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.

Currently have S20 FE Tmobile Version
I want to install the the unlock phone ROM to remove some of the bloatware and the TMobile bootscreen. Any suggestions
I had my S10 unlocked to work with any carrier, but the default is Sprint, it keeps asking me to activate the phone which is driving me nuts. My SIM works but its not a sprint SIM. I was wondering if I could just flash a Verizon FW to it of the same build? I tried to root this phone but im having problems-That was my first intention. My phone is a S10 Model SM-G973U P.S. Is there anyway to root this model? I tried Magisk. Thanks, Rob

You can try to insert a Sprint sim card for a few minutes. Maybe that helps to prevent the activation message.
Bad news about rooting... bootloader is locked.
Here is a thread for you:
Snapdragon root [waiting room] discussion
I think this thread is needed. I am an HK snapdragon S10 owner and really want root, I tried the method that is available which some claim is only for Exynos but no official word of it that I found but after flashing patched firmware, phone...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hello all,
I have a newbie question - please be patient and point me in the right direction. (And yes I did use Google first).
The question is about rooting the (Canadian) S20 FE 5G.
I understand there are different ways to root - and all require unlocking.
For unlocking there are two sets of instructions
- one instruction says I go into developer settings, select unlock and all is good
- the other instructions advise that one has to pay to have this unlocked (to some guy on Telegram) and the price is pretty expensive.
So which one is it?
I am considering the S20 FE and rooting would be one of the first things -so I would like to know if that comes at an extra cost or not.
Thank you for any pointers!
if you have a Canadian FE and it's firmware is earlier than March (as I understand things) you can ONLY pay via the man on telegram to get it unlocked. if your firmware is after March even that might not work for you.
all Qualcomm phones sold in the US and Canada can't be unlocked via simply toggling OEM unlocking in developer options.
As 3mel said "... all Qualcomm phones sold in the US and Canada can't be unlocked via simply toggling OEM unlocking in developer options"
too many folks just don't get that !!!
As far as paying > some person online- True But ... at this time, there are a few that say they do the S20 FE 5G cheap too. Either via Email or Their App.
All I Do Know, is IF you do this, You will not get any OEM updates, (Seeing how they (samsung) that the S20 FE 5G will see 3 major updates at least, came with 10, we are on 11, and so 12 is coming)
Yes, I see you may not wat to have read that, but, with the Carrier unlocked, and Root, am sure in a short time, we can see many different roms for these Newer Phones...
if you remove root and any custom recovery (usually by just flashing stock over everything) you will start receive OTA updates again.
that's even if the bootloader is still unlocked!!
I doubted this at first but it worked for me. plus updating and reapplying root isn't that hard once you've got a decent idea about what each step is doing and why it needs to be done.
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.
So I have a verizon model of S20 FE 5G which is unlocked for all sims. Is there any way to flash global firmware and get rid of verizon bloatware without having any kind of problems ?
I tried flashing this https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G781U1/XAA/G781U1UES9FWB1
Odin tool says security check abl error.
the Verizon FE has different hardware for the mmwave 5G, it's not gonna work, flash back to Verizon fw.

Well I tried flashing the unlocked firmware on S20 FE 5G UW with patched odin tool but it didn't work. So I am using verizon firmware and just debloated it with adb tool. I also unlocked secret codes on verizon firmware through an app.
