    It would have been nice if your instructions said to UNCHECK the auto-reboot because it’s automatically checked & my phone rebooted & now my phone is frozen in the download screen & I can’t force a hard reset.

    So yea… It would be good to fix that.

    So far I’m still trying, but I don’t understand what to do when it says to download the twrp file and save it because my computer can’t read it, should I download it? Should I download it and pass it to my phone? Help if possible, will try my best to work it out.

      Without contacting your PC, you can’t use this method. Your mobile should detect by the PC. Install necessary drivers, Or Change USB Cable and try. You Don’t have to copy TWRP file to mobile. You should flash it with ODIN.

    Lol was able to go all the way to the installation, forgive me because it’s my first time trying this. I’m at the downloading message for at least 20 minutes, should I keep waiting or should I interrupt it, don’t know if it will change the message or I should reboot.

      Press Volume Down+ Home+ Power Button to exit Download Mode, Immediately Press Volume Up+ Home+ Power Button to enter into recovery mode. Flash Magisk and other files. You should not boot your mobile into normal OS after the TWRP Flash. Or Else you will lose TWRP. If you need further help, Don’t hesitate to contact..:)
