Been rooting since android 2 but can't even get this S23 into bootloader or recovery mode. It always boots normally regardless of which buttons I hold. What's the correct procedure?

Connect device to PC - Reboot device - When screen goes black, keep holding Vol up + Vol Down and it should boot to download mode

Ah, the usb cable is essential. Unlocking went fine. Latest magisk alpha patched the AP file without errors. However after flashing it through download mode, magisk does not appear to be active. No su binary on the system.

    More than likely. Snaps are notoriously hard to root. I wouldn't even consider it with my N10+'s.
    Newer models will likely be even more locked down.

    It's not like that. Usually before S22 Samsung was giving SD version only to limited carrier and those are locked bootloader so not possible /hard to root
    Since S22 many regions got SD like Asian countries and those SD version are as easy to root like exynos
    So irrespective of SD or Exynos, root capabilities should remain same regional specific rather than CPU specific

    Probably true about the US variants but make no mistake Samsung is actively partnered with at least AT&T. AT&T provides Samsung with the firmware specs they want. AT&T therefore has much more leverage than an individual consumer with Samsung. Don't ever let AT&T play off issues by saying they have no input or control of the firmware as in fact they very much do.

    Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets are high quality and incur higher BoM (Bill of Material).
    Network providers in U.S.A such as Verizon have stringent requirements which Qualcomm SoC pass. Samsung needs to use Snapdragon SoC if they want to launch their devices there.
    In order to maintain profit healthy, Samsung use their SoC in other regions.

    Further proof that Qualcomm and US Carriers are in the cahoots together and probably why Samsung locks the bootloader because that's the way the carriers want it.

    AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are actively involved in firmware for their devices and for unlocked devices with their network SIM cards but that would never stop Samsung from having an unlocked bootloader on the factory unlocked device if they cared to allow it. They like having us locked in.
