Great work in bringing twrp to our devices. It will be so much nicer if lineage 16 os or any other treble gsi custom rom running android 9 would work without ussd or sms issues on mtk devices like the a3 and a3 pro

Also my A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT version looks pretty sweet.
Regarding the Project Treble, I am already working on it.
But I cannot confirm anything at this point.
Please be patient (and fingers crossed).

Thank you.

I went straight to the light ROM with no issues at all. Thank you for your work on this project.

Grande Cleopatra!
I've just bought the phone for my uncle, so I'll follow your thread with pleasure.

Thank you @Cleopatra Bianchi for working on this phone.
Very much appreciated.
Got the A3 Pro yesterday, connected WiFi, let it OTA update to V1.2_20181221.
Turned off, followed to OP directions to install TWRP and got it rooted with Magisk.
Works like a champ.
This is a really nice phone for the price ($99 on Amazon, minus some gift cards). We will see how it holds up in everyday use.

Bought Umidigi A3 Pro on Amazon for $95 free shipping.
Installing straight to the light rom then Magisk.
All work out, has no problems at all.
Thanks Cleopatra Bianchi...
Today 1/17/2019
***It is reduced price on Amazon $89.99 -%5 ( clip the coupon) = 85.50$ free shipping***

I think I bricked my A3 non Pro. I firmware upgraded the light rom with sp flash tool and it said ok.
Now screen stays black volume up + power doesn't work.

thank you for sharing
my device was successfully downgraded,
but from os 7 the update via ota jumps to os 9 instead of 8 first

Not funny.
ONLINE UPDATE TOOL.ZIP is password protected. Great, now I have a bricked device. What's the password?
EDIT1: It was 123 .... seriously???
EDIT2: After flashing it asks for password to load Android. System is encrypted. Wtf?
EDIT3: Did a wipe, works now. But it asks to download almost 2gb update and there is no way to cancel it. I hope it's not 9.
EDIT4: Yep, it's 9. Phone demanded to update to Android 9, only then it allowed to use it.

OnlineUpdateTool.zip PASSWORD IS 123

My phone was downgraded successfully but it doesn't start unless I update to android 9..... Plz help

Hi there,
Well if you turn off your wifi and mobile data at the beginning of the setup you will not be forced to download the latest version of android.
Regards
KIBS2173

After the flash, if you are prompted for a code, do a full delete.
Do not use network during setup, there will be no update.
Perfect description!
Thank you very much!

before u downgrade u have to remove all the Google accounts. otherwise when u got finished downgrading u will force to update to android 9 unless u haven't unlock the boot loader..
if bootloader unlocked u can bypass setup wizard using twrp file manager.

Downgrading deletes all data, including accounts.
Simply set up your phone without a sim card and don't connect to wifi. There will be no update.

Thank you
I made an account specifically to thank you. This works very well.
Just a note:
Remove your google account from your device before flashing. Otherwise, it won't let you skip the setup when you boot the phone after the flash.
This is due to a security feature in Android called Factory Reset Protection (FRP). Which essentially makes sure that the owner of the device (or basically the last account that was on it) is the same one logging in after the reset. That's why it doesn't let you skip the setup, thus forcing you to upgrade to Android 9.
If you didn't remove your google account before flashing, you'll have to:
1- Do the Pie update during the setup
2- Sign in with the same google account you had logged in before flashing
3- Remove that account
4- Do the whole flashing process from the start again
You can save yourself from this hassle just by removing the account BEFORE you flash to begin with.
Needless to say, you should disable WiFi and remove your SIM card to bypass the update on boot.
---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------
Also if I may, I have a small question. After downgrading to stock 7.1.1, can I re-flash the December OTA update to get a more recent version?
I want to do this because there's an issue with USB connection and I am hoping that the December OTA fixes it.
UPDATE: I was able to get the OTA zip files from teamandroid (I can't post the link because my account is new , sorry)
I was on 7.1.1 June 2017, so I flashed July, August, September, and October in order.
This gave me Android 7.1.2, October 2017 security patch, and fixed the USB issue.

Hi everyone,
To prevent your phone from updating, after flashing and resetting, just skip the wifi connection, or eject your sim therefore no update will be found.

Patch TWRP with Magisk
Use recovery to boot up rooted
Background on Android Verified Boot
Rollback protection

FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version and only if you don't plan to boot rooted with TWRP (some kernels deliver root prebuilt in kernel), or Rollback protection will kick in and you won't be able to pass the lockscreen.
Q: Where do i get vbmeta.img?
A: From here, download the one you need according to install instructions.
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you flashed multidisabler zip / formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware. If you still don't succeed, post here some details about your device and previous firmware and we might be able to help.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old firmware encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

official builds will be up in few hours

Well done Corsi, thanks for your constant passionate work!

Do I need to patch recovery in magisk manager for root?

Can I install an Android 11 based GSI after successful installation? Or is this not recommended?

