Successfully installed boot image, knox is intact (it is still zero), but there is no root. After installing boot img i'm always getting error "Security Notice Unauthorized Actions Error" or something like that.
I'm using same firmware and baseband as mentioned in first post, i didn't tried your firmware because there is userdata partition inside of archive and i don't want to delete my data, at least before i root my phone and make good backup
Please help with root.
Edit: root works with adb after installing patched image
Thanks for your work.

1. Odin @diart firmware
2. Odin diar-uca_root.zip
3. Recovery mode & adb sideload supersu, both fail (verification blablabla issue)
I got same "unauthorized actions has been detected" notice like you, but fail to add root with chainfire supersu. Trying all one click root fail too. Can you help to describe your step?

Ah, ic.
Still cannot root my phone even with other rooting tools (not try furious gold chimera yet, doesn't have it). But thanks for you @diart & @zogu anyway. you two give us hope that there's any possibility to root our AT&T S6 Edge phone.
Can someone tell me how to do it, please?
Boot image from first post is engineering boot image and it should works with all 6.0 firmwares.
I'm new to samsung, but i read that with this image is possible to remount system rw. Well on AT&T is impossible.
It is impossible to root phone with this image, but we can do a lot of useful things using adb, disable aps with pm disable, we have full access to data partition, making backups etc...
Actually i don't need root at all, i hate branding (specially if that includes some services, like at&t mail, phonebook...) on any device and i want to change firmware to some international.
All this is maybe possible with eng sboot. There is online available for 12 usd and this is not expensive, but i'm still not shure will i be able to change sboot to 925f.
Theoretically it should boot any kernel and recovery without even tripping knox, and maybe with this image is possible to install twrp, kernel, root and everything else. But also sometimes everything does not work (i read that with eng sboot fingerprint sensor does not work, it probably skip keys reading, without keys no fingerprint).
If someone is able to get sboot pj1 or pf1, please send me PM
P.S. One good thing with this eng boot is that my network selection menu has much more bands, even when i restored stock kernel. Don;t konow how, but it is there

my friend im flashing this file but odin md5 error binary is invalid ? how to fix ?
Just rename from md5 to tar. File name should be sm-g925a_uca_601.tar, flash it using odin (AP) and that's it.

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 magislk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required

I Do Not Recommend Mixing Bit 1 With Higher Firmware!!!!
Unless Using Bit Safe Firmware That Is Patched
Downloads
SM-G991U/U1/W- Model
USERDATA_AIO_G991_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL_10_10_21.tar.md5
This will force a wipe of data no mater what.
Full Odin 3.1.1 Bit1 Safe Firmware
G991USQU4AUFD_BIT1_SAFE.7z
This are odin files and will safely update all image files too bit 4 and keep bit 1 bootloaders. Unfortunately this will wipe data this is beyond my control as it seems to be a side affect of mixing firmware it causes data not to mount and therefore my AIO will format it. This is full firmware with USERDATA_AIO. This will put you on U firmware. Before flashing I recommend removing your google account and make sure in download mode you are not frp locked
If above USERDATA_AIO_G991_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL is newer than the one in this zip use the newer one from above

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
Install Instructions For Newly Unlocked Devices
You must be OEM Unlocked Bootloader
1. On Initial unlock of phone you must through setup and be signed into your google account.
2. Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING (see pic) and not PRENORMAL. If PRENORMAL then do step 1 again
View attachment 5217631
3. Use patched 3.14 odin and load file USERDATA_SLOT_G99*U_**.tar.md5 you must choose one of the FORCE_WIPE files and load in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash file
4. Phone will reboot to TWRP and remove encryption which will wipe phone. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup
Install Instructions For Updating Firmware On Phone Already Unlocked
1. Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING. If not see above
2. Use patched 3.14 odin and load stock firmware in appropriate slots use regular CSC file in the CSC slot and load file one of the USERDATA_SLOT_G99*U_**.tar.md5 in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash firmware. Do not use the User Data file that comes with firmware.
3. Phone will reboot to TWRP and check for encryption and remove if needed which will wipe phone. If phone is not encrypted data will not be wiped. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup if data was wiped or reboot normally if it was not
Install Instructions If Updating Images With TWRP
1. When done flashing images in TWRP Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING. If not see above.
2. Use patched 3.14 odin and load file USERDATA_AIO_G99*_NO_WIPE_NO_BL.tar.md5 in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash file.
3. Phone will reboot to TWRP and check for encryption and remove if needed which will wipe phone. If phone is not encrypted data will not be wiped. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup if data was wiped or reboot normally if it was not.
4. Alternatively to using USERDATA_AIO_G99*_NO_WIPE_NO_BL.tar.md5 in odin you can use AIO_Magisk_22_S20_Series.zip found in post 2

