📱 Rooting Samsung Galaxy S22 Series with Magisk
This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of rooting the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, including the base model, S22 Plus, S22 Ultra, and the upcoming S22 FE, using Magisk. It begins with prerequisites like unlocking the bootloader, for which a separate tutorial is linked. Viewers are instructed to download Magisk from GitHub, Odin for PC, and the specific firmware for their phone model, with resources and links provided in the video description. The process involves downloading and extracting the phone's firmware, copying the AP file to the phone, using Magisk to patch this file, and then transferring the patched file back to the PC for flashing.
🔧 Flashing Rooted Firmware Using Odin
The second part of the tutorial explains how to prepare the Samsung Galaxy S22 for rooting by entering Download Mode, a step detailed in a previous video. With the phone in Download Mode and connected to the PC, Odin is used to load and flash the modified firmware, including the BL, CP, CSC (not HOME_CSC for first-time root), and the Magisk-patched AP file. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of not interrupting the flashing process and notes that the phone will automatically reboot once Odin successfully completes the flashing, signified by a green 'PASS' message.
🌐 Finalizing Root with Magisk
After the phone auto-reboots post-flashing, the tutorial guides users through the final steps to establish root access. This includes bypassing the initial activation screens to reach the home screen, locating the Magisk stub app (or reinstalling Magisk from GitHub if necessary), and upgrading to the full Magisk version. The process concludes with a reboot for setup completion and verification of root access using the Magisk app and a root checker application. The tutorial ensures viewers can achieve root access on their Galaxy S22, including the Plus and Ultra models, provided the bootloader is unlocked.

Transcripts
i have the samsung galaxy s 22 right
here and in today's video i'll be
showing you how to root the entire
series of this smartphone
using magisk
you can see we do not have root access
right now
but before we can begin there are some
things that we need to have done ahead
of time
for example we cannot root this phone
until we unlock the bootloader first
now i have done a tutorial already
showing you how i unlocked the
bootloader for this exact phone
so instead of repeating myself here i'll
be linking to that video
in the video description below for
anyone who needs to be caught up
now this tutorial will work for the base
model of the galaxy s22 like i have
right here
as well as the larger galaxy s 22 plus
variant
the massive galaxy s 22 ultra
and the upcoming galaxy s 22 f
e the main requirement here is that you
must have the bootloader unlocked first
and i know that all variants do not
support that
this should be something that you are
aware of for the unit you currently own
now we also need to install magisk on
our phone
which can be downloaded via github
we need to have odin installed on our pc
and then we need to download a copy of
the firmware we are currently running on
this phone
that needs to be downloaded to the pc so
it can be extracted
and again for anybody who is not
familiar with any of this like maybe you
do not know where the github page is for
magisk or maybe you do not know where to
download odin
i will be including download links
and
other links
for all of these requirements in the
video description below
number of ways a number of places
programs and websites that you can
download the firmware for your samsung
galaxy s 22 phone
i use the website
samfw.com
as shown here
to download the firmware
for the model
of the galaxy s22 that i currently own
i have taken that firmware download and
i have extracted the contents of this
file
which gave me
these
five files an ap file
a bl file
a cp file a csc file
and lastly a home
csc file
once you have downloaded the firmware
and extracted it
you're going to need to take the ap file
here
and we're going to copy that to our
galaxy s22
now that we have the ap file
copied to our galaxy s22
we're going to open up the magisk
application
look for the install button in the top
magisk section
and tap it
then we're going to choose the select
and patch a file option
and then we're going to browse and
select the ap file that we put on this
phone
once that has been selected you should
see this let's go button right here
we're going to go ahead and tap that
and we're going to let magisk work its
magic
magisk is going to take that ap file
extract the boot image from it
copy some files
patch some files
write these files back into
our original
compressed file
and then give us a new file right here
so instead of having an ap file we have
replaced it with a magisk underscore
patched tar file
that for me is going to be in the
downloads folder
so we need to connect the phone back to
the pc so that we can copy this magisk
patched file
to our pc
now before we can actually flash this
modified
firmware file to the phone
we need to boot the galaxy s22 into
download mode
this is another one of those things that
i've previously shown you how to do
in a separate video so instead of going
through the step-by-step instructions of
how to do that
i'm just going to link to that previous
tutorial so that you can get caught up
get your phone into download mode and
then come back and finish this tutorial
so here i have opened up odin
and remember i have the galaxy s22
connected to the pc with that usb cable
while it is in download mode
and we should be told that odin is
detecting that phone
by having this or one of these boxes
filled in with blue
and telling us which com port it is
connected so for me it is connected to
com5 right now
but as long as you're seeing your phone
connected here
then we can continue
now when we look at the buttons here in
odin you can see the familiar two
letters that we saw in the firmware
files here
so we have a bl slot an ap slot
a cp slot
and then a csc slot
so we're going to click the bl button
we're going to find the bl firmware file
and select it
we're then going to select the cp file
again find the cp
the firmware file that begins with cp
and select it
then going to click the csc button
and then pick the
csc firmware file
not the home csc firmware file if this
is the first time you are rooting the
phone
going from an unrooted state to a rooted
state
we need to select the regular csc file
and then lastly we're going to click the
ap file
but instead of selecting the firmware
file that begins with ap
because that is the unmodified firmware
file
we want to load in the modified firmware
file
which is the magisk underscore patched
file
so that's all we're doing to odin i'm
not changing anything in the options tab
we are just loading these firmware files
as instructed
and since we have everything set up we
are now just going to click the start
button right here
and we can see two different progress
bars we have a progress bar on the phone
itself
at the bottom of the download mode
screen
and we have the progress bar up here in
odin
which we can follow along with
now it is important
to leave the phone alone
do not unplug the phone
make sure that it maintains a secure usb
connection
and again we can follow along
with the log file right here we can see
all of the files that are being written
to the phone
some of these files are really large
like this super dot img file
so we are just going to wait patiently
we are going to let odin flash all of
these files to our galaxy s22
and remember we have the
auto reboot option
automatically is selected
so when everything is
done we're going to get a
green pass message up here
and our galaxy s22 is going to reboot on
its own
so we can see this progress bar is
getting close to the end
the same progress bar again is being
displayed on the phone
so we are really close to this finishing
up
and as mentioned the galaxy s 22 has
restarted on its own
the phone has completed its boot cycle
so we are just going to skim through
the activation
so that we can get to the home screen
here
so we have finished the activation part
of android
and we need to go into the application
drawer
you should see
a stub of magisk which is going to look
like magisk but it's not going to have
that icon
if you do not see this then go ahead and
download magisk from the github web page
again and install it
but again if you've done everything
correctly you should see this stub right
here which we can tap on
and then we need to connect to the
internet so that we can upgrade to full
magisk
so with the phone booted back up and an
internet connection
maintained can come back
check for that app stub
open it
and we're going to be asked if we want
to upgrade to the full magisk
of course we want to tap on ok
we will need to allow that first
and then we'll get that update prompt
so now we have the actual full magisk
app installed we can open it up
again we see requires additional setup
so we're going to tap on ok
and it's going to reboot our phone with
that additional setup done
we can now open the full
magisk application
we can see right here
that it does say
magisk version 24.3
is currently installed so that means we
do have root access
and we can test this
you can test this in a number of
different ways but for this video i can
download this root checker app
and once the application has been
installed we can go ahead and open it up
and perform our first
route check
so that wraps up this video showing you
how to
gain root access to the galaxy s 22
the galaxy s22 plus
and the galaxy s22 ultra
using magisk
we just have to make sure that we can
unlock the bootloader first
