Hey Sam do you have an email? I've rooted a lot of phones but this Samsung Galaxy sm-j337p. I need to root without unlocking bootloader. I know its possible but I'm not exactly sure which one or way is the guarantee. I cant back up what all I need either is why theres an issue and all this stuff I need for my divorce as well as stuff that I need to recover with root by Tuesday. Let me know mate thanks.
Man look, i did everything until i got to CMD FASTBOOT my device wont obey any command and when I try to use hard reset it simply says, NO COMMAND PLEASE HELP!!!!!
An extra (probably unnecessary but still worth doing) tip, if you're going to flash your phone or work with ADB, I suggest using an extra cable that's only meant for flashing that way it's always ready to go and reliable. I found that I rarely have success with even having my phone show up in ADB if I use a cable that I also use to charge with. Nothing technical about it, just the fact that the more a cable is worn, the less reliable it will be for data transfer.
I know I'm late but this is a really good point. I had some difficulties interfacing with my Nexus 7 because all of my micro USB cables were so worn out. By contrast, it was extremely easy on my Poco X3 Pro because I had a barely used cable lying around that was perfect for the job.
@@jemuelsamuel4020 That's so misleading. S8 onwards have E-fuses in the main board that blow permanently on flashing custom software. This is anything not signed by Samsung, ie superuser, custom rom, etc. This fuse is checked by Knox and as such becomes completely disabled if the fuse is tripped. This is on stock software. Even if it's there, it won't work. If you flash custom rom etc the software will be gone entirely. Knox is a combination of hardware security, low level software and some user apps all tied together.
I was just exploring on how to root the phone I recently bought and just watched the how to root oneplus 8 video yesterday by Sam. And here it is. The complete guide for all of us. Thanks a lot🙏🏼
Thank you for the non-bs video. You should make a vid about the dangers of rooting. There is a lot of “how to root” spam on the yt and it’s pretty obvious after reading comments a lot of people don’t understand the potential dangers of blindly following root instructions.
and facing same problem again after flash magisk i download magisk mudele like screen cam' s module i open my magisk app and try to flash that module it says reboot device and after tahat i stuck on bootloader
I'd just like to add that if you have a Chromebook with developer mode enabled, platform tools are built right in to the Chrome OS shell. You can access it by pressing CTRL+ALT+T then typing "shell" into the terminal. From here, you can use ADB and Fastboot commands to interface with your Android device. You might have to give it SuperUser permissions or add "sudo" at the beginning of some commands, but it's otherwise flawless. I use a Google Pixelbook as my main computer, so this makes tinkering with my Android devices ridiculously easy. No need to download anything in order to make it work.
Hey Sam, first and foremost thanks for video as it's so awesome to finally be able to listen to an another Australian explain these topics. I wanted to ask if you could do a video covering how to install a GSI on a device as I have had trouble finding one that explains what to do clear enough.
4:32 I appreciate that you are not giving an extensive list of possible commands, but neither of those commands worked in my case. I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ but I can't find anywhere on the internet with information about what command to type here. The command line just says "" and does not allow me to continue typing commands. Does anyone know what command I should be using for a Samsung phone?

OTA updates are released in waves... Sometimes it may happen that on manufacturer site there is newer firmware version then that one actually installed... So flashing patched boot.img from newer version to phone may end up with bootloop.. So always check if your phone running the latest version (if you download the latest version). Sometimes you may even get OTA update that is not present on manufacturers website yet so pay attention to that.
Hi, I want to render 1080p video as 1440p at 2.35 1 aspect ratio (premiere pro), did you know the right resolution to make the 1440p appear on youtube because I want to get VP09 Codecs on youtube.
hi i was following your video up till around 4:30 but when i typed in fastboot oem unlock (for my oneplus 8) it would get stuck on waiting for device and would not show the conformation message i would appreciate the help
Useful fact: Samsung devices actually uses their own way to install firmware that can't use fastboot they need a firmware file and odin or any flash tool
you need your brand/manufacturer serial number just search up like if your using samsung tablet galaxy ro something then search it up or just copy your serial number that when you put on command prompt adb devices sadly for me it rooting my phone dosent work cuz mah phone is huawei
I find it interesting that you always like to use Magisk to patch the stock boot image instead of flashing a new recovery like TWRP to flash the entire Magisk ZIP itself
By using MAGISK ONLY method, it will save you a lot of times when you need to re-root again the same device. Situation like you receive a system update and installed the update. Root is gone. All you need to do is download the ROM you just updated and patch the boot.img file to root the device again. TWRP is also good in terms of you are interested in trying different kinds of ROM which I'm not a big fan. I just need my device root and able to use TASKER.