Hi @jrkruse I dont see anything in Post #2. Might you share "Info For Bootloader Unlocks Can Be Found In Post 2"
991U1 USA Snapdragon
I finished unlock with afaneh and then I flashed USERDATA_AIO_G991_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL.tar.md5 but ended up with bootloop.
https://imgur.com/WG7uFma
I then went back to post to read. Was I supposed to flash both stockfirmware and the tar file? I only did the tar file in USERDATA slot.
EDIT: Nvm. The black download links download the S20 (981) tar file and that's what I ended up flashing. Fixed by flashing the orange links for the S21 (991).
So I was sent here from the unlocked samsung bootloader's group in telegram because someone's been helping me there for the last day and a half trying to get my Samsung Galaxy watch 3 to pair with my wearables app on my unlocked and rooted s21 ultra and we've had no luck so I guess my question is how does this work? and what do I need to do?

Were you successful pairing you galaxy watch? I was able to pair mine after receiving help from Ali. 3 files need to be modified. If you still need help I have the files and would be willing to share with you so you can see what needs to be edited.

There is a updated version of the galaxy wearable fix in the telegram chat. I am rooted with magisk so i used root explorer to navigate to vender/etc/vintf/ here are two files that need modifying called manifest_lahaina.xml and manifest_shima.xml. Following the guide from the telegram you can execute 3 a few commands in terminal. Or just replaced the files included in the zip and reset the permissions. Permissions need to be rw-r--r--.

Also shared by Ali was fix for smart view and shealth, it's not part of this flashable in OP but think gear fix should be at least discussed. You'll have to modify system/build.prop
Ali stated "For screen sharing and S health following need to be in build prop : ro.config.tima=0
ro.config.iccc_version=iccc_disabled
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable"
I also edited ro.config.nox=v30 changed it from 30 to 00 so that secret mode works in the samsung browser. See screenshot. And again set permissions to rw-r--r--
Hope this helps!!
I don't suppose any of this watch trickery is in any way applicable to samsung pass?
Does not help samsung pass. I don't know exactly details but samsung pass looks at knox trip and will not work once tripped. Have looked around for a fix but have not had any luck.
Updated files in OP fixed sum bugs. Added new safetynet patch and I think wearable fix now works
Worked like a charm the 1st try. It feels good to be rooted on a Samsung device again. My previous Sammy with root was the s5. Thank you very much!
Are you going to update this to the June patch? I'm hoping to get the Heat issue fix which June addressed.
How do I check to see which bootloader version I have?
The link is incorrect in the OP and links to the SM-996U1. Does anyone have the updated link?
Can you or anyone confirm this works on already magisk rooted G9910?
I just finished setting up the phone and temporarily lost root when i renamed the Magisk app, had to reflash the patched IMG with HOME_CSC and thank god i didnt lose settings
My whole reason for TWRP is the backup/restore functions, so i never have to suffer this kind of heart attack again
I'm on OneUI 4.1 .. is that what "DONT MIX BIT 1" means? should i avoid?
Hello folks !
I just bought a galaxy S10 5G G977N and I found it difficult to work my way through all the changes made in rooting/custom roming smartphones (I had a galaxy S7 before that, it was pretty easy).
What I read for now :
How to root with magisk : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
How to install TWRP : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys105G.html
What I learned :
Rooting device is far more complicated than it was before. If I do so, I won't be able to update stock rom OTA, I'll have to reflash a patched recovery (AP file) for every update. This bothers me because its not convenient, and because messing with odin is way riskier than flashing zip from custom recovery and may brick my phone, so the less I use it, the better I think.
Plus,booting the phone will be a pain in the ass, having to do the right key combination
Installing TWRP will not change that.
What I'm wondering :
I'm a bit confused on how I will be able to update stock ROM (The way I understand it, I'll have to reinstall TWRP after each update)
And I'm even more confused about how all of this will work with custom ROMs.
Let's say I root my phone and install TWRP. If I want a custom ROM and keep it rooted, how will it work ? I'll have to unzip the ROM, patch the AP file with magisk, rezip it, flash it with twrp and voilà ? And I'll have the same key combination issue where I'll have to boot a certain way to access the rooted ROM, and if I don't, I'll boot on an unrooted ROM ?
Thank you a lot for helping. I'm really used to rooted and unbloated ROM (God I've forgotten how bloated stock ROMs are !) but the complexity of the operation stops me for now. I don't want to brick my phone and I'm not sure I'll have the courage to do all of this every 3 month for each update.
Hello!
This thread is a bit old. But since I had to dig the forum to find what I was looking for (and update my knowledge), maybe my answer will be useful for somebody else.

