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.
Download links:
Magisk apk link: tinyurl.com/dwyka3da
1st option for stock Samsung ROMs: Frija download link: tinyurl.com/m8fawukc
2nd option to download stock Samsung ROMs: Samloader: tinyurl.com/95j3cmwf
Samsung drivers link: tinyurl.com/yahpref7
Odin 3.14.1 download link: tinyurl.com/7ddy8hzu
7-Zip: tinyurl.com/yxn7xnvt
Happy flashing!
Stay tuned to my channel for more exciting videos with the S21 as the main actor. Enjoy!

Main reason against root for me is that bank apps often tries to detect if device rooted, and if it is, it wont work. I'm definitely sure there are workarounds, but never dug deep enough to find some info about that. Question from me would be, how I can test apps for their behavior, before rooting device, emulators?

Hi. Does this work on Android 14? I tried it on S21 Ultra Android 14 Exynos. After flashing through Odin 11:57, on first boot, it loads to Android Recovery (in yellow) with error "Can't load Android system" (in red), which is not seen in this video. Select the "Factory data reset" and wait for it to reboot to Startup Setup. Copy the Magisk apk and install again. Magisk will ask you to restart.

My biggest problems with Samsung, Sony and other android devices, it is impossible to make screen shot or screen recording from bank accounts and Paypal and other sensitive privacy apps. On the iPhone you can record any thing with screen recorder or take screenshots from any app all so the bank app. Is it possible with this magisk root that we can decide by your self to turn on or off the screenshots possibilities.

how does one sideload their "about info" app? I see no method to move it, google brings up nothing, and I am assuming a random "phone info" .apk online is not suitable. I know CSC means "country specific code", but my service provider software version shows "OYN", which Frija doesn't pick up as valid, and "TMB," which I can only assume means T-mobile, my provider, and Frija does pick up that code as valid. Is this my CSC, or is this simply a coincidence? It does, in fact, match my kernel. The #1234# dial method doesn't work for unrooted phones and boot menu doesn't show a valid 3-letter code.
