How to ROOT A32 5G

I've been out of the loop for awhile but I thought I'd go ahead and give this A32 5G root access. Prior to this phone I never needed to root any of my devices. Since this dinky phone can't even handle Pokemon GO that's all the reason I need to root.

That's a all out lie, I got a galaxy A32 5g and I got it running Pokémon Go, call of duty, Apex legends and it's my daily driver for a burner phone. It runs games, among many other apps. I got the 128gb internal storage and got another 64gb micro SD. An I got 6gb ram & additional 4 gb ram boost which idk if it makes a difference and I have 100internal gb used and only have 2gb open on my micro SD. So if your rooting to run a game that's bs.

Rooting is not necessarily to run games, but to mod the phone with custom firmware and debloating.

If you have bootloader version 3 or lower (probably not anymore, 5th number from right in baseband version) look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-a32-5g-mediatek.4286631/

I really would like to try to root my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SM-A326U.

Unfortunately, my baseband is A326USQS8BVJ1 where the 5th character from the right is {8} (which is a lot bigger than 3).

In Android 12 Settings > About phone > Software information >

  • Service provider software version =
    • Current CSC = SAOMC_SM-A326U_OYN_TMB_12_0008TMB
    • Best CSC for SIM card 1 = TMB
    • Best CSC for SIM card 2 (if dual SIM is possible) = TMB
    • Factory CSC that cannot be changed = TMB
The CheckFirm Android app by Bluesion reports
  • SM-A326U (TMB)
  • Latest official firmware = A326USQS8BVJ1/A326UOYN8BVJ1/A326USQS8BVJ1
Likewise Windows Frija & BitFrost tools report similar information:
  • Model = SM A326U
  • CSC = TMB
  • Version = A326USQS8BVJ1/A326UOYN8BVJ1/A326USQS8BVJ1
  • Size = 5970 MB
  • OS = S(Android 12)
  • Filename = SM-A326U_2_20221020211950_3bw6oqi4sf_fac.zip.enc4
Windows Frija downloaded that firmware for me which resulted in:
  • Name: SM-A326U_2_20221020211950_3bw6oqi4sf_fac.zip
  • Size: 6260154041 bytes (5970 MiB)

Unpacked, that resulted in the following set of SM A326U firmware.

I picked up Windows Frija here.

I picked up the BitFrost from here, which does what Frija does.
Unpacked
  • Name: Bifrost.exe

  • SHA256: 9A71CF4A6F2C74F15C5C00D9BBB7BE2D68AF3E9A22111D0BAE35BD23713B66AC
Still, I'd love to be able to root this phone (if possible).
I tried the methods to root described here, the first test is
  • Go to OneClickRoot on any web browser
  • a. I clicked on "Samsung",
  • b. and typed the model "SM-A326U",
  • c. and selected "Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326U)"
  • d. Then I selected "Android 12" as the Android version
  • e. And then pressed on "Verify Device Rootable"
  • f. It reported "We're Sorry"
  • "Your Samsung Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326U) is not rootable."
Then I installed SuperSU on the SM-A326U but it failed.
  • Name: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
  • Size: 4017098 bytes (3922 KiB)
  • SHA256: D44CDD09E99561132B2A4CD19D707F7126722A9C051DC23F065A948C7248DC4E

Then I installed KingoRoot on both the PC & the SM-A326U, but it too failed to root.
  • Name: android_root.exe
  • Size: 19128680 bytes (18 MiB)
  • SHA256: 2F400F0B2FE121B8E5B1415A99DFDA2F5502B7AA2E7002EF6E464F0D587DBA0F

I've installed Magisk but I'm not sure what the next steps are.
  • Name: Magisk-v25.2.apk
  • Size: 11278270 bytes (10 MiB)
  • SHA256: 0BDC32918B6EA502DCA769B1C7089200DA51EA1DEF170824C2812925B426D509
Yet the referenced thread (TWRP for Galaxy A32 5G) implies that we CAN root the SM-A326U where the thread clearly says the SM-A326U US model is supported and the thread even points to a bootloader unlock thread for this USA model over here (Bootloader Unlock for Samsung US/Canada Devices) so this is extremely confusing conflicting information.

This is all very very very confusing.
Either we can root this Galaxy A32-5G SMA326U or we can not root it.

Which is it?

Has anyone been successful with that TWRP/Bootloader unlock process with a bootloader fifth-from-right digit of 8?

As an aside, so as to be able to quickly and reliably get into all the various modes (e.g., fastboot mode, android recovery mode, odin or download mode, etc.), I started writing up a thread on how to access all the phone modes over here, by the way - but it's very much a work in progress.