I agree! Thankfully, somebody smarter than me took care of that. You can thank ianmacd for his multidisabler (GitHub project's page; xda thread).
One of its functionality is to disable "Stock recovery auto-restoration".
If you want to see a guide for how to use it (for S10 5G Snapdragon only, but same principle apply for the others), afaneh92 wrote one! Same thing by corsicanu, but with official links to download TWRP (and his repository for the other stuff), and it works with other versions of the S10 too. corsicanu got his tools here if needed.
Be careful, you must format /data after disabling encryption with multidisabler. Back up your data first!
I won't be able to update stock rom OTA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No OTA if you root.
You can still upgrade the stock kernel/firmware to a newer Android version manually. Afterwards, flash TWRP, then flash multidisabler again, then run multidisabler in terminal. And, all good!
(Reflashing stock firmware disables "multidisabler")
Check for firmware updates on Samsung's changelog page.
Replace your S10 model number and CSC code in the link below:
doc.samsungmobile.com/YourModelNumber/YourCscCode/doc.html
To know which CSC you have:
Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Service provider software version
The last line should show the current CSC (three characters), e.g. mine is KTC for Korean KTC devices.
doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-g977b/ftm/doc.html
corsicanu makes it easier for us, here is his github page for the S10.
I'm a bit confused on how I will be able to update stock ROM (The way I understand it, I'll have to reinstall TWRP after each update)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To flash the ROM the first time:
Flash the ROM with TWRP (adb sideload), Format data/factory reset. Formating everything will reenable encryption if you had multidisabler installed first. I think. So I guess flash it afterwards, and format data again?
For example, you can follow Lineage OS's guide. But they don't take care of vbmeta, encryption, and other issues. I'm not sure why.
To update the ROM, it's easier: no need to reinstall multidisabler after a dirty flash. (Lineage guide to update their ROM)
I'm dropping some links you might need:
To download the last version of Odin (odin3-v3-14-1_3b_patched-zip as of date): realbbb's XDA thread.
All the versions of TWRP for the beyondx (G977B and N, maybe other letters too )
Ok. That's all for now. Good luck!
How to Root Samsung S23/S23+ *Newbie Guide*
Attention, FYI:
The Root method was performed and successfully tested with a Samsung Galaxy S23 SM-911B/DS.
I do not guarantee that it will work on the other models, I can not test it because I do not have the devices.
However, it would be nice to hear if you have done it on another device model and it all works out, post here in the forum which model you have rooted.
Spoiler: Galaxy S23 - Model Information
SM-S911B -- Europe / Africa / Middle East / Oceania
SM-S911B/DS -- (assumed same as above, Dual SIM)
SM-S911U -- USA
SM-S911U1 -- USA ( factory unlocked )
SM-S911W -- Canada
SM-S911N -- Korea
SM-S9110 -- China / Taiwan / Hong Kong
SM-S911E -- Latin America
SM-S911E/DS -- (assumed same as above, Dual SIM)
WARNING
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
Once you root the device, you will forever receive the following message: "Access denied - Unauthorized changes have been made to your phone. To get help, contact Customer Service.". Even if you reset the device back to factory settings and lock the bootloader, the message remains !!!! (with root there is a solution).
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
First of all you need the following tools.
*A previously unlocked bootloader is the prerequisite!!*
Download last Samsung Drivers.
Download Odin v.3.14.1. (Thanks to realbbb)
Download Frija or Bifrost (Github Info)
Download Magisk v26.1 (Github Info) (Please use only this Magisk APK.)
1. Go into your Phone to developer mode and activate USB-Debugging
2. Install Magisk v 26.1 APK.
3. Download your (new) Firmware in Frija or Bifrost and Unzip File to PC.
4. Unzip Downloaded Firmware.zip.
5. Take from Unpacked Firmware.zip the "AP" to your Phone and open Magisk.
Go in Magisk to Install (from Device Slot) and take file the "AP- Data" from Storage and patch.
6. After Patch go your Download Folder from Device there is a MagiskPatched .tar Data. (your new AP-Data !)
Take the MagiskPatched.tar Data from your Phone to you Computer. (in same Folder like the Firmware files)
7. Open Odin on PC and turn off your Phone. Once your device is turned off > Hold Vol. UP + DOWN and Connect your USB-C cable from PC to your Phone. (Now start your Phone in Download Mode.) > Klick 1 time Vol. UP to start Download Mode.
Now in Odin your Device must be connected like "0:COM (Number)" in blue.
8. Now take from Unpacked Firmware.zip >
BL to BL
AP to MagiskPatched.tar

