Updated Samsung Galaxy S10 Root Tutorial for Android 12 & OneUI 4.1 

I have been jailbreaking iPhone for over a decade now but it was my first time rooting an android. It was so perplexing and I was really in two minds to continue with it, till I found your video. Efficient and effective.

Thanks. I've been working on this for 8 hours 20 minutes (12 hours if you count yesterday) because every other tutorial was outdated. This one worked like a charm Subbed :)

Wanted to root my S10+ saw many video but no one was so clear as you did tired many options show by many but it failed only your option and the way you mentioned worked fine and you made it so easy thank buddy for your good work and help 👍👍👍👍👍

Bro he is right, I have watched so many different language videos and always with their download folder where everything is supposedly inside and in the end they were not up to date or in the end the whole thing didn't work. you have put it in a nutshell without download folders or anything else. The video is perfect. 10/10 thank you very much!

This tutorial was really a great help! Thanks a lot!! I was also wery happy to realize that I do not have to use the three-finger-power-up-method in order to have Magisk running and have the device rooted. An ordinary power-up does it! I don't know what made the difference .... Three things I could think of: - 1st I used Magisk v26.4 - 2nd I had USB-Debugging activated - 3rd it was my magic finger ... Anyway, I am glad that it works! Thanks again!

Finally! After working for Three days on all the guides that Google can bring up, I come across this video. I am rooting S10 with a guide from "theworldsbestandworst" well its the worst. If anyone here has used that guide. STOP. Watch this video. You are still good to go. This video makes the one thing that no guide does. It makes it clear to use the LATEST version of Magisk no matter what guide you are using. As soon as you update Magisk, you break your root. That being said... Do NOT update Magisk on this phone in the future. It is not safe to do so. Turn off the feature to check for updates in the Magisk app. Thank you for this video, it got me back on track. It also made VERY clear the WHEN and HOW to press the buttons to get into the rooted version of the firmware. Finding the right time from these other guides was killing me and one look at your video and I got it on the first try. Also, no one even mentioned needing to have the USB cable plugged in either like you did. Great job, thank you! Now I can install Poly and bot my PoGo lol.

I just recently bought my S10+ and this tutorial really helped me out!

Thanks buddy, can't tell you how much your videos have helped me over the last year or so, kindest regards, Richard U.K

I love this video. Wish I'd done this before setting up my phone already! One thing to try FIRST, is to check if your phone can boot into the recovery mode. I just used Bifrost to download the firmware. I'm not with any carrier so I just chose TMB (T-Mobile). They're all the same file. But the trick to using this software, always use the directory it chooses. I cannot for the life of me get the OEM option to appear.The Odin flash failed and I thought I had bricked my phone, but it started normally.

ive been trying to root all of my phones for like 4 years but they never worked and now you helped me and now i got it working. thank you so much for helping me root my phone ,you deserve a sub

you've earned a new sub through this easy video. You wouldn't believe how complicated other youtubers make it look like.

Great video, worked first time for me carefulling following your steps. Thank you very much!

Thanks for this. Was struggling with mine. It kept booting to twrp instead of root. So followed this and all sorted.

Congratulations and thank you, you are a champion. My wife's new S10E is root. Hello from France 👍

Thanks, worked for S10 Lite, android 13, 5.1 UI

Thank you very much, this is the real most up-to-date tutorial for S10 Root we have. Thanks for the video

Hello Sir , thank you for the tutorial , by use it I have got root on my s10e and.12 . Could you make a tutorial how to install lineage on the device please ? Thanks

i dont not comment that much, but here i have to do. Thank you so much. Great Video!

