Develop Bugs

Rooted. Now have no access to the google play store. Someone please help!

NEWBEE here with a big problem (I bet everyone loves hearing that:cyclops
So I rooted my device using the instructions listed below. I get to the point where I am suppose to install busy box and I am unable to access the google play store (it says server error) I have also tried downloading it through the web browser. It says that it is downloaded but cannot find it in the downloads folder or in my applications.
I have also tried installing the rom. I get the following: installing update.. assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "d2att" I ! getprop ("ro.build.product.device") == "d2att" E: error in /sdcard/cm-10-20120829-NIGHTLY - d2aa.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
I have also tried other roms but have had no luck. This problem has been driving me mad. ANY ADVICE QOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
THANK YOU ALL!
First off, let me say that I did not develop this stuff and all thanks should go to those that did. Special thanks to noobnl, mskip and TeamEpic for all their work.
They made this for Sprint version and i compiled it into a bootimg with out kernel to flash in odin... Why did i do this? simple.. if u bricked flashing another kernel from a different Device (i9300) this will fix it.
So here we go.
This is first to Restore to Stock Kernel For root See below.

1. Download and install the Samsung USB drivers from Samsung's website
2. Turn on Debugging on your Phone
* Open Settings
* Select "Developer options" in the System section
* Check the box for "USB Debugging"
3. Plug you phone up to your computer using the USB cable and allow the drivers to install.
4. Download CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip from the bottom of this post
* I recommend making yourself a nice little GS3 folder in your downloads folder for all this stuff so it's easy to find
* DO NOT UNZIP!!
5. Copy CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip on to the Root of your GS3s INTERNAL storage (if you put it into a folder, you may have a hard time finding it later, but that's on you).
* DO NOT UNZIP!!
6. Unplug you phone
7. Power off your phone
^^ once u have now odin time......
1. Download Odin3-v3.04 from the bottom of this post
2. Extract Odin3-v3.04 into it's own folder somewhere where you can easily find it.
3. Download fixboot.tar from the bottom of this post to somewhere you can easily find it.
4. Reboot your phone into download mode
* Hold down Volume Down, Home and then power until Warning!! message is displayed
* Press Volume Up to continue.
5. Your phone should now be in download mode and displaying a green Android and say Downloading. If it is not, power off your phone by holding down the power button and then try to get into Download mode again. Do NOT progress until you have done so.
6. Go into the folder you extracted Odin3 into and run Odin3 v3.04.exe
7. Connect your phone to your computer via USB

9. Click on PDA and in the Open window that pops up navigate to and open the fixboot.tar file you downloaded earlier
10. Verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked
11. Click Start. Once the process is completed you device should automatically reboot and there will be a green PASS! box in the upper left of the window. You can then close Odin.
** now u have Stock Kernel Now flash Recovery img from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...0&d=1340384923
Root Method Starts Here.
** Get Odin like mentioned Above
** Make Sure you have all Samsung Drivers installed.
** Reboot your phone into download mode
* Hold down Volume Down, Home and then power until Warning!! message is displayed
* Press Volume Up to continue.
** Your phone should now be in download mode and displaying a green Android and say Downloading. If it is not, power off your phone by holding down the power button and then try to get into Download mode again. Do NOT progress until you have done so.
** Go into the folder you extracted Odin3 into and run Odin3 v3.04.exe
** Connect your phone to your computer via USB
** In Odin, the COM box all the way to the left should turn blue and it should say Added!! in the Message area.

** Verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked
** Click Start. Once the process is completed you device should automatically reboot and there will be a green PASS! box in the upper left of the window. You can then close Odin.
** Power off your device and boot into Recovery mode
* To boot into Recovery mode: Hold down Volume Up, Home and then the Power button until you are in Recovery (it should say CWM-based Recovery at the top of the screen)
**. Install CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip that you copied onto your internal memory
* Navigating ClockWorkMod Recovery: Use the Volume Up and Down arrow keys to change the highlighted option and the home key to select an option. The Back softkey works, but will not be lit and will take you back one screen.
Installing a zip:
* Select "Install zip from sdcard" (Yes, I know it's on the internal storage.)
* Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
* Select the zip you want to install; in this case CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip
* Select "Yes" to begin installing
**. Once the process has completed use the Back arrow to get back to the main recovery screen (remember, it works, but it's not lit) and select "reboot system now." Once your device boots up you should now be 'Rooted,' but there's still a few more things to be done
15. Install BusyBox. There are actually several ways to do this, but the BusyBox app in the Google Play Market is quick and easy. Install it, grant it SuperUser permissions and it'll walk you through the rest and advise you when to update.