CSC to ***Read Attention***
*** Attention important!!! ***
#CLEAN - If you flash the first time Magisk clean on your device you must use the "CSC_OXM". (Accordingly, you lose all data and must set up your device again!!!)
#Update_Firmware - If you already have Magisk on your device and only make a firmware update take only the "HOME_CSC_OXM" !!! With the "HOME_CSC_OXM" you will not lose any data!
Start the Flash in Odin. (it takes 5 - 10 minutes!!!) Make sure that the cable is not accidentally touched / disconnected. It is best to use the supplied cable! Make sure that the cable has no loose contact and is seated correctly!
9. When the flash is finished, Odin says 1/Successful.
Your device will now restart automatically.
10. Once your device is successfully booted, open Magisk-App and you are successfully rooted. (A further reboot is automatically performed by Magisk!)
Finish !!! Gratulation !!!
If you have rooted your device I recommend the following Magisk extensions:
- Magisk Bootloop Protector v1.8.1-10015 - Safe you from Bootloop if u add wrong Magisk Module.
- BusyBox v1.0.4 - must have...
- SafetyNetFix v.2.4.0 > to pass SafetyNet and use Apps like Banking, etc.
- digitalkey_disabler_afaneh92 v1.0 > to FIX pop-up message "Access denied - Unauthorized changes have been made to your phone. To get help, contact Customer Service.". Even if you reset the device back to factory settings and lock the bootloader, the message remains !!!! (with root there is a solution)."
- ***Knox Patch v.0.5.0 (Thanks to BlackMesa123) > to FIX any Samsung Apps.
***For the KnoxPatch you need LSPosed v.1.8.6-6712-zygisk-release + KnoxPatch-APK + the KnoxPatch-Magisk modul.
Attached I have created a folder where I upload more Magisk extensions and APK tools for the S23. I will try to maintain it. If something useful is added I will pin it directly.
Root-Tools-Collection
If I have forgotten something, complement me.
Greetings Ramme
Do you have experience with ROM tool from Dr.Ketan? In this Magisk module there is an AdFree option and a lot customization. I thought that then KnoxPatch isn't needed because the fixes are also included.

