Anybody who can test on s20 fe exynos with android 11 bootloader? Thank you.
Sorry for miss choosing the right section. Thank you for having moving it to its right place.

It’s just sim card pin!! Isn’t it?

yep you're right it's the SIM.
a method like this is just saving you a literal 5 minutes. I think it's better that people learn how to take care of things themselves than have to trust someone else to keep things working for them.
setup ADB on your computer to pull the patched file back to the ADB folder and you've got everything already in place.

I don't know anything about such things! I only wanted to root my s20 fe exynos with android 11 bootloader but i couldn't find how! Im not ready to try that method as i am afraid to screw up something that i could not solve. It may be easy to some of you to unbrick or save your phone. Now im asking if this method is safe or if you can make it alot safer. That what xda forum is made for
in the one sense, the method is completely safe. if you untick the autoreboot option in Odin it should tell you if the flash has failed and you can reboot out of and back into download mode.
it's kinda unsafe to flash files from someone you just find on YouTube with barely any views.
you can use the same guide as the 5G snapdragon version or even the regular S20/21, the steps are going to be identical.
there are 2 main methods for root, 1 via recovery and 2 via patching (same as the video, except you create the patch instead of using someone else's).

for the benefit of saving yourself 5 literal minutes you could be letting someone put malware onto your phone.
read this... https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
it's the process this video is based on. even just to get more conceptually familiar with what's happening it worth a read.

These steps are difficult for me. I try to read but it is hard. I'm just wondering why xda devs didn't post how to root s20 fe Exynos android 11 ui 3.1! Can't find except that video and he claimed that it works.
lots of people here are rooted, Exynos and Snapdragon. it doesn't matter which phone the guide is for, the principle and files are the same (apart from TWRP versions if using TWRP).
see if you find this easier https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-s20-fe-exynos.4205453/

Hello, all! I just bought a new S2 8.0 device. I haven't done anything to it other than initial setup and installing the XDA app. I have a few questions before I proceed to anything else.
First of all, I noticed that my microSD card can only be formatted in portable mode, which means that my apps can't use it for data. Is there a way around it without rooting and installing a custom ROM? If not, I haven't seen any custom ROMs designed for the T-713 (unless I am missing something). Are there other solutions?
I noticed that system uses nearly 8 GB of storage. Is that typical? That seems excessive, even on a 32 GB device.
If I do root, I'll need to do a refresher on Odin (haven't used that in over a year). If some kind soul could point me to where I can learn about Odin, that would be great.
Thanks for your help.

Samsung removed the Adaptive Storage option because they are big fat meanies. A solution can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDLOAzWwd-M (its for the S7 and S7 edge but should work on our device as well).
As for custom ROMs, I'm working on one, but having some issues, so don't expect anything within a day.

Yes, same on mine. Nothing we can do about that, aside from repartition - which is dangerous and can easily brick your device. Don't try it if you don't know what you're doing.

Get a copy of the Samsung USB drivers installed, get a copy of Odin (Get it from Androidcentral, there are a lot of fake Odin downloads), and a tar.
Put said device into Download mode, put said flashable tar into Odin's "AP" slot, make nachos, and leave all the checkboxes alone. Then click "Start." the device will reboot itself when complete.

Thanks! This solution worked beautifully. It's very simple, too, for anyone who has ADB experience
Great to see that you're working on a custom ROM for this device. I'll probably root my device eventually. Thanks for the Odin info, too.

Hey there, I decided to try out the beta but I'm looking to revert to stock Oreo so I can get Pie through OTA. However I have no clue how to do it, I've read a couple threads referencing this but I can't seem to piece together what needs to be done.
Would someone be so kind to post step by step instructions on what I need to do? I'm pretty techy so just basic instructions would be a great help. Thanks and have a great day!

Download this firmware crk1 from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603879881 extract the files and you'll see inside of the extracted folder more files that have .md5 on the end of them right click on the files and click rename and just delete the .md5 part only and leave it so it still has the .tar on the end then use the REGULAR NEWEST version of Odin NOT the patched one and then load the files in their respective places AP to AP, BL to BL etc. etc. Then just flash it to the phone while the phone is in download mode and after the successful flash boot into recovery mode and select factory reset so everything is the way it's supposed to be.... Finished!
I really appreciate the help! I'm a bit confused because Mr. Orange is saying use patched ODIN but MrMike is saying not patched version. I'm not sure which version to use then.

The patched one may not work and you'll be forced to start over.. The newest version of odin is for the newer bootloader versions and the patched one isn't updated for the newer bootloader versions but you can try it if you want if it doesn't work then start over.

The patched version is usually used to switch from N950U to N950U1 or the other way.. I would just use the official version if I were you because I ALREADY flashed from 5DRL7 back to N950USQS5CRK1 and it's working perfectly.. But if you want to mess with the patched version you can but like I said if it doesn't work then you have to start over.

I never said you did. Is there a particular reason you're being so confrontational and taking things so personal? You just bit the OP's head off and called him "a problem," because he didn't take your advice exactly. I didn't even mention you, quote, or refer to you. I was just sharing my experience, yet you jump on and defend yourself. Try to realax a little and have fun.

That's because too many folks on here want someone to hold their hand through the entire process instead of actually spending the time to learn how to do it on their own and then when you go spend your time to give them the best answers so they don't waste their time running into possible problems that others have stated that they did and then person just decides to go do the opposite then it's like what did you even ask for help for then? I agree that I was a bit of a jerk but that's from constantly dealing with that on here.

