Smartphone Rooting and its Advantages

By enabling the root on your Android smartphone, you will get a power user or administrator access easily over the system and sub-system apps. Customizations, installing custom modules, and tweaking becomes easier on a rooted device. However, smartphone OEMs don’t provide any external customization options by default.

Additionally, each and every Android device comes with a locked bootloader as the companies want you to get connected with their own UI. Without unlocking the bootloader, you can’t install third-party firmware or can’t root your device as well.

On a rooted device, you can edit, modify, delete root directory files. You can use rooted apps for increasing the device performance, enhance the battery usage, install custom modules & framework. Additionally, you can restrict background running apps quite well, remove ads, and even uninstall pre-loaded apps.

Guide to Unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy Phones

Steps to Root Galaxy M30s using Magisk

Before going to the rooting steps, follow the download link and pre-requirements below.

Download Firmware:

Samsung Galaxy M30s Patched Firmware (No need to patch the ROM via Magisk)

Pre-Requirements:

This guide and patched boot file supported for Samsung Galaxy M30s device only.
Keep your device charged more than 60% at least.
Take a full backup without any Root of your device data.
You will require a PC/Laptop and a USB cable.
ODIN Flash Tool – download and install it on your computer.
Download the Samsung USB Driver and install it on your PC.
You will need to copy the patched boot file into the ADB & Fastboot folder.

Steps to Install the Patched Boot File on Galaxy M30s to Root

We assume that you’ve properly followed the requirements above. Now, straight jump into the installation method.

You will need to enter your Galaxy M30s into download mode.
Connect the device to the PC using a USB cable.
Open the ODIN flash tool on your PC.

Once the device is connected to the PC properly, the Odin tool will detect automatically and shows a blue sign under ID:COM section in the Odin flash tool.

Next, you have to load the patched boot.tar file in the AP section along with BL, CP, and CSC files.

Note:

Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do this.

Don’t load HOME_CSC and leave the USERDATA blank.
Uncheck Auto Reboot in Options.
Tap on the Start button to start rooting your device.
It will take some time. Please be patient and wait for it to complete.
Once done, press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons together to exit the download mode.
While the screen turns off, immediately press and hold Volume Up + Power buttons simultaneously to enter into the Stock Recovery mode.
Choose Wipe data or factory reset to delete all the device data. (Use Volume buttons to navigate the options and use the power button to select and confirm the action)
Now, we can boot the device to the system with Magisk by choosing reboot system now. (Immediately press and hold the Volume Up + Power buttons together. Once the bootloader warning screen appears, release all the buttons to boot to the Magisk system)
Once the device booted up in a new system, complete the initial setup process and you will see Magisk Manager in the app drawer. If not, then install it manually.
You’re done.

Important Note:

Magisk will be disabled every time when you reboot your device normally. In order to get into the Magisk system every time, switch off your phone and use Volume Up + Power buttons together to turn on and release buttons as soon as the Samsung Galaxy M30s logo appears. This will boot your device into the Magisk system. XDA member santhoosh has recommended the Smalipatcher module to reboot directly into the Magisk system.
For each and every firmware updates on your Galaxy M30s, either patch system update or Magisk always and flash using Odin (data will not be wiped if HOME_CSC used instead of CSC)
