It worked but during the process, while flashing system and vendor file I got Invalid sparse file format at header magic
Is it normal? The phone is working fine but checking whether it's normal or anything else needs to be done?
It would be very helpful. Thanks

I want unbrick my P10 using Huawei MultiTool 8.
To do so, the procedure asks me these files:
- System.img
- Ramdisk.img
- Cust.img
- Recovery_Ramdisk.img
- Usedata.img
So, I've used Update Extractor and also split_update with many version of UPDATE.APP, coming from FULL-OTA, but I could NEVER find the bloody Ramdisk.img
What I'm doing Wrong?!?!

I come across similar problem as you. I need RAMDISK.IMG for making patched file for Magisk installation. I use the HuaweiUpdateExtractor to browse the UPDATE.APP and they do not show RAMKDISK.IMG. Rather, they list boot.img, fastboot.img, recovery.img, & many other, but no RAMDISK.IMG
Hello guys. I failed several times rooting this device and finally managed to root.
You need to extract AP tar and then replace the boot.img with a magisk patched one.
You then need to re tar the file using 7zip and flash as normal.
AP CSC HOME CSC and BL
If there's enough demand I'll write a proper guide. Also if soft bricked you need to press both volume buttons and plug in usb at right point on restart.

Thanks @jameswalker457
Which one did you use CSC_HOME or CSC?
When I run with CSC, I get a 'fail' in ODIN However, it does run with CSC_HOME, BL and the patched AP - but it doesn't actually root the device.
Greatful for your help.
Thanks
Used BL AP (with patched boot.img) CSC and HOME_CSC in the userdata

SM-X200 root failed...
It's now a bricked tablet after a boot loop, I think should wait to magisk get an update. It won't power on or charge I think. I have two days trying to power on in several times and many key conbinations. No Samsung logo or something. Can I do...
forum.xda-developers.com
The best way to root samsung tab a8 2021 pls
Android 11 I got fast as f boot loop solution below btw An 4 gamers I got fps/ping boost solution below to
forum.xda-developers.com
I still do not have root. What I did:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. install magisk manager 24.3
3. Download X200XXU1AVC1 from Samfw
4. unzip the firmware
5. Untar the AP tar file
6. Extract boot.img, send to device, and patch with magisk 24.3. Patched boot is magisk_patched-24300-9Iez2.img
7. Replace boot.img with the newly patched one (renamed to boot.img)
8. Create a tar file from the AP folder using
" tar -C AP_folder -cvf AP_patched.tar ."
9. "adb reboot bootloader" to download mode
10. open Odin v3.14.1 and add BL, HOME_CSC, and the AP_patched.tar
9. Flash via Odin, exit download mode, enter stock recovery, factory reset
For some reason I can't get from download mode to recovery w/o first booting the fresh android.
No boot loop, but no root either.
These are the file names I got from Samfw:
AP_X200XXU1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49828201_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS11.tar.md5
BL_X200XXU1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49828201_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_XAR_X200XAR1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49838021_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
The md5sum of the files:
AP stock: fa97e5cee1deaf26175b27d26df94266
AP patched: 006b12f713fc3caa127bc5cba01ae4b9
BL: 2172ca468462a46917d78e94157aed54
HOME_CSC: 5ede57b9ffe8059f3166dd5de6ef8721
The tar file worried me. It had file names like ./boot.img instead of boot.img. So I created a new file, with the patched boot.img, this way:
cd AP_folder
tar -cvf ../AP_patched.tar *
Then flashed that. Took longer than the previous tar.
On reboot, it asks me to press PWR to accept boot loader unlocked. Then a splash screen saying: unapproved software, then a few boot loops.
I got to recovery, factory reset, the tablet does the LONG boot, does the initial setup thing.
Install Magisk Manager, and root! Google Play still works.
Whoopee! I can now wait for a working TWRP.

Hello, I have a problem/doubt. I have the files AP, BP... etc I use 7zip to extract the boot.img ..... if I unzip all the AP XXX.tar.md5 the 7zip warns me that there is data after the file, it warns me of an error and at the end it stops in the fota . ...when I replace the boot.img in the AP folder by the one corresponding to the patched with Magisk and use the 7zip again to create the .tar the file does not work with ODIN...I do not know what step or mistake I make. Regards
PS: I'm extracting the files instead of unzipping the .tar.md5 to see if that's the problem ....

That is because a .tar.md5 is a tar file with an md5 concatenated to it.
> use the 7zip again to create the .tar the file does not
The proper tool to create .tar files is "tar".
>PS: I'm extracting the files instead of unzipping the .tar.md5 to see if that's the problem ....
Care to be more specific on how you did that?

Good news.
Have root my SM-X205 (LTE) for 1 Feb Patch level but no go with latest May update.
Getting constant boot loop (exactly same process, magisk boot.bin etc) so rolled back to Feb for now.

What firmware version worked, and which failed?
X200XXU1AVC1 worked for me.
Yes, X205XXU1AVC1 works.
No luck with latest X205XXS1AVE1 (May Patch).

Not sure if this helps but i read an article that says you should patch the whole AP tar file rather than extract just the boot.img. Maybe because it patches the recovery and super etc img files too? I havet tried this yet as I cant even get my bootloader unlocked

OK, I've un-tarred the AP tar.md5 and patched the old boot-img file on the device, renamed it and replaced the original boot.img in the AP "folder".
Steps 8 & 9 are a little confusing for me, if you could expand on those. Can I use 7zip to re-tar? Those look like DOS commands in step 8.

I'm guessing those are Linux commands?
In any event, I made 7zip re-tar the AP folder with the patched boot.img, but it ends in .tar.tar
Is this an issue, or should/can it be renamed .tar.md5 like the original?

I do them on Linux, but they can also work on WinBlows. Since I do not use M$ products, I can only say I've seen those commands work on WinBlows, but can't say how to set that up.
I also can't help you with 7zip, it can run on Linux, but never use it myself.
People have problems when they don't use "real" tar, so don't. Save yourself the pain.
You do not need to convert the .tar to a .tar.md5. Odin will use either file type. A .tar.md5 file is a .tar file with its md5 hash appended. Odin can use the file to verify the .tar integrity, but that is optional.
