on the motherboard there is a e-fuse that get's blown when you root, and when blown certain things stops working, like Samsung pay and secure folders.

But the camera works fine with no degradation (on sony phone the camera looses it's algoritms when rooted)

there is no way to go back efter root with the e-fuse, only way is to change the motherboard

I just tried on my Galaxy S20 (SM-G981B) but no luck using Canary Magisk Manager (72f6770d) (278)

Boot loop after flashing and factory reset.

I previously tried to patch the complete AP file, but same thing if I start my phone whith recovery key combination (without it, boot OK but no root)

I've done this before on my S10, but seems I'll have to wait a little more

Just follow the steps of this thread and it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Ghent31:
I've retried from scratch, with a clean Rom before starting the procedure.

Still no luck : boot loop when rebooting after factory reset.

I followed exactly the steps, only patching the boot image

What options should I choose when patching on magisk manager (dm-vertiry...) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] chieco:
both options at the top where already selected and I left it that way. AVB 2.0 and forced encryption.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Daniehabazin:
the update isn't released for my region (NEE) but according to the internet you should load all slots in odin but for slot CSC you should use HOME_CSC_* and not CSC_*.md5.tar

also don't forget to extract the boot.img.lz4 and patch in magisk since you'll overwrite the patched one with the update.

but i'll ad a section in the first post when the update is released in my region and i had time to test it out for myself.

imagine working from home as a sysadmin, but with the kids home too, and also the new doom released, so there is very little time getting to play with my new phone.

you have to install the magisk app manually. and only patching boot is enough. and no key combos needed. just follow the instructions and it will work! read them again you probably just missed something.

1. unlock the bootloader (oem unlock in dev settings,

if you go the route "reboot to bootloader" then you don't get the prompt to unlock the bootloader.