I would advise you to find the stock firmware for your device, put your device in download mode and flash stock via odin. Then factory reset so you are back to default Samsung and see if the Play Store works and if it does use the toolkit by mskip to root, install busybox and CWM.

try googling around?

[Q] Need some help on flashing rom.

O.k my wife got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 when they first came out I bought it for her and it has this rom build on it l747UCALG1 and mine which I just bought about three days ago have this build on it l747UCALH9. Her build I was able to root if need be but my phone I can't and I am already on 2 count of the custom binary and I can't reset it since some how I can't root the phone the developers are seeing all of this stuff that we are doing to the phones and I believe they are trying to stop us. But anyway can some one tell me since I have a copy of her stock Firmware how can I just flash my phone or what have you with her stock firmware which is l747UCALG1 so I can root my phone. Also if you don't mind please leave me a clear step-by-step way to do it and if it works without doing any damage at all to my phone, and if I want to later go back to the stock that is on my phone now I can but I don't think I will unless I have to send or take it in ever for warranty repair or just sale it. If this works right leave me your e-mail or if you have a paypal account give me that address or what have you and I will send you a donation.. (Thanks)

How to Revert to Old Firmware & Root Newest Release -
Hello and welcome to XDA.
I understand your concern to root your device especially with it being on the latest firmware, but I will do my best in order to explain every step to you in the utmost detail. I am currently on I747UCLH9 with a Custom ROM. Meaning I kept the Modem & Bootloader and kicked the Kernel and Firmware. Before I begin, I would like to ask you to thank to all the Developers / Posters who made & put this content together as this would not be possible without them. I will link all of their original posts at the end of this. Be sure to give credit to every one of them and please make sure to give thanks to them. I take absolutely NO CREDIT for any of these links/steps whatsoever. I simply researched and compiled them in order to help you. With that being said, let us begin.
Before anything you must remember this. After you are finished downloading whatever items you need, you MUST (and I cannot stress this enough) FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE. Reason being is because a lot of other people have tried this same process of downgrading without wiping and ended up getting startup boot errors. Be sure to NOT sign into your Google account. This is just a warning, follow the steps below to know when you should begin this process.
All files you download should be saved on your desktop. Personally I prefer to make a separate folder for these kind of delicate things. Keeps it organized so you don't forget where you are.
Make sure your phone IS NOT plugged in to your computer as of right now & you have NO external SD card.
Now;
Let's begin.
Before you start be sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. Which you can get from Samsung's website or here.
Samsung USB Drivers
Also be sure that you have WinRAR installed as well which you can get right here.
WinRAR
To be on the VERY SAFE side you must download ADB (Android SDK). What you must do is when it asks you for where you would like to install it, you MUST ONLY CLICK "Local Disk C:" . AND THATS IT. The best thing is to keep it here so when you have to execute a command line, it will be very simple. You will have a folder called "android" here. THAT IS YOUR ADB FOLDER. You will understand what I mean shortly. *Note* this is for CWM-T (ClockworkMod Touch).
Android SDK
1. Download the stock rooted LG1 Firmware. I747UCLG1 Stock + Root Only.
2. Right-Click the LG1 Firmware you just downloaded and extract it. It is currently root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z ; the extraction process will turn it into the correct .tar file (Flashable file type with Odin)
3. Now that you have the Stock ROM, you need..well ODIN! Here's the link. Odin 3.07.
4. Since it is in .zip format you need to extract this as well. You will end up with 4 files. Right-Click on the Odin3 v3.07.exe and run it as administrator. Now you are at the Odin screen with nothing there -_-".
5. Factory reset your phone. Just let it boot up but DO NOT sign into your Google account, just click through skip everything head straight to your Settings, then Developer Options & make sure USB Debugging is enabled/checked. Back out of your settings completely and you are at the home screen.
6. Now, just hit the power button and turn your device off. After it is completely turned off hold the Volume Down + Home button. While holding these 2. Press and hold the Power button. You should now be holding all three buttons at the same time waiting for a green lettered screen to come on (Download Mode). Use the phone keys to select the option to continue. Your phone will now say Downloading, do not turn off device. (Or along those lines).
