Root Samsung Galaxy J4 Core SM-J410F/G Oreo 8.1 using Magisk

by Selva Kumar A 13 Comments

Samsung Galaxy J4 Core is an Android Go Edition 8.1 version based device. Unlike Stock ROM and Android One devices, Android Go devices can be configured with the Custom Skin. So, Samsung Android Go devices support ODIN software to flash files. But, Rooting is not required in this kind of mobiles. They are limited and can perform better with official support. Regular APK files may consume a lot of resources and break your mobile OS. So, If you have a specific reason or you are a tester, you can root your mobile using below steps. If you are a regular user and it is your primary device, I won’t recommend rooting your mobile. You cannot get a lot of improvements, because of limited hardware.

If you don’t know how much RAM you need, You will never use this much RAM. You should not Boot into Normal OS Booting, by pressing the power button, after firmware flash. It will boot you to Non-Rooted environment. If you accidentally urged and boot frequently, Don’t panic, after setup everything, switch off your device and boot into Rooted OS using above mentioned keys. If you root your device, because of the battery drain issues, you can optimize your battery without root.

      Magisk based method needs additional steps like patching compare with the usual TWRP way. We can’t short out. Video tutorials currently unavailable. In the future, We will try to post tutorials.

          This method is based on Magisk. You have to patch the file from your firmware. We can’t install Custom ROMs using this method.

        “Wait for the process to complete, In the end, you will get magisk patched .tar file. The .tar file will be in the same folder where you have the Stock firmware file.”
        I selected boot.img, and magisk did the process. However, I received magisk_patched.img and not magisk_patched.tar as the procedure outlined above says. What did I do wrong or what did I fail to do?
        How to select the .tar type file?

          No problem. If you can’t get the file, you can use 7zip or other software to convert the .img to.tar. Use Add to archive option and select the file type as .tar.

    This would be much easier if you posted it via video on YouTube with the links for both magisk and custom recovery. Thanks.
