Thanks. Root successful but external Memory card is not detected when phone boots up after the rooting. Pls I need solution
Format your SD card in “FAT32” Type.
I’ve formatted the sd card with fat32 still it shows no SD card. I even inserted another good SD Card, it gave the same result. I think the problem is with the FORCED ENCRYPTION DISABLER. Pls I need the fix. Thanks a lot.
Install ES File Explorer, In the root, Check you can See Memory card or not.
Thank you for detailed root guide.. rooted successfully.. But same MicroSD card problem for me.. its not detecting after rooting…..
in Es File Explorer also .. it is not showing SD card…..
another problem is WIFI tethering is also not working.. it`s turning off immediately
es explorer > settings > view settings > show hidden files and folders. Find SD Card is working or not. If you face lot of problems. Download respective firmware and flash using Flashify app. It will Repair all firmware issues and you can also have root access. Don’t flash firmware using ODIN, when you have root access. Take complete backup using TWRP before this process.
‘If you face lot of problems. Download respective firmware and flash using Flashify app. It will Repair all firmware issues and you can also have root access’….
I didn’t get selva…. after flashing original oreo firmware through odin… do I need to flash ‘TWRP’ and ‘Magisk’ through flashify app ?
or
now I need to flash original oreo firmware through flashify app ?

If you are a Rooted user, when you use the Direct ODIN method, you will lose root access.
