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. Also I would like to thank you for this method you really explained every steps which makes it easy for us to follow. Hope you get many subscriber and stay safe
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!!!
All my life I tried to do this by watching tutorials and it never worked. I would like to take a moment to thank you for this amazing video. Thanks alot
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.
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.
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 :)
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 👍
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?
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.
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!
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, 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!
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.
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
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.
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?
Hey @ MikeTheTechSavvy, So at 8:20 the Knox is not tripped, is that right, that the Knox will work after it as expected or is it broken? For me I will root my S20 FE but I need the Knox active for diverse Apps. Regards