Okay just trying to be a lil helpful since I ran into this problem. If you try and type the file "cd platform tools" and get and an error saying s "the system cannot find the path specific". Put the WHOLE name in you can usually drag the file into the command prompt and it gives it to you. It should say CD C:\user\your name on computer \desktop\platform-tools_r30.0.5-your computer. Hope this was helpful!!!!
That's actually very simple!!? Thank you for the tutorial!! Also once you have the patched img file you can flash it from the phone itself using custom recovery like TWRP there you get option to flash image then select boot

Anyway if someone can simplify the process a little bit about what I can do now that the bootloader is unlocked I will happily read and give your suggestions a try... If it's within my reach I mean.
If some one have the problem of bootloop can solve using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" where boot.img is the original firmware of your phone. You can find the original firmware on the official site of your phone.
oh I'm sorry to interrupt I really like your setup and stuff but you're really incorrect about one thing you can root your phone without a computer all you do is download the original file the original firmware for whatever device and carrier that you have or unlocks is a backup as well as you download the rooted firmware and then you simply install the rooted firmware from your SD card using the one-click route method I've done it several times without a computer on all the Galaxy notes in the past one two and three I've done it Etc and that your phone if you do mess it up there's a difference nine times out of 10 if you've rude or flashed the wrong ROM it'll just be soft brick meaning when you plug it in the light still comes on as long as you do that you can simply upload the original firmware to from a computer you would have to do that or you can use external drive
There many use for rooting Cuz sometimes when your phone is not rooted, you can't access certain file like android>data files which contains the data of many of your applications
@@GLORIBLESS The phone becomes utterly free from its developers. It allows you to wholly change your phone's aesthetic (bootloader animation, accent color, font, etc), it is feasible to be fully anonymous while browsing or casually using your phone, root access also permits you to block EVERY advertisement (literally), You might even download several outcasted apps. Summarizing: your phone will truly be yours, everything under your absolute domine and control. However, with such power, a few new responsibilities arises...
I couldn't get through unlocking bootloader. when I type in the command it just says waiting for devices. my phone didn't show bootloader, it just showed 'downloading...'
Be careful everyone please know that safetynet cannot be spoofed anymore on most devices(soon to be all devices) because it is now hardware based so if you don't pass safetynet there is most likely no way of passing now and you will have to remove root and re lock the bootloader if you need to pass for banking
I would suggest "all in one tool". Just Google "all in one tool android" and open first link with XDA forum. Not for all androids. But does good job with most popular phones.
Guys, this is just for those who don't have a PC. You CAN ROOT YOUR PHONE. All you need is another Android phone. Go to the Play Store and download an app called Bugjaegr. It allows you to run ADB Commands with another phone through an OTG cable. Just enter the commands as normal then! Ciao!
Believe it or not, there is an app I used on my RCA tablet called kingroot (and also one called kingoroot) which "rooted" it without a PC. I say it in quotes because root checkers and apps that only worked with rooted phones really thought I was rooted, so I am guessing this app somehow tricked my tablet or the apps into thinking I was rooted. All you do in kingroot is click on some buttons and you are "rooted." However, it is VERY ad friendly and was very sketchy. Like for example, it put its own lockscreen on my tablet (which still worked) but I never thought much of it because I didn't care about my old tablet but it really didn't do anything to my tablet. No virus or anything. I haven't used the app since then so I don't know how it behaves now. I think it only works with old phones so if you have an old phone lying around and willing to risk it I recommend you install kingroot (or kingoroot) and use it. It might still work. TL:DR There is an app called kingroot and another called kingoroot which I used on an old RCA tablet of mine and they both somehow "rooted" the tablet and it let me use apps and do things that you could only do when rooted. Root checkers also confirmed that I was rooted after the use of the apps. I think they only work for old phones though.
