Dr. Ketan do you have any solution for no OEM unlock (in my case it is just gone) after bootloader onlocked? Will be some solution?

I have N980F with Exynos. I did everything like you wrote in OP (with TWRP). In ODIN a get FAIL everytime.

UPDATE 20201126

I got greyout oem unlock on N980F by this tutorial after first time unlock bootloader: https://androidmore.com/fix-missing-oem-unlock-toggle-samsung/

Flashing in ODIN is PASSED, but i can't enter TWRP, it just reboot every time. Than i flash only pached FIRMware with stock recovery, i can enter stock recovery.

Do you have any ideas about TWRP?

Hi am using the same model from Wondamobile, did you get the bootloader unlock working with these directions or did you need extra instructions as well? If you did, any tips or heads up before i attempt this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dominick_7:
Hi @dr.ketan so i was able to flash just the patched magisk to get into custom recovery, but it seems no matter what combination i try, patched magisk + patched kernal, patched magisk + twrp, twrp in ap alone, patched magisk, patched boot, patched twrp etc, i cannot get it to boot into twrp and can no longer get into the android custom recovery because it always goes to the DID screen w bar code on the bottom or right just after rooting it'll just reboot into the os.. i believe it pretty much always passes, but it seems when i do patched magisk + patched kernal, this is only way i can get into the android custom recovery is if its plugged in.. every other time with twrp itll just boot into the DID screen.. so maybe im just unable to do the buttons/cable plug right where i have to plug unplug in a second scenario or something.. but what am i missing? Btw thank you for the guide and all this help.

Hi, I have one from wondamobile, Mystic Black 512GB. All works well, just follow instructions in first post. Only issue is, you have some info on bootloader in Korean instead of English.

I had my second phone with Gtranslator ready :)

After root, samsung pay and google pay won't work, as there is an issue with SacetyNet ctsProfile, OTA updates won't work as well. But you can upgrade firmware following the same instruction without factory format in the first post.

Dr.Ketan!! Glad to see you take over the smartworld again bro

Hey, so I've run into a strange problem in the rooting process.

I've enabled OEM Unlock in the device settings, yet when I go to flash the Patched files, the device displays:

"OEM LOCK: ON(U)"

and is subsequently blocked from flashing the magisked AP and boot.img

What gives?

Looks like an uncommon situation - but if anyone can advise, help would be much appreciated.

Sweet, yea its rooted but i cant seem to boot into twrp.. maybe because i cant understand the chinese prompts to know what to do? How do you boot into twrp? If you see the post #309 i believe you may see what i mean. What did you use just the patched twrp in ap, the patched magisk in ap, patched boot in bl and twrp in user..? If theres an available ota how would you go about updating it?

Hay I know this may be a noob type question, however I haven't rooted a phone in 4 years since I got my note 8. I just got the note 20 n980f exynos

Build number QP1A.190711.020.N980FXXU1ATH3

I am trying to root it. I am not sure which firmware to use for US Tmobile as it is not listed as an option, or do I just select one that is for Tmobile and not worry about the country? I just don't want to flash the wrong version and screw myself! 😆

Also the site has changed significantly since I was last, on so I'm not entirely sure how to search the threads to find it. If it is in this thread I would look, but seeing I can't find the search this thread at the top anymore that is proving problematic. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

I see paragraph "B.Preparing TWRP : Download TWRP for your device from Here."

I go there and see red text "Exynos ONLY.".

Where I can download TWRP for Snapdragon Note20 Ultra? Use provided "Exynos only" link and its universal or there are some other link to download Snap-TWRP?

Hi @dr.ketan thanks so much for this guide. i believe every time it passes with odin, i unlocked the bootlloader and rooted fine ty, but am unable to boot into TWRP. Maybe this is because i have been flashing the wrong rom?.. i believe it originally read

AP: N9860ZSU1ATI3

CP: N9860ZCU1ATI3

Model: SM-N9860/DS

Is there a way to flash the others so they're correct again and then attempt to flash TWRP? i attempted to flash what i believe is the right rom but the CS and CSC are stuck at BTK3 instead of AT13. How do i find the correct ROM, is it based on the AP, CP OR CSC and how do i get TWRP working? There's a little background on how i got here in i believe post 309. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dominick_7:
How do you find the stock ROM? What do you match it up with, the AP, CSC etc? Seems either the AP matches or CSC or device...but out of the several ive tried, i believe they never seem to get it back to the same info when you originally do *#1234#, and it still makes it so i cant boot into TWRP as i was attempting to reply to you about above.

Guess i'm invisible? For anyone wanting to know how to install twrp if theyve had difficulty getting it to work on the n9860 from wondamobile, i believe this works https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-4-0-6-snapdragon-n986x-14-oct-2020.4159989/. You dont need to patch it, just use the tar they posted in the USER section of odin and the majisk patched in AP. i just tested it and i can finally boot into twrp, but not sure how to finish the last 2 steps on how to get master and disabler on there. Do you have to boot up let the os load so you have put the tar files on there, then boot into twrp to install them through there or something else? Also when i do *#1234# it still shows

AP: N9860ZSU1ATI3

CP: N9860ZCU1BTK3

CSC: N9860OZS1BTK3

Model: SM-N9860/DS

Instead of what it originally came with

CP: N9860ZCU1ATI3

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] revized:
We're all invisible until we get help XD

Your AP is fine and that should be all that matters, and your CSC can safely be swapped with any older/newer version with minimal mobile data modifications.

TBH I'm not sure about the final 2 steps you mentioned mate - although you should be rooted with or without TWRP.

--

Also, you can find stock ROMs via the github/xda application Frija. you want the AP to be equal or higher than your current setup to overwrite root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dominick_7:
Thank you for the reply. i believe i finally got it all working. Few questions.. So after rooting w twrp i'd just connect to odin and only flash say the csc from att firmware? Or is *#272*imeid number# sufficient? If the former, does it need to be patched too w root and twrp on the phone? After flashing twrp do you also need to install it when it asks after you format? i guess you need an sd card to do backups huh?

So I bought the Note 20 ultra N986B/DS and wanted to root just like my S10+ but the magisk instructions did not work. Then I found this thread and tried this. And I ran into these problems:

1. the phone come with ITV for CSC while living in the Netherlands I need PHN. I can flash using Odin but nothing changes.

2. When Flashing the prepared files in AP en USERDATA, I get the PASS! box but I can not get into recovery mode. Tried 5 times but doesn't matter how long I hold the Volume Up and Side Key. It just boots normally.

Can anyone help me out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
1.It will auto set active csc according your sim (provided you have multi csc rom installed) you can check in settings - about phone - software info - service provide info. Last info is according sim

2.Since Android R you needs to connect device to PC along with combo key to reboot to recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] J_Force:
Thanks for your reply @dr.ketan

So starting from scratch with your instructions. Which firmware do I download from using Frija? Do I download the ITV or the PHN?

Then do I only flash the patched AP and Userdata or also the CSC (Netherlands multi CSC) and BL?

When done I do NOT pull the cable but keep it attached to the phone? Press vol down and side key to exit download mode and when screen goed black I switch to volume and side key and hold them both, with usb cable connected until I am in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
Both csc are part of multi csc so you can download any of it (itv/phn) doesn't matter.

You got correct on recovery boot part.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] J_Force:
But can you explain why flashing the PHN changes nothing? I though it would be a good idea to setup the phone before switching my sim card over from my current phone.
