Question Is rooting this worth it or is it still giving people trouble? - Samsung Galaxy A32 4G

haven't been able to find many posts on how to actually root the A32 (mine's SM-A325M/DS) but I've been seeing some about people saying that some time after rooting their A32s their IMEI disappears.
Can anyone give me an update on this and a tutorial on how to root it in case it's now possible to do it without issues?
Thanks in advance for the help

This was a problem with older versions of magisk and is fixed. The imei does not dissapear anymore. So theres no problem anymore. If your still unsure you can try kernelsu an alternative to magisk. I have a thread for it in a32's thread.

So my wife's D850 G3 got Marshmallow

Anyone else get it? Any new things to look for?
Yes see if when she makes a call if her screen goes to sleep and she can't hang up the call due to the black screen...thank you. That's my only issue with the update.

When updating to a big android update (Lollipop - Marshmallow) it's always best to do a factory reset afterwards because bugs come up just from updating.
If you have any issues after the factory reset then I'd be worried.
Any way to root the D850 and new Att Marshmallow?

I would LOVE to know this as well. I am reading conflicting things. I am hesitant to update since I may not be able to obtain root....Anyone have a surefire, permanent root solution for the D850 on 6.0?
You can root it using kingroot apk. Then flash twrp

That would be a different process than I did before, do you where I can find correct, detailed info on this?
Also is KingRoot safe? I haven't done much research into that, but for some reason I vaguely remember seeing something about that apk. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Also is this permanent? I read a kingroot method that would be cleared after reboot.

Thanks dksoni411
With only one reply (question) to this method, I am curious if anyone else that has tried this on an D850 can post their experience. I don't want to end up with a brick. HA!
Anyone?

firmware fqd2

Anyone flash the newest ota? Any differences?
Just updated yesterday. I was hoping it would finally be on 5.1.1 but don't see any difference. Still had the annoying priority notifications and heads up notifications. Glad to see someone else is still squeezing life outta their note 3.
Is there a root out for this firmware yet?

There are a lot of users out there otherwise this update wouldn't have happened. They need to have a certain amount of users to justify updating. I'm glad as this phone is still a beast, and going strong.

Root works like any other recent version. Just look in the threads for the method you want. If it worked at least for four versions ago, it should still work now.

Ok I tried kingroot it said that it wasn't adaptable yet. So does that mean I should wait a while for a new root to come out or just try another way?

You don't need to use kingroot. Just flash TWRP via download mode and flash SuperSU.
This is really great! What security update does it have? It would be really great to have a deodexed version. I tried on the previous
version, but failed. Does anyone have good pointers on deodexing?

Cant rename Magisk on my Redmi Note 8 PRO

Hi!
Like the title said i have an redmi note 8 pro with ANDROID 9 stock firmware rooted but while im try to change the name of magisk
i recive an error and dont let me change the name and also my CTS profile is false....
Someone can help me pls?
You won't be able to get around the CTS false flag now without completely removing Magisk. The requirements have changed recently.

Use the uninstall feature in the Magisk manager app and reboot. If it still fails the safety net pass, I think you need to lock your bootloader which is dicey. Might want to wait for someone else to confirm the steps as it's unique to your ROM version and may cause a hard brick, but typically flashing an unmodified MiFlash tool ROM and then locking the bootloader after should do it.

You can get around it by using the "MagiskHide Props Config" module and using it to change your devices fingerprint. At least on Android 10(Pixel Experience, CFW, Used Pixel 4 XL fingerprint)

Same here, that's why I thought locking was the only way. There was a thread about this somewhere, didn't think magisk hide worked anymore.
I'll try what @Sapphiress mentioned, thanks!
Edit: no dice, didn't work with the GSI option for finger print. Any suggestions on which fingerprint to use for Android 10 GSI Quack?

My bootloader is unlocked and I read elsewhere that that can cause the CTS flag to fail. I tried simulating a K20 fingerprint and all it did was disable my sim, lol.

Must only work on CFW then.
My bootloader is also unlocked.
My exact load out is:
CFW Pixel experience
CFW TWRP
CFW Zentisu kernel
I used the emulate device option in the props script and set it to Pixel 4 XL.
I can confirm that Netflix and Google Play works. At least on global with My setup.

Yes, I have a Redmi Note 8 Pro(Global)
Android 10 CFW (Pixel Experience)
CTS Profile and basicSec are True, I've already stated that GooglePay and Netflix both work.
No, I haven't, as I don't see a reason too. If it's to hide it from other people then this can be accomplished with a 3rd party launcher, otherwise I don't see the point.
All of these questions have been answered in my previous posts aside from renaming magisk.
Everything you need to know about CFW and flashing custom ROMS is available in the Redmi Note 8 Pro megatread I advise reading it in its entirety and reading the entire comment chain(i know it's a lot buts it's important) before attempting anything, and everything else I'm using is in the Development ROMS, KERNELS, Etc. Section.
I can't really comment links right now as I'm in using the labs app.

Question Baseband Version UNKNOWN

Tried everything. Searched through the webs for past couple of days. Everything failed.
Majority of articles are from times of Ancient Rome. None work and are outdated.
Reflashed stock with nand erase and pit file. Checked and failed.
Tried root related solutions? Checked and failed.
Searched modem file. Failed.
Downgrade to prev version? No longer plausible. Due to BIT.
I flashed and reflashed with odin numerious of times. Nothing. Useless. Absolutely useless.
did u solve it?
Did you guys find anything? I think I'm gonna go check at a repair shop for someone with the z3x box and hope for the best.

Nope, he said no matter what rom he flashed it was always unknown IMEI.
However I found something interesting, turns out my IMEI and baseband numbers are intact when I check them from recovery. Maybe downgrading this phone should fix that, although I'm not sure if it is possible.

I'll get an older firmware from sammobile and get back to you if anything different happens. Just as a note, someone here on XDA said they were able to downgrade when using a Magisk altered ROM.

OK I tried doing that and now phone is bootlooping with secure check fail md1img error, that's the anti-downgrade thing complaining. No luck down the downgrade hallway.
I think the only option is to wait for a possible solution from the Magisk people or check if a future update somehow fixes the problem.

how do you check them from recovery? I was able to see them once after a botched flashing, entering download mode, there was a "show barcode" option or something like that.
I have read in an older thread in this forum, some guy solved it by downgrading, but to a version which is impossible to downgrade to for us, because our phones already came with the AUJ4 firm, and acannot go back.

Question How to Root? And other pre-purchase questions

Thinking about getting this phone after having some difficulties with a Note10+, considering running either rooted stock or LineageOS.
However I noticed there doesn't seem to be a "how to root" thread anywhere here.
Is it just a matter of installing Magisk and letting it do it's thing? I found LineageOS's instructions on unlocking the bootloader, but nothing beyond that: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lisa/install
Does anyone here run rooted stock? Or would most people recommend running a custom ROM instead?
Are there any problems or difficulties I need to be aware of before I buy?
I see there's no 'lisa' TWRP build. what's the "best" recovery to use for this phone?

Follow standard/offícial instructions (available on the Magisk GitHub page!!!) and that's it.
No need to have the same thread for every phone
However, for additional things like hiding the root, etc, there are generic threads on XDA, again not specific for this or that phone
There are threads about recoveries, particularly for Orange Fox for Lisa
But again, Magisk (by official instructions) does not require TWRP/OrangeFox for the installation, instead use the officially recommended patch & flash method