So, your link only seems to give access to boots for pixel and nexus phones now, and as a samsung user, I've found "a" tool called Odin, but that has multiple different download sources, and from what I could find it appears kinda sketchy... :? So where can I get the boots from, safely? If anyone knows?
Hi, I really like this kind of videos, good work! It's a long time ago I rooted my devices. Are there any downsides now? Eg. does Google Pay, banking App, etc work with root enabled? I currently have a Pixel 4 XL and Google Pay is a must have.
For the life of me I can not find a way to unlock my bootloader. For SM-A125U (Samsung Galaxy A12). I have put it in fast boot and tried the commands for that. I'm at a loss.
great! I followed your steps and once i typed in that reboot thingy my device stopped being recognized now its stuck on that fastboot screen and I have a broken power button :D
Got my Galaxy S8 Active and was so excited to root it and get cool stuff. Discovered you cant unlock the bootloader because the the "OEM Unlocking" option is locked and not shown. Do your research kids...
I tried this with a Pixel 3a, and now it's stuck in fastboot on the last step, where you load the Magisk file. It doesn't show up on my PC when I do './adb devices'. Help?
Another complete serie for unlocking & rooting phones you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/GWTXpv6Xu8U/v-deo.html These methods work on certain phones a some just don't. But i thinks the unlocking has to be done all the time...
Did you try supersu installing with twrp and got a boot image is patched error? If yes, delete your OS and install the stock rom: get it for your device version from google and install supersu on the new rom. Now i have root
I was under the impression the best way to unlock the bootloader with a oneplus device was to call their technical support department and give them your IMEI number. At that point, they're supposed to send a signal out over the next few days and all you have to do is follow the steps. At least, that's what I was told.
@@ALJorgeHenrique dude i have already wiped my data,i'm trying now to root..see the time stamp i'm stuck there i'm inserting patch and then nothing happens.. understood?
@@VamsiKumpatla Yes, This means that you failed, you must restart the whole process by flashing the stock room into your phone, and attempting again with another method or following warily all the steps once more. But do not worry, your phone is not ruined.
@@VamsiKumpatla Awesome! Now your phone is utterly free! I recommend the browser "Tor" or "Duckduckgo" and the ad blocker "Adguard". You should also download a reliable firewall (for rooted devices).

WARNING to all Snapchat users out there. The devs can tell if your bootloader is unlocked, even if you're not rooted (some workaround they got from google) and they will not let you sign in. (At least on OP8 Pro). I could hide every other app on my phone (even banking) from my root but Snapchat would not budge. Ended up wiping my phone twice and re-locking the bootloader. Don't be like me! Save yourself from some pain fellow snappers :()

There many use for rooting
Cuz sometimes when your phone is not rooted, you can't access certain file like android>data files which contains the data of many of your applications
Mine keeps showing an error message. When I type fastboot flashing unlock.. It brings an error message
Hey sam, I'm just ready to root my phone,thank you!
after root what you want to do on your phone?
@@GLORIBLESS The phone becomes utterly free from its developers.
It allows you to wholly change your phone's aesthetic (bootloader animation, accent color, font, etc), it is feasible to be fully anonymous while browsing or casually using your phone, root access also permits you to block EVERY advertisement (literally),
You might even download several outcasted apps.
Summarizing: your phone will truly be yours, everything under your absolute domine and control.
However, with such power, a few new responsibilities arises...
@@ALJorgeHenrique bro will rooting my phone delete all my files?
if u guys had a problem match ur device model with the Firmware and the REgion too its wouldnt be a problem incase u cant read another Language
Bravo Six. Going Dark

His stache has its own personality. Chad vibes

lmao nerd
On you
I have a LG V30 (LG-H931) and when I entered ./fastboot oem unlock keeps waiting for any device but noting happens on the phone.