7. After selecting the option that sends your phone to the screen with the text "Downloading, Do not turn off device." You should be holding your phone in hand with USB plugged into your computer but your device is not connected. Odin is open on your computer screen with nothing still. From here just plug your phone in and you will see a pop-up in the first box of many under the Odin logo which says "COM: #".(#: Being a select number of your device. This is of no importance, as long as you see this pop up.) Once you see this your phone will be ready to be flashed back. Just click the PDA button and browse to the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar file. (Be sure you click the .tar and not the .zip.)
8. Check to make sure no other boxes should be checked except for Auto-Reboot.
9. Press Start and wait for the process to finish.
10. Everything should go through fine and your phone will start back up and you will be on LG1. You are now on stock firmware BUT rooted. Unplug your phone, Skip past everything once again and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Keep your phone unplugged & don't forget to close ODIN.
Now before you do anything. You need a Custom Recovery AKA CWM. Well in this case we will be installing the latest touch version.
11. Download the latest ClockworkMod Touch from here. This link is saved in a way specifically from their website. You can either go to www.clockworkmod.com and browse the ROM Manager tab for the 6.0.1.4 Recovery. OR you can just right click the link provided right here and press "Save As..." this file will come up and asked to be saved as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.4-d2att.img. RENAME IT AS "recovery.img" without the quotes & save it.
ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.4
12. Now that you have this file. Plug in your phone to your computer and in the root folder of your phone storage and copy the recovery.img file to it; which is the first folder that pops up when you press open when you plug your phone in. (Remember no SD CARDS!)
13. Now, click the Start button on your taskbar and in the search bar type cmd. Now you will see cmd.exe; press enter and you will see the Command Prompt open. If you saved the Android SDK the way I told you to, you can copy and paste the line below. If you saved it somewhere else you can change the folder simply by browsing to the android folder. Make sure you click on the "platform-tools" folder. NOT the "platform" folder. Also whichever directory it is you must add a "\" at the end so it will find the location correctly.
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
14. Now you are in the directory time to run ADB Shell and flash that recovery! Copy and paste or type the following; I recommend you copy and paste the last line as it gets tricky. After the SU command your phone will be detected.
First you type adb shell
following that su
and finally dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
As you can see in the last command it is named recovery.img there are no special characters or numbers or symbols to mess with the flashing. After you run this command you will an output similar to the following.
14004+0 records in
14004+0 records out
7170048 bytes transferred in 1.430 secs (5014019 bytes/sec)
Finish up this step with the following command
reboot recovery
15. Your device will now restart and head straight into recovery. Congrats you now have LG1 Stock + Root with CWM-T. Unplug the USB and press "Reboot System".
TO UPGRADE BACK TO LH9 WITH ROOT AND CWM-T
Before I begin.
You must remember that this step REQUIRES you download 4 files to go on the root of your phone memory. Your phone should now be on the home screen. Plug it in and open your phone memory. With that being said you need the following files. The Rom, Modem, Bootloader, and Kernel. You will be flashing them in this following order as well.
16. Download the following pieces and save them to the root of your phone's memory. Be sure to remember which file has what name so when you enter the recovery you aren't lost as to which to flash first.
I747UCLH9 ROM Download
I747UCLH9 Modem Download
I747UCLH9 Bootloader Download
I747UCLH9 Kernel Download
17. After everything has finished transferring, remove the phone from the computer and turn your phone. Remember how you got into download mode? Well instead of holding Volume Down + Home, you hold Volume Up + Home. While holding these two press and hold your power button until you see it says Samsung Galaxy S III. If you look at the top left hand of the screen while it's JUST turning on. You will see some blue text flash. When you see that you know your entering the recovery and can release the buttons.
18. You are back at the recovery. You must now do the following. Touch the options as I list them. Follow these steps precisely.
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Yes -- Delete all user data
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
+++++Go Back+++++
- Install Zip from SD Card
- Choose zip from SD Card
Now choose them in the following order, ROM, Modem, Bootloader, and finally Kernel.
WAIIIITTTTTTTT! After you are finished flashing the Kernel you MUST do the following. Click options as I state them.
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced
- Fix Permissions
+++++Go Back+++++
Reboot System
19. Wait for your phone to reboot and NOW you can sign into your Google account. Go past everything go into your App drawer first and check for Superuser/SuperSU once you see that, go into your settings and check your ROM, Modem, Bootloader, Kernel. Yes. They are bone stock with root. Congrats you achieved maximum upgrade with root.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I don't accept donations I simply did it to help those who wanted/needed it

