New to Samsung Note 9 Exynos

What I am asking is when I get the Phone what should I do first? Root first then setup for T-mobile then Custom Rom? I have rooted phones in the past all US variant phones. I tried searching but came up empty. Sorry if this has been asked before I'm just not finding it.
I have just ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F/DS 128GB (FACTORY UNLOCKED) 6.4" 6GB Exynos 9810. My intentions are to Root and unlock bootloader. I'm on the T-mobile network. Any suggestions on what I should do first before i pop my Sim Card in.
Thanks in Advance

this will give you knox 0x1
install twrp via odin without reboot ticked, manually boot into twrp with the button combination.
flash alexndrs devbase to avoid rmm lock issues (his rom will also backup your efs, this is vital)

Add multiple user on S10 SM-G973U possible?

Hello, I saw that you can edit the build.prop file to enable multiple users, but unsure how with my specific phone. Magisk can only root Exynos phones. And TWRP supports the international S10 phones but not the US ones. Has anyone been able to do this?

You need root for that and the U.S. phone variants of the S10 have locked bootloaders, so no root or TWRP for us which is sad.

Love the camera, but hate the operating system on this thing. Thanks.

Question Bootloader Unlock & Rooting help please.

I just got my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G SM-998U How do I Unlock the bootloader, root & install Msgisk, and customize my kernel? I have the Snapdragon version if that helps any.
- Thanks.

There is a search function. Make sure you understand what tripping Knox does as you cannot undo it. And remember Magisk Hide has been discontinued by the dev so most apps will be able to detect the phone is rooted again.

Why didn't you research this before you aquired your device? It's not likely your phone is eligible as unlocking the BL requires you haven't updated it. Additionally you'll trip knox and lose a number of features, to include ongoing updates. If you wanted a device you could root and desired a Snapdragon variant those are available without paying for that service. So based on all the features you'll forfeit what advantages outweigh this? Those should be substantial to justify all the down sides you'll incur.

Thank you for your reply. What phone would you suggest is best for customizing and closing roms?l

OnePlus seems to be the concensus choice.

If you want an S21 the Global Exynos variant has an Unlocked BL plus the best selection for Custom ROM's. The SM-G9980 Snapdragon variant has an Unlocked BL as well. If you chose the S21 all the issues I mentioned are still in play, the only difference is you don't have to pay to unlock it.

Flash S20 firmware to s20 FE 5G?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to flash the firmware for a regular S20 5G (SM-G981) to an S20 FE 5G. My phone is from Verizon (SM-G781V) if that matters. They both have the same processor I believe (Snapdragon 865). Only difference is amount of RAM I think. I would think the regular S20 would have more features than the FE version and would like to enjoy them. Thanks in advance.

U can add G981 features to your G781V without flashing by edit kernel

How do I go about editing the kernel without being able to root or even unlock the bootloader? There is no option to allow for unlocking the bootloader in developer options that I see. Unless there's a trick I don't know about.
I also assume Magisk is out of the question too? I know some phones you can download the firmware and the Magisk app will patch the boot image from the AP file but bootloader still has to be unlocked for that too correct?
And thank you for saving a potential bricked phone before I went ahead and did something stupid.

Very much wanting to know the answer to this as well.

no is the answer, Odin shouldn't let you flash another phones firmware. your FE isn't even compatible with software from other FE versions never mind the S20.

Unrooting S10 plus 5G

Hey everyone, I am stuck with this s10 plus in a root, it's rooted with Magisk, I've tried uninstall from app but is not working, I've read about flashing the device but the problem is I can't find my firmware on model no it says G997B and on service provider software it says G975F, which one to choose? Plus I can't figure out the country aswell, in dire need of guidance thanks in advance.

In the description you write that you have S10 plus 5G and there is no such model! Either you have the S10 plus or you have the S10 5G.If you have an S10+, the G975F is for you, the G977B is for the S10 5G! But you write G997B and that's S21.
