What to do on step 9 and step 1 / Installing ?

Hello.

I've reached the step 9 of your tutorial and I'm confused what to do because it seems,based on my perspective,that step 9 confuses itself a little bit with step 1 of the installing section. Let's give a look at what you wrote :

Step 9: Open your phone (or any phone), install latest Magisk apk. Open the Magisk app, select Install, click Next, choose patch a file, then transfer the new-boot.img to that phone, patch it using Magisk. The output should be in Download folder.

Step 1: Transfer the patched img file to your Windows PC (to use Odin, in Linux you need Heimdall) and rename it to boot.img. Add the file to tar using 7-zip or tar command then load tar file to AP in Odin. Flash your phone and when it says PASS!, you are doing well!

So,below there are my questions. Please try to be clearer because I don't want to brick my phone. I want to be sure to do correctly before to try.

  1. let's take the Samsung Galaxy A6 and installs magisk there : OK

  2. Open the Magisk app, select Install, click Next, choose patch a file, then transfer the new-boot.img to that phone, patch it using Magisk : OK but you haven't explained how to transfer the new-boot.img file to the phone. Are you sure that everyone knows how to do this ?

  3. The output should be in Download folder : I don't understand what's the output and why it should be there.

  4. Transfer the patched img file to your Windows PC (to use Odin, in Linux you need Heimdall) : If I don't get wrong,the patched file is the new-boot.img file,right ? or it is the ouput that has been stored within the Download folder after the patching ? Should I transfer it from the Download folder of the phone to my Linux box ?

  5. and rename it to boot.img : should I rename the output file to boot.img ?

  6. Add the file to tar using 7-zip or tar command then load tar file to AP in Odin : should I convert the output file in a tar file ?

  7. should I press on the odin button called flash ? you stopped to talk about heimdall. But I'm still using Linux. Does Odin work for Linux ? Which version of Odin should I get for Linux ? I see that there are many.
