Doubts how to root Samsung A50 sm-a505fn - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

I want to root sm-a505fn, I already rooted some phone so I am familiar with TWRP and Odin.
First thing, why isn't the A50 listed on the TWRP page? there are only Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 (Exynos) (a5xelte) and Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (a5y17lte).
I have read about the OEM unlock, however didn't understand if I have to disable (grayed out) it or not, since some tutorial say different things.
At the end I tried with this fw, but it doesn't work. W or w/o OEM Lock, I get blocked by oem lock . Odin does not complete, it is stuck on VBMETA RQT_CLOSE !!.
Maybe because of the locked bootloader? I was wandering why in each tutorial I find press volume up to unlock the bootloader but when I restart the phone in recovery mode, I don't find that screen, but the following one. After I select Reboot to bootloader I get in download mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Other tutorials say to power the phone with VOL UP + VOL DOWN, but does not power on at all...
Phone Info:
One UI VersionOneUI2.0Android Version10Product codeITVPDAA505FNXXU5BTL3CSCA505FNOXM5BTL1
Need explain please.
Thx

At the end I have been able to unlock the bootloader and install the TWRP from this guide, but:
- no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 fails to install
- multidisabler-samsung-2.2 gets installed but don't know how to check it...
- Magisk-21.2(21200).zip gets installed from TWRP but does not result to be installed on the phone
- MagiskManager-v8.0.4 from phone get installed, but even if the installed version results to be last available, it proposes to install it. Furthermore i do not have the option to direct install Magisk (the third option)...
Could the problem be the wrong version of TWRP?

[help] cannot boot into TWRP or ROM after flashing autorec TWRP

I have two G3 D855 phones and what i did was exactly the same as my primary one, and it's not working
For the secondary phone
1) everything was perfect after I changed 32GB chips (ROM, my friend flashed something wrong and hard bricked the device) from repair shop, but I just lost the IMEI, so it's showing 0 currently (i know i can repair but don't bother yet)
2) phone is normal in 6.0MM nor I use LGUP to downgrade to 5.0 LP
3) used "newest root method v03" from there to root the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
4) go to playstore, download AutoRec D855 to install TWRP
5) problem starts here
once i reboot to TWRP using reboot widget, or adb command, i can go into TWRP, but phone stuck in LG logo after another reboot
To boot up the OS again, I have to take out the battery for 10+ min, then insert it again and it will boot up, and i can also go into TWRP from the OS
or if i turn off device, I cannot boot up, not until i take out the battery for 10+ min
I have flashed the phone using KDZ twice and same problem, after install TWRP from AutoRec, I have this bootup problem.
Any help please?

Tab 3 GT-P5210 Failed Root

Hi, I tried to use Odin to root my Galaxy Tab 3 GT-P5210 (Build KOT49H.P5210UEU0CNK1), and it said "Passed" on Odin, but my tablet is now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" startup screen (it won't boot). Is there a way to remedy this? Also, I can't seem to download any TWRP files, it gets blocked by the antivirus saying that a virus has been detected in the file. The only other option I can access is when I press Volume Down and Power at the same time, it goes into ODIN Mode on my tablet.
Thanks
Try to flash bootloader (BL) with Odin, CSC is not needed but it doesn't hurt to flash it with BL.
In this file, CSC (Country/Carrier Specific Code) is for US region
http://www.mediafire.com/file/c224oin6adfqisg/GT-P5210(2).rar
If it doesn't work, try to flask BL, and AP with Odin.
The stock ROM ( AP ) is here, and Cellular South is for US region
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5210/
I rarely fail when flash Stock Rom with its bootloader ( BL )

Hi
Is it still possible to root my Tab 3 P5210? And then flash a custom rom of android 6 upwards?
It currently runs on android 4.4.2 but im not sure if that was the version it was purchased with originally. I tried recently when i followed instructions from another thread on here but i soft bricked my device (same as OP - passed on odin, tab stuck on loading screen), although i did recover it back to its previous state eventually. I was using the latest Odin V13, but im not sure if the version of android or odin version needed to be specified for using the right apk files?

Samsung Galagy Tab S4 stuck after rooting ? what i did wrong ?

Hello !
i think i messed up a little with my T830 and now it's kinda stuck on the bootscreen.
i wanted to root it so , i followed an online tutorial but it looks like i did something wrong.
here is the steps i followed :
i installed The Samsung USB drivers
i installed Odin
i sat my tablet in the " OEM Unlock " and forced the download mode in order to install the patched boot.tar in the AP mode in odin 3. the Flash was sucessfull.
once it was done, i installed the " twrp-3.6.2_9-0-gts4lwifi.img.tar " via Odin in AP mode for my tablet, in order to have access to the twrp menu but it don't work.
( the flash was sucessfull )
Now my tablett is stuck on this screen and the only thing i can do is to reboot it.
i can't boot it in download mode anymore.
i guess the last file i flashed was corupted or innapropriate ? but i don't really understand what i did wrong. my tablett is the SM-T830, so it should work fine ?
i'm kind of worry because Odin and adb don't see my tablett anymore and i don't have access to the Download mode anymore.
[Update: sometimes i manage to have Access to the Download mode ( but it's really tricky ) and i can see my tablett on Odin 3, my tablett still can't boot on Android. I don't know what file i need to flash in order to fix my problem ! Help :I ]
[ Update2: i managed to download the stock rom via Frija, and installed it, but my tablet is not rooted anymore, it's still better than nothing i guess ]

Galaxy Tab S4 stuck at boot after trying to root

Hello together
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 according to https://appuals.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-s4/
There I came up to step 10 (so I flashed the two files). Now the Tablet is kind of stuck in the boot screen showing this (the same for step 8 and 10 but at step 10 i lost the ability to get to the download mode):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only thing possible is to gamble a bit with the keys power, volume up and down to get the yellow sign in the top left showing "kernel" instead of "recovery". Otherwise if I press all three buttons together the following screen comes:
I am a complete noob in that kind of things and got no idea what to do now. There is no possibility to open the download mode to revert something, neither TWRP is shown as it should according to the Description in Link above. If possible I dont want to get anything deleted. What can I do?
EDIT: If possible I still want to root the tablet because I only see advantages in it, even I never found a good (explanatory) tutorial on it.
kind regards

Ok as I was very impatient and tried a bit, the blue screen is actually the "ODIN Download Mode". I reinstalled the stock firmware (loosing all data) (and rooted the device with Magisk later on) so the sm-t830 works perfectly again.

Which guide did you follow and what firmware are you using?