I do not see the 4 download links for the ROM, Modem, Bootloader and Kernel. Can you post them.

I will fix the links but if you simply look at the people / threads I have given credit to at the bottom of my guide you will see drothenberger's thread. He has the original links there. Mind you, you MUST scroll down to the part where it says "PIECES:" and download following his links. Don't worry I will re-post them accordingly.

Does upgrading from rooted LH9 from a rooted LG1 trip flash counter since we are installing 4 separate files instead of 1 .tar?
thanks!

Maybe an Idiots guide to Flashing (smt210/smt210R)

IDIOT GUIDE (I am the idiot)
This guide is aimed at the Samsung Tab 3 7.0 (SMT210/SMT210R)
I am I suppose still a newbie to the android world and a starter with rooting etc (but I do have a linux background) All the terms that appear technical are explained below.(see below)
The aim was to root (see below), my Samsung SMT210 (Ie TAB 3 7.0) and install a new Kernel (see below) and a new ROM (see below). Why you may ask, The standard SMT210 is slow, it has many programs that I don't want (Bloatware) and it runs down the battery so fast.
The first consideration when making any changes to phones or tablets is your BACKUP. There are loads of backup apps available for android, however if your device is not rooted you can only backup your data, contacts etc. The main system is not backed up. So the first priority is a too make a backup of everything, this will involve flashing (see below) your device.
I must add that I rooted my tablet before I did backups, since I had made no changes to the tablet before I rooted it, Ie it was out of the box. I rooted my phone by flashing a prerooted firmware from (Jaimison904) http://d-h.st/leL]prerooted.tar.md5 the instructions for flashing are the same as the flashing procedure for the recovery app.
Before doing anything make sure the tablet has at least 80% battery capacity left, if not charge it.
Additionally stop your display turning off, I normally set the display to a 30 min wait point.
Backing up / creating a recovery
This can be done in 1 of 2 ways with a computer, 1. using Odin (See below) for windows, 2. using Heimdall (see below) for Linux. I will concentrate on Odin as with Linux I feel that it's a bit complicated for newbies (or geriatrics like myself).
A useful tip before you start is to install Kies (see below) and make sure you get your computer to connect to your tablet (when this works the USB drivers will already be installed on your computer)
Another tip which might help is that you should create a directory for all your android & system files on you computer.
First you will need to download a copy of Odin (I have used 3.07) unzip it to your special directory.
Install Samsung USB drivers (see above)
Download a recovery app (see below) I used Philz_touch, download the xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file put it in the directory you created. http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi
Download the new RocketTab 3.1 (developed by Tempdroid) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507772 Read the first section of the thread and the see the various options etc.
Download Blackhawk kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439564&highlight=root
Having downloaded all the above files please check the MD5 sums (this a file check that makes sure the files are not corrupted during the download process, it should be done for all downloaded files whatever they are)
We are now ready to start:
Please watch this video and thanks to Rootjunky.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XolmtyvS3Yk
1.Power off your tablet
2.Close all programs on your PC
3.Start Odin 3.07 by clicking on the .exe file in the directory you setup (it appears after you unzipped)
4.Start your tablet in download mode (Hold Home, volume down and power, release with warning, then vol up)
5.Connect you tablet to the PC via the usb cable
6.Wait until Odin says device connected
7.Click on the PDA button and browse your computer until you find the Phil_touchxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file and click on it.
8.Make sure that the only box that is ticked in Odin is F. Reset Time DOUBLE CHECK......
Then click start.
9.Wait until you see the green/blue PASS / RECOVERY box. The recover software will have been loaded.
10.Do not shutdown yet, remove the usb cable
11.Boot into Recovery mode, by holding home button, volume up, and power button, until the Samsung Galaxy tab3 logo appears and release the power button while still holding the home and volume up buttons until you see the software load.