Yes, I personally use the Dr.Ketan Pro version. However, I try to work without the ROM-tool this time.
There is the ROM-tool-apk and if you pay the ProTwearks-extension-apk.
The problem is that you have to reset all settings in both tools after each system update, so I personally see no advantage in the ROM tool. With the last firmware update I was a little too hasty and have even shot me the ROM tool.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ketan makes no FULL ROM for the S23/S23+ so you have to live with it.
The Pro version is personally only for debloat.
On the subject of AD-Free, this is a nice extension, but this is a non-configurable AD-blocker, so you can not set personal configurations such as adding exceptions. So the classic and well working way use AdAway.
For AdAway there are some sources, I recommend if you are lazy the GoodbyeAds source + Own Exceptions.
Regarding the Knock Patch, I can't say anything about it, I use the file I pinned + LS-Posed (as a shortcut) and it works fine.
My SafetyNet is PASS.
Hello will this work on galaxy s23 sm-s911n ?
If not, do you have root instructions for sm-s911n

If you have the possibility to unlock the bootloader, it should work. The steps do not change.
However, I can't guarantee that it will work, so you have to try it at your own risk.
As far as I know, the bootloader cannot be unlocked on the US models, so you have no possibility to root there.

Thank you for the prompt reply!
I'm in USA T-Mobile and purchased the galaxy s23 sm-s911n so I can get the 512gb version
I'll let you know when I get the phone and try the rooting to see if it works.
Fingers crossed
Thanks

I had exactly the same problem, so it is very important to use exactly this Magisk version, which I have linked. Also, after installing Magisk, do not update Magisk for the time being.

No this is the APK which was posted in the "How to Root" topic by Dr. Ketan. This is currently the only Magisk APK that works with the S23 models.
For more info about the Magisk(KlickME). (Thanks to @BlackMesa123)
I have only uploaded everything separately in my cloud, on the one hand so that I can find the data quickly, on the other hand so that I can always keep the data up to date.
The only thing stopping me from rooting is losing Samsung Pay, which allows me to pay for public transportation without needing to unlock/authenticate.
Is there a way to retain Samsung Pay after rooting?

No there is (currently) no possibility to use SPay, there probably won't be.
You can use GPay as an alternative.
But it is also all described above in the topic. Please read it carefully before questions are asked. Alternatively, use a translator...
If new special possibilities come, I will of course share them with you, if you discover important features, please share them with me as well.

Hello all,
I'm running into an issue rooting S23 Plus that im not finding any information about online.
My boot loader is unlocked, I've followed the process to root. After installing the patched file from Magisk, the phone boots fine and gives me the setup, but I get an error at the portion where I accept Samsung terms. I just get -45
If I erase the phone back to the default FW, the setup completes without issue.
Has anyone ever seen this error before?

Unfortunately not yet seen/had.
Try to reset your device according to my instructions, but for the first time without Magisk. Do not use the Home_CSC, but the normal CSC for the first time.
If your device can be set up and you get into the system, repeat the flash process with Odin, but now use the patched AP file and the Home_CSC file.
Now your device should boot, is set up and it should also have Magisk on it.

Okay, so just to confirm I'm doing this all correctly, since I'm fairly new to rooting.
I've downloaded the stock FW from Samfrew.
It contains 5 files.
AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME_CSC
On a clean install, I need to transfer AP to the phone and use Magisk to patch. After patch, I move back to my PC.
In Odin, I should be using AP from Magisk, then BL, CP, and HOME_CSC files from stock FW.
Is this correct?

Download your ROM in Frija.
Take out all the data.
Flash as follows:
BL, AP, CP, CSC. ( do not use the magisk-Patched-AP data)
Boot your device, set it up.
Once it's set up, install the Magisk APK version I post above and launch Magisk.(Dont Update Magisk!)
Drag the AP file to your device, patch the AP into Magisk and make it back to your PC.
Now flash BL, (Magisk-AP), CP, Home_CSC.
Then your device should boot normally and magisk is installed.

