SM-A505GT, latest update (Android 11). Where can I find a safe root guide? - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

I can't find any guide for this model (SM-A505GT)
Any help is much appreciated

Also i could not find a full guide for a505f. They all pass some steps. I guess unlocking the boatloader is the first step. But all guides starting with "make sure the oem is greyed out" how to do that. If there were understandable guides stey by step, many people would root. We need guides like explaning a child. 1,2,3.... with all steps. And i see that many people having issues with custom roms. Is it possible to root stock rom ? Android 11 ui 3.1. I just wanna have root access.

Custom ROM questions (no Google Apps)

Hey, all! I am very new here, although I always use this forum as reference, including for my previous smartphones: Xpera Z3 Dual and Galaxy S3.
But now I have a Pixel 2 XL (taimen) with the latest stock ROM (February 9, 2019 Android 9 Pie). I want a Custom ROM with no Google apps included whatsoever, could somebody help me out and give some directions? I have spent hours trying to flash a CarbonROM with no success. I don't want root, I just don't want Google Apps. A few questions:
- Is unlocking the bootloader mandatory to flash any Custom ROM?
- If I am on Android 9 Pie and the custom ROM is based on 8 Oreo, is it mandatory to flash the Oreo factory image from Google? If so, can I do it by simply using the OTA sideloading? I couldn't flash with the fastboot script.
- Is TWRP mandatory in this case? Is root mandatory?
I am really thankful for this community and appreciate any help you can give me.

Hey. I think this is widely discussed elsewhere. Just search for "MIUI Android 9 vs MIUI Android 10" in Google or YouTube. You'll find way more information there than you would ever find here regarding such generic topics. Have fun ?

Root OneUI 3.0

Is there a guide for rooting oneui 3.0, i´m asking this question because oneui 2.x has android 10
Did you found solution to root android 11?
I know for android 10 but not for 11.
I manage to root tricking the lz4 files which is the new type of extension in Android and for this you can not root in a normal way. I followed this guide
Fix Oreo Firmware Installation Issue in Odin for Samsung Devices - DroidViews
Android Oreo has finally made its way to Samsung's latest S series flagships, the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The Oreo update brings with it the usual Android Oreo features such as Picture-in-Picture, redesigned Settings app, etc. It also brings with it Samsung Experience 9.0 which is but a fancier name…
www.droidviews.com
After having the 4 stock files modified without lz4 you must flash them with Odin.
After you take the modified AP file and patch it with Magisk.
Then you flash again stock using the patched AP file and the rest of modified files but you must not select autoreboot in Odin. When the flashing is done you must exit download mode and imediatelly enter in Recovery mod but better use this guide

Install LineageOs 18.1 on a Samsung Galaxy S10e running Android 12

Hi all.
I already asked this question on the Samsung S10e forum without luck. I hope to find some help here, please be patient with me
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10e, model SM-G970F/DS, that is currently running Samsung's official Android 12. LineageOS 18.1 install documentation tells me that Android 10 or 11 is required to proceed with the installation. I don't think it is possible downgrade the phone to Android 11 (correct me if I'm wrong).
What do I risk if I attempt the LineageOS 18.1 installation? How "unbrickable" is this device?
It would be safer to install this LineageOS 19 beta https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-you-for-s10e-s10-s10-s10-5g-exynos.4346535/ ?
Thanks in advance for any hint!
I'm long gone from Samsung, but downgrading should be possible with Odin. Quick Google search gave me this guide: https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-samsung-one-ui-4-0-to-one-ui-3-1/
I recommend using Sammobile for rom download. Should get you started.
Your other questions I have no answer.

Trying to downgrade to Android 8 or preferably 7 with Odin

I have long tried to downgrade my phone SM-G955F to Android 8 or 7.
I have tried many different firmwares but they all seem to fail on installing the new bootloader. I can always recover back to Android 9 using a collection of files called AP_G955FXXUCDUD1_CL21427293_QB39365969_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a ROM running android 8 or 7 that I can root.
Essentially I do not care if it is stock rom as long as I can root the device. I have successfully rooted my devices running android 9 using magisk but the essence is that I need to run android 8 or 7 and being able to use google chrome as a browser.
Any help is much appreciated
Best regards,
Erik
I thought I might have answered my own question. So in order to help other in the same situation I will post my findings.
Looking at related posts on XDA Dev Forum I found the following article, that seem to fit my needs.

So I downloaded the zip file and unpacked it in hopes of finding files compatible with Odin. But they were not. So what I did was install my android 9 OS that I found that was working and then rooted it using TWRP and Magisk, which is quite simple.

Hi,
1) Download the .zip file of the light ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/s8-s8-nougat-01-jan-2020-v30-lightrom.3636154/
Then magisk.zip, search it on the internet.
2) Flash the ROM via a custom recovery
3) Then flash magisk.zip
4) Reboot
It will work for sure with Nougat or Oreo, with any Binary number.
You can downgrade with a custom ROM, not stock.
Lastly don't use Odin but a custom recovery !