At this point it is a good idea to create a backup either on the internal memory(called an sd card) or the external sd card (2 sd cards Confusing or what)
Just follow the instructions on the screen, be patient these things take time sometimes a few minutes.
Now I recommend that you reboot your device just select the menu option on the first screen and allow the device to restart, you shouldn't notice any difference from before you started.
Go to google play and download and install SUSuper user. (it won't work at the moment)
You are now ready to start rooting your device, there are a number of ways of doing this but I recommend that you flash prerooted.tar.md5 with Odin. The reason for this is that it allows you to explore your device and learn where files are stored and use apps with root access, freeze stock applications and generally test how things work without having changed the orginal system significantly.
So start the device in download mode and flash prerooted.tar.md5 with Odin in just the same way as you flashed Philz_touchxxx.tar.md5.
MAKE A BACKUP to recover from if something goes wrong.
When you are ready to change to RocketTab 3.1 and or the Blackhawk kernel follow the following:
Transfer the 2 zip files you downloaded (RocketTab3.1.zip and blackhawk-kernel-2.1-t210.zip) to the internal sd card, it is much safer than trying to load from the external card.
Restart your tablet in recovery mode (Home, Volume up and power buttons)
Choose full wipe (formatting system, data, cache and etc) which removes old system files and other things to allow a clean base on which to install your new files.
choose install from zip.
Scroll down and there is "don't allow old update-binary", it is checked by default and you just uncheck it. You will get an error if this is not done (Many thanks Ripshock)
Install zip from sdcard Rockettab3.1.
I then do another backup / recovery
Then Install zip from sdcard Blackhawk
Wait until done then reboot and start adjusting your settings as normal and enjoy the speed and reduced use of the battery.
I hope this proves useful to somebody, any comments would be appreciated and will include what updates are reasonable. I might add that I am not liable in any way shape or form for any damage that you may do, the above worked on a number of devices without problems.
Enjoy a new faster android device.
TERMS
Bloatware
Most of the rubbish that your provider preloaded on your tablet, eg games, Themes, help center etc
Download mode
Download mode, is the mode with which you can flash you system with Odin, Heimdall etc. To enter this mode hold the home button down and press the volume down and the power buttons together until you get the warning message, then release all buttons and press the up volume button. You will then see a screen saying Downloading with the green Android figure.
Flashing
Flashing is the method of uploading system software to your phone or tablet.
Heimdall
A phone or tablet flashing software that works on multiple pc platforms, ie Linux, windows and Mac
Keis
The Samsung connection software for windows. (only works on windows as Samsung doesn't support Linux)
Kernel
The kernel is the effectivly a translating module which converts instructions from the software to instructions that the hardware understands. So it controls the way that the hardware functions with the software that is installed.
Odin
Odin is a flashing software that was developed by Samsung which has been leaked to the internet. I used version 3.07. When you download this zip file you will need to unzip it to a convenient directory. Odin works with xxx.tar.md5 files NOT .zip files or .img files
Recovery app
There are two main recovery apps available CWM (Clockwordmod) and TWRP, I used a variation of CWM called Philz_Touch (Credit to Phil3759) which is an extremely good recovery system, easy to use and very powerful, but the basic CWM and TWRP versions can be used as well.
The Philz_touch download link for the SMT210 is http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi
Recovery mode
The mode accessed by holding Home, Volume up and power button, which enables you to create recovery files and to flash your device using .zip files etc with CWM or similar without a PC.
Root / Rooting
Term to enable access to the system files on your phone or tablet. Read further on the Internet. Basically it allows you to at one extreme to totally destroy your device or at the other extreme to totally customize and speed up your device to make the whole experience much better.
So rooting allows access to the system files which control the device at a level which allows customization. Root is the term used to describe the user who has access to the system files.

