Software and setup choices
- Installed software: Samsung One UI (Android) on a firmware version compatible with the prepared root configuration. Magisk and its manager app are installed before dispatch. Root access is granted to apps through the root manager.
- Root choice: this listing supplies Magisk. It is not an unrooted or Google-free configuration. Choose a separate ROM listing if you need a different operating system.
- Google apps: rooting itself does not remove Google Play or Google services. Existing Google apps are retained on the compatible Android build; a Google-free setup is not included in this listing.
- Location-tool preparation: PGTools, iPogo Launcher, Shungo, PolygonX, Pokemod Lite. Third-party licence keys, VIP or Pro access, subscriptions and game accounts are not included. Each tool must support the selected Android build; tools are not guaranteed to run simultaneously. We confirm unavailable requested tools before preparation.
Bootloader state
The bootloader remains unlocked for this rooted configuration. Do not relock it while modified boot, kernel or system images are installed; restoring the manufacturer’s locked state requires its exact recovery procedure and can erase data.
Compatibility to check before ordering
- Pokémon GO prohibits location falsification and gameplay automation. These configurations can result in account restrictions or termination; there is no guarantee against detection, bans or a future app update disabling the setup.
- Samsung root preparation requires a bootloader-unlockable hardware variant and compatible firmware. Modified boot images can permanently trip Samsung’s Knox Warranty Bit; Samsung Pay, Secure Folder and other Knox-dependent functions can stop working. Restoring stock software does not reset the Knox bit.
- We prepare Samsung rooted orders on compatible Android 15 or earlier firmware. A region/carrier variant or later firmware with no OEM-unlock support is not interchangeable with an eligible unit.
- Banking, payment, work-profile, streaming and game apps may reject a modified device or depend on Google services. Play Integrity, DRM quality and future app compatibility are not guaranteed by root, a custom ROM or a bootloader setting.
Updates and support
Back up before a system update. Check the update instructions for this exact firmware and root manager, retain the matching original boot images where required, and update root components and modules only when they support the new build. An ordinary OTA can replace the modified boot image or kernel and remove root. Contact us before accepting an update if you need the prepared configuration preserved.
Condition and what is included
- Preloved / Used: previously owned and function-tested; visible cosmetic wear may be present.
The selected device, the software preparation described here and protective packaging. A mains charger, charging cable, case, stylus, dock or other accessory is included only if expressly listed or added to your order. Third-party paid apps, accounts and subscriptions are separate.