I tried this step by step.
After flashing with BL, Magisk-AP, CP, and Home_CSC, the phone will not boot. Eventually it tells me I need to factory reset. If I factory reset, the phone will boot to the setup, but im still met with "-45" when the phone should activate.
I'm looking for a good source of firmwares, i know the famous sites but some firmwares doesn't seem to be listed. I know in the time os Samsung KIES there were tools which communicated directly with samsung.
For example these firmware builds for the SM-G975Ux aren't listed on most firmware sites but have the December secutiry update with binary/bootloader version 8: G975USQS8IVL1 and G975USQS8IVL2
All the big sites have ROMs for that phone (same one I have). There is no "Ux" model... it's *U or *U1, with the latter being unlocked. IF you search for U1 ROMs you have many selections, but most get the XAA version which will usually change carriers automatically based on the SIM card.
The latest BL=8 version I see there is https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-G975U1/XAA/download/G975U1UEU8IWB6/1741280/ which is the February 2023 security update. I believe this is the last one we are getting (but I could be mistaken as there may be 1 more security patch, I don't remember).
There's U U1 0 W F N .... I'm looking for the oldest firmware with binary version 8, but it seems the sites don't show all firmwares available.... i'm looking for the oldest firmware with U8 bootloader (or any compatible bootloader with binary 8 version), i could have a look at all sites and try my luck... but they don't seem to have all data. but like i said i prefer some original source xml files... i saw some url's to original samsung servers but can't find them anymore.
There is already a firmware available with the march update.... but you have to be lucky to find them... i'm looking for original sources. like update.zip's and such
Found the first one....

I'd recommend around sammobile and samfw. These are the two sources I use the most
hey!

if i flash a new rom (whether original or custom rom) nothing happens after the reboot... download mode works too, flashing twrp works too! however, the system boot does not work via twrp either... not even a bootloop, the cell phone does not react at all! the task combination for
Right now I don't even care if I get the original firmware or a custom rom running... I hope I didn't brick it (((
My old device was a G930F, its unbreakable make sure you flash the right rom and wipe data and dalvik cache after flashing.... THis ons is locked so it doesn't have fastboot. My G-930F came with fastboot enabled so you can always fastboot a recovery.img. like TWRP
Did you try to download TWRP from twrp.me and "fastboot boot twrp-3.7.0_9-0-herolte.img" ? it should boot to twrp in fastboot mode (hold volume down + home + power).

1. is your KG status is broken?
2. Is your bootloader unlocked?
You know how to flash lineageos through twrp right? and how to use odin?
Maybe flash lineageos to see if everything works.... and then revert to original software. Be sure to wipe cache/dalvik and userdata

Yes, I know there are many other variant firmwares out there, but for a U phone (snapdragon) there is really only U and U1... the rest are incompatible.
There is no "older" firmware with binary 8, because the firmwares are packaged with the proper/compatible binary already. Basically, the "binary" is the bootloader version. On Snapdragon phones, you must have the proper BL/binary to flash, as you already know. You can't interchange the binary/BL with the ROM and security updates because they are not made that way.
The update.zip you're looking for are updates sent by Samsung directly, and they can update the ROM (and Binary) from one stock version to another... but, again, they will update both the binary/BL as well as the ROM, so they can't be broken up to only do one or the other.
It sounds like you're trying to get to an older ROM version (for whatever reason) with an older security patch level as well? Basically, this cannot be done on Snapdragon phones. Once you're on an updated binary/BL, you're stuck there (at least today you are).

I solved the problem! I had unlocked the bootloader, but I also had to deactivate verity via CMD with twrp+adb "adb disable-verity"
ok i've solved the problem now, but does anyone know why i couldn't even start the original stock roms? Actually, the stock ROM should set everything to factory settings...

I've tried different firmwares, its all about snapdragon. You can also flash SM-G975W parts and other snapdragon variants.... there's a lot of variants out there.
I first upgraded and then downgraded to the parts i wanted and am on a rom now with security patch level December 2022, as long as the binary version is the same there's no problem. I've got the latest modem installed and the oldest firmare and bootloader for the latest binary version, i can upgrade or downgrade my bootloader. I already asked someone before if this was possible and if he could confirm because before i was only able to flash CSC and AP i think.
If there's no updates comming anymore why not downgrade and wait for a new leak
I'm also sure we can unlock the bootloader, i'm trying to make an lposed module. I've installed lspatch and lposed and they work fine for some modules. The bootloader unlock has several prerequisites (properties and such) if i can make it look for other properties or something like that we might get an unlock option. Also it looks for an encrypted file on EFS, if someone with an unlocked samsung phone could copy that file we would be a lot further.
It's called /efs/sec_efs/sktdm_mem/encmembership.txt and should be an encrypted file, also if anyone knows how to set ro properties without root (like a stub before the preference controller starts) this would be very usefull.