Thanks for the clear and precise video :) Unfortunately for me, this won't work for what I wanted to do with my old S10 Plus with shattered glass, as it's not a daily driver anymore, and was hoping to turn it into a PiHole which requires a new OS to be flashed to it. Oh well

Works great! Thank you for the well made guide.

first time using android and it works perfectly! i just wish you explained the easy stuff like Butten combinations and csc instead of linking videos and frija was a little frustrating to install but other than that I'm glad it worked easily. thanks a lot

Worked until the Download(or OdinMode) last firmware update. Error userdata(Auth). Any clues? Other tutorial is in Hindi :). No subtitles

Thank you so much, you have helped me so much I can't thank you enough.

thx bro after 5 Time Fail and 3 vids and Escaping with Error "An Error occurred ... " I Finally Rooted Thx So much!

I just tried it on my Samsung S10. I downloaded the correct files and placed the correct files back into odin and then started the process. Everything was going fine until the end when it gave me the FAIL with the error Secure Check fail : vbmeta - Image extract failed. In the log it says FAIL! (Auth) I just tried it again and same error.

Is it possible to unlock S10 US version with the same file and method which you've provided?

You just saved my day! Thanks a lot!

Hello friend, I did all this procedure from your video on Galaxy Note 10 Plus Android 12 Oneui 4.1, October ROM, Root was successfully installed, but there is a problem, then when I go to device assistance and change the RAM memory from 4 GB to 8 GB the phone asks to restart, after it restarts the Magisk disappears the root disappears it says that it does not have root anymore?

Hi, I did everything according to the video and everything works fine, but after a few times I activate the root, it doesn't let me at all, I'd appreciate some help

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the great video!

only left is how get back factory unrooted? factory reset on boot or do need download unmodified firmware? after update root gone? same steps again to root it but allways files lost?

thank you sir! very good tut, subbed!

I was a fan of apple planning to make a move to android because of its theming capabilities. I followed your video and successfully rooted my Galaxy s10 without any prior knowledge on rooting process. Many thanks for the video. Now I need to install an AOSP ROM which is the requirement for installing PROJECT THEMER. Could you please suggest me any links for that?

Good day author. I'm a citizen of another country, and I don't quite understand English... I have a Samsung Galaxy s10 5g SM-G977N, Android 12 OneUI 4.1 trying to root my phone using your video. But I have a question: where did you get the "Magisk Patched" file? Thank you in advance

Great Tutorial works without issue, I was wondering though. when you mean that I need to boot the phone with the usb cable connected for the root to work. Does that mean that I have to connect it to the pc and start Odin and then load magisk with the button combination each time? Or can I do it while it is connected to a charger?

Thank you for this wonderful, step-by-step work. Can we remove those alarms that open after opening the device?

Can you help me? I followed everything on this video but odin stucks on: get pit for mapping... I tried using a different cable and port, using an older version and using the latest version of odin, another pc. All usb drivers are up to date. As a test, I tried to reinstall the original firmware, I tried several versions, none of them worked.

i reseted all my settingz in the settings app and now magisk wont load even if i do your bixby button trick

If you get the "An Error Has Occurred While Updating The Device Software.. " watch this: An Error Has Occurred While Updating The Device Software

Does SAMSUNG Dex /desktop mode work perfectly /unaffected by rooting. Or is DEX lost as a result of the rooting. ((great vids. Been watching alot of your vids. Even if I don't pursue rooting... It's great to learn about rooting from your Channel))

very simple and easy to follow tutorial.

Unfortunatly it didn`t work for my Samsung S10e, I don`t have the OEM bootloader unlock option.

After some time for some reason, I can not load magisk at startup anymore. when I try, boot restart and boot normally without loading magisk, the phone is connected with de USB cable.

Hi there, can't find a reliable way to unlock bootloader on my S10e (SM-G970U) Snapdragon variant. Can you please guide me ?

is that root was work for samsung galaxy s10 japan version (scv41) android 12 one ui 4.1?

I'll send you a US version running Snapdragon and would really love to see do that without getting the strings to paste to unlock the bootloader from Samsung

Mate, geat tutorial. Thx so much. Really nice.

