How to Load Magisk on the Galaxy Note 10 & S10 Series Smartphones?

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of loading Magisk on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and S10 series smartphones. Magisk is a powerful tool that allows you to gain root access to your device, giving you the ability to customize and optimize your Android experience. However, some users have reported issues with Magisk not loading properly after a device reboot. We will show you how to resolve this problem and ensure that Magisk is loaded successfully every time you start your device.

Before we dive into the solution, let’s first understand why some devices, including the Galaxy Note 10 and S10 series, may have trouble loading Magisk after a reboot. Unlike other devices, these Samsung smartphones do not come with a RAM disk feature, which is essential for properly loading Magisk into the system. To overcome this limitation, the Magisk developer had to install the root binaries into the recovery partition. This means that we need to boot into recovery mode before booting into the Android operating system in order to load Magisk successfully.

Requirements

Before we proceed, let’s make sure we have everything we need to load Magisk on our Samsung device:

1. A USB cable: You will need a USB cable to connect your device to a PC or a set of earbuds/headphones. This cable is crucial for triggering the special boot modes required to load Magisk.
2. A PC: If you choose to connect your device to a PC, make sure it is powered on and running.

Now that we have the necessary requirements, let’s move on to the step-by-step process of loading Magisk on the Galaxy Note 10 and S10 series smartphones.

Step 1: Power Off Your Device

To begin, ensure that your device is powered off completely. This will allow us to enter the necessary boot mode to load Magisk successfully.

Step 2: Enter Boot Screen

Next, press and hold the power button and the volume up button simultaneously for a few seconds. Continue holding these buttons until you see the boot screen.

Step 3: Release Buttons and Boot into Android

Once you reach the bootloader unlocked screen, release the power button and volume up button. Allow your device to boot into the Android operating system.

Step 4: Check Magisk Installation

After your device has booted into Android, open the Magisk app to check if it has been installed properly. You should see the “Installed” status, indicating that Magisk has been loaded successfully.

Step 5: Reboot Your Device

Now, if you restart your device without booting into recovery mode first, Magisk will not be loaded during the boot process. To ensure that Magisk is loaded every time you start your device, follow these steps:

1. Connect your device to a PC using a USB cable.
2. Power off your device completely.
3. Press and hold the power button and volume up button simultaneously for a few seconds to enter the boot screen.
4. Once you see the bootloader unlocked screen, release the power button and volume up button.
5. Allow your device to boot into the Android operating system.

Step 6: Verify Magisk Installation

After your device has booted into Android, open the Magisk app to verify that it has been installed again. You should see the “Installed” status, indicating that Magisk is loaded successfully.

Congratulations! You have successfully loaded Magisk on your Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or S10 series smartphone. From now on, whenever you start your device, Magisk will be loaded, giving you full control over your Android experience.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the process, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Ensure that you are using a USB cable connected to a PC or a set of earbuds/headphones. This is essential for triggering the required boot modes.
2. Double-check that Magisk has been installed properly. If you see the “N/A” status in the Magisk app, it means that the Magisk binaries are not being detected. In this case, go back to Step 5 and repeat the process.
3. If the issue persists, you may need to update Magisk to the latest version. Visit the official Magisk website for the latest updates and instructions on how to update.
