Quote: After it restarts and the screen went off I quickly pressed and held the volume up and power button until the bootloader warning appeared again, pressed the power button, and after the samsung logo appeared, quickly pressed and held the volume up until the stock recovery does not appear...

Oh, thanks! The guide for flashing the modified bootloader implied that the wipe data was a mandatory step. PPS

Always Wipe Data after Magisk-patched Bootloader? Doesn't this method of rooting the A30 require that you must wipe data after the modified boot image is flashed? Is there a way to re-root after installing a ROM update without destroying the user data? PPS

As long as you flash the multi-CSC for France there should be no issues.

In Odin, if you use the HOME_CSC*** you will retain your apps and data. I updated using XEF (France), byt today I notice that the UK (BTU) firmware with April 1 security update was released on April 28. link: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s10-plus/SM-G975F/

I am based in the USA, using the international S10+ on T-Mobile. I bought it from Clove Technology in the UK (very good service). It was for the same price as the USA model at the time (pre-order time-frame). My phone was delivered in NY the same day the phone was publicly released in the USA.

I have the international version and find that I have been getting software/firmware updates much sooner than they come through the US carriers.

Because there are other reasons to root than custom ROMs.

Well, when I rooted my P2XL for over a year, I did not use a custom ROM at all. I just installed the stock ROM every month to realize the security updates, then reapply root and custom recovery.

I might be wrong, but I believe the "patching after root" refers to the instance where a vendor (e.g. Samsung) removes a vulnerability that was used as a basis for rooting the device, thus requiring developers to find another method. This is possible, but I don't know if it's happened recently.

That was my point. This clown doesn't know how to "backup" what he's arguing about.

It was a hunch, but that's not surprising...:D

VinDiesel69 said, "Android 4.0+ have a built in full backup that requires to adb. You can restore your backup using titanium backup without being rooted." Genuine question: Can you please explain how to do this?

I'm certainly not complaining... I have the international Exynos S10+ (sourced from the UK) using on T-Mobile US and it's working good thus far. Just waiting patiently for when there's possibility to root it to do even more with the device.

Agreed! Another valuable reason for having the option to root is "freedom" - e.g. you don't have to rely on the phone/OS provider to store all your private data on their backup repository (however incomplete the data they store might be) and hold you ransom because they have what you need, and...
