The Proper Way to root your S10 (10+,10e) Device and get it Right! Tipps & Tricks

[Gymcode]

I had Magisk installed on my s10e, and verified to be rooted.
However, when I proceed to flash a magisk_patched.tar package that contains patched TWRP recovery img with the remaining original BL+CP+HOME_CSC, the next reboot will always fail and goes straight to download mode with the following error:

(AVB Fail)
Recovery: Error Validating Footer (0)
Recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: Invalid vbmeta header (0)

I would need to flash the stock firmware in order to boot up the phone afterwards.

TWRP version I am using is twrp-beyond0lte-3.3.1-103_ianmacd

May I know what should I do? I have tried many times :/

hmmm, Magisk Manager for me on my S10, Android 10 just stays forever on 'checking updates', so I cannot patch AP!?!?

Does anyone know what I can try to fix this?

thanks

Edit: fixed with a factory reset

I followed the the guide and was successful in rooting my S10+, however after a reboot my root has been lost. I've tried reflashing through twrp magisk version 20.4(20400) and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

You need to hold Bixby and volume up when you power on for a couple sec. Not long enough to boot to recovery. If you read other magisk guides on this device you will set mention of it to

It was my error, used the wrong firmware, even though it was the correct model. Just flashed the BL, then I was able to run Downoad Mode. The Flashed the official firmware. It was easy, but took quite some time to figure it out.

Uk phone using German PDA?

Can you guys let me know the best way to continue the root process. I'm on the early stage of grabbing offcial firmware and I have run into a weird issue with my PDA and Model number. I purchased my phone from Carphone warehouse in the UK on an O2 sim so as far as I know this should be unlocked. When I check my model number and PDA they don't match up with what I would expect to see.

My model is - SM-G975F
PDA is - G975FXXU7CTF1

Any help or advice on what I should do here would be appreciated.

magisk download is broken, otherwise. Good guide, going to try this after download is done. Will report back.
Edit: After installing magisk as explained I can't seem to boot into download mode with vol down, bixby, power and cable connect. Any tips?

 

[matata86]

There is some solution to boot AUTOMATICALLY with root when restarting. When the phone restarts at night, for example, it boots into the non-root version. : - /
