Hello everyone,
Here is a complete video guide of a method I devised for rooting the Galaxy S20 (or any other Exynos-based S20 such as the S20+ & S20 Ultra & Note 20) and installing Magisk onto it.
Just make sure you follow all the steps in the correct order and that you don't skip any!!
Also, make sure you download the correct firmware file for your device variant (you can find out which one you have by using the Phone Info app from the Play Store).
It works only on Exynos-powered S20 devices (S20 - S20+ - S20 Ultra including all 5G versions), not on Snapdragon versions.
Download links:
Magisk Manager apk link: tinyurl.com/y6ux5kob
1st option for stock Samsung ROMs: SamFirm download link: tinyurl.com/y5u6b5a6
2nd option to download stock Samsung ROMs: fw.updato.com
Samsung drivers link: tinyurl.com/yahpref7
Odin 3.13.1 download link: tinyurl.com/yxvcwk4e
7-Zip: tinyurl.com/yxn7xnvt
Happy flashing!
Stay tuned to my channel for more exciting videos with the S20 as the main actor. Enjoy!

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

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.

@jimmyk1478 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@eriikrasniqii7068 Ай бұрын

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 the same phone and I don't want to brick it

@erwinploeg1930 Жыл бұрын

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!

@yoni10014 4 жыл бұрын

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?

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!
