Hello,

I have problem with patch my boot.img with Magisk manager. After patching I got error : "The phone is not running Samsung's official software". After flash again stock boot.img everything works.

I use Odin to flash.

I tried to install unofficial TWRP from other thread but I got SVD Fail and vbmeta errors during boot.

Somebody have any idea how solve this problem?

Model : SM-A127F/DSN
Baseband version : A127FXXU2AUG7
Android 11 (UI 3.1)

Info from download mode :
KG STATE : Checking
FRP LOCK : OFF
OEM LOCK : OFF(U)
Secure Download : Enabled
RP SWREV : B:2 K:2 S:2


I found similar situation on movie :
But for me recovery mode and factory reset not solve problem. Phone stuck on "Samsung's official software" and reboot after a few minutes.

Best Regards

I solved this problem by This thread
SM-A127F have a different hardware than for example SM-A125F and working on Exynos 850 the same as Samsung A21s.

Magisk 23 still not working.

I have same phone A127
Do you rooted your device now ?
If yes how do you root device ?
And thank you
Hi, Yes I have root on this device !
It's very simple, but official Magisk have a bug which prevents the device from booting properly and your phone will be stuck with in bootloop.

1. You must get custom patched Magisk (jn attachment) - from This thread and install it on phone.
2. Get your original firmware from : https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A127F
3. Unpack your firmware and upload AP_XXXXX file on phone and patch it with magisk.
4. Flash with ODIN and done :)

You have full instruction : Here but I recommend patch full AP_XXX file not only boot.img. Full AP patch It will allow you to turn off DM-Verity immediately and trouble with vbmeta.

Thanks for this.
I just bought this phone and looking forward to building a custom kernel for it.

Thanks for the root method.
I've discovered that this phone has the same set of CPU frequencies for big and little

kernel dont working ( how i install old kernel ?? i cant find it
Not exactly sure, maybe physwizz confirm, I presume, you tried install kernel file by Install button in TWRP. I tried it too, failed it too and
a) you have done backup in TWRP, thats usual reason to setup TWRP - you just in case backup those special partition and if you done it, restore boot from backup will help
b) really not sure about that, but Odin, button BL and flash BL file from original stock ROM.

Can anybody advanced confirm? Maybe it can be helpful to know exactly, what for sure are kernel (AFAIK part of boot partition), "bootloader" and "boot" partion, BL button in Odin
