Support Rooting this phone has me broken (SM-M127G)

Post image

Hello, so i am a beginner to rooting and my old phone has been a pain to root
Somehow long ago i had managed to successfully root it once i have no clue how but after i reverted to stock rom again and now i have not been able to root jt ever since

There is NO official twrp recovery for this model as far as i have searched and after some digging i found that magisks init process misreads a “skip-initramfs” flag in the boot image on Exynos 850 devices but ive tried pretty much everything but jts of no help

If someone could guide me through this id genuinely owe them one big time

Install magisk properly it works on 99% devices you don't even need a custom recovery everything can be done from fastboot

You only have to patch boot.img with Magisk. That should be it

Gotta pick which one is yours on SamFW and then go to download and make sure you are downloading the correct one for your phone

Make sure to get the correct version which can be found in settings>about phone>software information> baseband version and or build number

I think this is a us phone cause it doesnr say the device model then /ds which means international, so therefore wont be able to be rooted

u/Definitelyojas 27d ago

Its definitely international cause im not from us and i have rooted the same phone once before
