How to Root the Galaxy Note 10 & 10+ with Magisk?

Samsung has a history of doing things with Android that no other OEM does. Because of this, it also means that installing Magisk to gain root access is different than other devices as well. The process may seem long but I can break it down for you so the tutorial is easy to understand & simple to follow.

There are a lot of things that we can do with an Android smartphone which has root that we cannot do with one that does not. I’ve covered some of the reasons why I use root here, but your mileage may vary. Don’t feel that you should, or have to root the Galaxy Note 10.

You should decide to follow this tutorial because you have specific reasons to.

Requirements

Before you can start the tutorial detailed below, you first need to unlock the bootloader of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, or the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. This means that the following tutorial is only for the Exynos variant because most Snapdragon models have an unlockable bootloader.

Once you have that done, you can then proceed with the step by step tutorial I have written (and recorded) for you.

Note – Gaining root access to the Galaxy Note 10 series requires us to perform a factory reset. Therefore, it is advised that you go in and back up as much of your personal data as possible (photos, videos, WiFi passwords, etc.).

Time needed: 30 minutes

As you can see, the tutorial does look long and complex but it’s only that long because of the way I break the steps down. I do this because it makes the whole process easier to read and easier to understand. I could just as easily have said “flash this modified firmware with Odin” but not everyone would understand that.

This is why I treat these tutorials as if this is your first time (or as close as I can get).

I encourage you to follow along with me using the embedded YouTube video as well because having those visual aids can help. This is especially true for those who get stuck at a particular step as it can help you to get back on track. I am essentially just following my own tutorials when creating the videos.

Risks of Gaining Root on the Galaxy Note 10

I don’t want to say there aren’t any risks involved here because there are. You can read over the Disclaimer link in the footer of the website but I think everyone knows by now that you are taking a risk when using these community tools. I create these tutorials to minimize these risks as much as possible.

There is only so much that I can do though.

Now, I will say that rooting the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Note 10+, Note 10 Lite, or Note 10+ 5G will trip KNOX. This means that any application or service (Samsung Health, Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, Secret Mode in Samsung’s Internet Browser) will not work anymore. If you try then you’ll be told the app/phone detects unofficial code and will stop you.

There are some workarounds available to get some of these things working again. I’ll be covering these in future tutorials so that I can keep them organized but you shouldn’t expect these workarounds to work. It’s great when they do, but it’s usually a cat and mouse game between the developer community and Samsung.
