And its twenty-third iteration has rightly carried forward this legacy. You could now gain administrative privileges by rooting your Galaxy S23 Ultra via Magisk. However, since this is the initial phase, you wouldn’t be able to carry out the generic steps of extracting AP from firmware, patching it via Magisk, and flashing it via Odin. Rather, you will have to opt for a slightly different approach, at least for now. So without further ado, let’s get started.

Benefits and Risks of Rooting

Once you root your device, you will be in a position to flash a plethora of mods. These include the likes of Fox Magisk Modules, Substratum Themes, Xposed Framework via LSPosed, and Viper4Android among others.