Hey dude, thanks for the tutorial! I'm stuck in the command prompt on 'waiting for any device'. Any advice on how to get further?
check that your phone is allowing the computer to control the phone
it should be in "connected devices" option in settings
you can't root newer vivo ans oppo phones beacuse they not allowthe user to unlock a bootloader and they did not release the sourcecode
I cant find the oem thing please help
Got a load of spare old smartphones that still work. Hoping to practice on them out of curiosity.
I couldn't get through unlocking bootloader. when I type in the command it just says waiting for devices. my phone didn't show bootloader, it just showed 'downloading...'
same problem here tell me if you fixed it
It doesn't work on Huawei phones unfortunately. The method for them is different and I'm not sure it still works
Be careful everyone please know that safetynet cannot be spoofed anymore on most devices(soon to be all devices) because it is now hardware based so if you don't pass safetynet there is most likely no way of passing now and you will have to remove root and re lock the bootloader if you need to pass for banking
I would suggest "all in one tool". Just Google "all in one tool android" and open first link with XDA forum.
Not for all androids. But does good job with most popular phones.
Guys, this is just for those who don't have a PC. You CAN ROOT YOUR PHONE. All you need is another Android phone. Go to the Play Store and download an app called Bugjaegr. It allows you to run ADB Commands with another phone through an OTG cable. Just enter the commands as normal then! Ciao!
Believe it or not, there is an app I used on my RCA tablet called kingroot (and also one called kingoroot) which "rooted" it without a PC. I say it in quotes because root checkers and apps that only worked with rooted phones really thought I was rooted, so I am guessing this app somehow tricked my tablet or the apps into thinking I was rooted. All you do in kingroot is click on some buttons and you are "rooted." However, it is VERY ad friendly and was very sketchy. Like for example, it put its own lockscreen on my tablet (which still worked) but I never thought much of it because I didn't care about my old tablet but it really didn't do anything to my tablet. No virus or anything. I haven't used the app since then so I don't know how it behaves now. I think it only works with old phones so if you have an old phone lying around and willing to risk it I recommend you install kingroot (or kingoroot) and use it. It might still work.
TL:DR There is an app called kingroot and another called kingoroot which I used on an old RCA tablet of mine and they both somehow "rooted" the tablet and it let me use apps and do things that you could only do when rooted. Root checkers also confirmed that I was rooted after the use of the apps. I think they only work for old phones though.
So, your link only seems to give access to boots for pixel and nexus phones now, and as a samsung user, I've found "a" tool called Odin, but that has multiple different download sources, and from what I could find it appears kinda sketchy... :?
So where can I get the boots from, safely? If anyone knows?
Your beard is so glorious I can't take my eye off it
Do you have to update every month or is it optional
Hi, I really like this kind of videos, good work! It's a long time ago I rooted my devices.
Are there any downsides now? Eg. does Google Pay, banking App, etc work with root enabled?
I currently have a Pixel 4 XL and Google Pay is a must have.
I use custom rom with root, Gpay works fine..
Nope.
just a question what file do you mean that has the img file
Yo, sam, love your stuff. Would I be able to root my phone using a Windows surface 7
Yes, pretty confident you could do it using a Surface 👌🏻
@@sambeckman awsome thanks
For the life of me I can not find a way to unlock my bootloader. For SM-A125U (Samsung Galaxy A12). I have put it in fast boot and tried the commands for that. I'm at a loss.
You need to access download mode in order to do it Samsung does not support fastboot commands
great! I followed your steps and once i typed in that reboot thingy my device stopped being recognized now its stuck on that fastboot screen and I have a broken power button :D
rip
1:06 OK, but how do I back up my phone without root? (I want a _real_ backup, not Google's flaky garbage that ignores all the important apps.)
Got my Galaxy S8 Active and was so excited to root it and get cool stuff. Discovered you cant unlock the bootloader because the the "OEM Unlocking" option is locked and not shown. Do your research kids...
actually rooting most phones is done by twrp and magisk zip files and its 3x easier than this
how much time does it take for bootloader for samsung a30
I tried this with a Pixel 3a, and now it's stuck in fastboot on the last step, where you load the Magisk file. It doesn't show up on my PC when I do './adb devices'. Help?
