How To Guide SM-F926B ONLY!! Android 12 update and ROOT GUIDE - BVA9 rooted firmware provided - if you missed the good news, camera works :)
- Thread starter exocetdj
- Start date
Just testing files made by @abun880007 that don't destroy data for AUI4 that should enable a seamless update to that firmware from AUHF - will link as soon as tested as they are uploaded
AUI4 FIRMWARE IS NOW UPDATED IN THE FIRST POST AND WILL NOT WIPE DATA 
Process to update coming from previous Firmware version
1 - Ensure any rom modules are removed (i.e if you are using my rom only)
2 - reboot to download mode and load the AP in AP slot, the BL in BL slot, CP in CP slot and HOMECSC in CSC slot in odin
3 - Very important: make sure auto reboot is unchecked in ODIN
4 - start the flash
5 - Exit download after flash and immediately hold vol up and power to enter TWRP recovery
6 - Reboot to system from TWRP Power menu - Your system should boot, optimize apps and then go to rooted system on AUI4 with TWRP installed (and data will be there also!!)

@Didgeridoohan hey man - i was wondering if there was anyway this thread could be made a sticky (if people find this thread useful??)
We now have a tested root process and also a seamless rooted update process

Generally we're pretty selective with what threads are made into a sticky... And with the flat forum layout that came with the move to XenForo it's easy to filter the type of thread you want to find by clicking the prefix tags at the top of the forum (How To Guide in this threads case), so the need for stickies is even less.@Didgeridoohan hey man - i was wondering if there was anyway this thread could be made a sticky (if people find this thread useful??)

So no, unfortunately, I won't be making this thread into a sticky at this time. Great to see the progress being made here though. Let's hope someone gets a workaround for the camera disabling thing released soon.
Fair comment there
was a passing query so no bother at all!
Yes there has been very very brief glimmers of hope but sadly nothing yet. I'm sure this forum will explode with action as soon as a fix is found or what apparently has been found already is finally released
ta muchly for your time
How are you guys using a modded rom without the native camera option?
Is there a Gcam or something that works ?

No, with unlocked bootloader (which is needed to flash custom ROM's/Root), the camera's are disabled. Period. No camera's at all. None.
At least, until someone figures out if it can be reversed, then HOW to reverse it.
Whilst (most of) us modders endure these long dark apocalyptic days of restrictions on devices we own placed on us by the Samsung God(desse)s whilst wondering what the hell we did in a former life to deserve this treatment. . . . 
Heres the AUJ7 rooted firmware to cheer you up made by my good friend @abun880007 - thanks for this mate!! - the link in the first post has been updated also.

Love what you wrote!
Thanks a ton.. Guess im gonna carry an iPhone with me, Just for the camera.
In case if I fall in love with the iPhone and make it my daily .. At least I can blame samsung for it.
Good morning all
Plan is to provide a way to flash A12/oneUI4 rooted beta once i have been provided an OTA file to be able to make the files etc
This will occur when someone has managed to send me the URL for the download or it lands in the UK

Is this the US varient. If not, is unlocking bootloader and rooting possible with the US varient.
you can debloat even without root tru ADB.
i have no root on my Fold 3 and debloated all the garbage apps from it, also the stupid Bixby etc.... text to speech and all
True, If bloatware are the only priority, then no need to root, I uninstall all using Adb Shell.
Here is the link for original Guide, it worked well for Fold3

16Hi 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.
