Sooo I was trying to root (with magisk ofc) my friend’s Galaxy A12 (Exynos variant, A127F) and install TWRP, let’s say it’s not going very well 😩
This isn’t my first with Magisk & TWRP, But this time? This time I think this phone is came prepared for bootloop 😭
here’s the waht we tried,
flashed TWRP first with vbmeta, no issues.
we took the full AP file, fed it into the Magisk app, let it patch it fully. Then we extracted the boot.img and vbmeta.img from the patched AP, and flashed both via Odin.. BOOTLOOP.
then we tried flashing only the patched boot.img (skipped vbmeta). BOOTLOOP
thought maybe the file got corrupted in transit, so we restored stock firmware, repatched the whole AP via Magisk app, this time pulled it via ADB. BOOTLOOP
thought TWRP making this drama. so, reflashed stock, flashed patched AP with BL, CP, CSC. BOOTLOOP.
tried decrypting the official boot.img, patched only that clean via Magisk (no AP patching this time). BOOTLOOP.
lastly, we tried magisk flashable zip thru TWRP. BOOTLOOP.
BUT... when we flash the stock, boot.img, the device boots perfectly. So yeah… every Magisk patched boot.img = instant bootloop, and we tried everything we know😭
Any clues? Has anyone successfully rooted this thing recently? We tried vmbeta, stable Magisk, ADB pulls, full AP patches and blah blah 😵💫