Not bad. I do not have that device but I have done a few Roots/Roms/Recoveries so I understand the work flow. I would just make one minor change. On step 4 you tell the reader to do something, then you say "(see below)". At that point the reader has now stopped everything to try and find "below". I would recommend to keep the reader's attention directly on the task at hand and place steps on how to perform a function.
3. ...
4.Start your tablet in download mode.
a. Press the Home, Vol Down, and Power keys together.
b. Remain until the device logo appears then release.
5. ...
Also, I do not believe one has to be rooted to load TWRP or CWM (not sure if these are compatible with your device). Backups and restores can be performed with these tools. But again, I do not think one needs to be rooted at this point.
Just my thoughts.

Thanks, I have edited the various lines, as to CWM and TWRP you are quite right you don't need to be rooted, but I wasn't, the tab was only rooted after the recovery flash was done.
For info the tab 3 7.0 is compatible with CWM and TWRP but the Philz_touch advanced edition is a major improvement on the normal CWR version which is why I chose it, the interface and functionality is greatly improved.

[Guide] How to root your Samsung Galaxy A10 with Magisk [SM-A105xx]

THIS MIGHT WORK FOR YOUR DEVICE BUT IF ANY DAMAGE IS DONE TO YOUR DEVICE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE! AND THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON A10. [SM-A105, SM-A107 AND MORE]
1. You need to install the exact firmware for your model onto your PC. [I recommend a website called updato or install samware and get the firmware there.]
2. Install Odin 3.14.1. If you already have it go to the next step.
3. Unlock your bootloader. If you have done this please go to the next step but if not please go to 3.a
3a. !UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE! - Go to settings and go to about phone, then tap the build number until a message comes on the bottom of the screen saying "You are now a developer!" or something close to that. Go to developer settings by going back to the settings menu and scrolling all the way down to see it. After going to developer options turn on "OEM Unlocking" and tap allow. Also just in case turn on USB Debugging. After that turn off your device. After your phone is turned off press "Volume Up"+ "Volume Down" and plug in a USB from your PC simultaneously, you should see a splash screen with a warning.

Odin keeps crashing when it is nearly complete
I have done this yet however it crashes when I follow your steps with a text box like "Odin Downloader has stop working". I have even gone to the extent where I have turned the magisk_patched.tar into a .tar.md5 file and still the same old error. How do I fix it?
If you require more info, I have a sm-a105fn/ds running android 9. Whenever it is on the "userdata" stage in odin, it crashes. I am using Odin 3 v3.13.1

error in boot and go back to download mode
Not working

I tried and once the flashing was done it rebooted to Download Mode instead and says "error verifying vbmeta image ok_not_signed (3)"

I'm sorry, I wasn't copying as I thought of it myself but you're right it has the same steps as afanehs thread. Your thread is more organized and mine doesn't fix the 16gb issue that i had. I'm sorry for the inconvenience

Tell me what this applies to Turkey? So can I install android 11 with the method you explained in the 3rd row?

Got updated to UI 3.0 android 11 ota and updated

I rooted my Android 10 M31 with Magisk using the Magisk image patching method so now my phone is everything stock + magisk root (no custom kernel or recovery) and a few root applications/modules such as Vanced, ViperFX and adAway.
Oddly enough, I have received a push notification from Samsung about the availability of the Android 11 update. But I don't feel safe to OTA update my phone because of root. So is there any way I can update it without losing any data and without losing root?
Thanks in advance!