Guys im new to this gn10+ rom, i havent used a custom rom for a while (while warranty was available in my country lol)
got a few questions,
1.- If i use this rom, will i be loosing access to bank apps?
2.- how good is the performance from stock to custom rom?
thanks in advance, and sorry for the newbie questions, i havent flashed any rom in the last couple of years (i used to flash sony's roms in my xperias )

If you want to boot with the stock kernel, yes. If you want to use a custom kernel then don't patch it

This isn't a ROM, this is a custom recovery / TWRP
And yes, It is possible that you lose access to banking apps with root

Wow. I am happy with this, easy to install and working like a charm

No news about android 11 support??

The kernel source of Android 11 has not been released ...

Android 11 TWRP is up already for a while, in case you didn't notice it yet grab it from twrp.me.
Don't forget to use targeted TWRP for your android version and release, read more about compatibility in second post of this thread.

Hi , Can I flash this after having patched magisk firmware installed without losing data ?

Hi everyone, after flashing the twrp twrp-3.5.0_9-2-d2s.img.tar, I entered Twrp and it works very well, I rebooted and then tried in various ways to re-enter Twrp, both from off with vol Up key + power key and both restarting by holding down the vol Up keys + power key but I can't get back into Twrp. Only by going first into download mode and then from there by pressing vol down + power button immediately changing to vol Up can I enter Twrp, what should I do to go directly to Twrp? Thank you all.

Is your device on Android 11? Samsung has changed access to recovery on this device. To enter TWRP use this app:
Recovery Reboot - Apps on Google Play
This is a very small app for "rooted" phones to reboot into a custom recovery.
play.google.com
I also think I haven't read where, that having a type c headset connected, and you want to get into recovery with those combinations should work (I haven't tried it, I use that app).

@siriow Did you do well what I told you? It's just that there's no answer, not a simple thank you for your part.

Hi
Im trying to flash this recovery. Got the files, flashed and started pressing the Power+VOL+, but it reboots to Download Mode saying DT Load Fail, not found rev 0x18? Any idea?
Im still on A10
EDIT: So Nobodys Rom 3.5.0_9-2 with vbmeta mod works, -3 doesnt...

@corsicanu I wanted to restore my DTB and DTBO files so I installed https://github.com/corsicanu/9825-bootloaders_and_modems/releases FUBD-twrp-flashable.zip and since then I got bootloop. Im using DrKetan ROM, I tried reinstalling it dirty with AP BL CP and formated /system before. But it bootloops on bootsplash... What I did ROM? Is clean flashing the only way to recover?
Edit:
Nevermind I got it booting again with another kernel. I hope I don't messed up something in the system.

I successfully rooted my SM-A127F U3 with this manual. There are two problems.
USB tethering to Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 is broken after rooting.
Second problem is that I can't update my service provider.
First time rooting I replaced only the AP. Later I tried replacing everything. Once with CSC and once with HOME_CSC nothing works. When I patch with the original AP there is no CID manager problem. Tethering I didn't try

Bruh, no. I mean yes one can root that way but a developer of magisk suggest not to use this way instead patch boot.img for your device using magisk and then flash it.

(GUIDE:) How to ROOT the TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi Model) - (12/10/21):