Great video! It worked for me, but I only after I changed the USB cable I was using to connect to the PC (the previous cable was fine for file transfer, but sometimes, when charging, it triggered some weird warning alert on the smartphone as if there were moisture in the USB connector). I have a question, though: if, in the future, I need to upgrade the Android firmware to a more recent release, what are the steps required to proceed with the update and still end up with a rooted phone? Thanks

Thank you , very clear explanation ! :)

The root worked for one time only. After that when I boot with the way you told, I don't gain root access.

it worked, thanks! phone is burning my fingers tho

Hi, and thank you for a very concise video - 1. question ...can i follow this tutorial if i have TWRP already installed on my phone ??

Thank you so much brother it's really helped me a lot..! Now .any methods to install custom recovery?

That was Awesome that was crystal clear thank you.

Thank you I got my S10 plus rooted, a very concise guide well explained for new users to magisk and root process. I have been using a custom ROM but soft bricked device by accident and now have to wait till they update to my firmware version. I could not go back to HVG4 from HVJ1 firmware release. Helped a long time root user and custom dev who dropped the ball lol. I blame senility

My Odin got stuck at modem.bin when flashing the .tar file. Is there any solution? Thank you so much for a very detailed instruction!

u r the man u let me root my note 10 plus n975f u8 12 thank you

bro at the end when u restart i shut it down n i clicked right buttons n it just got in loop

1. Every guide on youtube for S10, S10+, S10e root for Exynos model are outdated. Requires combination keys and usb plugged to phone and PC after phone restart or shutdown to keep magisk active. 2. Snapdragon model for S10, S10+, S10e, out of luck using root without combination keys. 3. Google the guide s10 root without combination keys ramdisk. 4. Root without combination keys running latest Android 12 firmware, March security patch 2023. No need combination keys and usb plugged to phone and PC after phone restart or shutdown to keep magisk active.

At step 18 where you're stuck in a bootloop and have to go into recovery mode, my galaxy S10 doesn't go into recovery mode when holding down the buttons and boots normally to the welcome screen, with a toast message saying PDP backup: success. Would you know how to fix this?

32GB storage happens if you don't format data after flash!

not working for me my phone might be bricked im lowkey freaking out

Thanks a lot, excellent video ! My goal is to back on Android 11 on my S10e. Once I'll have followed all the video steeps, before to install with Odin my official Android 11, I have to extract and correct all 4 original files (AP, BL, CL and CSC), back to steep 15 and charge all 4 files corrected with Odin, I'm well right ?

Every time I restart my phone I need to root it all over again because it wouldn’t load on boot, it just double boots and root checker says root is not downloaded properly

Help, when i download the files with odin3 it gets stuck at RADIO, what should i do

Mine doesn work :( Odin stops at dtbo.img and the green loading bar does not progress phone says pit-flash binary unsupported version S10e running android 12 u.i 4.1

I rooted on magisk 26 and everytime I have to restart my phone, even though I hold bixt, vol down and power, I loose my root after attaining root access 😢

there is no bootloader unlock option for me oem unlocking is not there in dev options

Hi, my device is s10+, my device has been using magisk correctly for 3-4 months, but today I update the module and I clicked on reboot at the bottom right corner of the installation screen and it got stuck with the message "Custom Binary(vbmeta) Blocked By R/L ". probably means reactivation lock, and I can't boot my system with magisk by pressing volume up key + bixby key + power buttonhow. Can I recover my device without losing data?

bro you are actually a legend. thank you so much❤❤❤

in step 21, letting go of the three buttons on the third screen doesn't work. it always brings me to the recovery screen, so when i boot without holding the buttons magisk doesnt initialise. any advice or help with this issue?

Hello, It´s an amazing video and tutorial. Please, let me ask you something. This tutorial works with a Galaxy S10 SM-G973F with Exynos processor? Thanks and congrats

I was this close to getting started! But I can't get past this issue. I found the tar / md5 image for my G973U, put it on the phone, installed the latest magisk and tried to begin the process as you showed, then when it failed I uninstalled it to install the version you used 25.1, but it said "app not installed" and then I tried to install the newest apk again and it said "app not installed" and no matter what I've deleted my phone just doesn't want to install magisk again. I don't understand.

