Hi,

When unlock bootloader samsung and in the future I wanna back to stock firmware and re-lock the bootloader, is it still can get OTA update ?

I have experience with Asus Zenfone 5 2018, when I unlock bootloader and back to stock firmware & re-lock the bootloader. even in locked bootloader, phone cant get OTA update again. I must install manually from .zip installer.

Thank you.

nice, this is a good start to develop this device

 

[amin_za]

bro check this method for root?

this phone diffrent.
patch ap and write phone reboot to download again and show error vbmeta....

 

[rootadvisor]

Did you checked the root method ?? currently there is blocking point

there are two Vbmetas (Vbmeta.img,Vbmeta_samsung.img ) a different solution/patch is needed (twrp or magisk or both) in order to root this device.

So you are saying this root method does not work?

 

[BK☑️]

twrp should come but it's not known when, ask your twrp devs for more information

(yes it's needed to flash a custom vbmeta_samsung.img)

Is this it?

 

[CyraX_THC]

Not working root method.
After flash patched AP, phone was forced into download mode with this "log"

ODIN MODE (AVB FAIL)
vbmeta: Error verifying vbmeta type? OK_NOT_SIGNED(3)
vbmeta: VERIFICATION_DISABLE bit is set
CUSTOM VBMETA
VBMETA: No Sign info
VBMETA.

I just got an email from a source called NewsVivs and says our internation version is getting TWRP and Root soon

 

[uliek01]

enough, I'm tired of waiting, 2 months since I bought this device there is no right way to root this device, it seems like the developers are not interested in this device, and it's time I have to replace it with another device that is preferred by the developer.

Because everyone is getting the A71. Way better for 50 bucks more

yine aynı şekilde odin mode'a girip bl açarmış gibi ses yükseltmeye basılı tut. Kilitlensin mi diyince onayla. Yani aynı işlemi yapınca tam tersi işlev görür, kilitler.

MOD EDIT-Translation: Likewise, enter odin mode and hold the volume up as if you were opening the bl. Confirm when you say lock it. So when you do the same thing, it works the opposite way, locks