Hello all,
BORING INTRO STUFF (Safely Ignore This):
I couldn't find any guide that was current enough to make me feel confident in going through with rooting this tablet. So because of that, I decided I would make on my own guide for those that needed this. I tried multiple guides here and all of them resulted in a boot-loop.
VERY SMALL PSA: I'm apologizing in advance if this guide is both pointless and longer than it needs to be. I figured it would be useful as a future reference in-case anyone needed this.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
* TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi)
* This can be done on Android 9,10 & 11 (Process is the same)
* Your specific firmware downloaded (*DO NOT SKIP THIS*)
* Tablet is charged to at least 50%
* Maximum of 20 minutes to both read & follow the process
* FIRMWARE: The link below is the firmware I used. I would still advise you to both look for your specific version and to use the link provided below only if your tablet is exactly as followed:
* (T860XXU4CUI4) - BUILD NUMBER
* (ANDROID 11) - ANDROID VERSION
* (XAR - CELLUAR SOUTH) - SERVICE PROVIDER SOFTWARE VERSION
( https://samfirms.com/SM-T860/KOR/T860XXU4CUI4 )
* SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS: ( https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver )
* ODIN: ( https://samfirms.com/download-odin ) Latest is 3.14.4. Use that one or the newest one
* TWRP (OPTIONAL): T860 (Wi-Fi) ONLY. DOWNLOAD VERSION "twrp-3.6.0_9-0-gts6lwifi.img.tar" OR THE LATEST ONE AVAIABLE.
( https://dl.twrp.me/gts6lwifi/ )
* MAGISK APP: ( https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager )
* LZ4 TOOL: ( https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
* 7-ZIP: ( https://www.7-zip.org/download.html )
HOW TO ROOT:
1. UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER: *** THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA *** (GO TO SETTINGS > ABOUT TABLET > SOFTWARE INFORMATION & TAP BUILD NUMBER 7 TIMES. GO TO DEVELOPER OPTIONS > TOGGLE ON OEM UNLOCKING) TURN OFF THE TABLET. AT YOUR PC, HAVE A CABLE CONNECTED TO THE PC. WHILE HOLDING BOTH VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP, PLUG IN THE CABLE. WHEN THE SCREEN TURNS ON, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP.
WHEN THE SCREEN CHANGES PROMOTING YOU TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, PRESS VOLUME UP. ONCE BOOTED UP, GO THROUGH THE SETUP AGAIN AND MAKE SURE Wi-Fi IS CONNECTED. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS AGAIN AND THEN ENABLE USB - DEBUGGING.
2. EXTRACT THE BOOT.IMG.LZ4 FILE AND MOVE IT TO YOUR TABLET: After 7-Zip is installed, the LZ4 Tool and the firmware you downloaded is extracted somewhere, open the extracted firmware folder. Right-click on the AP file and select 7-zip then open archive. Look for boot.img.lz4, drag it inside of the LZ4 Tool. Once done, drag the boot.img.lz4 on top of the LZ4 executable. It will be extracted as boot.img. Right-click the boot.img file and select 7-zip then add to archive. Change "Archive format" to tar and rename it to boot.tar. Finally, move it to your tablet's storage.
3. DOWNLOAD THE MAGISK APK: Install the Magisk apk that you downloaded and open it up. Within the app, select install, uncheck recovery mode and press next then check "Select and Patch a file". Locate your boot.tar file that you moved into your storage from earlier and wait for Magisk to process it.
4. USING ODIN: Go ahead and locate the new file, it starts with Magisk (NOT THE BOOT.TAR FROM EARLIER SHOULD START WITH MAGISK). Once done, move the Magisk tar file to your computer and turn off the tablet. With the tablet off and Odin open (Run as administrator) , press and hold both VOLUME DOWN & VOLUME UP then plug the cable from your pc into your tablet. With Odin open, go into the "options" tab, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and Select "AP". Locate the Magisk tar file you moved from your tablet and then press "Start".
ONCE IT SAYS "PASS" THEN STOP AND READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING. *IMPORTANT*
PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME DOWN FOR 7 SECONDS. THE SCREEN WILL TURN BLACK. VERY QUICKLY WHILE STILL HOLDING POWER, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP INSTEAD. PRESS POWER TO THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK PROMPT AND YOU SHOULD BE IN RECOVERY. THIS SHOULD BOOT YOU INTO STOCK RECOVERY. USE THE VOLUME KEYS TO NAVIGATE, SELECT "Wipe data/factory reset" then press the power button and select "Factory data reset". Finally, select "Reboot system now" and Wait for the tablet to reboot into the OS.
5. FINISHING UP: After the tablet has restarted back into android and you took a couple of minutes to go through the setup one last time. Scroll up into the app drawer and make sure that you see the app "Magisk", go ahead and select it and press ok to download Magisk. Afterwards, open it up and Magisk will ask you to reboot to finish setting up root. Press ok. Once restarted you are done with the rooting process.
Lastly, as an optional step you can install TWRP.
6. TWRP INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL): With the tablet off and Odin running on your pc, go ahead and press VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP at the same time then plug in the data cable from your PC. Press VOLUME UP to go into download mode. Once in download mode, select "AP" then select the TWRP tar file you downloaded and make sure to uncheck "Auto reboot" from the options tab in Odin. Click start and after it says "PASS" unplug the data cable. On the tablet, press VOLUME DOWN AND POWER to reboot and when you see THE SCREEN TURN BLACK, QUICKLY PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME UP. You should be in TWRP and you are now officially done.
* From now on, I would recommend you use the Magisk app or some reboot app to boot into recovery as it is difficult to use the button combinations to access recovery.
* IF YOU'RE NOT USING MAGISK TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY, I WOULD USE THIS APP INSTEAD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eypcnnapps.quickreboot&hl=en_US&gl=US
Credits: If all went well then I appreciate you taking the time to read through this guide carefully. Hope it was as clear as possible and that you found it helpful. I will be editing this post from time to time to make it cleaner.
Again, Thank you and if you have any questions, I will answer them when I see them.

THANK YOU SO MUSH IVE BEEN STRUGGLING SO HARD TO GET ROOT ON THIS TABLET FINALLY THANK YOUUUUUU
by the way guys, when it says to reboot to make magisk work.
you are risking a bootloop.

Oh by the way, aside from TWRP being wonky thank you for the guide I had been playing with the idea of rooting this thing for over a year now. You made it easy.
I go through all the steps and it works fine. Once I try for TWRP I end up with
"partition recovery
Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)
CUSTOM recovery
VBMETA T860XXU4DVG6, 54204454R"
From that point it just loops back to that message and downloading mode until I wipe it all and start over again. I TWRP a no go for the S6 now? I guess I can dig around on their site as well. Any input anyone wants to throw my way will also be appreciated.

Hi Sadistic - ,
I need to start with a complement. This is a really clear guide.
But, When I get done with step 3, the Magisk patched boot file has a .img extension
On step 4, Odin is expecting a .tar file extension so the file doesnt show up.
Did I miss something?
Thanks

Yes, step 2 is moving the extracted boot file (re-named to .tar) to my tablet and then patching it with magisk.
The patched file from Magisk has an .img extension.