Problem with Magisk patching the AP file. Once Maghisk has completed the installation flashing of the AP file. And has created the AP Magisk Patch. The AP Magisk Patch is in a zip compress file form. And Odin can not read it. so I extract the AP magisk Patched zip lock compress file. Odin still can not see this unlock extracted AP magisk patched file. So I can not root my S10 5G phone. Before Magisk Patched files would not be in a zip lock file. The Magisk Patched file would go into Odin AP slot directly. And My phone would be rooted. Now Odin can not see or read the completed AP Magisk Patch. What is the fix for this? What is the solution for the AP Magisk patch so Odin can read and use it for rooting a phone?

This all of sudden stops working after a while. Done everything and everything was running as it should until I restarted the phone. When trying to load magisk via the recovery mode, the phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo after holding down vol up+bixby+power as shown in the video. When booting as normal the phone starts without problems. Its only when booting in recovery mode this happens

My phone keeps saying blocked by oem lock, stuck on userdata on odin what do i do?

I don't even have to watch this to tell you you're falsely giving people hope by saying "ALL samsung s10 series can be rooted." We don't all by our phones outside of North America. It's just a bad look and annoying seeing people constantly saying the same thing. North American snapdragon phones are not oem unlockable!

You can click reboot in magisk app to reboot in magisk mode.

Not working on samsung s10 5g android 12. Stuck in modem.bin

No one seems to have a video doing this process on Linux 😢

i see does it works on android 11, 3.1 one ui (snapdragon)

Any tutorials for ui 5.1 note10lite running android 13?😢😢😢

Quick question, If I root my s10 will I loose my personal data and anything that's on my phone

U really should be specific about what version u have..urs is a international version and not us version running Snapdragon...

thanks a lot man, new subs + like

Hello @Explaining Android, I followed your tutorial a while ago. Everything went well. But I just tried updating magisk and now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Any help is greatly(!) apreciated!!

i just unrooted my phone and it no longer detect my sim card and it had change to the korea version i noticed my AP & CP where the same but my CSC was the international i'd like to root it back to it original state so is there a way to root your phone and change only CSC

Can I update the phone somehow to newest OTA update? Upon updating it says registration failed.

When I reboot, my magisk don't hide. How to fix?

the tutorial was really nice.. But we both have the same problem. the Ramdisk is not booted with magisk which makes various programs(termux) not function.. I checked magisk on github and they said we just need to make the Recovery Start which u do in the video but its not working with the "ramdisk" section.. You got a solution for that yet ? thx

Best video explaining thanks man

I have rooted my cellphone with magisk like the tutorial that was given but there was a problem when I charged my cellphone it was off after the cellphone came back to life the magik root was gone, to return it I did it again to connect to the laptop, how about this bro

What are the main reasons to root modern phones in 2022?

My SM-G975F got stuck on userdata.img while it was running odinv3 and it said failed and now it is saying An error has occurred while updating the device software. It also says Custom Binary(VBmeta) Blocked by OEM Lock. Is there anyway to bring it back?

does other Androids has the same problem in rebooting by usb connection & pressing buttons together ?? or its just all galaxy serieses have that problem ?? or just S10 series has that problem ??

HELP. Got Stuck in Bootloop and cant get into the Recovery Mode... I switched cables but nothing works...

So can official updated Samsung ROM be installed once root is established?

Please help, whenever i start the odin, the progress will stop 1/4 of the process. i followed everything

Wait I have to connect my phone to the computer every time I want to gain access? I restarted my phone, saw I didn't have root so I powered it off and did the button combination. I still don't have root.

and every time i boot up my phone i need to hold 3 buttons thing?