I'm confused af..... I'll need to rewatch this video a few times. My boot loader is already unlocked.
Another complete serie for unlocking & rooting phones you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/GWTXpv6Xu8U/v-deo.html
These methods work on certain phones a some just don't. But i thinks the unlocking has to be done all the time...
if there are both boot.img and recovery.img what image file should we select.
boot.img 👍🏻
Will rooting my phone disable the fingerprint reader? (I'm using a Galaxy A40)
Did you try supersu installing with twrp and got a boot image is patched error? If yes, delete your OS and install the stock rom: get it for your device version from google and install supersu on the new rom. Now i have root
I was under the impression the best way to unlock the bootloader with a oneplus device was to call their technical support department and give them your IMEI number. At that point, they're supposed to send a signal out over the next few days and all you have to do is follow the steps. At least, that's what I was told.
when i type in fastboot oem unlock nothing happens :( zte blade v10 vita
you need to check the command for your phone. like, search "how to unlock ZTE Blade v10 Vita bootloader".
huh. Try "fastboot flashing unlock"
please i'm stuck at 7:56, how do you get out of fast bootwithout wiping the data...
please say a cmd line for that
my device Mi A2,bootloader unlocked
It is a necessary sacrifice, for the sake of your phone's freedom... ROOT IT!!!
@@ALJorgeHenrique dude i have already wiped my data,i'm trying now to root..see the time stamp
i'm stuck there
i'm inserting patch and then nothing happens..
understood?
@@VamsiKumpatla Yes, This means that you failed, you must restart the whole process by flashing the stock room into your phone, and attempting again with another method or following warily all the steps once more.
But do not worry, your phone is not ruined.
update :got rooted...thanks sam lots of love
@@VamsiKumpatla Awesome!
Now your phone is utterly free!
I recommend the browser "Tor" or "Duckduckgo" and the ad blocker "Adguard". You should also download a reliable firewall (for rooted devices).
The middle part of the bootloader you had me fucced up
Cool video bro
I don't have a p.c but I was interested and still watched till the end
This is very different method you used. Flashing magisk zip in custom recovery is the universal method.
but you still need adb to install recovery on your phone.
None of these unlock commands work:(
Because your phone is too modern like ancient phones you can root them quickly because of lack of security and updates
Thank you for the upload, I got close to the end but I don't have a boot image file and I can't find one for my Alcatel V1 5007u, do you know where I can find one?
I am currently trying to root my Samsung galaxy a8 and I factory reset my phone, installed all the necessary files and typed in the commands, but when I type in adb reboot bootloader my phone gets stuck on a screen that says "downloading..." and the option to cancel. I have been on this screen for 2 hours now and nothing is happening. Please help
You need to search UA-cam more against Samsung root. Downloading is correct but is meant require action from you, from your PC.
WARNING to all Snapchat users out there. The devs can tell if your bootloader is unlocked, even if you're not rooted (some workaround they got from google) and they will not let you sign in. (At least on OP8 Pro). I could hide every other app on my phone (even banking) from my root but Snapchat would not budge. Ended up wiping my phone twice and re-locking the bootloader. Don't be like me! Save yourself from some pain fellow snappers :()
that's an honest navigation.. I'm impressed... keep it up🤘
Thanks so much! It's pretty a clear guild, at least for me. Question is why would brand name such as OPPO & VIVO are seems unwelcome unlock bootloader? I never can seek any of those brand a method against bootloader unlocking so that stopping me to buy these phone models. Do you have experience about it? Thanks edmond
Snapdragon Samsung phones can't be rooted as they are bootloader locked. Google pixel phones carrier unlocked can be rooted. No matter the firmware.
Good and simple way is also flashing things like Magisk using custom recovery like TWRP
4:40 bro what happens if i enter wrong command?
If i entered wrong command can i get back to normal screen by turning off all bootloader.
can anyone got the link for samsung s20fe boot image
The thing is buddy most people use samsung or other phones and those have OEM security features that hinder unlocking the phone.
Yes
