Flash this official firmware through Odin if you have Exynos S8, and you'll get OEM unlock option.
I also manually updated to Oreo through this firmware and not through OTA. Also, note that flashing this will not wipe any of your existing data and also will not trip your knox

Flashed official XEO for Poland and still OEM unlock isnt there :/

Does the Oreo update affect the the locked bootloader on the Snapdragon version? I thought it was impossible to install TWRP on the Snapdragon versions of the S8?

I have installed but now shows me 0 mb on inernal sotorage , ive tried to change data but nothing cant mount sdcard

Try use AQK7 ( 4 file firmware + re-partition PIT)
In my case I 100% success returned form CRAP to AQK7.
OEM unlock is in dev settings, no RMM and FRP.
Powodzenia ^_^

I'm guessing this is not for the US snapdragon variant.

There's no way this can work on US Snapdragon, we don't have a OEM unlock option here.

Tired of the US locked bootloaders.
Next time I'll get a Exynos GS9 for sure.

TWRP trips Knox if I'm not mistaken.

i did this guide and everything is went good but when i restarted the phone it went to a softbrick and i had to do a restore...
the error was something on the original binary

to have the OEM option, will I have to go back to crap?

I have just tried this method and booted into TWRP but the screen was totally unresponsive, rebooted and still the same. I had to go back to Oreo.
How do I get around this problem?

Magisk for Samsung Galaxy a42

Anyone has tried rooting using Magisk? I just bought this last week. I want to modify the CSC feature so that I can enable auto call recording restriction in my country. That needs rooting. I don't care about the warranty. Anyone?

Have you tried flashing the CSC of a country that does support call recording? Or does the A42 not support call recording in any country?

In India a42 supports call recording but in Malaysia it does not. I think flashing CSC requires root access and that is what Magisk is all about from my first question.

Hi guys,I'm interested too for call recorder on Samsung galaxy a42 5g,any ideas?

where i can find is the Firmware for this phone ? (A426BXXU1ATK4) already search in sam mobile and nothing there yet.
Thanks

have OEM Unlocked and ready to go, should I be concerned with Qualcomm secure boot: enable?

i have tryed rooting with magisk with Success,
My process was:
had no luck passing all Ap file to the phone, ... "could not read from device"
so I passed boot.img.lz4 in lz4tool, then flashed the boot.img in magisk and packed a tar with vbmeta and recovery and the renamed magisk_patched .img to boot img,
Try to flash via odin in download mode and it fail in ODIN 3.14.
Any one with success?
Please ignore
I edit this it should be some problem with the cable... and my pc Try it again and it worked. with Magisk

*Notice this will void warranty, and I'm not responsible for any damage you may cause or data loss etc...
Process to root with magisk
requirements:
Oem unlock (develpment mode and in bootloader)
ODIN 3.14
Firmware of the image
lz4tool
7zip
Install Magisk manager.
from the image firmware extract from AP the file boot.img.lz4.
pass this in boot img.lz4 in lz4tool and copy to phone the boot.img
Patch it boot.img in magisk manager
copy magisk_patched.img to pc and rename it to boot.img
use 7zip and create a tar "magisk_patched.tar" with the boot.img , vbmeta and recovery ( extract this to from the original fw AP)
In Odin in slot AP load the magisk_patched.tar and in option untick auto reboot and press start
reboot the phone using the combo keys to go to recovery and wipe/factory reset
let it boot and then your done
install magisk manager again if needed and let it set.

I thought in India it's already been enabled by the carrier CSC. BTW, I live in Malaysia. You need to root your phone with Magisk and then edit the CSC feature to enable call recorder. But remember warranty is 100% void.

SO WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO BE ABLE TO ROOT MY AMERICAN VERSION A42 G5 I AM BRAND NEW AT THIS ROOTING THING SO PLEASE TAKE IT EASY ON ME LOL I AM GONNA TRY AND ROOT MY NOTE 9 AS WELL

I haven't rooted my phone yet. It's not useful to root yet as the phone is currently powerful and have OTA update for android 12!
I just got my Android 12 on this phone few days ago.

So when you say root by regular means what do you mean because I'm trying to root my American model but I dont know a way to unless I'm able to unlock the bootloader

I mean that sometimes exploits are found that allow you to gain root access without the need to unlock the bootloader. To this day I've only seen it be done on S8 and S9 so I think your chances of an exploit like that being released are very slim. There were also paid services to gain special tokens that would allow you to unlock the bootloader but those were pretty expensive, at least like 100 USD. And it's been so long that I've seen them I have no clue if they're still in business.

the dev doesn't actually have the phone in his hands and google has changed how android works quite a bit under the hood.

Can you elaborate on how the safetynet is fixed
does it use the kdrag0n module

Hello and thank you for your support.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A01 (A015M), which I want to install TWRP and then flash GSI rom. I have already the bootloader unlock (thanks to android 11 update) and rooted it.
Does this TWRP works on A015M?? I am trying and I do not get pass from "File analysis.." from Odin with twrp.tar in AP.
Can you explain a little more how to disable AVB?
Thank you.
Edit: Still I can not pass over "File analysis" from Odin, so I will wait. Thank you.

how to disable avb? i have already unlocked and root my sma015f with android 11 without twrp.

You need to update to Android 11 first, then do the normal method to unlock (connect your smartphone to PC, enter in download mode and unlock).

Well, you can update to Android 11, unlock your bootloader and then go back to Android 10 flashing a stock rom with Android 10. You will get Android 10, and unlocked bootloader for root if you want, you do not lose unlock bootloader for flash android 10.
I did that, and now I have Android 10 with root.

Sorry for the wait, you need to descompress your AP file from your firmware, inside there is a bootloader.img (or similar name), put it in your smartphone then install Magisk (without root yet) and patch the file. Here there is better guide:
How to Root Samsung Galaxy A21s using Magisk (Android 11)
Samsung Galaxy A21s is a budget smartphone with great features and decent performance. But there are some limits to what the phone can do without rooting
magiskapp.com
(This also works for A015M)
You need to follow this guide from STEP 3, but give you time to read the full article.
