How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S21/S21+/S21 Ultra - Magisk - Full Step-by Step Video Guide

Hello everyone,

Here is a complete step-by-step video guide of a very safe method for rooting the Galaxy S21 (or any other Exynos-based S21 such as the S21+ & S21 Ultra) and installing Magisk onto it.

Just make sure you follow all the steps in the correct order and that you don't skip any!

Also, make sure you download the correct firmware file for your device variant (you can find out very easily the variant/CSC by using the Phone Info app from the Play Store).

It works only on Exynos-powered S21 devices (S21 - S21+ - S21 Ultra including all 5G versions), not on Snapdragon versions.

Happy flashing!

Stay tuned to my channel for more exciting videos with the S21 as the main actor. Enjoy!

I'd like to offer my thanks to the devs of the applications that I used in this video. If you appreciate their work please donate, they're doing a fantastic job.

I managed to install after 5 hours, did everything right except unlocking the bootloader in the beginning.. Thought I bricked(literally had the error img and couldn't connect.. In the end, somehow, I retraced my steps and it worked out.. On a mac book pro with the parallel Windows machine, great tutorial, still valid🤣🤣

A year later this guide is still accurate so long as you follow it precisely using the same exact versions he used. Using a more recent version of odin will not work at least not when I did it

Unfortunately, the magisk application does not appear for me. And I checked with rootchecker, the phone is not rooted. Any help ?

[BrunoSousa-]

After i done all the steps the magisk app do not appeared installed ay my phone, thus the device wasn't rooted...why? I have done everything correclty

[zbrahh]

For anyone with Android 12 having issues of Magisk not showing up after using Odin, be sure to use the LATEST version of Magisk available to patch the AP file. That's what worked for me.
