How to Root Galaxy S10/S10+/S10e Exynos 2022
Before we begin the root process, let us tell you that process to root Galaxy S10/S10+/S10e is a bit different than normal rooting process. So first you need to unlock bootloader on your device that results in complete data wipe on the device. In the 10 iteration of S series flasgship, Samsung has introduced a new “VaultKeeper” service which attempts to “relock” the bootloader after the data is wiped, so you need to repeat the process to make sure that the bootloader on your device unlocked completely.
Pre-requisites:
Backup the important data on your device and save it on your PC.
Working USB data cable is required.
Download and install latest Samsung USB drivers on the PC, here is the link to grab them.
Enable Developer Options and OEM unlock option, here is an extensive guide to do that.
Note: Magisk has to be installed on the recovery partition of your device, which is very different from what you used to know about rooting in general.
Now just follow further instructions below.
