to upgrade to the last version BUL8,
but now I only get a white screen at first boot during first setup where it should ask for language etc.
After the last reboot (last step on the guide) the phone didn't boot to system but hang on the screen
with the alert sign, I had to force reboot pressing vol down + power and only then it booted with the
white screen.
I reverted to BUL6 but now I get the same problem, the only thing that works now is stock rom from
samfirm/frija, the rom is the last one avaiable with A12 F926BXXS1BUL8.
What did I do wrong? How can I fix this problem?
Thanks

sorry i have not seen or heard of this one - i'd backup data and apps and start fresh from stock and reroot
Hi, this is what I've already done, I started from stock but that's the only rom that is working right now.
If I try to install your stock rooted rom it gives me that white screen.
Is there a way to see if something is left inside the phone from the previous root?
Shouldn't be enough to flash the stock rom to start from scratch?
Hi, already done that, same problem, the only thing that remains untouch is the unlocked bootloader
but I don't think that's a problem, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

15Hi All!!
This thread will now contain pre rooted Odin files for F926B users to flash and update
Before you start, download "420rom_F926B_BVA9_Odin_EUY.zip" from HERE
THIS IS FOR F926B ONLY
The process requires knowledge of basic adb and YOU MUST HAVE ADB INSTALLED BEFORE TRYING THIS
This will no longer wipe data but it is advisable to backup first anyway - i wont be responsible for any data lost that could have been backed up
PROCESS to update from rooted a11 or a12
1 - Unzip the 4 odin files from the zip provided in the link above & connect phone to PC
2 - load ODIN on PC and disable AUTO Reboot - Next load BL.tar in BL, AP.tar in AP, Stock CP in CP and Stock HOMECSC in CSC
3 - Click start to flash the files - when completed, keeping phone connected to PC, press and hold power and volume down and as soon as the screen turns off, press and hold vol up and power UNTIL in TWRP
4 - Head to the TWRP mount menu disable MTP
5 - ONLY IF YOU DONT HAVE A MAGISK.ZIP ON INTERNAL STORAGE copy app-debug.zip to your adb folder and then open a command window and first confirm adb is working by typing adb devices you should see your device listed and "recovery" next to the device in command window - this means adb is working - type adb push app-debug.zip /sdcard this should send the app-debug.zip to internal storage (or sdcard if you prefer)
6 - go to the TWRP flash menu and you should see the app-debug.zip, flash it to root your A12 device - this needs to be done everytime TWRP is flashed in Odin it seems
7 - reboot to system from TWRP power menu
You will boot rooted, updated and with intact data if all the steps above are followed correctly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCESS IF COMING FROM STOCK A12
1 - Unzip the 4 odin files from the zip provided in the link above & connect phone to PC (please ensure dev settings are enabled and that you have unlocked bootloader and checked "Oem unlock" is faded out under dev settings)
2 - load ODIN on PC and disable AUTO Reboot - Next load BL.tar in BL, AP.tar in AP, Stock CP in CP and Stock HOMECSC in CSC
3 - Click start to flash the files - when completed, keeping phone connected to PC, press and hold power and volume down and as soon as the screen turns off, press and hold vol up and power UNTIL in TWRP
4 - Head to the TWRP wipe menu and format device (type yes and press enter) - then reboot TWRP
5 - when TWRP has rebooted, go to the mounts menu and disable MTP -> this will allow us to send app-debug.zip (magisk) to your sdcard
6 - copy app-debug.zip to your adb folder and then open a command window and first confirm adb is working by typing adb devices you should see your device listed and "recovery" next to the device in command window - this means adb is working
7 - type adb push app-debug.zip /sdcard this should send the app-debug.zip to internal storage (or sdcard if you prefer) - go to the TWRP flash menu and you should see this app-debug.zip, flash it to root your A12 device
8 - as stated previously, i have disabled encryption therefore we just need to boot STRAIGHT to SYSTEM from the TWRP POWER MENU
9 -When phone reboots, set up as normal and you should now see a magisk stub in the app drawer meaning you are rooted4
No – this has to do with decrypting /data – I've confirmed this on my setup – you won't be able to get it working after formatting /data in TWRP. BTW you will also not be able to use Dex on your setup like this. That's a gift from Samsung to us.
The only way to overcome this currently is like I have done:
- Follow @exocetdj guide up to and including flashing the Magisk apk in TWRP.
- From TWRP, reboot to Download mode.
- In Odin disable autoreboot and flash Stock recovery, you have to make a tar for this from the stock firmware AP, just keep the recovery file in the tar.
- Reboot to recovery via the key combo in the guide.
- In stock recovery now, format /data again - this will encrypt it.
Now reboot, you'll set up the system again and you'll have root, sharing will work, Dex will work etc.
However you won't have TWRP. It's possible to flash just the TWRP recovery again after this without formatting /data however without accessible /data it's mostly useless.4ok no progress on Dex today from my end - seems to be a commonn issue and @abun880007 reported an error message stating that dex wouldn't work due to a modded system
on a side note i have disabled WSM which means watch pairings remain on reboot - this was a fix in my rom already but module dependant meaning that watch pairings would go even if the module was disabled- thanks to @starbucks2010 for the wsm fix as always
ill upload a new firmware tonight with this fix and it has been based on BTB (no difference to MSR firmware as is OXM)4F926B users - rooted firmware is now here
This time round i have cooked in @Andrei1973 's WSM fix so no need for any modules to keep wearable pairings (cheers as always mate )
Rebased to BUL8 firmware and including A7 TWRP from IanMacD
Removed forrceencrypt and have also used df18bcf5 Magisk Alpha build (aka app-debug.zip) attached to this post for flashing in TWRP
Update procedure
1 reboot to download and load Odin
2 Load the Odin files and uncheck "Auto reboot"
3 Reboot straight to TWRP (remember the button combos!)
4 ONLY IF YOU HAVENT GOT MAGISK ON INTERNAL STORAGE - check that MTP is disabled and copy app-debug.zip to adb folder then in CMD window "adb push app-debug.zip /sdcard"
5 - Flash the app-debug.zip and then reboot to system from TWRP power menu
You will boot rooted, updated and with intact data if all the steps above are followed correctly3Killing the camera after unlocking the bootloader is a stupid and crappy move by Samsung.
I remember, oh so long ago, when Samsung actually supported us here on XDA, found quite a large number of things done by devs here suddenly appearing on their "next big thing", then they quietly withdrew their support and went over to the dark side of the Apple-verse.
