Hi @Selva Kumar A, this really a useful and comprehensive guide to flashing Samsung firmware on an SM-A107F like mine. I already did all that. Though it’s a new device only because I was trying to resolve an issue where even OEM unlock is enabled, I can’t get the bootloader unlocking with the long Volume Up press in the download mode. Doing so brings up a black screen with some green along the borders, and after a while, it reboots to the system, flashing through Odin a Magisk patched boot.img fails certainly because of that, what else can I do, could you advise me? Thanks
I am talking on behalf of Selvakumar. When flashing boot.img, After the “Pass” message. First Press Volume Down+ Power Button and Immediately press Volume Up+Power Button.
after flashing my internal storage memory reduced
Take complete Backup. Delete LOST.dir in your Internal Storage.
