How To Guide SM-F926B ONLY!! Android 12 update and ROOT GUIDE - BVA9 rooted firmware provided - if you missed the good news, camera works :)

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

Try to flash the newest stock firmware , maybe that will fix the issue.
And wait for the Pro's to help with the new "coming soon" rooting steps , files and guide.

what is really strange is that I managed to root the phone the first time,
then upgrading to BUL8 I started having this problem and now I can't go
back to BUL6 rooted stock rom because it gives me the same problem.
I hope @exocetdj and the other pros will come up with some sort of solution.

Is it safe to direct install v24 magisk? I tried earlier with a different magisk build and it put me into a bootloop, lucky my data was intact and I just refreshed in odin

yes

Also TO ALL USERS BVA9 rooted stock firmware has been uploaded and is now in testing

I have messed up bluetooth in the firmware but will provide a TWRP flashable zip to fix that (just flash after Magisk when updating to BVA9) - this is folder reset v1.1 and installs the stock bluetooth lib

This issue will only rear its head if you are trying to connect watch but that works perfect when the fix is flashed

I could upload a new firmware but with 20mb ADSL internet, im sure you guys will allow me to not have to do that and just flash a quick zip instead

 

[exocetdj]

Ok turns out the fix was crap lol

Anyway - reuploaded and fixed thanks to @abun880007 Please see first post for BVA9 rooted firmware

Update process is the same

Hello. Just installed your BVA9. Perfect. It didnt repair my problems with Samsung Gallery crashing when i want to share a picture in another app. But i use Google photo to do that instead.

Question: do you know a module to install or an apk that offers like you have in your Magisk Rom "custom power app with several reboot options" ? . The ones i have tested are not compatable with A12 yet.
Thanks a lot for these rooted methods

You are wanting to use a rooted A12 version right ?
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked ? Have you Activated in settings "oem unlock" and then the first time you were in download mode have held volume up 7 seconds to confirm the unlock ?
Anyways following exactly @exocetdj procedure must work...unless its not the same phone model.

Can you re flash the original stock files to go back to original state ?

I have the same problem with the Gallery, also, when trying to send an image or a video in Telegram I get an error and when using Sync I cant watch videos and images. Maybe it has something to do with storage permission.

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.

 

[exocetdj]

But lets be clear - TWRP is still fundamental for rooting

 

[白い熊]

It's actually good for other things, like rescuing a Samsung blocked system too… So it's better to have it flashed than stock.

You just need stock recovery to format /data after rooting, so that it's encrypted and Dex and sharing and stuff works…

After this I prefer flashing TWRP and staying with it – you just can't format /data from TWRP, since it'll remove encryption, and thus break Dex, sharing etc.

Nice procedure, I'll try it. Just need to downoad stock BV9 and to reinstall the whole thing

If You reinstall TWRP over the stock recovery to get Encryption again, will you be able to flash packages for example ? I guess it won't be possible becaise TWRP cannot access encrypted volume. .Am i right ?

 

[白い熊]

Not possible.

 

[frwerewolf]

Not possible.

OK thanks
