Probably the most explained rooting method ever, I think this method works on any samsung device powered with exynos. Because I try this method on my Galaxy A30 and it worked without any problem. Just remember that rooting you galaxy device will trip knox causing some samsung services not to work since its rooted (Like Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet Private mode, Secure Folder, etc.) Which I rarely even use.

Best tutorial to Root S20 AND Best explanation how to flash security update on the phone later on so you are up to date!!!! Keep up Valuable videos coming. Stay Safe!!!
So good to live in Germany. They SAY it voids the warranty but that doesn't hold up. You'd have to prove that you didn't damage the device by your actions but software modifications usually don't damage the device.
From brief reading magisk is best for android 14. Kingroot and iroot is too old. The downgrading option still requires flashing. With no pc, magisk is best option.
Hi mike, after installing the new update, my phone no longer registers network. it sees the sim card but it shows emergency calls only. how to solve that problem
I stuck in the first step.. volume up volume down and insert the usb cable, but it charges the phone once I enter the usb cable it doesn't show the screen it showed to you, mind u help me ?
I have a G980F Panama model S20 4G and I do not see the Oem unlocking in developer options. Is this mean I do not need to turn on or something wrong? the CPU is Samsung Exynos 990. Update: When I connected to the wifi and sign in to google account, it came :)
I have a silly question but I rather ask than brick my phone, does the region of stock Samsung ROM needs to have the same region of the one I have for my phone, or should it be the region I am on, or should I just get the latest one for my model regardless of region?
Can someone pls help me after i completed all steps at 9:08 it dont boot android system but goes into same screen that is at 8:41.from there nothing happens.how can i save my phone or what should i do next.any help is appriciated.

Hi, I was wondering if you can explain to me what you were describing in the end about updating the system software by flashing... and if you can explain or show a video of the some of the features or apps available for customization after rooting? Thank you.
Does WiFi-calling work for you guys? I have the same S20+ 4G dual-sim (sm-g985f) phone that he has in the video. It still has factory firmware on it but there's not a Wifi-Calling option in the settings menus.
Where this Magisk App release from? The magisk manager you shared doesn't look the same as where you can download the Magisk manager from official website.
Hi Mike, I know this video is more than a year. I want to say that this the most comprehensive and insightful tutorial regarding S20 + I've seen. I just got an S20 + SM-G985F/DS. I can't seem to find the OEM unlocking option in the developer options. I've also tried some tricks I found on other channels such as modifying the date, still doesn't show. I have an exynos version non-5G. I tried going to download mode, and still says OEM L. Any insights would be helpful. Many thanks!
i had a fail to flash magisk_patched.tar on odin cant open the serial COM port. On the phone its said custom binary(BOOT) blocked by OEM lock. please help
⏩ Hey Mike, what exactly is different with a Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Snapdragon) when it comes to rooting? Is there any possibility to make an extension video for this? You'd really save me with that 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
I have a question : Can i install twrp recovery throught the official twrp app and then when i update my system i will lose root access, right? So what if i will install magisk AFTER that update trought twrp recovery, not trought odin, download mode and trought the erasing/factory reset process. Will it root successfully?
I have the software already to flashing my S20 ultra, the number has same with the serial number of the phone, but why while I installed in this phone with this tutorial, that is isn't installed. "Only official realized binaries are allowed to be flashed (boot)"
My Samsung S20 5g Ultra is unrooted; no OEM Unlocking option on Developer Mode either. Is there a way to root this device or elevate privilege to be a super user to access the root?

Hi Mike thanks a lot for the video! Just a quick question: I'm aiming to root my device in order to use a phone recovery app that can do a deep scan on my s20's internal memory and hopefully recover the photo's I accidentally deleted (I deleted them in Windows Explorer on my laptop having my phone connected with usb as an external drive). In your video your mention files will be all gone after unlocking bootloader, so I was wondering: how does this affect the chance to find and recover the lost photo's after factory reset? Since that is exactly why I want to root the device in the first place. Thank you in advance!
Great explanation at all! I'd like to ask that you're just patched the boot image and flashed it, in order to get root. I've flashed my galaxy tab a7 a week before and I had to flash the whole firmware to get root access. So is it not neccecary to flash the whole firmware for the s20 to get root access right?? Best regards.
You dont need a google-account on your phone. You just need to connect your phone to internet so it registers to updates. If you press update software and aborts it after registration..OEM unlocks in the menu.
hello can you show me a page where I get the original firmware from Samsung Galaxy S20 5G (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) received I have the Chinese version of the original s20 now need the original frimeare to flash a link for that please ?
Thank you for the tutorial :) June 2024 still works, rooted my S20+(5G) on Android13(oneUI 5.1) Obviously had to get the latest Magisk from their website and the latest stock firmware. Thank you again, keep up the good work 👍
That's not working for me. I have a SM-N980F and i patched boot image with magisk but while flashing getting error. ERROR OUT: Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(BOOT) NOTE: I have Android 12 How can i root my device ? 😔

Hello , i have a Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra 5g Exynos version but im facing issues to register on network, this hapends since my last update, ive tried many options to downgrade it but allways failed with odin , do you think this kind of root will fix my network problem ?
Yes I'm interested in this too... I'm looking to root a Note 10+ and this method seems to be better as it seems to load root/Magisk without having to use the button combination on every restart... *Update, just successfully did this with my new Note 10+ Snapdragon SM-N9750!
You can simply reflash all the stock images with Odin.. download the latest stock ROM via SamFirm and you're good to go; be aware that it will wipe your device though
Not being able to turn an app into system app... any suggestions??? Root was successful, tried using some apps (like link2SD) but unsuccessfully so far.
Go to magisk manager and download module called "App Systemizer (Terminal Emulator)". After installed that module through magisk, you need use Termuz or any similar emulator to do the process.
Now that's called '' step by step ''. There are a lot of *** who can learn from you. Thanks