Sounds like you've jumped into the deep end a bit too early... The best option for you is likely to go to your device's forum, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus
There you can probably find information and guidance on how to root, flash and install stuff to your device. And you'll be able to ask for assistance from other users that have the same device as you (not every device works the same, and that is especially true for Samsung).
A couple of tips for you, going forward:
Do your homework. Read as much as you can about the modifications you're trying to do, and Android modification in general (but remember that things can change fast and a guide you find might be very outdated by the time you read it. The forums are usually the best place for up-to-date info).
Make backups! Always make sure that you have a backup of any important data, and don't store it on the device.
Know how to go back to a working state when you mess up, because mess up you will (everyone does at some point). This tip is of course tied to the first one...
Don't follow some guide or video blindly. Make sure you understand what every step of the process does. That way you won't get stuck like this next time.
Good luck.
THIS GUIDE IS NOW OBSOLETE
Links will be added once the new guide using the firehose comes out - No more bricking!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the firehose!
I just cut and pasted the whole guide into a txt file, which is linked below in case there's ever any purpose of looking at it again.

Hi have followed the guide and got stuck at step 7. I get only the LG V50Thinq powered by android screen and nothing more. It just stays like for the past 30 minutes. I have rebooted several times but the same. i cannot access (or do not know) download mode.
Any help!
So, if your on a korean version that wil be a q version of android vulnerable. Therefore at step 6, you will need a pie kdz to flash those 4 xbl files. Do not make my mistake, you will get bricked ))

Sorry I'm afraid I don't understand. That's step 4, and you don't need to flash the whole kdz. Only the partitions the guide says to.

I think he's referring to how its a bit confusing how it says you should use android pie but also implies that you should use latest pre-march firmware, which for korean variant is actually android Q not pie so its little confusing which you should use, i could be wrong though, thanks alot for this guide though!

If someone can't deal with the level of instruction I provided here, I would very much advise against attempting it as it is inherently very risky. Probably not what anyone wants to here, but it is what it is
This is great news. Has anyone Tested using a LOS GSI or AOSP GSI? I am on verizon and have found with another phone that all GSIs on android version 9 and 10 have "No Sim Card" errors and you can not make calls or send texts (strangely you can receive both). This error wasn't seen with other network versions of the phone (palm phone). I am a little hesitant to go through this process to find out if data doesn't work on LOS 17 or AOSP 10. If anyone on verizon tries this out, please report back on how well the GSIs work, or if you find a specific ROM that works on Verizon.

Hi, thank you very much for this tutorial.
It was my mistake and got a permanent brick. It is true that the vulnerable firmware for kor is android Q and i have achieved root after downgrading to a older Q version. My problem was at step 4 because i used the q kdz and i did not download a separate pie kdz for that step.
Now i hope no one else will make my mistake since i really do not see how to get DL mode active or to switch slots without the USB. Only thing i got is the image that precedes the DL mode and the IMEI display. And since the USB is basically dead i think firehose (even if i had it) would not recover my phone.
I have flashed and unlock many phones and this is my first unrecoverable brick. My first LG though and probably the last.

I'm very sorry to hear that, but the firehose could almost definitely help you unbrick. I tried to clarify more that it has to be a pie kdz now, because before I just wrote "load your pie kdz" and you probably missed that. There should still be a warranty though, so you could try to use that if you'd like. It might say that yours expired on the website, but you can just click past it.

Thank you antintin for your reply. You bring me some hope. The warranty will not apply because it is stated clearly that any attempt to BL unlock will void it (I got it from a shop in Spain via Ebay).

Other people who bricked while different bl unlock methods were tested sent it in for warranty with no issues. The firehose will be available in November at the earliest probably. Proof of purchase from eBay should be enough, but I don't if there's any lg repair centers in Spain that support phones.

Successfully rooted korean variant, thanks for the guide! I was wondering if its okay now to update to newest firmware via LGUP upgrade mode? (I really want the system wide accent color customization in newest firmware, among other things) I assume it should be but i really don't wanna have to redo all this so id rather just ask, thanks in advance!
Hey guys ive been perusing the web for days, i cant seem to find the method that should be used to get a new rom on my phone i have the SM-N950U1.
i am also a linux user and not sure exactly how i should go about flashing when i dont have a windows machine. does any one have a clear start to finish idea how to correctly do this and what i will need to complete the root, flash. im sorry if it covered some where i hae looked but evidently not found a method. any assistance would be very grateful i really dont like proprietry bloatware and i know this is an older phone. thank you all for any assistance!
1. Unlock bootloader.
This will factory reset your phone.
I forgot the exact process of this, was a long time ago when I did this.
2. Flash a Custom Recovery with "ODIN"
"TWRP" is the most common Custom Recovery.
I think ODIN is Windows-only Software, but you could use a VM.
3. Boot into Custom Recovery & flash the Custom_ROM.zip file.
You can try out Custom ROMs from XDA from the ROMs-Section.
I may have forgotten something, so take this with caution

First of all the SM-N950U1 (snapdragons soc models) has a permanent LOCKED bootloader so no TWRP recovery.
The post from dreamytom is for SM-N950F/F-DS/N exynos models.
You can only root the SM-N950U1 models, with nougat firmware with root only, depending on the bootloader you are on and if you can find the files needed for it. The thread for that "Extreme Syndicate root thread " has been disconnected and the files taken down, so might want to ask in that thread for someone to share the files for you.
Best of luck!
