How To Root Samsung Galaxy A12 with Magisk (SM-A125F)
If you like to customize your Samsung Galaxy A12 (SM-A125F) and have complete control over its firmware, then the first thing you should do is root it. You can root the Samsung Galaxy A12 with model number SM-A125F by using Magisk, the most popular rooting tool for Android phones. Magisk enables root and allows you to completely customize the system of the phone. Furthermore, you can use modules with the help of Magisk Manager. There are different modules that serve different purposes that you can freely download and enable.
Samsung continues to make it difficult for users to root their devices. For example, you cannot flash custom binaries by default. You need to unlock the bootloader first, which will wipe all data. KNOX is also something to be kept in mind. KNOX counter gets tripped when custom binaries are flashed. This avoids the warranty in certain countries.
Below you have a detailed tutorial on how to root your Samsung Galaxy A12. You will need to unlock the bootloader, patch the firmware, and install Magisk. If you get stuck in any of the steps of the tutorial, leave a comment down below and we will assist you.
How To Root Samsung Galaxy A12 with Magisk
Installing Magisk on your phone is done in three steps. The first step is to unlock the bootloader and make it accept unofficial images, the second step is to patch the firmware and flash it through Odin, and the last step is to correctly boot the phone with Magisk installed.
Before you go ahead with the tutorial below, please read all of the warnings below. Do not proceed if you do not want KNOX to be triggered or if you do not want your data to be erased. NaldoTech shall not be held responsible if anything wrong happens with your phone.

28.3.2021: Download of patched boot.img.tar failed with error:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [boot]Fused 1 > Binary Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed : boot
KG STATUS : PRENORMAL was the culprit. For naive users inexperienced with Samsung devices like myself might be usefull to have warning in the rooting guide to avoid PRENORMAL state and link to instructions how to do it.
Update 8.4.2021: To get rid of PRENORMAL state is enough to wait for a week with sim, active data connection and maybe also logged into google account. Do not reboot or disconnect network during wait time. Check the OEM ulocking state in developer settings time to time (to trigger status verification on Samsung servers).
Flashing unofficial binary succeeded afterwards.

1) I guess it’s not necessary to keep google account. Haven’t confirmed myself however.
2) After unlocking the bootloader you should restart to system, connect to network and let the device verify status with Samsung servers. This way you avoid PRENORMAL status (without waiting) and will be allowed to flash patched AP. After the flash your device will be wiped so any existing google account is deleted anyway but after first boot into system you have to connect to network once again else device gets locked and you can start over. After your device succesfully synchronises itself with Samsung servers, you can disconnect from network and I don’t see reason why you would need to have Google account if you don’t want one.
3) You’ll have to find out yourself. Personally I think that if you follow process from 2), wifi might be enough and no Google account would be needed at all but I cannot confirm that. In worse case if anonymity is paramount for you, just plug in some cheap prepaid SIM if such things are still availabe in your country and throw it away afterwards.
4) By carrier do you mean AT&T, Vodafone and such? No idea about your provider. Devices from open market are unlockable for sure but try to search the forum whether anybody encountered trouble with your provider.
As I wrote before, I have no previous experience with Samsung so I followed linked instructions and didn’t experiment. If you want to help others, try to find out yourself and don’t forget to report your findings here

They might refuse the devices I have, and the A21 seems the best option in my price range, Rather than suffer from «bought in Store» sabotaged unit, I’ll get one FACTORY unlocked.
US Carriers have gotten pretty evil, I’ve suddenly learned «Better the Devil you KNOW than meet a new one»

Just to elaborate on the Bootloader unlocking.
Samsung has a service called VaultKeeper to prevent unoffical firmware. Checking the «Enable OEM unlock» option is greyed out after Bootloader unlock will ensure the VaultKeeper to accept unoffical firmware. This requires internet connection. I suggest you to give the phone more time to check bootloader unlock state if you have a very slow / unstable internet connection.
If the outcome of the above steps does not appear to be true for you, your phone maybe cannot unlock bootloader.

This is my personal way on how I got to root my phone
WARNING: ROOTING WILL VOID WARRANTY (MEANING NO WARRANTY) AND WILL DELETE ALL DATA
You need around 2 hours to do this if you don’t have experience with it!
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Latest version of Odin 3.13.3
Your firmware CSC (go to settings > about phone > software information > Service provider software version and see the last 3 letters, that is your CSC)
A brain, patience, common sense, time, basic computer knowledge
Step 1: Download firmware from here, in the link change CNX to your CSC (3 letter thing mentioned in requirements)
Step 2: Extract your AP file from the firmware zip
Step 3: Patch your entire AP file with magisk, from your phone
Step 4: Move the patched AP file to your pc
Step 5: Click AP in ODIN and choose the patched file
Step 6: Close your phone, hold vol up and vol down and after 8 seconds, connect your USB into your phone, then open download mode by pressing the vol up key
Step 7: Disable auto reboot from options. Now press START on ODIN, wait till it says Pass!
Step 8: Re-download the magisk app used to patch the AP file, and follow the steps that magisk gives! (DO NOT RESTART YOUR PHONE BEFORE FINISHING WITH THIS STEP, YOU WILL HAVE TO FLASH ALL ORIGINAL FILES AGAIN)
