Must Have An Unlocked Bootloader To Do This!

This An odin tar file I have created to flash along with stock odin firmware to automatically install TWRP recovery along with Disable VBMETA image. The tar file will also automatically install magisk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required

Info For Bootloader Unlocks Can Be Found In Post 2

I Do Not Recommend Mixing Bit 1 And Bit 2 Firmware!!!!

Be prepared to have your data wiped. The process tries to determine if you do or do not need to have data wipe but as a precaution just assume your data will be wiped. Especially if using U1 or W firmware
