What could cause the "long press volume up: unlock mode" option to just not show up on that menu? I flashed every file including the A12U_USA_SINGLE.pit but for some reason it's not there. I tried what you suggested and then made sure I flashed all the right files but it's still the same.
what's the rabbit hole? If I can do it at all I'll try, and I have a soldering iron in case I need that. mostly because my only other option is to pay off this phone so I can buy a new one, which I would really rather not be paying any extra money for a phone I can't even do anything fun with
I can't really explain how to do that, it is really complicated. I even my self haven't done that yet because I didn't have any need to do it but I know it is hard. Don't belive people that tell you it is impossible because it is possible just like everything in life.
Could you please explain better. I don't undrstand if you are talking about patching a file or flashing patched magisk.
Sorry, rooting guide at point 19 to click direct install in magisk but only has "patch a file" option. Neither appears any popup at the 17 and 18 points.
Did you flash the patched magik tar file, try creating it again and re flashing, is it displayed as 0bytes?
I've just noticed that I'd downloaded from samfw.com the same fw as I had which is the AMO (spanish phone carrier). Should I try with the PHE (carrier free)?
You need to patch the AP file from the fimware your phone is currently running and then flash it. Try PHE if you want.
I've tried both with same result.
It's normal if you don't do a factory data reset and wipe cache? There could be a bug with the fimware but anyway if it works without wipeing then skip the step but you will probably get some issues.
Sorry, I want to say after factory data reset and wipe cache.
You can but booting in to stock rom just woun't work. There must be something that happends in the midle of patching, try other countury fimware with new patched AP. And try older magisk.
