Given the recent news with the S21, I want to go ahead and purchase an S10 for my significant other. I read in another thread that S10s from China have both snapdragon and can be rooted and I wasnt sure if there were other models similar in this regard? Also what is the model for the Chinese variant?
ALL S10 phone variants can be rooted. The China model is G975O or G975F I think though.
all the models are BOOTLOADER unlock able as well . the guy charges for the service but ive been here since day 1 (Galaxy phone) and I can attest 100% that he's legit. For more info seek this link:

It looks like TWRP will soon be ready for release for the Galaxy A71 Snapdragon chipset. I'm not sure yet what all models it will cover but I have it on my A71 5G SM-A716U and it is working great thanks to afaneh92 who has developed a lot of TWRP versions. This of course needs to have the bootloader unlocked to root and install. More info here:

Is there anything that I can do to help with the development of the twrp for the A71SM-716U
That would be a question to ask afaneh92 although I think he has it handled but he may ask for you to test it as I don't believe he owns this model. You may want to PM him here or get Telegram and get his link for Telegram in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-for-samsung-us-canada-devices.4215101/
Also just saw a note from him on Telegram that he is putting final touches on it so I expect in the next day or so he will post it in a new thread on XDA - I assume it will be in the A71 sub-forum on Recoveries.

The principle is always the same. I also have a G781B and have done it that way too.

I just wanted to ask if the fingerprint lock works after rooting? Since it is powered by knox and from what I've read, rooting trips knox and all its services. Please guide.

Hi, i checked those instructions and for unlocking the bootloader, it appears not to be an option for those of us with G781W (Canada version). Am I out of luck for now? Device shipped with latest firmware.

follow a guide on the process, there's a format of the data partition involved for bootloader unlock, for magisk and for internal memory encryption removal.
if you want root without TWRP follow this guide https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
if you want root AND TWRP visit the kernels recoveries and roms section, see afaneh92's TWRP thread for snap dragon.
read and read again until you've got a rough idea what you need to do. make sure you've got everything you'll need before you start.

Hey bro, idk if you will read this but i really need help with rooting an S20 FE Snapdragon. I was decided to buy an S20 Plus Snapdragon, SM-G986U, I was ready for purchasing it but just days ago I noticed in many forums here that S20 Snapdragon couldn't be rooted, only Exynos based in, so as the S20 Plus couldn't be I thought S20 FE would be the same, but reading all the replies here I think I have a hope now. I want root because I play Fortnite Mobile and root allows me to unlock 90 fps on any device. I really hope you can help me, of this depends if I purchase a new phone or not lol.
I thought u could please help me in root process of S20 FE or maybe S20 Plus if it's possible.

what country are you in ?
if you're in the US or Canada you won't be able to root now sadly. in other countries the FE with snapdragon or Exynos can both rooted
HOWEVER... if you want a 90fps refresh rate then NONE of the FE models support it, the hardware physically cannot do it. it's 60 or 120 nothing else.
Is there root for SM-G781U1/DS? It's an unlocked S20FE using Verizon.

Is there a current list of which versions can be unlocked and rooted? AT&T in the US recently added a number of international models to its whitelist.

Samsung mostly sells snapdragon flagship phones in the US and Canada, they're only locked because Samsung does what the US carriers want. but Samsung also only usually sells the snapdragon versions of it's phones in America, Canada and Asia. people think all snapdragons can't be rooted but that's not true.
if you buy a snapdragon Samsung from outside of the US or Canada you'll be be able to root it. if you buy an FE in the states you WON'T be able to unlock it, it's all about where you buy the phone.

Questions belong in the Questions and Answers subforum. As a courtesy, I have moved your post. Please ensure you post in the appropriate sections.
An unlocked bootloader is required for root, and Samsung Snapdragon devices are typically not bootloader unlockable.
Enable Developer Options; do you see OEM Unlocking?
hi and thanks for the reply,
Unfortunatly nope... no OEM unlocking..
Since it's already unlocked, i guess it's only carrier unlocked and not factory unlocked, is that right?
I think theres no other way to flash a custom rom, other then by rooting it first, right? or is there other methods without rooting it?
on that thread, lots of discussion about it, and they claim its now possible to unlock snaps https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/snapdragon-root-legit.3966208/#post-84715421
As replied on that thread, there was a root process for older BL versions. Current/updated phones cannot be rooted at this time. If you do root an older BL, you were also stuck at that level - you could not patch or upgrade to newer versions (OS or security patch levels).
Check out the first reply on the second page of the thread you linked..
